Chapter 158: I Can Help Her Drink as Much as You Want
After everyone regained their senses, they immediately started whispering.
“Who is he?”
“This person is wearing a mask too?”
“Could it be another powerful player?”
“Today’s banquet is only for the top ten experts and our ten teams. What is this person here for?”
“Didn’t he say that he wanted to help [Bai Ling] drink?”
“Could he be related to [Bai Ling]?”
…
Li Yan had already walked up to Chu Luo and was looking at her coldly.
[Linebarrel] retracted his gaze and asked politely, “Who might this gentleman be?”
Li Yan tilted his head and glanced at him with his cold eyes before looking away. He had no intention of answering.
The atmosphere instantly became a little awkward.
Many people thought:?‘Who is this person? He’s too arrogant! He doesn’t even answer [Linebarrel]’s question.’
A glint flickered across [Linebarrel]’s eyes. He smiled and looked at Chu Luo.
Chu Luo looked up at Li Yan and frowned slightly. “I don’t need anyone to help me drink.”
She then asked the waiter to refill the wine for her.
However, Li Yan grabbed her wrist.
Li Yan leaned in and whispered into her ear, his tone thick with threat, “You’re not allowed to drink. If you want to drink, go drink at my place. Otherwise…”
“What do you want?” Chu Luo glared at him, displeased.
“I’ll publicize our relationship.”
Chu Luo’s eyes burned with anger. “How dare you!”
Li Yan watched her reaction and pursed his lips tightly. A trace of anxiousness flashed across his heart.
This made his aura even colder.
He took the glass from her hand and asked the waiter to fill it up. Then, he said to everyone, “I’ll help her drink as much as you want.”
[Linebarrel] looked at the two of them with a complicated expression. They were so close just now. What was their relationship?
However, he didn’t show it on his face. He raised his glass and said with a smile, “This gentleman is good at drinking. Today, [Bai Ling] and her team won first place. We should have a good drink to celebrate. As she’s a girl, it’s better if someone can drink on behalf of [Bai Ling]. Come, let me toast you first.”
He raised his glass and made a toast to Li Yan before downing it.
Li Yan didn’t say anything and similarly downed his wine.
The service staff immediately refilled their glasses.
[Linebarrel] then said, “I’ve PKed with [Bai Ling] before, and I admire her handling. This is my toast to [Bai Ling]. Please.”
The two of them drank it at the same time.
[Linebarrel] toasting Li Yan was like a signal. The others started to take turns to toast. They didn’t say they were toasting to Li Yan but toasted to [Bai Ling] instead.
Li Yan was ruthless enough to accept all the toasts and drank it all.
“Junior, Brother Chu will definitely get drunk if he continues drinking like this. Say something.” The four boys standing behind Chu Luo were a little anxious.
Chu Luo looked at Li Yan, who was drinking glass after glass, and pursed her lips tightly.
Xie Minghai said, “These people are obviously after Brother Chu. Red wine is strong to begin with. How can Brother Chu drink like this?”
Yu Lei: “This means that Brother Chu is good to Junior and can’t bear to let her drink.”
Chu Luo glanced at the four of them before shifting her gaze to Li Yan.
At this moment, Li Yan was holding a glass of wine and drinking it with his head slightly tilted up. His Adam’s apple bobbed as he swallowed. Due to the mask on, his already cold and hard face had a metallic feel to it.
He looked wild and sexy like this.
It was impossible to look away.
Li Yan seemed to have sensed her gaze and suddenly turned to look at her.
Their eyes met, and Chu Luo realized that the ends of his eyes were slightly red.
He was obviously drunk.
Before Chu Luo realized what she had done, she had already walked up to him and snatched the glass of wine that he had just had filled.
She said to everyone, “We’ll leave first.”
After saying that, she held his hand and strode towards the door.
She didn’t notice that as she pulled Li Yan out, a glint flashed across his eyes.
Then, he turned to glance at [Linebarrel]. This glance was filled with killing intent. Those who saw it felt a chill down their spines.
[Linebarrel] looked at the two of them walking away and looked down at the wine in the glass in his hand. After a few seconds, he suddenly curled his lips and muttered in a voice only he could hear, “How interesting… What if that makes me even more interested in her?”
Chu Luo pulled Li Yan along and quickly walked out of the hall. After getting into the elevator, she pushed him against the wall in dissatisfaction and scolded softly, “Who asked you to help me drink?”
Li Yan looked down at the beautiful face inches away from him and said in a slightly hoarse voice, “Isn’t it only right for a husband to help his wife drink?”
When she heard this, Chu Luo instantly raised her voice. “We’re not husband and wife! I’ll change our relationship when we get back.”
“Mm.” Li Yan actually didn’t object and only said, “At least for now, we are.”
Chu Luo stopped talking.
When he saw her like this, Li Yan’s lips curled up slightly.
He tilted his head to look at her hand and raised his hand to bring her hand down.
Chu Luo retracted hers when she saw him raise his hand.
At this moment, the elevator stopped halfway. As the elevator door slowly opened, they heard a conversation between two people.
