After Ling Shuya finished her song, no one else wanted to go up and sing anymore. The reason was quite simple: they were well aware that even if they sang their best song, it wouldn't be more wonderful than Ling Shuya's rendition of "Having You in My Life"!

"Ye Xiao, what song will you sing? I'll queue it up for you!" Lan Lan said with a smile to Ye Xiao.

Ye Xiao shook his head, "I really can't sing any songs."

Lan Lan said, "It's okay, just belt out a few notes, I'll applaud you!"

"But I truly can't sing!"

"What a killjoy. Shouldn't we play something else then? Otherwise, we'll be wasting our time here for nothing!" Lan Lan moved over and sat down on the sofa, addressing everyone.

"What shall we play?" a girl looked at Lan Lan.

Lan Lan glanced at Ye Xiao, then at Ling Shuya, and finally at Guan Xiaonan, let out a sly chuckle and said, "Let's play 'Truth or Dare.' If you lose, you have to answer a question. Of course, if you really don't want to answer, then you can drink three glasses of booze!"

"Isn't that a bit too harsh?" A girl sitting next to Lan Lan complained.

Lan Lan said, "Who knows who'll lose? Maybe I'll be the one losing. Get the waiter to bring that deck of cards over!"

Immediately, a girl hurried out of the private room, and quickly brought back a deck of playing cards. Lan Lan took it, removed the jokers, and then holding the remaining 52 cards, she smiled and said, "Now there are nine of us. Everyone draw two cards; the one with the lowest total points gets punished, and the one with the highest points decides the punishment!"

"What if two people have the same lowest points?" Ling Shuya asked with uncertainty, looking at Lan Lan.

Lan Lan giggled and said, "Well, in that case, both players have to be punished!"

Subsequently, the group, including Ye Xiao, gathered around the table. Lan Lan shuffled and dealt the cards with a cheerful smile. Before long, each person had two cards in hand.

Ye Xiao looked at his two cards, couldn't help but bitterly smile; he had drawn a 'Diamond 3' and a 'Heart 2.' Combined, that was just 5 points, clearly a rather low total!

Ye Xiao was ready to drink. With his drinking capacity, drinking three glasses was nothing to him, let alone three bottles. This time, he would use his Nine Yang True Qi to dispel the effects of the alcohol!

"Alright, everyone show your points!" Lan Lan said with a grin, revealing her own cards which turned out to be a 'Club Q' and a 'Heart K.' In the deck of cards, the Q stands for 12, and the K naturally stands for 13. Added together, that was 25 points, an explosively high score!

"Wow, that's such a high score!" One girl exclaimed as she revealed her cards: a 'Club 2' and a 'Spade 2,' which totalled 4 points.

Seeing that the girl had only 4 points, Ye Xiao quietly heaved a sigh of relief—his 5 points were not the lowest!

Lan Lan quickly said, "Looks like you've got the lowest points. Huh? Shuya, why aren't you showing your cards?"

Hearing Lan Lan's words, all eyes suddenly turned to Ling Shuya. With reluctance on her face, she still slowly flipped over her two cards. When everyone saw Ling Shuya's hand, the girl who previously had only 4 points burst into giggles.

"Mine isn't the smallest, Shuya's is the lowest score, haha..."

Ye Xiao also looked at Ling Shuya's cards—two Aces, totaling 2 points!

Definitely the lowest score!

In this round, Lan Lan had the highest score and Ling Shuya had the lowest, which meant Ling Shuya was the one to be punished, and Lan Lan was to issue the punishment.

Lan Lan looked at Ling Shuya with a mischievous grin and said, "Shuya, listen up, my question is, what is the real relationship between you and Ye Xiao?"

As soon as Lan Lan asked her question, suddenly, Ye Xiao and Ling Shuya became the focus of everyone in the room.

Ling Shuya had actually anticipated that she might be asked such a question; she just didn't expect it to come up so quickly!

Holding her cards, Ling Shuya hesitated, clearly not wanting to reveal the answer. Yet, since they were playing 'Truth or Dare,' she was logically compelled to answer.

Just as Ling Shuya was uncertain about what to do next, Guan Xiaonan, who had been silent since they entered the room, suddenly spoke up, "Can't you drink in place of answering the question?"

Upon hearing Guan Xiaonan's words, Ling Shuya looked up eagerly at Lan Lan like grabbing at a lifeline; the latter nodded and said, "That's the rule, of course, you can!"

Lan Lan immediately poured three glasses of beer for Ling Shuya. Confident in her alcohol tolerance, Ling Shuya swiftly picked up a glass to drink, but as the beer neared her mouth, the smell made her feel so nauseated that she had to put the beer down, her brows deeply furrowed.

Sitting next to Ling Shuya, Ye Xiao asked in confusion, "What's wrong?"

Ling Shuya replied, "I don't know why, but the smell of the beer is making me uncomfortable."

