Chapter 269

"Why did you come out after drinking half?"

Looking at Li Ang, who walked out of the storage room with a flushed face and unsteady steps, the red-haired Director, who had been squatting for him for a long time, couldn't help but say sarcastically:

"Our Prince, do you feel that drinking alone is not fun, and you want to come out to find a few pretty girls to drink with you to relieve your boredom?"

"That... also... works..."

Contrary to the red-haired Director's expectations, faced with her sarcasm, Li Ang did not smile shyly and embarrassedly, but nodded vigorously. Then he staggered over, his eyes a bit hazy, and grinned:

"Drinking alone... is meaningless. It's better if someone is with me... I think... you are very good..."

"……"

Oh?

After hearing Li Ang's words, the red-haired Director looked at the palm resting on her shoulder, her eyebrows couldn't help but twitch slightly, and her pair of beautiful fox eyes narrowed instantly.

You bastard, you have fine wine and don't bring me to drink with you, and now after getting drunk, you actually use the wine to flirt with me? How is this different from another woman using my husband to have a child and then making me raise it?

"Fine~ whatever the Prince says~"

Reaching out to grab Li Ang's palm and pulling it onto her shoulder, the red-haired Director supported the drunken Li Ang and walked smilingly toward his office, suggesting as she walked:

"However, I don't really drink, but I know someone who is very good at drinking. Do you want to find her to accompany you?"

"No... no... problem..."

Passing by his own office and being brought to the door of Senior Auntie Auntie Ai Ma's office, the drunken Li Ang giggled and then tried to persuade her to stay:

"The two of you together... more people... lively!"

"……"

Want it lively? Fine! Then I'll let you have a good time!

Glancing sideways at the heavily drunken Li Ang, the red-haired Director couldn't help but sneer, then reached out and pushed open the door of Auntie Auntie Ai Ma's office, walking in while supporting the drunken Li Ang.

"Li Ang? How much did you drink?"

Seeing Li Ang's appearance, Auntie Auntie Ai Ma, who was writing a report behind her desk, couldn't help but be slightly startled. Then she couldn't help but look at the red-haired Director, casting a slightly resentful look at her.

It's all your fault. The steady and reliable Li Ang of the past has almost been turned into a big drunkard by you!

What does it have to do with me? I didn't hold a wine bottle... uh... I almost never held a wine bottle and forced him to drink. Most of the time he wanted to drink himself, okay? I'm at most only fifty percent to blame.

After returning a speechless look to Senior Auntie Auntie Ai Ma, the red-haired Director blinked her eyes and used her eyes to "convey a message" with malicious intent:

By the way, Auntie Auntie Ai Ma, what about the trick you used to scare me awake that time when I was drunk and insisted on hugging you to sleep? Come, come, use it on him to help him sober up!

That's not good, right? Li Ang will have psychological trauma.

It's fine, it's just to help him quit drinking. This bastard just wanted to have both of us accompany him to drink. Scaring him is just right to make him learn a lesson.

Really? Li Ang would say such things? You're not lying to me, are you?

……

"I didn't... didn't drink much... just one sip from each of those thousand bottles... by the way, Senior Auntie Auntie Ai Ma!"

Just as the red-haired Director and Senior Auntie Auntie Ai Ma were glaring at each other and exchanging opinions fiercely with their eyes, Li Ang seemed to sober up a little. He then let go of the arm resting on the red-haired Director's shoulder, stepped forward, and grabbed Senior Auntie Auntie Ai Ma's palm.

"I have always... wanted to thank you."

After saying an opening remark that surprised both of them, Li Ang grabbed Senior Auntie Auntie Ai Ma's fair and soft palm and said with a moved face:

"Since joining the Cleanup Bureau, you have helped me a lot, giving me handy weapons, teaching me how to do missions, and tirelessly telling me how to ensure my own safety during missions... oh, and the Director too!"

In the red-haired Director's slightly stunned expression, Li Ang let go and turned to look at her, his hazy, drunken eyes full of gratitude:

"If it weren't for the Director letting me join the Cleanup Bureau, I'm afraid I would have already... um... and the Director's care for me, I have always kept it in my heart and never forgotten it.

Although my current strength is still insufficient and the help I can provide is still relatively limited, I... definitely... will continue to work hard and become a more reliable person in the future that you can entrust with peace of mind!"

"……"

This... why are you suddenly saying such heartwarming words? It really is... really makes people feel quite embarrassed...

After receiving Auntie Auntie Ai Ma's reproachful look of "You really are talking nonsense, Li Ang wouldn't say such things," the red-haired Director, who felt a bit warm inside, couldn't help but sigh helplessly and gave up the plan to take the opportunity to tease Li Ang severely. It's just a pity...

"The pity is that the Director also has quite a few shortcomings."

Li Ang, who had drunk more than a thousand kinds of wine and was swaying even while standing, commented bluntly without restraint:

"The Director who hasn't drunk is very reliable, but the Director who is drunk is simply as simple-minded as a female monkey. Apart from drinking, drinking, and drinking, she can't hold anything else. If she gets in the mood, even my dog passing by would be caught by you and forced to drink two sips;

And if you keep holding back from drinking, Director, you will also be unable to help but find other fun, say some very mean things to tease people, and you are also very vengeful, especially petty, and always give me bad ideas..."

"……"

It seems I really have to help you sober up. If I let you continue counting like this, I'm afraid Olivia will really hold a grudge against you.

Listening to Li Ang's enumeration like beans pouring out of a bamboo tube, and watching the red-haired Director's face getting darker and darker, Auntie Auntie Ai Ma, who couldn't help but laugh, smiled. She then reached out and grabbed Li Ang's palm, and lightly scratched the pad of his thumb with her fingernail.

"Eh?"

Something that made Auntie Auntie Ai Ma extremely surprised happened. Although she could still touch Li Ang's palm normally, that scratch, which could cause intense pain to the soul, turned directly into a false bubble in a strange distortion, as if she had never activated an anomalous object at all.

What is going on?!

The red-haired Director on the side also noticed this strange scene. After frowning in confusion, she saw her snap her fingers, and a few strands of bright red hair fell off quietly, quickly winding toward Li Ang's palm.

However, the scene just now appeared again. After a strange distortion, those strands of 【Slaughtering Blood Hair】 turned into bubbles and disappeared, and Li Ang's wrist became empty again...?!!! Even numbered anomalous objects don't work?!

"Li Ang! Wake up!"

Discovering an incredible anomaly, the red-haired Director hurriedly grabbed Li Ang's shoulders and shook him vigorously as he was getting sleepy, asking with a serious face:

"What is going on with you?"

"Ah? What... what is going on?"

"Of course it's your state! Why were Auntie Auntie Ai Ma's and my anomalous objects directly forcibly restored when they touched you?"

"You mean this..."

After hearing the red-haired Director's question, the sleepy Li Ang laughed.

"I've become an immortal; I'm floating."