“I wonder if the reporters and gaming fans downstairs have left.”
“I didn’t expect [Bai Ling] to really be a woman. I really want to take off her mask and see what she looks like.”
The elevator door opened.
The two of them looked up and met Chu Luo and Li Yan’s equally cold and sharp eyes. They were immediately suppressed where they stood.
Li Yan glanced at them coldly and reached out to close the elevator door.
When the elevator continued to descend, those two people came back to their senses.
The two of them looked at each other.
“Was that [Bai Ling]?”
“It must be.”
After saying this, the two of them instantly became excited and reached out to press the elevator button.
“They’re going down. Let’s take the stairs.”
“That’s right. We have this chance to meet [Bai Ling], so it’ll be good if we could talk to her.”
As they spoke, they rushed into the protected stairway.
After the elevator door closed, Li Yan pressed the next floor button.
Chu Luo looked up at him.
Li Yan’s expression darkened. “Go change before going downstairs.”
Chu Luo thought of the reporters asking questions that she didn’t like and nodded.
The elevator reached the next floor. Before the elevator doors opened, Li Yan lifted his hand to remove Chu Luo’s mask. At the same time, he quickly took off his coat and covered her with it.
The elevator door opened and they walked out.
This floor was also a banquet hall, but there was no one there.
The two of them quickly walked into the lounge beside the banquet hall.
Li Yan took out his Bluetooth earpiece from his pocket and put it on his ear. He said to the person on the other end, “Get someone to send her a set of clothes to the 15th floor.”
With that, he took off his earpiece.
The two of them stood there and waited. Chu Luo opened her mouth as she watched Li Yan hold her mask in his hand.
At this moment, Li Yan’s body swayed.
“Eh? What’s wrong?”
Chu Luo was startled.
Li Yan raised his hand to massage his temple and said to her in a slightly hoarse voice, “I might be drunk.”
Chu Luo was silent for two seconds before she snorted and looked away. “Who asked you to drink so much?”
Li Yan stopped talking and walked to the sofa to sit.
Chu Luo thought for a while and searched in her Heaven-and-Earth pouch for a while, but she didn’t find any medicine that could sober him up. She said, “I’ll concoct some hangover medicine for you later.”
Li Yan leaned back in his chair. The suit jacket he was wearing today had been draped over Chu Luo, leaving him with only his black shirt.
He exuded a dangerous aura.
However, Chu Luo wasn’t scared by his dangerous aura. Seeing his eyes close slightly, she suddenly realized that the green color around his eyes was obviously a sign of sleep deprivation. She thought for a while, took off her suit jacket, moved over, and kicked his leg lightly.
Li Yan didn’t even look up.
“Hey, don’t tell me you’re just going to sleep here?”
Li Yan still didn’t answer her.
Chu Luo moved a little closer to him and poked his arm with a finger. “Li Yan.”
Li Yan still didn’t open his eyes.
Chu Luo wrinkled her nose and covered him with the coat. She muttered, “Aren’t you very vigilant? Be careful that your enemies don’t come looking for you later.”
After saying that, she walked to the side and sat down, waiting for someone to deliver the clothes.
While she waited, she took out her phone.
Tang Zhiyun had called and sent her a message. Chu Luo clicked on the message and took a look.
Tang Zhiyun: “Junior, have you gone back? Brother Chu has drunk so much wine. Don’t let him drive. It’s not safe.”
Chu Luo replied, “Okay.”
Tang Zhiyun sent another message: “Junior, are there many reporters and gaming fans downstairs? Have you left the hotel?”
Chu Luo: “No. We’re on one of the floors waiting for someone to send clothes over. I won’t be needing a mask then.”
Tang Zhiyun: “That’s good. Then let Brother Chu go back and rest well. Also, we will probably go back late tonight.”
Chu Luo: “Yeah, give me a call when you get back.”
Tang Zhiyun: “Okay.”
The two of them didn’t text again.
After she’d been waiting for almost ten minutes, footsteps came from outside the lounge, followed by a careful voice. “Hello? I’m a hotel staff who came up to deliver the clothes. Are you coming to get the clothes, or should I leave them here for you?”
Chu Luo sensed that this person was very weak and said, “Leave them there. I’ll take them.”
“Okay.” The person left not long after answering.
Chu Luo walked out to retrieve the clothes.
She walked to the toilet to change her clothes and walked with her uniform in the bag. To her surprise, Li Yan was already standing there waiting for her.
“Eh, you’re awake?”
Li Yan nodded and the two of them walked towards the elevator.
The elevator reached the underground parking lot.
As soon as they stepped out of the elevator, she saw a group of reporters and other people waiting there.
When everyone saw the two of them, they were first stunned by Chu Luo’s appearance before quickly retracting their eyes due to Li Yan’s cold gaze.
The two of them walked past them and walked towards a car.
Chu Luo suddenly thought of the message Tang Zhiyun had sent her and hurriedly said to Li Yan, who was about to open the door to the driver’s seat, “Wait, I’ll drive.”
