Lu Benlai: "What's bothering you?"
Xia Shangzhou: "Did you get into an argument with Little Junior?"
"How could that be …" Lin Jiage replied as he took another sip of wine. "… Maybe it's because I'm going to be a father, so I'm feeling vexed."
Lu Benlai: "…" How shameless!
Xia Shangzhou tilted his head to the side. "…" In the end, this was still a public display of affection!
Even though Lu Benlai and Xia Shangzhou were dealt a heavy blow, they still managed to quickly adjust their emotions and congratulate Lin Jiage.
After putting down his wine cup, Lu Benlai couldn't help but ask, "Since Little Junior is pregnant, is your marriage going to be held soon?"
Lin Jiage replied with an "Un" before replying, "It should be next month."
Lu Benlai and Xia Shangzhou congratulated each other once more. Following which, Xia Shangzhou, who hadn't drunk any wine at all, suddenly exclaimed, "I always thought that Song Chaoxi would be the first to get married, and Eldest would be the last to get married. But who would have thought that Eldest would be the first to get married … I'm guessing that after Eldest gets married, it'll be Song Chaoxi's turn, and then it'll be you, Old Lu …"
At this point, Xia Shangzhou couldn't help but ask Lu Benlai curiously, "… Speaking of which, Old Lu, Junior Leng Nuan is going to graduate soon. Aren't you going to propose to her?"
It would have been better if he hadn't mentioned Leng Nuan, but the mention of Leng Nuan made Lu Benlai, who was in a good mood a moment ago, tighten his grip around the wine cup in his hand. His eyelids were lowered so that no one noticed his abnormal behavior. After pouring the wine into his mouth, he raised his head and looked at Xia Shangzhou with a smile, "Of course I'm going to propose to her …"
After saying those words, Lu Benlai's eyelids drooped down once more. As if he had encountered something difficult to understand, he gulped down another cup of wine before turning to Xia Shangzhou and asking, "Old Xia, what about you? Aren't you going to find a girlfriend? "
"Of course I'll find a girlfriend …" Xia Shangzhou replied calmly, not revealing the slightest hint that he already had someone he liked. "… But it's still up to fate."
Despite hearing those words, Lin Jiage remained silent. He raised his wine glass and took a sip, indicating that he agreed with the other party's words.
Lu Benlai had ordered quite a lot of beer, but most of it had ended up in his stomach. He wasn't drunk, but he was a little tipsy. He stared at Lin Jiage and Xia Shangzhou, and there were a few times when he opened his mouth to ask them something, but he found himself unable to do so. It was only after he gulped down another bottle of beer that he finally managed to speak his mind, "There's a brother in my company who has a girlfriend for quite some time now. However, putting aside doing anything intimate with her, she won't even kiss, hug, or hold his hand … What do you think is the reason behind this?"
Xia Shangzhou took a big gulp of Sprite as if he was drinking hard liquor. "Do you even need to ask? It must be that the woman doesn't like the man … "
Lu Benlai's fingertips trembled, and wine spilled out.
Without saying a word, he turned to Lin Jiage.
Meeting Zhang Xuan's gaze, Lin Jiage shook his head and replied, "I'm not too sure, but Old Xia's words do make sense."
Lu Benlai fell silent for a moment before a smile suddenly appeared on his face.
"Perhaps …" As if he hadn't said anything at all, he gestured for Lin Jiage and Xia Shangzhou to continue drinking.
Lin Jiage was worried about Shi Yao's pregnancy, so he left at eleven o 'clock.
Not too long after Lu Benlai left, Xia Shangzhou received a call from Lin Jiayi, saying that she wanted to have mala soup in the middle of the night.
Lu Benlai was the only one left in the suite. He stared out the window for a while before calling for a waiter to help him give Leng Nuan a call.
In less than twenty minutes, Leng Nuan appeared in the suite.
Lu Benlai was slumped on the table, completely motionless with a drunken look on his face.
Leng Nuan walked up to him and called his name softly, but she didn't reach out to touch him at all. In the end, Lu Benlai was the one who raised his head and looked at Leng Nuan with a drunken look in his eyes, as if he couldn't tell who was who. It took him a long while before he finally called out, "Nuan Nuan …"
"Why did you drink so much? I'll get the waiter to help you into the car so that I can send you home … "As she spoke, Leng Nuan stood up and walked out of the suite to call for the waiter.
Hearing those words, Lu Benlai's fingers silently clenched into fists.
I'm already drunk. She can just casually help me up, but she's not even willing to do that?
He stared at Leng Nuan's silhouette for a moment, and just as she was about to leave, he suddenly reached out and grabbed her wrist.
His touch struck her like a bolt of lightning, causing her to lose her usual composure. She struggled desperately to break free, but Lu Benlai's grip on her hand only grew tighter and tighter. In fact, he even lowered his head to approach her face …
