Chapter 1258 - Moments of Relaxation (1/2)

“Thank you for your help,” Joseph said, flattered.

“You’re welcome. I hope that after you become the president, you can still remember the help we provided.”

“Of course!” Joseph reassured. “I will push for the UA to join the Earth Defense Alliance immediately, and withdraw the strategic bombers and missile systems deployed in Guam. Diplomacy through peace has always been my agenda. The era of diplomacy through power has passed. At the start of this term, the UA government will focus more on the future rather than focusing on something meaningless.”

When Jiang Chen heard Joseph’s words, he smiled pleasantly.

“Then I look forward to your first diplomatic visit after you’re elected.”

After some more small talk, Jiang Chen hung up.

In the next few months, B City Consortium would be responsible for the rest of the poker game. His opponent would be the billion-dollar real estate developer, backed by his “Twitter Empire”. It would not be easy for Joseph to win the battle, but with the support of the consortium, it should not be an issue.

After the call, Jiang Chen went to the kitchen, took a bottle of champagne out of the fridge, and went to the balcony in his pajamas.

It was deep in the night; the sea glowed under the pristine moonlight. The trees swayed in the nightly breeze and gave off a feeling of peace and tranquility surreal to the bustling world.

Feeling the sea breeze, Jiang Chen opened the bottle with his thumb and put the bottle close to his lips.

The cold liquid washed away a lot of the dryness in his chest.

“What are you looking at?”

Natasha walked to Jiang Chen, unscrewed the vodka bottle, and leaned against the railing as she downed a sip.

“Just getting some fresh air.” Jiang Chen laughed and glanced at the bottle in her hand, then he jokingly said, “Are you not afraid of damaging your head if you drink hard liquor all day long?”

“Is this hard liquor? For us, this is only a beverage.” Natasha’s lips turned into a beautiful curvature as she proudly raised her chest and glanced at the champagne in Jiang Chen’s hand, “You, on the other hand, only women drink that kind of ‘juice’. Isn’t that too boring?”

“Is it?”

Jiang Chen laughed and disregarded her “provocative” look. He cast his gaze on the distant horizon and pretended to sigh. “You don’t understand.”

“Don’t understand?” Natasha stopped the bottle in mid-air as she frowned in confusion, “Don’t understand what?”

“Drinking is a way of life,” Jiang Chen held the bottle in his hand and whispered, “Alcohol is like life, other than the spicy taste, there are other tastes also enjoyable…”

Natasha rolled her eyes as she listened to Jiang Chen’s narration.

“I find you are becoming more and more talented in acting.”

“Not at all.” With the bottle close to his mouth, Jiang Chen looked at the grinning Natasha and laughed, “Do you want to compete?”

As soon as Natasha heard the word compete, she suddenly looked at Jiang Chen with vigilance.

“Compete in what.”

She still remembered what happened last time.

“It’s better than…” His eyes turned slightly and stopped on the vodka in her hands. Then with a discreet grin, he said “Who is better at drinking? Drinking vodka.”

“Drinking vodka?” Natasha stared at Jiang Chen.

“Yes.” Jiang Chen smiled and nodded.

Natasha was suspicious about the idea.

She didn’t think she would ever lose in this competition.

But she had a hunch that this guy must have some ulterior motives.

The more she thought about it, the more she believed her hunch was right.

After knowing each other for so long, she discovered this guy always hid something in his sleeves!

“Afraid?” Jiang Chen raised an eyebrow as he continued to escalate the tension.

“How is that possible.” Natasha’s eyebrows suddenly rose and her eyes met Jiang Chen’s provocative gaze. Her beautiful eyes narrowed as she placed her arms on the railing and raised her chin slightly, she jokingly said, “Are you sure you want to drink vodka with me? Don’t blame me for destroying your stomach.”

Are you kidding me!
