Gu Xinzhou didn't expect Song Zhen to say something like that.
Her beautiful eyes widened in surprise as she looked at him, only to find that he was looking back at her.
Yet Song Zhen's gaze was teasing, with a sharpness that, in Gu Xinzhou's opinion, made him very punchable!
She couldn't help but remember hitting him twice today, and her gaze lingered on his cheeks over and over again.
Hmm.
Being a woman, she still had been too gentle with her slaps.
Why couldn't she see any sign of it so soon?
A fleeting annoyance flashed across Gu Xinzhou's eyes, which Song Zhen accurately captured.
She deliberately avoided his gaze and turned to Cassie with a gentle voice, "Although you have a lot of wine over there, it might not suit Dad's taste.
Why don't we take Dad to Italy next time?
Let him pick out his favorite wines to bring back from the cellar."
Cassie patted her small hand, soothing her, "All right! I'll listen to you!"
Gu Xinzhou's fingertips stiffened, but her face was sweetly smiling.
At first glance, she was the picture of a woman blissfully in love.
Her phone vibrated on the table.
She checked it and her heart skipped a beat!
When had she added Song Zhen on WeChat? How did she not know?
In a message on WeChat, Song Zhen said, "Applied medicine, then added an ice pack."
Gu Xinzhou turned her phone face down on the table, not looking at it anymore.
Her heart was still somewhat shaken.
After five years, had Song Zhen mastered the Mind Reading Technique?
The phone vibrated again.
Out of curiosity, she flipped it over and opened the message.
Song Zhen: I don't have Mind Reading Technique, I'm just good at reading you.
Damn it!
Gu Xinzhou's cheeks began to heat up!
Meanwhile, Song Zhen gazed at her blushingly charming appearance, his eyes shimmering with a brilliance that sparkled like fireworks.
Gu Xinzhou clenched her fist tightly, firmly believing the heat was from her anger, not shyness.
Fearful that others would misunderstand the reason for her blushing.
She hurriedly said, "I'm still not good at drinking alcohol, and this wine is making me feel a bit dizzy."
Gu Yibo glanced at her and laughed indulgently, "Right? Your little face is all flushed, haha!"
Song Zhen replied, "You haven't had a drink yet, have you?
The wine is still in the decanter, we haven't poured it yet.
What wine have you been drinking?"
Zhuang Xiuya also chimed in, "Isn't the wine still undistributed?"
Gu Xinfei said gently as well, "Besides, even if we had poured the wine, it wouldn't make one's face turn red so quickly, right?"
Gu Xinzhou felt a bit foolish.
Why did her clever little brain always freeze up and turn to mush in the presence of Song Zhen, leaving her unable to think?
With such a large decanter in front of her, was she blind?
Song Zhen's lips curved up, as he was about to say something.
But someone beat him to it!
Cassie spoke with a smile, "Before we started dinner, Xiaozhou had a few drinks for the sake of tonight's perfect gathering."
Gu Yibo laughed, "So that's it."
The waiter came to pour the wine, and Gu Yibo and Cassie clinked glasses, officially starting the dinner.
Tonight's dishes were extraordinarily exquisite, it was clear that Cassie had put a lot of thought into choosing the menu.
Zhuang Xiuya, on the other hand, was staring at Gu Xinfei, her eyes asking questions.
Gu Xinfei was also patting her under the table, signaling for her to stay calm.
Regarding what Song Zhen had said earlier about bringing wine, it was clear he had bolstered Gu Xinzhou's presence and slapped their faces.
As the future mother-in-law, Zhuang Xiuya was naturally displeased.
Oddly enough, Song Zhen had not glanced at them at all throughout the evening, even when they encountered each other downstairs and rode the elevator together, Song Zhen had merely greeted them politely before continuing his conversation with Gu Yibo.
Zhuang Xiuya couldn't help but look at Song Zhen.
She felt there was something different between her daughter and him.
Song Zhen still did not drink alcohol.
He asked the waiter for two cups of hot milk, pointing at Gu Xinzhou, "One for me, one for her."
