Chapter 151: Two Women Compete in Drinking

At the dining table.

Wang Haoran, Liu Yunshuang, and Lin Xiaowei, who came to thank Wang Haoran, were having lunch.

After sneaking several glances, Lin Xiaowei suddenly noticed something off about Wang Haoran’s complexion.

“Mr. Wang, are you feeling unwell?”

“No, why do you ask?”

Wang Haoran was puzzled.

“Your face looks a bit pale…”

Hearing Lin Xiaowei’s words, Wang Haoran touched his face.

“Really… Maybe it’s because I stayed up working last night…”

Wang Haoran couldn’t exactly say that he spent the night beating up her childhood friend and his two subordinates!

Yesterday.

Through eavesdropping, he learned of Xiao Longchen’s plan for the night—

Xiao Longchen intended to go to the Wang family to extract information from Wang Haoran about the ghost-masked man and Zhu Que and Tan Lang’s whereabouts.

So, before they could act, Wang Haoran put on his mask and went to cause trouble for them.

Despite being outnumbered three to one, Wang Haoran still managed to pummel them.

After beating the three into submission, Wang Haoran considered finishing off Xiao Longchen’s two lackeys.

At that moment, Xiao Longchen’s protagonist halo activated.

The only one standing, Xiao Longchen seemed to gain a “last hope of the village” buff and unleashed his ultimate move, “Fatal Seven Kill Judgment!”

Wang Haoran got greedy.

Wanting to finish off the two Seven Kill Envoys lying behind Xiao Longchen, he didn’t activate his defensive skill, “Iron Fortress,” and instead used “Shadow Step.”

He thought he could dodge, but Xiao Longchen’s “Seven Kill Judgment” turned out to be a homing skill!

It wasn’t like this before during the fight!

And the power of the air sword seemed several times stronger!

Though Wang Haoran used his skill at the last moment, it was too late, and he still sustained significant injuries.

Though injured, the opponents fared worse.

Xuanwu and Po Jun were unconscious, and the only one standing, Xiao Longchen, was barely able to stand.

But Wang Haoran didn’t dare assume he had the upper hand. What if Xiao Longchen’s 3600 protagonist halo activated again?

So, he chose to retreat.

After returning, Wang Yuxiao, Zhou Yinyin, and Su Yan, who were at home, were worried.

To prove he was alright, Wang Haoran took on all three.

Like the previous fight, under Wang Haoran’s relentless attacks, two were down, leaving one struggling.

In the end, the only one remaining, Su Yan, left with a “You jerk, should’ve just not worried about you!” before they all were down.

Of course, none of this could be told to Lin Xiaowei.

He simply made up an excuse.

After hearing Wang Haoran’s explanation, Lin Xiaowei didn’t press further—

“Really, Mr. Wang, take care of your health…”

After saying this, Lin Xiaowei forced her gaze back to Liu Yunshuang and continued chatting with her.

Seeing this, Wang Haoran transformed into a proper gentleman, quietly watching Liu Yunshuang and Lin Xiaowei eat and chat.

For some reason, he felt Liu Yunshuang was acting strangely.

Usually cold and serious, she now seemed warm and enthusiastic.

“Sister Wei, do you want a drink?”

“Eh? A drink?”

“Yes, we don’t have classes this afternoon, you can rest at my place after drinking!”

“Well, alright then!”

After some polite refusals, Lin Xiaowei agreed.

She felt a bit excited.

If Yunshuang got drunk and slept, leaving just her and Wang Haoran…

Wait, no!

She wasn’t looking forward to any weird scenarios; she just didn’t want to ruin Yunshuang’s mood!

Panicked again, Lin Xiaowei didn’t notice Liu Yunshuang’s scrutinizing gaze.

“Let’s see if I can get you drunk and get some answers!”

With this thought, Liu Yunshuang brought out some high-proof wine.

Wang Haoran watched with confusion.

“Shuang’er, don’t get too drunk…”

“No worries, I’m happy today, I want to drink with Sister Wei!”

Liu Yunshuang waved her hand, instructing.

“Haoran, come pour for Sister Wei!”

“……”

“……”

Wang Haoran felt something strange!

But what was strange, he couldn’t pinpoint.

Lin Xiaowei was equally puzzled.

Why was Yunshuang so happy?

Inviting a senior to drink at home to celebrate usually happens after a promotion, why now?

Though it came quickly, it suited her.

“Mr. Wang, please.”

“……”

Seeing Lin Xiaowei holding her glass, looking at him with expectant eyes, Wang Haoran felt even stranger.

He felt that after they got drunk, he wouldn’t be able to do as he pleased, but would be the one being taken advantage of!

In the end, under Liu Yunshuang’s urging, Wang Haoran became the bartender.

Pouring one glass after another.

Drinking, Liu Yunshuang and Lin Xiaowei spoke perfunctorily, and whenever one’s glass was empty, Wang Haoran was told to refill.

Wang Haoran felt they were trying to get each other drunk.

Finally, after finishing the fourth bottle, Liu Yunshuang beside Wang Haoran couldn’t hold it anymore and collapsed drunkenly.

“Sister Wei, I can’t drink anymore…”

She laid down on the table to rest.

Seeing Liu Yunshuang collapse, Lin Xiaowei across from her suddenly got excited.

She immediately looked at Wang Haoran.

Her eyes were like a victor waiting for her prize.

Liquid courage.

Seeing Lin Xiaowei breathing heavily and moving closer, Wang Haoran, clueless about the situation, exclaimed—

“…Ms. Lin, what are you doing?!”
