Qin Jian sent a glare flying over: "Tian Niu, I think you’re getting a little too full of yourself today."
"Hehe! Chief of staff, now that you’ve been promoted, you’re not leading us anymore. Since we won’t have a chance to be punished by you in the future, aren’t we allowed to let loose a bit?" Tian Niu said without any inhibition.
Those words instantly cooled the heated atmosphere that had just been there.
The disbandment was imminent, and no one knew where the road ahead lay, causing the warriors’ hearts to sink.
"Alright. No more nonsense, or I’ll punish you with drinks at noon!" Qin Jian said, waving his hand to everyone, "Sit!"
Gu Shuangshuang also came over with Tian Niu.
She sat with An Hao, murmuring secrets to each other.
"How was it? Was your wedding night good?"
"Mhm." An Hao nodded with a smile.
"That... did you guys feel shy or anything?" Gu Shuangshuang asked delicately, after all, even if she was open-minded, she wouldn’t speak as bluntly as a man.
"A little, maybe. But it was okay." An Hao’s face flushed and heart raced just thinking about the previous night.
Seeing the blush that crept up her cheeks, Gu Shuangshuang knew An Hao’s heart must be sweeter than honey.
"What about you Shuangshuang, did you get used to the guest house last night?"
"Yes, it was good. I called home yesterday. My dad is coming to pick me up the day after tomorrow. You have to spend New Year’s at home. But I know you’re returning to your parents’ home in three days, so we probably won’t see each other then. We’ll have to wait until school starts again."
"I’m sorry I can’t see you off. Let’s catch up properly after we return to school," An Hao said.
"What are you two whispering about? Come on, sister-in-law, let me toast to you!" Tian Niu came over with two cups of wine for An Hao.
Qin Jian looked at An Hao, asking, "Can you handle it? If not, I’ll drink for you."
An Hao smiled brightly: "I can handle it! Don’t worry about it."
After she said that, she tilted her head back and downed the wine in one go.
"Sister-in-law is awesome!" Tian Niu gave her a thumbs up.
He led the way, and the warriors began to toast An Hao one after the other, and An Hao didn’t refuse a single drink.
Although the cups were small, Qin Jian was still alarmed: "Enough, enough! Let’s put a cap on it! Everyone, sit down and eat!"
"Sister-in-law hasn’t had enough, Chief of Staff, you don’t get to call the shots," Tian Niu didn’t want to miss the opportunity and poured three more cups, "Come on, we’ll stop drinking after these three cups."
"I’ll drink these three cups," Qin Jian began to reach for the cups but An Hao stopped him, "Let me do it, you drank a lot yesterday. Drinking too much today would be bad for your stomach."
After saying that, she raised the cup and, tilting her head back, the three cups were downed.
Besides a slight redness in her cheeks after finishing, there wasn’t a hint of trouble.
"Sister-in-law, what a capacity for liquor!"
Qin Jian watched her worriedly: "Are you really okay?"
He regretted not listening to his own concerns and failing to stop her earlier.
An Hao smiled lightly, putting the cup down: "Have you ever heard of people who can drink a thousand cups without getting drunk? To say a thousand may be an exaggeration, but it’s true I can handle a lot. I happen to be one of those people."
"Really? Then let’s have a go, sister-in-law?"
Qin Jian glared at Tian Niu: "That’s enough! Don’t take it too far."
"Okay... okay," Tian Niu agreed.
An Hao sat down, and Gu Shuangshuang quickly helped her to a few bites, "Eat more."
She had just picked up her chopsticks and hadn’t started eating when her gaze accidentally swept over to the doorway, where a very familiar figure was standing.
