Gu Jia looked at Xiao Ye in disbelief, waiting for her explanation.

A smile played on the corners of Xiao Ye's lips, and she nodded very seriously, "The song I released, the male voice in the duet is him."

"That Chen Jianan persona is his."

"What?" Gu Jia's eyes immediately went wide.

"Oh, come on," Xiao Ye waved her hand, "You don't believe me?"

Gu Jia nodded without even thinking.

She turned her head and cast a subtle, disdainful glance at Chen Cheng. How could this scoundrel possibly write such emotional lyrics and music?

Xiao Ye looked at the projector screen that hadn't been retracted after watching the fireworks video earlier.

She turned to Chen Cheng and suggested, "How about we sing?"

Gu Jia refused to believe it; before Chen Cheng could even respond, she grabbed the tablet and connected it to the projector.

Chen Cheng and Xiao Ye exchanged a glance and shrugged. The projector was already on; what else could he say?

Xiao Ye also smiled and raised her eyebrows, turning to look at Gu Jia, "Sister Jia, which one do you like?"

Gu Jia thought for a moment, "Hmm... 'Lover Missed', I guess. Every time I listen to it, I get a special feeling."

Chen Cheng frowned and looked at Gu Jia. Are you sure it's not because you accidentally cheated and feel guilty, which is why every time you listen to this song, it feels like you're mourning your youth?

Xiao Ye rested her chin on her hand on the dining table, her eyes looking a bit dazed, "Then let's sing that one."

Chen Cheng took a sip of water while listening to the intro.

"I must have~ told you I loved you hundreds of years ago~"

"It's just that you forgot~ and I didn't remember either~"

"I must have~ told you I loved you hundreds of years ago~"

"It's just that you forgot~ and I didn't remember either~"

Gu Jia's eyes went straight; she was deeply shocked.

I don't understand!

How could this song be sung by this scoundrel?

Gu Jia felt like something was stuck in her throat.

After Chen Cheng finished the intro, Xiao Ye immediately picked up her female part:

"Passed by, walked by, but never met~"

"..."

After the song finished, Chen Cheng looked at Gu Jia, smiled, and raised an eyebrow, "How was it?"

Gu Jia finally snapped out of her daze. Meeting Chen Cheng's eyes, she immediately remembered the good deed this bad guy had just done.

She curled her lips slightly and said, "It was just average~"

Chen Cheng rolled his eyes at her; the duck's cooked, yet she's still stubborn!

After singing two more songs, Chen Cheng stopped and started chatting with Xu Huanshan while drinking.

Seeing that he wasn't singing anymore, Gu Jia inexplicably felt a sense of loss.

She sighed and got up to clear the table.

After cleaning the table, Gu Jia brought over some dried fruit, peanuts, and ham to go with the drinks.

Chen Cheng and Xu Huanshan finished a bottle of Moutai and finished the remaining red wine from Xiao Ye and Gu Jia.

Xu Huanshan still wasn't satisfied, so he opened another bottle of red wine and poured it into a decanter.

Chen Cheng didn't stop him.

Gu Jia didn't seem prepared to stop him either; she put down the plate of ham and sat directly opposite Chen Cheng.

The moment their eyes met, Scum Cheng already understood.

The alcohol had gone to Gu Jia's head, and she was already starting to act on instinct...

She was itching~

He had to help her scratch it.

Scum Cheng's lips curled up slightly, and he continued to play the two-person game.

After drinking for another half hour, Xu Huanshan rested his elbows on the table, his fists against his shoulders, and his head tilted to the side as he fell asleep.

Xiao Ye's eyes were dazed, and suddenly hearing Xu Huanshan's snoring, she giggled and glanced at Gu Jia.

Gu Jia was suddenly flustered and hurriedly pulled her hand away...

She pretended to be calm and smiled awkwardly, "He doesn't usually drink much. He was happy today, so he had a bit too much."

Xiao Ye smiled brightly, "It's fine... *hiccup*~" As she spoke, she let out a hiccup herself.

"Whew~" She took a deep breath to suppress the urge to vomit.

