My Hubby Can't Stop Pampering Me

Chapter 793: Chapter 795: Engagement Banquet (5)

Unexpectedly, Lu Weixi treated the subway like it was a pedestrian crosswalk—she simply crossed it, without descending into the subway, but went back onto the street.

Alright, he had no choice but to follow.

They walked until ten at night. The Lu Weixi in front of him was getting more and more exhausted, to the point where she could barely walk. Even Qin Zhiyou thought it should be enough by now, right?

However, while she did stop, she didn’t hail a cab to go home. Instead— she went to a bar nearby.

Yes, there was a large bar district in the east of the city. The night life started only after ten.

Was she planning to drown her sorrows with alcohol? Maybe that was a good idea. After getting drunk, she would probably forget everything and wake up to a new day.

The nightclub Lu Weixi had entered was a renowned one in Yan City. The noise inside was deafening. Although it was not a weekend, there were many young people who had come to party. Ladies generally didn’t need to pay an entrance fee, but Qin Zhiyou was stopped at the entrance. He was a frequent patron of this club, but because he hadn’t signaled that he was coming in advance, they wanted him to pay.

Money wasn’t the issue. Without even looking, he gave the waiter a handful of money and rushed in. But inside, the venue was so crowded that it was nearly impossible to find Lu Weixi.

Qin Zhiyou was almost frantic because he knew that in these nightclubs, there were many irresponsible men who would take advantage of young, single, unsuspecting women. If they managed to get them drunk or even drug them, then carry them away, it would spell disaster.

He scoured the whole place, even jumping onto the stage to get a better view. The DJ even played an additional song for him. Eventually, he found Lu Weixi in a familiar corner.

When Lu Weixi felt adventurous in the past, she used to invite Qin Zhigu and Cai Yiren to party in a nightclub. She never liked dancing in the big dance hall and even found the music too loud. Sometimes she even exaggeratedly ordered a glass of orange juice and a plate of spicy duck neck and pickled chicken feet, hid in a corner with Cai Yiren and Qin Zhigu, and chewed away.

This booth was also theirs from early on. As soon as the waitstaff saw her, they brought her right here. Lu Weixi didn’t care and just ordered two bottles of liquor—Royal Salute whiskey and Louis XIII brandy, drinking and pouring for herself.

Her drinking pace was neither fast nor slow. She’d pour herself a glass, drink it slowly, then pour another. Not crying or fussing, except for being a tad more sober, she didn’t seem off at all.

As she sat there drinking alone, it was fine when there were a few people with her. Even if someone tried to hit on her, they’d be somewhat daunted. But now that she was alone, her fine figure and face were noticeable even under the dim lights. Soon, a group of men who were on the prowl surrounded her.

“Miss, drinking alone? Want to join us?”

Watching, Qin Zhiyou was extremely anxious, especially when one of the men reached out his pilfering hand, seemingly trying to touch her shoulder.

Yet Lu Weixi didn’t even glance at him, only shifting a little to the side, pouring herself another glass of wine and sipping it slowly.

The man was also holding a wine glass, but as soon as his eyes spotted the Louis XIII on her table…a bottle like that would sell for forty grand in a nightclub like this.
