Chapter 161: Chapter 162: Mr. Gu’s Magnanimity…
Translator: 549690339
The restaurant named Lan Ting Shui Xiang was built over an artificial lake.
Countless pavilions, terraces, and towers are actually exquisite private rooms.
A winding water corridor connects these rooms outside.
From a distance, it was brightly lit, resembling the unique scenery of the Jiangnan water town, yet tinged with an extra touch of luxury.
Chen Yu had had too much wine, and, hanging onto Xia Yangyang’s shoulder, sobbed, “Little Miss, I can’t bear to be without you, divorce Gu Qichen… come away with me, let’s go to the Eiffel Tower, to the bridge in Prague, to the most romantic and touching place that others don’t know about…”
As Chen Yu spoke, he began to sing.
It was ‘Elope’ by Zeng Yike.
The tune was incredibly soft, but as it was sung in Chen Yu’s drunken voice…
Have you heard Tengger singing ‘Invisible Wings’?
Well, that’s the feeling…
Chen Yu sat at a table with the director, scriptwriter, and several others from the team.
Because seated on the other side of Xia Yangyang was Gu Qichen.
Yet Chen Yu insisted on clinging to Xia Yangyang, whether he was genuinely drunk or pretending to be.
After acting together and partnering with Chen Yu for three months, Xia Yangyang and Chen Yu had become close friends.
Especially so as Chen Yu was her childhood playmate, Brother Yutou.
Perhaps due to their mothers, they would often chat about their childhood days, the tender times when their mothers were still alive, which Xia Yangyang longed for.
Xia Yangyang said to Chen Yu, “You’re drunk. Let Xiao Yang take you home first, okay?”
Leaning on Xia Yangyang’s shoulder, Chen Yu refused, “I won’t go, I want kisses, hugs, and to be picked up.”
He was indeed dead drunk, leaving Xia Yangyang helpless.
She stood up and said to everyone, “I’ll take Chen Yu to the lounge to rest. He can sleep there for a while, and Xiao Yang will fetch him later.”
She helped Chen Yu to his feet and started to walk away.
Watching the departing figure of the two, Gu Qichen’s eyes slowly narrowed.
Everyone held their breath for Chen Yu, was he challenging Mr. Gu’s bottom line?
They expected Mr. Gu to have someone forcibly remove Chen Yu.
Unexpectedly, Mr. Gu asked a waiter nearby, “Do you have something like a hangover cure tea here?”
The waiter replied, “Yes.”
Everyone let out a sigh of relief.
A man of stature, indeed. This magnanimity is unmatched.
His wife being bothered by another man, yet he considered the man’s health by ordering a hangover cure tea for him.
Gu Qichen continued to ask, “What kind of hangover cure tea do you have?”
“Ginger tea, muscat, pu-er, and chrysanthemum tea. Which one would you like, sir?”
Gu Qichen calmly said, “Make a pot of Kuding and Huanglian Tea for me. Our friend here has unique tastes, and ordinary tea might not cure his drunkenness. Add plenty of Huanglian, but it must be bitter. The more bitter, the better.”
The waiter looked at Gu Qichen with a weird expression; no guest had ever made such a request.
However, he still left the room to make the hangover cure tea.
The people at the table seemed relieved.
This was the Mr. Gu they knew.
As for Chen Yu, they felt deep sympathy for him. The saying, “ask for trouble,” could not have been more fitting.
Xia Yangyang returned quite soon.
Simultaneously, the waiter came in with a pot of extremely bitter Kuding and Huanglian Tea.
Curious, Xia Yangyang asked, “What’s this?”
With a gentle smile, Gu Qichen said, “It’s the hangover cure tea I ordered for
Chen Yu. He will feel better after drinking it.”
Xia Yangyang exclaimed, “You’re so thoughtful.”
She had thought that Gu Qichen would be upset.
Gu Qichen continued to smile faintly, “Your friends are my friends.”
Then he turned to the waiter and said, “Please take the hangover cure tea to the lounge. Make sure he drinks it all.”
Touched, Xia Yangyang said, “Husband, you are really too good.”
The crowd was dumbfounded!
Miss Xia, it seems that you don’t understand your husband very well…
