With global currency devaluation, I'll wear these back and take my whole family flying!

"W-what?"

Mrs. Li was taken aback upon hearing this, and instinctively felt a sense of resistance: "I'm not going!"

Li Wanchang glared at him: "If you don't go, do you expect me to? Didn't you just say you'd do anything for your son?"

Without giving her a chance to argue, Li Wanchang wiped his mouth with a napkin and stood up, saying, "It's settled then. If you can't handle something this simple, I think Xiaozai should be sent abroad to save trouble."

Seeing that her husband was completely serious and didn't seem to be joking, Mrs. Li panicked: "Fine, I'll go!"

Li Wanchang snorted coldly, turned around and went upstairs. Only Mrs. Li was left sitting at the dining table, rubbing her forehead. She felt a terrible headache and was so exhausted that she had no appetite.

With her son in such a terrible condition, she, as his mother, hasn't had a good night's sleep in days.

A moment later, footsteps came from downstairs. Mrs. Li thought it was Li Wanchang, but when she looked up, she found it was her son.

Li Xiao was dressed neatly and had taken a shower. Although his complexion was still not good, he did not look as disheveled.

Mrs. Li quickly got up to greet him: "Xiaozai, where are you going?"

Li Xiao changed his shoes, picked up the sports car keys hanging to the side, and left without answering his mother's words.

Mrs. Li did not insist that her son stay, but watched his retreating figure and repeatedly instructed him, "Drive slowly and be careful!"

She was happy that her son, who hadn't left the house for several days, was finally going out. It didn't matter where he went; just getting out for a walk and clearing his head was good.

It's better than locking yourself in your room all the time.

The main thing is that she has secretly installed a GPS tracker on her son's sports car, and her phone can track the car's location in real time, so she is not worried about anything happening to her son.

Li Xiao drove to a quiet bar in a high-end club in the city center. It was still early, and there were no other customers in the bar. Li Xiao went straight to the bar and sat down, saying, "Give me two special drinks, double strength."

"Okay sir, please wait a moment."

Li Xiao sat on a high stool, his eyes fixed on a painting on the wall. The painting was nothing special, but he kept staring at it, trying to focus his attention on one thing.

He was in so much pain. These past few days, fragmented thoughts had been swirling in his mind, making him restless and unable to sort them out. All he could think about was Shen Ci's face.

He was going crazy; he needed to numb himself with alcohol, even if only for a moment.

He wanted to clear his mind and get drunk!

"Sir, please enjoy your two extra-strong special drinks."

The bartender pushed two glasses of liquor in front of Li Xiao, who casually picked one up and gulped it down in one go.

The concentrated alcohol flowed down his throat and into his body, giving Li Xiao a moment of relief.

He raised his second glass and drank it all in the same way.

The bartender looked at Li Xiao with surprise. He had seen many customers who tried to drown their sorrows in alcohol, and this kind of drinking usually indicated heartbreak.

He sighed silently, then heard Li Xiao say again, "Two tequila."

Mixed drinks are the easiest way to get drunk.

He drank one glass of mixed liquor after another, and soon his vision began to blur. But he still had his senses. The alcohol did not make him completely drunk; instead, it amplified his emotions.

Without warning, he started crying, his nose running as he cried, and he kept whispering Shen Ci's name.

He was even more upset, so upset he couldn't breathe.

Even the bartender couldn't stand it anymore. He mixed apple cider vinegar with warm water to help with hangovers and pushed it in front of Li Xiao, watching him drink it all in one gulp without noticing.

He was still drunk.

"Li Xiao? Li Xiao!"

In a daze, Li Xiao seemed to hear someone calling his name. The voice was sometimes far away and sometimes near. It seemed to be in the sky when it was far away and right next to his ear when it was near.

It sounds like Shen Ci's voice!

Lin Biqi looked at Li Xiao, who was almost unconscious, with a worried expression, and shook his shoulders forcefully, trying to wake him up.

Didn't your aunt say he'd been out for less than an hour? How could he be so drunk!

"Brother Li Xiao! Brother Li Xiao!"

Li Xiao, his eyes blurry with drunkenness, forced himself to lift his head. The face in front of him seemed to have countless shadows, stretching her features long. He saw dozens of eyes, dozens of noses and mouths.

"Ah Ci..."

He murmured to himself, squinting as he tried to focus on the countless faces in front of him, wanting to see Shen Ci's face clearly.

Lin Biqi didn't hear what he mumbled, but seeing that he reacted, she forcefully placed one of his hands on her frail shoulder, trying to help him up.

But Li Xiao, who is over 1.8 meters tall, was drunk, so how could she possibly bear his weight?

"Miss, do you need any help?" the bartender asked, seeing the situation.

Finally, Lin Biqi booked a luxury suite on the top floor of the club, and two club staff members helped Li Xiao up there.

After the waiter left, Lin Biqi walked to the bedside and sat down, raising her hand to gently stroke Li Xiao's cheek without any hesitation.

He was so handsome, with long eyelashes still damp, and he kept humming and murmuring.

Lin Biqi had never seen Li Xiao so vulnerable before. Her heart pounded. She pursed her lips, leaned down, and gently kissed Li Xiao's lips.

His lips were cool and soft, and his breath carried the rich aroma of wine, making her feel intoxicated and confused.

The next second, Lin Biqi deepened the kiss.

"Ah Ci..."

"Ah Ci..."

In his dazed state, Li Xiao sensed something was amiss, and subconsciously saw Shen Ci.

He felt a surge of heat in his body, and his hands instinctively responded, pulling the two of them to switch places.

Lin Biqi, her pretty face flushed and panting, looked at Li Xiao with watery eyes: "Brother Li Xiao..."

"Ah Ci..."

Li Xiao buried his head in conquering territory, his mind, consciousness, and heart filled with only one thought: he would never let Aci down again.

He needs to perform well this time!

The next day, Li Xiao slowly woke up with a splitting headache. The room was dark thanks to the blackout curtains. He felt his head was very heavy, as if it were filled with lead, and his stomach was churning. He felt terrible all over.

He reached out and touched the smart switch for the curtains. The curtains slowly opened to the sides, letting in sunlight that gently illuminated Lin Biqi's sleeping profile.

Only then did Li Xiao belatedly realize that there was another person lying on the bed, a woman with disheveled hair and exposed shoulders!

He was completely naked, and a flash of white light went through his mind, leaving him stunned and frozen on the bed.

The blinding sunlight woke Lin Biqi. She opened her sleepy eyes and met Li Xiao's cold gaze. Her drowsiness instantly dissipated.

Then she forced a smile and said in a sweet voice, "Brother Li Xiao, you're awake?"
