Bai Yutian walked away, and Gu Chenan picked up the chicken soup bowl and gently took a sip of the soup with a ladle.
Suddenly...
"Cough cough cough."
Gu Chenan coughed violently.
Damn, did this Bai Yutian beat the salt peddler to death?
How much salt did she put in this bowl of chicken soup? It's killing me!
Bai Yutian doesn't know how to cook. She learned how to make soup by watching short videos this morning.
I have to say, the soup she made is pretty good, the broth is clear and the meat tender, but the only downside is that she put in too much salt.
Gu Chenan frowned and put the chicken soup on the bedside table.
I'm not drinking this. If I drink this bowl of soup, I won't need to eat salt for a month.
Just then, Gu Chenan's phone rang.
He picked it up and glanced at it, his brow slightly raised.
It was his "loyal follower" Qin Feng.
"Hey Old Qin, what's up?" Gu Chenan asked.
"Brother Gu, are you free this afternoon?" Qin Feng's voice sounded a bit strange on the other end of the phone.
"What's the matter, you looking for me?" Gu Chenan didn't notice the subtle tone in Qin Feng's voice.
"Uh, it's like this." Qin Feng sorted out his thoughts and said, "I want to take you out for lunch with Old Wang this afternoon."
"Ha?" Gu Chenan was a little confused and frowned.
"Taking me out for lunch? What for? Just tell me if you have something to say."
Gu Chenan thought Qin Feng was having some kind of trouble.
"Aiya, Brother Gu, really no reason, Old Wang and I were thinking we haven't hung out with you for a long time, and you just happen to be free right now."
"Uh." Gu Chenan rubbed the bridge of his nose. The hangover headache still hadn't completely gone away.
"We can eat, but no drinking." He said.
"Sure, no drinking!" Qin Feng said excitedly.
"Where?" Gu Chenan asked.
"Mingyue Night Restaurant." Qin Feng swallowed and said.
"Tsk~"
Gu Chenan sucked in a breath of cold air.
Mingyue Night?!
That's the most famous dating restaurant in Donghai!
You two wanted to take me there for a meal? Are you kidding, isn't that too inappropriate?!
"Old Qin, tell me honestly, what are you two up to?"
"Brother Gu, we really just want to take you out for a meal." Qin Feng said firmly.
"Taking me out for a meal at Mingyue Night? Don't you know what kind of place that is?" Gu Chenan didn't believe him at all.
To be exact, Mingyue Night Restaurant wasn't famous for its food, but for its facilities.
Mingyue Night Restaurant didn't have a lobby, only individual private rooms.
The rooms didn't look like dining places at all, but had water beds, massage chairs, and some unspeakable machines.
In short, the rooms were fully equipped intimate spaces.
Couples who went there to dine didn't really intend to eat at all.
Plus the atmosphere and smells in the restaurant were extremely ambiguous. Any couple who went in there would be successful in getting intimate.
"Gulp."
Qin Feng swallowed and said awkwardly, "Brother Gu, don't you trust me and Old Wang?"
"It's decided then, see you at Mingyue Night at noon, room 3002."
After that, Qin Feng immediately hung up the phone.
Beep beep beep~
Listening to the sound coming from the phone, Gu Chenan was full of questions.
Just what were these two rascals up to?
It would be hard not to get the wrong idea about three grown men going to Mingyue Night for a meal?!
Gu Chenan didn't want to go, but out of brotherly affection he still had to.
Also, as Qin Feng said, they wouldn't harm Gu Chenan.
Gu Chenan even felt that even if they harmed themselves, they wouldn't harm him.
...
In Qin Feng's villa in Donghu Bay Villa District, as soon as Qin Feng hung up the phone, Wang Yang came over and asked anxiously,
"How was it, Old Qin? What did Brother Gu say?"
"Hehe." Qin Feng grinned wickedly and raised his brow, "Brother Gu will come."
"What about Miss Su's side?" Wang Yang asked.
"Miss Su..."
Qin Feng tapped rhythmically on the table with his fingers, making rhythmic sounds.
After a long time, he grinned, "We'll go talk to Miss Su ourselves."
...
Gu Chenan, now dressed, came out of the bedroom and stood at the top of the stairs, stretching lazily.
He had to say, ever since he "took care" of Liu Mingrui yesterday, he had been happy beyond measure.
Plus he was certain he wouldn't have any contact with Su Qianmo in the short term, and the next Ye family story didn't involve him, so he felt completely relaxed.
Acting out this role had kept him tense, and with a few days before the Ye family story started, he might as well spend them having fun with Old Qin and Old Wang.
Where to go have fun? Suhang or Chang'an?
Gu Chenan yawned and strolled down the stairs.
Sitting on the sofa with crossed legs, Gu Chenan called Ma Bing over.
"Young Master Gu, you wanted me?"
"Sober from the drinking?"
Ma Bing had also drank with Gu Chenan last night, and was quite drunk at the time too.
"Yes, sober now." Ma Bing said.
"Good." Gu Chenan nodded, "I have something to do at noon today, help me contact the Suhang branch, I'm going to Suhang for a few days."
"Yes, Young Master Gu." Ma Bing nodded.
Going to Chang'an for just a few days wasn't very realistic. Not only was it far, the rushed time wouldn't allow them to fully enjoy themselves.
So Gu Chenan planned to take Old Qin and Old Wang to Suhang to really enjoy themselves.
After the Ye family storyline ends, there wouldn't be time to leave Donghai.
By then, Lin Yu would make a big splash, and the major families would be vying to win him over. Gu Chenan would also have to be prepared to be shown up by Lin Yu in various ways.
After instructing Ma Bing, Gu Chenan played on his phone for a while. When it was about time, he drove to Mingyue Night Restaurant.
Soon, Gu Chenan's gray and gold Lamborghini appeared in the parking lot of Mingyue Night.
After parking, Gu Chenan sent Qin Feng a WeChat message.
"I'm here, where are you two?"
Qin Feng's WeChat quickly replied,
"Brother Gu, go ahead to the room first, Old Wang and I will be there soon."
Gu Chenan replied, "OK, I'll go in first. By the way, you two are coming with me to Suhang to relax and unwind for a few days tomorrow."
"Awesome!"
Putting his phone away, Gu Chenan adjusted his suit collar and entered the front desk on the first floor of Mingyue Night Restaurant.
"Welcome si...Young Master Gu! It's you?!"
The front desk receptionist was all smiles, but when he saw it was Gu Chenan, his eyes clearly showed surprise.
Gu Chenan was a big figure in Donghai. From prestigious families to commoners, basically everyone knew Gu Chenan.
Gu Chenan nodded slightly, "Please take me to 3002."
"Of course, Young Master Gu, please!"
The nervous receptionist gestured for Gu Chenan to enter the elevator.
