It was rare to meet a good brother who understood him, so Xu Huanshan became more and more enthusiastic as he spoke, casually picking up the remote control and lowering the projector screen behind the head of the dining table.
He found his previous works and invited Chen Cheng and Xiao Ye to appreciate them together.
Chen Cheng, however, didn't have any particular reaction.
He was a person who only loved sunsets and beautiful women.
Apart from that, there was nothing else he particularly favored.
Or rather, he was broad-minded; he knew a little bit of everything and loved a little bit of everything.
The same went for women.
Xiao Ye, on the other hand, was full of wonder, her chin already resting on Chen Cheng's shoulder as she exclaimed, "So beautiful~"
Xu Huanshan's lips curled up slightly as he began to introduce it, "This one is the 2012 Macau New Year's Eve fireworks show."
"Later, there's also one from the '08 Olympics. I had just started university back then and only participated by following my teacher."
"Wow, so cool~"
It had to be said, after spending so much time with Wang Moli, Xiao Ye had picked up that habit of Wang Moli's of liking to cheer others on.
She was now also an excellent audience member.
After chatting for a while, all the dishes were served.
When Gu Jia sat at the table, Xu Huanshan raised his glass, "Come, Old Chen, Xiao Ye, welcome to our home."
Gu Jia also raised her glass with a polite smile, "Welcome~"
Chen Cheng looked at Gu Jia's virtuous wife and mother appearance, his lips curling up slightly, "Cheers!"
"Cheers~"
"..."
Xu Ziyan also held his drink, shouting in his milky voice, "Cheers!"
Everyone took a sip, then picked up their chopsticks to grab some food.
Xu Ziyan sat opposite Xiao Ye, and Gu Jia sat next to her son to take care of him, which meant she was opposite Chen Cheng.
Xu Huanshan sat next to Gu Jia, which was to the side of Chen Cheng.
As they ate and chatted, Gu Jia's cooking...
Oh no, it should be the nanny's cooking, which was actually quite good.
Every dish tasted very authentic.
Scallion-braised lobster, abalone with tea tree mushrooms, stir-fried frog, braised pork trotters, morel and yam pork rib soup, steamed leopard coral grouper, hairy crab, and sweet and sour pork ribs.
Finally, two side dishes were served: shredded bamboo shoots in cold sauce and home-style Sichuan-style twice-cooked pork.
Gu Jia glanced at Xiao Ye, who was drinking heartily, and kindly reminded her, "Xiao Ye, drink slowly, no need to be so polite."
Xiao Ye exchanged a look with Chen Cheng and giggled, "Sister Jia, I'm fine."
Gu Jia's eyes widened. She was fine after drinking like that?
She even subconsciously cast an inquiring look at Chen Cheng.
Chen Cheng's lips curled up slightly, "Don't worry about her, she's just a lush."
"She's better now, but before, she had to be drunk every day before she would agree to sleep."
Ah, this...
Both Gu Jia and Xu Huanshan's eyes widened.
Neither of them expected that beneath Xiao Ye's quiet exterior, she had a wild heart.
Xiao Ye giggled at their reaction and hugged Chen Cheng's arm, "After I got together with him, I changed."
"He doesn't let me drink."
"Hee hee~"
Gu Jia looked at her sweet expression and remembered that the scumbag sitting opposite also had another girlfriend. She actually felt a bit of pity for this seemingly innocent and romantic girl.
She turned her head and glared fiercely at Chen Cheng.
Ugh, scumbag!
Chen Cheng felt baffled for a moment and frowned.
Watching Xiao Ye's clingy behavior, Xu Huanshan raised his hand in front of his chest and quietly gave Chen Cheng a thumbs up.
A role model for our kind.
Chen Cheng gave him a look that said, "It's nothing, stay calm."
Gu Jia blinked and asked Xiao Ye, "Doesn't it affect your singing?"
Xiao Ye shook her head, "I can't say it doesn't affect it at all, but it's much better than smoking."
"But I can fall asleep without drinking now."
Gu Jia: "You have insomnia too?"
Xiao Ye: "Yeah. But it's better now."
The two women were chatting, while Chen Cheng and Xu Huanshan were clinking glasses.
"Come, Old Chen, let's have one."
