Chapter 163 - Beach Vacation

“Care to have a few drinks?” Rong Yan fiddled with the glass of alcohol in his hand, but did not drink it.

Mo Qiange grabbed the glass of wine on the table and said, “No problem, of course.”

They clinked glasses and Rong Yan smirked while Mo Qiange put on a faint smile. The two of them seemed to be challenging each other.

After finishing the glass of wine, Rong Yan fiddled with the glass again and glanced at Luo Anning who was drinking to her heart’s content. He then slowly said, “CEO Mo, you shouldn’t covet something that doesn’t belong to you. It’s better to put those thoughts away.”

Mo Qiange snickered and asked, “How do I do that?”

Rong Yan retorted coldly, “CEO Mo, do you mean you’re intending to woo Anning?”

Mo Qiange sneered, “Young Master Rong, are you intimidated? Anning doesn’t love you at all. You two are only married in name. You know that better than anyone else. So, Young Master Rong, stop saying such hilarious things, lest I get mistaken and think that you and Anning have feelings for each other.”

“Intimidated? There’s nothing in this world that I’m afraid of. That’s all I have to say. I’ve never liked having others covet the things I own. Otherwise, I’ll ruin her,” Rong Yan sneered.

Mo Qiange tightened his grip on his glass as the veins on his hand began to bulge. Is he threatening me?

Very good. Rong Yan really lives up to expectations. He knows what my Achilles’ heel is!

Seeing that Mo Qiange was trying his best to control his expression, Rong Yan nodded in satisfaction.

“CEO Mo, if you don’t mind, I plan to take Anning on a beach vacation in a couple more days. I intend to take it as a chance to unwind and relax. I believe she hopes to have the companionship of you guys too since you’re her friends.” He emphasized on the word, ‘friends’.

He was hinting that Mo Qiange and Luo Anning were just friends and nothing more.

Mo Qiange smirked and thought to himself, does he think I’m going to back off just like that?

Hah, I’ve never backed off before.

It’s just a vacation to the beach, isn’t it? I’ll go then. What’s the harm?

Not only am I going to tag along. I’m going to take the chance to spend more time with Anning and treasure every moment I have with her. Since he wants to make me give up by pulling such a trick, I shall make life hard for him!

“No problem. I happen to want to go out and get a breather too. You’re really considerate, Young Master Rong. Besides, Anning values her friendship with us greatly. She won’t go unless we do.”

“That’s great.” Rong Yan had a mysterious gaze in his eyes which made it hard for anyone to guess what he was thinking.

…

“Don’t vie with me for the alcohol. Let me have it.”

Luo Anning had gotten high off drinking and her words began to become slurred too. However, she was still extremely stubborn and forcefully pushed the people away from her in a bid to grab the wine from the table.

“Luo Anning, stop drinking. Or else, do you dare believe that I’ll drown you in this wine barrel tonight!?!” Rong Yan suddenly barked.

He actually failed to stop her from drinking too much. This damned Tang Chao. Is he going to be as insensible as Luo Anning!?!

Tang Chao was seriously drunk too. However, he did not feel a tinge of guilt at all after discovering the blaming gaze in Rong Yan’s eyes. He even blamed Luo Anning. “It’s not my fault, it’s hers… she was the one who insisted on drinking. I was just playing along. If you must blame someone, blame your wife.”

Rong Yan kicked him and hollered, “Would she have fought you if you didn’t provoke her!?!”

Tang Chao winced in pain and rubbed the painful spot which Rong Yan kicked. He retorted dauntlessly, “You value your wife over your friends. Fine, fine, it’s my fault. You’ll definitely choose to abandon me over your pampered and fragile wife.”
