"How about... I treat you to karaoke?" Ning Yunshi, who was always engrossed in her work, couldn’t think of a better way to thank Su Xuan. Su Xuan seemed easygoing and happily accepted. They then headed to a nearby budget KTV. Her younger sister, Ning Yunge, naturally tagged along, sticking close. "Boss Su, you are a man of honor!" Read full story at 𝗻𝗼𝘃𝗲𝗹·𝖿𝗂𝗋𝖾·𝗇𝖾𝗍 As Zhong Zhiping left with the 180 million transfer payment, he looked at the majestic TQ building and muttered his thanks to himself. I thought TQ had put up the money to take over my failing project, but to my surprise, it turned out Su Xuan had paid for it out of his own pocket! I can’t thank him enough. Once the company’s operations improve, I’ll definitely treat him to a drink! I’ll also invest more in TQ for capital operations, and I’ll never withdraw my investment, even if it kills me! Zhong Zhiping took a deep breath and returned to his company to work overtime. The budget KTV had a rather peculiar name: "Some Burst Into Tears While Singing." It was Su Xuan’s first time seeing a KTV with such a name. The Ning sisters, however, had clearly been to this KTV before and didn’t seem curious about its name. Ning Yunshi simply stared at a large building next to it, lost in thought. "Sis, let’s go in!" Ning Yunge said, tugging her arm. Ning Yunshi smiled and walked into the KTV. "Brother-in-law, since we’ve already had our blind date, you have to drink three rounds with me!" After the drinks and fruit platter arrived, Ning Yunge, holding a glass of Hennessy mixed with black tea, insisted on drinking with Su Xuan. Her reason for drinking was also quite amusing. "Stop calling him brother-in-law!" Ning Yunshi glared at her sister. "I’ve already made it clear with Boss Su that our blind date doesn’t count, and the one you went on for me counts even less!" "Cheers!" Su Xuan smiled, raising his glass and clinking it with Ning Yunge’s. "Come on, come on! After this one, there are three more to go!" Ning Yunge tilted her head back, drained her glass, and immediately refilled it. Ning Yunshi asked, "Weren’t we only drinking three rounds?" Ning Yunge stuck out her tongue playfully. "Sis, you’re no fun. That was a line from a song, not a real promise to drink three more!" With that, Ning Yunge drank another glass with Su Xuan. Seeing this, Ning Yunshi just shook her head. She was truly at her wits’ end with her lively and unrestrained younger sister. Half an hour later, they had finished two bottles of liquor. Ning Yunshi had consumed nearly half a bottle herself. Besides Su Xuan, who was still in good shape, both sisters were getting a bit tipsy. "Brother-in-law, let’s not just drink. Let’s sing!" Ning Yunge rubbed her slightly full stomach and walked over to the song selection console. She grinned at Su Xuan. "What song would you like to sing?" "You two go first," Su Xuan said, picking up a glass and drinking by himself. "I’ll drink a little more." Not treating him like a stranger, Ning Yunge chose a song she liked and started singing. After finishing, she picked a duet and pulled her older sister up to sing with her. Su Xuan leaned back on the sofa, drink in hand, watching the beautiful sisters swaying gently in front of the screen as they sang. A smile bloomed on his lips. Then he closed his eyes and began to think. Before I got the system, all I wanted was to live an ordinary and free life. When I grew old, I would sit on a bench, watching the clouds drift by and the flowers bloom and fade in my courtyard. But now, with the system, my life has started to become magical. I’ve met so many interesting people and encountered so many interesting things. Like the sisters in front of me. Like how tonight, with just a simple transaction, I might make over a hundred million... That was unimaginable before! I can no longer imagine what the future holds for me. What achievements will I obtain? I can’t help but feel... excited! Su Xuan picked up his glass, drained the full measure of liquor in one go, and slammed the empty glass back down on the table. Full of heroic spirit, he declared, "Yunge, queue up an oldie for me! ’The Laughing Proud Wanderer’!" "You got it!" Ning Yunge immediately selected the song for him. In an instant, a melody filled with ancient charm began to play. Su Xuan walked to the front, took the microphone, cleared his throat, and began to sing. *The vast sea laughs!* *Tides surge on both shores!* *Floating or sinking, let the waves decide our day!* *The vast sky laughs!* *Endless tides of the world!* *Who loses, who wins, only heaven can say...* Brother-in-law is so cool! the younger sister thought, sitting on the sofa and cupping her face, her expression completely mesmerized. So charming and dominant! If he were born in ancient times, he would have been a dashing, handsome swordsman on a spirited steed, right? Perhaps, her older sister thought, sitting beside her. He could also have been a great poet, whose literary brilliance astounded the world. He carries a particularly refined elegance about him. The older sister picked a slice of watermelon from the fruit platter for her sibling, but her gaze never left Su Xuan’s back. The younger sister chewed on her watermelon. "I don’t like poets, I like swordsmen." The older sister replied, "I like great poets." Suddenly, they looked at each other. They both realized at once that Su Xuan embodied a mixture of qualities that perfectly fulfilled both of their romantic fantasies for a partner... "Sis, let’s... let’s have a drink!" the younger sister said, awkwardly raising her glass. "Right... a drink!" The older sister was just as embarrassed, and she downed her glass in one gulp. Just then, the door to the private room was shoved open. A burly, bare-chested man staggered in. He didn’t care if he knew Su Xuan or not. Reeking of alcohol, he threw an arm over Su Xuan’s shoulder. "Bro, your rendition of ’The Laughing Proud Wanderer’ is too damn awesome! You drew me all the way over from the next room! Come on, let’s sing together!" As he spoke, the shirtless man shoved his face toward the microphone in Su Xuan’s hand and began to belt out a tune. His singing sounded like wolves howling and ghosts wailing; it was excruciating. The Ning sisters couldn’t help but cover their ears. Finished with his "performance," the man didn’t leave. His eyes scanned the room and lit up when he saw the Ning sisters on the sofa. "Dude, you even brought two pretty ladies! Come on, let’s play dice! Guessing big or small, liar’s dice, blackjack... I’m a master at all of them!" The man slapped his greasy belly and started walking toward the sisters. A hand landed heavily on his shoulder. He turned his head. "We’ve sung our song," Su Xuan said, his eyes narrowed. "Now, please return to your own room. How about it?" If Su Zimo had been there, she would have known the moment Su Xuan narrowed his eyes that his mood had shifted. If the man didn’t know when to back down, he was certainly in for a bad end. "How about ’no’!" The man shrugged off Su Xuan’s hand, wiped the drool from the corner of his mouth, and, oblivious to the danger, continued toward the sisters. The aura around Su Xuan instantly transformed, becoming as sharp as a newly unsheathed sword...
