CHAPTER 250: CHAPTER 250: TRY AGAIN

Gu Jinxiu sat next to Zhang Miaoyan. Seeing that the three ladies at the table all had someone serving them food except Zhang Miaoyan, he served her a piece of sweet and sour pork and said, "Sister Miaoyan, just let me know what you want to eat, no need to be polite."

Acting like a little gentleman.

Zhang Miaoyan was flattered, "Thank you, Jinxiu."

An Junxi laughed, "Jinxiu is sitting close to Sister Miaoyan, so he should take good care of her."

Gu Jinxiu responded, "Of course, I’m a gentleman." He used to not like Zhang Miaoyan, but now his opinion of her was changing; Zhang Miaoyan wasn’t as bad as his grandma said!

Zhang Miaoyan ate the food Gu Jinxiu served her and said, "Jinxiu has grown two years older and is more sensible than before."

Gu Jinxiu boasted, "You just didn’t know me well before, I’ve always been very sensible."

Gong Xiaoyu squinted her eyes and asked, "Jinxiu, you used to call me Sister Xiaoyu, why do you now call her Sister Miaoyan and call me Aunty?"

An Junxi was afraid Gu Jinxiu would say that the senior is a few years older than Miaoyan, the senior is most conscious about her age, so she quickly gave Gu Jinxiu a look to say some good words.

Gu Jinxiu, being a smart kid, remembered that his mom told him women like to hear that they look young, and it’s best not to remind them of their age. So he slowly said, "Because you are dating Uncle Yue, so you’re an aunt."

An Junxi nodded approvingly in a low key manner.

Gu Jinxiu smiled, showing a row of small white teeth.

Gong Xiaoyu reluctantly accepted Gu Jinxiu’s answer and said to Yue Xiaoyang, "See, being with you is making me old."

Yue Xiaoyang denied, "How are you old, you are still so beautiful."

Gong Xiaoyu felt down; she really wasn’t young anymore. Was she going to spend her whole life with Yue Xiaoyang like this?

No marriage, always feeling insecure.

She didn’t show her unhappiness. Yue Xiaoyang was in a good mood tonight. He had Xiao Luo open the wine he brought and said, "This is from my vineyard in France. Try it and give me some feedback. If it tastes good, I plan to supply it directly to domestic hotels."

Gong Xiaoyu had a bit of an attitude, "I thought you were here to see me, turns out you’re here for a wine tasting."

Yue Xiaoyang hurriedly said, "Of course I’m here to see you. I can’t sleep without you."

Xie Yuchen finally couldn’t stand it, "Yue Xiaoyang, can you be serious for once?"

Yue Xiaoyang unceremoniously retorted, "How could a single dog like you understand?"

Xiao Luo poured wine for the three men, while everyone else drank juice.

Xie Yuchen couldn’t wait for the wine to breathe; he took a sip to calm himself. He intended to say something to put Yue Xiaoyang down, but as the wine slipped down his throat, he was surprised by its bouquet.

He lifted his glass and examined the color of the wine seriously, offering a two-word evaluation: "Not bad."

Seeing that the high-standard Mr. Xie said it was not bad, Yue Xiaoyang asked Gu Yikun, "Yi Ke, what do you think?"

Gu Yikun tasted a sip carefully, "It could be supplied as a limited edition." May something scarce be precious.

Yue Xiaoyang was satisfied and said, "It’s not worse than the wine from your vineyard, right?"

An Junxi also wanted to have a taste, but Gu Yikun didn’t allow her, "The alcohol content is high, not suitable for you."

An Junxi tugged at his sleeve, "Just a little sip." They gave such high ratings to the wine; even though she couldn’t taste wine well, she wanted to try it.

Seeing her so insistent, Gu Yikun handed her his glass, "Just a little sip."

An Junxi touched it with her tongue, feeling nothing special.

She wanted to take another small sip, but Gu Yikun took the glass back, "That’s enough, you’ve tried it."

An Junxi felt speechless, "Why are you like this?"

