Uh, Xiao Yun was taken aback by Drunken Lady's words. Was she really going to take out all her frustrations from Meng Hao on Fire Phoenix?
Looking at Fire Phoenix's expression, she appeared completely unfazed, not taking Drunken Lady's provocation seriously at all.
The calmer Fire Phoenix remained, the more irritated Drunken Lady felt, yet she maintained a smiling facade and asked, "What's wrong? Are you scared?"
"Who said I’m scared?" Fire Phoenix replied with a smile.
Seventh Master, however, watched Second Girl with great interest and said, "Alright, both of you are maintaining your feminine grace. I'll have someone bring the drinks."
Drunken Lady lightly raised her hand and said, "Bring me and Mr. Lu two bottles of high-proof liquor each!"
"No, make it four bottles for each!" Seeing Fire Phoenix's determination, it seemed like she was ready to go head-to-head with Drunken Lady.
Wow, can Fire Phoenix really drink that much?
Are these two competing in drinking or risking their lives?
Xiao Yun started to feel uneasy. Was Fire Phoenix really going to stubbornly act tough? Four bottles of high-proof liquor meant four jin!
That was too reckless!
Regardless, Xiao Yun knew very well that he had brought Fire Phoenix to Seventh Master’s place. If anything went wrong and she ended up seriously injured or passed out drunk, he wouldn’t be able to bear the consequences.
"President Misaki Matsunoya, Drunken Flower Beauty is famous for her drinking ability around Sapporo. I think you should reconsider competing!" Xiao Yun hurriedly tried to stop her.
To his surprise, Fire Phoenix glared at Xiao Yun with wide eyes and questioned, "Long San Ge, do you look down on me?"
Mud Horse, I’m trying to protect you! How can you be so ungrateful?
Seeing Fire Phoenix’s slightly angry expression, Xiao Yun shook his head secretly and smiled, "I’m not looking down on you; I’m just worried you can't handle it!"
"So, you really care about me?" In the blink of an eye, Fire Phoenix smiled brightly at Xiao Yun and giggled charmingly.
Xiao Yun replied, "Yes, I have good intentions!"
Fire Phoenix, with a radiant smile, said, "Long San Ge, your feelings are remembered by Sister!"
Seeing the flirtation between the two, Drunken Lady felt a surge of jealousy and cursed inwardly. This pair of shameless lovers dared to act so openly in front of me; it's infuriating!
Her resentment towards Fire Phoenix was even stronger.
Clearly, Seventh Master was also displeased by Fire Phoenix's provocation. His eyebrows twitched several times, and a hint of coldness flashed in his eyes that was hard to detect.
However, Drunken Lady was a well-known woman in Sapporo. Despite her inner anger, she maintained her composure and smiled, saying, "Long San, since Miss Akiko is willing to accept my challenge, she must be confident. Why do you need to interfere?"
In her view, Fire Phoenix was merely putting on a brave front in front of Xiao Yun because she couldn't let go of her pride as a female boss. That was why she accepted the challenge.
Drunken Lady wanted this outcome to give this reckless woman a taste of reality.
Hmph, daring to compete with me for Long San? You'll regret it!
Sitting nearby, Seventh Master understood Drunken Lady's thoughts after hearing her words and chimed in with a smile, "Yes, Charming Jade has a point. Mr. Long, let's sit back and be judges for them!"
Just moments ago, Seventh Master had been trembling with anger over Meng Hao's antics; now he seemed invigorated as if he had been given a shot of adrenaline. His dark and thin face appeared more animated.
Xiao Yun wasn't interested in this at all. Unfortunately, Fire Phoenix seemed particularly keen on Drunken Lady's challenge, leaving him in a dilemma. After hearing Seventh Master's words, he genuinely didn't know what to say.
"Perfect Young Master, are you worried about your Beautiful CEO? Afraid she'll drink too much and you'll feel bad?" Drunken Lady asked Xiao Yun playfully while feeling jealous.
