Chapter 14: You Are the Big Sister

The nightclub was a scene of neon lights, flowing wine, and sheer decadence.

Suppressing her disgust, Yun Ci found the private booth and gave the door a light kick to open it.

Qin Yu and his lackeys were lounging on the sofas. They looked up to see a girl standing in the doorway, silhouetted against the light. Her expression was somber, her eyes cold, radiating an aura that suggested she was ready for a fight.

It took them a long moment to snap out of their daze.

Qin Yu immediately stood up to greet her. "So, you finally showed up, Classmate Yun Ci."

He then shot a meaningful glance at his lackeys.

The lackeys promptly picked up their drinks, poised and ready.

*This brat is looking for trouble!*

Yun Ci stepped inside, her peripheral vision sweeping over the various bottles and jars on the coffee table.

As soon as she sat down, Qin Yu pushed a drink toward her.

"I specially prepared these drinks just for you."

His tone was laced with ill intent.

"Which one would you like to try first, Classmate Yun Ci?"

Yun Ci raised an eyebrow. "Doesn't matter."

Qin Yu didn't want to waste any more time; he planned to get this brat drunk in a single glass. A ruthless glint flashed in his eyes as he picked out the strongest bottle.

Just as he was about to pour it into a glass, Yun Ci suddenly reached out to block him.

Qin Yu looked at her in surprise. "Classmate Yun Ci, what are you—"

Without a word, Yun Ci snatched the bottle from his hand, tilted her swan-like neck back, and began to chug it directly.

Everyone was instantly stunned.

*She’s this aggressive right out of the gate?!*

In a flash, the bottle was empty. Without a hint of a flush or a change in her steady breathing, Yun Ci looked up at Qin Yu, her eyes—far from being clear and innocent—filled with provocation.

*Holy crap, is this brat actually a heavy drinker?*

Not wanting to lose face, Qin Yu grabbed a bottle and began chugging as well, with his lackeys following suit.

After several rounds, they were all knocked out, leaving not a single one standing. Yun Ci, however, remained seated on the sofa, as immovable as a mountain.

Qin Yu lay on the floor, retching violently, his previous arrogance completely vanished.

Yun Ci casually grabbed one of the lackeys by the collar and continued to pour alcohol down his throat.

The lackey, dizzy and disoriented, began to cry and beg for mercy. "I can't... I can't drink anymore... You're the boss, you're the big sister, please let me go... *sob*..."

Yun Ci said coldly, "If you don't want to drink, then speak up. What was your purpose in calling me here?"

The lackey clamped his mouth shut.

"Not talking? Fine. It seems you haven't had enough to drink yet." Yun Ci swapped for a bottle of hard liquor.

"No, no, no! I'll talk, I'll talk!" the lackey blurted out. "...The boss wanted to get you drunk... strip your clothes, take provocative photos, and post them online. Who told you... who told you to be so reckless and bully Princess Feiyue..."

As expected... it was because of Ruan Feiyue.

Yun Ci narrowed her eyes and let out a small smile.

A camera was sitting on the coffee table.

She reached out, picked up the camera, and walked straight up to Qin Yu. Using her toe, she flipped him over, leaned down, and ripped open his collar.

After a few seconds of silence, Yun Ci straightened up and walked out of the booth. She called over a male bartender, pressed the camera and a large stack of cash into his hands, and pointed toward the booth behind her. "Do me a favor."

***

The night wind carried a bone-chilling cold. Having finished her business, Yun Ci had just stepped out of the nightclub's main entrance when a dark figure suddenly flashed before her, and she collided head-on with a wall of flesh.

She took two steps back and looked up, only to see a man's handsome face entering her field of vision.

Jun Siche?

Yun Ci's heart skipped a beat, but her expression remained calm. She turned to walk around him.

Suddenly, her wrist was gripped tightly.

The man's deep voice sounded above her head.

"You've even followed me all the way here?"

Yun Ci turned to look at him. His deep eyes felt like a massive web, pinning her down like prey.

"What do you mean by that?"

Jun Siche's thin, blade-like lips curled into a half-smile. He reached out and pinched her chin. "Playing dumb? Who do you think your clumsy acting can fool?"

Yun Ci grit her teeth, suppressing her fury.

*This man is insane, but I can overlook it!*

"Hmm? Why aren't you speaking?" Jun Siche lightly brushed his thumb against her cheek. An air of arrogance drifted from his brow as he spoke unhurriedly, "I can understand your feelings of infatuation, but I must remind you: our relationship is merely a marriage alliance. You are not qualified to interfere in my private life."

*Damn it, I can't take this anymore!*

Yun Ci kicked the man in the knee, pushed him away, and turned to leave.

However, just as she took a step, someone caught her around the waist from behind.
