The system only arrives when you're old? Then let's create a super-rich family!

Inside the booths, the lighting was lazy and dim.

Qin Ziyang looked up and first met Liu Shaozhi's arrogant smile of certainty, then glanced at Wang Zhaoyue beside him, who was carefree and only had eyes for watching the show. He continued to groan inwardly.

This apology drink tonight is just going to go on and on.

He muttered something to himself, then stopped dawdling, picked up a glass of strong liquor that had just been served, tilted his head back, and downed it in one gulp, clean and decisive.

The cool liquor glides across the tip of the tongue, instantly giving way to a raging, fiery burning sensation that travels down the throat and into the stomach.

Qin Ziyang's gaze swept over the pastries and snacks on the table. His throat felt dry and hot, and he instinctively wanted to reach out and pick them up to swallow and suppress the effects of the alcohol.

But he stubbornly held back.

You can't lose your aura.

On the other side, Liu Shao watched as Qin Ziyang downed a cup, his body swayed slightly, his eyes became unfocused, and the corners of his mouth instantly turned up in a smile.

He slowly picked up his glass of strong liquor, tilted his head back and poured it down, his Adam's apple bobbing slightly, and the glass of strong liquor was empty in an instant.

After drinking the wine, Liu Shao remained calm and composed throughout, showing no signs of drunkenness or even a flush.

He looked up at Wang Zhaoyue, revealing what he thought was a handsome, wicked smile, his tone full of mockery and sarcasm.

"Miss, your friend's alcohol tolerance isn't very high. He's not going to pass out right here after just four drinks, is he?"

Faced with Liu Shao's deliberate attempt to flirt, Wang Zhaoyue didn't even bother to glance at him. All her attention was focused on Qin Ziyang, who was slightly tipsy beside her. A faint smile played in her eyes as she softly retorted:

"This is the fourth glass of strong liquor he's drunk. Don't underestimate him."

As she spoke, her bright eyes darted around mischievously, and she gently tugged at Qin Ziyang's arm, signaling him to speak.

Qin Ziyang understood perfectly.

This little girl is the type who loves to watch the drama unfold; she made fun of him from beginning to end, using Liu Shao as a tool to lighten the mood.

He was completely helpless. He clasped his hands together, adopted a submissive posture, and begged for mercy in a low, hoarse voice, slightly drunk.

"Grandma, I admit defeat. I'll punish myself with two more drinks to completely atone for my mistake."

"Please, you're so kind, don't hold it against me anymore, okay?"

The two flirted and interacted intimately, oblivious to everyone around them, which thoroughly enraged Liu Shao.

He thought he was the main character who would make a grand entrance, a powerful figure who would show off his presence and steal the beauty, but in the end, he was just a background figure for others' flirting and a tool for adding to the fun.

An unnamed rage surged up to his head in an instant.

"Snapped!"

Liu Shao suddenly raised his hand and slammed it on the table, the crisp sound particularly jarring in the quiet bar.

He casually grabbed a glass of the strongest, most potent Golden Twilight from the table, his face turning completely cold, his tone filled with sarcasm and disdain.

"Kid, you can't even handle a few drinks of fruity cocktails? Dragging your feet like a woman, what kind of man are you?"

His three henchmen immediately stepped forward and chimed in to his defense.

"He gets swayed after just one drink. Not only is his alcohol tolerance low, but he also lacks any backbone or manliness!"

"Beautiful lady, you really should open your eyes and take a look. How could this weak and frail guy be worthy of drinking and having fun with you?"

"Young Master Liu is dashing and debonair; your presence at the dinner table perfectly complements your elegant demeanor, beautiful lady!"

The crowd chimed in, each offering their own opinion, simultaneously belittling Qin Ziyang and praising Young Master Liu.

Qin Ziyang shook his heavy head forcefully, forcibly dispelling some of the overwhelming drunkenness, and his eyes instantly became much clearer.

Without another word, he picked up a glass of strong liquor from the table, paused slightly, took a deep breath, gritted his teeth, tilted his head back, and drank it all in one gulp.

Before Liu Shao could react, he flipped his wrist, quickly picked up the last cup, and drank it all without hesitation.

Two glasses of strong liquor went down my throat very quickly.

In an instant, a scalding hot stream burst forth from the esophagus, instantly spreading to every part of the body, causing blood to rush through the body and a feeling of intense heat to permeate the entire being.

Qin Ziyang's fair cheeks instantly flushed a deep crimson, turning red from his ears to his neck. His eyes were slightly tipsy, giving him a languid and charmingly broken aura.

Even in the dim and soft lighting, his profile appeared sharp and refined, and his drunken state did not make him look disheveled, but rather even more handsome and striking.

The exquisitely made-up female companion beside Liu Shao unconsciously fixed her gaze on Qin Ziyang's profile, a hint of amazement flashing in her eyes, and she was slightly lost in thought.

Even a woman from a rival family was attracted to him, which speaks volumes about Qin Ziyang's charm at that moment.

Qin Ziyang suppressed the rising effects of the alcohol, turned his head to look at Wang Zhaoyue beside him, his voice slightly hoarse and soft after drinking, and he unusually lowered his stance to gently persuade her.

"Zhaoyue, let's not drink it anymore. This stuff is too harmful to our health."

Perhaps emboldened by the alcohol, he subconsciously raised his hand and gently grasped her wrist, his tone carrying a tenderness that brooked no refusal: "Be good, okay?"

As soon as he finished speaking, the air fell silent for a second.

Qin Ziyang froze, his mind suddenly clearing up considerably.

broken!

How dare he tell this young lady to be obedient?

In his eyes, Wang Zhaoyue was arrogant and vengeful, and if she were lectured, she would probably continue to cause trouble.

Tonight's apology is likely to go on and on.

The expected angry scene did not occur.

Looking at his slightly flushed cheeks and his dreamy yet sincere eyes, Wang Zhaoyue suddenly smiled softly and nodded, saying:

"Okay, I won't drink anymore."

She could tell that Qin Ziyang's alcohol tolerance had reached its limit, and if he drank any more, he would become completely drunk and lose control.

As for the commanding "be obedient," she wasn't angry at all. Instead, a subtle strangeness swept through her heart. She simply took it as drunken nonsense and didn't take it to heart.

Qin Ziyang breathed a slight sigh of relief, then quickly shook his head again, forcibly mustering the last bit of energy, and turned to look at Liu Shao and his group, whose faces were ashen. His tone was cold and his attitude was upright.

"Leave now, and I can pretend nothing happened."

Upon hearing this, Liu Shao completely broke down.

He finally understood.

From the moment he approached her with his men to strike up a conversation, to his provocative drinking contest, Wang Zhaoyue never once gave him a proper look.

All her attention, all her emotions, all her jokes revolved around Qin Ziyang.

His self-perceived handsomeness and charisma were nothing but a joke in the eyes of the two men.

From beginning to end, he was just a tool for the two of them to flirt!

A wave of immense humiliation washed over him instantly; Liu Shao's face turned ashen, and he was filled with uncontrollable rage.

He clenched his fists tightly, stood up abruptly, and raised his hand to slam it on the table, ready to lash out in front of everyone.

But just as he raised his wrist, a large, rough hand covered in calluses suddenly reached out from behind and precisely grabbed his wrist.

Its force is violent, brutal, and inescapable!

Liu Shao's wrist was locked tightly, and all his strength was instantly drained. Even if he used all his strength, his arm could not move at all, and he could not even twitch it.

"Who?! Dares to interfere in my affairs?"
