Flash Marriage: He is a Wife-pampering Addict

Chapter 2624 - 428: Chu the Fool with More Money than Sense

Chu Junming’s deep eyes reflected Bai Qingling’s delicate features, and they moved slightly.

Her breath was close to his ear, warm, and near enough that she feared someone else might hear. Bai Qingling’s voice was so soft and tender that it tugged gently at one’s heart.

He tilted his handsome face slightly to gaze at her beautiful features, a smile unknowingly curving at his lips.

The voice from his thin lips was warm and magnetic, "Are there any conditions?"

"It’s not really a condition for you."

A cunning glint flashed in Bai Qingling’s beautiful watery eyes, and her eyebrows arched.

She looked like a sly little fox.

Chu Junming’s mood was quite good, "Well, tell me the condition then?"

Bai Qingling saw he was intrigued and blinked, extending a finger.

"A hundred bucks a drink?"

Once Chu Junming spoke, he was met with Bai Qingling’s disdainful gaze.

"One billion."

Bai Qingling’s smile lost its authenticity, turning into a rather obvious fake smile.

Chu Junming laughed softly.

He just found her angry appearance quite interesting.

He often couldn’t resist making her angry to watch her fierce reaction.

"A bit pricey."

Chu Junming frowned, appearing very hesitant.

"Then fifty million, I’ll give you a fifty percent discount."

Bai Qingling feared Chu Junming might still refuse and added, "This is my first time drinking for someone else. If not for Sister Momo’s health issues and Ye Zhan being the groom today, I wouldn’t want to drink for you."

"First time?"

Chu Junming was skilled at catching the main point.

Over there, Ye Zhan and Momo were already chatting at the next table with the guests for quite some time.

Seeing Chu Junming and Bai Qingling still whispering over there, Momo used her gaze to ask Ye Zhan about the situation with those two.

Ye Zhan shook his head, clueless.

"If you’re not willing, forget it."

Qingling saw Ye Zhan and Momo looking at them while Chu Junming seemed unwilling, so she didn’t press anymore.

She stepped away.

"I’m willing."

Just as she took one step away, she heard Chu Junming’s deep, low voice behind her.

Startled for a second.

Bai Qingling turned back to look.

Chu Junming said lightly, "Deal."

She lowered her gaze, thinking she might have misheard.

However, fifty million per drink was quite a deal.

She only needed to drink two to cover Qinghuan’s future gift.

If she drank a few more cups, then Zinan and Ziyang’s would be covered too.

After calculating in her mind, Qingling decided to earn enough for everyone’s gift money in one go today, which would make her worry-free.

Chu Junming looked wealthy, three billion shouldn’t matter to him.

"What sneaky things were you two whispering about?"

As Qingling and Chu Junming approached, Momo teased them.

Like she could already see the money, Qingling’s smile was bright, "I made a deal with him."

Momo blinked, guessing something under Qingling’s radiant smile.

She glanced at Chu Junming again.

The latter had an elegant demeanor, charmingly refined, matching well with Qingling when standing together.

Soon, Momo and Ye Zhan knew the specifics of Qingling’s deal with Chu Junming: she was drinking on his behalf.

Since Bai Qingling was a girl, she’d help Chu Junming fend off the drinks; the guests wouldn’t trouble her further.

Meanwhile, Ye Zhan and Momo were left to relax.

For the three billion in gift money, Bai Qingling drank with joy.

She felt she’d never earn money so easily in her life.

A few glasses of wine and it’s a few billion.

Looking at the Chu Junming in front of her, he didn’t seem so bad anymore.

A drink per table was the rule Bai Qingling set in her mind, the rest relied entirely on her eloquence, beguiling the guests until they forgot themselves.

At one particularly civil table, Bai Qingling only drank half a glass.

Moving to the next table, she made sure to tell Chu Junming, "That counted as one drink, I managed to drink less with my skills, don’t think of counting it less."

--

Because Tongtong was in the lounge.

When Tang Jinchen and Feng Yize, two men, toasted at the second table, they were met with protests.

