Chapter 279: Chapter 279

BANG! The bottle successfully avoided the crowd and shattered on the ground.

It was only when the bottle hit the ground that people’s nerves jolted. Immediately, some looked up discontentedly toward the second floor.

"Who’s so classless as to throw bottles down here? Looking for a fight?" A few boldly began to yell, their voices reverberating so loudly they could be heard throughout the night.

The previously pumping music also stopped, making their words even clearer.

But as soon as the words left their mouths, a devilish smile flickered across the lips of the man in the private room. It was as if he had found something amusing, and a provocative thrill surged through him.

Yell? I’ll make you yell, you fuckers!

Qi Longbing grabbed more bottles with both hands and hurled them toward the doorway...

"President Qi, don’t just throw them around!" Yu Bao watched, his heart pounding. Is he on a drunken rampage? he wondered fearfully.

Yu Bao immediately stepped forward to try and block him.

"Get lost! If you dare stand in my way again, I’ll smash you first!" Qi Longbing, his face flushed with drunken anger, roared at Yu Bao.

Yu Bao, a tall man, was stunned by the shout. It’s been over five years,

All for Hua Xiaomo, he’s completely falling apart!

President Qi didn’t even go to the office at all today. No one dared disturb him after his one message, but God knows my phone has been practically blown up by his two secretaries. I had to take the battery out just to stop them from bothering me. Well, if the boss doesn’t care and won’t respond, what can I do? Right now, President Qi probably wouldn’t listen even to the Heavenly King himself, let alone me.

A moment later, Qi Longbing raised champagne bottles in both hands, his eyes bloodshot as he glared viciously at Yu Bao. It was as if Qi Longbing would be tormented to death by his own frustration if he didn’t find an outlet for his rage.

He burst out of the private room and staggered to the corridor, leaning on the railing. Looking down at the bustling crowd of men and women, he let out a strange, intoxicated laugh. His blue eyes flickered with a sinister, almost seductive flame. "If anyone fucking dares to yell again, I’ll make their head bloom!"

"Who... who is this guy?"

"What gives him the right to say that?"

"Hey, he looks like a movie star!"

"No, he’s not a movie star. He looks like..."

Everyone in the Brilliant Starlight bar had their eyes riveted on Qi Longbing.

Hua Xiaomo, hidden in the crowd, looked up at him, a feeling akin to annihilation washing over her as she watched him. Is that him? But why would President Qi come to a place ?

Finally, someone recognized him and couldn’t help but shout, "He’s Qi Longbing, the CEO of Qi Imperial Court!"

"Qi Longbing?! The president of a Fortune 500 company!"

The news immediately caused an uproar. Many people pulled out their phones to take pictures of his drunken state!

Frowning, Yu Bao, who was by Qi Longbing’s side, quickly stepped forward and shouted, "Everyone, please stop taking pictures! Stop taking pictures! We will pursue legal action against anyone who takes photos!"

Yu Bao’s warning scared off the timid, but the bolder ones retorted, "Don’t listen to him! What’s the big deal about taking a few pictures? I guarantee this news—the president getting drunk and causing a scene at a bar—will hit the headlines tomorrow!"

Worried, Yu Bao looked at Qi Longbing and urged, "President Qi, let’s get out of here quickly, okay?"

But the hand Yu Bao had just placed on his arm was fiercely shaken off.

"So you want to make headlines? I’ll adjust your head first!" Qi Longbing sneered. The two bottles in his hands were about to fly towards the man who had just spoken.

Suddenly, a voice couldn’t help but shout, "Qi Longbing, are you crazy?" Content orıginally comes from 𝕟𝕠𝕧𝕖𝕝⟡𝕗𝗂𝗋𝖾⟡𝕟𝕖𝕥

Watching him, Hua Xiaomo felt a sense of exasperation. What is this guy trying to do? Causing a scene in a bar ? I’m speechless. The situation is urgent. If he throws those bottles, someone will definitely get hurt. I have to shout to stop him first, then figure things out.

She looked up at his exceptionally handsome face, now flushed crimson from alcohol, and couldn’t help but frown.

Qi Longbing, who was about to hurl the bottles at the crowd below, paused when he heard that voice, his eyes narrowing slightly.

He scanned the crowd and, among the many faces, spotted a very familiar one.

Hua Xiaomo? It’s really her?

Qi Longbing laughed. The bottles in his hands trembled, and one slipped precariously from his grasp, about to fall.

Just then, countless smartphone flashes went off, aimed in their direction. Yu Bao quickly rushed to support Qi Longbing, turning him so his back was to the cameras to prevent more pictures.

Then Yu Bao quickly helped him back into the private room.

"Xiao Mo..." Qi Longbing murmured her name, his mind, hazy with drink, filled with her image.

So pretty and cute, yet with that mischievous, stubborn streak. Always so unwilling to be controlled by me. When she was with me, she laughed a lot. But her laughter always felt a bit... insincere, a bit fake. But I just couldn’t stop myself from liking her, thinking about her, loving her... until I sank so deep into her vortex that I couldn’t pull myself out. So many times, I told myself I couldn’t be , that I couldn’t keep longing for her. But I couldn’t do it! I really couldn’t!

"Xiao Mo..." Qi Longbing called out softly, a faint laugh escaping him as his consciousness seemed to fade for a moment.

That bet... that damned bet! Was I out of my goddamn mind to make a bet with that kid? Losing her... that was the biggest mistake of my life!

Meanwhile, Hua Xiaomo had already gone from the first floor to the second, quickly searching the private rooms for him.

One door was ajar, making it easy for her to find him.

"Yu Bao, what on earth happened to President Qi?" Hua Xiaomo asked as she walked in, her brow furrowing slightly as she looked at the man Yu Bao was supporting.

Hearing her voice, Qi Longbing looked up. His blue eyes were narrowed, and he looked utterly exhausted, as if he might fall asleep at any second.

"Xiao Mo, you’re here..." Qi Longbing smiled, an unreadable light shimmering in his eyes.

Suddenly, he raised a hand and beckoned to her. "Come here."

Seeing him , I really don’t know what to do, Hua Xiaomo thought.

"Yu Bao, why did you let President Qi drink so much!" Hua Xiaomo exclaimed, walking over to his side.

She saw that Qi Longbing’s face had an unhealthy color, and his deep blue eyes were filled with an indescribable melancholy and sorrow.
