Chapter 10

The guys stiffened up. "Sorry, we didn't know these two girls were already taken. Young Master Sen, hope you have a good time tonight." They cued each other with a wink and started to walk away.

"What are you afraid of? It's such a rare opportunity for everyone to hang out together. Just stay and party hard," Lily interrupted them from leaving. Apparently, it seems as if Shu Kori and Su Luo were powerful people because even these rich guys had to show them respect.

As soon as the invitation left Lily's mouth, the rich guys looked at each other then glanced at Su Luo and Shu Kori. They let out a forced laugh.

Smiling, Lily waved her hand in the air. The server, who was standing by all this time, came over with a round of alcohol. With a smirk, Lily said, "Thanks for your guys' help today. Xia Lin can't hold her liquor so I will drink in her stead. I'll drink first." Lily poured back the alcohol, emptying the contents. The guys looked at one another, smiled as they all picked up a glass of wine and drank it. Lily smiled sinisterly. Confirming that they've finished the drinks, she turned her attention elsewhere. Meanwhile, the rich guys laughed and excused themselves towards the dance floor, hoping to find an escape.

On the other hand, Lily had her back towards them as she lowered her voice and whispered a few words to the server. The server nodded happily then left.

"Lily, you're so evil." Zhong Ni finally appeared. He had been hiding at the corner of the bar and watching the fun scene. Coincidentally he had overheard what Lily said to the server.

Lily merely shrugged her shoulders and didn't retort.

Standing on the side, Shu Kori asked, "What is it?"

Seeing that Lily had no intention to keep it a secret, Zhong Ni went ahead and told everyone what he had heard. When Lily was still on the dance floor, she had already seen those guys forcing drinks on Xia Lin. With years of experience on the streets, Lily had correctly guessed what their intentions were. Therefore, she had immediately prepared a plan to deal with them.

The alcohol that those guys had consumed was spiked ten times more than what they had given her. This bar had many types of women. Whether those guys were going to be beaten up or minced, forced to compensate a huge sum of money or infected with some sort of disease, it had nothing to do with Lily. She was merely giving them a gentle reminder.

Shu Kori furrowed his brows and looked at Lily. This girl wasn't a fool but she was surely wicked. Only Lily would come up with that kind of trick. Standing beside Xia Lin, Su Luo touched his chin but said nothing.

"Lily, are you okay?" Finally understanding the situation, Xia Lin looked at Lily with panic.

In response to Xia Lin's worried and regretful countenance, Lily simply smiled. "If you can't stand the heat then get out of the kitchen." Despite growing up abroad, Lily had read Chinese literature before. Knowing there are tigers in the mountain but still volunteer to go is an idiotic thing to do. Of course, she must be capable to handle the situation in order to drink that glass of wine. There was no way Lily was going to sacrifice herself for someone else.

In this crowded and noisy place, nobody took notice of the small pool of liquid next to Lily's foot.

"Hey, isn't that Qi? Qi, where have you been? Why didn't you look for me?" A whiny voice flew into the scene causing everyone to shudder.

Lily and Xiu Shiu lifted their heads and saw a flirtatious woman. She shoved the man beside her off and rushed over towards Shu Kori excitedly. She hooked her arms around Shu Kori's and pouted. "Qi, I miss you so much yet you didn't look for me at all! So mean!"

Lily had goosebumps all over. One look at the woman and it was obvious she was the experienced type. However, she was acting as if she was innocent and naïve. Suddenly Lily felt contempt towards Shu Kori. What was wrong with his eyes? Out of reflex, she scooted further away from him, the further the better. Lily also caught Su Luo and Xia Lin's scornful looks. They were also horrified as they quietly turned away and picked up their alcohol. Only Zhong Ni was interested and kept observing.

Shu Kori looked at the pretty but whiny and clingy woman on his arm. He truly did not remember this woman. When it came to beautiful women, he had plenty. He changed girls as if they were his clothes, which was why he couldn't remember this particular woman. Nonetheless he maintained his gallantry, playboy persona. "Gorgeous, I–"

"Qi, is that you? Oh my god, I've been looking for you for so long. God really has eyes to let me run into you today!"

Shu Kori didn't get to finish his sentence as another beautiful and voluptuous woman rushed towards him like an arrow and clung to his other arm.

"Who are you?" The first woman demanded angrily.

The voluptuous woman retorted, "Who are you?"

"I'm Qi's girlfriend."

"You? How absurd! Why don't you take a look at yourself in the mirror? Why would Qi pick someone like you for a girlfriend? To say that is an embarrassment to Qi."

As the argument intensified from a verbal war into a physical fight, Lily quickly moved away from the crime scene. Xia Lin and Su Luo moved away as well. Even Zhong Ni was scared, but he chose a safe corner and continued to watch the exciting drama unfold.

"Seriously this Shu Kori guy. I've reminded him so many times to not go around dating several girls at once. Something like this always happens. Doesn't he feel troublesome? He really doesn't know how to reflect on his behaviour." Xia Lin glared at Shu Kori who was standing calmly beside the two heated women going at it with each other.
