Since Leng Yanran still has the mind to drink, I might as well "help her fend off the drinks" and maybe I can complete the system task.

I arrived at the Emperor Club very quickly.

This is a common gathering place for the upper class in Jiangcheng.

Leng Yanran used to come here often for drinks, and the original owner of this body also often came to pick her up.

So the receptionist at the club already knew me.

They assumed I was there to pick up Leng Yanran again, so they didn't stop me and let me in directly.

The club's decor was extremely luxurious, befitting the name "Emperor." It truly resembled a palace, extravagant to the extreme.

However, I don't care about these things.

I arrived outside the VIP 08 room and quietly peeked inside through the crack in the door.

Upon seeing this, I felt my blood boil and my anger flared up instantly.

At this moment, Leng Yanran, dressed in a white suit and short skirt, was sitting on the sofa in the middle, holding a wine glass.

And sitting right next to her was none other than her kept assistant, Xu Yunfan.

Good heavens, Xu Yunfan has actually been discharged from the hospital, and he's already inseparable from Leng Yanran again.

Leng Yanran is really carefree. Her eyes were swollen from my punch, and she could only rely on thick foundation to cover the bruises around her eyes, yet she still insisted on going out and drinking wildly.

Haha, this woman is completely hopeless.

Besides Leng Yanran and Xu Yunfan, almost all of Leng Yanran's "good" best friends were also present.

Yi Chuhong, Xiao Mingluan, and Bai Fengxian stood on either side, each holding a wine glass and happily drinking. They seemed quite pleased with themselves.

The only person who seemed to be absent was Qin Hongyan.

The woman was the director of the Jiangcheng Bureau of Commerce, a high-ranking position.

I heard she went on a business trip. Otherwise, if she had come, given her status, she would probably have been even more high-profile than Leng Yanran.

I didn't push the door open immediately, but instead leaned against the crack in the door and eavesdropped.

"Sister Yanran, I heard that bastard He Qiang attacked you again."

Xu Yunfan's pitiful voice came through, carrying an innate sense of shamelessness.

"It's all my fault. If I hadn't angered He Qiang, you wouldn't have been implicated, sister."

"Don't mention that beast."

Leng Yanran's voice rang out.

"Yunfan, tonight's gathering is to celebrate your recovery and discharge from the hospital. Let's all be happy and not mention irrelevant people."

Well, so I, the legitimate husband, am now a nobody?

I really want to laugh.

"Oh, Yanran is right. Yunfan, you're finally being discharged from the hospital, shouldn't we celebrate?"

Bai Fengxian's voice rang out.

"Sister Fengxian, how do you plan to celebrate?"

Xu Yunfan looked at Bai Fengxian with a smile.

Bai Fengxian didn't answer, but instead looked at Yi Chuhong opposite her: "Chuhong, what do you think?"

Yi Chuhong blurted out, "Since it's a celebration, shouldn't we drink a toast together?"

As soon as Yi Chuhong said those words, she immediately regretted them.

She recalled our previous conversation and realized that a large part of my suffering over the years was actually caused by her so-called best friends.

She had promised to help me persuade Leng Yanran, but now she's making Leng Yanran and Xu Yunfan drink a toast together. Isn't this just like before, continuing to cause me trouble?

She rubbed her head with some self-reproach, deeply hating herself for her habitual thinking, which she couldn't change for the moment.

However, the words have already been spoken and cannot be taken back.

She could only manage a forced laugh, then lowered her head and drank her wine in silence, saying nothing more.

Although she remained silent, Xu Yunfan seized the opportunity precisely.

He held his wine glass, his eyes sparkling as he looked at Leng Yanran, his tone pleading and ingratiating: "Sister Yanran, it's just a game, is that alright?"

Leng Yanran did not speak at first.

She frowned slightly, as if she was still struggling with her thoughts.

"Sister Yanran, are you afraid that Brother He Qiang will be angry if he finds out?"

Xu Yunfan used a provocation tactic at the right time.

As expected, upon hearing this, Leng Yanran immediately raised an eyebrow: "What are you afraid of him for? Who does he think he is?"

"Come, let's drink a toast together!"

After Leng Yanran finished speaking, she took the initiative to extend her arm and intertwine with Xu Yunfan, and they drank the nuptial wine together.

The actions of the two men left the other three women somewhat mesmerized.

Yi Chuhong opened her mouth, wanting to offer some advice, but couldn't bring herself to say it, since it was she who had suggested it.

Xiao Mingluan is a lawyer, naturally aloof and possessing a certain moral standard, so she also felt that this matter was not good, and her brows furrowed tightly as a result.

The remaining one, Bai Fengxian, is a nationally renowned surgeon.

She had only recently returned from a business trip and was not very clear about what had happened recently.

She was already used to Leng Yanran's intimate behavior with the young men, so she didn't find it particularly novel, but just watched with interest.

Just as Leng Yanran and Xu Yunfan were drinking their toast, I slowly pushed open the door to the private room and went inside.

"It's quite lively."

I stood at the doorway, smiling at everyone with a calm expression.

Several people looked at me simultaneously.

Upon realizing it was me, Yi Chuhong's eyelids twitched, and she instinctively tightened her grip on the wine glass in her hand.

Xiao Mingluan was also a little nervous. She quickly put down her wine glass and stood up, wanting to say something.

