In fact, Ming Shaoyan did not have to go to wine social tonight. Ordinarily, he would probably decline and go home. But, when he was about to refuse today, he suddenly remembered there was an extra person at home.

How irritating.

Ming Shaoyan stayed silent for three seconds, then went to the wine social. 

The companions at the wine social were all tier 1 or tier 2 celebrities. Compared to those other not-so-young bosses, Ming Shaoyan was too young and too handsome.

Furthermore, he is the director of Shengyu!

But, the most important thing was that Ming Shaoyan was still single.

Therefore, if they could marry Ming Shaoyan, they could walk sideways in the entertainment industry in the future. 

Ming Shaoyan seldom attended wine socials, so it was difficult to encounter him. Each and every one of the female stars present began to feel restless. Among the female stars present, the most popular tier 1 star, Xiao Hua, smiled delicately and poured a glass of red wine for Ming Shaoyan. She pursed her red lips and said she wanted to give a toast to Ming Shaoyan. Ming Shaoyan merely gave her a glance before treating the person like air.

Xiao Hua stiffened while the other female stars present all snickered.

After the wine social ended, before everyone got in their cars, a pure and fresh-looking girl with a completely different style from Xiao Hua just earlier, gradually approached. She pretended to be somewhat drunk and wanted to lean on Ming Shaoyan. Ming Shaoyan expressionlessly stepped aside. The girl lost control, her high heels twisted, and she fell down flat on the ground with a plop.

Xiao Hua, who was just embarrassed earlier, laughed on the spot.

A man with a lean figure, who had a decent relationship with Ming Shaoyan, came over to joke with Ming Shaoyan. “You should not be too picky. How could it be so easy to find someone who meets all your requirements.  It should be fine as long as it is close enough…”

Ming Shaoyan’s gaze landed on the girl who fell and was sprawled out on the ground. “You mean this kind?”

A certain boss: “…”

Ming Shaoyan made a joke, leaving a bunch of people laughing, while he himself got into the car without the least bit of reluctance. ~ Read this directly on ClearSpringsTL . com please ~

His brain must have malfunctioned today, which was why he came to such a senseless wine social and encountered such a senseless group of women.

Ming Shaoyan seemed to have a drank a bit too much today.

Over the years, he has developed a habit of drinking more when his mood wasn’t smooth.

It was already 10:00 p.m. when Uncle Li came to pick him up. Uncle Li was quietly driving in front while Ming Shaoyan sat in the back of the car with his eyes closed.

Perhaps it was because of the alcohol tonight, or perhaps it was because he met with Tang Tang today, but the moment Ming Shaoyan closed his eyes, he recalled the scene back when Ming Shaofan brought that woman back.

Their father disapproved so Ming Shaofan started making a rukus.  Later, their father and Ming Shaofan were busy quarreling while their mother was in the middle, going back and forth trying to mediate.

He was still young at the time. He only felt annoyed seeing his parents and older brother quarrel every day. However, he did not have the opportunity to be annoyed for very long as his brother ran away. Their mother chased after him, but afterwards, the two of them could never return again.

And, after a few years, even his father left.

He did not want to stay at the Ming Family’s ancestral home. It contained too many memories of the past, so he moved to a vacant newly built villa. The house was very bright and spacious, which was completely devoid of any traces of the past.

Except for Tang Tang, who is staying at his home tonight. 

The house was still brightly lit. This has been a habit of Ming Shaoyan’s for many years. The light remains on even when he sleeps.

[TN: (ಥ﹏ಥ) poor Shaoyan]

Ming Shaoyan simply attended to his hygiene before lying down on the bed. The effects of the alcohol were slowly increasing. His head throbbed but he was also sleepy.

When he was almost asleep, Ming Shaoyan groggily thought that he should probably drink an extra cup of coffee tomorrow morning.

What a pity that the barista with pretty good craftsmanship left.  The flavor of the coffee ground by Aunt Cheng was honestly a little ordinary. Tomorrow, he will have Uncle Li look for another barista with better skills to come. ~ Read this directly on ClearSpringsTL . com please ~

The next day, as usual, Ming Shaoyan naturally woke up at exactly 7:00 a.m., but he was still a little dizzy due to the effects of drinking alcohol yesterday.

He went to the bathroom and showered, opened his wardrobe, and selected a suit. One by one – a shirt, vest, tie, and wristwatch. Every article was worn meticulously, with nothing out of place.  

Ming Shaoyan came out of his room at 7:30. When he reached the staircase, he paused as if he suddenly remembered something and looked up the stairs towards the third floor.

The villa has a total of three floors. Ming Shaoyan’s bedroom, study, and gym were all on the second floor. Previously, the third floor had remained vacant. Now, it was occupied by Tang Tang.

Ming Shaoyan retracted his gaze after one look and walked downstairs.

The villa is as quiet as usual, but there was a faint aroma of coffee that permeated the air.

Ming Shaoyan felt a little hapless.

He liked coffee, particularly Blue Mountain coffee. The villa previously had a highly skilled barista, but that person resigned from work two weeks ago and left the villa.

Then, his secretary helped him find a couple of substitutes, but Ming Shaoyan was not very satisfied. In order to provide him with a satisfactory cup of coffee, Aunt Cheng persistently nestled in the kitchen and wasted coffee beans every day.

Ming Shaoyan stepped into the kitchen, prepared to tell Aunt Cheng to stop busying herself, but he saw the person whom he originally thought was still sleeping in her room.

Ming Shaoyan was too shocked and momentarily thought he was not fully awake and seeing things.

He took another glance. He was not seeing things.

The young lady with a ponytail smiled when she saw him and placed the freshly ground and brewed coffee on the table.

“Xiao Shu, try it and see if you like it.” The young lady said. After she said that, she nervously added, “If you are dissatisfied, I will help you switch it with another cup.”
