In her past life, her family was destroyed and she died tragiously on the open sea.
Reborn in a new life, what bad intentions could Shangguan Wu possibly have? She simply wants to take reveng...
Qin Yichen looked at her and retorted without any politeness, "I booked a private room, why can't I use it here? As for you, what are you doing here?"
The woman who was rebuked thought to herself: Young Master Qin has no gentlemanly manners at all!
But she was just a daughter of a small family, so she still had to smile and ask him, "Young Master Qin, our Jiu Jiu is here to see Young Master Gu. Could you let us in?"
"Let you in?"
Did Qin Yichen let a woman who liked Gu Si into the private room because he was afraid of making his life too comfortable?
Go find somewhere cool to stay!
Bang!
Qin Yichen closed the door to the private room.
The smile on Li Mujiu's face outside the door froze, her eyes filled with anger.
"Jiujiu, what do we do now?"
Li Mujiu tried to push the door open, but it was locked from the inside.
"I'll go find the manager; he definitely wouldn't dare offend my brother-in-law!"
She turned and left.
Inside the private room, Shangguan Wu saw Qin Yichen lock the door and asked in surprise, "Was that necessary?"
“She can break in if the door isn’t locked.” Qin Yichen frowned, then suddenly stopped and changed the subject: “But if you want to see your rival, I can go out and call her in.”
Shangguan Wu's lips twitched slightly: "There's no need for that."
Although her husband wouldn't even give them a second glance, she didn't want to hear other women confessing their love to him; she didn't want to hear a single word.
Qin Yichen smiled and returned to his booth.
But Gu Yunzhen suddenly spoke up: "Let them come in if they want to."
Qin Yichen exclaimed "Holy crap!" and picked at his ear: "What did you just say? It's a bit windy, I didn't hear you clearly."
Shangguan Wu also looked at Gu Yunzhen in shock.
Gu Yunzhen's handsome face remained calm as he looked at Qin San: "Why aren't you leaving yet?"
Qin Yichen was speechless with astonishment.
After a long pause, he finally found a voice and asked, "No way, you really want to let Li Mujiu in?"
Gu Yunzhen's voice was cold: "I'm not joking with you."
Qin Yichen immediately frowned.
He and Gu Si are good brothers, but he is also Shangguan Wu's cousin.
"Little cousin, what do you say?"
What did Shangguan Wu say?
She glanced at the man beside her. Under the light, his expression was unreadable, making it impossible to discern his true thoughts.
But she trusted him before, and she will trust him now.
But there was still a hint of sourness in her voice: "If he wants to see pretty girls, just let him!"
Qin Yichen raised his hand to cover half of his face and winked at Gu Yunzhen: You're jealous before you've even met. How are you going to handle this?
A glint of light flashed in Gu Yunzhen's deep eyes as he looked at her with interest: "Is Madam jealous?"
Shangguan Wu snorted lightly and said in a nonchalant tone, "Eat, when I eat shrimp, I dip it in vinegar to ward off the cold."
Gu Yunzhen looked at her: "You!"
He spoke those two words with a mixture of helplessness and affection.
"..."
Qin Yichen watched as they stared at each other, seemingly oblivious to the presence of anyone else. Suddenly, he shrugged, thinking to himself that if he were ever asked to have dinner with this couple again, he would never come, no matter what!
He stood up and walked towards the door.
But before he could open the door, it had already been opened from the outside.
Li Mujiu walked into the private room triumphantly.
Seeing her bring two people in, Qin Yichen narrowed his eyes unhappily. It was one thing for him to let them in, but it was another for them to barge in on their own initiative.
Qin Yichen stopped them: "Did you get the keys from the manager?"
"Yes, as soon as the manager heard Jiu Jiu call Xiao Da Shao 'brother-in-law,' he gave her the key to the private room."
"Young Master Qin, please move aside."
Before Li Mujiu could speak, her two best friends started singing in unison.
Qin Yichen sneered: "Xiao Jingming has become a local tyrant in the capital so quickly? Just hearing his name makes the manager abandon all business rules?"
"Don't talk nonsense!"
Li Mujiu glared at him, but then, remembering that Gu Yunzhen was also there, she spoke softly, "My brother-in-law isn't like that. The restaurant was full of customers, so I told the manager that the person I liked was in a private room and asked him to give me the key. That's how I got it."
Li Mujiu thought she had explained everything, so she walked past him and headed for the booth.
Her eyes were glued to Gu Yunzhen, and she asked in a sweet voice, "Fourth Young Master, there are no seats outside. May I sit here and have dinner with you?"
Shangguan Wu's eye twitched. This level?
If this can also seduce Gu Yunzhen, then I'll change the name of Shangguan Wu backwards!
Just then, a waiter from the restaurant pushed a cart in.
Soon, the table was filled with the restaurant's signature dishes.
Please enjoy your meal.
The waiter left the private room.
"Fourth Young Master, I..."
Before Li Mujiu could speak, Gu Yunzhen interrupted her, "Sit down."
She thought he would refuse again, but to her surprise, he agreed. Li Mujiu looked at him with delight.
Her best friend led her to a booth, which was opposite Gu Yunzhen and Shangguan Wu, the place where Qin Yichen used to sit.
Qin Yichen angrily slammed his fist on the table: "Where am I supposed to sit?"
Gu Yunzhen glanced at him, then turned her head, her gaze falling on Shangguan Wu's face, her deep voice as gentle as water: "Wife, let's move in a little."
Before he finished speaking, he wrapped his arms around Shangguan Wu and moved to the innermost part of the booth, making room for Qin Yichen for almost half of the space, while the couple sat close together intimately.
Shangguan Wu's expression froze slightly.
After Qin Yichen sat down, he rolled his eyes at the ceiling.
Seeing the man she liked so intimately with another woman, Li Mujiu almost bit her lip until it bled!
Her two girlfriends almost turned into screaming chickens as they listened to the Fourth Young Master's deep voice and looked into his affectionate eyes. They thought to themselves that no wonder Jiu Jiu was so infatuated with the Fourth Young Master. If the woman in the Fourth Young Master's arms were them, they would also be completely infatuated!
Gu Yunzhen seemed oblivious to their gazes, picked up a large shrimp, peeled off the shell, dipped it in vinegar, and brought it to Shangguan Wu's lips.
Looking at the stunned Shangguan Wu, he smiled at her and said, "Open your mouth, wife."
Shangguan Wu opened his mouth and ate the shrimp he had peeled.
She thought he would just peel the shrimp, put them in a bowl, and then hand them to her, just like last time.
To her utter surprise, he even put it in her mouth.
That's why she was a little confused.
Soon, a second large shrimp was fed over.
Gu Yunzhen said in a low voice, "I told you, I won't let you lift a finger when I take you out today, so tell me what you want to eat, and I'll feed you. But..."
Shangguan Wu raised an eyebrow: "But what?"
Gu Yunzhen coughed lightly twice, his deep, magnetic voice escaping his thin lips: "After we finish eating, you have to accept my marriage proposal, okay?"
Li Mujiu and the other two: "..." Does Fourth Young Master Gu still have to propose in a humble manner?
Qin Yichen: "..." Gu Si is such a dog!
Shangguan Wu blinked, then suddenly had a flash of inspiration and played along with his act: "You think you can get me to accept your marriage proposal by just feeding me a meal?"
