My Wife, The Ice Queen President

Chapter 121: Chapter 0121 Drinking Contest_1
“Ye Xiong, what exactly do you want? Aren’t you being too selfish?” Yang Xinyi walked over, staring directly at him.

It was the first time Ye Xiong had been stared at with such a gaze, and he instinctively stepped back a few steps, making way for her.

Yang Xinyi grabbed Jing Feng’s hand and walked past him, disappearing from sight in a moment.

A sudden and inexplicable pain surged in his heart. Ye Xiong’s mouth twitched with self-mockery before he headed towards the private room.

She was right; he was indeed too selfish.

On one hand, he couldn’t let go of her, and on the other, he thought of Du Yuehua.

To have both the fish and the bear’s paw was not something this world would allow.

After walking to a spot where Ye Xiong couldn’t see her, Yang Xinyi quickly let go of Jing Feng’s hand and apologized, “I’m sorry for making you a laughing stock.”

Clenching the residual warmth in his hand, Jing Feng said with jealousy, “You said your marriage is a sham, but I doubt that’s true.”

“It is a fact.”

“It feels like you’re a real married couple who just had a spat.”

“You’re overthinking it.” Yang Xinyi brushed her hair from her forehead, took a deep breath, and then proposed, “I’m sorry he ruined the mood. How about we meet another time?”

“Didn’t you say you wanted to go to Jiangshui?”

“I’m really not in the mood, I’m sorry.”

Though Jing Feng was quite disappointed, he understood the principle of playing the long game and offered, “Then let me drive you home.”

Yang Xinyi nodded; her car keys were with Ye Xiong, so she couldn’t get back on her own.

Meanwhile, Ye Xiong had entered the private room. Du Feiyu approached him, urgently saying, “Brother Xiong, come quickly, we’re losing face here.”

Ye Xiong looked into the room and saw the diners clearly divided into two groups, men on one side and women on the other, all engrossed in a drinking contest.

Several men had already fallen on their side, and though quite a few women were drunk as well, there were more women than men in the hotel, at least twice as many. So, in this contest, it was anyone’s game.

“I can’t do this anymore, someone else take over,” a male employee covered his mouth and dashed towards the restroom.

With a drink in hand, a victorious woman shouted, “With that kind of tolerance, you shouldn’t even step forward. Go play with your birds on the sidelines.”

Instantly, a chorus of jeers arose from the women’s side, shouting, “Next, next…”

After four or five calls, no man from their side dared to step forward.

Ye Xiong was about to greet Du Yuehua when a group of male employees pushed and pulled him to the table.

“President Ye is here; now we’ll see who gets killed.”

“President Ye, give it to them hard.”

“One to take down five of them, show them what you’ve got.”

These words were nothing if not blood-pumping.

“One against five is too few; you think President Ye is as weak as you? With his ability, he should take on at least seven at once.”

Ye Xiong couldn’t put it off any longer, or there would be no place for him in this hotel in the future. So he looked at the pretty girl in front of him and smiled, “What’s your name, beautiful?”

“I’m Xiao You.”

“Why not call yourself ‘Porn Star’ instead?” Ye Xiong smirked suggestively.

“Hey, President Ye, you’re so naughty. I’m a decent girl, not one of those…” Xiao You cooed.

You claim to be a decent girl, but that coquettish voice must have moaned through how many beds to produce such an enchanting sound.

“Drinking beer is boring; if we’re going to drink, let’s drink something strong.”

Ye Xiong waved to the bartender and whispered something into his ear. The bartender nodded and left, returning shortly after with a tray of colorful cocktails that looked very eye-catching.

“President Ye, you’re trying to kill us!”

“Drinking this, won’t we be drunk for three days?”

Having become quite knowledgeable about alcohol these days, they knew that the punch of these drinks was more than the average person could handle.

The women, who had been quite boisterous just a short while ago, fell silent upon seeing the drinks, as not one of them felt confident they could handle two rounds.

