"Seventh, it’s rare for us to gather together, so don’t keep thinking about going back to rest."
Mr. Third had soone bring a few bottles of red wine and personally poured so for Gu Beicheng: "Co on, let’s drink to our heart’s content tonight."
Mr. also poured him so wine: "Drink more."
Later, Old Master took Old Madam back to rest, and the glasses of the gentlen as well as Young Masters Gu Yinan and Gu Lingqian were never empty.
As soon as they finished drinking, the servants would imdiately top them up, and eventually, the gentlen started pouring for themselves.
Gu Beicheng drank the most among them, with several brothers taking turns toasting to him, along with the younger generation from other tables.
The young ladies of the Gu family also took the chance to toast Uncle Beicheng, seemingly afraid that they toasted less than others, as if they would seem rude in front of Uncle.
Xia Yinian just quietly sat in her own seat, drinking her beverage.
Occasionally, when she looked up, she would inadvertently catch sight of Gu Beicheng sitting across from her.
Perhaps it was because he had drunk quite a bit, his rose-colored lips, moistened by the wine, radiated an enticing luster.
His thin lips were very attractive, their color so stunning that even won would be jealous.
His features too were truly delicate, handso, and beautiful...
Yinian didn’t know what she was thinking, but there was a mont when she found herself staring at Gu Beicheng’s face, utterly srized.
He was really handso, in a black dress shirt, unassuming yet noble in color, and black trousers that rendered his long legs even more sexy and appealing.
She had never seen a man this handso in her eighteen years of life; no one could compare to him.
He was so srizing, especially like now.
Just sitting there quietly, he seed to completely dominate the scene, and everyone’s gaze would uncontrollably drift toward him.
A born king, the most dazzling presence in the whole world...
Suddenly, that fierce yet charming gaze shot her way.
Xia Yinian was startled, hurriedly bowing her head and gripping her cup tightly, not daring to look up.
She hadn’t ant to stare at him; it was just a careless mont of gazing too long.
Everyone has a love for beauty! Who could ignore his stunning attractiveness?
But then, she thought about how awful he was when they were alone, and she wasn’t so infatuated with his looks anymore.
So evil, she wouldn’t be chard by him!
His elegance and nobility right now were just an illusion, absolutely an illusion!
"Nian Nian, go and toast Uncle," Gu Lingqian said, taking a glass of red wine from a servant and handing it to Xia Yinian.
Xia Yinian’s heart resisted, but she still took the cup and stood up.
Looking at Gu Beicheng sitting across, she maintained polite deanor: "Uncle, I toast to you."
Gu Beicheng leaned back in his chair, and it was obvious he had drunk too much.
In the depths of his deep starry eyes, there flickered a haze of alcohol, shimring, truly captivating.
Xia Yinian got lost watching him again unwittingly.
Reacting, she blushed and hurriedly bowed her head, not looking at him.
Gu Beicheng still leaned against the chair, making no move, just watching her.
This behavior made everyone at the table a bit puzzled—was this... a sign of not accepting the toast?
Xia Yinian also felt uneasy, glanced at Gu Lingqian sitting beside her.
Gu Lingqian imdiately smiled and smoothed things over: "Uncle must have really drunk too much, Nian Nian, let drink this on Uncle’s behalf."
