Give you a heads-up in advance

Su Yang walked over to the wine cabinet, opened a door, and took out a case of imported dark beer.

Carrying the beer to the sofa, he said, "Let's drink this."

"Sounds good."

"Alright, wait here. I'll go get some glasses."

Soon, Su Yang returned with three glasses and some snacks to go with the drinks.

He turned off the main living room lights and switched on the ambient surround lighting. The mood was instantly set.

The faint purple light spilled across the fair faces of the two beautiful women, making them look incredibly alluring.

Su Yang secretly swallowed hard and sat down on the rug opposite them.

Seeing this, the two women also slipped off the sofa and joined him on the rug.

Su Yang opened the beers, and the three of them kept going.

By 3:30 AM, the case of beer was mostly gone. The two girls were leaning against the sofa, swaying unsteadily.

Su Yang's head was spinning heavily and throbbing a bit. He felt that if he drank even two more bottles, he would probably throw up.

He was way past being just tipsy and was starting to feel sick. He quickly activated his Wine God ability to purge the alcohol from his system.

However, the Wine God ability couldn't remove the alcohol instantly; it still took about ten minutes.

Squinting, Su Yang raised his wrist to check the time, then looked at the two women slouched against the sofa, mumbling incoherently.

He stood up, approached them, and called out, "Zilin! Lingxi, are you guys still okay?"

"Okay... still okay. Let's keep drinking!"

"Drink my foot. Hurry up and go to sleep."

"Not sleeping... not sleeping~" Xu Zilin's eyes were already closed, but her mouth was still responding.

On the other side, Ren Lingxi was completely motionless, having fully entered blackout mode.

Su Yang shook his head, rubbed his eyes, and scooped Ren Lingxi up in his arms, heading toward the second floor.

He found a random guest bedroom, laid her on the bed, tucked her in, and then turned to leave.

He went back downstairs to Xu Zilin. Just as he was about to pick her up, he suddenly stopped and thought to himself: Wait. Based on my past two experiences, her alter ego is most likely to come out when her main personality is drunk.

If I try to carry her, her sister will probably—no, definitely—come out. Then I'll have to fight her again. Damn it, what should I do?

Su Yang stared at the unconscious Xu Zilin slumped over the edge of the sofa, deep in thought.

But I can't just let her sleep here all night either. Screw it, whatever. Having made up his mind, Su Yang quickly approached Xu Zilin and lifted her into his arms.

Xu Zilin's head rested against Su Yang's chest. Her eyes didn't suddenly snap open like they had before.

Su Yang looked down at her and called out tentatively, "Zining? You're not out, are you? Your sister is drunk, so I'm carrying her to bed now. Don't pop out and scare me. I'm giving you a heads-up."

Su Yang kept a close eye on Xu Zilin as he spoke. Seeing no reaction, he breathed a sigh of relief and quickly carried her up to the second floor.

Entering the room next to Ren Lingxi's, Su Yang was just about to place Xu Zilin on the bed when she opened her eyes without any warning.

Su Yang shuddered. He hastily looked at Xu Zilin in his arms, but the moment their eyes met, he could tell that the person looking back was not Xu Zining.

Because Xu Zining's eyes would never hold such tenderness.

Su Yang smiled and asked, "Why are you awake?"

Xu Zilin stared at Su Yang with blurry, affectionate eyes and didn't answer.

Su Yang placed her down on the bed.

The moment Xu Zilin's back touched the mattress, she suddenly grabbed the back of Su Yang's neck, pulled him close, closed her eyes, and kissed him.

Su Yang was caught completely off guard.

However, the alcohol in his system hadn't fully dissipated yet. In a rush of heat, he went with the flow and embraced her.

Just as things were heating up and he was preparing for the next step, Xu Zilin suddenly opened her eyes again.

Bang!

The moment Su Yang sensed something was wrong, he was shoved off the bed by a massive force.

Immediately after, a bloodcurdling scream echoed through the room. "I'll kill you!!!"

"Holy mother of—!!" Su Yang already knew who it was now. He quickly scrambled to his feet. Before Xu Zining's flying kick could plant itself on his face, he lunged at the bed and struck first, delivering a measured karate chop to the back of her neck.

Xu Zining's body instantly went limp. She closed her eyes and passed out on the bed.

Seeing this, Su Yang let out a sigh of relief. But after that disruption, the passionate mood from moments ago was completely gone.

He stared speechlessly at Xu Zining collapsed on the bed.

"Damn it! You couldn't come out earlier or later, you just had to come out at the critical moment."

Su Yang stared at her for a few seconds before rolling her onto her back. He then pulled the covers over her and quickly left the room.

"This Xu Zining is such a nuisance!! So annoying!"

Su Yang sighed and went downstairs to the living room. By this time, the Wine God ability had essentially cleared all the alcohol from his system.

However, he was too lazy to clean up and decided to leave it for tomorrow. After taking a sip of water, he returned to his own room, took a shower, and went to sleep.

