When Lu Beichen went in, he seemed to be a regular and knew the place well.

“I want the private room inside,” he said as he pointed to the innermost room.

The private room was Japanese-styled. They entered, sat on the tatami, and he began ordering naturally.

Gu Jingze didn’t seem to mind whatever he ordered.

After the dishes were served, everyone began eating.

Gu Jingyan said, “It was really fun today. Sister-in-law, let’s come out and hang out next time.”

“Yes. There’s no problem in asking Lin Che out. But Lin Che, don’t bring your husband anymore,” Lu Beichen grunted, still bearing a grudge on the recent event.

Gu Jingze said, “If you agree to a bet, you must accept the consequences. Why are you harping on it?”

“That’s because you used a dirty trick.”

“This is a lesson for you. The business industry is full of backstabbers. If you can’t even fend off a little dirty trick from me, how are you going to support Jingyan?”

“Heh. Fine, fine. I’m not as experienced as you. After all, you’ve been in this industry for so many years and you’ve never had any failures.” Talking about it, Lu Beichen really sympathized with his competitors. With such a fellow around, they must have really eaten plenty of dust.

Thankfully, the Lu family had always been close to the Gu family.

Lu Beichen also thought deep down that he must never stand on the opposing side of Gu Jingze.

Gu Jingyan said, “Alright. When we were little, we were played by Second Brother plenty of times. You just haven’t gotten used to it. It’ll be okay once you get used to it.”

Gu Jingyan looked at Lin Che. “You have no idea. When we were young, we had a private tutor come to our home. In the end, Second Brother suggested that all four of us go out to play. He told Gu Jingyu to pretend to have a stomachache to lure the tutor out; it was like luring a tiger out from its cave. After that, the rest of us secretly ran out. Father later found out about it and when we returned, we saw Second Brother sitting obediently there and reading his book. It turns out that before he ran out, he already made an agreement with the security at the entrance. If Father returned, the security would tell him while he would not tell us. He was worried that if Father had nobody to scold, he would investigate the matter and find out that he was the mastermind. As a result, the three of us were punished to write essays while he escaped guilt-free. Sigh…”

Lin Che said, “Wow, you were so cunning…”

Gu Jingze continued eating graciously. “This is called ‘all’s fair in war’.”

“…”

Gu Jingyan wanted to say something, but her hand was scalded.

“Ouch…” She tossed the cup and instinctively moved backward.

Lu Beichen quickly threw down his chopsticks. “What happened to you… Oh my. I say, Gu Jingyan. You’re a grown-up already but you can still get scalded. Let me take a look. Where did you get scalded?”

Lu Beichen quickly looked at her hand. Seeing that it was red, he bent his head and blew at it. At the same time, he said, “Look at you. That’s why I say that you never know how to be more cautious. Your attention is always divided. Now, look at what happened.”

“I scalded my hand and you’re still scolding me? Where is the love?”

“What’s the use of showing love to you?”

“Idiot, let go. I don’t need you to see.”

“Hey, I’m already looking at it. Give your hand to me. Let me see it.”

“Go away. I don’t need you to look.”

“I insist on seeing. Let me see!”

Just then, the waiter hurried in.

Looking at the two of them struggling, he didn’t dare to speak.
