Chapter 11: This Is Life~

Stimulated by the alcohol, how could a man ever say no? Moreover, who could refuse two mature, elegant women who were clearly a little tipsy? Their demeanor grew increasingly charming and enchanting, and the alluring grace in their eyes and brows made them completely irresistible.

Li Yan ordered another bottle of yellow wine.

Working together, the two best friends coaxed Su Yunzhou into drinking more than a full decanter until he absolutely couldn't swallow another drop. Not wanting to embarrass himself in front of the ladies, he compromised by saying he just needed to close his eyes for a moment before drinking more. However, within minutes of leaning back on the sofa, he fell fast asleep.

Li Yan tiptoed over and gently nudged his arm. Su Yunzhou didn't react at all; he had even started snoring softly. She shrugged at her best friend and spread her hands, indicating that his alcohol tolerance was truly terrible.

The two women returned to the table.

Liu Yiyi raised her glass and clinked it gently against her friend's.

After draining her drink in one gulp, Li Yan crossed her legs, striking a comfortable yet undeniably seductive pose. She arched her elegant brows.

"Yiyi, he really is drunk~"

The long, affected drawl at the end of her sentence earned her an eye-roll from Liu Yiyi. Then, turning slightly sideways, Liu Yiyi unfastened a button on her jeans.

"PHEW~

"I'm so stuffed!

"It's been forever since I ate this much."

Li Yan giggled and studied her beaming friend. She thought, "It really has been a long time since I've seen her this relaxed after that incident."

She suggested, "Since we have tomorrow off anyway, why don't we two sisters drink until we drop tonight?"

Liu Yiyi's gaze shifted to the fast-asleep Su Yunzhou. "What about him? He just closed a huge deal with you today, and you're just going to abandon him?"

"Ooh!" Li Yan pouted playfully and teased, "Is your heart aching for him?"

"You're so annoying!" Liu Yiyi said. Catching her friend off guard, she reached out her small hand and gave her a light squeeze.

"AH!"

Caught completely unprepared, Li Yan let out a delicate gasp. She covered her chest and scolded, "You brat, ambushing me like that!"

Liu Yiyi giggled. "That's what you get for constantly making fun of me. If you ask me, you're the one with ulterior motives. You keep calling him 'Mr. Su, Mr. Su' so sweetly that it could melt anyone's bones."

"I literally just met him today, okay?"

"Doesn't that just mean things are developing fast? Your body feels so soft... tell me the truth, did you find some wild man to nourish you every day?"

"OUCH~ You're doing it again!"

"Let me examine you too..."

As Li Yan spoke, she reached out her own hands, and the two women instantly tumbled into a playful scuffle.

Unfortunately, Su Yunzhou didn't get to witness this scene. Otherwise, he would have undoubtedly sighed in admiration, "The conversations of mature women are truly wild!"

After messing around for a while, the two women finished the rest of the yellow wine.

Li Yan brought up her previous suggestion again. "Have you decided yet? What's the plan?"

Her face flushed, Liu Yiyi replied, "How about we take him back first, and then go to my place to drink until we drop?"

Li Yan blinked her large eyes. "That's such a waste of time! How about this: we go book a suite, lock him inside, and then we continue..."

Seeing Liu Yiyi's hesitation, Li Yan promptly made the decision for her.

A few moments after she pressed the call button, a waitress hurried over.

With a slight drunken flush on her face, Li Yan said, "Check, please. And pack up these two dishes to go."

"Please wait a moment, miss."

A short while later, the waitress returned with the bill and a POS machine. Li Yan took the receipt, glanced at it, and pulled up the payment QR code on her phone.

Liu Yiyi leaned over to look at the total and clicked her tongue in amazement.

"Even after the discount, this meal cost 9,800 yuan.

"Thank goodness the company is paying for it, otherwise my heart would really ache."

Once the payment was successful, the waitress held up the packed takeout boxes and asked, "Miss, I see your friend is drunk. Do you need our help bringing him downstairs?"

Li Yan nodded hastily. "That would be wonderful, thank you!"

Using her walkie-talkie, the waitress called over two male colleagues. They hoisted Su Yunzhou up by his arms, one on each side, and followed the two swaying, elegant women toward the elevators.

After stepping out of the elevator, Liu Yiyi proactively took hold of the wobbly Su Yunzhou.

The waitress bowed slightly. "Thank you for visiting. Have a safe trip back!"

With that, the staff took the elevator back up.

The two young male waiters exchanged a look, their eyes revealing a mutual envy that any man would understand.

