    Chapter 11: Cheated On for the 101st Time 11

    Lin Yizhou immediately applauded.

    "Ye Chen can really hold his liquor! Come sit down and let's chat!"

    After saying this, he quickly pulled Yan Bai to sit down, deliberately sitting not far from He Zixuan so he could easily overhear the three of them talking.

    "Yan Bai, come on, share your love story with us. We're all very curious.

    How did you and Ye Chen suddenly get together?

    We couldn't get a hold of either of you during the holiday break. Did you two sneak off somewhere for a honeymoon?"

    Yan Bai pulled Ye Chen to sit down as well, keeping him close.

    Ye Chen looked at him, and Yan Bai smiled back. His attitude toward Lin Yizhou's questions was lazy, like he couldn't be bothered to answer.

    Yue Xu's expression was still gentle.

    "Old classmate, I'm also very curious! Why don't you tell us?"

    "Don't learn to be as gossipy as paparazzi. Try being more human!"

    Both of their expressions stiffened slightly. Those words didn't sound friendly, no matter how you took them.

    But getting Yan Bai to drink was the main objective; everything else could be ignored for now. Pushing down his discomfort, Yue Xu kept up his gentle smile.

    "Fine, let's not talk about it. It's been so long since we last met. Let's have a drink to celebrate our reunion! We should hang out more from now on."

    After saying this, Yue Xu handed Yan Bai a glass of wine, placing it on the small table in front of him. His eyes shone with a strange excitement.

    Yan Bai raised an eyebrow, glanced at the wine in front of him, and gave a wicked smile.

    "Nine-Tails, has something been added to this wine?"

    Nine-Tails immediately spoke up.

    [Indeed, something 'good' has been added. Should I swap it out for you?]

    "Since these two brothers are thick as thieves, how can we favor one over the other? Let them share it amongst themselves!"

    Nine-Tails gave a sly chuckle.

    "Got it!"

    Yan Bai picked up his glass, clinked it with Yue Xu's, then brought Lin Yizhou into the toast. His words were loaded with meaning.

    "It really has been a long time. This glass of wine must be drunk, after all, it holds extraordinary significance!"

    Seeing he was included, Lin Yizhou didn't refuse. Both of them downed their drinks in one go.

    Yan Bai brought the glass to his lips but made as if to drink and hesitated.

    Lin Yizhou got a bit anxious and spoke with a smile.

    "This wine tastes quite good, Yan Bai. Give it a try."

    Yan Bai raised an eyebrow and took a light sniff of the wine.

    "Something feels off about the smell of this wine..."

    The two immediately tensed up. Lin Yizhou's fingers clenched so tightly his knuckles turned white, yet he still forced a calm smile.

    "I don't feel anything wrong with it! Yan Bai, you're overthinking again. Why would anyone want to hurt you? We drank it too, didn't we? Nothing happened."

    Yue Xu was also slightly nervous inside but still spoke with composure.

    "Yan Bai, this is a freshly opened bottle. I specifically picked the most expensive one they had. Such fine wine shouldn't go to waste!"

    Their palms were sweating, wishing they could just pour that glass of wine down Yan Bai's throat!

    Having seen enough of their hypocritical act, Yan Bai gave a light laugh and downed the wine in one gulp.

    After drinking, he smacked his lips as if savoring the taste.

    "The flavor really is a bit off. Feels like the grapes for this bottle were from an older vintage."

    Seeing him finish the entire glass, Lin Yizhou finally let out a sigh of relief.

    Yue Xu's face also lit up with delight, and his gaze toward Yan Bai held a predatory gleam.

    Meanwhile, He Zixuan had been staring at Ye Chen, who was sitting beside Yan Bai. Ye Chen, his hand on Yan Bai's waist, had been watching him intently.

    It was as if no matter how noisy the surroundings were, his eyes were fixed on only one person.

    Today, Ye Chen was just wearing a plain white shirt and a pair of faded jeans, yet it couldn't hide his handsome features.

    Despite his simple clothes in such an environment, he showed no trace of embarrassment.

    This calm confidence only made He Zixuan angrier. He suddenly spoke up.

    "Ye Chen, it seems you can hold your liquor. You dare to have a drinking contest with me?"

    Ye Chen looked over and raised an eyebrow.

    "Just drinking isn't very interesting. Any stakes?"

    He Zixuan gritted his teeth.

    "Whoever loses has to leave Yan Bai."

    "Do you think I'm a fool? Yan Bai was never on your side to begin with. You losing means nothing, since you never had him. And besides..."

    Ye Chen enunciated each word clearly and deliberately.

    "How could I ever use Yan Bai as a bet?"

    He Zixuan: "..."

    Damn it, feels like I lost this round again!

    Yan Bai curled his lips, liking what he saw.

    He Zixuan, humiliated and angry, snapped.

    "Whoever loses pays the bill for everyone here!"

    I don't believe for a second this pauper Ye Chen isn't scared!

    This KTV club is top-tier luxurious, with a dozen or so private rooms and two main halls. Combined, a night's spending here easily runs into the millions.

    Yan Bai wrapped an arm around Ye Chen's shoulder, looking every bit the dissolute second-generation heir.

    "Going up against him, I don't believe we can't strip him down to his underwear!

    Waiter, open a bottle of Port Ellen for every table in the house, and put it all on this room's tab. After all, someone will be footing the bill later!"

    He Zixuan frowned. A single bottle of Port Ellen cost at least a million yuan, and with at least several dozen bottles being sent out, the total would easily reach tens of millions of yuan...

    Was Yan Bai insane?

    Although He Zixuan could afford it, spending like this was utterly unnecessary.

    Yet the waiter had already eagerly agreed and scampered off gleefully, gone in a flash, impossible to recall.

    He was ecstatic. With today's drink commission, he could retire on the spot.

    Bless these idiot rich kids!

    The other wealthy heirs in the private room were also in an uproar. While spending tens of thousands, even a couple hundred thousand in a single night was normal for them, tens of millions was seriously over the top.

    Although Ye Chen didn't know how much Port Ellen cost, seeing everyone's reactions told him tonight's bet involved an astronomical sum.

    Ye Chen looked at Yan Bai.

    "You trust me so much? What if I lose?"

    Yan Bai blinked and whispered in his ear:

    "Don't worry about losing. I'm loaded. Just remember what you promised me—tonight, you'll be on the bottom..."

    Ye Chen paused, a faint smile curling his lips as he breathed warm air against Yan Bai's earlobe, his voice low enough for only the two of them to hear.

    "Bai, so eager to devour me? Have you been craving my body all along?"

    Yan Bai shot him a fierce glare.

    Ye Chen laughed and couldn't resist planting a kiss on his cheek.

    Their intimate interaction made He Zixuan see red and threw caution to the wind.

    "Open the bottles!"

    A troublemaker who loved drama opened an entire row of strong liquor.

    Eager assistants immediately brought over a line of glasses, pouring a row for each person.

    He Zixuan wasted no time, drinking elegantly but swiftly.

    Ye Chen remained calm and unhurried, saying to Yan Bai:

    "I won't lose."

    Yan Bai whispered in his ear:

    "Don't drink too fast. I need to accompany Lin Yizhou upstairs to stage a little drama. I'll be back soon to watch you dominate."

    Ye Chen blinked.

    "Come back quickly..."

    Yan Bai smiled.

    "Okay!" With that, he retreated to a corner to watch the two compete.
