Chapter 88: Two Special Bones! The Young Lady Has Been Left in a Deep Emotional Spiral!

While Chu Lin was still at a loss for how to answer this young heiress, Huang Bin had already come up beside the car and asked, “Chu Lin, what’s going on? Are we still going to the bar?”

“We’re going!” Cai Yao cut in before he could speak. “Mr. Chu, you won’t mind if I come along, will you?”

“Mr. Cai, you’re joking.” Chu Lin was helpless. It seemed this young lady was troubled by something today and truly meant to drown her sorrow in drink.

Seeing Huang Bin staring at them with open curiosity, he could only introduce them. “This is Mr. Cai, the general manager of Zhenzhi. Mr. Cai, this is my brother Huang Bin. He’s treating me to dinner at Zhenzhi tonight!”

Huang Bin knew about Chu Lin’s supply deal with Zhenzhi, so he smiled and greeted her. “Mr. Cai, a pleasure.”

“Hello.” Cai Yao replied politely, then looked back at Chu Lin. “Mr. Chu, let’s go. Weren’t we heading to the bar?”

Chu Lin had no choice but to take Cai Yao with them to the Supreme Bar.

But with this young heiress tagging along, how was he supposed to get Lin Nian to invite a companion, or see whether the bar’s newest beauties were worth tasting?

This time Huang Bin only opened a private table. After all, they had already opened five bottles of Hennessy XO last time and only finished one; four were still left.

Once the bottles were uncorked, Chu Lin became more and more certain that something was off with Cai Yao. Who started out by throwing back strong liquor in such huge glasses? And she even thrust one into his hand.

“Mr. Chu, let’s have a drink.” Cai Yao clinked glasses with him, then tossed it back in one swallow.

“???” Chu Lin stared.

Her family had only sent her out for a blind date. Did she really need to do this?

Seeing that she was already about to pour herself another enormous glass, he hurriedly gave her a subtle warning. “Mr. Cai, look, you’re a woman and I’m a man. Going out drinking with me and getting too drunk isn’t exactly wise.”

“Mr. Chu, I don’t go drinking alone with men,” Cai Yao said with a smile. “But you’re different. You’re a gentleman. If it were another man, he’d probably try some roundabout way to get me drunk, and he certainly wouldn’t be trying to stop me like you are.”

That was her honest feeling. She had a peculiar sensitivity: any man looking at her with desire could not hide it from her eyes.

That sensitivity also made it extremely uncomfortable for her to be alone with men.

Only this Mr. Chu seemed to have no designs on her at all. At the very least, being alone with him didn’t give her that unpleasant feeling.

“I’m a gentleman?” Chu Lin opened his mouth, and for a moment he truly wanted to say: is this young lady blind?

If you were some woman a man couldn’t handle or control, just see whether he’d still be such a gentleman.

Cai Yao filled her glass again, then raised it toward Huang Bin. “Mr. Huang, I’m mooching your liquor. Let me drink to you!”

Seeing her drink like this, Huang Bin was rather surprised.

Chu Lin, however, hurriedly reminded him, “Mr. Cai’s in a bad mood. Don’t let her drink too much.”

Huang Bin instantly gave him a knowing look. After all these years as brothers, how could he not understand what he meant?

The words on the surface were for Cai Yao to hear. The hidden meaning was to get her drunk.

When someone is in a bad mood, they get drunk more easily. And once they’re drunk, the chance comes.

“Mr. Cai, you’re so generous. I’ll return the toast!” Huang Bin said, picking up the bottle and pouring her a full glass.

Chu Lin was instantly dumbstruck.

Did this guy even understand what he meant?

Lin Nian had been in the world for quite some time; naturally he understood men’s intentions. Seeing Huang Bin’s move, he knew he was backing them up, and he too poured a drink and toasted Cai Yao. “Mr. Cai, I admire capable women like you most. I toast you.”

“Huang Bin, I said let Mr. Cai drink a little less.” Watching Cai Yao accept every drink that came her way, Chu Lin hurried to remind them again.

“Got it, got it,” Huang Bin replied, while his hand was already pouring another drink for Cai Yao. “Mr. Cai, I’ll toast you again.”

“...” Chu Lin had an urge to curse.

By the time two bottles of Hennessy XO were finished, Cai Yao’s body tilted to one side, and she was already lying across his thigh.

To his side, Huang Bin even flashed him an OK sign.

Chu Lin sighed.

Damn it, now what?

At that moment Huang Bin leaned in, rubbing his hands together with a sly grin. “Chu Lin, your taste is getting better and better. This Mr. Cai really is a rare beauty. And look at how hard she’s drinking; isn’t she just trying to get drunk and give you a chance? You’re a real monster. I’ll take Lin Nian and leave first, so we won’t disturb you. Have fun tonight.”

Watching Huang Bin leave without hesitation, Chu Lin directly raised his middle finger at him.

That damned troublemaker.

He had no choice but to help the drunken Cai Yao up. But she could no longer walk on her own, so he could only carry her out of the bar in a very ambiguous posture.

The sway of her body as he walked made him keenly aware of just how generously endowed this young lady really was.

But after finally managing to get her into the car, an even more awkward problem arose. He searched her all over and found no wallet, no ID. There was no way to book a hotel for her.

The key issue was that her phone could only be unlocked by password; it had no fingerprint or facial recognition. Was this young lady even a modern person?

But what was he supposed to do now?