“What’s the matter, got cold feet?” Ye Xiong picked up a Three-Color Flame and downed it in one gulp, feeling a burning sensation that spread from his throat to his belly, slicing through him like a knife.

“Whoever gets drunk tonight doesn’t have to come to work tomorrow.”

Ye Xiong picked up the second blue drink and shouted loudly, “Don’t say I, a big man, am bullying you women, you drink one, I’ll drink two.”

After saying that, he downed the second cocktail in one go.

The alcohol burned fiercely once it hit his stomach.

On the sofa nearby, Du Yuehua was chatting with a few girls who weren’t drinking. Seeing Ye Xiong like this, her brows immediately furrowed.

“Sister Hua, this guy is a bit off!” Xiao Mei said from beside her.

“This isn’t just drinking; he’s clearly drowning his sorrows.”

Du Yuehua couldn’t stand by and was about to go over and persuade him when Xiao Mei stopped her, saying, “When a man is drinking, his emotions are pretty unstable. If you go up and talk to him now, he might feel like he’s losing face. He could even lose his temper.”

“So, what should we do?”

“Let him drink. Once he’s drunk, he’ll behave himself. This hotel has plenty of rooms; we can just drag him up like a dead pig when it’s time.”

Du Yuehua, who was used to seeing the ways of the world, sighed and didn’t stop her anymore.

Yet, seeing Ye Xiong like this, her heart ached repeatedly.

She had never seen Ye Xiong indulge himself to this extent before.

Ye Xiong’s tolerance for alcohol was no joke. In no time, five girls had been drunk under the table.

Those girls could handle at most two drinks, some even only one, they were certainly no match.

On the men’s side, there was an immediate uproar of cries; they had been suppressed before and now with Ye Xiong stepping up, they could finally hold their heads high.

Even Ye Xiong, with his impressive drinking abilities, felt overwhelmed after seven or eight drinks. He stood up and said, “Someone else take over; I need to rest for a bit.”

Drinking was all about the atmosphere, and once it kicked in, the scene couldn’t be controlled. A guy who had caught his breath took his place and the battle continued.

Ye Xiong staggered over and sat down beside Du Yuehua.

The girl sitting beside them, with good sense, left, providing a little private space for the two of them.

Their relationship was an unspoken truth in the hearts of those at the hotel.

“Do you have to drink like that?” Du Yuehua scolded, full of concern.

She stood up, prepared a cup of sobering tea, and personally fed it to him, before saying, “You need to take care of your body, or you’re going to suffer when you’re old.”

A mature woman was different, the words were so warm and affectionate.

Ye Xiong was moved.

With Du Yuehua, he felt like she was the most important woman in his life.

She was stable, knew her own heart, and also knew how to take care of herself.

Being with her, Ye Xiong felt a profound sense of security.

And what about Yang Xinyi?

Whenever he was with her, it seemed that they argued more often than not.

Perhaps, he was too greedy; having a good woman like Sister Hua by his side, yet his heart still wandered to other women. Yang Xinyi was right; he really was too greedy.

His head felt dizzy and heavy; Ye Xiong lay on the sofa, thinking over many things.

Eventually, he sighed, thinking it was time to let go.

To release Yang Xinyi would be better for her, for himself, and for Sister Hua.

Because Ye Xiong had previously knocked out five women, the men were now prevailing, defeating the women mercilessly. No one dared to step forward.

“Come on, does no one dare to take this on?”

“Didn’t you call us birdless men? Now it’s your turn to be nestless!”

“Got the guts to come up?”

“If they dare to come up, that means they’ve got no balls, the women can only be understood by us men.”

A bunch of guys burst into hearty laughter, their lewd comments non-stop.

On the women’s side, they were immediately suppressed but not a single person dared to come forward.

Just then, a woman gracefully approached the table.

Her appearance immediately detonated the whole room.
