Chapter 035 Zhu Yan Blood

This time when Su Rui patted himself, Xue Ruyun surprisingly didn’t dodge. A strange feeling rose from the depths of her heart; Su Rui’s hand seemed very hot, and that feeling was oddly comfortable.

“You’ve had too much to drink today. Do you want to go to the bathroom and throw up? Come on, I’ll help you there.”

Xue Ruyun was about to stand up to support Su Rui.

But Su Rui held her arm, refusing to get up, and said: “Sister, my enchantress sister, we finally meet today, this is all fate. Why don’t we have a drink together? Half a jin for you, half a jin for me, what do you think?”

“Stop fooling around, are you treating me like those guys from the Green Dragon Gang?” Xue Ruyun was both annoyed and amused. She pinched Su Rui’s arm and said, “You’re not being a good little brother. Even with my high alcohol tolerance, I’m no match for you. You’ve had enough to drink today. Let’s go, I’ll take you back to rest now. Which hotel are you staying at?”

“Why go back to rest? Haven’t we already found out where Li Yang is? To avoid complications, let’s go to Katie Entertainment City to find him now.” Su Rui said nonchalantly.

Xue Ruyun was surprised: “You’ve already had two jin of baijiu, can you still go find him? I bet you can’t even walk straight now!”

Su Rui pursed his lips, seeming a bit thick-tongued: “What’s the problem? This amount of alcohol is nothing to me. We can have another drinking session at Katie Entertainment City, deepen our brother-sister relationship, and then confront Li Yang about why he sent people to assassinate that girl Lin Aoxue.”

“That won’t do.” Hearing this reckless talk from Su Rui, Xue Ruyun became anxious. What an international joke! Who was Li Yang? He was the biggest gang leader in all of Ninghai! The head of the Green Dragon Gang! One of the top twenty underworld figures in all of China!

With just the two of them, if they went to confront him like this, wouldn’t they be beaten half to death and thrown out?

Perhaps being beaten half to death would be getting off lightly. Li Yang might get angry and throw them into the Ning River to feed the fish!

“Sis, don’t worry, nothing will happen with me around. If I were afraid of someone like Li Yang, wouldn’t half my life have been wasted?”

“Su Rui, you’re drunk,” Xue Ruyun persisted in her persuasion.

“Do I look drunk to you? My speech is clear, my head isn’t spinning, and my face isn’t even red.”

After saying this, Su Rui lowered his head and glanced at Xue Ruyun’s prominent chest. A flame shot up from his lower abdomen, and his face suddenly turned red.

“Only drunk people think they’re not drunk. Sister absolutely won’t let you go find Li Yang today. It’s too dangerous.” Xue Ruyun was firm. Actually, she couldn’t be blamed; any normal person would choose not to go. After all, there weren’t many freaks like Su Rui in the world.

Su Rui finally stopped insisting: “Fine then! If you won’t go with me, I’ll find time another day and take that girl Lin Aoxue to settle accounts with him!”

“Fine, whatever you want, as long as you don’t go today.” The power disparity was too great. Several black lines crossed Xue Ruyun’s face as she thought Su Rui’s courage was just alcohol-induced, which was why he would say such things. She believed that once Su Rui sobered up tomorrow, he definitely wouldn’t dare to cause trouble for Li Yang.

But what Xue Ruyun didn’t realize was that Su Rui’s mind was actually clearer than hers right now. A mere local snake like Li Yang wasn’t even on his radar.

If he wanted to kill the man, it would be simpler than crushing an ant. If it weren’t for certain domestic rules constraining him, Su Rui would have taken action directly without needing any reason or evidence.

If he weren’t concerned about drawing unnecessary attention by acting too boldly within the country, Su Rui would have already stormed in with a sniper rifle to confront Li Yang!

Xue Ruyun said: “Let’s go home, I’ll take you.”

“Not going home, it’s too early to go back now.” Su Rui looked a bit confused as he propped his head with his hand, speaking somewhat stiffly: “Anyway, I’m just not going back.”

Xue Ruyun sighed: “Do you want sister to find a place for a few more drinks?”

“Of course, no problem. You haven’t had anything to drink tonight, right? Why not have a couple more drinks before we leave?” Su Rui pointed at the few bottles of Wuliangye on the floor.

“Let’s not do that now, otherwise no one will be able to drive.” Xue Ruyun looked at Su Rui and said, “I’ll take you somewhere that will definitely make you happy. Consider it my thanks for your help today.”

Su Rui’s eyes scanned Xue Ruyun’s chest a few times: “Enchantress sister, how do you plan to thank me? Just the two of us, why not offer yourself to me?”

Xue Ruyun irritably hit Su Rui’s shoulder: “Dream on, sister has maintained her virtue all these years. No man worthy of sister’s body has appeared yet.”

