Chapter 871: Chapter 871: Tang Zhou’s Counterattack Chapter 871: Chapter 871: Tang Zhou’s Counterattack Seeing Tang Zhou’s constipated expression, Tang Xiao added, “If you really can’t get over your mental block, just drink more tonight. Alcohol strengthens the courage of the cowardly. If tonight goes well, register for the marriage tomorrow. If not, then postpone the certificate again.”

“Why do I feel like the advice from my brother is so unreliable?” Tang Zhou retorted, “Why don’t you drink more, ‘alcohol strengthens the courage of the cowardly,’ and then go and marry Yan Xi? Heh, it’s all talk when it comes to advising others; when it’s your turn, you’re the coward. If you’ve got what it takes, get drunk and settle things with Yan Xi. She’s been single all these years, isn’t she just waiting for you? I dare you to take the initiative just once.”

“Enough, don’t bring up what should be left alone.” Before he could finish his sentence, his mobile phone was snatched away by Tang Zhou.

Tang Zhou flipped through the contacts, trying to find Yan Xi’s number, but after a long search, he couldn’t find it. Instead, he discovered a contact saved with the nickname “20” and out of curiosity, he dialed the number.

After the call connected, no one spoke on the other end. Tang Zhou said with a try-it-and-see attitude, “Hello, Yan Xi?”

“Little Zhou,” the voice came with either a sigh of relief or disappointment.

“Yan Xi, I’m getting engaged today, why didn’t you come to support me? Even if not for me, you should’ve come for my brother Tong. You were desk-mates for twelve years. I don’t care, even if you’re busy with something very important, you have to come over and have a drink at my engagement party.”

Tang Zhou heard something said from the other end and excitedly responded, “Great, I’ll keep waiting for you. If you don’t come, I won’t let this engagement party end. It’s up to you.”

After that, Tang Zhou excitedly hung up the phone and looked up to see his brother Tang Xiao watching him with complicated eyes.

Tang Zhou returned the phone to Tang Xiao, mimicking his brother’s gesture, he patted Tang Xiao’s shoulder with a sense of seriousness, “You have to face this day eventually, remember to be proactive. Women like it when you’re assertive and dominant. If you lack family background, make up for it with initiative. I can only teach you so much; if all else fails, just drink more.”

Watching Tang Zhou leave in an arrogant manner, Mu Nianbai, Lin Nan, and Mo Zhe all revealed knowing smiles.

The three said in unison, “I think Little Zhou makes a lot of sense, brother, don’t chicken out any longer. Everyone knows Yan Xi returned to the capital for you. If you don’t take the initiative, even we can’t stand it anymore.”

“Making fun of me, are you?” Tang Xiao said, fondling his glass.

Twenty minutes later, a Maybach with a military plate stopped in front of the villa. They say the standard business suit includes a three-piece set, and the waistcoat is essential. However, the woman who emerged from the car was missing a waistcoat. She was wearing a white suit with a black V-neck shirt trimmed in gold underneath, strong in presence yet not lacking in sexiness. A luxury watch on her wrist accentuated her authoritative beauty.

Her vermilion lipstick made Yan Xi’s face appear very white.

Her light eyebrows emphasized the brightness of her eyes and the density of her lashes.

Her hair, not too long, just reached her neck, fluffy and curled, giving an impression of exceptional sharpness and efficiency.

Tang Xiao stood in front of the floor-to-ceiling window, holding a glass of red wine. His warm gaze fell softly on Yan Xi but turned sharp as another man stepped out of the car and joined her.

Mu Nianbai, standing next to Tang Xiao, also noticed Yan Xi wasn’t alone. A man emerged from the car, holding two small gifts, and then, arm in arm with Yan Xi, the two of them walked in openly.
