Chapter 359: Chapter 359: Inviting the Wolf into the House
Ji Xiuyuan was simply heartbroken.
Lin Qi looked at her with a devastated expression and said wordlessly, “Is this wine very expensive?”
Momo walked over leisurely, glancing at Ji Xiuyuan with sympathy, “It’s not about being expensive, but this wine is rather rare. Each bottle drunk is one less in the world, priceless in the market. After all, it’s a 1775 vintage, and as you know, Sherry comes from top-tier wineries. Not all wineries have the capability to age wine for centuries and still be drinkable.”
The 1775 Sherry was very limited.
Huo Tingdong would either not open it, or open two bottles at once when he did.
Drinking this one bottle wasn’t just a matter of millions; it was drinking Ji Xiuyuan’s heart, liver, spleen, lungs, and kidneys away.
Ji Xiuyuan suddenly discovered that besides the Sherry, Huo Tingdong had also taken two bottles of Tequila, and his heart ached so much he could hardly breathe, “Why did you take these two out as well?”
Huo Tingdong asked righteously in return, “How are two bottles of wine enough? Or do you think that, with my net worth, you can fob me off with just two bottles of Sherry?”
Qi Lichuan said, “Ji Xiuyuan, oh Ji Xiuyuan, you’re leading a wolf into the house.”
Ji Xiuyuan leapt up and pointed at Huo Tingdong, yelling, “You’re despicable!”
Huo Tingdong glanced at him with a light and breezy look, turned around, and raised his glass to Qi Lichuan, “Cheers.”
“Clink.”
The stem glasses touched lightly, making a crisp sound.
Qi Lichuan asked, “Did you have fun at the amusement park today?”
He heard that Ji Xiuyuan had disguised himself, transforming into a seventy-or-eighty-year-old man to sneak into the amusement park.
Huo Tingdong looked meaningfully at Ji Xiuyuan, “Dad, did you enjoy yourself?”
Qi Lichuan was stunned for a moment and looked at Ji Xiuyuan, “Dad?”
Ji Xiuyuan’s face turned red, “I was wrong.”
Lin Qi explained, “Ji Xiuyuan dressed up as a grandpa, pretending to be his father.”
Qi Lichuan said, “You’ve got some nerve, are you looking for trouble?”
Huo Tingdong walked over to Ji Xiuyuan and kicked the stool he was sitting on, “Go grill the meat!”
Ji Xiuyuan obediently went to the barbecue grill to cook the meat.
The family of four sat down around the long table.
Qi Lichuan sat across from Huo Tingdong and looked at Ji Xiuyuan with sympathy.
Soon, Ji Xiuyuan brought over the grilled meat he had cooked.
Momo glanced at it and said with disdain, “You’ve burnt some parts.”
Han also showed a look of disdain.
Ji Xiuyuan took a bite of one skewer, “It’s not burnt at all.”
Momo said, “I’ll grill it myself!”
He dared not eat what Ji Xiuyuan grilled, in case food poisoning struck.
Han followed along excitedly.
Ji Xiuyuan settled down beside Lin Qi with a clear conscience. Lin Qi thoughtfully poured him a glass of Sherry, and after a sip, he finally felt relieved.
Shortly after, Momo brought over the meat he had grilled.
Qi Lichuan was somewhat impressed, “This meat is grilled so well! Tingdong, let me adopt your son; I need a son who can cook!”
Momo glared at him, “You’re worthy?”
With that, he turned and walked away.
Qi Lichuan: “…”
This kid is so arrogant, just like his father!
The two Little Babies sat in front of the grill, grilling and eating happily.
After eating and drinking their fill, Ji Xiuyuan suddenly suggested excitedly, “Just drinking is boring, why don’t we play a game?”
Qi Lichuan raised his eyebrow, “What game?”
Ji Xiuyuan, “The truth or Drink!”
The truth or Drink, translated, is literally “Truth or Drink,” a drinking game.
Roll the dice, compare points, and the person with the higher points can ask any question of the person with fewer points—anything goes, no holds barred.
If the other party can’t answer or fails to respond, then they have to drink a penalty shot.
The tougher the questions, the better.
Lin Qi heard this and immediately found it interesting: “Sure.”
She rarely encountered such games and found them novel.
Huo Tingdong pushed her back into his embrace: “You’re not allowed to play.”
When Ji Xiuyuan heard this, he frowned: “Hey, can’t you take a bit of fun? Didn’t you hear that sister-in-law wants to play? Sister-in-law, does he always control you this strictly? He won’t even let you play these little games.”
Huo Tingdong said: “She’s pregnant, she can’t drink.”
Ji Xiuyuan: “Then why don’t you drink on her behalf?”
Huo Tingdong: “Then go get some more fine liquor from your cellar.”
Ji Xiuyuan, now on a roll, couldn’t care less about feeling heartache, and waved to the butler: “Bring out all the tequila from the cellar!”
The butler brought a wooden crate of tequila.
Ji Xiuyuan directly opened a bottle.
The game started, ladies first.
Lin Qi rolled a pair of dice, totaling 11 points.
Qi Lichuan rolled 10 points.
Huo Tingdong and Ji Xiuyuan got 9 points and 3 points respectively.
Ji Xiuyuan was dumbstruck.
He turned to Lin Qi with a beggar’s gaze: “Sister-in-law, ask me a question!”
Lin Qi said with a smile: “Recite the last 10 digits of π.”
Ji Xiuyuan: “…”
Qi Lichuan chuckled, “Just drink, with such a perverted question he definitely can’t answer.”
Lin Qi was taken aback: “Is this question hard? It’s pretty easy.”
Ji Xiuyuan howled: “This question isn’t hard? Sister-in-law, can you even recite it?”
Lin Qi smiled: “3.1415926535…” She briskly recited the next twenty digits.
Ji Xiuyuan immediately raised both hands in surrender: “Okay, okay! I lose, I’ll take the punishment drink.”
Who would have thought, sister-in-law is actually an academic prodigy!!
He gritted his teeth and downed a shot of drink: “Continue!”
In the second round, Ji Xiuyuan had the highest points, while Huo Tingdong had the lowest.
“YES!”
Ji Xiuyuan was excited, his face flushed with triumph, and when he raised his head to glare at Huo Tingdong, Huo Tingdong just needed one glance to know that Ji Xiuyuan’s mind was bursting with X-rated questions ready to pop out.
He warned: “Don’t ask questions that are too indecent.”
Ji Xiuyuan turned to Lin Qi, raising an eyebrow: “Sister-in-law, want me to dig up some dirt on him for you?”
Lin Qi: “What dirt?”
Ji Xiuyuan turned towards Huo Tingdong, asking meaningfully: “How many women have shared a close physical intimacy with you?”
Huo Tingdong answered without hesitation: “One.”
Ji Xiuyuan: “…” Really? Or maybe not?
Is he that naive?
Ji Xiuyuan was somewhat regretful: “Wait a minute!! That question doesn’t count!”
Huo Tingdong: “Get lost!”
Qi Lichuan: “Can’t take the heat?”
Ji Xiuyuan, with his face bright red, grabbed the electronic dice cup he downloaded onto his phone: “Continue!!”
A clatter.
Ji Xiuyuan rolled a 12, the highest score of the round, with Huo Tingdong still the lowest.
“Hehe, my turn again!” Ji Xiuyuan couldn’t wait and tossed out another indecent question, “Tingdong, what’s your personal best for an all-nighter?”
Huo Tingdong’s gaze was nearly shooting flames.
In Lin Qi’s presence, Ji Xiuyuan actually dared to ask such a not-suitable-for-children question!?
