Chapter 705

Li Yang accepted it with a smile, seemingly unconcerned.

When Li Yang turned around to look for her again, Ice Cream Lips had vanished without a trace. She was probably frightened by what Glasses Girl had just experienced and fled in panic. She didn't dare to tease Li Yang again, for fear of ending up like Glasses Girl and being mortified.

But the haughty peacock woman didn't leave. Instead, she stared defiantly at Li Yang, sipping her red wine, neither attacking nor backing down. She straightened her back, her not-so-large breasts standing erect, seemingly wanting to rest on the bar but not quite big enough. Sun Weirui, on the other hand, leaned comfortably against the bar, unintentionally revealing a pair of enormous white breasts resting on it, trembling precariously—it was enough to kill a man!

However, at this moment, two lecherous men took the opportunity to approach. One went straight for Fang Kexin, and the other went straight for Sun Weirui. Judging from their mannerisms, they were acquaintances. It is estimated that the two had different tastes and discussed their moves before making their moves. One was graceful and agile, while the other went straight for the pure and innocent.

Li Yang's eyes involuntarily turned cold, but he didn't make a move. He swirled the potent vodka in his glass, a mocking smile playing on his lips.

"What? You think they can't handle those two women?" The haughty peacock woman finally spoke, her voice indeed carrying a cold arrogance, but her tone was still quite pleasant.

The peacock girl was some distance away from Li Yang and the bespectacled woman, and when Li Yang told the bespectacled woman about his woman, he spoke close to her ear, so the peacock girl didn't hear him.

"That's right. If I could handle those two idiots, I could bite my own nose!" Li Yang said with extreme disdain.

Can the same person bite their own nose? Obviously not! So, can the two of them handle Sun Weirui and Fang Kexin? Obviously not!

"A bet?" The peacock woman raised an eyebrow and said.

"Let's make a bet! What are we betting on?" Li Yang laughed; he absolutely wouldn't back down from this bet. Anything was acceptable.

"I'll bet on whether those two can handle those two. I bet they can!" the peacock woman declared confidently. She believed that none of the men and women who came to the bar were good people, including herself; they were all there to indulge themselves, not to pretend to be innocent and then go home and pretend to be virtuous!

Besides, any man who dares to approach a woman and pick her up is at least somewhat confident and has a good appearance, which these two idiots happen to possess.

She has that confidence.

“Since you’ve bet they can handle it, then I can only bet they can’t! But what’s the stake?” Li Yang leered at the peacock woman’s shapely buttocks, which appeared even more perky and rounded as she sat on the high stool.

"If I win, you'll come with me tonight, and I'll ride you as I please!" the peacock woman said proudly.

"Holy crap! If I win, you have to play the flute for me in public!" Li Yang also lost his temper. Did they think he couldn't take a beating?

Chapter 709: Indecent assault

The peacock woman immediately laughed, a mocking laugh. Her lips curled up, revealing no teeth, and her eyes held a hint of sarcasm. Her slender, jade-like fingers traced the rim of her wine glass as she calmly said, "OK!"

"Okay." Li Yang raised his glass and clinked it with hers, saying, "Cheers!"

Without flinching, the peacock woman downed her glass of red wine in one gulp. It was quite a lot of wine, and although it was low in alcohol, a faint pink hue still settled on her slightly pale cheeks, adding a touch of vibrancy and softening her overly arrogant demeanor. She looked much gentler and more attractive.

The two handsome men, who considered themselves charming and attractive, sat down next to Sun Weirui and Fang Kexin with smiles, looking extremely dashing.

"Beautiful lady, can I have a drink?" A handsome man with dimples sat down next to Sun Weirui and asked with a gentle smile.

In his view, Sun Weirui has a rather individualistic and outspoken temperament, and what he needs is gentleness and moderation. Deep down, she is actually soft-hearted and kind, and can only be moved by gentleness and kindness.

Sun Weirui narrowed her beautiful eyes, glanced at Li Yang, and suddenly a thought struck her. "You, Li Yang, you dare to mess around with other women in front of me, as if I don't exist? Well then, I'll flirt with other men too, and make you furious!"

“Okay, no problem!” Sun Weirui gave a charming smile, snapped her fingers, and signaled the waiter to pour her a glass.

The dimpled man smiled smugly to himself, but maintained a gentle and peaceful smile on his face. He picked up his wine glass, clinked it against Sun Weirui's, and took a small sip.

Meanwhile, the handsome man with a slightly weathered look sat next to Fang Kexin. Fang Kexin's youthful and innocent expression perfectly captured the essence of a young girl in love. She was attracted to men who seemed weathered and had a story to tell, and she was full of hope for the future, yearning for maturity. He considered himself quite adept at feigning a weathered look; although he might not win Best Actor, he could at least be nominated.

"Once, a sincere love was placed before me, but I didn't cherish it. Only when I lost it did I realize my regret. Nothing in this world is more painful than this. Cut my throat with your sword! Don't hesitate any longer! If God could give me another chance, I would say three words to that girl: I love you. If I had to put a time limit on this love, I hope it would be... ten thousand years..."

