It’s just a game
All eyes were glued to the table as Bridgette twisted her wrist and spun the empty bottle. It whistled as its glass ground against the table, spinning like a wheel. When it finally stopped, the bottle’s head pointed straight at Zi Han.Bridgette’s eyes immediately lit up in excitement. She couldn’t believe her luck.“It looks like you just can’t stop being the center of attention,” Feng Xiao joked.“I told you he is quite a special guy,” Bridgette replied before turning to Zi Han. “So, what will it be? Truth or dare?”“Truth,” Zi Han answered without hesitation.Bridgette smiled with her eyes and leaned forward. “Alright, let’s get to know you better. Tell me, Zi Han. Who is this wealthy uncle of yours we’ve been hearing so much about?”“He was a good man…used to own a few farmlands on the outskirts of the city,” Zi Han replied curtly, trying not to go into any details that might give away his lie.“So, he was in the real estate business?” Xiao Feng asked.Zi Han nodded. “He was.”“M
Truth and Dare
Feng Xiao and Zi Han shook hands again and joked about the whole thing. With tensions finally de-escalating, Bridgette decided to get the party started. More beer cans and vodka bottles made their way out of the fridge, and soon the pizza arrived, along with fresh sushi from the best restaurant in the city.While Zi Han instantly became the center of attention, Kwang and Suyin kept to themselves, avoiding the rich snobs who had their own elite circle.Bridgette, however, was not ready to let them stay that way. She quickly clapped her hands and lowered the music to get everyone’s attention.“It’s getting pretty sleepy in here. How about a game?”Feng Xiao gave the thumbs up. “I’m down.”“Count me in, too,” Cheng Lin said.Lefan nodded as well. “Let’s do it.”“What kind of game are we talking about?” Daisy asked, knitting her eyebrows. “I nearly put Yutai’s eye out the last time we were playing darts.”Yutai chuckled at her remark and crossed his fingers. “I am not going to stay in th
A hostile friendship
Getting acquainted with the elites of Argos was one of the sole reasons for Zi Han accepting Bridgette’s invitation. But he never expected the Governor’s son to come up to him so easily to strike up a conversation.Feng Xiao was every bit the arrogant leader just like his father, but there was a measured shrewdness in his eyes. Instead of waiting for Bridgette to do the honors, Feng Xiao took it upon himself to greet Zi Han and offer him a hand of friendship, shocking everyone else present at the party.Zi Han shook his hand firmly and spoke in a taut and disciplined voice, “Bridgette told me you’d be coming. But I didn’t know you were so eager to meet me.”Feng Xiao smiled and pressed Zi Han’s shoulder, his eyes flashing with hints of tame madness.“I always try to stay acquainted with those who are in the news, and you, my friend, have done your best to ruffle my feathers,” he replied before moving to the window and eyeing Zi Han’s car. “You know, there are only three Hellhounds in
The life of the party
Suyin and Kwang weren’t used to such luxuries, and even though Zi Han was a friend, they felt completely out of place in a house like this. But the maids and attendants did their best to make them comfortable by catering to their every need and treating them like royalty.Once the two had finished bathing and slipped into their linen gowns, the attendants took them into separate bedrooms and seated them before the mirror for their grooming session.Kwang didn’t even get the chance to voice his protest as they tilted his chair back and laid him on his back while two attendants clipped his nails and a third washed and dried his hair. Meanwhile, Suyin was given the full pedicure treatment, starting with an exotic fish spa. She nearly freaked out as she felt the little monster nibbling on her toes.“Ouch! What is this?” she cried out nervously. But the maid was quick to reassure her. “These are just harmless fish. They are good at exfoliating dead skin and easing the tension. Please try
A lavish homecoming
At four in the evening, as the last lecture concluded, Zi Han checked his phone anxiously. He knew he had given Zhen Lee a mammoth task and wondered if he had gone overboard this time.“Maybe I could have just asked him to rent a place instead.” Seeing no new messages in his inbox, Zi Han became concerned. There was no way he could take his friends back to the Silver Wind mansion and expose his connection with the Black Dragons, but if he suddenly canceled the plan to take them to his house, it would spoil his friendship and ruin his reputation.Just as he was ready to call Zhen Lee to hear what the problem was, he received a call from Dongxiang himself.“A decent property has been purchased as per your instructions, Master. I am sending you the location right now. I hope you find it to your liking.”A flood of relief washed over Zi Han’s face as he heard those words. “Thank you so much, Dong. You have made my life a lot easier.”“I am always at your service, Supreme Dragon. Just fe
A friend indeed
Bridgette couldn’t believe that Zi Han suggested she should allow those two losers to tag along. There was just no way in hell she was going to invite Kwang and his cousin to her pool party.“This isn’t some school tea party where there will be board games and cake,” Bridgette remarked in a snarky voice. “Your poor friends would be completely lost over there. Besides, they wouldn’t even be able to match the standards.”“Then I am not coming as well,” Zi Han replied curtly and prepared to pack his bag.Never in her life had Bridgette felt so humiliated. Not only had Zi Han turned down her invitation in front of her girl gang, but he didn’t even seem bothered to apologize. However, Bridgette Wong wasn’t the type of girl who would accept defeat so easily. As Zi Han was about to walk away, she stopped him.“Alright, your friends can come as well,” she said, dropping her father’s card on the table. “There is the address. Call me when you reach. The party starts at eight tonight, but the r
