"Let's go chat!" Who says going to a bar means you have to drink?
"What about me? You promised me last night that you'd spend the whole day with me today."
"Wait for me at home?" "Huh? When did I say that?"
"You promised me when you held me last night." "I understand, I'm not your first choice, you always abandon me..."
She probably agreed to it in bed again; she's a tyrannical woman. Qiu Hu pondered, "Then you come with me and wait for me on the side. Or you can ask your brother to come and keep you company?"
"I have a wife, why would I need to find brothers? I just want to be with you!"
"Then come with me!"
Ning Yizhan was about to continue speaking when the doorbell rang. He went out to open the door and saw that it was takeout ordered by Qiu Hu. Qiu Hu followed him out.
"Let's eat, I'm hungry." Qiu Hu took the food from his hand. "After we eat, we'll go out together! When we get back, all my time is yours."
"You always do this." Ning Yizhan didn't say anything more, letting her be.
After finishing his meal, Qiu Hu returned to his room and began putting on makeup to prepare for going out. Ning Yizhan, unusually, invited his brothers out, "Let's go out tonight and have a get-together?"
"Okay"; "That's rare."
An hour later, Qiu Hu walked out of the room, wearing a sleeveless black dress, but her black hair was tied up.
Hearing the commotion, Ning Yizhan looked up from his seat in the living room, inwardly screaming "Oh no!" His hair was tied up, so he went over to untie it.
"The dress is really pretty, but the hair is a problem."
What's wrong with your hair?
"It looks better when it's taken off."
"I don't like it," Qiu Hu's intuition told him. He sensed something was off about Ning Yizhan, and men's judgment was never reliable. "Have you gone out yet?"
"Let's go," Qiu Hu said as he turned around and saw the hickeys on her back. They were very obvious and completely uncovered. He took a step forward and caught up with her. He pulled her hair down with his large hand, covering the marks from last night.
Qiu Hu touched his hair, turned around, and glared at Ning Yizhan. "What?"
Ning Yizhan said with a smile in his eyes, "It looks absolutely beautiful like this!"
Ning Yizhan tried to hug her, but she pushed him away, saying, "Let's go!"
Ning Yizhan brought Qiu Hu to the Dream Bar and escorted her to the door of private room 512. "I'm in room 527 next door. I've arranged to meet Shao Jin and the others. Let me know when you're done or come find me. If you need anything, come find me."
"Okay!" Qiu Hu urged him to leave; she was already almost half an hour late.
Ning Yizhan watched her go inside before heading to private room 527. He opened the door, and the Shao brothers had already ordered drinks. He went out and sat down, neither drinking nor smoking, just sitting there.
Shao Jin poured him a glass of wine. "Here, have a drink."
"I won't drink anymore, I've given it up."
"What did you say? You quit?" Shao Jin seemed to have heard the biggest joke in the world. He thought of Ning Yizhan's cabinet full of fine wines, and he said he had quit.
Shao Jin didn't believe this, but Shao Ling did. Everyone present knew about Ning Yijia's alcohol allergy after she was hospitalized last time. But Shao Ling also loved to drink, and Ning Yizhan's wine needed a good place to go. "Then send me some of your wine," he said.
"Dream on." Even though he doesn't drink, please don't covet his wine.
"How about we play cards? Three people is just right," Shao Jin suggested. We can't just chat all the time without drinking; what's there to talk about with three grown men?
"I won't fight." He was too preoccupied with Qiu Hu to continue the fight.
"Then what are you doing at the bar? Just sitting there?" Shao Jin asked, puzzled.
"Wait for Qiu Hu, otherwise why do you think I invited you out?"
"You really are something else. Do you know what you look like right now? Like a tyrant. I went to your company to find you today, but Zhou Jue said you didn't go to work. I don't need to think to know what you were doing. Weren't you with women?" Shao Jin couldn't help but complain about his good brother of more than 20 years.
He quite liked the title "tyrant," even though it wasn't entirely accurate.
"Are brothers and work more important than a wife?"
"..."
The Shao brothers fell silent. They looked at each other, shook their heads, picked up their glasses, clinked them together, and drank them down.
They continued drinking, while Ning Yizhan lay on the sofa, waiting for Qiu Hu, occasionally responding with a few words from the Shao brothers.
On the same floor, private room 512.
Ah Yi has sharp ears and heard the door open. "Oh, my young lady is here. You're so late, you're half an hour late."
Besides A-Yi, Qiu Lan and Shu Zi were also there. Qiu Lan had never met Shu Zi before, but they got along very well after meeting. She had specifically asked Xiang Gexuan if he wanted to come, but he wasn't in the mood.
Before Qiu Hu could speak, Qiu Lan came to her rescue, saying, "It's good that you're here. You kept asking about it, and now that you're here, you're talking about my sister." Qiu Lan hadn't been seen for a while either. She had taken on a new drama and was currently filming on location. She had just returned this morning and would be going back in a couple of days.
"You're all here? I didn't mean to be late." Qiu Hu knew she was late and had kept them waiting for a long time. She sat down between A Yi and Qiu Lan, afraid that the two would fight.
Shuzi, sitting next to him, said, "Ah Hu, we've already started chatting and we're halfway through!"
"Where are we now? I'm ready to join anytime."
Ayi started half-jokingly, "We've been talking about how long you haven't been home. Tell me what's going on?"
“Ayi, you’re not being kind at all now.” Qiu Hu began to evade the topic.
"...Don't make excuses, Miss, you weren't like this before."
"Okay, I've received your feedback. Let's move on to the next topic."
Ayi was disheartened; her young lady had changed. She sighed and began to lean back, as if she saw something on Qiu Hu's back.
The view from inside the private room was dim and a little blurry. She turned on her phone's flashlight and looked ahead. "What is this? A hickey? Could it be..." Oh my god, her mistress had been eaten by that bastard.
The two people around her were looking at her. Shuzi noticed it immediately, raised an eyebrow and smiled at her, "That's right. I didn't realize, Ah Hu, you two are so affectionate!"
"..." She herself didn't know, "Ah, that can't be."
The sleeveless dress couldn't hide the marks on her back; she could see them clearly and they were quite noticeable. Sure enough! No wonder Ning Yizhan insisted that she not tie her hair up when she went out today—it was because of this! Her hair could completely cover them up if it was down.
That was the truth, and she could only accept it. She was a little embarrassed, but she still lied without batting an eye, "It was an accident! We didn't do anything."
The other three: ...Do you think we're easy to fool?
"So what are we here to talk about today? Stop chasing me around and get down to business." Qiu Hu felt that their eyes had been on her ever since she entered the room. She just wanted to leave her alone!
Qiu Hu's words brought the serious matter of the evening back to the present.
Ayi replied, "Oh, it's like this..."
