"Gu Yanjing, did you badmouth me in front of the little sister-in-law?" Lin Huai Shu circled to the other side of the table, putting some distance to stay safe.
Gu Yanjing looked at Qiao Yuxian’s steady hand without speaking.
Qiao Yuxian’s gaze kept following Lin Huai Shu, watching him stand opposite her. She lifted her foot, ready to stomp on the table and leap over to hit him.
However, as soon as her high heel touched the table, Gu Yanjing pulled her down.
Qiao Yuxian frowned, not looking at the person beside her, she flung his hand away and gave him a push.
Gu Yanjing, who was pushed away: "......"
Qiao Yuxian stepped on the table again, fiercely, aiming the glass cup in her hand at Lin Huai Shu’s head.
Even though Lin Huai Shu said he was scared, his expression didn’t show much worry. He was somewhat playing along with her.
"Bastard." Qiao Yuxian said with force, about to get on the table, intending to throw the broken cup from her hand.
"Hey, hey, hey." Qin Xia and Wei Jiye both tried to stop her.
But they were a step slower than Gu Yanjing.
Gu Yanjing wrapped his arms around her waist, grabbed her wrist, and took the broken cup from her hand.
"Ah. Let go of me. There’s an accomplice as well! Such audacity!" Qiao Yuxian felt her hand empty and looked down, trying to pry the fingers Gu Yanjing had on her waist. After a while with no success, she raised her eyes to Lin Huai Shu, pointed at him, and said, "You bastard #@￥%@ right in front of my @#￥ snatch &*%$#% people, I’ll twist your head off."
Except for the last sentence, no one understood what she said before that.
Lin Huai Shu touched his own neck and whispered to Chu Zhengran beside him, "The little sister-in-law is truly fierce."
Chu Zhengran said nothing, quietly watching the scene unfold.
Qiao Yuxian, because she was pointing at Lin Huai Shu, let the coat she was wearing slip off, revealing one shoulder.
Gu Yanjing stopped her while wrapping the fallen coat tightly around her again.
"Let go of me! You accomplice, you #￥%&￥#%*&..." Qiao Yuxian struggled within the coat, unable to break free, turned around looking at Gu Yanjing after a few seconds.
In an instant, all her enmity rushed toward Gu Yanjing.
Seeing this, Qin Xia kindly reminded Gu Yanjing, "You’re in trouble now."
For the first time, Gu Yanjing saw her reveal such a fierce expression.
But after she met his gaze, that look disappeared bit by bit.
It was like sharp claws suddenly being retracted, and she became gentle.
Gu Yanjing looked at her eyes which had turned soft and downcast, and after two seconds said, "Wear your clothes properly."
Qiao Yuxian frowned slightly but did not move.
Gu Yanjing lifted her clothes a bit and said, "Put your arms into the sleeves."
Qiao Yuxian glanced at him, lowered her head, and put her arms into the sleeves.
Gu Yanjing took hold of the other side and made sure she wore it properly on both sides.
Qin Xia, who was waiting to see the two have a showdown, was stunned: "????????????"
She had never had so many question marks in her head in her whole life.
What is this situation?
Someone tell her what is happening!
Wei Jiye was also completely shocked.
Meanwhile, Lin Huai Shu and Chu Zhengran’s surprise came from Gu Yanjing, amazed that he could be so gentle and patient with someone.
Even though his expression was cold and his tone harsh and emotionless, they could feel his tenderness.
Qiao Yuxian’s arms reached into the sleeves. The sleeves were too long, completely covering her hands. She looked down at the long sleeves, swinging her arms.
Gu Yanjing looked down at her: "Going back?"
Qiao Yuxian didn’t move.
Gu Yanjing raised his hand and patted her head: "Qiao Yuxian."
Hearing someone call her name, Qiao Yuxian lifted her eyes.
She met Gu Yanjing’s gaze once more.
She blankly looked at Gu Yanjing for two seconds, then suddenly smiled with squinted eyes and said, "You look like someone I know."
Qin Xia had question marks growing out of her head for the rest of her life.
What is this situation again?
Where did your habit of hitting people when you’re drunk go?
Gu Yanjing looked at her.
Qiao Yuxian pointed a finger, outlining his brow and eyes in the air, mumbling, "You look so much like my husband."
Lin Huai Shu suddenly shivered for some reason.
Chu Zhengran raised his eyebrows, looking at Gu Yanjing.
Because of a certain two words from her, Gu Yanjing’s fingers hanging by his side trembled slightly, and his eyes deepened.
Qiao Yuxian’s vision began to blur; she took a step forward, looking up at Gu Yanjing from a closer distance: "You really look like my husband. I’ll show you my marriage certificate. It has his picture."
Qiao Yuxian smiled haughtily, as if sharing a little secret, "He was right next to me when we took the picture, so fragrant and handsome."
"Pfft—" Lin Huai Shu spat out his drink.
"I’ll show you our marriage certificate." Saying this, Qiao Yuxian began to search herself for her bag, patting her body, touching the pockets of the suit, but found nothing, "Where’s my marriage certificate? I put it in my bag. Where’s my bag?"
"At home," Gu Yanjing reminded her.
Qiao Yuxian’s hazy expression cleared up a bit, "Right, at home."
She said, turned, and walked two steps to the side.
Then she stopped, turned her head, and looked at Gu Yanjing, beckoning to him.
This small gesture of beckoning was stiff yet somewhat cute.
She said, "Come on, let’s go home. You’re too handsome, out here it’s too dangerous, very easy to get forced into marriage. My husband was coerced by me into marriage."
The other four, hearing this, froze in place again, but their souls were trembling.
"Especially him..." Qiao Yuxian pointed to Lin Huai Shu, "You can tell he’s not a good person at first glance, you have to be careful with him, don’t play with him. Be careful he’ll seduce you."
Gu Yanjing’s face darkened: "......"
Lin Huai Shu was so shocked that he had no reaction at all, probably didn’t even hear what Qiao Yuxian said after.
Ignoring the others, Gu Yanjing simply took Qiao Yuxian’s hand and led her in the opposite direction.
Qiao Yuxian didn’t move.
Gu Yanjing said, "This way leads home."
"Oh." Hand in hand with him, Qiao Yuxian obediently followed him.