Finally, Qinghuan had to come out of the lounge.

"Qinghuan, you just drink water later, I’ll drink the wine for you."

Feng Yize directly handed a glass of water to Qinghuan.

Qinghuan looked down at the water glass before looking up at Feng Yize, "How much can you drink?"

As she spoke, her gaze scanned the room, there were quite a few tables, likely requiring a lot of drinking.

At a nearby table, Qingling was smiling brightly as she said something.

She held a glass of wine in her hand.

From that distance, they couldn’t hear what was being said.

Only seeing Bai Qingling happily taking the wine from Chu Junming and toasting with the whole table of guests.

Qinghuan blinked at Feng Yize and said, "If you can’t handle it later, don’t force yourself. Being drunk will be uncomfortable. I can’t drink as well as Sister Qingling, but I can handle a few glasses, and taking a few tables for you shouldn’t be a problem."

"We’ll discuss it later."

Feng Yize had also noticed Qingling drinking on behalf of Chu Junming.

Still, he didn’t want Qinghuan to drink, for, as she’d mentioned, it’s unpleasant to be drunk.

Qinghuan nodded, saying no more.

Throughout the event, Feng Yize didn’t let Qinghuan touch a single drop of alcohol.

Despite some guests’ reluctance, Feng Yize maneuvered his smooth tongue and self-imposed drinking punishment ensuring Qinghuan only held plain water.

Due to Feng Yize protecting Qinghuan, Tang Yachen, the groom, ended up somewhat tipsy.

After drinking the last glass, Feng Yize’s face was flushed.

His steps were a bit wobbly, yet he still recognized Qinghuan clearly.

He told Qinghuan, "Qinghuan, I’ll head to the restroom first."

After spending over ten minutes in the restroom, Feng Yize emerged, appearing slightly more sober.

At that moment, Qinghuan was supporting Qingling.

Though not drunk, Qingling was feeling a bit dizzy.

She refused Chu Junming’s help and called out to Qinghuan from afar.

Qinghuan had no choice but to help.

Qingling grinned at Qinghuan, gesturing with her fingers, "Qinghuan, you can get married anytime now, I’ve already earned enough gift money."

Qinghuan looked at Qingling in surprise.

Recalling the scene earlier where Qingling voluntarily helped Chu Junming with drinks.

Her heart warmed, and she raised her gaze, seeking confirmation from Chu Junming.

Chu Junming nodded, "Qingling wasn’t lying, she made three billion."

"I’ll take her to the lounge for a break first." Qinghuan explained to Chu Junming before leading Qingling to the lounge.

The lounge was spacious.

Tongtong, Qingqing, and Momo were inside.

Seeing Qinghuan supporting Qingling as they entered, Qingqing quickly came forward to help.

Qingling had had several drinks, her cheeks got rosy, appearing slightly dazed with a hint of allure.

Qingqing frowned deeply, "Sister Momo, why is she drunk?"

Momo innocently explained, "Qingling didn’t do it for me, it was to earn Chu Junming’s three billion."

"..."

Tongtong and Qingqing were momentarily speechless.

Qingling cheerfully gestured three fingers, a bit tipsy but not muddle-headed, "Qingqing, I’m alright, just a little dizzy, resting a while will be fine. Let me tell you, I just made three billion; if you ever need money, go find Chu Junming. Aside from being sharp-tongued and a bit dense but rich, his heart seems quite kind."

[Ahem, just letting everyone know, thanks to the dedicated efforts of my true fans, Ye Zi owes 15 more Chapters. Can’t guarantee they’ll all be added in a day, or two; definitely more like three days. Because writing isn’t just about numbers, quality matters too.

In these past few days, I’ve been cured of my laziness by you all. For those who can’t join the group, I don’t know why either – the place is the new beauty den on QQ (6562-96095), not on WeChat or elsewhere.

As always, true fans are welcome, those who like just browsing should leave it be.

Zinan’s story is already scheduled elsewhere, and once Young Master Mo’s arc is done here, we’ll have the extras of Qingling and Qinghuan. For those eager to join the group but struggling.]