Ye Xiao understood immediately when he heard Ling Shuya's words. Last night, Ling Shuya had drunk too much, so much so that even now, the scent of alcohol made her sensitive. He laughed and said, "I'll drink for you. It's my first time in such a fancy place, and it would be a shame not to have a few more drinks!"

Ye Xiao then picked up a glass and downed it in one gulp, the drink was gone in an instant, followed by him chugging the remaining two glasses of alcohol as well!

"How can you do that? That's Shuya's drink. What does it mean if you drink it?" Lan Lan, seeing Ye Xiao drink Ling Shuya's share, immediately felt unsatisfied. Not only was it questionable whether Ye Xiao's action was against the rules, but more importantly, Lan Lan felt somewhat uncomfortable seeing someone she liked helping someone else.

At this moment, Guan Xiaonan said with a smile, "If you end up losing later and Ye Xiao is willing to take your drinks for you, we won't have any objections!"

Lan Lan glanced at Guan Xiaonan. She wanted to say something but then thought of Guan Xiaonan's fierce demeanor at the food stall and promptly closed her mouth!

"Alright, let's continue!" Guan Xiaonan said with a smile.

This was the first time Guan Xiaonan had shown a smile on her face since she arrived.

Ling Shuya looked at Guan Xiaonan with gratitude. She really hadn't expected Guan Xiaonan to help her out like this!

And so, they continued.

Ye Xiao never would have guessed that because he had drunk three glasses of alcohol, he would become a human liquor vessel!

"Ye Xiao, drink for me!" Lan Lan pushed her glass towards Ye Xiao.

Ye Xiao asked, "Can you really not drink?"

Lan Lan frowned slightly, a look of distress on her face as she said, "I'm on my period, I really can't drink!"

Ye Xiao, without a word, picked up three beers and drank them down.

To his great frustration, he had no idea why, but the smallest dice rolls always ended up in the hands of Ling Shuya and Lan Lan. Neither of them wanted to speak the truth or drink the alcohol, leaving Ye Xiao no choice but to guzzle down one glass after another until he'd downed more than twenty beers in the blink of an eye!

Although Ye Xiao had used his Nine Yang True Qi to expel the effects of the alcohol, his belly was still bloated with liquid.

"I need to go to the restroom!" Ye Xiao, with a wry smile, stood and said, "We can't keep playing this game, otherwise I'll end up drinking all of this booze!"

Hearing Ye Xiao's words, Lan Lan burst into a sly laugh, her chuckling as cunning as one could imagine. This immediately tipped Ye Xiao off that today's card game might have been tampered with by little miss Lan Lan, but he didn't feel like pointing it out.

Ye Xiao purposefully staggered out of the private room. Ling Shuya glanced at Ye Xiao as he left and hesitated for a moment before turning to Guan Xiaonan and saying, "Xiaonan, go have a look. It won't be good if Ye Xiao collapses somewhere!"

"Why should I go?" Guan Xiaonan asked, puzzled as she looked at Ling Shuya.

Ling Shuya said, "Because out of the two of us, you're the strongest!"

Upon hearing Ling Shuya's words, Guan Xiaonan immediately stood up and walked out the door.

As for Ye Xiao, after leaving the private room, he went straight to the restroom. After urinating, he came out only to discover Guan Xiaonan standing by the restroom door. He looked at her with a puzzled face and said, "What are you doing?"

Guan Xiaonan said, "Ling Shuya asked me to see if you were drunk."

Ye Xiao burst into a laugh and said, "I never would have expected, she really cares about people!"

"That's right, she just doesn't know that the person she likes is a heartless casanova," Guan Xiaonan retorted with a sneer.

Ye Xiao's face wore a smile as he looked at Guan Xiaonan and chuckled, "I'm a heartless casanova? Which part of me makes you think that? Have you seen into my heart already?"

As Ye Xiao spoke, he slowly moved closer to Guan Xiaonan, who immediately tried to back away, only to find a wall behind her—there was nowhere to hide!

"Xiaonan," Ye Xiao's lips were almost touching Guan Xiaonan's earlobe as he whispered, "If you really…"

Just as Ye Xiao was about to finish his sentence, a waiter emerged from a private room next door. Then a curse was heard coming from the room, "Damn it, I want to see what a lady cop tastes like tonight!"

At this, Ye Xiao's words were abruptly cut off!

It then occurred to Ye Xiao that the room Song Jiamin had entered was this one next door!

Ye Xiao got up from where he was with Guan Xiaonan and in three quick strides reached the door of the private room, blocking the door just as it was about to close, leaving the waiter inside looking at Ye Xiao in confusion.

"I'm looking for my buddy!" Ye Xiao glanced at the waiter, who quickly took a hint and left.

Ye Xiao then pushed the door and entered.

The moment he stepped in, he caught sight of Song Jiamin lying limp on the sofa with a disheveld and highly revealing outfit that became even more striking under the lights. Most importantly, her clothes were in disarray, and a middle-aged man with a sinister face was trying to take advantage of her.

However, as Ye Xiao suddenly walked in, everyone in the private room froze in place!
