But Gu Yilou actually used the word 'affection' on him?

"We only see each other twice a year, what's the harm in that?"

Qin Yiheng's tone was somewhat mocking as he ripped off Qin Yiheng's trench coat with a wave of his hand.

Gu Yilou's disheveled appearance was exposed to the air.

The underground parking garage was a bit cool, and Gu Yilou felt a bit more awake from the cold, so he quickly buttoned up his shirt.

“Aheng…”

Before he could finish speaking, Qin Yiheng coldly interrupted him: "Look at you now. If I had arrived a moment later, would you have been marrying that woman tomorrow?"

Gu Yilou was stunned and frowned, asking, "What woman?"

"Heh, you're afraid of hurting your relationships with these people, but why aren't you afraid of hurting your relationship with me?"

Qin Yiheng smiled, but the smile didn't reach his eyes: "Or do you think that no matter what you do, I won't leave? That's why you're so confident?"

"..."

Gu Yilou was stunned.

He hadn't thought that way.

Qin Yiheng suddenly grabbed his hand and strode towards the car.

Gu Yilou was being dragged along, and he wanted to call out to him to stop.

“Aheng…”

"Shut up!"

Qin Yiheng didn't want to hear anything he said.

After a moment of surprise, Gu Yilou sighed helplessly, letting him put him into the car before driving away.

He saw Gu Wu and Qin Buyu standing there, and wanted to say that they hadn't gotten in the car yet, but was worried about angering Aheng. While he hesitated, the car had already driven out of the underground parking lot.

Gu Wu and Qin Buyu stood side by side, watching the car disappear before their eyes like two complete idiots.

"Young Master and Master Heng just left like that?"

"Otherwise what? Are you going to come back and get us?"

"..."

The two resignedly walked towards the parking lot exit.

The car sped along the road like lightning. Gu Yilou wasn't used to this speed. He closed his eyes, and when he opened them again, he still felt dizzy and nauseous.

Gu Yilou covered his mouth.

Qin Yiheng suddenly slammed on the brakes. The moment the car stopped on the side of the road, Gu Yilou quickly opened the car door, got out, and vomited violently.

Seeing this, Qin Yiheng could only say, "Serves him right."

But less than a minute later, he got out of the car with a bottle of mineral water, unscrewed the cap, and handed it to Gu Yilou.

After vomiting, Gu Yilou rinsed his mouth with water and felt much better.

Just then, a cold wind blew by, and he was fully awake.

Gu Yilou looked at Qin Yiheng, who was leaning against the car door with his arms crossed, and asked with concern, "Aheng, is everything going smoothly?"

"He's not dead." Qin Yiheng said succinctly.

Gu Yilou remained silent for a moment.

"Thank you for your hard work." He looked at Qin Yiheng sincerely, but he seemed unaccustomed to Aheng's cold face. After a moment, he lowered his eyelids and said, "Let's go back first."

Qin Yiheng stood still, a slight smirk playing on his lips: "You think you can just dismiss me with three words?"

Gu Yilou didn't know how to respond.

The next second, Qin Yiheng said quietly, "Forget it, it was my fault that you were kidnapped. I was just dealing with my own private matters, it has nothing to do with you, and I don't need your thanks."

He walked around to the other side of the car, got into the driver's seat, and waited for Gu Yilou to get in before driving on the road at a normal speed.

Gu Yilou frowned, turned his head to look at him, and said seriously, "Aheng, if we're going to calculate it this way, then from the very beginning it was I who touched someone else's interests, which caused you to be targeted by Su Fei and relentlessly harassed by her. So you should blame me; I'm the one who dragged you into this."

Qin Yiheng scoffed coolly, "What's it to you? Too charming? You're a divorced old man with a son, and women still throw themselves at you?"

Gu Yilou: "..."

After regaining his senses, Gu Yilou remembered what had happened at the Purple Gold Pavilion. If Aheng hadn't returned and hadn't looked for him, then the consequences...

He did retain a sliver of reason while he sat there.

The cocktail he mixed was too strong, and he also had some kind of food given to him by some woman, which made him increasingly confused.

"This is a one-time exception. I won't drink anymore," Gu Yilou promised.

However, Qin Yiheng did not intend to let him turn the page with just a few words. After all, how easy is it to get back an opportunity that has been lost?

"Not drinking anymore? I was planning to go back and have a couple of drinks with you to celebrate that I came back alive. Looks like I was overthinking it again."

Qin Yiheng's strategy of retreating to advance was somewhat self-deprecating.

Although Gu Yilou was sober, he did not discern the rhetoric behind the man's words, nor did he expect that the man would set a trap for him. He instinctively said, "Then I'll have a couple of drinks with you tonight, and I won't touch a drop of alcohol starting tomorrow."

"You can still drink?" A glint of light flashed in Qin Yiheng's narrowed eyes.

Gu Yilou smiled and said, "It's good to celebrate your safe return."

Qin Yiheng couldn't help but turn his head to look at him, and when he saw the smile on his lips, the gloom in his heart immediately dissipated.

After returning to the villa.

Qin Yiheng parked the car directly in front of the villa's steps.

He then quickly got out of the car, walked around to Gu Yilou's side, and stretched out an arm: "Free service, no money required."

Gu Yilou couldn't help but chuckle: "No need, I can walk."

Qin Yiheng raised an eyebrow. Why is he always smiling?

The two walked in one after the other. Qin Yiheng saw him heading towards the living room and said, "Let's go to the study. I have a bottle of wine that I've treasured for many years in the study."

Gu Yilou stopped and asked, "Are you hungry? Would you like me to cook you some noodles?"

"No need, I'll have Qin Buyu bring some takeout back." With that, Qin Yiheng took out his phone and called Qin Buyu.

After finishing the call, Qin Buyu said: "I really will thank you."
