Chapter 331

We tried to bypass the Bull Director's Word Spirit to let the director taste a sip of the fine wine brewed with the God of Wine's beads, but we were caught on the spot by the Bull Director, who turned the wine into chili oil and burned our mouths swollen...

How could one say such a thing?

After hearing Auntie Auntie Ai Ma's question, Li Ang's first reaction was to look at the red-haired director beside him, hoping she would take responsibility as the director and brush off the swollen mouth issue. At the very least, he didn't want Senior Auntie Auntie Ai Ma to know that he had actually agreed to such an outrageous request.

However, he wasn't the only one thinking that.

After receiving Li Ang's "Aren't you going to say something?" look, the red-haired director glared right back without hesitation. Her fox-like eyes, still rimmed with tears, clearly showed her intention to shirk responsibility.

According to the customs of Kingdom civil servants, the subordinate's credit belongs to the superior, and the subordinate takes the blame for the superior! Now is the time for you, the subordinate, to play your part. Hurry up and take the blame for me!

No way! If I take the blame and Senior Auntie Auntie Ai Ma finds out I accompanied you in throwing away all sense of propriety, what will she think of me in the future?

If you can't face her, can I? If she finds out about this, do you know how long I'll be lectured for?

"What on earth is going on!"

After waiting for a while and finding that Li Ang and the director were just exchanging glances but neither was answering her question, Auntie Auntie Ai Ma couldn't help but say anxiously:

"Speak up! How did you end up with swollen mouths just from returning a coffin?"

"..."

"..."

Director, say something! Senior Auntie Auntie Ai Ma is getting anxious!

I won't! If you force me to speak, I'll say you forced yourself on me!???

Speak quickly! If you don't, I will!

From the director's eyes, Li Ang vaguely read the meaning of "going all out." Forced into a corner with no other choice, he had to bite the bullet and open his mouth, racking his brains to explain, but even after draining his brain, he couldn't think of a suitable excuse.

After stammering with his mouth open for a while, seeing Senior Auntie Auntie Ai Ma's gaze shift from worry to suspicion, Li Ang suddenly had a flash of inspiration. He first pointed to his throat, then shook his head while waving his hands vigorously.

"Mmph! Mmph! Wah wah!"

My throat is hoarse, I can't speak, don't ask me! Go ask the director!???

No... can you even do that?

Surprised by Li Ang's impromptu act of pretending to be mute, the red-haired director instinctively opened her mouth, wanting to learn from his advanced experience. However, Auntie Auntie Ai Ma, who had discovered something was wrong, narrowed her eyes and "blocked the road":

"Olivia! Don't tell me your throat is hoarse too!"

It's hoarse, it's hoarse! I'm really hoarse! We're both hoarse! So...

"If you're hoarse too, then use your soul to speak!"

"..."

"What on earth is going on, speak to me right now!"

"I'll say it... I'll say it, it's all Li Ang's fault!"

In Li Ang's shocked gaze, the red-haired director, having given up on all pretense, actually raised her hand to point at herself and blathered with a tearful face:

"He forced a kiss on me! He kissed me until my mouth was swollen!"

"Hu Nao! I didn't at all!"

"Aren't you mute? What is a mute person saying? Shut your mouth right now!"

"..."

"The two of you... you really opened my eyes!"

Accompanied by a comment that was identical in content to the Bull Director's, even if the tone was vastly different, Auntie Auntie Ai Ma, standing on the Crocodile God's head, complained with annoyance:

"For a bottle of wine, you actually went this far! Olivia, you really are... would you die if you didn't have that sip?"

"Um... good Auntie Auntie Ai Ma, today is my birthday after all, can you lecture me a little less..."

"Don't say it's just your birthday; even if today were your death anniversary, I'd still say it!"

Senior Auntie Auntie Ai Ma, who was always gentle, seemed truly angered. After saying a rare harsh word to the red-haired director, she turned to look at Li Ang, who was standing to the side with a look of shame, and said with a tone of disappointment:

"You too! I'm not surprised Olivia is acting recklessly, but I didn't expect you to join her in this nonsense! Do you remember what you promised the Bull Director?

Li Ang, Olivia's mind and strength are fine, her only weakness is alcohol. If she doesn't change it, something will happen sooner or later. Instead of helping to correct Olivia's alcoholism, you actually... you actually... you two are really!"

"Uh... I just thought, since today is the director's birthday, and her birthday wish was just to have a sip, I felt soft-hearted..."

After explaining powerlessly, Li Ang remembered the promise he made when asking the Bull Director for the wine. He lowered his head in shame and then promised earnestly:

"Senior Auntie Auntie Ai Ma, I promise this is the only time. From now on, I definitely won't join the director in her nonsense again!"

"What do you mean 'join me in my nonsense'?"

Hearing Li Ang's words, the red-haired director, who was sitting on the Crocodile God's head, turned back and argued with dissatisfaction:

"Except for Auntie Auntie Ai Ma, this is the first time I've kissed someone else's mouth. Why do you make it sound like you've been defiled? Whether you look at my appearance or my figure, you're not losing out by being kissed by me, are you?"

"..."

To be fair, if you calculate it that way, he really wasn't losing out, but the premise was that you shouldn't have choked him while kissing! That sudden move of yours was deadly; it almost squeezed the wine out of his nose!

Also, what do you mean by "except for Auntie Auntie Ai Ma, the first time kissing someone else's mouth"? Listening to the meaning behind these words, it sounds like you two...

"What nonsense are you spouting!"

Seeing Auntie Auntie Ai Ma look embarrassed under Li Ang's surprised and suspicious gaze, she glared at the red-haired director and then turned to explain to Li Ang:

"At that time, Olivia was drunk, and I was dragging her to the second floor. She was mumbling things like 'Auntie Auntie Ai Ma, you're so good,' and hugged me, wanting to kiss my face. I just happened to turn my head to scold her, and accidentally brushed against her mouth... it really was just a brush, nothing else!"

"Oh..."

Nodding skeptically, Li Ang looked at Auntie Auntie Ai Ma, who was slightly embarrassed, and wisely didn't continue asking about the kissing. Instead, he looked at her right hand, which hadn't completely recovered from the jade transformation, and asked with concern:

"Senior Auntie Auntie Ai Ma, how much longer until your hand recovers? The day after tomorrow is your daughter's birthday."

After experiencing so many life-and-death situations these days, you actually still remember Ellie's birthday?

After looking at Li Ang with some surprise, Auntie Auntie Ai Ma's expression warmed slightly, and she smiled:

"It's no problem. Although it won't be fully healed by the day after tomorrow, as long as I wrap my hand with the 【Wandering Snake Bandage】 and am careful not to bump into any hard objects, it'll be fine. It won't affect me celebrating Ellie's birthday.

By the way, Li Ang, the matter I entrusted to you before..."

"Don't worry, I've written it all down in my notebook. 8:00 AM on the 6th, under the big tree at the entrance of Baohua Manor on Redwood Avenue. I'll definitely be there!"

"Thank you..."
