Chen Mo quickly reached out to support Li Wanqi's body, preventing her from falling to the ground.
"Why does everything feel like it's spinning?" Li Wanqi asked, her eyes hazy with confusion.
Chen Mo quickly snatched the wine glass from Li Wanqi's hand.
At the same time, he advised, "Stop drinking. You're drunk."
"Drunk? I only had a sip. How could I be drunk? I can still drink. I'm just very happy today."
As she spoke, Li Wanqi picked up the half-bottle of Remy Martin in front of her and downed it all in one go.
The surrounding classmates watched, utterly stunned.
That was strong liquor. They never expected the gentle-looking Li Wanqi to dare to drink straight from the bottle!
Chen Mo held the wine glass in one hand and supported Li Wanqi with the other, making it impossible for him to snatch the wine from her hand.
He could only watch helplessly as Li Wanqi finished the entire bottle.
"Hic!"
Li Wanqi let out a burp, her delicate brows furrowed in discomfort.
After finishing, Li Wanqi reached for the wine again.
However, this time Chen Mo had recovered and quickly put down the wine glass, grabbing Li Wanqi's wrist.
"Chen Mo, why are you holding me? Aren't you afraid your girlfriend will be jealous?" Li Wanqi asked hazily.
"You've had too much to drink," Chen Mo said with a frown.
"No, I haven't. I've only had one bottle. How can I be drunk? I can still drink a lot."
Chen Mo then scooped up the heavily intoxicated Li Wanqi.
Chen Mo looked at his classmates. "You guys continue. I'll take her back to rest first."
Chang Wei and the others nodded. "Brother Mo, you go ahead. Don't worry about us."
"Yeah, yeah!"
Everyone else nodded in agreement.
Chen Mo didn't say anything else and carried Li Wanqi out of the private room.
He remembered there was a hotel nearby, also an establishment owned by Ma Sihai.
The manager outside the door saw Chen Mo carrying out a drunken woman and personally escorted Chen Mo to the hotel.
Chen Mo arrived at the room and placed Li Wanqi on the bed.
Li Wanqi was already unconscious from drinking, her body limp. She would likely have trouble even walking.
Chen Mo got Li Wanqi a glass of hot water.
He placed it by her bedside.
After doing this, Chen Mo turned to leave the room.
Chen Mo would naturally not take advantage of the situation. Moreover, Chen Mo had no feelings for Li Wanqi beyond that of classmates.
"Chen Mo."
Just as Chen Mo was about to leave, Li Wanqi's voice suddenly rang out from behind him.
Chen Mo turned to look.
He saw Li Wanqi speaking hazily, "Chen Mo, do you remember in our first year, when I fainted during PE class, and you carried me to the infirmary? I fell in love with you then."
"But, but, I have a heart condition, and I didn't know how long I would live, so I never said anything. Now that my illness is cured, I, I like you."
Chen Mo's body trembled upon hearing this.
He hadn't expected Li Wanqi to like him, and had done so since their first year.
No wonder Li Wanqi had protected him even when she was trembling with fear.
"Chen Mo, I can finally say it. Because my illness is cured, I like you, I like you."
After uttering the last sentence, Li Wanqi had already fallen into a deep sleep.
Looking at Li Wanqi sleeping on the bed, Chen Mo said nothing.
Because Chen Mo knew that he already had enough women around him, and he couldn't give Li Wanqi his complete love. Furthermore, he couldn't hurt Meng Yao and the others for Li Wanqi's sake.
Also, being with him meant constant danger.
Therefore, Chen Mo pretended he hadn't heard her words and turned to leave the room directly.
"You brat, just leaving like that, no regrets?" The Ancestor's voice suddenly echoed in his mind.
Chen Mo gave a wry smile. "What's there to regret? The women I have now are already enough to keep me on my toes."
"Moreover, my current strength isn't enough to protect them."
"You do have some self-awareness, I suppose." The Ancestor replied.
Leaving the hotel, Chen Mo did not return to the bar.
The man in the suit standing outside the hotel looked somewhat surprised to see Chen Mo emerge.
He had expected Chen Mo to leave no earlier than the next morning.
After all, the woman had a decent figure and face.
Chen Mo instructed, "Tomorrow morning, send someone to bring her some congee and breakfast, and then send her back."
"Yes, Mr. Chen." The man in the suit quickly complied.
Without another word, Chen Mo turned and walked directly to his BMW.
Because Chen Mo had drunk alcohol, the man in the suit quickly drove Chen Mo back to the villa.
Meanwhile.
In a rented apartment in the suburbs of Longhua.
A woman was busy in the kitchen.
Two steaks, candles, and a bottle of champagne taken from the refrigerator were laid out, creating a rather festive atmosphere.
Thinking about becoming a millionaire soon, the woman's face was filled with excitement.
She checked the time; it was two in the morning.
Her boyfriend usually came home around this time.
"Bang bang bang."
The door was suddenly knocked.
The woman's face lit up with excitement. She tidied her sexy attire, then stood up and walked towards the door.
"Honey, why are you back so late? You..."
The woman said with a fawning expression.
However, in the very next second.
"Ah!"
The woman let out a sudden scream.
Because in front of her stood a group of people.
Between two burly men, they were dragging a man covered in wounds.
And that man was her boyfriend!
"Are you Jiang Xiaohan?" the leading burly man asked.
Jiang Xiaohan trembled all over with fear and nodded hesitantly, "Yes, it's me. Who, who are you people?!"
She then pointed at the man being dragged, "Do you know who my boyfriend is?! He knows the manager of Ma Ye's bar! You, you dare to hit him, you, you're tired of living!"
The leading burly man's lips curved into a slight arc. "Coincidentally, we are the bar's security guards."
"You, you're the bar's security guards!" Jiang Xiaohan looked somewhat bewildered.
"That's right," the leading security guard replied.
Jiang Xiaohan asked in confusion, "But, but this isn't right. My, my boyfriend has a very good relationship with your manager. How could this situation happen?"
"Heh, isn't it all because of you?" the security guard sneered.
"Because of me? This, how is this possible!" Jiang Xiaohan's eyes widened in shock.
The security guard pointed at the man behind him. "You instigated him to con Mr. Chen out of money by selling him expensive wine, didn't you?"
"Mr. Chen?" Jiang Xiaohan blinked.
Faced with this respectful title, Jiang Xiaohan couldn't immediately think of Chen Mo.
The security guard nodded. "To tell you the truth, Mr. Chen is a VIP at our bar. Let alone our manager, even our boss, Ma Ye himself, would have to be respectful. You dare to cause trouble for him? Your guts are not ordinary!"
