Gu Liancheng remained poised and stuffed a piece of cake into his mouth from the table, "Nothing can shut you up."
Su Luo silently took a bite and then stuffed the same cake into the mouth of the laughing Shen Bin.
Shen Bin tried to do the same to Gu Liancheng, but was blocked by his hand, leaving him the only one elegantly sipping red wine.
With a penetrating gaze, he looked in a certain direction downstairs and smiled.
The other two, while munching on their cakes, could do nothing but shake their heads helplessly, "Ah, our handsome and gallant Fourth Brother, has now turned into a wife-gazing fool."
Yep, he was happy to be one.
...
"Sorry for the wait, I had to drop the kids off at their godfatherâs place, got stuck in traffic, so Iâm late."
"Itâs fine," An Hao said with a smile, "Youâre just in time for dinner at home, saving me one meal."
"Right?" Song Jiaqi also laughed, "I was saying you saved Haohao a meal too, itâs just the two of us for dinner, quite a save. Now donât be shy, order whatever you want to eat or drink, donât be polite with her!"
Song Jiaqi seemed to be perfectly fine.
Was she overthinking it, or had she simply overslept?
The atmosphere was good, so Eleven didnât disturb it, not mentioning a word about why she missed such an important selection match.
"I better not drink then, the consequences can be severe," Eleven blinked.
She thought it was best to simply not drink from the start to avoid not being able to stop, and really getting drunk...
The consequences would be quite severe for her too.
Who knows what excessive styles that mischievous man would choose!
"You canât be serious... Is your family that strict?" Song Jia teased as she raised an eyebrow.
"Yes, everything goes my way, except for drinking, I better be good."
"Ts ts ts... Are you flaunting that we donât have boyfriends? Showing off your affection! Does Mr. Gu know?"
"He knows!" Eleven laughed heartily, not hiding anything.
After some chit-chat, An Hao asked, "By the way, Qianxun, this Xu Weiyu... does she have some grudge against you? I noticed she seems to be targeting you."
"No grudge. How does my marriage to Gu Liancheng bother her? Itâs not my fault she canât marry a rich man, is it?" Eleven smiled, "It started when I was still hiding my identity. She saw me get into my husbandâs car and thought I was a kept woman, spreading rumors about me everywhere, smearing and badmouthing me. If you really think about it... I should be the one hating her, why should she hate me?"
"There are such people," Song Jia sipped her wine, "Severe sufferers of persecution complex! The kind who think theyâre right because they are weak."
"Bingo! Thatâs the type."
An Hao watched them joking and didnât say anything, took a drink, and seemed thoughtful.
It seemed that Xu Weiyu had encountered something because of Qianxun, and she herself was unaware.
"Qianxun, you should still be cautious," An Hao suggested, "Maybe you really offended her somewhere without realizing it."
"Have I offended her?" Eleven pondered, still unable to remember, "Does a war of words count? If she takes those things to heart and intends to do something to me... then I suppose I have quite a few enemies in this world."
"Exactly, itâs inevitable to have conflicts when people come together, by that logic, I have quite a few enemies too, haha."