"N... no..." Xiao Yun was somewhat speechless.
Suddenly, Fire Phoenix laughed like a sly fox. It seemed she intended to provoke Drunken Lady's jealousy further as she leaned closer to Xiao Yun and sweetly said, "Long San Ge, don't worry! Sister can hold her liquor too. When I was abroad, I once outdrank three foreigners by myself. I noticed when I first arrived at Paradise Beauty Club that you were looking at me differently—you like me, don't you? Well then, since I've agreed to compete with Drunken Lady in drinking, just trust my capacity for alcohol this once, okay?"
——What the hell is going on with Fire Phoenix? Hearing this, Xiao Yun felt his bones go soft, nearly collapsing to the ground.
This woman’s act of being coy was simply a deadly weapon against men.
Xiao Yun could never have imagined that Fire Phoenix would pull such a stunt in front of Seventh Master and Drunken Lady. Frenzied Sweat—he pulled a napkin from the table and wiped the sweat off his face vigorously.
Drunken Lady looked somewhat displeased.
At the same time that Drunken Lady's expression darkened, Seventh Master's face also grew grim.
However, Fire Phoenix completely ignored the two of them and asked Xiao Yun: “Long San Ge, are you really worried about me?”
How could I not be worried? If you really get drunk to death, damn it, I won't be able to escape!
Sigh, how did I end up with such a weirdo? Xiao Yun felt embarrassed!
Xiao Yun touched his nose and said, “I really am!”
“Really? Oh my, Drunken Lady, then I won’t compete with you in drinking!” Fire Phoenix laughed playfully at Drunken Lady.
Drunken Lady, suppressing her anger, asked: “Why not?”
Fire Phoenix gazed affectionately at Xiao Yun and said, “I’m afraid my brother will get angry!”
Drunken Lady was nearly furious to the point of exploding.
A new Boss referring to a mere gatekeeper in her company as brother—what does that mean?
Did this Miyoko Matsuno see through her intention to win over Xiao Yun?
Coincidentally, a maid brought in six bottles of wine.
Looking at the six bottles of wine, Drunken Lady asked Fire Phoenix, "Have you really withdrawn?"
"Yes, Drunken Lady. I've heard a lot about you and know your drinking capacity is impressive. I wanted to challenge you to a drinking contest, but I know that Long San Ge is a considerate person. He worries that I might drink too much. Well, how about this? I don't want to put him in a difficult position. Let's have a private match another day."
Drunken Lady shot a fierce look at Miyoko Matsuno, who calmly and playfully met her gaze, her eyes occasionally sparkling with mischief and a smug smile playing on her lips.
In front of this Island Nation woman, Drunken Lady had to admit that even though she hadn't competed in drinking yet, she had already lost in terms of presence.
It seemed that Miyoko Matsuno had seen through her concern for Xiao Yun and had cleverly used Xiao Yun as an excuse to withdraw from the drinking contest, turning the situation around and striking back at her.
At this moment, even Seventh Master felt somewhat embarrassed. Just earlier, he had told Xiao Yun he would act as a referee, and now this Beautiful CEO used Xiao Yun as an excuse to back out, which felt like a slap in the face to him.
And that slap was definitely not any lighter than the one Seventh Master had given Meng Hao.
After hearing Fire Phoenix's words, Drunken Lady seemed to grit her teeth and asked, "Miss Akiko, as far as I know, you just arrived here from Tokyo today. Why do you seem so concerned about Mr. Long's feelings upon our first meeting? Isn't your relationship developing a bit too quickly?"
Upon hearing this question, a cold glint flashed in Seventh Master's eyes as he turned to look at Fire Phoenix, waiting for her response.
Xiao Yun's heart skipped a beat; how did Drunken Lady come up with that question?
—How would Fire Phoenix respond to Drunken Lady's inquiry?
