Huo Jinyao had just hung up the call with Su Qingsang when he met the teasing gazes of the group of people in the private room.

“Tsk. You’re indeed different after getting married.”

Tang Mohan put one hand on Huo Jinyao’s shoulder and poured him a glass of wine with the other. “You still have to report when you come out to play. It’s just that you two didn’t have a meal together, yet you guys have to be so clingy on the phone for so long. Jinyao, you’ve really opened my eyes.”

“Isn’t that so?” Cheng Xianyun also chimed in. “Look at your blushing face. Tsk, things really are different when you’re nourished by love.”

“Get lost.” Huo Jinyao smiled as he picked up the wine in front of him. “Are you jealous? Then get married too.”

“We’re not like you. We’re unwilling to give up a forest for a tree.”

“Be careful that there won’t be a forest or a tree when the time comes.”

Huo Jinyao’s words caused the others to jeer. Only Wan Xianyang looked rather dejected. “Brother Huo, why are you so lucky? Sister-in-law got together with you so easily. Tell me, why is it so hard to pursue sister-in-law’s friend?”

He was obviously talking about Shi Mengwan. He had traveled thousands of miles to chase her, and had even gone to France, but Shi Mengwan was unmoved.

“Brother, let me give you a piece of advice. Forget about Shi Mengwan. There are many good girls in Rong City. Don’t obsess over her.”

Huo Jinyao and Su Qingsang were together every day. Su Qingsang would video call Shi Mengwan from time to time.

He more or less knew that there was someone else in Shi Mengwan’s heart.

“Am I bad?” Wan Xianyang stood up as he spoke and made Schwarzenegger’s signature gesture. “Tell me, I have nice figure, a distinguished family background, and good looks. Which part of me isn’t good enough for her?”

Last month, he casually gambled on a few stones and earned tens of millions. He looked frivolous, but everyone in the industry knew that was only on the surface.

“It has nothing to do with whether you’re good enough or not,” Huo Jinyao advised him earnestly, “I heard from Qingsang that she has someone in her heart, so don’t even think about it.”

“What kind of person is he? Is he better than me?” Wan Xianyang wasn’t convinced. “Let him come out and compete against me one-on-one.”

“Forget it.” Li Junsheng, who had been silent all this time, spoke up. “Do you really like her? It’s all because of your sense of competitiveness. If she really agrees to let you pursue her, you might immediately lose interest.”

“Junsheng, that’s not very kind of you.”Wan Xianyang didn’t deny it. It was indeed very difficult to woo Shi Mengwan. “Who says that I won’t cherish her after I get her? Perhaps I would be even more interested in her beecause of the difficulty of the romantic pursuit?”

“Who would believe you?” Li Junsheng scolded with a smile. “But now that you mention it, I’m interested in knowing which woman our Young Master Wan is so smitten with.”

“Aren’t you in Lin City? You’ve probably met her before, haven’t you?”

“No.”

He was very busy, and he loved his plumage. He rarely went out to socialize. He had met Su Qingsang many times, but he had never met Su Qingsang’s friend.

“If you meet her, maybe you’ll like her too.”

“You’re overthinking things.” Huo Jinyao answered for Li Junsheng. “If you’re a playboy, then Junsheng is a cold robot. His only love is his future.”

Everyone in the room laughed. Who would say otherwise? Li Junsheng was already the mayor of a city at such a young age. His achievements in Lin City had been pretty good during the past year. He was probably going to move up the ladder after his next term.

“Women,” Li Junsheng smiled. He didn’t deny it. However, the incident with Huo Jinyao reminded him of something else.

Halfway through their round of drinks, the others ran over to join in the fun. Li Junsheng sat next to Huo Jinyao.

“Jinyao, you’ll find out about this sooner or later. I think your uncle’s family should have heard about it already, but I still want to let you know.”

“What?”

“I went to A City on a business trip last time. There’s a large-scale investment project there. Many local companies want to take it, but the plates are too big and they can’t do it. I think your company can give it a try.”

“A City?”

“Yes.” Li Junsheng explained the situation briefly. “According to preliminary estimates, the profit is more than one billion. What do you think? Are you going to do it? If you want to do it, I’ll get someone to send you the information later.”

“Yes.” Huo Jinyao picked up the wine and poured it for Li Junsheng and himself. “Thanks, bro.”

“The bidding is all internal. I have some connections with the mayor of A City, and I have a good relationship with your uncle. If you run it, this project will be a done deal.”

Huo Jinyao raised his glass and clinked it with Li Junsheng. “Thank you.”

“You’re welcome.”

The two of them had drunk enough. Huo Jinyao took a look at the time and was about to leave. This time, it was Li Junsheng’s turn to quit.

“Jinyao, that’s not very kind of you.” Li Junsheng asked someone to serve a few more bottles of wine. “Let’s not talk about the fact that it’s rare for me to come back and you’ve gotten the news, but you’re leaving already. You’ll reap the benefits soon, yet you’re leaving just like that?”

He raised his voice at the end of his sentence. Behind him, Tang Mohan, Cheng Xianyun, and the others immediately started to jeer and scoff.

“Brother Li.” Xu Changlong’s face was filled with disdain as he dissed him, “You don’t know Jinyao at all. Ever since they got married, it’s already bad enough that he never stays out overnight, but every time we have a gathering, he would leave after a short period of time and say that he had to go back to accompany his wife. Don’t you think it’s too much?”

“It’s too much.”

