Chapter 84: Picking up a child while drinking
Lu Wan looked weak and frail, but her alcohol tolerance was truly unfathomable.
Ji Mingyu was a novice and playful person, and he was soon drunk and knocked down.
"Wanwan, you win."
Gu Nanyue saw Ji Mingyu fall headfirst onto the table. She didn't expect it to happen so quickly. She was shocked for a moment, then turned to Lu Wan with a smile.
At this moment, Lu Wan elegantly wiped the edge of her lips with her clean, white and smooth fingers.
She put down her wine glass, and she was no longer drunk at all.
She has experienced countless dark moments since she was a child. She had no way to relieve the pain, so she would drink to numb herself.
Over time, the ability to drink alcohol will naturally be developed.
Huo Beiting glanced at Ji Mingyu who was lying on the ground, then glanced at Lu Wan seemingly casually, with the wine glass in his hand, his eyes were dim and unclear.
"By the way, Mr. Huo and Ms. Lu, when are you planning to get married?"
Tang Ci was probably bored drinking alone, so he asked out of the blue.
As soon as he finished speaking, Chu Yan looked at him with horror.
Everyone knows that Miss Lu committed suicide by cutting her wrists a few days ago in order to refuse a marriage proposal.
He actually dared to mention marriage in front of the two masters.
Tang Ci didn't look at Chu Yan's eyes. She turned the wine glass and smiled softly.
After all, he is not an ordinary person. As an actor in the circle, he has tens of millions of fans.
He also has capital and has invested in an entertainment company, which is now one of the best in the industry.
"Don't worry, I'll definitely send you an invitation when I get married."
Huo Beiting was rarely not angry and replied to Tang Ci calmly.
After saying this, he drank the wine in his hand.
Lu Wan's face was flushed at this moment.
She looked at the clear and cold figure with complicated eyes, and her heart seemed to be pressed by something, feeling heavy.
But after all, he didn't resist to the point of committing suicide as before.
She just felt that this marriage was not what she wanted. It was like a heavy shackle imprisoning her, making it difficult for her to breathe.
"By the way, Mr. Shen's birthday is coming up soon, what are you going to do? You're not going to celebrate it at the company like usual, right?"
Chu Yan glanced at Lu Wan's pale face and quickly changed the subject.
In the past few years, Mr. Shen has not held a birthday party. He was still busy working in the company on his birthday. Will it be the same this year?
"If you are free, come to my house and get together." Shen Boyan had stopped drinking. He took a prawn, peeled it carefully, and put it on Gu Nanyan's plate.
There was already a lot of food on Gu Nanyue's plate, including fish with good bones, shrimp, crab meat, etc.
"It seems I have to prepare the gift carefully."
Hearing that Shen Boyan was going to hold a birthday party, Chu Yan immediately sat up straighter.
It was a rare birthday for Mr. Shen, so they couldn’t be vague about the gifts.
"Just show up, no need for gifts."
Shen Boyan picked up the wet towel on the table and wiped his hands, then raised the wine glass to the few people.
Everyone immediately raised their glasses, and Tang Ci smiled and said, "It's just a birthday gift. Is Mr. Shen worried that we can't afford it?"
"I heard that you bought the building on East Street a few days ago. It's a good location."
After Shen Boyan's meaningful words fell, Tang Ci immediately stopped laughing.
"I spoke too early. I'll drink three cups as a punishment." Tang Ci immediately drank the wine in the cup, then poured himself two more cups, and drank three cups in a row.
Shen Boyan's expression remained unchanged, and he drank the wine in the glass calmly.
"I think Mingyu is quite drunk, let's take a break before drinking."
Ji Mingyu fell asleep on the table. Chu Yan took a look and said to everyone helplessly.
Shen Boyan raised his hand and looked at his watch at this time, “Then everyone rest at home first, I’ll go pick up a child.”
Xiao Mumu’s early education class is about to end.
"Ah?"
These words really shocked several handsome single men.
"Boss Shen, your family has so many drivers, do you have to go in person to pick up a child?"
Several single men without children expressed their incomprehension.
“My son likes me to pick him up.”
After saying this with confidence, Shen Boyan got up and went back to the house to change clothes.
The men looked at each other.
The pride in Shen Boyan's words was something they could not understand.
Maybe they can only understand this after they have children.
"I'm going to the bathroom."
Lu Wan turned around and said something to Gu Nanyue, then stood up and left.
"I'm going too."
Gu Nanyue hurriedly followed her.
As they walked, Gu Nanyan asked, "Then, are you going to give it to him during our break?"
Otherwise, he would leave directly after drinking and Wanwan would not have the chance.
"...Okay..." Lu Wan was still a little scared when she thought of Huo Beiting.
But after all, he gave her such a valuable gift, she had to give something in return.
Gu Nanyue immediately ordered Xiaoyue to take down Lu Wan's painting.
Chu Yan and Tang Ci personally helped Ji Mingyu to the guest room to sleep.
As soon as he put the person down, Tang Ci patted the places on his body that Ji Mingyu had rubbed against him and complained, "He is not as heavy as a pig."
"Forget it, forget it." Chu Yan, who has always been the peacemaker, comforted.
It was really unfair to ask Mr. Tang to personally support Mingyu, the drunkard.
Huo Beiting sat in the yard and was the last to leave.
Just as she stood up, Lu Wan walked towards him holding two paintings, "Mr. Huo...Mr. Huo, can I have a word with you?"
"good."
Huo Beiting looked at her, raised his eyebrows slightly, and agreed without thinking.
Lu Wan immediately hugged the two paintings tightly and turned to walk towards the side courtyard.
She brought two paintings, as the scene of giving away paintings was not suitable for others to see.
In order to avoid misunderstanding, she didn't explain it clearly and there were no extra paintings to give away.
They came to a small side yard with a patch of green bamboos. There was a stone table just beneath the bamboos. Lu Wan went over and sat down on a stone bench on the side.
Huo Beiting, dressed in black, followed and sat on the stone bench on the other side.
He looked at the woman with unusual behavior with deep and meaningful eyes.
"These two are paintings I...I drew them myself. Take a look and see if you like them."
When Lu Wan saw the man sitting down, she pushed both paintings in front of him.
Huo Beiting raised his eyebrows again.
He picked up a painting and opened it without making a sound.
A vivid scene comes into view.
Lu Wan’s painting style is warm and healing, and it makes people feel happy just by looking at it.
"I like it." Huo Beiting expressed his love for the painting without hesitation. He picked up another painting and opened it to take a look. He asked casually, "Why did you give it to me?"
I haven't seen her post these two paintings online.
When was it painted?
"Didn't you also...didn't you also give me something?" Lu Wan swallowed. She didn't know why she was so nervous in front of a man, but she tried her best to calm herself down. "The necklace you gave me was my mother's relic. It's very important to me."
"I know." Huo Beiting looked at the painting and replied without changing his expression.
"Ah?" Lu Wan looked at him in confusion. What did he know?
"I know that's your mother's relic." Huo Beiting put down the painting, reluctant to close it.
Lu Wan looked at him blankly.
So he knew it was his mother's relic and gave it to her specially?
Although she had such a guess when she received the necklace, but now that he said it himself, she had a feeling in her heart... that he did this because he cared about her.
"So, this is my return gift." Lu Wan suppressed those messy thoughts and expressed herself concisely.
"Want to settle things with me?"
Huo Beiting rolled up the painting and stared at her with a pair of eyes as deep as black holes.
