When Shen Yaoyao went to the restroom just now, Bai Jinghong saw everything clearly.
Obviously, Chen Lin had already gotten the documents.
That idiot thought he had seized the initiative. When the truth came to light, he wouldn’t even be able to find a place to cry.
Shen Yaoyao returned to her seat without a trace and started working.
But Bai Jinghong suddenly leaned over and put his arm around Shen Yaoyao.
“Yaoyao, I’m in a good mood today. I’ll take you to the club tonight!”
Bai Jinghong laughed, unable to resist reaching out and gently tugging at Shen Yaoyao’s ear.
Such an intimate gesture caught Shen Yaoyao completely off guard.
She hurriedly broke free and glanced at Bai Jinghong with a hint of resentment. “Can I not go?”
“No!” Bai Jinghong chuckled and pulled Shen Yaoyao into his arms again. “You have to go tonight.”
With that, he pecked Shen Yaoyao on the lips.
“You…”
Shen Yaoyao was furious.
Bai Jinghong was getting more and more casual.
Hugging her whenever he wanted, kissing her whenever he wanted.
Shen Yaoyao realized that if she didn’t put a stop to this, she might really lose herself.
But she truly had no good way right now. If she confronted Bai Jinghong directly, she simply couldn’t outmatch him.
Bai Jinghong was tougher.
Still, remembering that she had given Bai Jinghong’s plans to Chen Lin, a strange sense of guilt inexplicably rose in her heart.
She never imagined that during this mission, she would actually feel soft-hearted.
It was just that Bai Jinghong treated her so well, and the Bai family was incredibly kind to her, that Shen Yaoyao truly couldn’t bring herself to be ruthless.
She was human too. Her heart was made of flesh, not iron.
She knew that compassion would harm her, but she couldn’t suppress it.
…
In the evening, Bai Jinghong really did take her to the Autumn Club.
The Autumn Club was located in the best part of Dragon Sea.
From the outside, it looked like a mansion, but once inside, one would discover it was a paradise.
The guards at the entrance were all burly men over 1.9 meters tall, in suits and leather shoes, looking very imposing.
The moment Bai Jinghong’s car stopped, someone came up to park it in a spot.
“Young Master Bai…”
Seeing Bai Jinghong, the big men at the door all bowed in greeting.
“Mm, have they arrived?”
“They have!”
“Good!” Bai Jinghong smiled, took Shen Yaoyao’s hand, and said, “Let’s go, relax a bit tonight!”
Shen Yaoyao had been here once before, but that time she just sat with Bai Jinghong for a while and did nothing.
But this time, Bai Jinghong was clearly prepared to have fun, and Shen Yaoyao was a bit worried it might be some kind of shady game.
Entering the club, there were guides all along the way.
People to help wash hands, offer hot towels, all sorts of things; the service was top-notch.
Bai Jinghong and Shen Yaoyao arrived at a super-sized VIP room, the “Soaring Dragon Pavilion.”
The signboard was made of pure gold, glittering brilliantly.
The room was absurdly large. Besides the dining table, there was a sofa area and entertainment facilities not far away.
The table inside could accommodate fifty people, exaggeratedly huge.
Decorations carved with dragons and phoenixes adorned the tabletop, and the overhead chandelier was a crystal one.
The dining table and chairs were made of fine wood, with backrests also featuring hollow dragon carvings.
Shen Yaoyao was truly here for the first time.
“Young Master Bai…”
“Young Master Bai, you’re finally here!”
As soon as Bai Jinghong entered, the young masters and ladies came up to greet him, each one extremely enthusiastic.
“Sister-in-law, last time you and Young Master Bai left early. Today, you absolutely must have a few drinks!”
“Brother Jinghong, Sister-in-law is so beautiful. To call her a national beauty wouldn’t be an exaggeration at all!”
Shen Yaoyao felt a little embarrassed, biting her lip and sneaking a glance at Bai Jinghong.
“We’re all family here, no need for formalities. Take your seats, take your seats!” Bai Jinghong waved his hand grandly.
Everyone took their seats, the atmosphere lively and bustling.
Everyone present here, without exception, was of noble status.
Politics, business, military, law enforcement, underworld, fringe circles—all were represented.
Shen Yaoyao also experienced the extent of Bai Jinghong’s power.
Any single person taken out from here was a figure of importance.
