Chapter 154: Drunken Nana (1)

Serena gulped down her peg while Nana was still hesitant.

“Drink it already!”

She took a sip and coughed hard while somehow swallowing it.

“This is so bitter!”, she strongly furrowed her brows. She felt like she gulped some doctor’s bitter medicine.

“Of course, it is. It is not a sweet dish. That is how you enjoy alcohol, stupid. Come on, drink up the rest.”

Thirty minutes later.

Not soon after the third peg, Nana got tipsy while Serena was at her fifth.

They were giggling like school girls.

Nana said, “Really?”

Serena nodded, “Yup. I live with a very handsome man now. But tch, he said I can’t flirt with him. How *hiccup* can I do that?”

Nana burst into laughter, “He must have d-definitely realized your ssshhh”, she looked left and right and whispered like a huge secret, “your hidden motive in taking him in. Hmm…He is clever.”

She nodded furiously, “I should have controlled my tongue. Dang, I got too excited!”

“Hahaha.”

Serena was struck with an idea, “Hey, hey! Let us do some prank calls! It will be so much fuuuunnnn~~~~”

Nana also nodded excitedly.

She took out her phone and dialed the last number. It was picked up on the second ring, “Nee-chan?,” it was Yukito who answered.

“Shut up.”, Serena said, “We are from *hic* the secret forces! You are under arrest.”

Nana laughed.

Yukito – “…”

“You are arrested on the grounds of constantly bullying your sister’s best friend. She is such a nice and g-good girl. How can you treat her like that? Hands up!”

“It is not a prank if you call from Nee-chan’s phone, idiot Serena”, he said dryly.

“Shut up! Another charge added. Always going against the beautiful and charismatic Serena. Your punishment is…..life imprisonment!”

Yukito’s mouth twitched.

“We will soon send a team to arrest you. Be ready!”, and she hung up.

“Hey-“

Nana and Serena laughed loudly. “That was fun. Your brother must be sooo scared.”

Nana cheerfully said, “He didn’t even realize that it was us!”

They giggled again.

“Okay, next next!”

Nana browsed through her contact list. In her woozy state, she couldn’t clearly make out the number and hit the dial button.

Liu Corps.

Jinhai was in a meeting with some senior managers. The atmosphere was too gloomy. They messed up the data of the presentation, and now Jinhai was silently staring at him.

His silence was stifling. The managers broke out in a cold sweat awaiting his judgment.

Just then, his phone buzzed.

They freaked out even more. Disturbing the boss in the middle of the meeting, is that person nuts? Now he’ll be even angrier, and we are done for!

Jinhai glanced at his phone and saw the number.

“Sir…”

He raised his hand, indicating to stop.

The manager immediately shut up.

Then they noticed the heavy pressure ease up. His icy aura melted like it’s the beginning of spring. They could even see imaginary flowers blooming around Jinhai.

They were looking dumbfounded.

Who is that person that got their boss in such a good mood?

Jinhai picked it up and softly said, “Nana.”

Everyone thought that they were dreaming. Such a gentle and warm tone by our cold boss!?

From the other end, Serena said, “If you *hic* want Nana safe and sound, fork out all the money you have. Otherwise…” She laughed.

Jinhai narrowed his eyes.

“Who are you?”, he asked very grimly.

The others once again noticed the difference in temperature.

Ayeee? Wasn’t it spring just now? How did it suddenly change to winter?

Serena was drunk until now, but his low, emotionless voice managed to give her the goosebumps. She felt a chill run through her spine. She sobered a little.

“Hehe. N-nothing. It’s a joke.”

“Who are you? Where is Nana? How is her phone with you?”

She gulped. Just whose number has Nana dialed!?

Jinhai heard Nana giggling, along with very loud music.

“Give the phone to her.”, he said, his voice being deadly calm.

With speed faster than even the light, she handed the phone to Nana.

“Some scary person is asking for you. Go, you talk to him. I don’t want to play this prank anymore!”

Nana frowned. “Huuuuhhhh??”

She took the phone, “Who are you? How dare you *hic* scare my precious Serena? You will be punished for your sin!”

Hearing Nana’s familiar voice, Jinhai’s eyes were filled with tender and warmth once again.

Is it spring again? Aren’t the seasons changing too fast?

“You are drunk. Where are you?”

Nana’s whole demeanor brightened, “Liu Jinhaiiiiiiiii!!! It is you! Hehehe…”

“Tell me, which bar is it?” he gently tried to coax her like a little child.

“Why? Do you want to join in, too?” she giggled, “You should. We are having so much fun! We are playing prank calls.”

“En. I also want to join in.”

“Good, good. This bar is….on the left side of the road a-and it is very shining brightly.”, she proudly said as if she gave the perfect directions.

He smiled. “Don’t go anywhere. I’m coming.”

“Hm-hm. Come quickly.”

Jinhai got up, and all the managers straightened up.

“Meeting adjourned.”

Huh? Are we saved?

“Do you all need me to escort you out personally?”

They snapped out and quickly scurried away.

“Xin. Find out which bar is it where Nana is now.”

“Yes, sir.”

—

Ten minutes passed by, and Nana and Serena were still goofing around when a man approached near Nana.

“Hey, aren’t you a beauty! Come, let us dance. We’ll have lots of fun.”, he said while slightly licking his lips.

Nana frowned. “Nooo…I don’t want to.”

Serena said, “Shoo! Don’t bother us. Get lost.”

“Come on, babe, don’t play hard to get.”

He inched closer and tried to hold Nana’s hand when somebody suddenly grabbed his wrist.