Meanwhile, gazing at the brightly lit skyscrapers outside the elevator, the waitress secretly made a resolution. "I definitely have to quit my job early and start my own business. I want to become a confident, independent, rich woman just like them—one who can afford to keep a handsome boy toy."

At that moment, the moon hung high above the willow branches, and a cool breeze was blowing gently. Su Yunzhou faintly heard someone calling his name.

"Wake up! Su!"

"Mr. Su? Are you alright?"

Su Yunzhou mumbled a few words, his eyes blurry as his body shifted restlessly. He could only feel two soft objects pressing against him.

Vaguely remembering that he was still drinking, he slurred in a daze, "Come on... keep going. My... alcohol tolerance might be bad... but my drinking etiquette is good..."

Seeing this, the two women exchanged helpless looks.

Li Yan suddenly clapped her hands together, startling her best friend.

"Why are you being so jumpy?" Liu Yiyi asked.

"I forgot to pack a bottle of wine to go!" Li Yan's pretty face showed a trace of annoyance. "Now I'm going to have to spend my own money later, and it hurts!"

Liu Yiyi rolled her eyes at her friend in exasperation. "Hurry up and give me a hand, I can barely hold him up!"

Li Yan glanced at her phone, then took a few steps forward and grabbed Su Yunzhou's other arm.

"Only two hundred meters left! Hang in there, sister, persistence brings victory~"

A little while later, a rideshare driver was taking the trio toward their destination.

Glancing through the rearview mirror, he studied the drowsy young man and the two stunning, mature women, feeling an indescribable sense of envy.

Their destination: the Hilton Hotel.

What were they going to do?

Anyone with half a brain could figure it out.

He had been driving a rideshare for a long time, but this was the first time he had ever seen a boy toy get completely wasted.

Was his professional stamina just lacking? Or was this some kind of new roleplay?

Five minutes later, the two women dragged the swaying young man out of the car and headed toward the magnificent hotel entrance.

The driver watched the three of them leave. Sniffing the lingering perfume in the air, he exhaled a deep breath of stale air and stepped on the gas to pick up his next order.

SIGH~

Some people had to work themselves to death just to make a living.

Others earned money just by lying on their backs.

Some cried sentimental tears in the night, while others happily sweated in the dark.

Some couldn't let go of their pasts, while others were already putting it in for round two.

This was life.

A completely fucked up life.

At the Hilton Hotel's Executive Suite.

Liu Yiyi's face was flushed crimson. The looks the front desk staff had given them on their way up had filled her with such burning shame that she had almost wanted to run away.

"This room is pretty nice!" Sitting on the sofa, Li Yan kicked off her high heels. She then unbuttoned her top and headed toward the bathroom.

"Yiyi, want to shower together~"

Liu Yiyi was utterly speechless at her friend's lack of filter. "You go wash first! I'll keep an eye on things out here. If he wakes up and comes out, wouldn't we be..."

Li Yan looked at the bedroom door in front of them, which they had blocked from the outside with a single-seat sofa. "What are you afraid of? How could he possibly be a match for the two of us by himself?"

"Ugh~"

Too lazy to entertain her nonsense, Liu Yiyi began taking out the alcohol and various snacks they had bought.

Half an hour later.

Holding a wine glass, Liu Yiyi was getting a bit emotional.

"I just don't get it. Why!

"What exactly is wrong with me?

"I've got the figure, and I've got the looks!

"And that bastard still cheated on me!"

Li Yan joined in the cursing for a while. Then, she raised her glass and shouted, "Come on! Let's wish him a lifetime of impotence!"

"Cheers to that!"

"HAHAHA~"

The two women laughed wildly in the room.

After chatting for a bit, the topic shifted to Su Yunzhou.

With hazy, drunken eyes, Li Yan asked, "Yiyi, can I ask you a question?"

"Hmm? Go ahead."

"Do you have feelings for Su?"

"What nonsense are you talking about?"

"Oh! Well, if you don't like him, I'm going to make my move!"

"Ah?" Liu Yiyi blurted out.

"What do you mean, 'ah'? He's young and rich. I just don't know if he's good in bed yet, but that's something I can train him on!" Li Yan said, letting out a small hiccup.

"Are you serious?" Liu Yiyi asked, her tone turning slightly serious.

"HAHAHA~"

Li Yan suddenly burst into giggles. "Serious my ass. I'm just messing with you!

"I don't want any men, and I definitely don't want romance!

"I just want to focus on making money."

Liu Yiyi opened a bottle of wine and handed it over, then grabbed one for herself.

"Best friends are like limbs, but men are like clothes.

"Romance? Romance my ass!

"Come on! Let's keep drinking."