Gu Yikun served her some soup, "Drink more soup, less wine, listen to the doctor."

Gu Jinxiu also advised her, "Mommy can’t drink alcohol."

An Junxi gave in to the father and son, "Alright, no drinking, I’ll drink the soup."

Gu Yikun patted her head, "That’s right."

Seeing An Junxi tried it, Gong Xiaoyu also wanted a taste, but Yue Xiaoyang had a good reason to stop her, "If I drink, I can’t drive. You’ll have to take me home later, so you can’t drink."

Gong Xiaoyu rolled her eyes; Young Master Yue always had his reasons.

Hearing what Yue Xiaoyang said, Zhang Miaoyan couldn’t help but remind Xie Yuchen, "Mr. Xie, don’t drink too much, I can’t drive."

Yue Xiaoyang deliberately chafed Xie Yuchen, saying to Zhang Miaoyan, "You can ride in our car, we’re on the way."

Xie Yuchen’s eyes shot icy daggers at Yue Xiaoyang. He poured Yue Xiaoyang more wine, "Young Master Yue has so much confidence in his vineyard’s wine, let’s see about his drinking capacity."

Yue Xiaoyang knew Xie Yuchen wanted to get him drunk, but he still drank several glasses; such an amount was simply a piece of cake for him.

Xie Yuchen also drank a few glasses and said, "Afterwards, I will also take your car, we’re on the way after all."

Only then did Yue Xiaoyang realize that Xie Yuchen wasn’t trying to get him drunk but rather wanted to hitch a ride. The purpose... no need to mention.

He patted Xie Yuchen’s shoulder twice, "You little rascal, you tricked even me."

Zhang Miaoyan couldn’t understand their conversation. Watching them put down their chopsticks after eating for a while, Xie Yuchen pulled Yue Xiaoyang to the terrace where they talked about something unknown and returned as good brothers with their arms around each other’s shoulders.

After dinner, Nanny He made hangover soup for them. Only Yue Xiaoyang and Xie Yuchen had drunk much; Gu Yikun just drank half a glass.

The men went to talk outside on the terrace. An Junxi went to the room to check if the child was still sleeping and asked Gu Jinxiu to do his homework first, while she stayed with the senior and Miaoyan to chat.

Only now did An Junxi find the time to ask Zhang Miaoyan, "What’s the deal between you and Xie Yuchen?"

Zhang Miaoyan replied, "Nothing’s going on."

An Junxi asked her, "Does he still think you really forgot him after getting hurt two years ago?"

Gong Xiaoyu choked on her fruit. After coughing a few times and finally catching her breath, she said, "Did I hear wrong? Zhang Miaoyan, did you pretend to forget him two years ago? Jun Xi, you knew as well?"

An Junxi had forgotten that the senior didn’t know about this, "This..."

Zhang Miaoyan calmly admitted, "I’ve been pretending to forget him all along, pretending he was just a normal friend I met later."

"You two have no loyalty, keeping this from me." Gong Xiaoyu angrily clutched the sofa cushion.

An Junxi laughed and confessed, "At the time, we were afraid you’d let it slip to Yue Xiaoyang. Later, so much happened that I forgot to tell you."

Gong Xiaoyu was most upset with Zhang Miaoyan, "And you, for more than two years I kept you company while shopping, looking at houses, and cheering you up; you kept this from me?"

Zhang Miaoyan explained, "I didn’t intend to lie to you. I thought there was no chance with him, so I didn’t want to bring it up again, thinking everyone had forgotten."

An Junxi spoke for Zhang Miaoyan, "She’s been in a painful unrequited love with Xie Yuchen, please forgive her."

Gong Xiaoyu sighed deeply, "Why are we both so miserable?"

Zhang Miaoyan comforted Gong Xiaoyu, "Xiao Yang truly loves you. You need more time to reach the end, don’t give up."

Sometimes, Gong Xiaoyu didn’t know if her perseverance was correct. An Junxi brought the topic back to Zhang Miaoyan, "If you can’t forget him, try to fight for it again."
