Return of the Antagonistic Lady Boss

"Why did you come here yourself? It’s so far, isn’t it tiring for you to come back and forth? I just asked you to make me some hangover soup at home, and you came all the way here driving."

"My wife is out drinking vodka with others, how could I stay home? Now you feel sorry for me? Let’s see if you’ll keep drinking this much next time!"

Qian pouted, "I don’t feel sorry for you, I’m just afraid your fatigue might affect my life and property safety, hey, what are you doing!"

Before they even got on the highway, he couldn’t stand her teasing anymore, turned the steering wheel, and stopped by the roadside.

This place is perfect, dark night and wind, not a soul in sight, nobody would notice if they did something bad.

He had a menacing smile on his face, "I’m not tired enough yet, I think I can get a bit more tired now, and drag you along with me."

Qian didn’t dare tease him anymore and quickly pleaded for mercy.

"Big brother, I was wrong! It was all my fault! I was just joking with you. I’m touched that my husband came all this way so late at night. It’s hard work."

Yu Minglang’s mouth twitched at her words, "Hard work, my foot. I’m not some Japanese invader, I’ll remember this and settle the score with you later!"

Qian stuck out her tongue playfully, not afraid of him at all!

Her Erha at home is a good husband who barks but never bites her... Alright, after getting bitten when they got home, Qian decided to take back that statement.

But he only nibbled a bit, didn’t go all the way.

"Keep accounts," that’s what he said.

Qian had to go as a substitute tomorrow, she knew it was his way of being considerate, so she nestled in his arms contentedly. Soon, she was feeling drowsy.

"Wifey, are you asleep?"

"Mmm..." Qian murmured, half-asleep.

"What’s going on with Xiaoxi, exactly?"

Inside, Qian actually wanted to laugh, but she held back.

She bet this guy held back for a long time, too embarrassed to ask, and only asked when she was about to fall asleep. Is he trying to hide the fact that he cares for his sister?

What a cute Xiaoqiang~

"She’ll be fine, don’t worry." Qian deliberately answered in a mumbled, sleep-speaking tone.

He didn’t want to ask when he was fully awake, so she cooperated and left some face for Erha.

"Is everything going to be alright with Hai Zhao and her...?"

Yu Minglang knew Qian never did anything without a reason. If she asked Hai Zhao to pick up Xiaoxi, then—

"Go to sleep, it’s fine."

With Qian saying this, Yu Minglang could only suppress his curiosity and not ask. Just before sleeping, he asked again.

"How long will it take for Xiaoxi to get over it?"

"Half a year if she’s quick, a lifetime if she’s slow. I’ve given her all I could instill, whenever she wants to come to me for more healing is up to her."

"I’ll talk to her." Yu Minglang couldn’t lie down, wanted to sit up, but Qian pulled him down.

"Anyone going to talk will only make it worse. Telling the truth when drunk is just like speaking truthfully while half-asleep. Do you really want to break that thin window paper?"

When people are half-asleep, they’re most receptive to psychological suggestions, like if someone whispers in front of a half-asleep person about what to have for breakfast, a part might actually go buy that kind of breakfast the next day.

Qian had already given Xiaoxi all the necessary hints at the right time, how to realize them is up to Yu Mingxi.

Healing from a wound takes time, in such matters, the less she wants to figure it out herself, the worse the outcome from others talking more.

"Wifey, is one’s heart clear when they’re drunk?"

"Mmm. Drinking creates excitement in the brain, in this mildly excited state, people are actually aware of their words and actions. So, during this stage, many men brag, say things they usually wouldn’t dare, but the credibility of their ’truth’ isn’t high. As they drink more, reaching moderate or mid-level excitement, from a medical standpoint it’s already acute ether poisoning, it anesthetizes the central nervous system, the brain loses rational control, she might be aware of what she’s doing, but often doesn’t remember when sober."

"So you’re telling me, to treat Xiaoxi, you got her alcohol poisoned?!"

Is this the so-called ends-justify-the-means?

"Xiaoxi’s self-control is already extraordinary, your Yu Family genes are terrifying. She can even transform herself into a giant in her dreams and lock a snake, how could I manage her without some special methods?"

Seeing Yu Minglang still wanted to speak, Qian simply closed her eyes and wrapped her arms and legs around him, "I’m currently in mild alcohol excitement, what I do is just a natural reaction when drunk, you can’t hold me accountable when I wake up. Whoever makes an account with a drunk is a fool..."

Yu Minglang felt both angry and amused, lightly pinched her cheek as punishment, "Don’t drink so much with others from now on, it’s bad for your health."

"Mmm, got it, I’ll handle it reasonably...."

"Handle it, my foot! One drink and you’ve dropped a generation, keep drinking, someday your husband will become your grandson."

...

When Hai Zhao arrived, he blushed immediately, feeling like all the alcohol he drank had sobered up.

Yu Mingxi was buttoning up her shirt and glanced at him, even greeted him.

"Hello! I’m not drunk!"

"Not drunk? Then why is this stuff buttoned outside your clothes?" Hai Zhao turned, although he really wanted to look, he understood it’s inappropriate.

"Oh, right, I wondered why I couldn’t button it up for so long. I thought drinking could enhance the chest, immediate results! Hahaha, a great way to get rich!"

"How much did you guys even drink?!" Hai Zhao remembered Xiaoxi could hold her liquor, how did she end up like this?

He couldn’t help but blame Chen Xiaoqian. That witch stirred things up everywhere with words, let alone came over to make Xiaoxi drink!

"Not much... 1, 2, 3... can’t remember."

"Do you know who I am?"

"Who knows who you are, you look familiar, who are you?"

Hai Zhao felt heartbroken, in her heart, he must not be someone important, she won’t even recognize him when drunk.

"I’m Hai Zhao."

"Hai Zhao... oh, good, very good—ugh!"

Yu Mingxi felt nauseous, covered her mouth about to vomit, Hai Zhao dashed forward and placed a trash can in front of her, but was a step too late.

Vomit got on her clothes.

"We need to find a place to change your clothes," Hai Zhao wanted to carry her on his back, but Yu Mingxi pushed him away with a slap.

"Don’t touch me!" She was dirty and she’d soil him.

"Even if you hate me, please at least wait until we’re somewhere safe to hate me!" Hai Zhao thought even drunk she didn’t want to see him, and it hurt.

Ignoring her protest, he carried Yu Mingxi on his back, "I’ll take you home."

"No!" She struggled violently on his back, almost causing them both to fall.

"Stay still!"

Hai Zhao felt a bit provoked, how could she be so strong? Stronger than him!

Yu Mingxi was capable in martial arts, generally speaking, even men would be at a disadvantage fighting her.
