After leaving scumbag A, I Found a Happy Ending with a Flirtatious Beauty (GL , ABO) - Chapter 7

When Shen Qiaoyi returned to Room 304, He Yu quickly adjusted her expression and greeted her with exaggerated warmth.

“Yiyi, we’re playing charades and we’re short one person. Please join us. Pretty please?”

Shen Qiaoyi smiled politely. “No, thank you. Siya and I were planning to head out early.”

He Yu grabbed her arm and called out to the director with calculated timing.

“Director, the games you arranged don’t seem fun enough. Yiyi’s already getting ready to leave.”

Shen Qiaoyi lowered her long lashes to hide the sarcasm in her eyes.

He Yu was even more shameless than she had imagined. She knew how to hide her claws and only struck when it mattered most.

“Yiyi, come join us,” the director said, waving her over. “Or should I call your boss and ask for a day off for you tomorrow?”

Well then, even leadership was being brought into this now.

In the end, Shen Qiaoyi didn’t decline again. She walked over and sat down on the circular couch.

The game was played in teams. Winners received plush toys, while the losing team had to drink as punishment.

Most of the crew were young and energetic. The room was filled with laughter and chaos. Shen Qiaoyi’s group hadn’t even played yet, and the alcohol had already run out.

He Yu eagerly offered, “I’ll go get more from the bar.”

Shen Qiaoyi watched her walk away, her eyes narrowing slightly as a sharp look surfaced.

At the bar

Lu Zhiyuan had just stepped out of the booth where that loud influencer had caused trouble. She casually placed a bill on the bar counter.

“Alice, here’s the compensation we agreed on. File it away.”

Alice nodded respectfully. As she reached for the paper, Su Jintao snatched it up first.

“What the hell?” Su Jintao’s eyes widened as she read the total. “Fifty-seven thousand for the drinks, and the sofa and table cost three hundred eighty-five thousand? Lu Zhiyuan, are you robbing people? Seriously, how did you make them agree to this?”

Lu Zhiyuan looked up calmly. “All the furniture in Wu Jiu is custom-designed by Kapty Anid. Each piece is one of a kind. Would you like to see the original purchase receipts?”

Su Jintao’s face instantly changed. She put on a flattering smile. “No need. Everyone knows Wu Jiu is one of the top clubs in Z City. Of course the furnishings are high-end.”

Lu Zhiyuan glanced at her fingers and chuckled softly. “Director Su, the wineglass you’re holding right now is from a Frala auction. It probably costs around two years of your salary.”

Su Jintao’s hand trembled involuntarily. The glass slipped from her fingers, but she caught it just in time before it hit the ground.

With her heart racing, she carefully handed the glass back to Alice.

“Do you have something against me, Alice? Why would you serve wine in such an expensive glass? Are you trying to bankrupt me?”

Alice took the glass with a pitiful look. “It’s not my fault. All the glasses in the club are like that.”

Su Jintao turned to the real culprit. “Lu Zhiyuan, you scam artist. I’m never coming back to this money trap. If I so much as scratch anything here, I can’t afford the damage on a TV station director’s salary.”

“You still have your rich father, don’t you?” Lu Zhiyuan leaned over the bar slightly, her tone playful. “Don’t worry. I’ll send the bill directly to the CEO’s office at Su Corporation.”

That one sentence made Su Jintao slump back into her bar stool.

“You… you have terrible taste in friends… I swear, I’m going to—”

She didn’t get the chance to finish her sentence before a female voice interrupted from the bar.

“Server, send ten bottles of ‘Drunken Beauty’ to Room 304.”

Room 304?

Lu Zhiyuan, who had been focused on reading documents, blinked and slowly looked up. Her eyes subtly shifted toward the Omega in front of her.

Maybe it was a habit from negotiating in business, but Lu Zhiyuan always looked people straight in the eye when assessing them.

In that instant, she caught the fleeting malice hidden in the Omega’s gaze.

Lu Zhiyuan couldn’t guess what the motive was, but she understood one thing.

That Omega was heading to Room 304.

The thought that Shen Qiaoyi might be in danger made her strangely restless. She stepped in front of Alice.

“I’ll take the drinks.”

Alice stared at her in confusion.

Was the boss getting addicted to pretending she worked here?

Su Jintao looked equally baffled.

Nobody was causing trouble in Room 304. Why did the great Miss Lu feel the need to go in person?

When Lu Zhiyuan arrived at Room 304, He Yu was already standing by the door. She quickly took the tray from her hands and stepped halfway out to block her from entering.

“I’ll take them in. You can go back to your job.”

The door was half-open, and the noise inside spilled out. The room was buzzing with excitement.

Standing just outside, Lu Zhiyuan scanned the room with sharp eyes. Eventually, she found Shen Qiaoyi in the crowd.

She was mid-gesture, playing a guessing game with the others.

The round ended, and Shen Qiaoyi lowered her hand with a confused look. A few giggling Omegas immediately gathered around her and pushed her down onto the couch.

“Yiyi, you lost. Drink up!”

He Yu had been waiting for this moment. The second she heard the words “drink as punishment,” she stood up quickly to pour.

Shen Qiaoyi watched the wine swirl slowly into the tall glass. Her expression remained calm, but inside, she was already analyzing and preparing her counterplay.

She furrowed her brows and put on a hesitant look. “I don’t really drink. How about I use tea instead?”

The other Omegas immediately began to protest.

“Come on, it’s a punishment. You can’t get away with tea.”

“Yeah, no dodging. You have to drink.”

He Yu stepped forward like she was offering help. “Don’t pressure Yiyi. How about this, I’ll drink half for her.”

She poured herself a full glass, lifted it confidently, and drank it in one big gulp. Then she turned to Shen Qiaoyi with a warm smile.

“Yiyi, I drank half for you. Now it’s your turn. Don’t worry, this one’s light. Tastes just like soda.”

Shen Qiaoyi’s expression didn’t change. She still wore her calm, gentle smile.

“Alright, I’ll take the punishment.”

She raised the glass and took a small sip.

The room burst into cheers.

“Nice one, Yiyi.”

“Let’s keep going.”

Two Omegas flanked her and pulled her back toward the sofa to keep playing the game.

Lu Zhiyuan stood outside the half-open door for a long time. She didn’t notice anything suspicious inside.

She let out a quiet, self-deprecating smile.

Maybe she was just being too paranoid.

But just as she turned to leave, the corner of her eye caught a sudden movement. A hand quickly reached for Shen Qiaoyi’s glass.

Lu Zhiyuan followed the motion up and recognized the face immediately.

It was the same Omega who had ordered drinks at the bar earlier.

In the brief moment their line of sight met, she saw a small pill slip silently from the Omega’s fingers and drop into the glass. It hit the wine with a faint hiss, releasing a few small bubbles that vanished in seconds.

Lu Zhiyuan’s heart clenched. Her pupils contracted sharply with shock.

Right then, Shen Qiaoyi lost another round and was being pushed by the others toward the table to take her punishment drink.