Matters that would be impossibly difficult for an ordinary businessman could probably be handled smoothly the next day after a round of drinks here.
This was the power of a circle, though ordinary people truly had no chance of ever getting close to such a circle.
During the banquet, Bai Jinghong drank and chatted with his buddies, having a grand time.
Meanwhile, Shen Yaoyao sat quietly by Bai Jinghong’s side.
Of course, when many people came up to toast Shen Yaoyao, Bai Jinghong refused on her behalf.
And Bai Jinghong’s response also made Shen Yaoyao a little shy.
A simple “My wife doesn’t drink alcohol, she’ll have a soft drink!”
Sent those young masters scrambling to pour beverages.
Only Bai Jinghong himself knew the reason: Shen Yaoyao absolutely could not touch alcohol.
It would be deadly!
Even six or seven of those brutes from the Hell Organization couldn’t restrain a drunken, berserk Shen Yaoyao.
These pampered young masters in the room would be killed with a single punch each!
After three rounds of wine and five courses of dishes, the group moved to the entertainment area.
More eating, drinking, and merriment followed.
Singing, dancing, bowling, boxing—everything you could want was there.
Shen Yaoyao couldn’t really join in with these people and stayed close to Bai Jinghong the whole time.
Bai Jinghong was drinking and playing finger-guessing games with several young masters and ladies.
“You… you should drink less.” Shen Yaoyao couldn’t help but tug at the corner of Bai Jinghong’s clothes, reminding him.
Bai Jinghong looked at her, a flash of tenderness in his eyes, and reached up to ruffle her beautiful hair.
“Alright, I’ll drink something else!”
Bai Jinghong’s cup in front of him didn’t have much wine left anyway, and he poured a soft drink directly into it.
Just as Bai Jinghong was about to drink, the phone in his pocket rang.
It was his own sister calling.
Bai Jinghong stood up directly and walked aside to take the call.
Shen Yaoyao remained seated, watching those young masters play their finger-guessing game.
Just then, Shen Yaoyao reached out to grab her own drink, but by mistake, she picked up Bai Jinghong’s cup.
Her gaze was completely focused on their game, and she was even thinking how bad they were at it!
Just like that, she drank Bai Jinghong’s cup, which contained about one-tenth liquor, straight down.
After drinking it, Shen Yaoyao’s elegant brows furrowed slightly. She knew something was wrong.
After finishing the call, Bai Jinghong turned to go back.
At that moment, he suddenly saw Shen Yaoyao holding her forehead, her expression very distressed.
Bai Jinghong froze, instinctively looking at his cup.
“Damn!”
Bai Jinghong truly panicked this time.
Shen Yaoyao absolutely could not touch alcohol, even if it wasn’t very strong.
But the liquor left in his cup was a full 58-proof. Although considered light compared to some drinks, Shen Yaoyao couldn’t handle it.
He rushed over and wrapped his arm around Shen Yaoyao. “Yaoyao, you… what’s wrong with you?”
Shen Yaoyao held her forehead, looking drunk. “I… I…”
She couldn’t get a single sentence out for a long while.
“Is it really that exaggerated? Drunk from just a touch of alcohol? The original story didn’t deceive me!” Bai Jinghong’s heart skipped a beat.
“Young Master Bai, get… get a rope, tie me up… hurry…”
Shen Yaoyao panted heavily, speaking with great difficulty.
Bai Jinghong didn’t care about anything else at the moment. He directly unbuckled his own belt, then grabbed a young master nearby and yanked his belt off with one pull.
The young master was completely dumbfounded.
“Everyone, out!”
Bai Jinghong suddenly roared.
The room instantly fell silent.
“Young Master Bai? What’s wrong?”
“Don’t waste words, all of you, get out!” Bai Jinghong bellowed.
Seeing Bai Jinghong’s fury, no one dared to linger and they all left.
But every single one of them was utterly baffled.
Bai Jinghong secretly prayed that Shen Yaoyao wouldn’t have an episode.
Otherwise, even though he was a Mystic Rank – Late Stage warrior, he might not be able to handle it easily.
And Bai Jinghong had no choice but to send those young masters and ladies away.
If they stayed here, they’d either be caught in the crossfire or killed outright.
If Shen Yaoyao actually beat one to death here, it would be a huge problem.
Plus, Bai Jinghong didn’t need their help, especially from men. He didn’t want Shen Yaoyao to be touched by another man.
