MLROCSHR Chapter 42

Chapter 42: My Wife Doesn’t Allow It

Even though Lian Xun acted quickly, he was still caught red-handed by the sharp-eyed Wei Xueming.

“Ah! My eyes!” Wei Xueming exaggeratedly covered his eyes. “Can you guys consider the feelings of a straight man?”

Lian Xun generously kissed Qi Luzhi on the face again and said with righteous confidence, “I’m kissing my boyfriend, so what? If you can’t stand it, stay away.”

Qi Luzhi: “That’s right! You need to get used to it as soon as possible.”

Li Yu covered her mouth with her hands, looking like she was totally shipping them.

So sweet!

Only Li Yang was used to it. He had seen the two of them flirting with each other at the company many times, and he expected to be fed dog food even more in the future.

In the second half of the gathering, Wei Xueming suggested playing a rock-paper-scissors game, with the loser drinking. The first person to pass out would be responsible for the next gathering.

Li Yang and Li Yu cleared the plates from the table to make room.

Before the game started, Lian Xun stood up, filled his glass with wine, and held it up to Li Yu.

“Ahem, well, I’m sorry. I had a bad attitude towards you before. I apologize to you.”

Although he said it was an apology, Lian Xun’s tone wasn’t humble at all, and he awkwardly turned his head to the side.

Li Yu didn’t expect Lian Xun to lower his face and apologize to him first. He was stunned for a moment, then clinked glasses with him, “I also apologize to you. I didn’t know that the flower I picked that day was a gift you gave to Brother Qi Luzhi.”

“Ignorance is bliss, I forgive you.”

The two smiled at each other, turning hostility into friendship.

“Then, what should I call you in the future?” Li Yu scratched his head and tentatively asked, “Sister-in-law?”

She called Qi Luzhi “Brother,” and Lian Xun was Qi Luzhi’s other half, so calling him “sister-in-law” wasn’t wrong, right?

A male sister-in-law is still a sister-in-law!

Lian Xun: “Just… just call me ‘Brother’ like them.”

“Sister-in-law” was kind of embarrassing.

Qi Luzhi chuckled, “I think ‘sister-in-law’ sounds pretty good.”

Lian Xun was dissatisfied, “Then why not call me ‘Brother’? Call you ‘sister-in-law’? That’s also reasonable.”

Qi Luzhi: “That’s not impossible either.”

Lian Xun: “…”

This guy’s crazy!

At this time, Li Yang also got up, poured drinks for Qi Luzhi and Lian Xun, and then raised his glass. “Come on, let’s also have a drink. Let’s write off the past grievances, and we’ll still be good brothers in the future.”

Lian Xun perfunctorily clinked his glass with him and said, “For the sake of my boyfriend and Little Yu, I’ll reluctantly acknowledge you as my brother.”

Qi Luzhi wasn’t really holding a grudge against Li Yang, so he didn’t say anything, just silently raised his glass and drank it all.

“What about me? Are you guys heartless and don’t want me?” Wei Xueming also squeezed in, insisting that everyone have another drink with him.

After a few rounds of the game, Wei Xueming was the worst loser. The Li siblings huddled together for warmth, Qi Luzhi and Lian Xun colluded with each other, and Wei Xueming was no match for them alone. He was already quite flushed from drinking.

“I don’t believe it, let’s play another round!” Wei Xueming rolled up his sleeves and beckoned to Qi Luzhi.

Qi Luzhi calmly accepted the challenge, not afraid at all.

Wei Xueming lost two more rounds in a row, and his face was so red that it was hard to tell if it was from drinking or from being angered by Qi Luzhi.

“Forget it, you’re no match for him,” Lian Xun advised.

Li Yang: “Drink less, or no one will take you home if you pass out later.”

Wei Xueming was unconvinced, “One more round!”

In this round, Qi Luzhi lost. Wei Xueming was as happy as if he had won the lottery, personally filling Qi Luzhi’s glass to the brim.

Qi Luzhi shook his head, “I can’t drink anymore.”

“What, you want to go back on your word?”

“No, I really can’t drink today. I’ll make it up another day.”

Wei Xueming clicked his tongue, looking unhappy, “Drink it now! I’m a doctor. I know your alcohol tolerance like the back of my hand. I know how much you can drink, so don’t try to go back on your word.”

Wei Xueming had finally won a round against Qi Luzhi, how could he let him off so easily? He couldn’t swallow this.

Qi Luzhi didn’t take the glass, but turned to look at Lian Xun, his tone gentle, “My wife doesn’t allow it.”

Ever since Lian Xun found out that Qi Luzhi had a stomach hemorrhage from drinking too much, he had been very worried about his health and demanded that he not drink more than three glasses each time.

Anyway, Li Yang was there for company social events, so Qi Luzhi only drank a little when he was with friends.

Wei Xueming: “…”

When did the ice-cold CEO become henpecked?

“Then you drink,” Wei Xueming turned his attention to Li Yang.

“I, I have to go out for a while.”

Seeing Li Yang’s expression suddenly become nervous, Wei Xueming put away his frivolous nature, and Qi Luzhi also asked with concern, “What’s wrong?”

“Brother, why do you suddenly have to go out?” Li Yu asked.

Li Yang hesitated for a moment before opening his mouth, “It’s just that Ling Yu… I saw that his location is at the hospital. I want to go see him.”

Lian Xun immediately reacted, incredulously, “You put a tracker on Ling Yu’s phone?”

“He’s been in a bad mood lately, I’m just worried that something might happen to him,” Li Yang said helplessly.

Wei Xueming was confused, “Who’s Ling Yu?”

Li Yu: “Maybe it’s someone my brother is pursuing? I’ve been hearing him say he wants to go to Ling Yu’s house lately…”

“Don’t talk nonsense,” Li Yang hurriedly slapped Li Yu on the head, interrupting her.

“Let’s go together,” Lian Xun planned to go with Qi Luzhi as well.

As Ling Yu’s direct superior, he had an obligation to care about the safety and health of his little assistant.

He had only been focused on being in love lately, and hadn’t even asked how his little assistant was doing. He was a truly unqualified boss, ashamed.

Li Yang reached out and pressed Lian Xun, who had just stood up, back onto the sofa. “No need, I can go by myself.”

“Little Yu, arrange for a driver to take them home later. They’ve all been drinking, so they can’t drive.”

Li Yu nodded, “Don’t worry, Brother.”

After instructing them, Li Yang put on his suit jacket and hurriedly went out, leaving the few people in the room looking at each other.

Lian Xun was inwardly complaining. When did Li Yang become so familiar with his little assistant? It made him feel like an outsider.

He should have a better relationship with his little assistant.

Crap! Could Li Yang be stealing his little assistant away?

He remembered that Ling Yu seemed to have said before that he liked Li Yang…

It wasn’t easy to find such a diligent and capable assistant, he couldn’t let Li Yang steal him away. It seemed that he would have to pay more attention to his little assistant in the future, Lian Xun thought to himself.

With one person missing, it wasn’t fun to play anymore, so the rest of them broke up and prepared to go home.

The ultimate loser of the game was Wei Xueming, who naturally became the host of the next gathering.

He was happy to treat his brothers to drinks, but he was very unconvinced that he had lost so badly this time, and he was determined to turn the tables in the next round.

On the way home, Qi Luzhi saw festive red lanterns hanging on the trees on the side of the street, and realized that there were only a few days left before the New Year. He lowered his head and asked Lian Xun, who was leaning on his shoulder:

“The New Year is coming soon, are you going home?”
