"Don’t touch him for now," Gu Shaocheng spoke up.
"Why not act? I really don’t understand. Why are you guys always so hesitant and overthinking everything? If it were , I’d make a clean sweep—no future trouble!"
Such cautiousness and restrictions in actions, it’s suffocating!
It’s just infuriating!
"Do you know how many people are eyeing my position with envy? Keeping him can contain the growth of other factions. Why wouldn’t Shaocheng enjoy watching them restrain each other and fight in the shadows? Do you realize how much trouble that would save Shaocheng? There’s an old saying in China, ’A slight move in one part may affect the whole situation.’ It’s easy to get rid of him, but the problems that follow would be even greater, so we can’t act rashly," Bai Wuqing explained to him patiently, analyzing in detail.
Nan Baihao touched his hair. Although he didn’t understand these complexities, he appreciated when people took the ti to explain things to him, and he would take it to heart. Bai Wuqing’s few words made him have a sudden realization: "So it’s like the ancient emperors, where all the ministers were restraining each other. If one is moved, the balance is disrupted, and it will create a bigger ss for older brother. Is that what you an?"
Yan Fengchi smiled, "You’re not too dumb."
"I’ve never been close to being dumb!" Nan Baihao said, laughing at himself, "Whatever, I’ll spare his life for now. But if he troubles older brother again, I’ll definitely finish him off for good!"

"Co on, Chenxing, join for a drink." Hua Hua brought out so fine red wine from his collection, opened two bottles, filled two glasses to the brim, picked up one, and downed it in one gulp.
That action wasn’t so much drinking but rather wasting the wine.
Chenxing watched, feeling heartbroken.
"Hua Hua, slow down a bit."
Hua Hua ignored her, pushing the other glass toward her, "Drink, drink with !"
"I’m not good with alcohol. I get drunk easily, and Shaocheng doesn’t allow to drink. Besides, I’m pregnant right now." Chenxing tried to find excuses to refuse.
Hua Hua just chuckled, his heart indescribable with words.
He sat on the floor, unconcerned about his image, "If you won’t drink, I’ll drink by myself!"
Saying that, he grabbed the other high glass, tilted his head back, and swallowed another whole glass of red wine. The aroma of the wine lingered in his mouth, but he couldn’t taste any sweetness, only feeling an increasing soreness in his heart.
Don’t they say that getting drunk can drown sorrows?
After two glasses, why didn’t he feel any relief from the heaviness inside? Thinking of older brother suffering from that tyrannical disease, his eyes couldn’t help but well up with a wave of sour tears.
Unknowingly, he had drunk the entire bottle of red wine.
Chenxing watched, feeling distressed and at a loss on how to stop him.
Hua Hua grabbed the second bottle of wine and started pouring again; Chenxing caught the bottle, stopping him: "Hua Hua, don’t do this, drinking this much can hurt you. Drink slower."
At this mont, slightly drunk, he pushed Chenxing’s hand away and said, "Chenxing, don’t stop . Let drink. If I get drunk, I can pretend all this is just a nightmare. Let drink!"
Due to the influence of alcohol, with his inhibitions lowered, he just wanted to stuff his stomach full and let the alcohol wash away all the bad moods.
