Chapter 162 - 162 A Good Wine

Lexus went to a counter and opened a cabinet only to pull a bottle of wine and two wine glasses. He put some ice cubes in the wine glass, which was prepared for them beforehand, before pouring down the wine. He twirled his glass of wine in his hand while handing the other glass to Gu Chen. 

"Thanks." Gu Chen smiled and took the glass. The instant the wine came close to him, his nostrils was immediately filled with the strong and thick aroma of good wine. Just from the smell of it was enough for Gu Chen to know the quality of it. His smile broadened and nodded his head in praise. 

"Damn, brother Lexus! This is a Ampoule from Penfolds ah! Good, good. I am so grateful for this favor." Gu Chen laughed as his eyes closed to savor the aroma of the good wine. His slowly opened his eyes that were glittering in anticipation. He took a sip of it and the wine hit him hard. "Yeah, definitely good...great."

Lexus leaned on the counter with a dead look on his face while looking at Gu Chen as if saying 'This guy's going nuts again.'

Gu Chen saw this yet he only shrugged it off and continued to savor the wine. As he was doing this, he heard Lexus with a very displeased tone.

"So what exactly are you doing here?" Lexus asked with a sharp look in his eyes. It was as if it a sharp sword pointed at Gu Chen's neck. He was really pissed that he had to accompany this bastard. He would rather spend some idle time with his beloved wife rather than with a man.

"Your eyes really is hurtful." Gu Chen rolled his eyes. He knew all too well what Lexus was thinking. He ignored the sharp gaze penetrating in his skin and walked toward the opened window with his one hand holding the wine and the other in his pocket.

"Yeah? Then go home already." Lexus clicked his tongue and was really getting impatient. He wanted to toss Gu Chen out of his house already. He already had Mother Song and Ma Rong to compete with the small time with his wife but this guy had also butted in and wanted to take up his time. 

Gu Chen turned only to saw the livid look of Lexus' face filled with scorn. Instead of getting intimidated with this, Gu Chen had even laughed out loud at this. His laughter was so loud as if he had just heard the funniest joke ever. His stomach started to hurt and his shoulders were shaking in rhythm with his laughter. 

"Hahaha. Brother Lex, I did not know that your face could distort so much like that. It was so hilarious. Ah~! My stomach hurts from laughing." Gu Chen's face were flushed from his laughter. He then wiped the corner of his eyes and looked at Lexus with a carefree and toothy smile. 

Lexus' face was already dark like charcoal. His was filled with murderous attempt. He was really regretting having to get close to this fellow. He was so angry that if not for his great self-control, the glass in his hand would have either been crashed to pieces in his hand or been thrown at Gu Chen's irritating face.

Finally, Gu Chen had noticed the unfavorable situation he was in. They were alone in the study and this was the mansion of Lexus. In other words, if Lexus would do something to him, then no one would know of it. 

Talk about such a best friend. Who would think so badly like this regarding his "best friend?" Gu Chen would probably be only person who would have this kind of train of thought. 

But then again, Lexus was no different. 

Lexus and Gu Chen were really friends. Both have their own twisted thoughts that no normal human being would think about.

"Go home." Lexus growled.

Gu Chen lightly shook his head and took another sip of wine. "Can you give me some of those wines?"

"Yes. Just go home." 

"Oh. Thanks, brother Lex. You're really good to me." Gu Chen had his eyes sprakling in delight at this. He did not expect that Lexus would readily agreed to it. If he pushed a little more, will he extort more? 

As soon as this thought crossed his mind, he heard Lexus' voice was if it was the sound of death. 

"If you want to get out of this place without a scratch, then I would not think funny if I were you."

With a forced laugh, Gu Chen broke out into cold sweat. 

"Can't you just give me a little more? One bottle is not enough."

"You really are tired of living. Do you want me to send you off right now?" Lexus squintent his eyes while gazing at Gu Chen as if he looking at a dead person.

"Brother Lexus, I was just joking. Joking ah. Don't take it so seriously." Gu Chen was seriously disappointed when he was not able to take home a lot of bottles of wine. Well, at least he could get a battle of it for free from the stingy Lexus. Only, his thinking was instantly crashed into pieces by the next words he heard from Lexus.

"Don't forget to wire me the payment for the bottle of wine." Lexus smirked evilly.

"What the f*ck! Brother Lexus, why are you making me pay for it? That's hella expensive ah!" Gu Chen was startled. It was not that he does not have any money to afford the wine, it was just that he does not want to pull out his own money when he knew that he could get it for free from Lexus. "Brother Lexus, spare me ah. I don't have a beautiful wife like yours and does not have any girlfriend. You already have everything."

Talk about cunning. 

Gu Chen secretly smiled and posed a victory pose in his mind when he saw the shift in Lexus' eyes. He was able to use the cards right, throwing in the "your wife is really beautiful." He knew that Lexus dotes in his wife yet he did not expect this cold and ruthless man to be this severely doting with his wife. However, this was in favor with him. 

"You are torturing me enough already. Sister-in-law is really gorgeous and she is also a working lady with a good reputation. She's also strong and had a very good personality. All in all, she's perfect." Gu Chen said in a really flattering voice and got closer to Lexus. Seeing no reaction from the cold man, he clicked his wine glass with Lexus' and added, "You two are really perfect for each other ah. I am so envious."

Lexus looked at Gu Chen's flattering smile. He knew that this annoying man was only spouting out such flowery words but that does not mean that he hated it. In fact, he loved hearing it. Hearing someone else praising his wife was like a compliment to him as well. He took pride to being October's husband. Also, he was hit right on the spot when Gu Chen added the "perfect for each other" phrase. 

"Mm. I know you're just trying to get some free wine from me but because of your praises for my wife, I will turn a blind eye to this." Lexus nonchalantly said and a small smile was on his lips when he noticed the frozen and stiff smile of Gu Chen.

Gu Chen cursed Lexus in his heart. He had never met someone as stingy as Lexus. But then again, Lexus had always been like that. Realizing this, Gu Chen sighed in defeat.

"I'll give you two bottles." Lexus said and downed the wine in one go. Immediately after that, a burning sensation trailed down his throat with a sweet aftertaste. He looked at the bottle of wine silently standing in the counter with an approving gaze. 

'Yes, definitely a good wine.' Lexus thought. At this moment, a stunning face of a woman flashed across his mind's eye. It was October with a sweet smile and bright eyes. He then reconfirmed that his wife was more addicting than any wine. Just a kiss from her was enough for him to get drunk, unlike the wine in his hand that would not at all affect him.

Hearing this, Gu Chen felt like he heard Lexus wrong. But that right now was as clear as day so he did not hear him wrong, right? Right?!

Gu Chen felt like he was in euphoria. He laughed and almost did a victory pose. He just got himself two bottles of wine worth hundreds of thousand dollars.