The night passed without incident.

At nine o'clock the next morning, there was a loud knocking on his bedroom door.

"Brother Su Yang!! Are you in there?"

Ren Lingxi's voice called out from outside.

Su Yang frowned, squinted, and replied, "I'm here, I'm here. What's up?"

"Aren't you getting up? We're getting ready to leave."

"Leave for where?"

"Going home. We've already cleaned up the living room. Sorry for the trouble last night~"

"No need to be polite. Wait a sec," Su Yang said as he threw off the covers and got out of bed.

However, just as he stood up, the bedroom door was pushed open from the outside by Ren Lingxi.

Su Yang had gone straight to bed after his shower last night, so he wasn't wearing anything at all.

At that moment, Ren Lingxi, standing in the doorway, locked eyes with him.

Ren Lingxi stared at Su Yang in a daze, looking him up and down. Then, suddenly realizing what she was looking at, her face visibly flushed crimson. Without saying a word, she slammed the door shut.

Having just woken up, Su Yang was also a bit groggy. It took him a moment to realize he had been seen completely naked. Oh well, it didn't matter. She saw what she saw; what else could he do?

He chuckled, quickly washed up, put on some clothes, and walked out of the bedroom into the living room.

Right now, Ren Lingxi was hiding beside Xu Zilin like a frightened little rabbit.

Seeing this, Xu Zilin asked, "What's wrong with you?"

Ren Lingxi quietly whispered what had just happened, and Xu Zilin immediately covered her mouth and started laughing.

"You're so reckless. Why did you open the door and go in?"

"I misheard him. I thought he told me to come in."

...

Su Yang heard their entire conversation, but he didn't say anything. Acting as if nothing had happened, he walked up to them. "You guys are leaving right now?"

Xu Zilin glanced at Su Yang. Naturally, she hadn't forgotten about last night, even though nothing ultimately happened.

But thinking about how she had been the one to initiate the kiss, she still felt a bit shy.

Ren Lingxi replied, "Yeah, we're getting ready to head out."

"What's the rush? Have some breakfast before you go. I have to head out later anyway, so I can drop you off on the way."

"That works."

Su Yang quickly went to the kitchen and whipped up three portions of breakfast. After eating, the three of them had a cup of coffee.

At ten-thirty, Su Yang drove the two of them out of the villa district.

Once they hit the main road, Xu Zilin said, "Same as always, we'll just get off here. You go handle your business."

"I'm heading to Lianwu Lake right now. Where do you guys live?"

"We both live in Yonghe District~"

"Then don't get out of the car. I'm passing through Yonghe District, so I'll drop you guys off on the way."

"Alright."

Soon, Su Yang dropped the two of them off at the gates of their respective residential areas one after another, and then drove towards Lianwu Lake.

Today, he was still driving the Bentley Bentayga. He also planned to find some time to move the cars from Senhai Manor back to the villa.

The main reason was that cars were prone to breaking down if they were left undriven for a long time.

The Cullinan had also been shipped back on the second day after they returned to Haicheng and sent to the shop for repairs. It was estimated that he could pick it up tomorrow.

Over forty minutes later, at 12:15 PM, Su Yang drove to the gate of the courtyard he had purchased.

Even before entering, he could see the beautiful three-story house in the courtyard from the car.

From the outside, the house had a very strong sense of design. Compared with the ordinary two- or three-story courtyards around it, it was obviously much more beautiful.

It looked like a high-end single-family villa. The main body of the house's walls was milky white, accented with brown, and the windows were mostly large floor-to-ceiling windows.

However, the overall style was Chinese, with black tiles laid on the eaves of the second floor and the roof of the third floor.

He had spent a lot of money on this house before, so overall, the design was quite good.

At this time, the courtyard gate was wide open. Su Yang drove the car into the courtyard, and two men in suits stepped out of another Audi A6.

Su Yang greeted the two managers, exchanged a few simple pleasantries, and then prepared to go inside to inspect and accept the house.

Su Yang had previously said that there was no need for any ceremony, so the two of them didn't arrange one.

Half an hour later, the house inspection was completed, and the two managers in charge of this house drove away.

As soon as the two left, the system's voice sounded in Su Yang's mind.

[Ding! Detected that the Lianwu Lake Courtyard task has been completed. Rewarding 100 million. The bonus has arrived in your account.]

Hearing this, the corners of Su Yang's mouth curled up unconsciously.

He took out a cigarette, walked to a chair next to a bunch of flowers and plants on the left side of the courtyard, and sat down.

He looked up and down, left and right, examining the whole house and courtyard, and nodded in satisfaction.

—System, check the latest balance.

[Balance: 882,595,966 yuan]

—Holy crap! Before I knew it, I'm almost at a billion! I should be considered a minor tycoon now, right?

—Oh right, after the task at the race track is done, a few more will come in. Not bad, not bad. Eh? Why hasn't Old Meng called yet?

Just as he was thinking this, his cell phone rang.