She turned and hugged Chen Cheng's arm, "Honey, let's go back too. Old Xu is asleep, so let's let him get some rest."

Chen Cheng's expression remained normal, wearing a faint smile, and he nodded slightly, "Okay."

After speaking, he stood up, glanced at Xu Huanshan, and asked Gu Jia, "Should I help you carry him back to the room?"

Gu Jia's face was flushed, and she swallowed, nodding, "Okay!"

"Thank you!"

Chen Cheng rubbed Xiao Ye's head, "Baby, wait for me a moment."

Xiao Ye rested her cheeks on her clenched fists and softly said, "Mm."

Chen Cheng walked over and hoisted up Xu Huanshan, "Old Xu, wake up, let's go back to the room to sleep."

Xu Huanshan smacked his lips, but showed no signs of waking up.

Gu Jia, helpless, hoisted up his other arm from the other side.

The two of them carried Xu Huanshan back to the bedroom just like that.

Putting him on the bed, Gu Jia looked at Xu Huanshan's face, a hint of clarity returning to her eyes, and she felt a bit self-reproachful.

Gu Jia helped Xu Huanshan take off his slippers, covered him with the quilt, and stood up, only to be met with Chen Cheng's scrutinizing gaze.

She was immediately alert, crossed her arms over her chest, took a step back, and looked at Chen Cheng vigilantly, "What are you doing?"

"Doing?" Chen Cheng, with a hidden smile at the corners of his mouth, looked stunned for a moment.

Gu Jia immediately realized what she had said and spat, "Scoundrel~"

Chen Cheng looked at her flushed face, seductive eyes, and her face filled with desire, and scoffed.

He didn't move his feet; he stood where he was, leaned towards her, and blew a breath into her ear.

"Mmm~" Gu Jia groaned uncontrollably.

Scum Cheng's lips curled up slightly, and he whispered, "If you're really uncomfortable, come up and find me. This young master will do everything in his power to help you resolve all your troubles, my beauty."

His tone was soft and slow, like an ancient demon lord whispering seductively in her ear, "Remember, don't knock on the door~"

"You have to call~"

After speaking, Chen Cheng stood up straight and cast an ambiguous look at Gu Jia.

Without waiting for her reaction, he turned and left the master bedroom suite.

Walking to the dining room, he looked at Xiao Ye, who had also fallen asleep, and smiled helplessly.

This girl didn't have a high tolerance for alcohol; she just had a slightly better tolerance level.

She could stay clear-headed for a while even when drunk, but as soon as there was no one around to talk to, no sound, she would just shut down.

A doting smile hung on Chen Cheng's lips as he walked over, scooped her up, and left 1201.

Ever since Chen Cheng finished speaking, Gu Jia had been stunned, her heart struggling endlessly.

On one hand, there was the drive of instinct; on the other, there was her remaining reason.

It was late at night, and the whole world seemed exceptionally quiet.

After a 'click' sound came from the direction of the entrance, Gu Jia suddenly went limp all over and sat down on the carpet by the bed.

"Whew~" She let out a heavy sigh of relief.

She was really afraid that Chen Cheng would do something else.

What she feared even more was herself, afraid that she wouldn't be able to resist the temptation of this devil-like man.

It's all the same act, but the difference between a caterpillar and 24K is just too great.

Back at 1301, Chen Cheng carried Xiao Ye into the master bathroom.

It wasn't like last time with Gu Jia, who was still a stranger.

With Xiao Ye, Chen Cheng had no reservations and placed her in the bathtub.

He prepared to help her take a bath before letting her sleep.

She was covered in the smell of alcohol and stank; if he didn't wash her, he'd have to wash the sheets and quilt cover tomorrow.

After a quick wash, he carried her and placed her on the bed.

After making sure she was tucked in, Chen Cheng stroked the sleeping Xiao Ye, his eyes doting, his lips curled up slightly, and he turned off the bedside lamp before leaving the bedroom.

He went to the wine cabinet, grabbed a glass, poured a small half-glass of whiskey, and sat on the recliner in the living room facing the Huangpu River.

He was waiting, waiting to see if Gu Jia would come.
