Gently bite the jasmine

Duan Mingxuan was caught in a dilemma.

His girlfriend is on the right. If he were to push her out to kiss another man, he would lose face.

On the left is Lin Xi, who was even more unwilling.

Apart from Yu Lang and Mu Shuo, everyone present was egging them on.

Normally, Yu Lang would definitely join the chorus of cheers, but today the person is Lin Xi, so he doesn't dare.

Duan Mingxuan will beat him to death.

"Young Master Duan, why don't you choose one?"

"Mingxuan," Zhang Mo tugged at Duan Mingxuan's sleeve, "she's your girlfriend."

Duan Mingxuan frowned and broke free from Zhang Mo's coquettishness.

He inwardly resented Zhang Mo: Why did you suggest playing games?

Duan Mingxuan stood up and said with a smile, "How about this, I'll drink five cups in a row, and then we'll call it even, okay?"

"Young Master Duan, you're not being fair."

"Exactly, who hasn't drunk alcohol? It's just a game."

"It's only thirty seconds, we won't lose anything."

"What the hell are you talking about?" Duan Mingxuan cursed. "You think you can just kiss my girlfriend and sister like that?"

The group of people who had been making noise and jeers fell silent for a moment because of the power and influence of the Duan family.

The girl standing on the far side laughed and said, "Duan Shao and Momo are boyfriend and girlfriend, it's easy to choose, it's just a game."

Zhang Mo grabbed Duan Mingxuan's arm and came to his rescue, saying, "How about we change it to fries? Just bite it off from both sides and keep it within one centimeter, that's good enough. How about that? I'm all for it. Since you drew this card, how can I let you lose face?"

Liang Yutong was utterly speechless. What a top-tier, sarcastic, green tea bitch. Do all men fall for this?

Calling them "brother" or "husband" is enough to make them put their heads back in their pants.

Duan Mingxuan glanced at Lin Xi, who remained silent with her eyes downcast, not looking at him at all.

But it wouldn't be right to let Momo eat fries with other men either; that would be a slap in their own face.

Duan Mingxuan was caught in a dilemma.

Liang Yutong grabbed Lin Xi's arm, looking like she was ready to "kill anyone who dares to come near her."

Just as Mu Shuo was about to speak, Lin Xi spoke up: "Duan Mingxuan, let me see the card."

Duan Mingxuan handed her the card in a daze.

Lin Xi touched it, looked at it over and over, and said, "This card isn't here, so I won't do what it says."

Duan Mingxuan snatched the card and carefully compared it with the other cards, finding that the feel and weight were slightly different.

He asked Lin Xi excitedly, "How did you find out?"

Lin Xi: "Yu Lang just snatched your card; the flashing light on the back is different from the previous cards."

Yu Lang yelled, "Call the staff over here!"

Zhang Mo moved her lips, but didn't say anything.

The staff member came over quickly, but said, "This is not a game card from our club. Our cards have a hidden logo on the back, but the one you have doesn't."

Lin Xi's eyes revealed her understanding; she had already noticed the hidden logo on the back of the cards.

Yu Lang snatched Duan Mingxuan's card, but no mark was revealed despite changing the angle several times, which made her suspect that someone had tampered with it.

But she had no evidence, only saying that the backlighting was different.

Actually, both cards have a laser-coated back, so there's no difference between them.

Duan Mingxuan glared at him coldly: "Then tell me, how did I get this card?"

Lin Xi came to the staff's rescue: "Could it be that a guest brought them in?"

Staff member: "It's possible. For safety reasons, we check all the items we provide to our guests before they are delivered."

Lin Xi nodded: "Then please turn on the brightest light in the room and turn off the rest."

The staff responded immediately.

The bright white light was blinding, and everyone squinted reflexively.

Suddenly, one of Duan Mingxuan's cronies pulled a card from a gap in the sofa cushion: "What's this?"

Yu Lang took it and discovered that this was the real special card.

"Is there anything I don't understand?" Duan Mingxuan looked over there and asked, "Who changed them?"

The woman on the far right said slowly, "I am, I am..."

Duan Mingxuan didn't want to argue with a woman, so he calmly said, "Get lost, and don't let me see you again."

The man was so frightened that he grabbed his bag and ran away.

She was brought here by Zhang Mo; anyone with a discerning eye could see that.

However, Duan Mingxuan chose to let the matter rest, so others couldn't say anything more.

"Xiao Xi—"

Just as Duan Mingxuan was about to say something to coax her, Lin Xi gulped down a whole glass of strong liquor that Liang Yutong had been drinking.

"Ancestor, you've drunk the wrong thing." Liang Yutong couldn't stop her in time and quickly helped her up.

Lin Xi suddenly stood up: "You guys play, I'm going to the restroom."

There was a restroom in the private room, but she insisted on going outside.

Duan Mingxuan got up to help her, but she subtly avoided him.

Liang Yutong was worried, so she followed.

Duan Mingxuan stood there, stunned, since he couldn't even enter the women's restroom.

Lin Xi, reeking of alcohol, emerged from the private room, her eyes glistening with tears, and hid behind a thick decorative pillar.

The alcohol fumes kicked in her system, making her so dizzy she couldn't stand.

In the midst of the dizzying moment, a cold voice rang out behind her: "Lin Xi."

She subconsciously turned around and, through her glistening tears, saw Duan Yiheng in a suit and tie.

The air was thick with the smell of alcohol, and Lin Xi forgot to call out to anyone, standing there blankly.

Duan Yiheng walked up to her and asked softly, "Are you drunk?"

Lin Xi hummed in agreement, her eyes half-closed.

Without even glancing at his watch, Duan Yiheng said, "It's almost eleven o'clock, I'll take you home."

Not a question, but a statement.

Lin Xi didn't want to go back to that dizzying place where the dappled light divided the room into countless pieces.

She nodded dazedly, "Okay."

Liang Yutong, who followed, was also surprised to see Duan Yiheng. What was this big shot doing here?

Duan Yiheng turned around and said to her, "Could you please bring her bag over? I'll take her home."

Liang Yutong trusted him completely, and hurriedly said yes, then ran back to the private room to get her bag.

Duan Mingxuan was preoccupied with something Zhang Mo was talking about and didn't notice Liang Yutong returning to the private room.

Duan Yiheng took Lin Xi's Kelly and asked her, "Can you walk?"

Lin Xi demonstrated a serpentine route, and Duan Yiheng sighed softly, stepping forward to put his arm around her shoulder.

"Miss Liang, do you need a ride?"

Liang Yutong shook her head: "It's okay, my driver is downstairs."

Duan Yiheng nodded slightly and left with the drunk Lin Xi.

She clicked her tongue in disapproval: "Duan Yiheng seems much more reliable than Duan Mingxuan."

Liang Yutong returned to the private room. Duan Mingxuan noticed that no one was following her and asked, "Where's Xiaoxi?"

Liang Yutong slapped her forehead: "Sorry, I forgot to tell you, she went home."

Duan Mingxuan exploded: "You're letting her go home alone?"

Liang Yutong glared at him: "What are you yelling for? Your older brother is here."

"What did you say?" Duan Mingxuan stood up abruptly. "Xiao Xi left with him?"

Liang Yutong was startled by him and nodded blankly, "Yes."

"Hold."

Duan Mingxuan cursed under his breath, shook off Zhang Mo who was trying to stop him, and chased after her.

The people in the private room were confused, but Duan Mingxuan's face was really ugly. They looked at each other and the next second, they all ran out the door.
