Chapter 342: Must Be Voluntary

Chu Yao sat down next to Lu Zhenzhen.

The meal was filled with cheerful laughter and conversation.

Since they were all acquaintances, Nan Jiaojiao loosened up a bit and started picking her favorite dishes to eat, but later she found that the food in her bowl hadn’t decreased at all.

Bo Yanching was by her side the whole time, peeling shrimps and crabs, putting the meat in her bowl, and occasionally chatting with them.

Nan Jiaojiao got lazy, with three drunken crabs still left on her plate.

She quietly picked one up but before she could place it in her bowl, a plate stretched over, and Bo Yanching tapped her chopsticks with his, causing the crab to fall onto the plate.

“You’ve already had two, no more, these are soaked in wine with high alcohol content.”

With a pout, Nan Jiaojiao complained, “Just a little bit.”

“You can’t hold your liquor.”

Bo Yanching straightforwardly rejected her request.

Despite what he said, he still peeled the crab and placed it in her bowl, “This is the last one.”

With a broad smile, Nan Jiaojiao said, “Thank you!”

After dinner, no one was in a hurry to leave, and they spontaneously organized to either play cards or billiards.

Yaen Chi persuaded Nan Jiaojiao and Chu Yao to play along, suggesting Bo Yanching and Mo Tingshen help keep an eye on the cards, but the suggestion was strongly rejected by all the single folks who complained they were too stuffed to handle any more “dog food.”

Lu Zhenzhen waved her hand calmly, “How about I handle it?

Ah Zhe won’t be mad.”

Yaen Chi glared at her, “No way, missy, I don’t dare to provoke you.”

Lu Zhenzhen smiled and pulled Nan Jiaojiao and Chu Yao to sit at the women’s table.

Surrounded by faces she had seen only a few times and unable to recall their names or who was dating whom, Nan Jiaojiao chose not to speak and lazily leaned on Chu Yao’s shoulder.

“Just sitting there?

How about we play Truth or Dare?” Lu Zhenzhen’s proposal was met with approval from everyone.

Nan Jiaojiao also played a few rounds.

Perhaps she had eaten too many drunken crabs because her head felt dizzy, and she lay limp on the sofa, staring as the spinner pointed towards her.

“Big darling~” Chu Yao handed her a booklet, “Pick a punishment.”

Nan Jiaojiao flipped it open and looked at it briefly—all these weirdly flirtatious punishments; either sitting on laps or randomly kissing someone.

Don’t adults care about these things?

Feeling disheartened, she asked, “Can I choose drinking instead?”

Lu Zhenzhen laughed, “You?

Forget it, your tolerance is really not up to par.

Here, I’ll decide for you.

Go to the men’s table, excluding Bo Yanching, and find someone to transfer ten million to you.”

Nan Jiaojiao frowned, “Talking about money is so crass.”

Lu Zhenzhen placed three glasses of alcohol in front of her, smiling brightly, “Here’s something less crass—drink these in one go, and you can ask us if we’ll let you off.”

Nan Jiaojiao stood up abruptly.

Walking over to Bo Yanching, she moved, and he immediately took notice, his deep gaze capturing her.

She approached hesitantly and struggled to say a few words, “They said, aside from you, whoever voluntarily transfers ten million to me, I can skip the punishment.”

Bo Yanching chuckled, tapping two fingers that held a cigarette on the table, “Phone.”

As soon as he spoke, everyone pulled out their phones.

“Little sister-in-law, you choose.

Pick whoever looks good to you.”

Nan Jiaojiao felt awkward, “It has to be voluntary.”

“Voluntary!”

“We are volunteering!”

“Willingly and gladly!”

Bo Yanching picked up Yaen Chi’s phone, transferred ten million to Nan Jiaojiao, and looked up at her with a smile, “It’s transferred.”

“Oh, thank…

thank you.”

Nan Jiaojiao turned around to leave, but her steps were unsteady, and her breath was laced with a hint of alcohol.

Bo Yanching watched her figure with slightly squinted dark eyes.
