Despite Dong Tianleng’s courteous efforts in declining her offer, Yun Zuiyue was brutally insistent. “Little Cold, if you don’t accept, you can forget about being siblings!”

Only then did Dong Tianleng give in.

“Servants, serve dishes and wine, the best we have.” Yun Zuiyue ordered. “I shall drink with both my little brothers today.”

The entire Cirrus House was taken aback when the words came out; the eyes of the people standing around bulged in surprise.

Since when did Yun Zuiyue drink? And with her guests at that? It was an unprecedented event. Of course, whispers began to come about.

“I’m drunk, aren’t I? Did I hear that Yun Zuiyue is drinking with someone? Who has such a high honor?”

“Right, right. This is indeed an honor. I have spent several hundred thousand taels in Cirrus House and Yun Zuiyue has never come over to sit with me. Who is it inside?”

“I’m envious!”

“Sigh, we can only blame our lack of status…”

…

Dong Tianleng felt buzzed with lightheadedness; he could literally ride the cloud nine that he was on.

What an honor he had been given!

A gentleman would die for the patron recognizing his worth - this was exactly what Dong Tianleng felt at the treatment he was given. For a brief moment, he was moved to tears.

The dishes and wine were served.

Yun Zuiyue smiled gently and spoke with a velvety voice. Three of them sat in a triangle with Yun Zuiyue at the host’s seat to serve her two brothers.

Dong Tianleng was naturally arranged to be seated at the main guest’s seat.

“I need to thank Young Master Yun.” Yun Zuiyue held her goblet up high. “I gain another younger brother today…” She smiled, her eyes reddened. “I have been an orphan since I was young, I don’t have any siblings. Suddenly, I replace myself with another brother today… I am deeply moved. Let me propose a toast to Young Master Yun.”

Yun Yang laughed. “Sister Yue, no worries about that at all. I shall empty this goblet then.”

He raised his goblet and gulped the liquid down.

Dong Tianleng felt his heart jerked in sympathy as he sighed and said, “I never knew Sister Yue’s background was so sad. From now onwards, I shall be your birth brother!”

“You have to be obedient if you wish to be my younger brother.” Yun Zuiyue said in a gentle manner, “Drink less wine and take good care. Don’t make a ruckus and worry Sister Yue.”

Dong Tianleng nodded urgently. “Don’t worry, Sister Yue! I shall be very good.”

As Yun Yang listened, he took another sip of wine.

You’re very good… Hmm, very good. Let me drink another goblet of wine then…

Three of them continued to imbibe with growing delight.

Dong Tianleng grew more contented as well, his heart joyous when he saw Yun Yang drinking to stave off unhappiness.

His boss had introduced him to Sister Yue and now Sister Yue’s attitude towards both of them was significantly different.

She called him Little Cold but she still called the boss Young Master Yun.

This difference in closeness was apparent.

I can’t help but feel a tinge of satisfaction when I see my lord being upset.

At this time, a maid came in and called softly for Sister Yue.

“What is it?” Yun Zuiyue asked.

“It’s Shui Yuehan from the crown prince’s residence. Sir Shui…” The maid bit her lips and said timidly, “He has heard that Sister Yue actually has the interest to drink today and wanted to invite Sister Yue over for a toast…”

Yun Zuiyue was surprised, looking at the goblet in her hand in a dazed manner and said, “Say that my alcohol tolerance is low. I won’t be going over.”

“Alright.” The maid then left.

A frown had already made its way onto Dong Tianleng’s forehead.

This Shui fellow…

However, he maintained his gentlemanly demeanor while looking at Yun Zuiyue and thought that it would not be good if he went over to replace fault if they had only sent a messenger over once. I’m drinking happily with Sister Yue, how dare they come to disturb?

A while later, the maid entered again. “Sister Yue…”

“What is it this time?” Yun Zuiyue’s frown was deepened.

“Er… Fu Guansan from Plethora Gem Tower, Sir Fu… heard that Sister Yue started drinking today and… wants to…” The maid looked troubled. “Wants to… ask Sister Yue over for a drink…”

Yun Zuiyue sighed again and said in a low voice, “Say I’m not feeling well, I won’t be going over. These are my younger brothers here, I’m accompanying my family to drink. Please help me explain this to them.”

“Yes.” The maid went out again.

Dong Tianleng’s expression grew darker.

He realized that he had just caused trouble for this sister he had newly acquired.

On the other side, Yun Yang said frowning, “Sister Yue, you shouldn’t be drinking today. You haven’t been drinking for so many years. It’s fine when you don’t drink at all but now that you’ve started, it’s hard to tell what will happen in the future.”

Yun Zuiyue was silent for a bit before forcing a smile and said, “It’s alright, I’m happy today. Come, Little Cold, let sister give you a toast.”

Dong Tianleng felt a heaviness in his heart, actually sighing and gulping down the goblet’s content, thinking how should he solve this problem.

At this moment, a clear laughter rang outside saying, “Since Lady Zuiyue refuses to go over but is drinking for the first time in so many years, I really don’t want to let this opportunity slip and come uninvited. Allow me to propose a toast to Lady Zuiyue right here! I don’t know if Lady Zuiyue would honor this wish of mine?”

Just as the voice stopped, a handsome middle-aged man with a carefree and leisurely aura pushed the door open himself and entered; a goblet in his hands.

Yun Yang kept quiet.

The veins on Dong Tianleng’s temples were already throbbing, an obvious sign he could no longer reign himself in for long.

This person was genuinely shocked when he saw the two people in the room and said, “So it’s Young Master Dong… This is… Marquis Yun’s… Young Marquis Yun?”

