Waiting for Qi Sheng and Tan Hua was no big deal.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If it weren’t for Tan Hua’s sake...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>...Qi Sheng probably wouldn’t have even bothered attending a dinner at this level.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Huahua, you live so close and you’re still this late. Don’t tell me you and Qi Sheng were going at it until just now?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing Qi Sheng yawning nonstop while Tan Hua, in contrast, was practically glowing, Xu Ying couldn’t help but tease the couple.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"AHEM... Have you guys ordered yet? It’s my treat today, as an apology for being late.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qi Sheng quickly changed the subject.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He was the only guy in a room full of women.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Discussing such a topic was bound to be a little awkward.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Wow, long live Eldest Young Master Qi!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xu Ying and the others all started cheering for Qi Sheng.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Who wouldn’t be happy about getting a free feast?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You’re too generous, Mr. Qi.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Miduo felt a bit resigned, but she knew these girls tended to live paycheck to paycheck.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If they split this meal, it would probably cost around 300 yuan per person.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>To save 300 yuan, the short wait was more than worth it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There was a QR code on the table, so they could order whatever dishes they wanted themselves.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qi Sheng noticed the women were still being a little reserved.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They were only ordering dishes that cost a few dozen yuan, not a single one priced over a hundred.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’Fine, I’ll have to do it.’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qi Sheng went ahead and selected all the restaurant’s signature dishes: steam-pot chicken, tilapia, Dai-style hand-eaten rice, and more.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A final glance showed a total of eighteen dishes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was definitely more than ten people could possibly eat.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Does anyone want to drink?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qi Sheng asked casually as he flipped through the menu.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"We could have a little. Do they have red wine?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xu Ying could tell her other colleagues were tempted but too shy to say anything, so she decided to speak up for them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The red wines are all pretty mediocre. They do have whisky, though—Macallan 12. If you’re all up for it, we could get a bottle and try it.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qi Sheng glanced at the red wines priced in the three-to-four-hundred-yuan range and couldn’t muster any interest.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Let me see... 2,280 for one bottle?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xu Ying glanced at the menu and was instantly stunned. \"Whisky is that expensive?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It’s only about 800 yuan online. The restaurant has marked it up almost three times.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Miduo occasionally enjoyed a small glass of whisky at home with her husband.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So she knew the price of this Macallan 12 like the back of her hand.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Don’t worry about the price. If you want to try it, let’s just get it.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qi Sheng had never actually tried such an expensive whisky himself, so he went ahead and ordered it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He glanced at the total. The meal was now 4,500 yuan.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was mainly the expensive whisky that had driven up the price.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A server brought over an ice bucket.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After the box was opened, the bottle of whisky, worth over 2,000 yuan, was taken out.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A glass was poured for everyone, and ice cubes were added.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A layer of icy condensation immediately formed on the glasses.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I’m finally getting a little taste of what it’s like to be rich! Thank you, Eldest Young Master Qi!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xu Ying, who was always the best at livening things up, was the first to raise her glass in a toast to Qi Sheng.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Don’t mention it. We’re all friends. All that matters is that you have a good time.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qi Sheng also took a sip. The ice-cold liquor slid down his throat.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It had notes of sweet preserved fruits and caramel, with a woody, fruity aroma.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The finish had hints of toffee and chocolate.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’Worth every penny.’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qi Sheng saw that Tan Hua had only taken a tiny sip, and he smiled, signaling to her that a token taste was more than enough.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He would drink whatever she couldn’t handle.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Tan Hua was reminded of the first time she had started to develop feelings for Qi Sheng.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It had also been a time when he drank on her behalf. She couldn’t help but give him a sweet smile.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Huahua, are you just going to stare at it? We’ve all taken a big gulp, but your glass is still completely full.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xu Ying actually didn’t know about Tan Hua’s alcohol tolerance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>On the few occasions they had gone out for dinner with colleagues, Tan Hua had never touched a drop of alcohol.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She had just assumed Tan Hua was worried about the dangers of drinking too much.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But now that she had her boyfriend with her, surely she could drink to her heart’s content?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Forget it. She really can’t drink. I’ll drink her share.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing Qi Sheng come to Tan Hua’s rescue, Xu Ying figured she must really be a lightweight.