Su Yanyi also seemed particularly fond of showing off her affection, because just thinking about Wang Zhilin fainting from anger in the hospital after seeing those photos made her very happy, and she cared even less about those people sneakily taking and posting photos of her and Qin Jiran.
Indeed, Wang Zhilin’s condition was just as Su Yanyi had hoped. Although she wasn’t exaggerated to the point of fainting from a fit of anger, every time she saw the photos of the couple and heard others praising their affectionate looks and perfect pairing, she got incredibly angry. To the extent that the doctors were contemplating banning her from receiving such messages, for they were detrimental to her recovery. Plus, though the hospital room’s amenities weren’t abundant, they still cost money. Even if you were to pay for damages after smashing them, someone still had to go out and buy replacements!
Ever since Wang Zhilin was admitted to this hospital room, its decorations had been replaced batch after batch, what with the rich lady’s increasingly poor temper.
"President Su, have a beer, it goes best with barbecue," Guo Kaize obsequiously poured Su Yanyi a glass of beer; he had to take good care of his boss after all.
"You want to drink? Why not have baijiu instead? Baijiu won’t cool down after heating; beer is too cold." Seeing that Su Yanyi was interested in drinking, Qin Jiran suggested from the side. The weather was rather cold, so it wasn’t suitable to drink draft beer—baijiu would be better.
Qin Jiran obviously had Su Yanyi’s health in mind, but Guo Zekai seemed to have thought of something, his eyes lighting up with glee. He said earnestly, "Yeah, let’s drink baijiu, baijiu is good."
Guo Zekai then took away the beer and, acting quite sycophantic, poured Su Yanyi a glass of baijiu instead.
Su Yanyi, who hadn’t noticed Guo Zekai’s expression, just thought that the warm baijiu felt more comfortable than beer and casually started drinking.
Su Yanyi’s alcohol tolerance was quite remarkable; she could drink baijiu, beer, and wine without much thought—just drinking for the sake of drinking.
"Jiran, since President Su has already drunk, you should join in too. We haven’t really drunk together before," Guo Zekai saw this as an opportunity—to watch the two of them get drunk, then snap a few more photos to keep as mementos. It would be so loving.
In fact, the idea of drinking wasn’t solely Guo Zekai’s; many people around had suggested it, as both Su Yanyi and Qin Jiran were regarded as the cool types, and there were plenty who wanted to see the two of them let loose a little.
Qin Jiran glanced at Guo Zekai, understanding that he had ulterior motives but didn’t refuse either. As Guo Zekai said, since Yanyi had drunk, he naturally needed to accompany her.
Qin Jiran poured himself a glass of baijiu, slowly drinking with Su Yanyi. When their eyes met, they naturally clinked glasses, creating a very warm atmosphere around them.
Fan Linger sneakily grabbed a plate of barbecued meat and quietly left the table. For some reason, she had a sense of impending danger and decided that retreat was the best strategy.
Guo Zekai, trying to get them drunk, started drinking with them under various pretexts. At first, Su Yanyi hadn’t noticed, but after a couple of drinks she realized his intention and couldn’t help but find it amusing.
"Yanyi, drink less," advised Qin Jiran. "Director Guo can handle a thousand cups without getting drunk." Drinking a little was beneficial to one’s health, but too much was harmful. He did not want Yanyi to get drunk, remembering how miserable she felt after her last drunken episode.
The words "handle a thousand cups without getting drunk" truly served as a reminder to Su Yanyi, making her suddenly remember the Hangover Cure Potion stored in her System Space. Should she find an opportunity to drink it and let Director Guo, who never gets drunk, experience the taste of a hangover?
A sly glint flashed in Su Yanyi’s eyes. Seizing the opportunity to go to the restroom, she drank the Hangover Cure Potion, then she started to engage Guo Zekai.
Qin Jiran tried to persuade them for a bit, to no avail. He then thought about blocking drinks for Su Yanyi, but his offer was rejected. Helplessly, he began to drink more with Guo Zekai, hoping to get Guo Zekai drunk, which would then stop Yanyi from drinking. But as he kept toasting, he found himself drinking as well, and while Su Yanyi was fine, by the time Guo Zekai collapsed, Qin Jiran was also swaying.