Bai Fengxian glanced at me, her expression unchanged, her eyes still holding the same disdain and contempt.

Apart from the three women, Leng Yanran and Xu Yunfan remained remarkably calm.

Even though they clearly saw me come in, they still slowly finished drinking the nuptial wine before reluctantly letting go and turning to look at me.

"He Qiang, don't misunderstand, Yanran was just playing a game with Yunfan—"

Xiao Mingluan wanted to explain to me.

But before she could finish speaking, Leng Yanran interrupted her.

"Mingluan, what are you doing?"

Leng Yanran interrupted her, slowly poured a glass of red wine, then walked over to me with the glass in her hand, squinting at me.

"Do we need to explain to him what we're doing?"

"Who does he think he is? Just a spineless gigolo!"

As Leng Yanran spoke, a cold smile appeared on her lips.

"Ridiculous! Some people don't even know their own limitations and want to test my patience!"

She then changed the subject, glaring at me and saying, "He Qiang, let me tell you, even if you kneel down and apologize to me today, I will never forgive you, do you understand?!"

As she spoke, she raised her hand.

"Whoosh—"

A soft sound.

She poured the entire glass of wine directly onto my face.

I didn't say anything, just wiped the wine off my face and licked it with my tongue.

A nice red wine, the taste is authentic, it looks like a high-end product.

[Ding! The host has successfully saved a drink for his wife. Mission progress 1/3!]

Just then, a system notification sounded in my mind.

Holy crap, this works?

Getting splashed with wine all over your head and face, does that count as doing a task?

If the system calculates it that way, then wouldn't I be...

Thinking of this, a thought struck me, and I reached out and took the wine glasses from Yi Chuhong and Xiao Mingluan.

"If you want to spill it, you can have two more glasses."

I handed the wine glass to Leng Yanran.

"You think I wouldn't dare?!"

Leng Yanran sneered, snatched the two glasses of wine, and splashed them all on my face.

The system notification tone did not sound.

Why isn't it working?

While I was filled with curiosity, I subconsciously licked the wine off my lips.

[Ding! The host has successfully shielded his wife from two drinks. Mission progress 2/3!]

[Ding! The host has successfully shielded his wife from three drinks. Mission progress 3/3!]

It turns out that I have to actually drink all three glasses of wine for the mission to be considered complete.

[Ding! Congratulations, host, for completing your first mission! Reward: 3 free attribute points, basic cooking skill, and +3 to your spouse's intimacy level!]

[Does the host accept the new mission?]

At a time like this, who's in the mood to accept any new tasks?

I immediately disabled the system, squinted at Leng Yanran in front of me, and asked, "Are you satisfied now?"

Leng Yanran placed the empty wine glass on the table, raised an eyebrow at me, and said, "What, not enough?"

I grinned and said, "That's enough, that's been enough for a long time."

The task has been completed, isn't that enough?

Leng Yanran was stunned for a moment, clearly not understanding why I reacted this way.

"You've had enough, but I haven't! You think this is over?"

Leng Yanran frowned as she looked at me, observing my reaction.

Upon noticing my calm expression, she snorted coldly, assuming that I had reverted to being her lapdog, someone she could insult and trample on at will.

Once she understood this, she immediately became arrogant.

She glared at me and said coldly, "He Qiang, I'm going to make you regret everything you've done."

"Kneel down and kowtow to me to apologize!"

"You think you're the Empress Dowager? You think you're some kind of deity?"

I frowned at her and gave her a cold retort.

"How dare you!"

She gave a cold shout and raised her hand to slap my face.

"Snapped!"

With a sharp crack, I received another solid slap.

I'm so drunk!

It's only been a few days?

How many slaps have I gotten?

Your face is almost swollen from being slapped!

However, now that I've completed my mission, I don't need to worry about anything anymore, and I can unleash my full power with Mad Dog Fist.

"I think you're the bold one!"

I sneered, jumped up, and slapped Leng Yanran across the face with all my might.

I hit Leng Yanran so hard she spun around on the spot and almost fell to the ground.

"Yanran, watch out!"

Yi Chuhong, who was closest, quickly stepped forward to support Leng Yanran.

Xiao Mingluan and Bai Fengxian also stepped forward, wanting to denounce me.

I didn't give them a chance to speak. I stepped forward, grabbed Leng Yanran by the collar, and slapped her again.

"You bitch, you're asking for it! You've gotten used to being beaten up, haven't you?"

"I'll teach you to be so cheeky!"

I slapped Leng Yanran twice more, wanting her to know what was really going on.

[Ding! Warning! Warning! The host has maliciously assaulted his wife (the bound partner) and is about to be punished with electric shock!]

Just as I was having a great time playing, the system's voice suddenly rang out.

I was immediately taken aback, my mind filled with doubt.

What's wrong with this system?

Why do you even care if I hit someone?

Does this mean that once I'm tied to my wife, I can't even hit her?

What's the logic behind this?

Besides, how did I commit malicious assault?

She threw wine at me and slapped my face first!

How can this damn system not distinguish right from wrong?

"laugh--"

With a soft sound, before I could even explain, I was suddenly struck by an electric current.

Instantly, I trembled all over in pain, screamed, and collapsed to the ground.

Every muscle in my body was trembling, as if being torn apart by a thousand snakes, causing excruciating pain.
