A hint of mockery flashed in Luo Shimiao's eyes. Here we go again. Holding Gu Nian's arm, she lowered her eyes and said, "Nian, why don't I go back? I won't disturb your reunion."
"Let's go back together." Gu Nian turned to look at her, his eyes filled with tenderness.
This scene ignited Lin Jianan's jealousy, causing her to put down the wine glass a little more forcefully.
"A-Nian, we've finally managed to get together, don't be such a spoilsport. Miss Luo is a grown woman, she won't get lost on her own when she gets back."
His eyes turned cold, and he said without any mercy, "I think you're a spoilsport. I'll let bygones be bygones for what you said to Miaomiao last time, out of respect for your senior."
"But that doesn't mean you can challenge my bottom line again. If you weren't my senior, you wouldn't even have the right to talk to me."
Lin Jianan's face turned pale instantly.
Chen Jingyu frowned deeply: "A-Nian, you're not allowed to talk about Jia Nan like that. She can be a bit direct sometimes, but what you said was a bit too harsh."
Upon hearing his words of defense of Lin Jianan and the tenderness in his eyes, Luo Shimiao suddenly realized that this was what Gu Nian meant when he said that Gu Nian's eyesight was not very good.
Looking at it now, it really doesn't seem good.
Lin Jianan regained her composure and put her arm around his, saying, "Jingyu, it's alright. As the saying goes, once you have a wife, you forget your mother. That applies to friends too."
"You're still so kind-hearted." His brows gradually relaxed, and he picked up the red wine and filled Gu Nian's glass: "You're punished by drinking this glass."
Luo Shimiao picked up another unopened bottle of red wine from the table and, under the watchful eyes of the others, unscrewed the cap with his bare hands.
"Don't bully your boyfriend." Red liquid gushed from the bottle and fell into Chen Jingyu's wine glass, only stopping when the liquid was level with the rim of the glass.
"What she said to me was much more offensive than what Gu Nian said. But I retaliated, so I didn't suffer any loss."
“If you drink this glass of wine, I’ll tell you something.” Her gaze fell on the two bodies pressed close together.
Chen Jingyu asked curiously, "What is it? Is it about Anian's embarrassing incident? If it's me, I'll drink three cups."
Gu Nian held her hand, gently kneading the back of her hand with his fingertips: "Miao Miao, I have some unflattering photos of you, so watch what you say."
She leaned on the man's shoulder and said, "How could someone as perfect as you have anything embarrassing to do?"
"Can I call you Brother Jingyu?"
"sure."
Gu Nian felt a pang of sadness and lowered her eyes, saying, "You call everyone else 'brother' or 'sister,' but when it comes to me, you call me by my full name."
"So, would you prefer me to call you brother or husband?"
The man's lips twitched, but he suppressed the upward curve of his mouth: "Call me husband."
Chen Jingming rubbed his arms and said, "You two are so mushy. Tone it down and stop torturing this single dog."
Luo Shimiao covered her mouth and said in feigned surprise, "Judging from your actions, I thought you two were together."
"We're close, is that not allowed?" Lin Jianan said, releasing her arms from her embrace.
Upon hearing this, his eyes darkened, a bitter smile playing on his lips, and he murmured, "Is it just that we're good friends?"
"Alright, alright, I thought you were going to be the Little Mermaid."
Lin Jianan's face darkened, and she raised her voice, saying, "What do you mean? You can't just say whatever you want. Or are you saying that rich people like to trample on other people's dignity?"
The situation suddenly became tense, and even the cheerful music coming from the speakers couldn't ease the tension.
Chen Jingyu winked at the man sitting calmly opposite him, signaling him to control his girlfriend.
He raised an eyebrow and shook his head almost imperceptibly.
Luo Shimiao leaned back, her long, beautiful legs crossed, and said casually, "The man who kissed you at Taikoo Hui today must be your boyfriend, right?"
"But in today's society, a kiss doesn't necessarily mean you're boyfriends. Even if you're all sticking together, you're not necessarily in a boyfriend-girlfriend relationship."
Chen Jingyu felt a pang in his heart, and his lips trembled as he asked, "Jianan, you have a boyfriend?"
“I…” Lin Jianan bit her lip: “He and I are just friends. Today he asked me out under the pretext of work, and then suddenly kissed me. I was stunned.”
"Pfft~" Luo Shimiao pursed her lips: "Sorry, I couldn't help it."
Gu Nian, who had been silent all along, suddenly spoke up: "Senior, drink up, don't let it become a breeding ground for fish."
Chen Jingyu picked up a full glass of wine and drank it in big gulps, as if venting his frustration through alcohol.