Chu Lin suddenly felt a pang of sympathy for Li Qian. When he had pretended to be drunk before, she must have been just as torn as he was now.

In the end, he could only make the same helpless decision Li Qian had made. He called a designated driver and took the young lady back to the farm, spending quite some effort before getting her onto his bed.

Looking at the motionless young heiress, she really was beautiful.

But he could only sigh.

For a woman like Cai Yao, who was obviously impossible to handle, it was best not to get involved. Better not invite such trouble.

With that thought, he went into the bathroom, intending to wash up and sleep on the floor for the night.

When he came out wrapped in a bath towel, he was startled to discover that Cai Yao had already gotten up and was sitting on the bed.

“Mr. Cai, you’re awake?” Chu Lin hurriedly tried to explain the situation, only to realize that the young lady’s eyes were closed. Clearly, it was unconscious drunken behavior. Then, astonishingly, she began to remove the clothes she was wearing.

Damn it!

Chu Lin was stunned. This would be impossible to explain tomorrow. He hurriedly took out his phone.

Better to secure evidence first.

In the blink of an eye, Chu Lin was left staring wide-eyed. The situation had become outrageously inappropriate; all that remained covering the young lady’s body were a tiny pair of undergarments.

Yet the young lady behaved as if nothing were wrong. After stripping away some of her clothing, she lay back down and became a sleeping beauty again.

It was the kind of sight that would never pass review even in a photo, something that would have to be censored out.

Chu Lin’s sleep that night was abysmal.

Not because he was sleeping on the floor.

Men all understand why it was bad.

The next day, in a daze, he heard the prompt from the Atlantis map:

[The current Atlantis map is level 3 and can refresh three kinds of ordinary animals. The animals have been refreshed!]

[Today the waves continue, and ocean currents have also appeared. Two strange fish bones were unexpectedly swept in!]

Chu Lin opened his eyes at the prompt.

Currents again?

They had been appearing rather frequently these past few days.

But what use were two fish bones that had been swept in?

Before he could think further, he noticed movement above him. Cai Yao had woken up.

He hurriedly closed his eyes and pretended to sleep. Otherwise, there would be an explanation to make, and it would be awkward.

Although he had done nothing, he had still seen what he should not have seen.

The moment Cai Yao woke, she saw the unfamiliar room around her, and her head buzzed loudly. It wasn’t as though she had never watched television; she knew she had gotten drunk and been taken home by someone.

Especially since her short skirt and the underlayers beneath her clothes were no longer on her body.

She forced herself to recall, and only when she saw Chu Lin lying on the floor did the related memories return.

She had gone to the bar with Mr. Chu.

She was disgusted with herself. For the first time going drinking with a man, she had actually gone and blacked out.

She hurriedly checked her body. There was nothing wrong with her, and most importantly, there was no pain.

If anything had happened, the first time would definitely have been painful, and there would have been blood.

That made her breathe a sigh of relief.

This Mr. Chu really was a gentleman.

Even though he had gotten her clothes into this state, at the very least he hadn’t done anything to her in the end.

Thinking of that, she quickly got up, tiptoed to pick up her short skirt and undergarments, ran into the bathroom, and emerged a moment later fully dressed. Then she quietly opened the door and slipped out.

She did not want to wait for Mr. Chu to wake up, and then have them both feel awkward.

After Cai Yao left, Chu Lin also got up quietly. It seemed the two of them had thought the same thing: they were both afraid of embarrassment.

He smiled and also sent the video he had recorded last night to the young lady. The clothes had been taken off by her own hands; he could not let her misunderstand him.

By the time Cai Yao reached outside the farm and hailed a taxi, she had just gotten into the car when Chu Lin’s message arrived.

Almost instinctively, she opened it and saw the video. Her face instantly flushed with embarrassment.

She had thought her clothes had been turned into that state by Mr. Chu. Who would have thought it had been her own doing? Then again, she had done this at home before. It was more comfortable to sleep that way.

Just then, her phone rang.

It was her best friend, Liu Ling. She answered subconsciously, and her friend teased her, “Yao Yao, I heard you embarrassed Young Master Ma yesterday? Aren’t your father and brother furious?”

“How do you know?” Cai Yao asked in confusion.

Liu Ling explained, “Your little brother called me. He also said you left with a handsome guy and asked me who that was!”

“It was Mr. Chu. I made him my shield again!” Cai Yao explained, then, thinking of last night, she could not help venting to her best friend. “Mr. Chu really is a gentleman. I was in a bad mood last night, so I went drinking with him at the bar. Not only did he keep telling me to drink less, but after I got drunk, he didn’t do a single thing to me.”

But Liu Ling replied, “Yao Yao, shouldn’t you be worrying about yourself instead?”

“???” Cai Yao was baffled.

Liu Ling said, “You got drunk in front of him. Normally, isn’t a woman who drinks herself drunk giving a man an opportunity? And he still didn’t touch you?”

“I told you, he’s a gentleman!”

Liu Ling said, “Then could it be your looks didn’t attract him?”

“???”

Liu Ling said, “Or maybe your figure wasn’t enough to entice him?”

“???”

Liu Ling said, “Yao Yao, a man drank with you, and alcohol was already affecting him, yet you didn’t have even the slightest charm to attract him. Shouldn’t you be upset?”

“...”

Cai Yao froze.

For some reason, her mood suddenly sank. Her best friend had somehow emo’d her in a single stroke.
