Meanwhile, after finishing everything, Xu Yinsheng quickly dashed into the small bar inside the club, intending to have a drink to quench her thirst.
The bar was quiet, dimly lit, and sparsely populated—only a handful of people, both men and women.
The bartender, dressed in a white uniform with white gloves, quietly polished the glasses.
Xu Yinsheng found a seat by the window, ordered a glass of whiskey, and gulped it down, finishing half the glass in one go before pouring herself another.
Not long after she sat down, a handsome young man in white glanced over, lifted his glass, and smiled as he greeted her.
“Beautiful lady, may I buy you a drink?”
Xu Yinsheng looked up.
The white-clad youth before her was about twenty-seven or twenty-eight years old, with a heroic look in his brows.
He was tall and slender, his skin snow-white, a gentle smile on his face, and bright black eyes—a truly good-looking man.
“Bai Xiaoyi,” she said with a slight twitch at the corner of her mouth.
He was even hitting on her.
Great, wasn’t it the same person who used to call her ‘Xu Ge’ all the time!
Bai Xiaoyi was slightly surprised but then raised an eyebrow lightly.
“Beautiful lady, it seems you have heard of my deeds. Allow me to introduce myself once more. I am Bai Xiaoyi, known in the underworld as the Little White Dragon of the Waves. My father is Bai Tengyun, the CEO of the Bai Group. My eldest brother is also the first heir of the Bai Group. As the second son, the shares I can inherit in the group are worth tens of billions. Most of the rumors out there are slanders. In truth, I am a very devoted man.”
He spoke with deep passion, the sincerity in his eyes coupled with his handsome face making it hard to doubt him.
Xu Yinsheng only responded with a “Hehehe.”
You can fool others, but don’t fool yourself.
The naive young girl fresh from the countryside didn’t know what kind of character Bai Xiaoyi truly was.
Didn’t she?
Xu Yinsheng only teased without sleeping with men, but Bai Xiaoyi both teased and slept around.
They were, in fact, two scoundrels of the same kind attracted to each other.
After finishing, Bai Xiaoyi looked up at the tall woman with emerald hair before him, his Adam’s apple rolling as a fiery gleam flashed in his eyes.
He had thought coming to play golf with his third sister would yield no results, but unexpectedly, he encountered such a gem.
Just a moment ago, the instant the bar door opened and those long legs stepped inside, Bai Xiaoyi felt his heart stir.
Though he had many ex-girlfriends and mistresses, feeling his heart race was rare, especially when it was a woman so perfectly to his taste.
Just looking at those beautiful legs, he could imagine eighteen different ways to play in bed.
As for the quarrel happening outside the bar with his third sister and someone else, that was nothing.
The third sister was nowhere near as important as picking up women.
“Now then, beautiful lady, may I invite you to share a drink with me?”
Bai Xiaoyi was brimming with confidence, his tens of billions in assets fueling the certainty that she wouldn’t reject him.
Besides, in a place like this, alcohol and music made people relax.
Voices had to be whispered close to ears, and sharing drinks and chatting was an easy way to get closer.
“No.”
A slight crack appeared in Bai Xiaoyi’s confident expression.
“Then, charming lady, is there anyone sitting beside you?”
“No one,” Xu Yinsheng frowned.
“And also, I’m not interested in discussing personal matters with strangers.”
Bai Xiaoyi shrugged and sat down next to her, finishing the contents of his glass.
Xu Yinsheng’s whiskey was lightly iced, her intent to blend into this environment properly, but Bai Xiaoyi kept trying to start conversations, chattering nonstop.
“Miss Mu’s prime years… Miss Mu also came to play golf…”
“Miss Mu…”
“Miss Mu, how about we make a bet?”
“All right, all right, what do you want to bet on?”
Xu Yinsheng was utterly annoyed and impatient.
She had originally hoped to enjoy some rare private time alone while Zhao Yicheng was entangled elsewhere, but this buzzing fly at her ear wouldn’t stop.
“Golf.”
Bai Xiaoyi smiled even wider.
“If I win, Miss Mu will have to drink a cup with me. If I lose…”
He pulled out a blank check and wrote one million on it.
Bai Xiaoyi pushed the check toward her.
“Just a small token of my sincerity.”
Xu Yinsheng raised her brow, took the check, and under his determined gaze, tore the million-dollar check into pieces, casually tossing them into the nearby trash bin.
Bai Xiaoyi’s face shifted slightly.
However, Xu Yinsheng gently tapped the empty glass in his hand with her own and smiled with curved eyes and a playful smirk:
“I want one of the cars in your garage.”
Bai Xiaoyi was stunned for a moment, then burst into laughter.
“Miss Mu’s appetite is quite large, but I agree!”
Any car in his garage was worth millions, yet Bai Xiaoyi’s burning eyes scanned those long, straight, jade-like legs, swallowing instinctively.
“No pain, no gain!”
A few million for a woman like this?
Not a loss at all!
Just as the two reached an agreement, the bar door suddenly opened, and a robust, handsome man walked in.
Zhao Yicheng had just dealt with Bai Ruoxi’s side and followed the location on his phone to this place.
The moment he entered, he saw Xu Yinsheng sitting at the bar with a stranger, seemingly chatting.
He quickly strode over, snatched Xu Yinsheng’s glass, and downed it in one gulp.
“She’s mine,” he warned Bai Xiaoyi with his gaze.
Bai Xiaoyi looked somewhat unwilling, but under Zhao Yicheng’s overwhelming presence, he could only leave awkwardly.
Xu Yinsheng was also startled by Zhao Yicheng’s sudden arrival.
She watched Bai Xiaoyi’s retreating figure and muttered in dissatisfaction.
“Leaving so soon? We haven’t even made that bet. You promised to drink together.”
No sooner had the words left her mouth than she felt a hostile gaze piercing her back, making her uncomfortable.
“Cough cough, don’t misunderstand. I didn’t mean anything else. I just want to win back the car I lost to him before.”
Xu Yinsheng shrank back timidly.
“You okay?”
Zhao Yicheng sat in the seat beside Xu Yinsheng, pressing ice cubes from his glass to his forehead, the cold water dripping down his face.
No anger, no rage.
Control your emotions.
Stay calm.
Stay steady.
He took out a bottle of medicine from his pocket and swallowed some pills with the cool liquor.
After a while, his mental state improved noticeably.
Indeed, a psychiatric patient mustn’t get too emotional.
Once losing control, that would cause serious chaos.
Xu Yinsheng ordered two more glasses of whiskey for them.
She took a small sip, the sting of the alcohol making her slightly tipsy.
“How’s Xinnuo’s situation?”
“Resolved.”
“Good.”
After speaking, Xu Yinsheng looked at Zhao Yicheng, her emerald eyes sparkling.
She hesitated for a moment before tentatively asking, “What do you think about harems?”
“Don’t overthink it,” Zhao Yicheng said, holding his forehead, a headache evident.
Bai Ruoxi’s words were definitely overheard by Xu Yinsheng.
“I’ll handle those problems.”
“Just give me some time.”
“No, I’m just asking if you’re a ‘pure love’ type?”
Xu Yinsheng shook her head.
She had heard what Bai Ruoxi said but didn’t care.
She didn’t love Zhao Yicheng, so it didn’t matter if he liked someone else.
“Pure love? Faithful?”
Xu Yinsheng thought maybe she really should see a psychologist.
This kind of ‘harem’ tendency thinking had to be stamped out at birth!!
