Chapter 81: Chapter 80: Playing with Fire

He returned home after his workout.

As soon as Gao Yuan walked in, he saw the dining table laden with all sorts of delicacies. This must be the work of the chef Lin Wanyu hired.

He was curious to see if this chef’s skills were better than his own.

But when he got closer and took a look, he froze on the spot!

This whole spread looked way too familiar!

Stir-fried eggs with chives, pan-fried honey-glazed golden oysters, turtle stewed with yam, "whipped young rooster"...

Looking at these dishes, Gao Yuan had a familiar feeling.

’If I’m not mistaken,’ he thought, ’the chef still cooking in the kitchen must be from the Jiangsu and Zhejiang Restaurant.’

Sure enough, as the range hood in the kitchen switched off, a chef in a uniform and a white hat walked out.

He placed a clay pot on the table, took a few steps back, and faced Lin Wanyu.

"Ms. Lin, all the dishes you ordered have been prepared."

"The Jiangsu and Zhejiang Restaurant is pleased to have served you!"

Lin Wanyu happily thanked him and saw the chef out.

She turned around, about to hug Gao Yuan, but suddenly caught the smell of sweat on him and immediately stopped. "Gao Yuan, go wash up. We’ll wait for you to eat."

As he showered in the bathroom, Gao Yuan thought back on the day’s events.

He finally understood what Lin Wanyu meant that morning by "three happy events."

The first happy event was naturally him successfully becoming the Lin Group’s second-largest shareholder today.

This represented a huge step forward in his career.

The second was the Brabus G900 she gave him today—Gao Yuan’s first real car.

It was an expression of her affection and love for him.

’The third happy event,’ he mused, ’must be what’s going to happen tonight.’

The passion in the movie theater this afternoon, especially, had been a precursor. At the time, Gao Yuan was too busy enjoying the sudden thrill to think too deeply about the reason.

Now, seeing the dishes on the table, it all clicked.

Lin Wanyu’s period was over!

’Wait a minute...’

’Shouldn’t Li Mengqing’s period be over by now too?’

Remembering that extra hand in the movie theater, Gao Yuan suddenly felt that tonight would be anything but peaceful.

The thought made Gao Yuan a little excited, but the idea of going home tomorrow made him shudder.

’Of all the times for their periods to end, it had to be the day before I go back to my hometown!’

’Good thing the system’s reward of three thousand seconds was upgraded to thirty thousand. Otherwise, I might be walking out of here tomorrow holding onto the walls for support.’

While Gao Yuan’s mind raced, trying to figure out how to handle tonight’s situation, Lin Wanyu was already pounding furiously on the bathroom door. "Gao Yuan, did you pass out in there?"

"Do I need to break down the door and rescue you?"

Hearing Lin Wanyu’s taunts made Gao Yuan’s hands itch.

’This little vixen... she actually dares to be so sarcastic with me.’

’Does she really think I can’t handle her?!’

His persistent training over the past half-month wasn’t for nothing. Before, running two kilometers took him twenty minutes and left him breathless. Now, running two kilometers was like a walk in the park.

After all, the weight training Wang Lin had him do specifically targeted the muscles in his waist, abdomen, and pelvic floor.

Quickly drying himself off, Gao Yuan threw on his pajamas and appeared at the door.

He saw Lin Wanyu standing at the bathroom entrance with her hands on her hips, looking at him with a provocative gaze.

Gao Yuan reached out and, in one swift motion, grabbed Lin Wanyu by her delicate, jade-like neck.

As Lin Wanyu let out a cry of surprise, he pulled her right in front of him. "Be careful you don’t play with fire and get burned!"

With that, Gao Yuan headed straight for the dining room.

"Be careful you don’t play with fire and get burned~"

Li Mengqing, having witnessed the scene, walked over to Lin Wanyu and whispered laughingly in her ear.

Seeing her own best friend mock her, Lin Wanyu grabbed Li Mengqing, pinned her against the wall, and lifted her chin. "Girl, tonight it’s your turn to make a sacrifice!"

