"What do you two want from me?" Lin Que asked irritably.
Ever since his brother got a wife, he's become increasingly outrageous. Every few days, he throws tons and tons of PDA at them, these poor single guys. Before, Qin Yu was there to share some of the burden, but today, he invited him all by himself.
Gu Yibei gave him a disdainful look: "My wife doesn't just invite people to dinner. You should feel honored."
What's with that long face?
Lin Que: "!!!" I knew it! Here comes the first wave of PDA!
Once everyone had arrived, all the dishes Ji Zhinan had ordered were served, filling the entire table—a truly sumptuous feast.
Ji Zhinan smiled slightly: "I invited you here today specifically to thank you."
Lin Que turned his gaze away from the table full of delicious food, wiped his drool, and asked, "What did you thank me for?"
His mind raced, trying to think of what he had done to help Ji Zhinan. Suddenly, a possibility flashed through his mind, and his eyes widened, causing him to explode with excitement.
"Damn it, you're not going to make me sign another unfair endorsement contract, are you? I refuse!!!"
Lin Que still hasn't forgotten how Ji Zhinan approached him to do advertising. The endorsement fee dropped from 80 million to 250 yuan at the beginning—that's a huge difference!
Luckily, he was young and strong and didn't have heart disease, myocardial infarction, or high blood pressure, otherwise he would have died on the spot long ago.
Lin Que was about to leave, cursing, but Bai Chuan had already locked the door to the private room from the outside.
Lin Que: "..."
After struggling to open the door for a long time without success, Lin Que lost his temper and resigned himself to returning to his seat.
The Gu couple watched him struggle alone without stopping him. When Lin Que sat back down, Gu Yibei slowly poured a glass of red wine, placed it on the turntable, and then turned it to face Lin Que.
"Finished struggling? Then sit quietly and wait for my wife to speak."
"!!!" It hasn't been long, and the second wave of dog food has already arrived!
There was no escaping it, no hiding it. Lin Que picked up the red wine and downed it in one gulp, then picked up his chopsticks and ate heartily.
"Go ahead and say it, I'm listening."
As he spoke, he stuffed another large mouthful of food into his mouth.
I'd better get myself all drunk now so that I won't be heartbroken when I have to sign an unfair contract later.
Gu Yibei poured Ji Zhinan a cup of hot water. Holding the cup, Ji Zhinan raised it to Lin Que.
"Anyway, thank you for taking Xiaofei back yesterday."
"What the hell?" With his mouth still stuffed full, Lin Que looked completely bewildered.
Ji Zhinan smiled politely: "Yesterday, Xiaofei went to discuss cooperation, but the other party, President Luo, had ill intentions and deliberately tried to get Xiaofei drunk. It's all thanks to you; otherwise, that girl would have suffered a loss on her own."
Lin Que had just swallowed what was in his mouth and really wanted to drink some wine to clear his throat when he suddenly heard Ji Zhinan's words, and he choked on his own.
"Cough, cough..."
Lin Que quickly grabbed a few tissues.
No wonder she was drunk when I saw her yesterday...
As if unaware of his odd behavior, Ji Zhinan smiled and continued, "Uncle Xing has always been very good to me, and Xiao Fei is like a best friend and a sister to me. It's only right that I thank you."
...
After dinner, Lin Que went back, while Ji Zhinan and Gu Yibei drove home.
The man was steering with one hand, and even while driving, he was still paying some attention to the side of the road.
