He was slightly disappointed that he had not received the message he had been waiting for.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He grinned. “Ji Shu finalized his contract today, right? I’m here for the party as well.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ning Li raised a brow at him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Do they know that you are…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gu Siyang gestured with a glance. “Shhh… They don’t know my real identity. We only just met each other at Xiaosong Hill’s race the other day.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ning Li understood.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gu Siyang had come to the party as a fellow racing enthusiast, not the boss of LY.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ji Shu and friends came over and curiously sized both of them up.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Hey, Sister Lili, do you guys know each other?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gu Siyang excitedly said, “Sister Lili, right? Her reputation precedes her. We ran into each other once before, the other day.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ning Li nodded and played along to help him keep his identity a secret.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Yeah. Once.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Delighted, Ji Shu said, “Great! I thought you would be uncomfortable around someone new, Sister Lili. But since you guys know each other, shall we go in together?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ji Shu and Gu Siyang had only met a few times, but they were both racing enthusiasts. One was even an up-and-coming racer.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gu Siyang might suck at racing but he had clicked with Ji Shu pretty well.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ning Li nodded.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ignite was a club run by Ji Shu and his friends. Both floors of the club were designed with a post-apocalyptic concept.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There was already a crowd in the club at this hour and a band was playing music at the stage on the first floor, boosting the already present liveliness of the place to the next level.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ji Shu led the group up to the second floor. They were able to see the downstairs view from the railing from the second floor which was relatively quieter.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ning Li sat on the single-seater couch while the others crammed together on the longer one.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ji Shu and Gu Siyang sat on either side of her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ji Shu ordered some beer and a glass of lemonade just for Ning Li.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The waiter served a platter of mixed fruits to Ning Li.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“This has been prepared specially for Sister Ning Li. None of you monkeys are allowed to have any of it.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gu Siyang was impressed. He had heard that Ji Shu and Ning Li were close, but had not expected such special treatment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had actually competed in several races with the group and they had socialized a lot. These were outwardly proud and short-tempered young men, but in front of Ning Li, they were like obedient little lambs.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It felt strange because the last time Gu Siyang had met Ning Li, she had given him the impression of being a quiet and obedient girl.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If not for the racing clip, he would have thought that they were different people.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Come on guys, relax.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gu Siyang leaned back against the couch.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“We are friends, just relax! Order whatever you want!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ji Shu and his friends looked at him strangely.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This was their club, not his.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gu Siyang ignored their stares and turned to Ning Li.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“So Ning Li, today’s a Friday. It’s rare to see you out on a weekday.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ji Shu uncorked a bottle of beer with a pop.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He cackled. “Of course Sister Lili is here! She’s here to celebrate my big day! She’s here because of me!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He raised the bottle to perform a toast for Ning Li.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Sister Lili, I couldn’t have done it without you.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If not for Ning Li’s advice, he would have signed on to FN and LY would not have happened.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>FN was a great place but after considering all aspects, his heart leaned towards LY.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He was glad that he had taken Ning Li’s advice.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ning Li raised her glass of lemonade to clink with his bottle.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her lips formed a smile as she looked at the happy boy. “Congratulations, Ji Shu.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The wheel of fate had been deflected since a certain point in time.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ji Shu was over the moon.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Bottom’s up! Sister Lili, just do the best you can.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He drained the bottle of wine to the last drop while the others cheered him on.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Ji Shu, one bottle is not enough! You’ve signed with LY and Sister Lili is here! I think you have to finish a dozen!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I know, right? You are the best out of all of us!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Sister Lili can’t drink, but she can watch you drink! Am I right, Sister Lili?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The others stared at her, waiting for her permission.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gu Siyang found it strange but amusing at the same time.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Why do you guys have to ask for Ning Li’s permission to drink?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They were like children begging for permission from their guardian.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The young men shot a wry look at him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This dumb new guy from Jingcheng knew nothing about the custom here.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ning Li grinned. “It’s Ji Shu’s big day, you guys go ahead and have fun. But, no one is allowed to get behind the wheel for 3 days.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The boys were over the moon with her permission at first, but then they froze after a fraction of a second.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Three days?! Three days are enough for a bird to nest in my car!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I’m still young and my metabolism is still strong. How about one day? Or two?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Sister Lili!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ning Li glanced at them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They were silenced together as they slowly retreated.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Hmm, three days sounds okay.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I stayed up late recently. I’ll be able to sleep at home for three days now! Thank you, Sister Lili!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Sister Lili, you are the best!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ji Shu opened the other bottles of beer with the opener and joked, “Three days? You guys are a bunch of wimps!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ning Li turned to him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The glare from her made him sit up straight instantaneously.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I’ve called my driver! He will fetch me around for the next week!” Ji Shu surrendered almost instantly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The other boys ganged up on him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“You wimp!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gu Siyang was impressed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Ning Li he was seeing tonight was unlike the Ning Li he had seen when she was with Lu Huaiyu.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He could not put his finger on what the difference was, but something was definitely different.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He then finished half a bottle of beer in one go.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The flashy lights shone across Ning Li’s face. She leaned back with her glass of lemonade and relaxed with a lazy smile.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gu Siyang accidentally caught a glimpse of her and a thought came into his mind.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>‘Hmm? Ning Li looks a little familiar… she’s like…like…’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Buzz!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His phone on the table suddenly buzzed and the caller ID gave him a moment of epiphany.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lu Huaiyu!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ning Li resembled Lu Huaiyu when she was laid-back and relaxed! The similarities were uncanny!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He grabbed his phone, put his finger to his lips, and hushed the others.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Quiet! Quiet! I have a call coming!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ji Shu and the others quieted down.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>One of the boys teased, “At your age, do you still have someone checking up on you?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Shoo!” Gu Siyang gave a look of disgust.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“It’s a call from my God of Prosperity! Shut up and everything will be on me tonight!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There were only a few people that Gu Siyang called the God of Prosperity.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ji Shu and his friends exchanged a quick look before zipping up their mouths.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ning Li took a sip of lemonade.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gu Siyang answered the phone and said eagerly, “Second Master Lu!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ning Li almost choked on her lemonade.\u003C\u002Fp>",1285,"2026-05-30T09:09:42.756Z","2026-06-01T04:30:51.172Z",1,"novelbin.me","5c3cabae2f1c3b25312a4eefc41e66aa9f9afa8c6be8bec81361cdfb6a8dbffd","the-little-brat-s-sweet-and-sassy-chapter-163","the-little-brat-s-sweet-and-sassy-chapter-161",1251,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fthe-little-brat-s-sweet-and-sassy-cover.jpg"]
