"It still doesn't count as dumb, i perfectly escape from the club that night!" Yeri disputed.
Shin slyly smiled and raised her chin up while his other hand tightly gripped her waist. "so you're admitting your sins now?"
"that-" Yeri choked back what she wanted to say, why did she even bragged about it? "hehe~ that's nonsense, why are we even talking about the past when there's more other pressing matters to attend to?"
Shin looked at her with indescribable expression, his pleasant, natural scent, intoxicated her.
Again, is it the alcohol or the annoying devil is just so tempting tonight?
She flirtatiously tugged on his tie and fluttered her eyeslashes like butterfly. "Shin it's not healthy to hold yourself back...let me help you take care of big brother!"
"Yeri Zhi!" Shin furiously grabbed her delicate hands, his adam's apple bobbed up and down, his breath hot on her face. "you have a minute to leave or i swear, you won't be leaving your hotel room till i say so!"
"Shin, i'm giving you an inch and you're taking a mile? aren't you going overboard?" Yeri pouted, however, she felt Shin's menacing aura and realize she went too far from teasing him, its not that Shin will hurt her but knowing his temper, he might really abuse her in bed.
Sadly, with her current human body, there's no way she can keep up, true enough, too much of a good thing can sometimes be bad.
Yeri hurriedly went towards the door before Shin could say something she might regret, then she turned around and gave him an alluring flying kiss before slamming the door close.
'this brat!' Shin huffed in annoyance, yet his heart feels the other way.
Things went well as planned and his effort did not go to waste, Yeri may not feel the same way as he do, but neither did she pushed him away.
At most, she's still the same, there was no hate and fear.
------------------------------------
The party is in full swing and the guests were enjoying the night, including Tristan with his harem of women.
Meanwhile, Shin could hardly contain his anger while his gaze never left Yeri. Not even an hour has passed and she's already on a drinking frenzy!
She actually dared to go against his words?!
'Yeri Zhi, see if i don't punish you later!' Shin huffed inwardly, since its her birthday banquet, he can only watch her from afar and tolerate her actions.
"grumpy Shin!" a voice interrupted his train of thoughts.
Shin is downing a glass of wine when he notice from hisperipheral vision a sturdy middle-aged man, smiling at him. "Master Fang, I didn't expect to see you here." Shin politely bowed, feeling conflicted.
Master Fang is one of his father's close friend, if that nosy old man found out of his appearance tonight, he will surely pester him again about Yeri.
"well i didn't expect to see you here either! I was surprised when you both young lads showed up earlier. Where is Tristan? oh, is your father doing well?" Mr. Fang gleefully spoke.
"hmm, his fine." Shin briefly replied.

"you might not know but Klaus is a close friend of mine, I heard from him that you invested with his company? tell me lad, what has caught your interest?" Mr. Fang mischievously grinned. "could it be that precious daughter of Klaus...hmm?"
Shin frowned, averting his eyes. How the hell did the old man come up with such conclusion?! Is his ancestors a dog?
"hahahaha! i knew it!" Mr. Fang warmly laughed and patted Shin's shoulder. "grumpy Shin is finally out of his cave! how soon will Allister see some little grumpies running around, eh?"
"Master Fang sure loves to jest." Shin calmly answered, not confirming anything but his also not denying it, somehow, he suddenly imagine Yeri with their kids.
"this old man is glad, I can see that your quiet serious with her...little princess is spoiled and can be unruly sometimes but i think you're already aware of that." Mr. Fang nodded his head. "she's also very frail so you should always look after her health."
"what about her health?" Shin asked, he recalled from the information Tristan gathered before that she was ill for a month and is the reason why her coming of age celebration was delayed.
"honestly, i didn't know the details. Klaus seemed unsure about it as well, i just hope it won't happen again."
"If it isn't Master Fang, i apologize for not greeting you earlier." Tristan suddenly called out, joining on their conversation.
"Tristan! still a skirt-chaser eh?" Master Fang happily raised his glass gesturing a toast to Tristan.
...
After sometime, Shin hastily glance to where Yeri supposed to be but only saw her friends, his eyes scanned the crowd but still no sign of her.
Where the hell did she go? He just turned his back for a few minutes and now she's gone.
Shin quickly excuse himself not bothering to answer Tristan and Mr. Fang's questioning look, he will only feel at ease till he see her with his own eyes.
However to his frustration, the drunkard woman is nowhere to be seen. Did she step out of the banquet hall?
Shin grab another drink to suppressed his rage, it felt like the demon within him roared angrily, thrashing and struggling to break free from the chains binding him, trying to take over his sanity.
What is wrong with him?
Shin took out his phone to trace Yeri when he felt someone tugged on his suit.
"uhm, CEO Keir?" Venice timidly called out, she was prepared to say her script but the look from Shin's face is far from what she expected.
Venice unconsciously step back, her lips trembled and her legs turned wobbly.
"I have certain qualifications before hitting a woman and you just ace all of them." Shin angrily enunciated every words.
bang!
bang!
bang!
Loud sounds of gunshots can be heard from the hallway and echoed through the banquet hall, guests were panic-stricken, confusion and fear descended.
Shin's heart sank in trepidation and he abruptly forgot Venice existence.
