However, Qin Yao and Zhao Feng clearly had doubts about Xu Hao's words.

"Ah, Xu Hao... take this! Actually, I had other things to do today, and the main reason I came to the class reunion was to see you. Now that I've seen you, I feel relieved," Qin Yao's face blushed deeply, finally revealing her true feelings.

But Xu Hao heard an underlying message in Qin Yao's words, "Xiao Yao, did something happen to you? Tell me about it? I really can help you!"

In the past, although Xu Hao was the Liu Family's son-in-law, he didn't have any real power or control over wealth. His job was merely that of a security guard, and even if he wanted to help Qin Yao, he couldn't.

But now, Xu Hao had a rich father, and his family owned a hundred gold mines... His pocket money alone was ten billion! Need people? There were even more than a dozen tough bodyguards in the bread shop across the street. With this power, there weren't many in Jing'an City who would dare to mess with Xu Hao, right?

"It's nothing, Xu Hao! Thank you... If there's a next life, and we meet again, remember to say you love me, okay? If you had been bolder in college, maybe I would be your wife now!" After saying this, Qin Yao seemed much more relaxed.

Xu Hao wanted to continue to counsel Qin Yao, but Qi Jun had been annoyed with Qin Yao and Xu Hao for a while now, and just as the server had brought the dishes, Qi Jun quickly called out to everyone, "Come on, the dishes are almost all here, let's all eat up!"

...

During the meal, thanks to Zhao Feng and Zhang Meng, and the antics of Jia Sisi and others, the atmosphere was fairly harmonious.

When the meal was coming to an end, and everyone had had several rounds of drinks, several classmates at the other two tables in the private room were already drunken.

Qi Jun gave Zhang Meng a look and then suggested to the table, "Fellow classmates, it's been a long time since we've seen each other, let's have a drink!"

"Sure, come on, let's all fill up!" Gao Fei and others echoed.

Zhang Meng volunteered to stand up, picking up the Moutai bottle, "Okay, I'll pour the drinks for everyone!"

Zhang Meng covertly nodded at Qi Jun, then filled Jia Sisi's glass first, before turning around and starting to pour for Qin Yao.

Xu Hao's brow twitched, and under the dim lighting of the private room, he actually saw Zhang Meng sprinkle a bit of powder through her fingers into Qin Yao's glass, colorless and odorless, dissolving quickly.

Zhang Meng's movements were very quick, almost invisible if one wasn't paying close attention.

When Qi Jun saw Zhang Meng's actions, the cunning in his eyes flickered and disappeared!

Xu Hao's face immediately darkened. Damn it, they were playing dirty?

What Zhang Meng put in Qin Yao's drink was something anyone could guess with their toes; it was certainly a drug that could make a girl compliant.

These despicable bastards!

While the Sect Leader was pouring drinks for the other classmates, Xu Hao stood up, purposely bending down, conveniently using his body to block Qi Jun and Zhang Meng's line of sight, and swiftly switched his glass with Qin Yao's.

When Qin Yao saw Xu Hao's movements, a trace of confusion flashed in her eyes, while Xu Hao quietly shook his head at her.

Xu Hao picked up Qin Yao's glass and walked over to Qi Jun with a smile, picking up Qi Jun's glass as well, "Monitor Qi... Since we're drinking, I think we should have a drink first before everyone else, shouldn't we? I should really thank you for looking after me during college, right?"

While talking to Qi Jun, Xu Hao deftly switched the two glasses in his hands. The drink with something in it from Qin Yao's glass had now become Qi Jun's.

Qi Jun glared coldly at Xu Hao with suspicion, not knowing what Xu Hao was up to. "You want to drink with me? Who the hell do you think you are?"

This Xu Hao had been a stumbling block between Qi Jun and Qin Yao since their college days, and now, even though Xu Hao was married, he still stood in the way. Qi Jun wished he could devour Xu Hao alive.

Moreover, Xu Hao had just ridiculed Qi Jun in front of so many people, not allowing Qi Jun to save face. Now, given the chance to suppress Xu Hao, Qi Jun certainly would not let it pass.

Xu Hao's recent switch of the drinks had not gone unnoticed by Qin Yao, who saw everything clearly. Her own drink had become Qi Jun's?

Qin Yao was sharp as a tack and, thinking of Xu Hao's string of actions, instantly understood. A flash of anger crossed her eyes—this despicable Qi Jun was actually trying to frame her with such a sleazy trick?

Before Xu Hao could speak, Qin Yao stood up, looked coldly at Qi Jun, and said, "Qi Jun, you better watch your tone! Xu Hao is my friend. To refuse to drink with my friend is to look down on me! If you drink this cup with Xu Hao... only then will I drink with you..."

Qin Yao also wanted to see what effect the drink Zhang Meng poured earlier would have if Qi Jun were to drink it. Need character sheets and glossaries? Visit *.

"This..." Qi Jun was suddenly somewhat helpless. Qin Yao was forcing his hand, making him drink with Xu Hao.

There was something in Qin Yao's drink—that was Qi Jun's order to Zhang Meng. As long as Qin Yao drank it, no matter how fierce she was, she would obediently comply.

For the sake of Qin Yao, Qi Jun endured!

He took the drink from Xu Hao's hand, "Fine, for Qin Yao's sake, I'll drink this cup!" Qi Jun tilted his head back and downed the drink in one gulp.

"Come on, let's all drink together!" Having finished a cup in a single breath, Qi Jun had Zhang Meng fill his cup again and urged everyone to join in, worried that Qin Yao would change her mind.

Xu Hao turned around, exchanged a smile with Qin Yao, and everyone raised their glasses for a toast.

Seeing Qin Yao down her drink in one go, Qi Jun's face showed a smug smile, Gao Fei looked delighted, and Zhang Meng sighed with relief.

Qi Jun was in high spirits, pulling everyone into lively conversations. After about ten minutes, he realized Qin Yao still hadn't reacted and curiously signaled Zhang Meng with his eyes.

Zhang Meng promptly asked Qin Yao, "Xiao Yao, don't you feel it's a bit stuffy here? Why don't we go to the restroom together?"

According to the original plan of Qi Jun and the others, they intended to take action while Qin Yao was in the restroom.

But Qin Yao shook her head, "No need, I feel quite good!"

However, it was Qi Jun sitting opposite her whose eyes were turning red as he tugged at his collar several times. "Man, why do I feel so hot? Don't you guys feel hot?"

The next moment, Qi Jun suddenly grabbed Gao Fei's wrist, sniffed it close to his nose, and said, "Xiao Fei, you're so pale today, so fragrant... come on, let's hug..."

As soon as he finished speaking, Qi Jun actually pulled his T-shirt halfway up, exposing his chubby shoulders, and dragged Gao Fei into his embrace!

What the hell!

Gao Fei, horrified and breaking out in goosebumps, exclaimed, "Damn it, boss, I don't like men... boss, are you okay?"
