As Gu Yilou entered the Western restaurant, he brushed past a middle-aged man.

After taking a few steps, Gu Wu lowered his voice and said, "Young Master, that man is Yu Zhenrong's cousin."

Yu Zhenrong's cousin only came to the capital city to develop his career this year.

Because Yu Zhenrong lost his son and was implicated by Fu Lin, Madam Yu handed over the Yu family company to her nephew from her maternal family, namely Yu Zhenrong's cousin Shen Zhenghao.

Although Shen Zhenghao has no other skills, he is good at talking and can make Old Madam Yu obedient and more attentive to her than to her own son.

The main reason was that Yu Zhenrong was devastated by the blows from Fu Lin and Yu Hao. He was completely depressed and spent his days in a daze. With no one taking care of the company, the Yu family really fell into ruin.

Madam Yu did not want to leave the capital in such a disgrace as Madam Xiao.

She would rather die in the imperial city.

So she invited her nephew from her maternal family to manage the Yu family company.

After Gu Wu explained the whole story...

Gu Yilou gave a faint "hmm," not taking it to heart, since they weren't on the same path or in the same circle, and they wouldn't see each other again.

Just then, they arrived at the door of the private room where Qin Yiheng was.

Gu Yilou knocked on the door.

At this moment, he never expected to see Shen Zhenghao and that young woman at Xiaobao's parent-teacher conference. He had assumed they were an older man and a younger woman, but who knew it was actually...

The door to the private room was two-thirds open, and Qin Yiheng leaned lazily against it, saying, "Why bother knocking? Just come in."

Gu Yilou's eyelids twitched, and he couldn't help but retort, "What if you're not feeling well inside? Wouldn't it be disturbing if I suddenly came in?"

Wow! She's even roasting him now.

Qin Yiheng raised an eyebrow in surprise, and instead of answering, asked, "Shouldn't I be asking you whether it's convenient for me or not?"

Gu Yilou: "..."

Forget it, I can't argue with him.

But glancing at the door blocked by him, Gu Yilou said helplessly, "If you don't move aside, how am I supposed to get in?"

Qin Yiheng raised his arm and said confidently, "Come in!"

Gu Yilou was speechless: "Are you serious?"

"You're not angry so soon, are you?" Qin Yiheng said, but he had already put his arm down, pulled the door open, and stepped back two steps to let him in.

Gu Yilou's lips twitched slightly; he didn't know what to say to him.

Qin Yiheng closed the door and returned to his original seat, saying, "I've already ordered the food; it should arrive soon."

Gu Yilou hummed in agreement, offering no objection.

They have similar tastes.

But when a rare steak was placed on his table, Gu Yilou was shocked.

He looked at Qin Yiheng incredulously: "You've changed your taste?"

Qin Yiheng smiled and said, "It's not bad to try it once in a while."

"I can't do it." Gu Yilou refused to try.

Some things are worth trying, but some things don't need to be forced. He thinks that medium-rare is just right.

Qin Yiheng seemed to have been waiting for this question, deliberately misinterpreting his words and asking in astonishment, "Brother Lou, you're not good enough?"

"..."

Gu Yilou's handsome face instantly darkened.

Although he has a good temper, when it comes to a man's dignity, he will not yield an inch.

"Should I leave?" He made a move to get up and leave.

"No!" Qin Yiheng quickly reached out to stop him, saying, "I was just kidding, I was wrong, okay?"

"If you like it, then eat this as well."

Gu Yilou pushed his steak towards him, then opened the menu on the table and ordered again.

"Cough cough cough..."

Qin Yiheng said that this love was too heavy for him to bear!

"Brother Lou, I was really just joking, please let me go." He clasped his hands together and bowed to him.

Gu Yilou's lips twitched twice.

He ignored Qin Yiheng's sudden antics and quickly ordered two side dishes, two main dishes, and a clear soup.

Qin Yiheng asked, "Aren't you drinking?"

Gu Yilou looked at him and shook his head: "I've said it before, I won't drink anymore."

"Then I'll drink it all by myself." Qin Yiheng ordered a bottle of whiskey.

Anyway, this Western restaurant will reseal any unfinished wine that customers drink and save it for their next visit.

That way he can come with Brother Lou a few more times.

He wanted to drink, and Gu Yilou did not stop him.

About twenty minutes later, the waiter pushed the food cart in.

"Really not going to order anything?"

As Qin Yiheng poured himself a drink, he raised an eyebrow at Gu Yilou.

He was quite eager to see Lou Ge drunk.

Gu Yilou frowned: "I won't drink."

Drinking alone is no fun, so Qin Yiheng only drank two cups before stopping.

Seeing this, Gu Yilou's furrowed brows relaxed slightly, and he asked, "Did you talk with Xiao Jingming for a long time today?"

Qin Yiheng rubbed his forehead, looking at him with a deep gaze: "Brother Lou, when we eat alone, let's not talk about this person, shall we? It's bad luck."

Gu Yilou: "..."

So tonight is just a simple meal?

If that's the case, he should pick up Xiaobao; he hasn't had a meal with his son for several days.

"Aheng, the parent-teacher meeting is over, and I'm planning to take Xiaobao out for dinner. Do you want to come along?" Gu Yilou asked.

Qin Yiheng raised an eyebrow: "I'm free anytime, just remember to call me."

After the two had eaten and drunk their fill, they prepared to go back.

Gu Yilou had just gotten up when he heard Qin Yiheng, half-lying on the sofa, feigning pitifulness: "Oh dear, I can't take it anymore, I've had too much to drink, my head is a little dizzy, I need someone to help me get up."

He can actually say something like that? He's really something!

Gu Yilou looked at him quietly.

Qin Yiheng, under his gaze, had no choice but to stand up as if to put on an act, but he staggered after only a few steps.