“Of course it’s too much. isn’t it obvious that they’re bullying us single people who don’t have wives? Do you think we should tolerate it?”

“No, “everyone answered in unison this time. Huo Jinyao had drunk quite a lot today. Upon hearing this, he felt helpless. “What do you guys want?”

“It’s simple.”

Wan Xianyang had an mischevious smile on his face. He clapped his hands and pushed the two bottles of XO and red wine in the middle of the table towards Huo Jinyao. “I’ll let you go after you finish these. Otherwise, you’ll have to stay until the end.”

“Are you crazy?” He would have to lie down here today if he drank all four bottles.

“Jinyao, if you’re a coward, don’t leave today,” he said with a provocative tone and a look of contempt.

Li Junsheng watched the lively scene with a faint smile on his face. He used to have Huo Jinyao as a friend in Lin City, so he could get together with him if he had nothing to do.

Ever since Huo Jinyao went back to Rong City, he became bored there all alone. It was rare for him to come back and enjoy a lively scene with them.

Huo Jinyao had already gone to get the car keys, so he had no choice but to sit down again.

However, he didn’t forget to send a message to Yang Wenchang to pick him up later.

When Huo Jinyao returned home, it was already midnight. Su Qingsang was half-asleep when she heard the sound of the door opening.

She quickly got up, casually put on a coat, and went outside. She took a few glances and saw that the living room was brightly lit.

Huo Jinyao was carried into the house by Yang Wenchang and another person she didn’t know.

Before she even got close, she smelled alcohol. Su Qingsang felt uncomfortable. “Why is he so drunk?”

“I don’t know.” Yang Wenchang had no idea that Huo Jinyao was drunk when he went to pick him up.

“Assistant Yang, do me a favor and send him inside.”

Yang Wenchang helped put Huo Jinyao on the bed. Su Qingsang felt even more uncomfortable when she smelled the alcohol.

However, Yang Wenchang was still there, so she forced herself not to lose her temper. “Assistant Yang, you’ve worked hard. You can go back first. I’m here.”

“Okay then. Mrs. Huo, take care. We’ll leave now.”

“Okay, thank you.”

After sending the two away, Su Qingsang closed the door again and returned to her room. Huo Jinyao was very drunk.

The person who was sleeping soundly just a moment ago was now reeking of alcohol. She went to look at Huo Jinyao and resisted the urge to beat him up.

What was this guy doing? He became so drunk after she didn’t go?

“Jinyao? Huo Jinyao?”

She called out a few words, but Huo Jinyao didn’t respond at all.

She helplessly went up and took off his shoes. Just as she was about to take off his clothes, Huo Jinyao suddenly opened his eyes.

He was so drunk that he lost his sense of direction, and he couldn’t see clearly who was in front of him.

“Drink. Who said I can’t drink anymore? Bring me the wine. I’ll drink it for you to see.”

“Drink, drink, drink. Drink until you die.”

It was rare for Su Qingsang to lose her temper. She slapped away Huo Jinyao’s outstretched hand, and there was a hint of worry on her face.

The voice sounded very familiar. Huo Jinyao stared at the person in front of him with his eyes wide open.

“Qingsang? W… wife.”

“Honey.” She reached out and wrapped her arms around Su Qingsang’s waist. Su Qingsang fell on Huo Jinyao’s body just like that.

As she got closer, she could smell the overwhelmingly suffocating reek of alcohol on his body. It was worse than the smell just now.

“Huo Jinyao, let go of me.” She wanted to throw up.

“Honey, honey. Come here, give me a kiss.”

Huo Jinyao was drunk. He looked up and was about to come over. The reek of alcohol was even stronger now.

Su Qingsang couldn’t stand it anymore, and she felt a wave of nausea. Without thinking, she pushed Huo Jinyao away and ran to the bathroom to throw up.

Before she could rinse her mouth, Huo Jinyao followed her in. He stumbled forward, and when he saw the sink, he leaned forward and vomited as well.

The pungent smell came again. Su Qingsang couldn’t take it anymore and vomited again.

It was as if the two of them were competing to see who would vomit the most. Huo Jinyao finished vomiting and looked at Su Qingsang, who was still vomiting, and laughed.

“Eh? Honey, you’re also… drunk?”

As he spoke, he tried his best to glare in Su Qingsang’s direction.

“Honey, you… didn’t you say you don’t drink?”

Drink your foot. His drunken words made Su Qingsang extremely angry. She managed to regain her composure with great difficulty, but only to see Huo Jinyao slip and fall to the ground. She was fuming with anger.

“Huo Jinyao, get up.”

She wanted to pull him up, but the man reeked of alcohol. Not only did he reek of alcohol, but he also smelled like vomit.

Su Qingsang was furious. She had been married to Huo Jinyao for more than a year, and it wasn’t like he never drinked, but he had never been this drunk before.

She couldn’t pull him up, and the smell of alcohol on his body made her even more upset. She was so angry that she didn’t want to bother with this guy anymore.

She glared at Huo Jinyao, who had sobered up a little, for a long time. She couldn’t bear to do that. She went forward to help him up and tried to make him stand up.

As soon as Su Qingsang got close to Huo Jinyao, she actually wanted to throw up again. The smell on this guy was too unpleasant. She wanted to throw up just from smelling it.

She resisted the urge to throw up. Half-pushing and half-pulling, she dragged Huo Jinyao into the bathtub. She turned on the water and started to turn it on without testing the temperature.

If it’s cold, it’s cold. He’ll just die of cold. Let’s see if he dares to get so drunk again next time.
