The Master and His Wealthy Fiancée

Wang Mengyu looked at Chen Dong with a strange expression.

"Why are you looking at me like that? I've saved you twice, for crying out loud. If you want to mess with someone, can you please pick another target?" Chen Dong said in a low voice.

Wang Mengyu's mouth hung open, speechless for a long moment.

'She really wanted to thank Chen Dong. If it weren't for him, her fate would have been absolutely tragic. But even more, she wanted to see him make a fool of himself so she could vent her frustration. That bastard left a gorgeous woman, hands and feet bound, alone with a pervert's corpse. There was definitely something wrong with him.'

This thought reignited her anger, and she glared at Chen Dong, grinding her teeth.

The food hadn't arrived yet, but the drinks and alcohol were served first. The liquor was this year's Feitian Moutai, costing over three thousand yuan a bottle. In a high-end hotel like Yunxuan, the price was even steeper, but this kind of gathering was always on the company's tab.

Wang Mengyu grabbed the bottle of baijiu and filled two disposable cups to the brim.

A cold glint flashed in her eyes. "Down this cup with me," she said to Chen Dong, "and I'll stop messing with you from now on!"

Chen Dong looked at Wang Mengyu suspiciously. "For real?"

"More real than real gold!" Wang Mengyu declared, picking up a cup and swearing on her word.

Chen Dong also picked up his cup and gently clinked it against Wang Mengyu's. "Thank you for your mercy, Sister Yu!" He raised the cup and started to drink.

Chen Dong was only halfway through his drink when his eyes widened in surprise. Wang Mengyu had already finished her entire cup of baijiu and set the cup, now bearing a lipstick print, back on the table.

Since the lady had downed hers, Chen Dong naturally couldn't fall behind. He gulped down the rest of his baijiu in one go.

Wang Mengyu was already pouring the second round.

'Chen Dong's hair stood on end. This posture, this aura... it felt like a fight to the death, a mutually assured destruction.'

After filling their cups for the second time, Wang Mengyu said sincerely, "At the last cosplay party, I heard from Huiran that you saved me then, too. I never had a proper chance to thank you. This drink is to express my gratitude to Brother Dong!"

Chen Dong's breath hitched. 'You're the 'bro' here, not me!' He quickly and politely replied, "We're all friends, no need to be so formal!"

"How can I not be formal when you saved my life? Come on, Brother Dong, bottoms up!" Wang Mengyu declared boldly, shoving a cup brimming with baijiu in front of him.

Chen Dong pleaded for mercy, "Sister Yu, let's just drop it! We're on the same team; there's no need for us to kill each other!"

Wang Mengyu shot him a disdainful look and said coldly, "If you won't even drink with me, how can we be on the same team?" Then, she added in a low, threatening voice, "If you don't drink, I'll tell Huiran you were peeking at my chest!"

With a long-suffering expression, Chen Dong sighed. "Sigh... Fine!"

And so, before any food had even been served, both of them had already downed two large cups of baijiu, leaving their tablemates completely stunned.

Xu Qing asked with concern, "Brother Dong, are you okay?"

Chen Dong chuckled. "It's just two small cups of baijiu. Of course I'm fine!"

Wang Mengyu chimed in with a smile, "Exactly, exactly! This is just the beginning!" She was already pouring the third round.

The disposable cups at the hotel were on the larger side, each holding over two liang. There wasn't enough liquor left in the bottle for two more cups.

Her face flushed, Wang Mengyu roared, "Waiter! Bring another case of this liquor over here!"

This scene caused the people at the surrounding tables to stare with disapproval.

Chen Dong tried to talk her down. "Sister Yu, there's no need to get wasted. I admit defeat, okay?" He was getting a little worried that she would drink herself sick at this rate.

A murderous glint appeared in Wang Mengyu's eyes. With nearly half a jin of baijiu in her stomach, she had lost all her inhibitions. She threatened coldly, "If you don't drink, I'm going to find Huiran. And I don't mind telling you, I was awake that morning!"

Chen Dong froze. Wang Mengyu was talking about the day she stayed over at the Li Family Manor. It wouldn't be a huge deal if Li Huiran found out, but he was afraid Wang Mengyu would add her own embellishments to the story.

'Anyway, I'll be here to watch over her. It's just drinking. Who's afraid of whom?'

Chen Dong decided to let loose, too. He was determined to drink this woman under the table today and see if she'd dare to bother him again in the future.

And so, they faced each other with cold stares. As soon as the new case of Moutai was brought over, they filled their cups.

Wang Mengyu said, "Once again, my thanks to Brother Dong for saving my life!"

Chen Dong gave a cold laugh. "You flatter me, Sister Yu. Let's drink!"

They each downed another cup of over two liang of baijiu in one go.

Chen Dong's competitive drinking spirit had been ignited. Without waiting for Wang Mengyu, he refilled his own cup.

"Impressive tolerance, Brother Dong!"

"You're the impressive one, Sister Yu! I'm still a step behind!"

"Let's continue!"

"Continue!"

Another cup went down. Their colleagues from the Li Group had stopped boasting and playing on their phones. Everyone had gathered around to watch the two of them battle it out with alcohol!

Some of the more mischievous ones had even started taking bets on who would pass out first.

Another cup was filled. Their eyes met, and it was as if a thousand words were being exchanged through the liquor. They raised their cups and drank.

"Drink!"

"Drink!"

"Drink!"

As the crowd around them cheered wildly, in just a short time, the two of them had polished off six bottles of baijiu—three bottles each—their spirits soaring higher with every drink.

Wang Mengyu's face was beet red. She swayed as she pointed at Chen Dong and laughed. "When it comes to drinking, you're way more fun than Huiran! That little brat always cheats!"

Chen Dong roared with laughter. "She does? When I get back, I'll be sure to teach her a lesson. How could she cheat when drinking with Sister Yu? Look, I'm not even using my True Qi right now. That would be unfair to you, Sister Yu!"

"Exactly, exactly! Sigh... You're a real one!"

"Drinking isn't my only strength. I have many other talents you just don't know about!"

The food finally arrived, and the two of them ordered another case of Moutai...
