Five minutes later, Gu Bo still stood at the same spot with a dark face, as if he had no intention of talking to Xin Nianyin.
After such a ruckus, even those women who wanted to seduce the Gu family's third young master tactfully avoided it.
Xin Nianyin didn't know whether to leave or to stay where she was. She almost wanted to dig a hole in the ground.
She didn't know how many times she had struggled in her heart before she stammered out a few words. If this continued, she would be embarrassed to death.
"Gu Qi Ji, you … Are you all right? "
Her voice was soft and low, and she didn't dare to get too close to him.
"Well, you can't tell?"
Gu Qi turned her head to look down at Xin Xinyin. Her voice was low and gloomy. Did she still know that she cared about him?
Also, why was she so far away? Was he a devil or a god of pests?
Xin Nianyin was momentarily at a loss for words. She unconsciously bit her lower lip. This was her habit, so she knew that it was her fault.
But now, he also wanted this woman to have a taste of yearning, so he didn't say anything. For a moment, the two of them fell into silence again.
Gu Bei had been paying attention to the situation between the two of them. It was all because of that girl, and she actually helped Gu Qi.
He couldn't remain indifferent, and the two of them definitely couldn't be reconciled so easily.
"So you guys are here. It really is easy for me to find you. The banquet is about to begin, and there are several people from the board over there who are always arguing about having a toast with you."
Gu Bei's face was full of smiles as he finished speaking, but he didn't forget to give Gu Bo Li a hand gesture.
With so many people present, Gu Jianming would normally give the old men some face and drink a glass or two.
However, things were different today, as he was in a bad mood. Not to mention Gu Qi's letter, even if his father came, he would still not give him face.
Although he said it so flawlessly, Gu Bo had been standing on the spot and had no intention of going over. It was clear that he was embarrassed. No matter how good of a temper Gu Qi had, she could not keep up her face.
Fortunately, the board members not far away could see the confrontation between the two.
The two brothers were at odds with each other, they could be considered people who had experienced a lot, so they still had the ability to observe the situation. In addition, Xin Nianyin had told them that no matter what, they would toast her in front of her.
No matter what, she was Gu Qi's legal wife, the third young mistress of the Gu family. Even if someone from the board of directors toasted her, no one would find it strange.
Furthermore, they had not only helped the CEO in the past, but had also helped Gu Bainian with the letter. With such a benevolent favor, this group of scheming foxes would definitely fight for it.
Gu Bei's letter had less than ten seconds of awkward time before the board members swarmed over like a swarm of bees.
"Director Gu, let me toast the two of you."
A bald old man was the first to speak. After he finished speaking, he raised his cup and drained the wine in it.
Gu Bei smiled gratefully. In this kind of occasion, Gu Bo's cynical and playful character had already become deeply ingrained in the hearts of the people.
But he wasn't. He couldn't ruin the image of a humble gentleman that he had painstakingly built up just because of such a small matter.
This bunch of old men had helped him.
Gu Bei didn't have much to say, so he took a symbolic sip.
Gu Qi didn't have the mood to pay attention to these old men. Perhaps it was because they were used to Gu Qi's temper, but they didn't get angry. Instead, they turned their attention to Xin Xinyin.
"I've long heard that the young madam is benevolent and has never had the opportunity to get to know the young madam properly. It's truly a blessing to meet you today, and I'd like to toast the young madam as well."
The bald man took the lead and the others followed suit. This way, it wouldn't make sense if Xin Xuanyin didn't drink this wine.
However, she was originally a person who got drunk just from drinking wine, and now that she was pregnant, she could not drink any more. Just when she was in a difficult situation, Gu Bei suddenly stood up and said in a gentleman's tone.
"Everyone, there's a special situation with Nian Yin. I'll help her drink this cup."
Gu Bei directly took the wine from Xin Nianyin's hand and prepared to drink it. However, just as the wine cup was about to reach his lips, it was suddenly taken away by someone.
"Second Brother is such a good person, you've overdone it. Xin Nianyin is my wife. Even if you want to drink this wine, you should let me drink from it."
After Gu Min finished speaking, she drained the wine cup in her hand. Before she could put down the empty wine cup, a black shadow suddenly appeared in front of her.
Soon after, his thin lips were lightly pressed against the woman's. This feeling was the most familiar one to him.
Before he knew what was going on, the familiar taste had left his lips.
Then, the waist which was as big as a male model's, was suddenly entangled by a pair of small hands.
The familiar smell of a woman came from her right shoulder. She didn't know when, but she gently tiptoed.
This way, her mouth would be just close enough to his ear.
"I'm sorry!"
Xin Nianyin quickly said in a voice that only two people could hear.
After saying so, she quickly placed her hand on Gu Bo's arm. Her movements were natural and smooth. No matter how one looked at it, it was a lovey scene of a loving couple.
Xin Nianyin felt a lot of eyes staring at her. She wasn't shy, even though her expression was calm. Only she knew. Her heart was beating like a drum.
She gathered up her courage and raised her head to look at the man who was still in a daze. Her small hand tugged at the corner of his shirt. "I'm sure I can't drink. Does this count as drinking everyone's toast?"
Having watched such a huge show for free, the few old fellows naturally could not say anything more and just laughed it off.
However, Gu Bei's pupils seemed as if they were about to spew fire. His hands were clenched into fists, and veins could be seen on the back of his hands.
Why did he have to care about such a good life? How much trouble did he have to put in in in order for Xin Nianyin to give up on him?
But now, he had actually lost to a glass of wine. This was his fate. He only needed to help Xin Nianyin block the wine cup and he would be able to get her kiss.
He did not believe that his life would continue to be so good.
"I'm sorry everyone, I just drank a lot, I really can't drink anymore. Next time, I will definitely drink to my heart's content with everyone."
In fact, apart from that glass of wine just now, Gu Bo had not touched a single drop of wine.
Even if everyone had their doubts, they didn't say anything more. After all, this young couple, in the eyes of others, was nothing short of a normal couple.
"Hehe, since that's the case, I'll have to trouble Young Madam to help Director Gu take a good rest. We won't disturb you any longer."
After the old men finished speaking, they all sensibly handed their wine cups to Gu Bei.
No matter what, he was still the son of the Gu family. It was the same no matter who he tried to curry favor with.
