No matter how carefully he guarded against it, Wang Xing was unexpectedly set up by Li Zijun. He could almost picture the consequences once his mom found out about this.

But by a twist of fate, he also learned that Uncle Li had always harbored such intentions. He couldn't help but feel that he would have to disappoint the old man because he couldn't risk the latter half of his life on Li Zijun having a conscience.

Otherwise, if he got domestically abused, he wouldn't even have anywhere to complain.

That night, Li Maoquan brought out two bottles of premium liquor. At the Li family's place, he had a sumptuous dinner. Aunt Liu cooked all the dishes he liked. Despite his low alcohol tolerance, he drank with Uncle Li until ten at night.

Although he didn't vomit when he left, he could no longer walk in a straight line and was unusually a bit out of it. In the end, it was Li Zijun who drove him back, and Uncle Li even sent him off with a piece of his own calligraphy, which Wang Xing didn't pay much attention to.

It wasn't until ten the next morning that Su Qing finally woke up, feeling a bit dizzy but otherwise fine.

Helplessly, he turned over, preparing to snooze some more, but at that moment, two long hairs on the pillow caught his attention, and faintly, he could smell a subtle fragrance, like that of shower gel.

"Damn it, did I make a mistake last night?" Thinking this, Su Qing suddenly sat up, realizing that his clothes were intact, which reassured him a bit.

There was a woman's long hair in his bed, and there was a distinct scent of shower gel that wasn't his, which snapped him awake immediately.

You couldn't blame him for his thoughts; he vaguely remembered that Li Zijun drove him home from dinner last night. If he had messed up, he'd be done for.

He then picked up his phone on the side and saw that he already had three missed calls, all from Li Zijun, which made him even more anxious.

After hesitating for a while, he finally called back.

"Sister Zijun?" The call connected, and Su Qing called out anxiously.

There was a three-second silence from the other side of the phone, and just as he thought it was a signal issue, Li Zijun's voice came through:

"Hey, isn't this my dear uncle? You're finally awake?"

Hearing this, Su Qing's mind went blank. Uncle? Did he dial the wrong number?

"Did I dial the wrong number?"

"It's me, uncle. You've even forgotten my voice." Li Zijun continued on the other end of the line.

At this, Su Qing was completely confused. Why was she suddenly calling him uncle, and with such a sarcastic tone? It felt like a volcano was about to erupt.

"Sister... Sister Zijun, are you okay?" Su Qing asked cautiously.

Upon hearing this, Li Zijun, who was at the police station, laughed out of anger, her pretty face flushed red, and she sneered, "What could possibly be wrong with me? What, you've forgotten about the mischief you got up to yesterday?"

Su Qing was shocked; did he actually do something yesterday? It can't be; a drunk person shouldn't have that ability, right?

"What did I do?"

Hearing this, Li Zijun at the police station took a deep breath, her chest heaving violently, and after several deep breaths, she continued:

"From now on, stay away from my dad. And by the way, stay away from your dad too. I don't want to see you in the hospital."

Upon hearing this, Su Qing began to tremble. Did Li Zijun report him? No, wait, she's the police.

"Sister, I drank a bit too much yesterday and wasn't very lucid. If I did something wrong, please be lenient with me!" Su Qing said, trembling.

"No need. Just stay away from my dad in the future. I realized you two definitely shouldn't be drinking together. You know, yesterday you and my dad became sworn brothers, and you even included your dad in absentia, with my dad as the eldest, you the second, and your dad the third." Li Zijun said with a cold laugh.

Su Qing: (ΩДΩ)

In an instant, his whole mind went blank, his brain racing to recall the latter part of last night's dinner, but he really couldn't remember much.

When did he become sworn brothers with Uncle Li, and even included his dad in absentia? The most crucial thing is, he's the second, and his dad would have to call him Big Brother. If Old Su found out, he might just kill him.

"No way, besides... it's all just drunken talk, it doesn't count," Su Qing said, his throat dry, even though it was summer, he felt a chill.

"Doesn't count? Ha~ I forgot to tell you, yesterday my dad gave me to you." Li Zijun continued on the other end of the line.

Su Qing: "Gave you to me? Don't tell me we got engaged?"

Recalling the words from yesterday's narration, Su Qing immediately felt things were going terribly wrong.

"In your dreams, not marrying you, but adopting me over to you, Dad!"

Su Qing:...

Hearing Li Zijun's grinding-teeth tone on the other end, he was already numb. This must have been fake alcohol.

"Wait, didn't Auntie stop it?" Su Qing asked, confused.

"Stop it? Yesterday you and my dad really opened my and my mom's eyes. My mom even recorded a video. If nothing happens, she's probably already on her way to your house. Be careful." With that, Li Zijun hung up the phone, leaving Su Qing dumbfounded.

[As the saying goes, after-drinking mistakes and loose lips, alcohol emboldens the cowardly. With just a bit of liquor, you gained a daughter, a third brother, quite fruitful]

"Frigging fruitful, my ass!" Su Qing shouted at the narration in his head, knowing that even though it was all drunken talk, not to be taken seriously, even his mom Zhou Hui and Aunt Liu found it laughable, but Old Su definitely wouldn't let it slide.

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but feel his home wasn't safe anymore. He needed to go to Wang Xing's place to lay low.

Meanwhile, on the other end, Li Zijun, after hanging up the phone, couldn't help but blush even deeper remembering how Su Qing had held her hand, and she had had no choice but to sleep in his bed last night. But thinking of her dad's ridiculous actions last night, she couldn't help but find it amusing; what kind of people were they?

The elders weren't behaving like elders. Her mom even said she recorded the video and planned to play it at Su Qing's wedding, so he'd know what it's like to be embarrassed.

In the city center office tower, Shen Yi sat in her office repeatedly opening and exiting Su Qing's WeChat. After doing this countless times, she couldn't help but mutter under her breath, "Little brat, if I don't contact you, you won't take the initiative to send me a message?"

With that, she seemingly unhappily flipped the phone face down on the desk, then pouted, looking out the window.

The assistant Deng Jie, seeing this, couldn't help but shake her head. Since yesterday, she noticed her boss's focus at work wasn't as concentrated as before, zoning out several times.

But only Shen Yi herself knew this was a physiological reaction to a prolonged lack of voice communication. It's just like smoking; once you're addicted, you feel uncomfortable without it for a day.

"President Shen, a new secret recipe restaurant has opened nearby, and it's quite good. I think you should invite Mr. Su over to try it out, and maybe he can take a tour of our company."

Upon hearing this, Shen Yi immediately perked up, "Yeah, I could invite him to visit the company. Maybe after he visits, he'll agree to work here. Deng Jie, you really have a knack for this!"

With that, she picked up her phone to edit a message. Watching this, Deng Jie couldn't help but shake her head.

A competent assistant not only has to worry about work but also has to relieve the boss of personal worries, without making it too obvious. The most important thing is to provide the most reasonable excuse. Being an assistant is so difficult.
