Chapter 171: Chapter 168 Can You Not Be So Cruel to Me?

Inside the bar, Wei Mingna was absent, only Qin Zhao and Su Xiaotong were present.

Wei Mingna was overseas with a male model for a fashion show today, so she couldn’t make it.

As soon as Su Xiaotong sat down, she ordered a heap of drinks, but being timid herself, she just clung to a glass of low-alcohol sparkling wine and sipped it slowly.

Because her alcohol tolerance was poor, she dared not drink much outside.

Qin Zhao, on the other hand, was quite casual; she couldn’t get drunk at all, so she tried a bit of every type.

Their table was laden with various kinds of alcohol.

A man walked over without asking for their permission and sat across from them.

The man said with a smile, "Ladies, I see you don’t hold your liquor well, yet you’ve ordered so much. Need help drinking it?"

With slender, fair fingers carelessly pinching a stylishly designed glass, the stunningly beautiful woman glanced at him coldly, her red lips slightly curled.

With a hint of sarcasm, she said, "Which eye of yours saw that we can’t hold our liquor?"

The man didn’t seem embarrassed at all by Qin Zhao’s words.

"Look at this beauty; she’s clearly drunk. She’s only had a little," he claimed.

"Waiter, we’re being harassed."

Qin Zhao cut him off and raised her hand to summon the waiter.

Then she tilted her chin towards the man, "We reserved this booth, have him leave."

Qin Zhao had never met someone trying to hit on them and expecting them to invite him for drinks; moreover, his eyes were full of scheming, clearly up to no good.

There were many such messy men in the bar, and Qin Zhao couldn’t be bothered to talk to him.

"Sir, sorry. This lady has indeed reserved this spot, you can’t sit here without her permission."

The waiter stepped forward and politely asked the man to leave.

Finally losing his smile, the man had to get up and leave.

But before leaving, he stared resentfully and angrily at Qin Zhao.

Qin Zhao gave him a cool glance, then saw him go to a corner and start eying the variety of women in the bar as if he were looking for prey.

"Zhaozhao, that kind of guy probably wants to take advantage of girls who are drunk and ’carry them home.’ This ’corpse’ doesn’t refer to a dead body but to those girls who black out from drinking.

You shouldn’t come to bars alone and drink so much in the future, call me to join. I never drink much outside because I’m afraid of being taken advantage of when I’m drunk."

Su Xiaotong wasn’t drunk; she hadn’t had much to drink.

After a long talk with Qin Zhao, Su Xiaotong took the wine glass from her hand.

Su Xiaotong remembered that Qin Zhao wasn’t good at drinking either.

So whenever there was a social event, she would help Qin Zhao by telling investors that Qin Zhao didn’t drink.

"It’s fine, I can’t get drunk."

Qin Zhao tried to take back her wine glass, but Su Xiaotong stopped her.

"Do I not know your alcohol limit yet? You can’t drink. Even though I’m in a bad mood today, I just wanted to have a few simple drinks. There’s no need to push ourselves to the edge.

It’s hard to find a three-legged toad, but is it hard to find a man with two legs?

In a few days, I’ll have my parents find someone even better than Qin Yu!"

After Qin Zhao entered her "cultivation" phase, her physique was different from ordinary people, and naturally, she couldn’t get drunk.

But she couldn’t explain this to Su Xiaotong, so she could only agree helplessly, "Fine, I won’t drink anymore. Then why did you order so much alcohol? You’ve pretty much tried every drink in the bar."

"I have money, can’t I spend it today if I want to?"

Su Xiaotong snorted.

"If a handsome guy had come looking for me, I would have definitely invited him for a drink without hesitation, but that guy, you could tell he was up to no good and wasn’t good-looking either."

Su Xiaotong dragged Qin Zhao to the dance floor for a while, and then they returned to their booth, listened to music, and sipped on drinks until it was 1 AM.

Qin Zhao checked the time and then pulled Su Xiaotong to leave the bar.

Since they had planned to drink, they had taken a taxi to the bar, so they had to take a taxi back home at night as well.

Qin Zhao called a taxi, first had the driver drop Su Xiaotong off at her residential area, and then had the driver take her home.

Just after getting out of the taxi, not far from the entrance of the residential area, a black van also pulled up.

As Qin Zhao walked into the residential area, a man in a baseball cap got out of the van and quickly followed her, keeping a not too close yet not too distant pace behind her.

Qin Zhao lived in a high-end residential area with a very nice landscape design, which included large gardens.

But at night, it felt like there weren’t enough street lights, and amid the vast gardens, it was pitch black and eerily silent, accompanied only by the occasional hungry cries of stray cats.

Qin Zhao’s destination was the innermost building in the residential area.

As she passed by the landscaped garden, Qin Zhao suddenly stopped.

Ever since she had gotten out of the car, she had felt like someone was following her.

Could it be some kind of pervert stalking her in the middle of the night?

A flicker of coldness passed through Qin Zhao’s eyes, and she soon sensed someone hiding in the landscape woods.

Suddenly, Qin Zhao’s figure disappeared from where she was standing and reappeared in the pitch-dark woods. She saw a figure stepping out from behind a tree.

Before the figure could fully emerge from the woods, Qin Zhao attacked him.

In the blink of an eye, she had knocked him to the ground.

Qin Zhao’s knee was pressed against his back, pinning one of his arms behind him.

The man groaned softly.

His voice was aggrieved, "Zhaozhao, that hurts."

Qin Zhao was taken aback, her nose picking up a faint smell of blood. She quickly let him go.

"Chu Yan? What are you doing here?"

As Chu Yan stood up, Qin Zhao turned on the flashlight on her phone and indeed, it was him.

"I’m feeding the stray cats here. Why did you hit me?"

"....."

Qin Zhao shifted her gaze to the ground, where indeed a scattered bag of small cat food packets lay.

"Hiding here so late at night to feed stray cats? I thought you were a criminal."

In the pitch-black night, those cold Phoenix Eyes seemed even darker than the night itself.

"At this hour, stray cats are the hungriest. If they get too hungry, they’ll eat anything. The stuff outside isn’t clean; I was worried they’d get sick from eating it too much, so I came to feed them."

Chu Yan bent down to pick up the scattered cat food. The flashlight illuminated his right hand, revealing fresh blood crawling out from his sleeve, staining his fair hand back red.

Seeing the blood streaming out, Chu Yan paused his movements.

At that moment, a muffled groan and the rustling of foliage came from the woods.

"There seems to be someone else inside."

Qin Zhao wanted to go check, but Chu Yan pulled her back.

"It must be the stray cats; don’t disturb them."

Qin Zhao finally noticed the fresh blood on his hand, frowning, "Are you hurt?"

Chu Yan moved his right hand behind his back and said in a low voice, "I’ve never seen a woman so heartless towards her own husband. Can’t you refrain from hitting me?"
