"Spit it out!" Lin Xiao said bluntly.

He had no time to beat around the bush with this moron.

"Divorce Qing Ning, and I'll spare your miserable life!"

Lin Xiao let out an exasperated laugh at the moron's words. "Qin Shaojun, where on earth do you get the confidence to say something so idiotic?"

"You filthy beggar, do you think I'm joking with you?" Qin Shaojun demanded sinisterly.

As he spoke, he suddenly picked up the ashtray from the coffee table. It was an exquisitely crafted piece made of pure copper. Lin Xiao actually thought this piece of trash was about to attack him.

But who would have thought?

Qin Shaojun simply held the ashtray in his hand. It wasn't large, and he could easily cover it with one hand. With a light squeeze, he opened his palm to reveal that the uniquely shaped ashtray had been crushed into a ball.

Lin Xiao was speechless. So after all that, he was just trying to scare him.

Admittedly, this trick would be shocking to an ordinary person. But Lin Xiao was no ordinary person. He simply thought the guy was insane. If he really had a problem with him, they should just have a proper fight. Wouldn't it be better to let their fists do the talking? Instead, he put on this moronic show.

Just as Lin Xiao was about to speak, Qin Shaojun said coldly, "You filthy beggar, did you see that? If you don't divorce Qing Ning, I guarantee your fate will be a hundred times worse than this ashtray's!"

Lin Xiao rolled his eyes, looking at this piece of trash as if he were an idiot. "Qin Shaojun, how about this? Let's find a time tomorrow and just have a fight."

At these words, Qin Shaojun's heart surged with ecstasy. He had been racking his brain for a way to deal with this filthy beggar and never expected him to serve himself up on a platter.

"Are you sure, you filthy beggar?" His voice trembled slightly with excitement.

"What, are you scared?" Lin Xiao provoked him deliberately.

"Damn it, you filthy beggar, listen up! The word 'scared' isn't in my dictionary!" Qin Shaojun retorted angrily. "Tomorrow afternoon, at the same lake as tonight. Come alone, if you dare!"

"Don't worry, I'll be there. And I won't tell Qing Ning, either."

Seeing Lin Xiao agree, Qin Shaojun grew even more thrilled. The thought of finally killing this filthy beggar tomorrow afternoon filled him with such excitement that he grabbed the bottle of foreign liquor and began chugging it furiously.

By the time Su Qingning returned with a bottle of Moutai, Qin Shaojun had already polished off half of it. This piece of trash clearly couldn't hold his liquor. After half a bottle, his face was beet red and the veins on his neck were bulging.

"Shaojun, you're drinking too fast! This foreign liquor might go down smooth, but it has a real kick," Su Qingning advised.

Hearing her words, Qin Shaojun's heart leaped with joy. Qing Ning still cares about me! I'm still in her heart!

The thought of killing that filthy beggar tomorrow, after which he and Su Qingning could finally be together, made him want to finish the other half of the bottle in one go.

Lin Xiao stared, dumbfounded, at the Moutai in Su Qingning's hand. "I'm telling you, Su Qingning, you're such a spendthrift. Aren't there any cheaper baijius? Why buy something so high-end?"

"Lin Xiao, shut your mouth!" Qin Shaojun interjected, his face clouded with displeasure. "Qing Ning is being generous enough to offer you Moutai. It's one thing not to be grateful, but how dare you call her a spendthrift?"

Perhaps it was the alcohol, or perhaps Su Qingning's earlier words had given him the wrong idea, but he had grown bold.

Su Qingning frowned slightly. Honestly, when Lin Xiao had called her a spendthrift, she hadn't been upset. She knew he meant well. After all, she was still vying to be the heir of the Su Corporation, and every penny was crucial. Qin Shaojun's words, however, repulsed her. She knew he was trying to defend her and that his intentions were good, but she still found it disagreeable. She felt that he was meddling.

After speaking, Qin Shaojun looked at Su Qingning expectantly, hoping she would give the filthy beggar a proper scolding. He was certain she would. After all, the man was just a beggar, living off her money for food, drink, and everything else. The mere thought of Su Qingning tearing into the beggar brought a smug smile to his lips.

But Su Qingning ignored him. She said lightly, "I can't very well serve an outsider foreign liquor worth thousands a bottle and then give my own husband cheap Erguotou that costs barely fifteen yuan, can I?"

BOOM!

The smile on Qin Shaojun's face froze. An outsider? In Su Qingning's heart, he was an outsider? But that wasn't the main point. The point was how incredibly well she was treating this filthy beggar.

Qin Shaojun was so angry he could have coughed up blood. He desperately wanted to ask Su Qingning when she had gone blind, but he couldn't bring himself to say it. Frustrated, he grabbed the bottle and, GLUG, GLUG, GLUG, furiously chugged the remaining half.

"Don't be so wasteful next time," Lin Xiao said, feigning displeasure.

Su Qingning playfully stuck out her tongue. "I know!" she replied coquettishly.

After a few more drinks, Qin Shaojun's face was as red as a baboon's behind. Not only that, but he felt the ground beneath his feet begin to spin wildly. It was a sign he was getting drunk. He hurriedly began to circulate his qi. The Profound Energy in his Dantian coursed madly through his body. A moment later, his forehead was beaded with sweat.

Lin Xiao knew the guy was using Profound Energy to force the alcohol out of his bloodstream. Not a dumb move. But Lin Xiao had no desire to watch his clumsy performance any longer. "Honey, I'm a bit tired. Let's go home."

Su Qingning nodded. To be honest, she was also feeling tired.

It was very late by the time they returned to the villa. Shao Mei'er's car was parked at the entrance; it looked like she had arrived a while ago. Lin Xiao and Su Qingning entered the villa together and, with a silent understanding, went upstairs.

Once in the room, Su Qingning threw herself onto the bed, completely exhausted. Lin Xiao, however, wasn't idle. He started tidying up his sleeping mat on the floor.

Su Qingning watched him curiously. "You scoundrel, why are you packing that up? Are you not sleeping tonight?"

Lin Xiao smiled. "Of course I'm sleeping. Didn't you promise to let me sleep on the bed?"

BOOM!

Only then did Su Qingning remember their bet. Her fair face instantly flushed crimson. She was as gorgeous and tempting as a rose in full bloom, a sight that could make any man's heart race. A moment ago, she had been exhausted, but now she sat bolt upright.

"You scoundrel, can you… can you please not sleep on the bed?" Su Qingning stammered.

Lin Xiao just smiled. "What do you think?"

"But… but I'm not ready!"

"That's okay. I'm ready."

"But… but… but I don't want to sleep in the same bed with you."

"But I do!"

Seeing that Lin Xiao had already placed his pillow on the bed and was starting to climb on, Su Qingning panicked. She was utterly frantic.

"You scoundrel, you… you… just give me three days, okay? Let me get used to the idea!" she begged pitifully.

"And what if you still go back on your word after three days?"

"You… you name it! I'll do whatever you say!"

Lin Xiao's gaze swept over her pert bottom. He smirked and said, "Alright, how about this? If you still break your promise in three days, I'll spank your bottom, and I'll spank it hard!"

Su Qingning glared at him, a mixture of shame and anger in her eyes. Her first instinct was to refuse, but on second thought, she was the one breaking her promise first. She couldn't blame Lin Xiao. If she kept arguing, she might genuinely infuriate him. And what if that made him insist on sleeping in the bed tonight?

At that thought, Su Qingning shot him a resentful look. She said nothing more.

Her silence was consent.

Lin Xiao's grin widened. He was about to speak when a shrill scream suddenly pierced the air from downstairs.