Yun Yang nodded but did not speak.

Dong Tianleng’s expression was hostile.

This had to be Shui Yuehan. He chortled and said, “I was wondering who had such great honor, I see now that it’s Young Master Dong.”

Both Yun Yang and Dong Tianleng were here but Dong Tianleng was sitting at the main guest’s seat. Naturally, Dong Tianleng would come first; no matter whether it was the status in the martial arts world or the influence of family background, Dong Tianleng was far more superior.

Just as Dong Tianleng was about to explode in anger, another chuckle came from the outside as someone said, “I should come join in the fun since Lady Zuiyue is in a good mood today. I feel guilty towards Lady Zuiyue, let this be a toast of apology. I implore that Lady Zuiyue gives me this honor.”

As the monolog continued, another person came walking in, a goblet in his hand as well.

This person was muscular, his pace sturdy and dominantly strong.

Yun Zuiyue stood and smiled. “Please, both of you sirs are really putting me in a tough spot. Zuiyue is not good at consuming alcohol… Besides, both of you are here together, how can Zuiyue’s alcohol tolerance hold up to this?”

Shui Yuehan guffawed and said, “Lady Zuiyue has a naturally high tolerance, what can a goblet of wine do? Besides, I’ve come over today. If Lady Zuiyue refuses to give even this honor, my reputation would really crumble to the ground.”

Fu Guansan smiled. “Brother Shui is right. Since Lady Zuiyue is so jolly today, we should congratulate you. I hope Lady Zuiyue honors our wish.”

He smiled faintly and continued, “In addition, Young Master Dong here is proof of that. If Lady Zuiyue could drink with Young Master Dong all this while, then just this mere goblet of mine should not be a problem.”

Beside them, Dong Tianleng finally lost his cool and stood up abruptly. He pursed his lips saying, “Oh, what are you trying to do now? This lady is unwilling to drink. Are you fellows coming here to force her?”

Yun Zuiyue quickly stopped him with an angry glance. “Young brother!”

With a change in expression, she smiled at Shui Yuehan and Fu Guansan. “Both sirs have taken good care of Zuiyue all this while. Of course, Zuiyue has to drink to this toast. Young Master Dong has had a little too much to drink. Both sirs are old friends of Young Master Dong, I hope that the both of you won’t be too upset with him.”

As she spoke, her hands went towards the goblet in Shui Yuehan’s hand.

“Hold it!” Dong Tianleng hollered and stood up with a flushed face. “Sister Yue, don’t drink it! Who are these two imbeciles? How dare they come and force you to drink?. I must…”

Yun Zuiyue cried softly, “Young Master Dong!”

She turned and signaled for him to back down with her eyes as she said, “This is a matter for the Cirrus House. Young Master Dong, if you cannot hold your alcohol, it would be better for you to return home sooner than later.”

On the other hand, both Shui Yuehan and Fu Guansan’s expression turned dark. They took a glance at Dong Tianleng, both of them filled with doubts.

This Dong Tianleng had frequented Cirrus House recently too.

Although he was only acquainted to them, they did not have any conflict with him.

Why was he behaving this way today?

Moreover, it was obvious that Yun Zuiyue was defending him tonight. It was clear that Yun Zuiyue was reluctant to have Dong Tianleng meddling in this, trying to replace a way out for the man.

Dong Tianleng though, was already seething with rage. He was not an idiot, how could he not know that Yun Zuiyue had been constantly defending him?

He had just said that he would shoulder whatever matter it was and solve whatever problem that presented itself.

Now he had caused trouble for his newly acquired sister just because he drank with her, and to have this sister defending him repeatedly without a care that she would be upset herself, was too much to bear.

How could Dong Tianleng allow this to happen?

“I am not drunk!” Dong Tianleng stepped out right in front of Yun Zuiyue. He smirked at Shui Yuehan and Fu Guansan. “We’re not drinking to this toast! If both of you are sensible, return to where you have come from! Don’t anger this young master!”

Shui Yuehan frowned and asked, “Young Master Dong, what ails you today?”

Dong Tianleng was unable to control his rising temper. Seeing that these two people were still here, he broke out in a vicious rage and began to scream aloud, “Should you be calling me Young Master Dong? Am I that f*cking close to you? What f*cking sheet are you? Would you actually force your father’s sister to drink in front of your father? You really have some guts, don’t you? F*cking hell, being a slave to the crown prince for a few days now and you think your status has gone up? I f*cking asked you to get out and you’re still f*cking staying here? Son of a b*tch, has your father given you too much honor?”

His swearing was merciless and brutally upsetting to the ears.

Shui Yuehan’s gentle expression instantly turned ugly, his breathing quickened as he glared at Dong Tianleng.

“And you!” Dong Tianleng turned to Fu Guansan, a palm slapping the goblet in the latter’s hand, causing the wine to splatter onto the floor. He pointed at him and shouted, “You’re just a shopkeeper! Is there nowhere else for you to spend your fortune? Did you f*cking come here to anger your father? Your father is drinking here, how dare you f*cking come in uninvited? F*ck you, how can you be so audacious? Glare at me? Go on, glare at me again! You have eyes but you can’t recognize anyone, are your f*cking eyes for pissing? Believe me when I say your father is going to dig them out! Piss off, are you waiting for your father to spend wine on you? Bullsheet! You refused a toast only to drink a forfeit! Don’t know how much you weigh? YOu really believe that you can soar up high with just that bit of fortune? F*ck off!”

Dong Tianleng’s tirade against both men was amazingly fluid and had no holds barred whatsoever!
