At this mont, Guo Feng pulled out a box from his sleeve and handed it to Yang Qiu, saying, "This is a eting gift my wife picked for you. Initially, we planned to give it to you once you visited the Guo Mansion, but since you can’t go, I’ll give it to you now."
Yang Qiu found it a bit strange. For a eting gift from the young lady of the Guo Family, why did the young master keep it on him at all tis? Although puzzled, she thought it was inappropriate to ask. She knew better than to casually accept gifts from others, so she quickly refused, "Young master Guo, thank your wife on my behalf, but I’ll pass on the eting gift, I won’t accept it."
Guo Feng hadn’t expected Yang Qiu to refuse. He thought it would be easy to give away the eting gift.
The reason he kept the eting gift on himself was that he hadn’t figured out how exactly to solve this matter—whether to send Xiaotian away or prevent Yang Qiu from going to the Guo Mansion. Thus, he carried it with him.
Now that Yang Qiu refused to accept it, he had to pretend he was troubled by not being able to give away the eting gift, and said, "Miss Yang, it’s not anything valuable; you should take it. Otherwise, I won’t have an explanation for my wife when I return."
"Well..." Yang Qiu was a bit embarrassed, seeing Guo Feng with such a sincere look. She reluctantly accepted the box, thinking to reciprocate the gift later, "Then thank your wife on my behalf."
Seeing Yang Qiu had accepted, Guo Feng continued to suggest, "How about I host today, and we all gather for a al? Miss Yang, please don’t postpone anymore."
Guo Feng extended the invitation once more. Since they couldn’t go to his ho, at least they should dine out together, lest Xiangxiang complains again about his lack of care for Yang Qiu.
"Alright then." Yang Qiu agreed, knowing she shouldn’t delay any longer.
Thus, the group left the Dyeing Workshop, and Guo Feng chose a venue, avoiding Yuelai Restaurant, leading everyone to dine at another place.
Yang Qiu brought along six people, three n and three won. Including Guo Feng, they were eight people in total.
They found a super large private room, and everyone settled down, ordering dishes.
At first, everyone ate with restraint, given they were dining with young master Guo.
However, as the al progressed and they had a few drinks, people started to change.
Especially the three n accompanying Yang Qiu, after drinking so wine, began to feel tipsy, paying no regard to Guo Feng’s status, they began taking turns to toast to Guo Feng, ultimately getting drunk and toasting to brotherhood with him.
Guo Feng was no stranger to such scenes; he kept drinking along with everyone. He hadn’t anticipated getting drunk, but reality was, the alcohol hit him, and he ended up drunk too.
The al lasted a long ti, until it was sowhat dark outside.
Watching those four swaying n, soone from the group asked, "Miss Yang, with them drinking like this, what should we do now?"
Yang Qiu furrowed her brow; she hadn’t expected things to turn out this way. Yet, they couldn’t just stay put in the restaurant, so they needed a plan to take everyone back to their lodging. She stood up and went to find Xiao’er to get soone from the restaurant to help escort these four out.
The carriage was waiting outside, Yang Qiu arranged for Guo Feng to take one carriage alone, while the others got into another.
Yang Qiu was just about to board the carriage and go back with everyone when soone worriedly asked, "Miss Yang, will young master Guo manage to take the carriage back by himself? Will there be any issues?"
Yang Qiu pondered, thinking there shouldn’t be a problem with the coachman present, but just then the coachman approached, "Miss Yang, could you help look after my young master? Once we arrive at the Guo Family, I’ll take you back."
