BXBX NOVEL Chapter 612 - ONE MORE SHOT
The drunk Shun and Hu Lei were standing in front of the TV with the music blasting at full capacity. The two of them were trying to follow the moves of a pop group dancing. The scene was completely ridiculous because the images kept changing.
"You are a terrible dancer." Hu Lei shouted.
"Like you are any better," Shun shouted back.
Hu Lei poured more tequila into the shot glasses and handed one to Shun. After all the drinking they had already done, they had long forgotten about salt and lemon wedges.
"Blame it on the alcohol." Hu Lei yelled while lifting her glass.
"Blame it on the alcohol." Shun echoed.
They clinked their glasses before shouting \'woo\'.
"You know we have turned into \'woo girls\'." Hu Lei shouted as she tried to follow the moves on the screen again.
"What\'s \'woo girls\'? And shouldn\'t it be \'woo people\'?" Shun asked as the song changed. "Wooooo! I know this one."
Hu Lei started laughing hysterically. Unfortunately, she tripped over herself and fell to the plush carpet. This carpet was completely new. She and Shun dragged it to the front of the TV when Shun told her about the remodel.
It was fortunate they attempted to continue with the remodel after setting up the music system. Otherwise, she might have found herself with her butt on the hard floor.
Seeing her on the floor with a shocked face, Shun pointed at her and started laughing. It was a hilarious sight, and he did not have the mental maturity to not laugh at a fallen person.
Hu Lei was about to rebuke Shun for being mean, but she noticed two people standing at the door of the den. Her face turned from its wild state into that of an obedient and cute lady. However, it was not as adorable as she thought.
Her hair looked crazy after one too many headbangs. Moreover, she was sitting inelegantly on the floor. Zhong Feng merely lifted those beautiful eyebrows at her. He did not move to help her. Hu Lei scoffed and pouted before she stood up.
In the past, Zhong Feng would have rushed to check on her. Now, he even looked slightly amused at her predicament. At least, he did not laugh like Shun.
"What are you doing here?" She shouted over the music.
Wang Che found the remote and lowered the volume of the music, causing Shun to look at him in an aggrieved way. He did not listen to a lot of music, so he was happy when he heard something he recognised and liked. Wang Che was helpless at the sight of the red-faced person.
"I am more interested in knowing your plan for returning home." Zhong Feng looked at Hu Lei with narrowed eyes.
Hu Lei chuckled awkwardly. Could she confess that she knew that Zhong Feng would come for her? She rode one of her motorcycles to visit Shun. She plotted to drink, so she was not planning on riding her bike back.
And it was not like she could find a cab in the remote location of Wang Che\'s villa.
If she exposed her plans earlier to Zhong Feng, he would have followed her for the visit. Then, he would have been a wet blanket with stupid rules like a glass of water with every shot. So, she decided to do her own thing and report later.
Zhong Feng sighed and tapped her nose. "I know your little thoughts."
Hu Lei pouted at being exposed. Zhong Feng smiled and bent down to peck her lips. "You are lucky you are cute."
"I know I am cute." Hu Lei said proudly.
"Let\'s go home." Zhong Feng was used to his little wife\'s narcissism.
"Alright!" Hu Lei agreed. "But before that, one more shot!"
"No. You cannot drink anymore. You have already caused a lot of trouble tonight." Zhong Feng said helplessly.
"I have not done anything bad." Hu Lei said in a whiny voice. "If you are talking about that guy, he is lucky I left him with a breath. He tried to touch my chest."
Zhong Feng became cold, and his eyes became sharp and cruel. He looked at Wang Che with an obvious threat in his eyes.
"That is impossible. Zev is not that kind of man." Wang Che frowned.
Hu Lei sighed and looked at Wang Che as if he was a foolish child who was too naive. "Granted, he was just trying to kill me, but he has to know there are better ways to do it. I would not have dealt him such a heavy hand if he tried to break my neck or crack my skull."
"He tried to kill you?" Zhong Feng was so livid with anger that he almost lost his legendary self-control.
"To be fair, I might have stumbled upon his origins and said it out loud." Hu Lei shrugged she was no stranger to people trying to kill her, but she doubted anyone could succeed. Therefore, she did not mind that part.
When Zhong Feng was fuming and looking like he wanted to swallow Wang Che, Hu Lei nodded to Shun. Shun nodded back in understanding. Shun grabbed the shot glasses on the TV stand while Hu Lei picked the liquor bottle.
The two of them rushed out of the room while laughing, leaving the awkward situation behind them. Both Wang Che and Zhong Feng looked at the drunk adults behaving like children, but they did not follow.
The tension in the room mounted before Zhong Feng spoke calmly. However, there was an edge of danger in his tone. "I would like an explanation. My wife came here in good faith, but she was attacked. What do you have to say?"
Wang Che knew that his people were in the wrong. However, he did not know how to explain without exposing them to danger. Even though he had gotten new identities for those with a shady background, he could not be too careful.
"I apologise for the incident. I will make sure that my guards understand what they should or should not do." Wang Che replied.
"By guards, do you mean the terrorists you brought out of the war zone?" Zhong Feng asked sharply. "Yes, I am aware of this. Do not look so surprised.. I investigated you when you started showing too much interest in Shun."
