Luo Xiaoxiao stood up immediately and said awkwardly, "I'm sorry, Brother Zhang, I'm allergic to alcohol and can't drink."

After these words were spoken, everyone at the table fell silent.

Everyone present is a smart person. Who doesn't know that excuses like alcohol allergy are overused?

Zhang Qi frowned.

"You don't want to drink with me?"

Luo Xiaoxiao did not compromise.

"I really can't drink, I'm sorry."

Apart from saying sorry, she didn't know what to do.

You can't ignore the baby in your belly just to save Zhang Qi's face, right?

She kept in mind the doctor's advice not to drink alcohol during pregnancy.

In fact, even if she wasn't pregnant, she didn't like drinking, and she especially disliked the drinking culture of persuading others to drink.

If it had been in her previous life, if someone had urged her to drink, she would have turned her face rudely or refused outright.

She has never understood why so many people love to drink, since they get a headache every time they drink and alcohol doesn't taste good at all.

She never liked drinking anyway.

In this life, she has become more tactful and is willing to find some harmless excuses.

Although her excuse was cliché and hard to be convincing, it still gave both parties a way out.

Unfortunately, Zhang Qi doesn't seem to know when to stop.

"I'm not a bad person. I won't put anything in your wine, nor will I get you drunk. Just drink this one glass with me."

"During this time when you were in the crew, I took good care of you and taught you how to act every day. Your acting skills improved so quickly, and it was also my contribution. You wouldn't even give me this little bit of face, right?"

"You are good-looking and willing to work hard on your acting skills. I admire you very much. You will definitely become famous in the future."

"After drinking this glass of wine, we will still be friends."

"Or do you simply disdain to be friends with people like us who have been acting for so many years and still have tepid success?"

Luo Xiaoxiao was already a little annoyed.

This person is deliberately adding fuel to the fire, trying to use everyone to put pressure on her!

If he really wanted to make friends, she naturally wouldn't mind having one more friend.

But his behavior made her extremely disgusted.

Luo Xiaoxiao took a deep breath and suppressed the discomfort in her heart.

"Brother Zhang, I'm a newcomer with no background and I don't understand a lot of things. Thank you for your advice when I was on the crew. It helped me make fewer mistakes and cause less trouble to everyone. I'm very grateful to you."

"If there is an opportunity in the future, we can definitely quit our jobs and work together again."

"As for this wine, I am indeed allergic to alcohol. I will die if I drink it."

"I'm still young and don't want to die yet, and I don't want Brother Zhang to bear the responsibility of a life."

"So, Brother Zhang, don't force me to drink."

Zhang Qi's face turned pale and blue, and he was obviously angered by Luo Xiaoxiao's deliberately exaggerated words.

But she spoke so beautifully that he couldn't even get angry.

At this moment, the door of the box was pushed open.

A tall figure walked in and went straight to Luo Xiaoxiao.

The actress sitting next to Luo Xiaoxiao was stunned for a moment, then tactfully gave up her seat to the man.

Pei Yuan sat down next to Luo Xiaoxiao, his eyes fixed on Zhang Qi, who was standing beside Luo Xiaoxiao with a glass of wine in his hand.

"You dare to force my person to drink?"

Zhang Qi was stunned for a moment, and his inquiring eyes moved between Luo Xiaoxiao and Pei Yuan.

"Mr. Pei, I...I just want to have a friendly exchange with Xiao Xiao, nothing else."

Pei Yuan chuckled with an ambiguous tone.

"Since you like to interact with people in a friendly way, why don't you stop acting and interact with people in a friendly way every day."

Zhang Qi's face turned pale instantly.

He knew that Luo Xiaoxiao and Pei Yuan knew each other, but he never thought that Luo Xiaoxiao and Pei Yuan had that kind of relationship!

Some time ago, Luo Xiaoxiao behaved intimately with another man on the crew and showed their affection openly, and he thought that man was Luo Xiaoxiao's boyfriend.

