The Billionaire's Priceless Darling: 33 Days of the CEO's Pursuit - Chapter 25 - She Went to Beg Him 3

Caught between a rock and a hard place.

Gu Xiaoai took a deep breath, then flashed a dazzling smile as she walked over and sat down next to Li Juefeng. “Hello everyone, I’m Gu Xiaoai.”

“Miss Gu, Miss Gu,” a bald man glanced tentatively at Li Juefeng, “I wonder if Miss Gu will be playing a role in the next installment of ‘Killing’?”

Were they here to discuss a movie?

Then why did he even ask her to come?

“My woman is not an actress,” Li Juefeng replied indifferently, leaning forward as his finger traced a circle in the air above the ice bucket on the coffee table. He turned to Gu Xiaoai, raising his eyebrows in a slightly provocative challenge.

Gu Xiaoai wasn’t stupid-she knew he wanted her to drink. But there were at least ten bottles in the bucket.

With her pitiful alcohol tolerance, she’d likely be done halfway through.

“Scared?” Li Juefeng looked at her with slightly tipsy eyes, his tone blunt and resolute. “Don’t drink? Then leave.”

“If I drink, will you withdraw your charges against the Magazine Publisher? Including the ones involving Korean Star Ela?” Gu Xiaoai asked in a low voice, audible only to the two of them.

She was asking for a favor, yet still seemed so self-righteous.

Did she really think she was some untouchable princess?

Li Juefeng remained silent, his expression ambiguous.

This bastard… Gu Xiaoai cursed inwardly. She grabbed a bottle and started chugging, the fiery liquid burning its way down her throat and leaving an aching pain in its wake.

After downing one bottle, Gu Xiaoai’s entire body felt overheated.

The burning sensation from her throat to her chest tortured her, wave after wave.

Clenching her teeth, Gu Xiaoai grabbed another bottle and downed it, going all in. One hand pressed against her scorching chest, as if it could alleviate the pain even slightly.

After three bottles in a row, everyone was stunned, and they began clapping and chanting, “Miss Gu! Miss Gu! Miss Gu! Miss Gu!”

Face flushed, Gu Xiaoai pressed the empty fourth bottle onto the coffee table. Her vision was already starting to blur…

Li Juefeng’s gaze darkened as he observed her flushed face. Watching her shaky hand reaching for another bottle in the bucket, he could tell she was already at her limit…

No tolerance for alcohol, yet drinking so recklessly.

She was practically asking for trouble.

As her hand reached toward a bottle, Li Juefeng grabbed her wrist. Her hand was soft, and at this moment, noticeably warm.

Gu Xiaoai mustered all her strength to push his hand away. Her eyes welled up with redness, and her gaze was stubborn as she gritted out her words forcefully, “I can finish! Let go!”
