Chapter 373: It Was Just a Cigarette

Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio

Ji Qian looked at the full bottle and took a deep breath. Even though it was a lot to finish, she would rather drink a new bottle than the glass given by the flowery shirt guy. She did not know these people. She was not sure if they would add something weird into the wine. Thus, to be safe…

“What, do you regret it?” Seeing that Ji Qian paused for a long time, the flowery shirt sneered, “You talked so well. Why don’t you dare to drink it?”

“It’s just a bottle of beer. Why would I be afraid?” Ji Qian raised her head and forced herself to say, “There’s no beer in this world that I don’t dare to drink. Here, I’ll drink it!” She closed her eyes and grabbed the bottle. She gulped as a lot of alcohol slid down her throat, choking her so much that she coughed twice. For people who did not usually drink, the smell of alcohol was very unpleasant.

Ji Qian almost puked. She forced herself to swallow the last mouthful and forcefully wiped her mouth. She slammed the bottle onto the table and said, “Alright, I’ve finished it. Can Zhuang Yu and I leave now?”

“I only said to forgive your impolite attitude if you drink it. Did I say you can leave?” The flowery shirt guy stared at Ji Qian and suddenly burst into laughter. “You’re already here. Why are you in such a hurry to leave? Hey guys, let’s have some fun with Miss Ji.”

“I don’t want to play anymore. My sister-in-law is waiting for me at home.” Ji Qian bit her lip. She tried her best not to show her fear. “You guys should stop. The Ji family and the Zhuang family aren’t pushovers. I’ve given you face, so don’t go overboard.” Little did she realize that her cheeks were slightly flushed after drinking alcohol. Her voice was soft and she looked very tempting.

“Miss Ji, you are already an adult. Don’t act like a child.” The flowery shirt guy smiled as he looked at Ji Qian cynically. “Now, you’re rushing to go home. In a while, you’ll be begging me not to go home.”

“What do you want from me?” Ji Qian was not an idiot. His words made her alert and extra vigilant.

“What else do I want? The Zhuang family and the Ji family are so powerful. I’m just a small potato. How dare I provoke them?” The flowery shirt guy laughed and said hoarsely, “I just want both of you ladies to try some good stuff.” After saying that, he lightly clapped his hands. “Here, give these ladies something to smoke.”

“I don’t smoke!” Ji Qian decisively refused.

“Well, you said that you don’t drink and you’re allergic to alcohol too.” The flowery shirt guy smiled and said, “But you had just finished a bottle of beer. You’re so much better than our brothers here.”

When the others heard this, they could not help but let out strange laughter. Whether they were ready to expose their intentions or they were too lazy to continue pretending, Ji Qian felt very uncomfortable with their gazes. They seemed like they wanted to swallow her. Ji Qian subconsciously clenched her fists and touched Zhuang Yu’s hand. Zhuang Yu was completely drunk. She was half asleep and snoring softly.

Ji Qian’s heart sank. Perhaps, she should not have followed Zhuang Yu. Zhuang Yu was completely drunk right now. Could they escape from here? Or rather… even if she ignored Zhuang Yu, would she be able to leave here alone?

Without waiting for Ji Qian, the flowery shirt guy lost his patience. “What are you waiting for? Hurry up. Let Miss Zhuang and Miss Ji have a taste of how it feels to be on cloud nine.”

On cloud nine? It was just a cigarette, right? Unless… Ji Qian’s eyes widened as she looked at the people around her who were puffing out smoke. She couldn’t help but retch, “No, I don’t want to. I don’t smoke!” She wasn’t sure if these people were taking drugs… If they were, it was an abyss!

Ji Qian had never come into contact with drugs, so she didn’t know if it would be addictive. However, she had received anti-drug education in the country. She knew that it was best to never get involved with this stuff.

“Miss Ji, you’re not that stupid.” The flowery shirt guy decided to stop pretending. He said coldly, “Unfortunately, you don’t have a choice. Someone, light it up for Miss Ji!” He waved his hand. “Also, for Miss Zhuang, take good care of her.”

The others smiled sinisterly and lit two cigarettes. Ji Qian had never hated the smell of cigarettes so much! Looking at Zhuang Yu who was sleeping soundly on the sofa, Ji Qian was about to explode. She gave Zhuang Yu a hard push. “Zhuang Yu! Stop sleeping! You’ll die if you continue sleeping!”
