Looking at Su Wanying and Gu Siqing sitting on either side of Qin Xiao, Nie Beini felt a surge of anger rising within her, as if hot oil had been poured over it.
These two women, one naturally alluring and the other aloof and ethereal, were both "prey" that Nie Beini had her eye on, yet at this moment they were both like docile kittens circling around this man.
Although she wasn't fed directly, the occasional soft tissue handed over, or the subtle gesture of moving a delicate dish on the table slightly closer to his hand, felt like fine needles pricking Nie Beini's heart.
On what grounds?
According to rumors, Qin Xiao is a playboy who acts arrogantly and domineeringly because of his family background. Even if he has recently had some stroke of luck and is putting on a respectable act, he will never change his inherently bad nature.
Yes, it must be fake!
A sinister plan quickly took shape in Nie Beini's mind.
Once we get him drunk, let's see how he can maintain this hypocritical facade!
When he makes a fool of himself and his true colors are revealed, Yingying and this icy beauty will definitely throw him away in disgust.
And then... hehe, they're all heartbroken, so they'll all come to me for comfort, won't they?
With beauties on both sides, wouldn't that be wonderful?
Thinking of her triumph, a smug, cloying smile instantly spread across Nie Beini's face as she picked up the stemmed glass in front of her, which was filled with amber liquid.
"Mr. Qin."
Her voice was so sweet it could melt your heart, but her emerald eyes gleamed with undisguised cunning.
"What happened just now, although it was a misunderstanding, can be considered a case of 'no fight, no friendship'."
"To thank you for taking such good care of our Yingying, and to celebrate our first 'official' meeting today, you absolutely must drink this glass!"
She paused slightly, not giving Qin Xiao a chance to refuse, and directly turned her head to raise her chin at the waiter standing to the side.
"Waiter, bring us drinks! White, red, yellow, and foreign—a few bottles of everything!"
That air of bravado suggested that he was preparing for a fierce battle rather than offering a toast.
Qin Xiao paused slightly in mid-air, holding the teacup, a quick look of understanding flashing in his deep eyes.
This woman was just shouting threats and calling him a hooligan, but now she's trying to get him drunk.
What does that mean?
I'm afraid he's not being a complete scoundrel enough, so I want him to get drunk and do it again.
He calmly put down the celadon teacup in his hand, a perfectly timed, slightly apologetic, gentle smile on his face.
"Miss Nie, you're too kind."
"But I'm afraid it won't work today. I have some important things to take care of when I get back tonight, and I'm afraid drinking will interfere with those things."
Qin Xiao was thinking about the selection of a new factory manager for the battery plant, as well as the subsequent start-up arrangements; these all needed to be decided as soon as possible.
However, this perfectly normal excuse took on a completely different meaning when it reached the ears of Su Wanying and Gu Siqing, who were standing nearby.
Urgent matters to handle?
Almost simultaneously, the two women uncontrollably recalled the piles of daringly sexy lingerie they had each picked out in the Victoria's Secret store—a pile with pitifully little fabric.
There were no fewer than five or six pieces, each capable of igniting the most primal flame.
Their pretty faces flushed red at the same time, and even their delicate earlobes turned a light pink.
No wonder... Qin Xiao was in such a hurry!
Su Wanying glared at Qin Xiao reproachfully, her eyes sparkling with a captivating charm that seemed to overflow from the corners of her eyes.
Gu Siqing lowered her long eyelashes slightly, picked up the white porcelain teacup in front of her, and took a sip, trying to hide the barely perceptible shy smile at the corner of her mouth.
Nie Beini took in the reactions of the two beauties, and her suspicions were now firmly confirmed!
Look! Look! He really is a pervert with a head full of filthy thoughts!
Before anything even happened, they were already impatiently thinking about the "important things" for the evening!
She slammed her wine glass down heavily on the mahogany table with a "smack," causing the wine to slosh around and spill a few drops.
Nie Beini pointed her slender finger at Qin Xiao, her almond-shaped eyes wide open, and said angrily.
"no!"
You have to drink this today!
"What important business could you possibly have tonight? Don't you just want to go back and bully our Yingying and this older sister?"
The more she talked, the more she felt Qin Xiao was shameless, and the angrier she became. She turned her head and yelled at the waiter who was bowing and standing next to her.
"What are you waiting for? Hurry up and bring a few more cases of liquor! I'm going to see what this scoundrel is like when he's drunk tonight!"
Qin Xiao: "..."
His face was full of big question marks, and he looked completely bewildered.
How did I become a hooligan just because I was handling some work at night?
Has this woman's thought process been slammed in a door? Is her brain structure abnormal?
But he was genuinely a little uneasy.
Before he transmigrated, he was a financial geek who buried himself in data research. His alcohol tolerance was negligible, and he avoided all kinds of drinking parties for fear of embarrassing himself.
He had no idea how much alcohol the original owner of this body could drink. If he really could only drink one cup, then he would be incredibly embarrassed today.
No, we need to come up with a foolproof plan.
Qin Xiao's mind stirred slightly, and he urgently summoned the system in his mind.
"Yun Yiyi, it's an emergency! Extremely urgent! Do you have a system in your system shop that can quickly break down alcohol? I need it right now!"
[Ugh! Host, you're so annoying! You pervert... Hehehe, did I imitate that blonde with the big waves in my hair just now?]
Yun Yiyi's charming and teasing voice rang in Qin Xiao's mind. She deliberately exposed a small part of her skin and imitated Nie Beini's scream when she was caught in the changing room, but her tone was full of playfulness and not a trace of panic.
Qin Xiao's temple throbbed involuntarily. He opened the system inventory interface with his mind without expression and spoke coldly in his mind.
"If you don't want to dress properly, you can consider donating your limited-edition skin to a well-behaved system that needs it."
[Waaaaah! Host, no! I made a mistake! I'll refresh it for you right away!]
Yun Yiyi instantly became cowardly, her survival instincts surged, and the system interface immediately started spinning rapidly like a marquee.
Soon, three options, each flashing with a different light, clearly appeared before Qin Xiao's eyes.
Qin Xiao's gaze swept quickly across the options, swiftly locking onto one that radiated a dazzling golden light.
[System Name: Alcohol Metabolism Frenzy (Gold)]
[Effect: Your alcohol metabolism rate will temporarily increase by 1000% for the next 6 hours.]
[The trade-off: Your basal body temperature will rise slightly (about 1-2 degrees Celsius), and your body odor will be more easily emitted (extremely unfriendly to those with body odor or excessive body smell).]
A slight increase in body temperature? A change in body odor?
Qin Xiao subconsciously touched his chin.
A slight increase in body temperature shouldn't be a big problem. As for body odor... he believes he usually pays close attention to personal hygiene and doesn't have any particular body odor, so it should be fine.
"This is it!"
