Chapter 443: After Drinking – Chapter 442 (First Update)_1

Just after sitting down for a moment, Guo Furong arrived, holding a bottle of XO brandy, and placed it on the table.

“This brandy is worth seven or eight thousand, Sister Furong, you’re quite generous,” Ye Xiong commented with a smile after looking at the bottle.

“You should just call me ‘sister;’ I like hearing you call me that,” Guo Furong giggled.

“That was just a stopgap earlier, don’t take it to heart?”

“You look down on me, think I, Guo Furong, am not worthy of being your sister?” Guo Furong’s face immediately turned stern.

“That’s not what I meant?”

...

“That is exactly what you meant.” Guo Furong looked at him and sighed, “It’s understandable, though. Someone young like you, with such great skills, definitely isn’t ordinary, so it’s normal to look down on an old woman like me.”

“Since you like it, then I’ll just call you that. Sister Furong, Sister Furong, Sister Furong,” Ye Xiong called out several times in succession before he stopped, smiling, “Now, are you satisfied?”

“You’re not even calling it sincerely.”

“How can I be sincere? We aren’t familiar with each other; you don’t know who I am, I don’t know where you come from. Isn’t it inappropriate to refer to each other as siblings just after meeting?”

“What’s inappropriate about it? This is fate,” Guo Furong laughed heartily again, her body shaking with laughter.

Ye Xiong had originally thought that someone who could open a bar like this would be a very reserved and demure woman. Guo Furong had seemed quite restrained at first, but now, it seemed a little different.

She had a charm that was irresistibly enticing, and Ye Xiong found himself somewhat tempted.

This woman really knew how to bewitch a man’s heart.

“Sister Furong, I didn’t expect you to be quite the conversationalist,” Ye Xiong said.

“I can’t help it. I really want to make friends with you and have a protector, so I can only be a little shameless,” Guo Furong’s gaze fell on them as she smiled, “I’ll sit for a bit; I won’t disturb you guys, will I?”

“What do you think?” Ye Xiong asked in return.

“Alright then, I hope you enjoy your conversation.”

Guo Furong clearly sensed that Ye Xiong wasn’t too keen, so she reluctantly stood up and left.

After she left, Yang Xiaoqiao said, “This owner, she always seems so mysterious.”

“Never mind her, come on, let’s have some brandy.”

Ye Xiong took the XO bottle, inspected the mouth, didn’t notice anything amiss, and then opened it.

His identity was too sensitive now, and he didn’t know how many people wanted him dead, so he had to be careful at every turn.

“Would you like some?” Ye Xiong asked.

“Sure, but let’s mix it with some juice. Otherwise, the alcohol content is too high for me to swallow,” Yang Xiaoqiao said.

Ye Xiong was secretly pleased. Between couples, drinking can easily stir emotions, and being five or six parts drunk made it easier to get closer.

Yang Xiaoqiao’s willingness to drink with him, did it mean that she was mentally prepared for tonight?

Ye Xiong, antsy with excitement called Guo Furong over to get some juice.

“Give me the liquor; I’ll mix it for you.”

“Just bring the juice over, I can mix it myself.”

“Afraid I’ll poison the drink?” Guo Furong raised her brows teasingly.

“If you poisoned me, it would be of no advantage to you. Wouldn’t you be afraid of the Cloud Guild coming after you? Besides, if you really wanted to poison me, just putting it in the juice would do, why bother taking the liquor away.”

After hearing your words, I feel so foolish.”

“People without… guile are just like that,” Ye Xiong hastily corrected himself, almost slipping up and saying “big-breasted brainless.”

Guo Furong, of course, caught on and left with a giggle. A moment later, she brought over some juice.

Ye Xiong mixed the liquor with the juice, sampled it with a soup spoon, then handed it to Yang Xiaoqiao.

“Try it, is it good?”

Yang Xiaoqiao took a sip through a straw, praised its deliciousness after tasting, and then quickly drank half the glass.

“Don’t rush, the aftereffect of this liquor is strong,” Ye Xiong urged.

It was already late, Yang Xiaoqiao had already drunk half a cup.

The effects of alcohol came on quickly, and within moments, her cheeks turned red, her body warmed, and that touch of flushed color made her look even more delicate, irresistibly charming, and seductive.

“Don’t you men always want us women to drink a bit more? What’s the saying, ‘If a woman isn’t drunk, how does a man stand a chance?'” Yang Xiaoqiao asked with a pair of fiery eyes looking at him.

Alcohol emboldens, and Yang Xiaoqiao, after having some drinks, noticeably became more daring, the most obvious sign being that she dared to meet Ye Xiong’s gaze.

“Then give me a bit more of a chance,” she said.

Ye Xiong raised his own cup, making a toasting gesture with her.

Yang Xiaoqiao tossed away her straw and clinked her cup against his, saying, “Bottoms up.”

Ye Xiong glanced at his own undiluted drink, then at Yang Xiaoqiao’s half cup, and felt that his deal was much worse by comparison.

“Aren’t you afraid that if I get drunk, I won’t be able to do anything tonight?” he asked with a smile.

“You couldn’t do anything in the first place,” Yang Xiaoqiao said.

“That’s really too bad!” Ye Xiong sighed.

The two chatted while drinking, and by around eleven o’clock, a bottle of foreign liquor had already been emptied.

Ye Xiong had consumed about two-thirds of it, while Yang Xiaoqiao had drunk about one third.

For Ye Xiong, this amount of alcohol was nothing, but for Yang Xiaoqiao, it was the most she had ever drunk in her life.

Her face was flushed, her eyes shimmered with beguiling fluidity, and even her breathing quickened.

“Let’s go back,” Ye Xiong said.

Yang Xiaoqiao nodded, stood up, and perhaps a bit dizzy, her body swayed.

Ye Xiong quickly supported her, asking, “Are you okay?”

Yang Xiaoqiao shook her head: “I’m fine, let’s go.”

Ye Xiong was still a bit concerned, so he stepped forward to support her body. Yang Xiaoqiao leaned on him, and the two headed for the stairs.

“How much is the bill?” Yang Xiaoqiao asked.

“It’s not worth much, consider it my treat to my little brother,” Guo Furong said.

“The bill must be settled. Tonight, I’m treating him,” Yang Xiaoqiao insisted.

“He has already paid for the foreign liquor, just give three hundred for the rest,” Guo Furong replied.

Yang Xiaoqiao took out three hundred yuan and placed it on the table, then leaned on Ye Xiong to walk downstairs.

Upon leaving the bar, the midnight breeze blew upon them, clearing Yang Xiaoqiao’s mind a bit.

“Get in the car, I’ll drive you,” Ye Xiong offered.

“I feel a bit nauseous, could you walk with me for a while before we go back?” Yang Xiaoqiao asked.

“No problem.”

Ye Xiong supported her and walked forward.

This was a newly developed property with a sparse population, and the streetlights were far apart and dim, flickering like life itself. The cool wind carried a chilly sensation; Yang Xiaoqiao, who was lightly dressed, couldn’t help but shrink a little.

Though her body felt cold, the inside was oddly fiery—this was the sensation after drinking foreign liquor.

“It’s a bit cold, shall we go back to the car?” Ye Xiong suggested.

Unfortunately, he hadn’t brought a coat, otherwise, he could have wrapped her in it. Seeing her shiver, Ye Xiong felt rather concerned.

“It’s not that cold,” Yang Xiaoqiao said.

Ye Xiong reached out and wrapped her in his arms to warm her with his body.

Yang Xiaoyi didn’t refuse, leaning into him, and the two continued walking forward.