The weathered man's slightly hoarse voice, tinged with a sense of vicissitude, recited Stephen Chow's classic line with great emotion, and it truly had a powerful effect. Many girls these days are obsessed with *A Chinese Odyssey*, and they can practically recite this line by heart. Fang Kexin, a devoted fangirl, naturally yearned for such love and was very familiar with the line. Suddenly hearing a handsome man with a slightly melancholic gaze reciting such lines beside her, Fang Kexin's heart skipped a beat. She looked at the weathered man with innocent eyes and asked, "Have you broken up with your boyfriend?"

"Yes, she fell in love with the guy who drives a BMW. She'd rather cry in a BMW than laugh in my arms, but I still can't forget her. Don't you think I'm pathetic?" The weathered man looked at Fang Kexin with great hesitation, his expression sincere and bitter, perfectly portraying the expression of heartbreak.

"You, you're not cheap. This shows that you're loyal to love, that you're devoted... It's just that the girl was blind, it's not your fault!" Fang Kexin kindly comforted the weathered man.

"Thank you, you're such a good girl. Let me buy you a drink." The weathered man secretly thought to himself that he had succeeded. The girl had taken the bait. As long as she wasn't rejected on the first meeting, he was 180% confident that he could win her over and then go to a hotel to have sex with her.

Fang Kexin wanted to refuse because she rarely drank alcohol and almost always got drunk after just a sip. However, the weathered man's aggressive nature immediately surfaced. Before she could even refuse, he beckoned to the waiter to pour her a glass of scarlet red wine and handed it to her, saying, "If you don't like it, you can mix it with some Sprite. What do you think?"

"I... I rarely drink, and I don't know anything about these things. I... I'd better not drink!" Fang Kexin became a little nervous. Although she had never experienced anything like this before, she was naive, but she wasn't stupid. She had already sensed that something was wrong and began to retreat uneasily.

"It's nothing, just a little red wine. You're a good girl, I wonder if you'd like to hear my story with her?" The weathered man looked at Fang Kexin with melancholy and pleading eyes, like a little white rabbit or lapdog that had lost its master.

"I, I... okay!" Fang Kexin became nervous, turning to look at Li Yang and Sun Weirui, only to find them both busy. Su Weirui was drinking and chatting with a handsome man, while Li Yang was exchanging glances and flirting with a beautiful woman. Fang Kexin was even more at a loss, becoming slightly flustered.

"We met in the ivory tower. We were young and innocent back then, full of fantasies and looking forward to a bright future. We met at a dance..." The weathered man recounted the script, which he had told countless times and knew by heart, with a melancholy look in his eyes, while secretly observing Fang Kexin's reaction.

Seeing her listening intently, her face filled with longing and anticipation, he felt even more smug. He thought to himself, "Little girl, tonight I'll give you a real eye-opening experience, let you see what it's like to be electrified..."

As he spoke, his hand unconsciously landed on Fang Kexin's delicate little hand and began to caress it subconsciously.

"Ah—you scoundrel!" Fang Kexin exclaimed in shock. She pulled her hand back and slapped the weathered man across the face. The faint imprint of her five fingers was barely visible in the dim light of the bar, but it stung painfully. The slap made the weathered man furious, feeling utterly humiliated and ashamed.

"Damn it, you little slut, you dare to hit me? Tonight I'll give you a good beating..." The weathered man suddenly revealed his ferocious nature, his face contorted as he lunged at the panicked Fang Kexin.

She wanted to force herself on him!

"Die!" A sharp shout rang out, and a kick came flying like lightning, carrying a powerful force. It landed squarely on the grotesque man's thigh, making a crisp cracking sound. Accompanied by the grotesque man's howling screams, he fell to the ground, tears and snot streaming down his face from the pain.

"Holy crap!" The dimpled handsome guy was furious when he saw his companion being beaten. He grabbed a stool and slammed it hard into Sun Weirui's back, showing no mercy and instead displaying a ferocious look.

People nearby gasped and scrambled to clear the area. After the initial shock, they were all excited to watch the spectacle, clapping and cheering, eager to see what would happen.

The dimpled man's bench strike seemed certain to hit, but Sun Weirui swayed her waist, her body swayed, she took a side step, bent over, and easily dodged the bench. Suddenly, she straightened her waist, twisted her feet, and turned her body abruptly. The dimpled man was already only a foot away from Sun Weirui when he attacked. The Wing Chun's inch-power burst forth, exerting force within an inch with a thunderous sound. The dimpled man's chest caved in, accompanied by the crisp sound of breaking ribs. He withdrew his fist and retreated, clean and swift, without any hesitation.

Chapter 710: A Lump Formed

The dimpled man coughed up a mouthful of blood, the stool fell to the ground, and he slumped down, groaning in pain, following in his companion's footsteps.

"Sister Weirui, they are so mean!" Fang Kexin rushed over and hugged Sun Weirui's arm.