"Hey, Old Xu, are you keeping fish in there?"
"..."
As they drank, Scum Cheng started to get restless.
His eyes met Gu Jia's intentionally or unintentionally.
After having another drink with the slightly tipsy Xu Huanshan, Chen Cheng's lips curled up, and as he crossed his legs, his slipper fell off onto the floor.
He reached out towards the person opposite him.
Gu Jia was wearing a long house dress, her slender, beautiful legs resting naturally under the table.
The moment she felt the touch, Gu Jia's eyes widened, and she looked at Chen Cheng with a terrified expression.
She then hurriedly turned to look at Xu Huanshan, fearing that she might attract his attention.
Seeing that Xu Huanshan was still talking incessantly to Chen Cheng.
Gu Jia's first reaction was to breathe a sigh of relief, rather than telling on Xu Huanshan, flipping the table, or slapping Chen Cheng.
She turned back and glared fiercely at Chen Cheng. She glanced at Xiao Ye, with a strong sense of warning in her eyes.
If you mess around again, I'll tell your girlfriend.
Obviously, Gu Jia underestimated the shamelessness of Scum Cheng.
Scum Cheng continued his blind exploration.
After a long while, a muffled grunt suddenly exploded in the air.
"Ah~"
"What's wrong, honey?"
Xu Huanshan was already a bit tipsy, his face flushed red. Hearing Gu Jia cry out, he immediately regained a shred of clarity and turned his head to care for Gu Jia.
Gu Jia hurriedly shook her head, "I'm fine!"
"If you're fine, why are you making such a fuss?" Xu Huanshan rolled his eyes at her and complained, "We have guests at home."
"I..."
Gu Jia was choked by his words. She wanted to lash out but forced herself to swallow the words back.
She smiled awkwardly, "I accidentally choked on a bone."
Xu Huanshan shook his head, turned back to look at Chen Cheng, and raised his glass, "Come, Old Chen, Xiao Ye, let's keep drinking."
Chen Cheng smiled brightly and clinked his glass with his.
"A toast to our talented General Manager Xu."
As soon as these words entered his ears, Xu Huanshan felt even more elated.
"Drink!"
Chen Cheng drank while busy with the business under the table.
Gu Jia glared at Chen Cheng with resentment; her fair face was almost bleeding red.
This person's legs were too long; if she didn't stop him, he would be unscrupulous.
If she tried to restrain him, it would only make it easier for him to do bad things.
Gu Jia was somewhat breathless with anger and full of helplessness; she could only silently endure it.
After a long while, it was Xu Ziyan on the side who saved her.
"Mom, I don't want to eat anymore."
This sound startled Chen Cheng as well, and his leg twitched subconsciously.
"Mmm~" Gu Jia hurriedly covered her mouth.
Seeing that he let go, Gu Jia secretly breathed a sigh of relief, forced a smile on her face, and turned to look at Xu Ziyan.
"If you don't want to eat anymore, go play."
"Mmm~" Xu Ziyan nodded in his milky voice, climbed off the chair, and ran back to his room with a patter.
These adults drinking, it really stinks.
Watching Xu Ziyan's back, Gu Jia suddenly realized that she had clearly had many opportunities to escape just now.
She blinked, shifted her seat quietly, and sat in the spot where Xu Ziyan had just been.
After sitting down, she gave Chen Cheng a provocative look.
No matter how long your legs are, you can't reach over Xiao Ye to cause trouble now.
Hmph!
Chen Cheng felt a little disappointed to see his prey run away.
He was having so much fun.
Aish...
Gu Jia started chatting with Xiao Ye, "Xiao Ye, do you have any new songs recently?"
Xiao Ye's eyes widened, her lips curled up slightly, and she turned to look at Chen Cheng, "You have to ask him about that."
"Huh?" Gu Jia was stunned for a moment, and somewhat confusedly followed her gaze to look at Chen Cheng.
Xiao Ye smiled, "Actually, all those songs of mine were written by him."
Xu Huanshan was muddled and reacted a bit slowly, "What? Old... *hiccup*... Old Chen, you can write songs too?"
Chen Cheng, without blushing or skipping a beat, waved his hand, "Just a little bit~"
"Just a little bit~"