“Is that so?” Su Rui looked doubtfully at Xue Ruyun’s mature figure. If no man had explored it before, how could it be so round and luscious?

“Wait a moment before we go.” Su Rui suddenly stood up and walked over to the passed-out Li Zhilong. He took out the man’s phone and found Li Yang’s number in the contacts. After just a glance, he closed the phone. For Su Rui, one look was enough to burn the number into his memory.

…

Max Bar.

Su Rui stood at the entrance of the bar, looking at the flashing neon lights above, his expression becoming somewhat strange. After leaving the restaurant and hotel, they had been brought to this place by the enchantress Xue Ruyun.

Looking at the bar’s sign, Xue Ruyun’s eyes revealed a smile as she nudged Su Rui with her elbow, saying: “Let’s go, you’ve had your fill today, but sister hasn’t had a drink yet. Shall we go in for a couple?”

For some reason, when Xue Ruyun saw Su Rui drinking with the Green Dragon Gang members today, she actually wanted to drink more herself. A feeling of envy had unexpectedly risen from the bottom of her heart.

Envy that Su Rui was a man.

If she were a man too, her life’s trajectory would definitely not be like this.

Tomorrow was the anniversary of her mother’s death. For Xue Ruyun, this time every year was the saddest time, when she would always drink alone at home to drown her sorrows.

Su Rui didn’t know this. He hadn’t carefully observed Xue Ruyun’s eyes, otherwise he would certainly have noticed that deeply hidden trace of sadness.

Perhaps moved by Su Rui’s background, perhaps because tomorrow was her mother’s death anniversary, perhaps due to dissatisfaction with the unfairness of her fate—whatever the reason, Xue Ruyun really wanted to indulge herself today, to get properly drunk, to throw off all shackles and forget all unhappiness.

This man had never had a family since childhood, and what about herself? Even with both parents, why had they left her with so much pain? Those childhood years, those tragic past experiences—Xue Ruyun simply didn’t want to look back.

Looking at the contemplative Xue Ruyun beside him, a light flashed in Su Rui’s eyes, and then he gently patted her arm: “Enchantress sister, tonight you can drink as much as you want. Little brother will not only drink with you but also get you home safely.”

Xue Ruyun turned her face in surprise. She had been acting normally; could Su Rui have noticed something? She had never expressed those feelings flowing in the depths of her heart!

Su Rui smiled slightly: “I really didn’t notice anything.”

Xue Ruyun was speechless. Wasn’t this like admitting guilt without being accused?

As soon as they entered the bar, the deafening sound waves made people completely relax, involuntarily wanting to go wild on the dance floor.

“Let me order for you.” Xue Ruyun sat on a high stool at the bar and said to the bartender: “Two glasses of Rouge Blood.”

Seeing how Xue Ruyun’s luscious buttocks caused the stool to deform upon contact, Su Rui couldn’t help but feel his breath becoming hot. This enchantress was truly alluring in every part of her body.

“Rouge Blood, what kind of drink name is that? It sounds a bit tragic.” Su Rui sat beside Xue Ruyun, looking at her in the light and shadow, muttering the name of the drink as his eyes flashed again.

“Here, try it.” Xue Ruyun took the two glasses handed over by the server. In the transparent stemware was a deep red liquid that truly looked like fresh blood.

Su Rui looked at the glass and suddenly felt a plaintive quality emanating from it.

“This is a very sad drink. The designer must have been in a depressed, sorrowful mood when creating it.”

Su Rui raised his glass, staring at the crimson drink as he spoke.

Hearing this, Xue Ruyun’s body trembled almost imperceptibly!

But this barely noticeable tremor did not escape Su Rui’s eyes.

He smiled slightly, then gently sipped the crimson liquid, frowning slightly before his expression relaxed.

As Su Rui tasted the wine, for some reason, Xue Ruyun sensed an extremely noble aura from him. It was definitely not deliberately affected; this quality unconsciously revealed in his every movement must have come from his very marrow!

“It’s actually quite good. There’s a slight bitterness and spiciness when it first enters the mouth, but once you swallow it, the aftertaste is long-lasting.” Su Rui took another small sip and said: “Very good design.”

Hearing Su Rui’s words, a trace of melancholy flashed in Xue Ruyun’s eyes, and the boundless allure usually present disappeared.

“This is a cocktail I designed. I also named it.” Xue Ruyun said, dropping a bombshell.

“You designed it?”

Su Rui showed slight surprise, because he had already determined that the designer of this cocktail had a bitter past. Only someone with a very different life experience could design such a flavor.

This wasn’t Su Rui showing off; he truly had this ability, with a strong sense for people and even stronger discernment.

He hadn’t expected that the original designer of this drink was actually Xue Ruyun! This incredibly sexy mature woman who always seemed full of charm, this dynamic Marketing Director of Bikang Group, actually had such a past! Such emotions!

Indeed, he had sensed something was off with her earlier outside the bar.
