Chapter 5 The Soup
I carried the bowl out, smiling.
"Husband, President Li, I simmered this old hen ginseng soup for hours. It is very nourishing. Drink some while it is hot. The rest of the food will be ready soon."
Neither man questioned it. They took the bowls and drank.
Once the last dish was on the table, I sat down and found a glass of liquor in front of me.
I raised an eyebrow at Chen Yuxuan.
"Husband, you know I cannot drink. Can I skip it?"
Li Chengde's face darkened.
Chen Yuxuan poked my arm, voice low.
"Wife, President Li poured it himself. Drink a little or it will look rude."
Watching him rush to push me toward his boss made my disgust peak.
I pouted and lifted the glass under their eager stares.
When the glass was empty, both men looked triumphant.
After several rounds, Li Chengde suddenly collapsed onto the table.
Chen Yuxuan was not much better. He swayed, eyes glassy.
"Wife... President Li drank too much. It is late. Let him stay in the guest room tonight."
I held my head and pretended the room spun.
"All right. I will lie down first..."
I staggered toward the bedroom.
As the door closed, I caught their satisfied glance.
Their faces looked pleased.
They had no idea who the real hunter was.
