After the banquet ended.

Liu Yuan and Lin Yue went back together.

Because Gu Feng was dragged by Ye Wei and others to go to the second half.

On the way, Lin Yue, who hadn’t drunk alcohol, was driving, and Liu Yuan, from the passenger seat, couldn’t help saying, "You really let Gu Feng go to that kind of place? Men at his level, even if they don’t want to play around, there are women who can’t help themselves even knowing he’s married."

"What can I do if I don’t trust him?" Lin Yue glanced at her, "You said it yourself, that’s how men circles at his level are. Besides, you know what relationship I have with him. I’ve got myself a husband who can help me with so many things, what more can I ask for?"

"True," Liu Yuan nodded, but still curiously asked, "You don’t mind?"

"Of course I mind," Lin Yue said with a bitter smile, "But what can I do besides doing my part well and playing the role of his wife? Right now, I’m just someone at his mercy."

As she finished speaking, they heard a voice message arrive on the phone.

It was from Gu Feng.

Lin Yue, who was driving, could only listen to it through the car’s Bluetooth.

Gu Feng said, "I’m going to have some drinks with them. Won’t be too late. Help me prepare some hangover cure for when I get back."

A sweet smile immediately appeared on Lin Yue’s face as she picked up her phone to reply, "Since so many people are going out together, you should spend more time with them."

Liu Yuan, who was previously worried about this girl, now looked at her with a face blooming like the spring sun, feeling goosebumps all over.

"It seems I really was overthinking it," Liu Yuan shook her head with a smile, "One is a soldier, naturally reserved, doesn’t express love or affection much, but can’t stand to see his wife wronged. The other acts as a wife, but I can’t see any acting at all."

At that moment, Lin Yu, who had also gone out with them that evening, sent Lin Yue a voice message too.

"Sister, brother-in-law hasn’t picked any girls just like last time. I’m keeping an eye out for you."

After listening to this informant’s message, Lin Yue’s smile grew even wider.

Liu Yuan, mockingly rolling her eyes, laughed, "I can see now, the two of you as a couple have no acting skills at all; it’s all genuine affection!"

When she dropped Liu Yuan off at her apartment, Liu Yuan, before getting out of the car, coughed lightly and said, "If I may suggest something, everyone must have called for girls at that place tonight, or brought female companions. I reckon your man is the only one alone. You should be with him now."

Lin Yue hesitated.

Liu Yuan continued, "He gave you so much face by attending your banquet today and even maintained your dignity in front of your friends. I think you should now go and try to fit into his circle."

Lin Yue had thought about it.

She really wanted to try and integrate into Gu Feng’s world.

"Wouldn’t that be overstepping?" Lin Yue furrowed her brows, "After all, without his permission and unless necessary, wouldn’t my showing up unexpectedly annoy him?"

Liu Yuan rolled her eyes, "Lin Yu said Gu Feng hasn’t picked up girls the last few times, which shows he’s inherently a clean man with high standards. Those vulgar girls in the clubs don’t appeal to him. But still, every man cares about their face, and it appears dull if everyone else has a girl but he doesn’t. Besides, he said on the phone he won’t drink too late, which means Gu Feng finds it meaningless to drink like that!"

"But," Lin Yue’s face showed she was tempted, but also a bit panicky, "I’ve never been to those kinds of places in my entire life."

Liu Yuan said, "Because every man in Jiangcheng who admires your man knows you’ve never been to those places, that’s precisely why you should try it for the sake of your husband."

Lin Yue’s cheeks blushed, "But what can I do there? My tolerance is so bad, I can’t even help him ward off drinks."

Liu Yuan rolled her eyes, "Who’s asking you to block drinks? What man takes a woman out to drink to have her ward off the drinking? You just need to be there with him. They just want to share the fun with their other half."

Speaking of which, Liu Yuan chuckled slyly, "You always say you don’t have the chance to get him drunk; won’t you take the chance tonight with the help of his buddies?"

Lin Yue’s beautiful eyes sparkled adorably.

"Do I need to walk you up?"

Hearing her say this, Liu Yuan knew the girl had finally seen the light, waved her hand with a smile, "I’m not drunk, I just can’t drive because of the alcohol. You go ahead, I’ll wait for your news!"

Lin Yue watched her enter the complex, then lingered for a moment in contemplation, struggling internally. Then she hurriedly checked her makeup in the car mirror, touching it up.

She then texted Lin Yu to ask for the private room number where they were drinking.

Lin Yu simply did as asked and informed Lin Yue of the room number.

But he had never expected that his sister, who had never gone out to drink or to nightclubs, would come over.

When Lin Yue was led into the private room by the waiter, the group of men inside were all stunned.

Even Gu Feng was taken aback.

Because he actually knew all about Lin Yue’s background.

After all, given his sensitive status, he certainly needed to check on the background of the woman suddenly appearing to register their marriage with him.

He also knew about Lin Yue’s principle of maintaining her integrity from a young age.

The singing and the noise from dice games in the private room stopped abruptly.

"Why are you here?" Gu Feng blurted out in surprise.

Feeling everyone’s gaze, yet only looking at Gu Feng, Lin Yue stood there awkwardly, not knowing where to put her hands, her tall legs straight, her face lightly blushing as she chuckled, "I just...wanted to be with you."

Gu Feng read anticipation and nervousness in her eyes.

Gu Feng glanced at her, "You don’t even drink."

Lin Yue proudly lifted her chin with a smile, "I can learn."

"Oh!!" The whole place burst into cheering.

Gu Feng laughed, patted the spot next to him on the couch.

Lin Yue immediately smiled and gracefully took the seat next to Gu Feng.

A faint fragrance assailed Gu Feng’s nostrils, and though he hadn’t felt much from the alcohol so far, he now felt slightly dazed.
