Chapter 157 Husband, you have to stay with me, you're not allowed to go to anyone else.

Qiao Siying glared at him and said in a firm tone, "What? I invited Rou Rou back. Can't I invite someone over as a guest?"

“If that’s the case, I’ll leave too, and leave this house for you to live in alone.”

Mo Anbang was taken aback. He still remembered how Yingying had ignored him for several days because of Chu Rou last time. This time, he had to hold back no matter what. He immediately changed his expression and said, "So it was you who invited us, Yingying. Guests are guests, please have a seat!"

Qiao Siying snorted coldly and turned away, ignoring Mo Anbang.

"Rou Rou, Qian Qian, please have a seat!"

Mo Anbang felt that staying any longer would be embarrassing, so he called Mo Yan and Mo Chi to the study to discuss official business.

Qiao Siying comforted Chu Rou, "Rou Rou, don't take it to heart. Xiao Chi's dad is an old-fashioned man. With me here, he wouldn't dare to do anything to you."

Chu Rou smiled and nodded, "I understand. What I care about most is your attitude. As for Chairman Mo, he won't affect my relationship with Mo Chi."

He'll agree sooner or later.

Qiao Siying got up and went to the kitchen for a walk.

Yuan Qian moved closer to Chu Rou and asked in a low voice, "Rou Rou, are you and Mo Chi already living together?"

Chu Rou hummed in agreement. "We've been together for half a year."

Yuan Qian leaned close to Chu Rou's ear and asked some embarrassing questions, then said shyly, "I don't know how to solve these problems, and I don't have any way to learn them."

Chu Rou smiled as she whispered in Yuan Qian's ear, answering her questions and making Yuan Qian blush.

"Don't feel embarrassed. That's your own man, not stolen. Do whatever you want with him."

Yuan Qian smiled and nodded, "If only I had met you sooner, no one has ever taught me these things."

The Yuan family's education for their daughters emphasized dignified manners. They were merely tools for family alliances through marriage, and the most important thing was to maintain a respectable image. No one cared about their lives after marriage; as long as they secured their position as the principal wife, that was enough.

Chu Rou's views shattered Yuan Qian's previous perspectives on marriage; deep down, she hoped to be loved and cherished by her husband.

The changes over the past two days made Yuan Qian realize that Mo Yan was not a cold, lifeless block of wood; he also had emotions and desires.

Tonight, she might try the method Chu Rou taught her again.

Qiao Siying returned and found it amusing to see Chu Rou and Yuan Qian whispering to each other.

What are you two researching?

Chu Rou chuckled, "Studying men."

Qiao Siying coughed and said, "Let's eat first, and then we can continue our research. The food is ready."

Qiao Siying asked the maid to go upstairs and call the three men down for dinner.

At the dinner table, Qiao Siying affectionately served food to Chu Rou and Yuan Qian, while Chu Rou completely ignored Mo Anbang's gaze, treating him as if he were invisible.

After dinner, since it was still early, Qiao Siying suggested going to the cinema to watch a movie.

Chu Rou and Yuan Qian thought it was pretty good; it was more convenient to talk and chat there.

Qiao Siying asked the maid to prepare fruit and snacks to send over. After thinking for a moment, she also asked someone to prepare some wine to send over.

Three women sat on an oversized leather sofa, with food and drinks laid out on the table in front of them, and an art film playing on a large screen. They looked quite relaxed.

There were only the three of them in the theater; Qiao Siying had chased all the servants out.

Chu Rou saw the red wine; she hadn't had any in a long time and was starting to crave it.

"How about we have some red wine?"

Qiao Siying has a pretty good alcohol tolerance, so she said, "Let's each have a drink."

Yuan Qian rarely drinks alcohol, and even when she does, she only takes a sip or two. She doesn't know her limit when it comes to drinking.

Chu Rou poured three glasses of wine and gave one to each person.

Chu Rou knew her alcohol tolerance, so she stopped drinking after finishing one glass; the feeling of being slightly tipsy was just right.

Qiao Siying only drank one cup.

After Yuan Qian finished one cup, she felt fine, so she poured herself another cup and drank three cups before she started to feel a little dizzy.

Leaning back on the sofa, Yuan Qian stared at the big screen with her eyes slightly narrowed, extremely quiet and well-behaved.

After watching a movie, Mo Yan and Mo Chi came looking for someone.

Seeing that it was indeed getting late, Qiao Siying let the person go back.

Chu Rou giggled and hugged Mo Chi, "Mo Bao, hug me!"

With Mo Yan and Yuan Qian still nearby, Mo Chi felt a little awkward. He put his arm around Chu Rou and asked in a low voice, "Have you been drinking?"

Chu Rou smiled and nodded, holding up one finger, "I only had one drink."

"Brother, sister-in-law, we'll be going now." Mo Chi half-supported Chu Rou as they left.

Yuan Qian's face was flushed. She felt the ground shaking and was a little unsteady. She reached out and grabbed Mo Yan's arm, asking in alarm, "Is it an earthquake? The ground is shaking."

Mo Yan glanced at her sideways. "You've been drinking too?"

Yuan Qian looked up and stared at the inkstone. It seemed as if there were two inkstones moving in front of her. She placed both hands on the inkstone's face and said, "Don't move. I'm getting dizzy."

Qiao Siying came out of the theater at this moment and saw that Yuan Qian and Mo Yan hadn't left yet. Yuan Qian was swaying back and forth and from side to side. She chuckled and said, "Xiao Yan, Qianqian drank three glasses of red wine. She looks like she's had too much to drink. Why don't you carry her back?"

Three glasses of red wine? That's something else.

Having no other choice, Mo Yan picked Yuan Qian up and carried her away.

Once in the car, Yuan Qian leaned against Mo Yan, holding onto his arm tightly without making a fuss, so Mo Yan let her lean on him.

On the way back, Mo Yan's phone rang.

He took out his phone and saw that it was Jinna's number. He hung up.

A few seconds later, Jinna called again, and Mo Yan frowned and hung up.

Yuan Qian kept her eyes open. She was close enough to see the caller ID on Mo Yan's phone, but she didn't say anything.

Jin Na called again, and Mo Yan answered, his tone impatient, "Hello? What is it?"

The voice that came from the other end of the phone wasn't Jin Na's, but a man's voice, "Is this Mo Yan? This is Chen Xiang. Jin Na has drunk too much and keeps calling your name. Do you want to come and pick her up?"

Chen Xiang was his and Jin Na's college classmate, but they had a casual relationship and rarely kept in touch. He didn't know how Jin Na got together with him.

Before Mo Yan could speak, Yuan Qian lifted her head from his shoulder, kissed his earlobe, and said in a soft voice, "Husband, you have to stay with me and you're not allowed to go find someone else."

Mo Yan's ears turned red instantly. He turned to look at Yuan Qian, whose big, watery eyes were staring at him. She looked as if she would burst into tears if he dared to leave.

Mo Yan licked his lips and said into his phone, "I have nothing to do with her, don't call me again."

Yuan Qian smiled and leaned on Mo Yan's shoulder again.

Mo Yan turned his body to the side, held Yuan Qian's head, and lowered his head to kiss her.

Yuan Qian closed her eyes and opened her lips in response to Mo Yan's gesture.
