Chapter 85 Just this once
Little did she know, a black Maybach car was following her all throughout that place.
Li Bingbing was planning to drink her heart out that night but she never expected Xia Sinian to be there. He went and sat on the chair beside her.
"Sisi..."
Xia Sinian took a glance at her. "What are you doing here?"
She furrowed her brows. "What else? I’m going to drink and make myself drunk tonight!"
"Go home. You shouldn’t be in a place like this."
She rolled her eyes, "Says the man who can’t even hold his drink." Li Bingbing turned to the bartender. "Give me three bottles of beer."
"No. Give her one." Xia Sinian quickly said. "I’ll double the pay."
Li Bingbing frowned. "Five! Give me five bottles!"
"A glass of beer will be enough for you."
"Sinian! F*ck you! Why are you even here? Go mind your own business! I am not your business anymore, remember?!" She growled angrily.
Xia Sinian lowered his head and was quiet for a while. He actually noticed the change in Li Bingbing’s attitude when she came back with Lu Xian Yu. He knows that something must have happened between them. Even if he was telling himself not to think about it, he still ended up following her out. He wanted to make sure that she’ll return home safely.
He never expected her to head to the bar. Afraid that others might come and take advantage of her, he decided to show himself to her.
"Didn’t you say that we’re back to being friends? I’ll accept that." Xia Sinian said as he looked at Li Bingbing. "I don’t mind being your friend again."
She blinked a few times. She was quite surprised by what he said. After staring at him for a while, she started laughing out loud. "Friends? Do you think I was serious with that?!"
"No. I didn’t think you were serious with it." Xia Sinian said with a blank look on his face. "This is an offer from me for the sake of our past."
"You want to get back with a ’used rag’ like me? Wow! I’m truly surprised, Xia Sinian." She laughed lightly.
He furrowed his brows. Her words stabbed his heart. "I’m not trying to get you back."
"Oh sure. We both know that you still love me. You also know that I still love you so what’s the use in ’going back to being friends’? It’s pointless!" She grabbed his hand and looked at his finger, there was no ring around it. "See this? I knew that you were lying about having a wife!"
Xia Sinian quickly pulled back his hand. "I’m not."
She huffs, not believing him. "Right. You just didn’t want your grandparents to know that you’re married."
Li Bingbing gave the bartender a glare. "Give me my beer now! I’m your customer!"
"Yes, ma’am!" The bartender quickly went and gave her a bottle of beer. He got scared with Li Bingbing’s scary glare.
Li Bingbing quickly took the bottle and chugged it down.
Xia Sinian glared at her. He quickly took the bottle away from her.
"Hey!"
"You’re not going to drink tonight." Xia Sinian said firmly.
Li Bingbing wanted to punch him. One second he was giving her a cold shoulder and was ignoring her and now he was acting so concerned about her. She wanted to punch him and make him admit that he still loves her. "You blind bast*rd!"
Xia Sinian’s lips curled up and didn’t say anything about this.
Li Bingbing gave out a heavy sigh and tried to calm herself down. "How about this? Why don’t you join me instead, boss? I’ll accept the ’friend’ request you want if you win against me in a drinking competition. If I win, you have to admit that you still love me!"
"I’ll send you home. You may not be drunk but you’re already acting like you are." Xia Sinian sighed.
"Sisi! Come on! Just this once! Let’s do this just this once! After this, I won’t bother you anymore. I won’t show up in front of you even if I win."
Xia Sinian stared at her for a while as if thinking about it.
Li Bingbing smirked inwardly. She knows that he has a weak alcohol tolerance. She will make sure to have him in her hands tonight!
"Fine," Xia Sinian said. "Just this once. If I win, I want you to go back to your province and stay there."
"Okay, okay, whatever you want."
With that, they both started taking shots. The first to go down will be the loser.
Li Bingbing was surprised when Xia Sinian kept on drinking without even giving a reaction. He doesn’t look like he is going to lose.
Another wonderful thought entered Li Bingbing’s mind. She wasn’t drunk yet, her alcohol tolerance was high but she pretended to be one. After a few shots, she shook her head. "I... I can’t drink anymore."
Xia Sinian sighed. "Let’s get you home now." After paying for the drinks Xia Sinian helped Li Bingbing up.
"I want to be carried! Can’t walk!" She opened her arms to him and refused to stand up.
Xia Sinian was a very patient person. Seeing that Li Bingbing was already drunk, he decided to give in. She won’t even remember this once she wakes up the next day.
He was about to carry her when she quickly shook her head. "Back! Your back!"
Whenever she’s drunk, she would always act like a kid. It looks like she was still the same as ever.
Xia Sinian faced his back to her and knelt down, waiting for her to get on.
Li Bingbing smirked at this. Xia Sinian was so easy to deceive. She leaned against his back and hugged him by his neck.
Xia Sinian gave her a piggyback ride as they went out of the bar and headed towards his car.
"You know, Sisi... I really love you..."
