Although Gu Nianshen sounded authoritative, the words ‘return home together’ warmed Lin Yiqian’s heart.

“Oh.” Lin Yiqian pouted as she nodded reluctantly.

Without saying a word, Gu Nianshen turned around and prepared to leave. As he did so, his gaze landed on Lin Xiaoyu. Seeing Lin Yiqian and Lin Xiaoyu standing next to each other, he felt joy in his heart.

Gu Nianshen could not help but smile a little.

“Come over.”

‘Come over?’ Lin Yiqian repeated in her mind when she saw the text message from Gu Nianshen. With a frown, she looked in the direction where Gu Nianshen had gone.

There were several private rooms that had windows Lin Yiqian could vaguely look through.

However, Gu Nianshen did not mention which room he was in or why she was being called in. What was the meaning of this?

As Lin Yiqian cursed in her mind, she stood up and began walking toward the row of private rooms. She was now alone as Bai Se had already picked Xiaoyu up and took him home to sleep.

“Which private room is Gu Nianshen in?” Lin Yiqian asked one of the waiters.

She was certain that any of the servants would know about Gu Nianshen due to his status.

“Over here.” The servant brought Lin Yiqian to the private room at the end of the walkway. As the door was pushed open, Lin Yiqian could see a long dining table with men and women seated on both sides.

When everyone saw Lin Yiqian, they seemed surprised.

Lin Yiqian immediately spotted Gu Nianshen who was sitting at the end of the table across from her. His face was slightly flushed with redness and his hair seemed to be somewhat out of place.

Clearly, he had one too many drinks.

As Gu Nianshen was chatting with the person next to him, he had not noticed Lin Yiqian’s arrival.

“Nianshen,” Lin Yiqian called out.

Her clear voice immediately caused Gu Nianshen’s eyes to light up. He turned his head around to find the familiar feminine figure standing at the door as she looked at him.

Lin Yiqian’s eyes glistened as she smiled. Her red T-shirt made her appear as if she was blushing.

Without a moment’s hesitation, Gu Nianshen stood up. “I’m sorry, everyone. My wife is here.”

Then, he started walking toward Lin Yiqian.

Suddenly, a young man raised two glasses of alcohol and approached Lin Yiqian. “Mr. Gu, we have missed the opportunity to celebrate at your wedding. Why don’t we all take this opportunity to pay our respects by having a glass with you and Mrs. Gu?”

As the man spoke, he handed the glass of alcohol to Lin Yiqian.

Before Lin Yiqian could refuse, a familiar man’s figure appeared next to her and snatched the glass of alcohol away.

“My wife can’t drink alcohol. I’ll drink it on her behalf.” Gu Nianshen smiled at the man who offered the alcohol as he raised the glass.

His forceful smile caused the man to shiver in fear.

The ambiance in the room had suddenly turned awry.

Meanwhile, Gu Nianshen raised his other hand to grab Lin Yiqian by her waist.

Feeling her thin waist close to his arm, he felt the sudden urge to tighten his grip.

“Remember, my wife can’t drink alcohol,” Gu Nianshen said after he had downed the glass of alcohol as he returned the glass to the man who had offered it.

Then, his eyes scanned everyone in the room before he turned around with Lin Yiqian and left.

After he had left the room, many of the people in the room realized that they were subconsciously holding their breaths.

Although Lin Yiqian had come with her own car, she had no choice but to leave it behind as she needed to sit in his. Despite the fact that the two sat very close to each other in the backseat, Lin Yiqian was not able to detect the smell of alcohol from Gu Nianshen.

As she found it strange, she decided to lean closer to him to take a sniff.

Just as she carefully inched closer to him, Gu Nianshen suddenly raised his hand and pressed it against the back of her head, pressing her face against his chest.
