"After that, when I discovered some secrets he had been hiding, I broke off our brotherhood." Li Zhong couldn't help but smile as he said this. He often reflected on this matter, and whenever he did, he would laugh. He laughed at his own ignorance, laughed at his own naivety. "Mmm-hmm, what were Fang Cheng's secrets?" "Li County, don't fall asleep! Finish what you were saying!" "Crap!" Xia Liu grabbed his hair in both hands, what on earth was going on. Just as the crucial words were about to be spoken, Li Zhong actually fell asleep with his head on the table!!! "Oh, Xia Liu, you're here." Just as Xia Liu was about to use his Spiritual Energy to wake Li Zhong, Xu Fang walked in through the door. "Yeah, Aunt Xu, did you just get back from shopping?" Xia Liu was already inwardly crying with laughter, and now someone showed up at this critical moment... "Yeah, yeah, since Qianqian is busy, she asked me to buy her clothes. She's so grown up, always busy with work, not thinking about getting a boyfriend and getting married. What are her dad and I going to do..." Xu Fang complained, her gaze stealing glances at Xia Liu from time to time. "Auntie, I think for such matters, as a young person, Qianqian must have her own thoughts..." Xia Liu didn't understand what Xu Fang's sidelong looks meant; was she hinting at something to him? "Ah... if Qianqian could find a young fellow like you, even if I died, I'd die happy." "Heh, Auntie, you must be hungry, right? I brought over some dishes from Longyun, just heat them up and try, I guarantee they're delicious." Xia Liu didn't know how to respond to that comment and could only divert attention. Xu Fang didn't continue on the topic, just went happily to reheat the food to eat. Xia Liu stayed at Li Zhong's home until six in the evening, realizing he wouldn't get any news about Fang Fei from Li Zhong today, he said goodbye to Aunt Xu and left. A big reason he didn't want to stay longer was Li Qianqian; if by some mischance she came back, he was bound to be bothered for a good while upon seeing her. The sky gradually darkened, and after coming out from Li Zhong's house, Xia Liu's mind kept echoing the contents of Huang Xue's phone call. As he was thinking, his phone rang. To his surprise, it was Huang Xue. "Hello, Manager Huang, what can I do for you?" Xia Liu answered the phone with a smile. "What's the matter? I've been slaving away at the hotel for you, and where are you? Shouldn't you be thanking me?" There was a trace of resentment in Huang Xue's voice; Xia Liu could tell she was really annoyed with him right now. "Manager Huang, please don't be angry, I've really been busy recently. Just wait a bit longer, and I will definitely make it up to you." "No need, I've booked a table at Longyun. I expect you to show up, or else I'll come to your place." Huang Xue's voice sounded very firm. If Xia Liu didn't come tonight, she would immediately head straight for Osmanthus Village! "You got me scared. I'll definitely be there within half an hour." After getting his reply, Huang Xue hung up the phone. "Huang Xue, I really want to see what you're up to!" Xia Liu murmured to himself while sitting in the car, a glint of vital energy flickering in his eyes. Had it not been for overhearing Huang Xue's phone conversation that morning, he might have completely let down his guard. Now! Humph! While he was aware in his mind, Xia Liu outwardly still acted as if he understood nothing. He was still as nonchalant and as carefree as ever. He drove around in the county town for a while, and then it took him over ten minutes to head to Longyun. Following Huang Xue's directions, he arrived at the most secluded private room on the fifth floor, from which he could gaze upon a unique nightscape through the window. When Xia Liu entered the room, Huang Xue was leaning against the window looking out. At the first sight of this fairy, Xia Liu froze in place. Simply because the beauty was too enchanting. At that moment, Huang Xue was wearing an evening gown that revealed her golden figure. She arrogantly leaned against the window, exuding an indescribable aura. Although Xia Liu only saw her profile, it was enough to intoxicate him since she was too beautiful. "Cough cough, Manager Huang, my apologies for being late," after taking a moment to observe, Xia Liu coughed twice to punctuate his apology. Hearing Xia Liu's voice, Huang Xue turned around leisurely, her face cold as ice, "Late by ten minutes, Boss Xia is really punctual, huh." Huang Xue couldn't help but recall the time Xia Liu cancelled a dozen dishes just to meet her and even ordered an expensive bottle of red wine in the end. Now, karma had finally caught up; she wanted to meet him, and yet she had to wait. " Hehe, sorry, as you know, there's just been too much going on in the village lately. To make it up to you, order whatever you want, I'll personally cook it for you." Continue reading on empire Xia Liu said with a chuckling smile. "No need to trouble yourself, I know you're busy. The reason I asked you here today is actually..." "That... I didn't mean to, I've really been busy lately, and I haven't had the chance to thank you. To apologize, how about I transfer one day's turnover from Longyun Hotel to your card, how's that?" "One day's turnover, you're not kidding, are you, Boss Xia?" Though her words were interrupted, Huang Xue was not angry. On the contrary, Xia Liu's offer shocked her. Like today, Longyun's turnover was at least three million, not counting the cost. "Hehe, I'm not kidding, I didn't say it was the turnover of the past few days..." "Pfft! You'd die if you didn't trick people, wouldn't you!" Huang Xue, angered to the point of almost losing her clothes. "Haha, it's just a joke. I just wanted to make Manager Huang happy," Xia Liu said, waving his hands dismissively. "Well, I'm happy now, so happy I want to tear you apart!" "Don't be like that, how about I punish myself with three bottles as an acknowledgement of my mistake?" Saying so, Xia Liu proceeded to open a few bottles of red wine on the table. "Sure, I'll watch you drink." Indeed, Huang Xue didn't urge him to drink; instead, she propped her chin with her jade hand and locked her alluring eyes tightly on Xia Liu. Huang Xue's brows grew tighter with time. In less than two minutes, Xia Liu had actually finished three bottles of red wine. "Oh no, I forgot, I get dizzy when I drink red wine. If I suddenly pass out later, Manager Huang, remember to call a waiter to help me to my room," Xia Liu said, gradually slumping onto the table and falling asleep. "No way, is this really happening?" Huang Xue had been watching Xia Liu, but he had simply passed out drunk. The program she'd prepared with so much effort was thus nipped in the bud. Her ultimate goal for this banquet was to get Xia Liu drunk and herself a bit tipsy along with him. Now, however, Xia Liu had simply collapsed drunk. But it didn't matter, Xia Liu getting drunk was only the first step! Huang Xue then poured herself several glasses of red wine, and after finishing them, her cheeks were flush with red. Next, she helped Xia Liu to lie down on the sofa in the private room. After locking the door, she approached the sofa, took off Xia Liu's jacket, Swallowed a few times, bit her teeth, and after a moment, she stood up with her back to Xia Liu, her trembling hands slowly raised, and the evening dress slid down to the floor...
