Qiao Xi’s eyes instantly lit up, and her cheeks turned red as she looked at Gu Zheng with pleasant surprise. “Ah Zheng! Are you really bringing me to see Han Ye?”
Gu Zheng looked at her hopeful gaze and smiled dotingly. “Yes.”
After giving Mrs. Gu so many hints, she still could not figure it out. By the time she guessed Han Ye’s identity, it would probably be too late.
However, he really did not understand why Mrs. Gu was so smart at times and so cute at others.
When everyone was almost done eating, Qiao Xi and Gu Zheng stood up and left. While the two of them were gone, Shen Yu looked around and pulled Luo Qing’s sleeve. He said in a low voice, “I have something to tell you.”
“Tell me.”
Shen Yu hesitated with a subtle expression. “Third Brother told me that Little Six asked him for medicine the last time.”
Luo Qing asked, “What medicine?”
It had been a few months since the incident. Shen Yu only found out about this now. He said in a complicated tone, “It’s that kind of medicine… Ahem… It’s the medicine for men to take. Gu Zheng doesn’t seem to be capable in that area.”
When Luo Qing, who had always been calm, heard this news, the corners of his mouth twitched. Then, he revealed a confused expression. “You mean… they’ve been married for so long but haven’t done it?”
“Little Six is still young. She might not care about this, but if she wants to do it in the future and Gu Zheng can’t, will something bad happen?”
Shen Yu had a heavy expression. “Is Third Brother’s medicine effective? Little Six is a girl. We can’t just ask Gu Zheng if he’s impotent. As big brothers, it’s not appropriate for us to ask directly. If Gu Zheng loses his dignity, he’ll inevitably take his anger out on Little Six. After all, this concerns a man’s dignity. No man can withstand such humiliation.”
Luo Qing looked up slightly. “Why don’t… we let him try this medicine?”
After Qiao Xi and Gu Zheng sat down again, Qiao Xi could not help but feel that her two brothers were acting strange. Why were they getting her and Gu Zheng to drink?
After dinner, Qiao Xi was already drunk to the point her entire body was limp. Her face was red as she lay on the table.
Shen Yu hurriedly said, “Little Six, it’s getting late. You and Gu Zheng should go upstairs and rest. We’re full too.”
Qiao Xi’s eyes were slightly dazed as she held the wine glass in her hand and said loudly, “Brother, let’s continue drinking!”
Seeing that she was already drunk, Shen Yu turned to look at Gu Zheng. “President Gu, Little Six is drunk. She must be feeling unwell. Help her take a shower and rest early.”
At this moment, Gu Zheng had already noticed the subtle changes in his body. He did not know where Qiao Xi’s two brothers heard such rumors, which motivated them to secretly drug him.
Gu Zheng carried Qiao Xi back to the bedroom and gently placed her on the bed. Then, he went to the bathroom to fill the bathtub with water and said softly, “Xi Xi, go take a shower.”
Her head was dizzy, and she did not have any strength left in her body. She only snorted and turned her head to ignore him.
Gu Zheng bent down and whispered in her ear, “Mrs. Gu, your two brothers seem to have misunderstood. Shouldn’t you help me explain the trouble you caused?”
Qiao Xi opened her sleepy eyes and looked at him with a confused expression. “What misunderstanding?”
Gu Zheng looked at her red cheeks and dazed eyes. The restlessness in his body grew stronger and stronger. He could not help but reach out and pull her into his arms, feeling her soft body and hot body.
The man’s lips curled up slightly in an extremely satisfied smile. “Actually, there’s no need to explain. I’ll prove myself with my actions.”
Qiao Xi’s mind was in a mess, and she really did not understand Gu Zheng’s words. Gu Zheng had already picked her up and slowly walked to the bathroom.
Gu Zheng gently placed her into the water and lay her down in the warm water. The surroundings were filled with steam, causing Qiao Xi to sober up a little. What exactly did her brothers misunderstand?
They were worried that Gu Zheng would not treat her well, or perhaps Gu Zheng had some secret. That was why they specially came to Longwan Residential to seek an explanation from Gu Zheng.
After dinner, their attitude toward Gu Zheng had clearly softened a lot. It meant that the misunderstanding had been resolved. Since that was the case, what else was there to explain?
Qiao Xi lay in the bathtub and thought for a long time. Then, she suddenly reacted. Previously, she had told Xue Yi that Gu Zheng was not good in that aspect, so Xue Yi told Third Brother about it. The next day, Third Brother sent that medicine over.
Later on, she knew that she had misunderstood Gu Zheng, but she forgot to explain it to Third Brother. Actually, Gu Zheng was very capable!
