Return of the Antagonistic Lady Boss

Chapter 535: Chapter 509: Choosing the Wrong Friends

Zheng Xu’s hand was on the doorknob, hesitating to push the door open, just standing at the entrance to finish listening to the heart-piercing, jealousy-inducing display of affection inside.

The pair inside was truly inseparable, their harmony evident even in a simple singing session.

Chen Xiaoqian and Yu Minglang seemed very comfortable with lending their shoulders to each other, silently drawing energy whenever tired or weary.

”Did I come here to irritate Yu Laomao or to get irritated by them?” Zheng Xu muttered under his breath. There was no sound from inside, but he could guess what was happening without needing to see.

He originally came to tease Yu Minglang a bit but was instead force-fed a show of affection!

Zheng Xu’s revenge was simple and direct; he didn’t replace the drinks inside with inferior ones, and in fact, he brought an additional two crates of beer over, determined to drink Yu Laomao under the table.

Chen Xiaoqian initially planned to get Xiaoqiang drunk, but seeing Zheng Xu clearly aiming to outdrink her man, she wasn’t willing to help bully Xiaoqiang. So, she chose to silently drink along. Yu Minglang wanted to test how much his Mei could drink while also taking the opportunity to knock out the annoying lamp post, Zheng Xu, so the three of them started drinking freely.

All three were exceptionally good drinkers, each with their own agenda, drinking the liquor like water, filling the table with empty bottles.

Two crates of beer weren’t enough; they added another crate.

Mr. Zheng had a reputation for holding his liquor, but he hit a wall today.

Chen Xiaoqian’s face initially flushed red, but the more she drank, the paler and calmer she became. Yu Minglang, who initially could chat with Zheng Xu for a while, fell silent after two bottles of whiskey, his gaze deepening as if he had transformed into another person.

Zheng Xu’s stomach was churning from the alcohol, looking at the two across from him who remained unfazed, feeling endless sorrow in his heart.

Pointing at Chen Xiaoqian, ”You, you, you can really drink...”

Yu Minglang moved his hand away, his voice two tones cooler than usual, ”Don’t point at her.”

With that swipe from Yu Minglang, Zheng Xu felt like everything he just drank was about to come back up. Unable to hold it any longer, he stood up shakily, covering his mouth, and rushed to the restroom, realizing he couldn’t compete in drinking with these two nonhumans. He needed to vomit!

When only Chen Xiaoqian and Yu Minglang were left in the private room, Chen Xiaoqian, sitting firm as a rock, looked at Yu Minglang, who was expressionless, with big question marks in her heart.

What was going on?

In her past life, she remembered Xiaoqiang’s drinking capacity wasn’t this impressive...

Back then, she took him down with just a bottle of whiskey, and then...

But now—

Chen Xiaoqian scanned the empty bottles on the table, with Zheng Xu already knocked out, yet how was Xiaoqiang still standing?

Was it that in this life, Xiaoqiang’s physical condition was better? Was his drinking capacity improved too?

Chen Xiaoqian accidentally locked eyes with him, eyes so sharp, somewhat resembling his working demeanor, yet different, hotter as if about to consume her.

”Are you drunk?” Chen Xiaoqian tentatively asked, unable to determine Yu Minglang’s state. Only heaven knew if he was drunk.

”What do you think?” Post-drinking, Yu Minglang’s demeanor changed, appearing somewhat mischievous. He used his rough finger to caress her soft cheek, ”You’re quite a drinker.”

Chen Xiaoqian’s drinking was better than Zheng Xu’s, but she wasn’t the type to have no reaction at all; the alcohol left her slightly tipsy, though her mind remained clear.

She was acutely aware of her every action, yet still found her heart beating a little fast, unsure if it was the alcohol or Yu Minglang’s devilish influence.

”Your drinking ability isn’t bad either.”

Zheng Xu, having just finished vomiting, felt considerably sobered up. As he pushed open the door and saw how good the two were together, he immediately felt his stomach churning again, ugh!

Why do they have to torment a single dog like this, why!!

Poor Zheng Xu leaned against the door frame trying to sober up when he felt a giant force from behind. Yu Minglang and Chen Xiaoqian, as they exited, ”accidentally” bumped into an obstacle, and this obstacle’s name was Zheng Xu.

Zheng Xu’s prominent nose was harshly knocked against the wall, his vision filled with stars.

A waiter gingerly passed by, seeing the boss raise his head with a murderous look, scaring the waiter senseless.

”Xu...”

”Damn it, the two of you better not let me see you again!” Zheng Xu flipped the bird at the pair spreading jealousy.

The waiter pointed at him shakingly.

”What are you looking at?! Never seen a handsome guy?!” Zheng Xu snapped.

”Xu... You’re bleeding from your nose...”

Making bad friends! In Zheng Xu’s mind, a thousand alpacas galloped by, deciding that from now on, he must cut ties with Chen Xiaoqian, avoiding her on sight! No way to remain friends!

Some things were different from his past life, like how good Yu Minglang’s drinking was, and why he could still carry her and hail a cab home after drinking so much?

These remain unsolved mysteries.
