As soon as the waiter left, Huo Zhexi took a sip of fine wine, his eyes full of satisfaction.

That brat!

Last time, she hit him on the head, causing him to go back and get scolded and grounded by his old man for two full days!

It’s so ironic that he ran into the perpetrator this evening. If he didn’t teach her a lesson, what was he doing in this circle?

In the suite, Su Wanwan’s eyes moved around and she made noises of appreciation. “As expected from the princess, she sure knows how to enjoy herself.”

No wonder they said they were coming to watch a movie.

The suite was half filled with sofas, while the other half was covered by a movie screen. With high-end audio equipment, this room was practically a private movie theater! The table was also filled with all sorts of food, drinks, and games…

The movie being played was called “Ex-Files 3”, a comedy romance.

Su Wanwan wasn’t interested in that kind of movie, so she reached for the wine on the table as soon as she sat down…

“No drinking!” Mo Weiyi grabbed her arm.

“Why?” Aren’t all the red and white wines on the table for her to drink?

“What if you get drunk? I can’t carry you!” Mo Weiyi stated subtly.

“How could I possibly get drunk?” Su Wanwan was confident and arrogant.

“No!” Mo Weiyi insisted. “Do you remember where I found you last time?”

“Wasn’t it the police station?”

Mo Weiyi widened her eyes. “Yes! It was the men’s restroom!”

Men’s restroom?

Su Wanwan was shocked, “Really?”

“If you don’t believe me, ask Xiaobai. You were sleeping on the floor of the men’s restroom. It was a good thing we were at the police station and there weren’t many people around at night. What if you were somewhere else? It would have been very dangerous. There are plenty of perverts nowadays. Xiaobai never lets me drink alone outside, girls need to know how to protect themselves when outside.”

Is she exaggerating and flaunting her relationship with Xiaobai?

Su Wanwan scoffed, “That was an exception, I was too angry then and didn’t realize I had too much to drink.”

“Even so, no.” Mo Weiyi rang the service bell. “Haven’t enough accidents happened because of drinking? Every time, you either get into a fight or cause trouble at the police station. Anyway, you can only drink juice tonight. I’ll have them remove all the alcohol and bring some food over.”

Despite Mo Weiyi’s soft look, she could be quite intimidating when serious.

Soon enough, the waiter came in and cleared the table of all the foreign liquor, red wine, and beer.

Su Wanwan watched and her heart ached.

The words “drinking” and “smoking” had extreme meanings for her.

She hated the smell of smoke but loved drinking, especially when she was tipsy. That sense of haziness was too thrilling, as if she could forget all her troubles. If she drank herself unconscious, it felt like a rebirth when she woke up…

“Little white bunny, little white bunny, with two little ears…”

Upon hearing the vulgar ringtone, Su Wanwan shivered.

Mo Weiyi pulled out her phone and her face changed immediately.

“It’s over, it’s Xiaobai.” She got up. “Wanwan, I need to go outside to take the call, or Xiaobai will definitely realize I’m not at home.”

For some reason, every time she tries to do something “naughty”, Xiao Yebai would know immediately. She wondered if he had a tracker installed on her.

Mo Weiyi hurriedly left while Su Wanwan continued to watch the movie, bored.

There was a knock at the door and a waiter came in.

“Hello, this is a complimentary drink from the club.” After saying that, he left the drink and walked out.

Su Wanwan blinked.

Really?

A complimentary drink?

It seemed to be a cocktail. Its blue liquid was topped with a fiery red layer, pretty and enticing.

Su Wanwan was tempted.

It was just a cocktail, and she could handle her alcohol just fine. Plus, Weiyi wasn’t around…

So she didn’t hesitate to pick up the drink. She took multiple sips and quickly finished it.

Mo Weiyi still hadn’t returned.

The movie slowly came to an end and the end song started playing.

Without a phone, Su Wanwan could only sit and wait.

Suddenly, the door to the suite was pushed open and a woman came in. “Sorry, I walked into the wrong room.”

The door was closed again.

Su Wanwan sat on the sofa, her vision gradually becoming blurry.

Walked into the wrong room?

She stood up, opened the door, and began walking down the hallway.

The club was massive, with many suites on each floor. There was a thick, dark carpet on the floor and dim yellow lights overhead.

Su Wanwan kept walking off track, oblivious to the person following her.

When she finally opened a door and walked into a room, Huo Zhexi smirked and started walking toward the room. About to touch the doorknob…

“Zhexi.”

Huo Zhexi

It took him a few seconds before he turned around and acted cool, “…big brother?”

Every time he saw Huo Jingshen, Huo Zhexi always had a guilty conscience.

He knew he was a coward, but he couldn’t help it. His big brother was a martial artist. Last time at the police station, he almost broke his hand…

Moreover, he was seven years older than him. By the time Zhexi was just beginning to understand things, Huo Jingshen had already gone abroad. Then, when he finally returned, he started working for Huo Yuan. Rumor had it he was ruthless, causing his uncles to suffer many losses.

Their grandfather highly valued this eldest grandson and their grandmother was very fond of him, but he was always serious and reserved. Even towards his elders, he was indifferent; towards others, he was distant. He was hard to read.

Huo Zhexi thought he was a man of great depth!

Although he was cursing internally, on the surface, he had to act respectful. He forced a smile on his face: “What a coincidence, big brother, are you also here for socializing?”

Huo Jingshen looked at him, his thin lips barely moving, “This room was reserved by Ji Jie.”

Ji Jie was the assistant assigned to Huo Jingshen by their grandfather to handle all his affairs at Huo Yuan.

Huo Zhexi’s smile froze on his face.

Damn, how awkward!

What a coincidence that this room was reserved by Huo Jingshen! This brat, she really knows how to pick rooms!

Inwardly, Huo Zhexi wanted to tear Su Wanwan into pieces!

“You’re looking for me?” Huo Jingshen asked again.

“No, not at all.” Huo Zhexi quickly denied.

If he was discovered that he had drugged a woman, Huo Jingshen might tattletale to their grandfather again.

Taking his hand off the doorknob, Huo Zhexi looked around dramatically, then slapped his forehead, “Oh no, I just realized I ran to the wrong floor. Hehe, big brother, you go ahead, I’ll leave first.”

After saying that, he turned and ran off..
