Su Yun wrestled with herself, but in the end, she decided to face it head-on.
It was just one glass of wine.
Besides, she'd already taken the gene-optimization serum. Maybe it could help her resist the effects of alcohol.
Su Yun raised her glass, signaling for Chu Feng to clink glasses with her.
“I’m finishing mine. Drink as much as you like,” Su Yun said boldly.
Then, after clinking glasses with Chu Feng, Su Yun downed the red wine in one go.
A brief burst of sharpness gave way to a slightly sweet aftertaste.
Su Yun felt no discomfort at all, and that got her a little excited.
It seemed the gene-optimization serum really did suppress the effects of alcohol to some extent.
“Come on, fill them up! Let’s raise our glasses together and celebrate the three of us getting together.” Seeing that Su Yun seemed perfectly fine, Chen Shasha urged them to drink again.
Chen Shasha’s goal was simple: get the Divine Maiden drunk, then have President Chu take her home.
As for where he took her… that would be up to him.
After all, the Divine Maiden did have feelings for him. She just didn’t dare say so.
She couldn’t let the Divine Maiden miss out on a love this hard to come by. So she’d make the decision for her!
...
Su Yun watched as Chen Shasha filled her glass again.
She gave Chen Shasha a suspicious look.
Why was there so much more wine in her glass than in theirs?
What lousy drinking manners!
But she wasn’t afraid. She drank another glass of red wine, then waited and confirmed that she still had no adverse reaction.
She could say with absolute certainty that alcohol had almost no effect on her.
Bring it on.
It was only wine.
She could drink anyone under the table!
...
“Fill them up! A toast to you two handsome and beautiful people meeting each other.”
“Another toast—to your good luck in getting this exclusive candlelit dinner.”
...
“Come on, top them up again! A toast to tonight’s moon.”
“A toast to tonight’s anime episode!”
...
“A toast… a toast to the Divine Maiden’s love!”
By now, glass after glass had gone down. Even Chen Shasha, who’d only been pretending to drink, was almost at her limit and had started babbling.
But Su Yun was different.
Her stunning little face was slightly flushed, but she didn’t feel uncomfortable at all.
She hadn’t been fond of red wine before, but now she drank it like juice—and the more she drank, the better it tasted.
What Su Yun didn’t know was that the red wine in front of her was a bottle of Romanée-Conti Chu Feng had prepared. It cost over a hundred thousand yuan a bottle. Without the effects of alcohol to consider, of course it tasted good.
...
Meanwhile, Chu Feng was suffering in silence.
He’d spent the past two years making his way through the business world and attending more than his share of drinking engagements. Naturally, he could hold his liquor.
But he hadn’t expected the beautiful girl in front of him to be such a heavy drinker.
After all those glasses, all she had was a slight flush in her cheeks.
Meanwhile, he was already dizzy and couldn’t drink another drop.
“Drink!”
“Come on, let’s clink glasses!”
Now it was Su Yun, thoroughly enjoying herself, who was loudly demanding the two of them drink with her.
Too proud to back down, Chu Feng forced himself to drink another glass.
“I can’t… I can’t anymore…”
Chu Feng waved his hand and repeated himself, then slumped forward, his head hitting the dining table. Drunk, he passed out.
With one hand on her hip, Su Yun pointed at Chu Feng and burst out laughing.
“Hmph! You’re no good either, you jerk… You’re already out cold.”
“I’m way more impressive!”
Chen Shasha, sitting nearby, realized something was wrong.
Though Chen Shasha had already been a little drunk, she sobered up by a third on the spot.
President Chu was drunk. Wouldn’t that ruin everything?
...
Wait!
President Chu couldn’t do anything now, but she could find a way to get the Divine Maiden to make the first move!
“President Chu’s drunk. How about you take him home, Divine Maiden?” Chen Shasha asked, struggling to keep up her drunken act.
...
Take Chu Feng home?
But I don’t even know where he lives…
“Ding! Host has completed the mission to have dinner with Chu Feng. You’ve received 100,000 Humiliation Points and [Goddess’s High Heels].”
Mission complete! Yay!
Just as Su Yun cheered, ready to head home and use the Humiliation Points to upgrade the Space Gate, the system spoke again.
“Ding! Although the host completed the mission, you caused the main character, Chu Feng, to become unconscious from alcohol during the mission. You must take him somewhere safe to spend the night.”
“If, because of the host, Chu Feng does not spend the night safely and suffers from conditions such as cold or injury, 50,000 Humiliation Points will be deducted.”
“If the host successfully settles Chu Feng down for the night with no harm done, you will receive 50,000 Humiliation Points.”
...
Whoa. That’s a hundred thousand points swinging back and forth.
“Chen Shasha, help me get this guy out of here…” Su Yun said.
“Ah, I can barely walk. You’ll have to handle it yourself, Divine Maiden.” Seeing the situation, Chen Shasha naturally thought she shouldn’t get in the way of the Divine Maiden spending some time alone with the CEO.
“You two do whatever you want. I’m heading home…”
With that, Chen Shasha left the two of them to it and hurried off.
In Chen Shasha’s mind, the Divine Maiden might act like she didn’t care about President Chu, but deep down, she must care about him a lot. Such a tsundere Divine Maiden—this was the perfect chance for her.
...
Su Yun looked at Chu Feng, who was slumped in his chair, drunk out of his mind, and didn’t know what to do.
Now what?
She definitely had to get Chu Feng somewhere safe.
Su Yun stood up and searched his wallet. Aside from an ID card, a few business cards, and some bank cards, there was nothing that listed his home address.
Then again, she hadn’t expected there to be anything…
Su Yun looked at the table. A set of keys lay there. They belonged to Chu Feng.
There was clearly a key to a luxury car and one to his home, but Su Yun had no idea where he lived.
Taking Chu Feng home and then going back to her own place wasn’t an option for now.
That left her with only two choices.
Either take Chu Feng to her place and let him spend the night there…
Or get a hotel room and let him spend the night there.
After thinking it over, Su Yun decided she shouldn’t let Chu Feng into her bedroom.
Besides, if Chu Feng slept in her room, where would she sleep?
So she decided to get a hotel room.
Su Yun carefully supported Chu Feng as they walked. He was drunk, but some instinctive awareness remained. His steps were unsteady, but with someone helping him, he could still walk.
They walked along.
Su Yun passed a hotel that looked very upscale and helped Chu Feng inside.
She had 100 million yuan now, so she could afford even the most luxurious hotel.
The front desk of a five-star hotel.
The receptionist saw a stunning woman supporting a handsome, drunk man. The pairing struck her as a little strange.
Usually, it was the woman who showed up drunk…
“One room, please.” Su Yun naturally planned to go home after getting the room.
The receptionist saw Su Yun’s daring outfit and the handsome man in a suit leaning on her. Since they were only getting one room, she understood what was going on.
“We only have one room left, a couples’ suite. It’s 28,888 a night. Would you like it?”
Of course, the hotel didn’t actually have only one room left.
The receptionist was just trying to upsell them to a more expensive room. From the way they were dressed, the couple looked wealthy.
“Then I’ll take it.”
Now that Su Yun had money, she naturally didn’t care about the price.
As for the couples’ suite, she wasn’t going to stay there anyway. She could leave once she’d taken Chu Feng inside.
What Su Yun didn’t expect was that Chu Feng, who’d been completely drunk, was slowly regaining a little awareness…
