章節 19: Knight in shining armour

YIREN (Part1)

The drinks keep coming, and after the night I've had, I'm more than happy to let the alcohol work its magic. It takes the edge off, loosens the tension in my shoulders, and lets me relax into the playful atmosphere Suyin, MeiMei, and I have built at the table. The guys are still engrossed in their serious discussion across the room, their brows furrowed in deep concentration. It's almost amusing how intense they look, and Suyin notices too.

"What do you think they're talking about?" MeiMei says, her eyes glinting with mischief. "Business? Or who looks better in a tux?"

Suyin fans herself dramatically, a grin tugging at her lips. "Does it really matter? Have you seen how good they look tonight?"

I giggle, the alcohol giving me a boldness I didn't expect. "If I'm being honest," I start, lowering my voice in a conspiratorial whisper, "I wouldn't mind being bent over by Jun."