With that said, Lin Wanyu also walked toward the dining room, leaving behind Li Mengqing, whose face was instantly flushed red.

Everyone meets their match!

But then again, what goes around, comes around. Karma spares no one.

Although Gao Yuan could conquer both women, there were times when he was more than willing to be the one who was conquered.

After all, where there is oppression, there is resistance.

Dinner began. This time, Gao Yuan didn’t hold back at all, eating a good portion of every dish.

’Since I’m destined to lose a great deal of life essence tonight, I’d better replenish as much as I can!’

The three of them ate in considerable silence, as both women seemed to be preoccupied with their own thoughts.

After dinner, it was once again Gao Yuan who cleaned up the dining room and kitchen, while Lin Wanyu and Li Mengqing left the room, hand in hand.

By the time Gao Yuan got to the living room, the two were already curled up on the sofa.

Seeing their slightly damp hair, it was obvious they had just washed up. And they had both changed into pajamas!

Lin Wanyu was wearing that purple, see-through, V-neck nightgown, while Li Mengqing was much more conservative in a set of pink long-sleeved pajamas.

On the small living room table sat three bottles of red wine, with an unopened case of it below the TV wall.

Seeing Gao Yuan approach, Lin Wanyu patted the space between them. "Honey, come watch TV with us."

After she spoke, Lin Wanyu opened a bottle of red wine and poured it into three stemmed glasses.

’With this kind of setup!’

’There’s no way in hell they’re just planning to watch TV.’

After what happened last time, he knew all too well what these two were like after drinking.

Gao Yuan gave Lin Wanyu a playful look. The little minx was beaming at him with a brilliant smile.

He then looked at Li Mengqing. To his surprise, Li Mengqing was also smiling at him. Although her smile was much more reserved, Gao Yuan could see the mischievous intent in her eyes.

’So that’s how we’re playing this, huh!’

’This must be your third "happy event"!’

Faced with such a situation, Gao Yuan decided to go all out. Since the two of them had been plotting this for so long, he would just beat them at their own game.

Perhaps... tonight, he would get to enjoy the bliss of having two women!

He plopped down on the sofa between them, picked up the wine glasses from the table, and handed them to the two women. "Here’s to celebrating this momentous day!"

The three glasses clinked together, and Gao Yuan downed his in one go.

After finishing, he took the initiative and poured them both another half glass.

The last time they drank, he got so fuzzy he couldn’t tell if he was having a wet dream in his sleep or if someone was actually there. This time, he was channeling his KTV-partying mindset, determined to drink properly with the two women.

The three of them drank, watched TV, and chatted, finishing three bottles of red wine before they even realized it.

Although none of them were drunk yet, they had all reached a tipsy state.

Under the influence of alcohol, the initial awkwardness among the three had vanished.

Lin Wanyu was leaning directly against Gao Yuan, the large V-neck of her nightgown slipping off one shoulder.

"Let’s play a game. We can’t just keep drinking like this!"

Gao Yuan felt that he couldn’t keep drinking like this. These two little temptresses were taking turns clinking glasses with him. At this rate, he would probably be the first one to pass out.

"Honey, just how do you want to drink?"

Lin Wanyu’s eyes were like silk as she looked at Gao Yuan. She bit her lip, her tone incredibly bewitching.

The moment she said that, Gao Yuan narrowed his eyes!

"We’ll play a little game. The loser either drinks or accepts a punishment!"

Gao Yuan’s proposal instantly perked up both Lin Wanyu and Li Mengqing.

Just drinking was indeed a bit boring. You can’t just drink for the sake of getting drunk; the atmosphere is important too.

"So what game should we play?"

Evidently, both women were very interested, and they asked in unison.

This was where Gao Yuan’s strengths finally came into play.

After spending so much time at karaoke bars, he knew a ton of games.

Although many of them were inappropriate to play with the two of them now, he could put a new spin on even the simplest ones.

"You both know how to play ’Touring the Three Gardens,’ right?"
