Zhang Jingdong laughed, "You actually figured it out, alright, I admit that my previous words did have some consideration of this aspect, after all, the two of them will be on stage soon, and it’s not a good time for me to act against the wind."

Earlier, there was an incident with a hickey when they arrived, and although Lin Shishi forgave him, she must be somewhat concerned in her heart.

Once they get on stage, and they see him with Tang Tang, then when they return to Spring Breeze Garden, not only would the surprise be gone, but they might even face a barrage of criticism.

Moreover, the most critical thing is, Tang Tang is Wang Tao’s cousin after all, and Tang Tang’s mother is also the second-in-command at Wang Ruocheng’s company. If he were to have something happen with her, any conflicts later on could outweigh the benefits.

Besides, he’s also afraid Wang Tao might overthink.

After all, Tang Tang is highly likely to work at his father’s company in the future, and if she turns out to be particularly capable, she might clash with Wang Tao. By that time, things would be really difficult to handle.

Besides, with so many beautiful women in the world, it’s not worth it for him to pursue such a "dangerous" beauty.

That’s why he unusually candidly expressed his stance to such a great beauty.

However, to Tang Tang, although she was deeply amazed when she saw Zhang Jingdong last time, after these days of settling in Jiangdu and thinking things over, especially after meeting her mother, who talked to her a lot, she originally already knew there was probably no chance with Zhang Jingdong.

Her trip to the bar this time was for farewell, and also to completely break any thoughts of anything happening with Zhang Jingdong.

But what Zhang Jingdong said just now not only didn’t make her completely give up, it reignited a flame in her heart.

This flame was not just a flame of love, but also a trace of anger.

Because she had always been pursued by other men since she was young, and she was used to rejecting them.

She had never met a man like Zhang Jingdong, whom she approached proactively, yet he didn’t advance further. Instead, he actually took the initiative to declare keeping a distance from her.

She secretly decided she must get Zhang Jingdong, then ruthlessly kick him to the curb, to make him understand her capabilities.

So she casually said, "But as far as I know, it seems like they’re not your only girlfriends, right? Yan Ning, Qin Yu, Teacher Shu, and President Liang are all your girlfriends, aren’t they?"

"You’re so excessive, they all can accept it, so would they really care if there’s another woman sitting next to you?"

Zhang Jingdong replied seriously, "I do have many girlfriends, but every one of them is carefully chosen, and before determining the relationship, I also got the consent of all the other women."

"Moreover, having many girlfriends doesn’t mean I’m a frivolous man. In fact, in front of my women, I am very observant of men’s virtues, which is the least respect I have for them."

"Hmm? Really?" Tang Tang blinked her beautiful eyes, "To some extent, your words do make sense. So, are you trying to drive me away?"

Tang Tang said this as if she had no intention of leaving. Instead, she leaned over, poured herself a drink, and downed it in one go.

Zhang Jingdong instantly realized this sister was indeed a tough nut to crack, his heart tightening, "Of course I don’t want to drive you away, I just..."

Tang Tang interrupted directly, "If you want me to leave, we can do this, let’s have a drinking competition. If you win, then I’ll leave right away."

"But if I win, not only do I not have to leave, but whatever I want you to do, you have to do, how about it? Do you dare?"

Zhang Jingdong chuckled silently, but said, "Tang Tang, the hole you dug is a bit too obvious, isn’t it? Others might not know, but I’m the bar owner. Of course, I know that any woman who dares to challenge a man to a drinking competition must be a heavy drinker."

Tang Tang instantly rolled her eyes at Zhang Jingdong, "You claim to be the bar owner, yet you don’t dare accept a woman’s drinking invitation!"

"Since that’s the case, let’s just say you’ve conceded!"

Zhang Jingdong saw she had fallen for it, and promptly said, "If you’re saying that, I guess I have to accept the challenge."

"But I have to reiterate the penalty; if you win, you can order me to do anything, and if I win, I can order you to do anything, is that fair?"

Tang Tang did not hesitate, "Sure, no problem!"

Zhang Jingdong saw she agreed and raised his hand to call over the manager.

"Bring 10 bottles of Hennessy."

"Alright, please wait a moment."

As he watched the person walk away, Zhang Jingdong turned to Tang Tang and said, "To be fair, I have to drink at least two more bottles than you for it to count as my win, is that okay?"

Tang Tang was momentarily stunned, "Wha... what? You have to drink two more bottles than me to win? If I didn’t hear wrong, you just ordered Hennessy, right?"

"That’s right." 𝐟𝗿𝐞𝚎𝚠𝐞𝚋𝕟𝐨𝚟𝐞𝕝.𝕔𝕠𝚖

"May I ask, can you drink two bottles yourself?"

Zhang Jingdong retorted directly, "From your words, it seems like you can’t drink two bottles?"

Tang Tang spread her hands, "I can drink two bottles, but at most that’s it. Are you sure you can drink four bottles?"

Zhang Jingdong shrugged, "Since you’ve already revealed your drinking capacity, here’s the deal: to prevent you from getting too drunk, why don’t you just not drink? If I can drink four bottles of Hennessy in one go, you concede, would that work?"

Tang Tang blinked rapidly, "Are you sure you can drink that much?"

"If you don’t believe it, you can call your brother right now. But forget it, last time we had a drinking contest, after I finished two bottles, he was already lying down on the table."

At this point, the manager brought people over, and they opened the bottles.

"Boss, should we open all the bottles?"

"Open five bottles first."

"Alright."

After they finished opening the bottles, Tang Tang casually picked one up and downed half of it in one go.

Then she said, "This wine is real, alright, if you can actually drink four bottles, you win!"