Now it seems……

Could it be that Luo Xiaoxiao is trying to play both sides?

Zhang Qi actually had a crush on Luo Xiaoxiao at the beginning. If that man hadn't appeared later, he would have wanted to confess to Luo Xiaoxiao.

Now I realize that I have misjudged him!

The more beautiful a woman is, the more fickle she is!

Perhaps out of revenge, or perhaps because Zhang Qi was worried that Pei Yuan would really stand up for Luo Xiaoxiao, he told her about the man's existence.

"Mr. Pei, you don't know yet?"

"Luo Xiaoxiao has a boyfriend. He stayed on the set for three days some time ago. Almost everyone on the set knows that they are a couple."

After these words were spoken, the people in the crew had different expressions.

Pei Yuan smiled, and his eyes turned colder as he looked at Zhang Qi.

"Xiao Xiao is my friend and an artist in my company. Do you think I don't know that she has a boyfriend?"

Zhang Qi's face suddenly became colorful.

Only then did he realize that he had applied the wrong eye drops.

Perhaps, Pei Yuan and Luo Xiaoxiao were just friends, but his words "my people" were too misleading!

Luo Xiaoxiao suddenly said, "Today is the wrap-up banquet, everyone should be happy. Let's eat first and don't hurt the harmony."

I don't know when she started to learn some superficial skills.

No matter how disgusted you are inside, at least you have to save face.

Pei Yuan crossed his legs and played with his lighter in a nonchalant manner.

The sound of the door opening and closing struck the hearts of everyone present, and made everyone in the box quiet down for no reason.

"I hate people who take advantage of their seniority and have been in the industry longer, and who don't respect women and force them to drink."

"Xiaoxiao, watch out, there will no longer be people like Zhang Qi in the circle."

He decided to ban a person lightly, but no one present doubted whether he could do it.

There is no doubt that banning a little-known actor is easy for the young master of the Pei family.

Luo Xiaoxiao's mouth twitched.

She made so many enemies in her previous life. Besides the fact that she had a bad temper and was straightforward, which made many people dislike her, there was another reason. Pei Yuan never hesitated to deal with people she disliked.

These people lay dormant, and when she lost power, they rushed forward and attacked her in a group with enormous power.

She couldn't help but glare at Pei Yuan.

Pei Yuan was not angry when she glared at him with her watery eyes, he just felt innocent and wronged.

"I'm helping you vent your anger, why are you glaring at me?"

Luo Xiaoxiao was speechless, "Brother Zhang was just joking with me, I didn't take it seriously, why did you take it seriously?"

"It's not easy for anyone, why do you make it difficult for him?"

"Besides, you said he was taking advantage of his age, but you are taking advantage of your wealth to do whatever you want, right?"

When the others heard Luo Xiaoxiao's words, they took a deep breath.

Pei Shao was clearly trying to help her vent her anger, but instead she blamed him.

Anyone else would have been angry a long time ago.

Pei Yuan just curled his lips and snorted at Zhang Qi.

"Xiao Xiao is kindhearted and didn't want me to punish you. You are lucky this time, so I will let you go."

"Don't let me see you urging others to drink, especially women."

"Otherwise, I'll punish you every time I see you!"

Luo Xiaoxiao originally just didn't want to offend anyone, and she also knew that the other people in the crew had a good relationship with Zhang Qi. If Zhang Qi was really banned, the others would inevitably be affected, and she would have offended everyone in the crew at once.

Even if they don't hate her from now on, they will definitely distance themselves from her.

There was no need for her to make so many enemies just because of Zhang Qi.

Only now did he realize that Pei Yuan didn't seem to have intended to really ban Zhang Qi from the beginning. The reason why he spoke harshly in front of so many people was just to make himself the good guy.

According to Pei Yuan's personality, if he really wanted to ban Zhang Qi, he would have called his elder brother directly and would not have wasted his breath on Zhang Qi.
