"No... it’s nothing."

Yan Ling kept her head down, her mood seeming somewhat downcast.

The BMW was driving on the streets of Zhonghai, with Ye Luo and Yan Ling sitting inside, the atmosphere feeling somewhat heavy.

"Don’t you want to know about the situation between me and those people?"

Yan Ling was silent for a moment before she looked at Ye Luo and couldn’t help but speak.

"If you wanted to tell me, you would, and besides, I pretty much know already,"

Ye Luo’s lips revealed a slight smile.

"Huh? You know?"

Yan Ling looked at Ye Luo with some surprise.

"You had a fiance in Jinling before, and that middle-aged couple was your fiance’s older brother and sister-in-law. After your fiance’s death, you came to Zhonghai."

"As it turned out, they wanted to climb onto the coattails of that guy named Wu Yingxiong because he liked you. So they came to Zhonghai on purpose, invited you out, just to get you together with that guy, to take the opportunity to latch onto the Wu Family."

Ye Luo’s words left Yan Ling’s eyes filled with an astonished expression, as what he said was not much different from the truth.

"How did you find out?" Yan Ling couldn’t help but ask.

Ye Luo smiled. He had been standing outside the private room earlier, watching the situation inside, and naturally understood everything through the conversation between Ye Luo and the couple.

"Tian Ming and I have known each other since college, and we’ve been together for seven or eight years. He is the son of the Lu Family of Jinling, of noble status. His family has always opposed our relationship."

"In the end, Tian Ming still insisted on making me his fiancee, but just when we were about to get married, he passed away unexpectedly. Distraught, I left Jinling and came to Zhonghai to start this bar."

Yan Ling’s face was somber, her eyes filled with a mournful expression: "That couple was Tian Ming’s older brother and sister-in-law. They had always looked down on me, opposed to my relationship with Tian Ming. I never expected them, in order to curry favor with the Wu Family, to actually find me and want me to marry that Wu Yingxiong. They’re simply inhuman."

Towards the end, a look of intense anger flashed through Yan Ling’s eyes, her face marked by a deep scowl.

"Alright, it’s all in the past now. If they dare to harass you again, contact me immediately,"

Ye Luo said calmly.

"Ye Luo, that Wu Yingxiong is the next head of the Wu Family of Jinling, and Lu Tianguang is even the successor to the head of the Lu Family of Jinling. Having offended both of them, I fear they won’t let this go easily,"

Yan Ling looked at Ye Luo with a worried expression in her eyes.

Ye Luo’s lips curved into a smile, speaking with an indifferent air, "Don’t worry about me. If they want to do anything to me, I’ll let them know why the flowers are so red."

He had dealt with more than one or two rich second generations before. Those who had no real ability and relied solely on their family background posed no threat to him at all. In this world, after all, true power is what commands respect! Having a bit of family money doesn’t give anyone free rein to do whatever they desire.

"Let’s go to the bar,"

Yan Ling suddenly said to Ye Luo, her eyes flickering with a complex look.

"Okay."

Ye Luo nodded; he knew that due to today’s incident, Yan Ling was not in a good mood and needed to vent her feelings properly.

Driving his BMW, Ye Luo went straight to the Charm & Beauty Bar.

At this time, the Charm & Beauty Bar hadn’t officially opened, and only the staff were cleaning inside. They greeted Yan Ling respectfully as soon as she appeared.

Yan Ling led Ye Luo directly to the fifth floor of the Charm & Beauty Bar, into her private room.

"Come on, Ye Luo, drink with me. Let’s get drunk without returning."

As soon as Yan Ling entered the room, she took out several bottles of red wine and vodka from the liquor cabinet next to her, and two wine glasses, obviously planning to have a serious drinking session to let out all the frustration. As an ordinary woman, she could only resort to alcohol to ease her melancholy. If it had been Situ Luoyun, on the other hand, she would probably just call her subordinates and go straight to attack her enemies.

"Alright, let’s see how much Sister Yan can drink."

Ye Luo revealed a slight smile and began pouring the red wine.

"Cheers!"

Yan Ling raised her glass, clinked it with Ye Luo’s, and downed it in one go, showing a bold spirit. Very few women drank so fiercely, which indicated how upset she really was.

After several glasses of red wine, Yan Ling’s face gradually flushed, her delicate, fairy-like visage showing a tipsy blush, and she lay back on the couch. Drinking on an empty stomach like this could lead to getting drunk easily, even for those who usually had a good alcohol tolerance.

"Come on, Ye Luo, drink with me!"

Yan Ling held her red wine, and with sultry, silken eyes, she looked at Ye Luo, and once again gulped down a glass of wine, coughing a few times afterwards.

Ye Luo could see that Yan Ling was suppressing a lot inside her heart, which was why she wanted to drown her sorrows in alcohol, to forget all the worries.

"Come on, Sister Yan, cheers!"

Ye Luo didn’t try to advise against it; he sat on the couch with Yan Ling and drank. He matched her drink for drink, not holding back at all.

Fifteen minutes passed, and the coffee table was already covered with five or six empty bottles, including several that were highly alcoholic vodka. Ye Luo’s alcohol tolerance was very good, naturally with no real sign of drunkenness. After all, if he really did get drunk, he could use the True Energy inside him to dispel the alcohol, virtually being able to reach a state of never getting drunk.

However, it was different for Yan Ling. Although her alcohol tolerance had increased a lot in the past year since she had opened the bar, she was still a woman. Drinking so much all at once and with worries on her mind, she became drunk even more quickly.

Her enchanting face was suffused with a flush, like a ripe juicy peach, her slender, fair neck and delicate earlobes all tinged with red.

At this moment, Yan Ling seemed even more seductive, her eyes like rippling autumn water filled with endless allure, her gaze hazy, lips slightly open, making Ye Luo’s heart race.

"Let’s continue..."

Yan Ling murmured, still wanting to keep drinking from her glass.

"That’s enough, Sister Yan, you’re already drunk. Stop drinking."

Ye Luo quickly snatched the wine glass from Yan Ling’s hands to prevent her from drinking further.

"No... I want to drink, I’m not drunk."

Yan Ling said with a blurred gaze and a soft voice.

Ye Luo took her in his arms and lifted her up, then walked into the adjacent bedroom.
