âCare to have a few drinks?â Rong Yan fiddled with the glass of alcohol in his hand, but did not drink it.
Mo Qiange grabbed the glass of wine on the table and said, âNo problem, of course.â
They clinked glasses and Rong Yan smirked while Mo Qiange put on a faint smile. The two of them seemed to be challenging each other.
After finishing the glass of wine, Rong Yan fiddled with the glass again and glanced at Luo Anning who was drinking to her heartâs content. He then slowly said, âCEO Mo, you shouldnât covet something that doesnât belong to you. Itâs better to put those thoughts away.â
Mo Qiange snickered and asked, âHow do I do that?â
Rong Yan retorted coldly, âCEO Mo, do you mean youâre intending to woo Anning?â
Mo Qiange sneered, âYoung Master Rong, are you intimidated? Anning doesnât love you at all. You two are only married in name. You know that better than anyone else. So, Young Master Rong, stop saying such hilarious things, lest I get mistaken and think that you and Anning have feelings for each other.â
âIntimidated? Thereâs nothing in this world that Iâm afraid of. Thatâs all I have to say. Iâve never liked having others covet the things I own. Otherwise, Iâll ruin her,â Rong Yan sneered.
Mo Qiange tightened his grip on his glass as the veins on his hand began to bulge. Is he threatening me?
Very good. Rong Yan really lives up to expectations. He knows what my Achillesâ heel is!
Seeing that Mo Qiange was trying his best to control his expression, Rong Yan nodded in satisfaction.
âCEO Mo, if you donât mind, I plan to take Anning on a beach vacation in a couple more days. I intend to take it as a chance to unwind and relax. I believe she hopes to have the companionship of you guys too since youâre her friends.â He emphasized on the word, âfriendsâ.
He was hinting that Mo Qiange and Luo Anning were just friends and nothing more.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
Mo Qiange smirked and thought to himself, does he think Iâm going to back off just like that?
Hah, Iâve never backed off before.
Itâs just a vacation to the beach, isnât it? Iâll go then. Whatâs the harm?
Not only am I going to tag along. Iâm going to take the chance to spend more time with Anning and treasure every moment I have with her. Since he wants to make me give up by pulling such a trick, I shall make life hard for him!
âNo problem. I happen to want to go out and get a breather too. Youâre really considerate, Young Master Rong. Besides, Anning values her friendship with us greatly. She wonât go unless we do.â
âThatâs great.â Rong Yan had a mysterious gaze in his eyes which made it hard for anyone to guess what he was thinking.
...
âDonât vie with me for the alcohol. Let me have it.â
Luo Anning had gotten high off drinking and her words began to become slurred too. However, she was still extremely stubborn and forcefully pushed the people away from her in a bid to grab the wine from the table.
âLuo Anning, stop drinking. Or else, do you dare believe that Iâll drown you in this wine barrel tonight!?!â Rong Yan suddenly barked.
He actually failed to stop her from drinking too much. This damned Tang Chao. Is he going to be as insensible as Luo Anning!?!
Tang Chao was seriously drunk too. However, he did not feel a tinge of guilt at all after discovering the blaming gaze in Rong Yanâs eyes. He even blamed Luo Anning. âItâs not my fault, itâs hers... she was the one who insisted on drinking. I was just playing along. If you must blame someone, blame your wife.â
Rong Yan kicked him and hollered, âWould she have fought you if you didnât provoke her!?!â
Tang Chao winced in pain and rubbed the painful spot which Rong Yan kicked. He retorted dauntlessly, âYou value your wife over your friends. Fine, fine, itâs my fault. Youâll definitely choose to abandon me over your pampered and fragile wife.â
