"Brother Lou, this wine has a strong aftereffect; I'm really a bit dizzy."
"You knew it would have a strong aftereffect, yet you still drank it?"
Gu Yilou helplessly grabbed his arm and helped him stand up, but Qin Yiheng, a grown man, leaned against him as if he had no bones.
Just then, the door to the private room was suddenly pushed open.
A young woman walked in and, seeing the two strange men behaving intimately in the private room, she was clearly taken aback. Then she apologized, "I'm sorry, I came to the wrong room."
Qin Yiheng suddenly stood up straight, his sharp gaze fixed on the woman, and said in a deep voice, "Get out!"
The young woman turned pale with fright at his dark expression: "Ah? Oh, okay."
As she spoke, she left the private room, closing the door behind her.
Gu Yilou seemed to be deep in thought.
He had seen this woman downstairs before.
Qin Yiheng observed his expression, a hint of annoyance flashing in his eyes. He should have had Qin Buyan and the others guard the door.
After they finish eating, it's not too much to ask them to pack some food to take home and eat, is it?
Qin Yiheng coughed twice: "Should I go and pay them hush money?"
Gu Yilou snapped out of his daze, his eyes filled with confusion: "Why do we need to pay hush money?"
"Tell her not to talk nonsense." Qin Yiheng felt that he was probably not ready to go public yet.
To everyone's surprise, Gu Yilou shook his head: "There's no need."
In an instant, a glint of light flashed in Qin Yiheng's eyes, and his low, husky voice carried a hint of lust: "Brother Lou."
Gu Yilou's breath hitched.
He then looked down at his phone, avoiding his gaze, and explained, "What I mean is, the chances of us running into her again are very small..."
Qin Yiheng interrupted him: "Don't explain, explaining is just covering up."
Gu Yilou: "..."
He lifted his foot and walked towards the door.
Qin Yiheng watched his retreating figure, a smile playing on his lips, and strode after him.
The two took the elevator together to the parking lot.
Once in the car, Qin Yiheng leaned back lazily and turned to look at Gu Yilou: "Brother Lou, we need to finish this wine soon, let's meet again tomorrow."
"It's just a bottle of wine, why are you making such a fuss? I've quit drinking, and I still have some treasured wines at home. You can take them all if you want."
Gu Yilou meant that he didn't need to think about coming to drink every day, but then he suddenly changed the subject and advised, "However, drinking too much alcohol is bad for your health, so you should drink less too."
Qin Yiheng: "..."
Damn it! I didn't want to drink, I wanted to have dinner with you!
"I say one sentence and you reply with so many? Don't you know my alcohol tolerance? When have you ever seen me drunk outside?"
To this, Gu Yilou simply said, "Fine, then I won't say anything more."
Qin Yiheng was taken aback by his words.
"Fine, just tell me, I have masochistic tendencies."
"..."
Gu Yilou remained silent.
We returned to the villa just after eight o'clock.
Gu Yilou took out his phone, intending to video chat with his son, but unexpectedly, his mother answered the phone.
Ji Moyan turned the camera to her two grandsons and said to her son, "Xiao Bao is playing with Lego with Xiao Tianyou. He said he'll video chat with you tomorrow."
"Daddy, you go ahead and do your work. I'll come find you tomorrow."
Gu Xiaobao looked up and then handed a building block to his younger brother.
Gu Yilou: "..."
Ji Moyan walked out of the toy room and looked at her eldest son in the camera lens, asking, "Why are you all alone? Where's Aheng?"
“Auntie, I’m here.” Qin Yiheng stretched out a hand into the frame.
Ji Moyan smiled: "Aheng, I'm entrusting my Alou to you."
Gu Yilou's expression stiffened.
He sensed a mother-in-law meeting her son-in-law.
Qin Yiheng naturally understood as well, and smiled smugly at him from off-camera.
Immediately, he put his hand on Gu Yilou's shoulder, and the two appeared on the screen together. Qin Yiheng looked at the camera and said, "Don't worry, Auntie, with me here, he will definitely eat well, sleep well, and be full of energy."
Seeing him spouting nonsense, Gu Yilou's lips twitched. He turned around, leaving only himself in the camera's view.
But his mother's excited voice still pierced through.
"Then I can rest assured."
Ji Moyan smiled and promised, "I'll talk to your mother. She'll definitely like getting a son and a grandson for free."
Upon hearing this, Qin Yiheng's lips curled up into a wide smile, and he exclaimed, "That would be wonderful! Thank you so much, Auntie!"
Gu Yilou couldn't listen to it anymore.
"Mom, if there's nothing else, I'm hanging up."
He ended the video call as soon as he finished speaking.

After returning to China, Xiao Bao transferred to a private school that was the best in the capital city.
He had only been in school for a short time, but he had already taken three exams. Except for the first exam, in which he ranked twentieth, he ranked in the top ten in the second and third exams.
He believes he can get into the top five in his grade if given a year.
After explaining the exam paper for the third test, the homeroom teacher announced that a parent-teacher meeting would be held and that parents had already been notified.
Although he wasn't entirely satisfied with his grades, Xiao Bao was still quite happy about seeing his dad at the parent-teacher conference.
The parent-teacher meeting was held as scheduled on Friday morning.
Gu Yilou arrived early, but he sat discreetly in the last row of the classroom.
As parents took their seats, the homeroom teacher turned on the multimedia system and presented each student's three exam results in PowerPoint format, clearly showing their progress and setbacks, as well as their strengths and weaknesses.
Parents paid close attention and naturally watched very carefully.
Bang!
Suddenly, a middle-aged woman kicked open the classroom door and walked a few steps to the middle-aged man.
"You, Shen Zhenghao, I'm working myself to the bone at the company, and you're here attending a parent-teacher conference with some other little vixen?"
