    Chapter 188


    She watched as Kevan downed an entire bottle of vodka with a straight face Despite the strong alcohol,


    it seemed to have little effect on him. He remained upright in his seat, and his hand never loosened its


    grip on her waist


    As the others called for another round of whiskey, Dn interrupted and announced the next


    activity. “It’s time for the exchange of gifts”


    This session had always been the least popr activity at his Christmas party for a very simple reason.


    It was an activity where a group of adult men had to prepare their own gifts out of sincerity. Oftentimes,


    there would be more creative gag gifts rather than actual thoughtful gifts, and almost everyone would


    be forced to ept whatever they were given


    During such times, Dn would always capture their exciting expressions with his camera and share


    them in their group chat In previous years, everyone alwayscked enthusiasm, but this year brought


    about a dramatic change.


    “Great! I want to pick Larissa’s gift!”


    “You’re dreaming’ Her gift is mine!”


    Suddenly someone piped up yfully. “Shouldn’t Larissa’s gift be left for Kevan? You guys are so


    clueless”


    These words resonated deeply with Kevan, and he began to think of ways to make it happen. However,


    the group was filled with dim-witted people that did not understand his intentions.


    “Kevan didn’t bring any gift, so he can’t participate in this segment!”


    “Yeah, Larissa must’ve prepared a separate gift for him. Spare us her gift!”


    “Please, Kevan! Give us a chance to receive a normal gift for once!”


    Larissa didn’t expect her gift to be the center of attention at the party, but she also didn’t expect to stay


    here until now. The situation made her feel a bit awkward. Although the yarn she bought was of high


    quality, the value of the gift itself was not expensive. This group of men who were used to luxury brands


    probably wouldn’t use it even if they received it.


    They all held such high expectations now, she couldn’t imagine their disappointment when they see the


    giftter.


    “Stop arguing!” Dn stepped forward to maintain order. “Let’s follow the rules. Whoever draws the


    number is the one who gets the gift.”


    Everyone had to hand over their gifts to Dn upon entering, and in return, they received a numbered


    card from him. Then, he would bring out a ck box during the segment, and each person would draw


    a card. The number on the card determined whose gift they would receive. As Kevan did not bring any


    gifts, he didn’t have a number, so he couldn’t participate in the gift exchange.


    While others were drawing cards, he sat quietly next to Larissa, calmly watching theirughter and


    commotion Larissa’s number was quickly drawn by someone


    “It’s me! I got her number!” The person knelt down on the ground dramatically and kissed the card in


    his hand as if he had won the jackpot. Meanwhile, others were filled with envy, and they carried out the


    segment in a somber mood


    There were other activities nned after the event, but Kevan imed he was feeling a bit tipsy from


    the alcohol and needed to go home early to rest as he had work the next day. He didn’t want to stay


    here any longer.


    The others seemed to understand and sent them off, saying. It’s gettingte! You guys should rest carly


    There’s no need to stay and hang out with us bachelors!”


    Larissa understood the hidden meaning behind their words and jokingly replied, blushing. We won’t be


    able to rest for some time.”


    “Oh?” They were all confused and misunderstood the meaning behind her words.


    Then, Larissa reached out her hand and said. “Didn’t you promise me a whip? Don’t you want to see