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Oh, sorry! I didn’t know Huahua couldn’t drink. Well, then you can drink her share for her.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xu Ying called a server over and ordered a glass of juice for Tan Hua.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then, she pushed Tan Hua’s glass of whisky in front of Qi Sheng.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"No problem.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qi Sheng stopped the server. \"Another bottle of this, please. Keep it chilled in the ice bucket.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Right away.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The server quickly returned with another bottle and placed it in the ice bucket to chill.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A layer of condensation also formed on this bottle, cooling the liquor inside.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Whoa, Qi Sheng, you’re incredible! These two bottles alone cost nearly five thousand yuan! With the food, the total is almost ten thousand!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xu Ying had originally planned to drink sparingly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A 2,280-yuan bottle of whisky couldn’t be compared to the cheap stuff she usually drank at bars.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But she hadn’t expected Qi Sheng to be so loaded; he’d just ordered another one without a second thought.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"As long as you’re not afraid of getting drunk, ordering a few more bottles is no problem at all.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When he was out with friends, Qi Sheng never worried about spending money.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Popping a bottle of Ace of Spades at a nightclub cost nearly ten thousand yuan on its own.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Drinking whisky and eating Yunnan cuisine, the women were all having a great time.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As the only man in the room, he was naturally the target of the women’s \"attacks.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Two bottles of whisky were nowhere near enough for this group of women with surprisingly high tolerances.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qi Sheng had to order a third bottle before the alcohol finally started to hit the women, making them dizzy and ending the \"vicious battle.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Alright, let’s call it a night. It’s dangerous for you all to go home if you’ve had too much to drink. Pair up with a buddy, and text your manager when you get home safely.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After sending the women on their way, Qi Sheng finally let out a long, alcohol-laced breath.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He wrapped his arm around his girlfriend’s soft body, strolling with her under the dim yellow streetlights.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I told you not to drink so much with them. Now you’re feeling it, aren’t you?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Tan Hua thought about how Xu Ying and the others had taken turns toasting Qi Sheng as he drank on her behalf, and she felt a pang of both heartache and sweetness.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What woman wouldn’t be intoxicated by the feeling of being cherished and pampered by the man she loved?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Especially when that man was tall, rich, and handsome.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I’m fine, just a little dizzy. That whisky has quite a kick.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qi Sheng rubbed his temples as he looked at Tan Hua’s worried expression.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fueled by liquid courage, he recklessly pulled her in for a kiss right there on the street.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Ah—\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Tan Hua had no time to react at all.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her eyes flew open as Qi Sheng held her tight, making it impossible for her to break free.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The sharp scent of alcohol on his breath made her, already a lightweight, feel dizzy, and her body couldn’t help but go limp.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thankfully, Qi Sheng was holding her securely, saving her from making a scene.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Haaa...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After a few moments of breathless panting, Tan Hua’s wandering consciousness finally came back online.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You’re the worst! So many people are watching!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing several passersby looking their way, Tan Hua couldn’t help but shyly bury her face in Qi Sheng’s chest.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"So what if they look? My girlfriend is this beautiful, you can’t blame me for wanting to show her off, can you?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qi Sheng said nonchalantly, pulling Tan Hua’s delicate body snugly into his arms.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Alright, alright, you’re the biggest show-off. Come on, be good. Let’s go home, okay?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Tan Hua was helpless against her drunk boyfriend, so she could only coax him gently as if he were a small child.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Mmm, home.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qi Sheng was indeed a little drunk, but his mind was perfectly clear.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After a few drinks, it was only natural to want to... discuss the meaning of life with his girlfriend.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>「Back at the apartment in National Gold Mansion.」\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Before Tan Hua could even take off her high heels...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>...Qi Sheng swept her up by the waist and strode toward the bed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What are you doing? I haven’t even taken my shoes off.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Tan Hua quickly wrapped her arms around Qi Sheng’s neck, tilting her head back to shoot him a playful glare.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It’s fine. They’ll just add to your attack speed.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qi Sheng let out a mischievous laugh. And just like that, he mentally equipped Tan Hua with a pair of black silk stockings.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The weather was getting cold, after all. As a caring boyfriend...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>...how could he not take good care of his girlfriend’s long, beautiful legs?\u003C\u002Fp>",1803,"2026-06-03T03:29:35.555Z","2026-06-03T03:29:39.083Z",1,"novelbin.me","472adb93984e6adb3cfb217493a2c6415835820d5900ca9c9694676190fe7467","tycoon-i-have-an-unlimited-modifier-chapter-60","tycoon-i-have-an-unlimited-modifier-chapter-40",116,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Ftycoon-i-have-an-unlimited-modifier-cover.jpg"]
