Chapter 159 Qing Shi gets drunk again

Fearing that she could not provide enough nutrition for her child, Duan Lingling could only force herself to eat like other pregnant women. However, she would vomit after eating. For this, Duan Gang and Duan Renjie often gave her the cold shoulder and scolded her, saying that she was wasting food and affecting their appetite and mood.

She was in so much pain, but they seemed unable to see it. The once good father and brother turned into an abominable person in the blink of an eye. They didn't feel sorry for her at all, but only despised her for not doing well.

Not only did she face pressure from home, she also faced pressure from the outside world. Occasionally, she wanted to go out for a walk to relieve her morning sickness, but as soon as she went out, she would be scolded and chased by children and have stones thrown at her. Everyone's spit and insults made it impossible for her to go out. She was doomed to die at home, torturing each other with Bai Zhen every day.

Duan Lingling suddenly felt that the life she was living was similar to that in the detention center, as if she was just being imprisoned in a different place.

It seemed that she escaped from prison and gained her freedom, but in fact, she was imprisoned at home, forced to work and suffer insults. Her life was almost the same as that in the detention center. No, it was even harder than that in the detention center.

At least there weren't so many people in the detention center scolding her at any time, and she didn't have to be busy all day long. Duan Lingling felt like she was about to collapse, but she didn't dare to really go back to jail.

In this way, after a period of time, Duan Lingling's condition became worse and worse. In addition to the early pregnancy reactions, she also had symptoms such as headaches, blurred vision, and upper abdominal pain. She was worried every day because of the fear of miscarriage, and she was exhausted both physically and mentally and on the verge of collapse.

Knowing how Duan Lingling lived, Gu Qingshi's mood finally improved, and Shen Muqi was finally able to leave with peace of mind.

He should have left earlier, but because of what happened to Bai Xue, he stayed to help, and now he can't delay any longer.

Due to the special circumstances this time, we couldn't hold a small farewell party for Shen Muqi like before, so only Gu Qingshi saw Shen Muqi off.

Whether it was Gu Qingshi or Shen Muqi, they would inevitably be busy again when they returned to Gu's Kitchen, so they simply did not go to Gu's Kitchen and directly found a restaurant to eat.

They were all old acquaintances in the catering industry, and the boss also knew Gu Qingshi. He was quite surprised to see her coming, and he entertained her with all his might, even bringing her a bottle of bayberry wine.

"This is our homemade bayberry wine, and it's also our signature drink. Men, women, old and young all like to drink it. Many young girls even come here to buy it. Boss Gu, you should try it too."

Gu Qingshi refused reflexively when he heard about the wine, but Shen Muqi had already taken it curiously, "Then I have to try it."

After taking a sip, Shen Muqi's eyes lit up, and he poured a cup for Gu Qingshi, "Sister, you should drink some too, it's sour and sweet and delicious."

Gu Qingshi couldn't drink much, so he quickly shook his head and refused, "I can't drink much, I won't drink anymore, you drink it."

The boss wanted Gu Qingshi to try their signature dish, so he advised, "Boss Gu, don't worry, this isn't even considered alcohol. It's only 7 or 8 degrees, which is about the same as a drink."

Gu Qingshi has been in a bad mood and under a lot of pressure recently. Seeing the boss's sincere look and the beautiful color of the bayberry wine, he was tempted. "Then I'd better obey your order and try the boss's signature dish."

After tasting it carefully, Gu Qingshi nodded, "This bayberry wine is really delicious, sour and sweet, with a moderate sweetness and sourness, and no smell of alcohol, it tastes good."

"I told you it tastes good. Boss Gu, take your time drinking it. There's more left when you finish it." The boss then left contentedly.

Not only was the wine delicious, the boss's dishes also had a unique flavor. Gu Qingshi and Shen Muqi talked while eating and drank two glasses without realizing it.

When he felt the familiar dizziness again, Gu Qingshi realized something was wrong, "No, am I drunk again?"

"Haha, sister, what are you thinking about? Didn't the boss say that this isn't alcohol? How can you get drunk? But sister, why are you moving all the time? You've even become two of us."

Shen Muqi laughed, feeling a little good and a little bad at the same time, and the words hidden in his heart came out unconsciously.

"Sister, you must take good care of yourself when I leave. The most important thing is not to be deceived by Lu Yuan. You wait for me. You don't have to wait too long. I will marry you when I am successful."

Shen Muqi’s mouth was covered, and all the words that followed turned into whimpers.

Gu Qingshi realized it belatedly and looked up, his eyes lit up, "Lu Yuan, why are you here!"

“If I don’t come, I don’t know what you two drunkards will do.” Lu Yuan dragged Shen Muqi to the side, wiped his hands with some disgust, and then caught Gu Qingshi.

"I told you before not to drink, why didn't you listen? And you even drank with a man. You really are..." Lu Yuan couldn't help but tap Gu Qingshi's forehead.

Shen Muqi, who was not far away, saw Lu Yuan, his eyes widened and he staggered towards him, yelling.

"Lu Yuan, let your sister go!"

Lu Yuan was impatient, but fortunately Fang Wen parked the car and came in, holding Shen Muqi, "What's wrong with them? Why are they suddenly drunk?"

The boss came out of the kitchen, wiping his sweat, and explained, "This is fruit wine. Normally, children and girls won't get drunk after drinking two glasses. I didn't expect them to get drunk."

The boss was really surprised. He had heard many people being modest when saying they couldn't drink much, but even if it was true, it shouldn't be this bad. Both of them got drunk just by drinking such a small amount of bayberry wine.

The boss was speechless and helpless, and felt a little guilty, but Chen Muqi was still yelling beside him, "Lu Yuan, I want to duel with you, I want you to snatch my sister from me!"

Fang Wen had no choice but to hold Shen Muqi and cover his mouth, "Just shut up!"

Lu Yuan sighed helplessly and did not hold the boss responsible. The boss was just unlucky to have run into these two people who couldn't drink.

After paying the money, Lu Yuan glanced at Gu Qingshi, then bent down and picked her up.

Gu Qingshi was still a little clear-headed, and he tightly wrapped his arms around Lu Yuan's neck, "Princess hug, this is a princess hug!"

Fang Wen stuffed Shen Muqi into the back seat, and Lu Yuan put Gu Qingshi in the front passenger seat, fastened her seat belt, and said to Fang Wen, "I'll drive."

Fang Wen was holding Shen Muqi in the back seat, and he was a little hesitant after hearing this, "Boss, this won't work, right? What if she picks you up like before?" He was deeply impressed by what happened before.

Lu Yuan paused, "Probably not, it's okay."

Fang Wen didn't believe it. How could Fang Wen drive safely while being held by Gu Qingshi? Forget it.

"Boss, why don't you let Boss Xiao Gu come to the back as well? I'll take care of them together. This way it'll be safer."

Lu Yuan glanced at Shen Muqi and said, “No.”

Shen Muqi was drunk and kept calling her sister. Letting Gu Qingshi sit in the back seat was like sending him into a tiger's mouth. He would rather let Gu Qingshi pull him than let Shen Muqi pull Gu Qingshi.

"Qingshi, be good, I'll take you home, okay?" Lu Yuan bent down and asked Gu Qingshi to look at him, and discussed with her in a gentle voice. Fang Wen in the back seat was afraid that Shen Muqi would disturb them, so he quickly covered Shen Muqi's mouth.

Gu Qingshi blinked and said, "Okay, I'll be good."

Lu Yuan was about to leave, but Gu Qingshi grabbed his hand.
