She was tricked into marriage for three years, then remarried a childless, tough guy and became preg

"Boss Gu, we'd like to ask for a drink."

Shen Tang also jumped down from the stage, smiling as she spoke.

"Where's Huo Xiuyuan? Why didn't he come?" Gu Siming asked.

"He's busy with military matters and can't get away," Shen Tang said. "That's why I had to entertain Sister Manny and Sister Zhiyi!"

"Sister Manny wanted to drink red wine, and I thought your wine is the most authentic, so I brought her here!"

Shen Tang had no intention of hiding it; even if Huo Xiuyuan found out, she would act first and inform him later.

If you want to drink, this is the best place for Gu Siming. It won't disturb others, and you don't have to worry about being seen and having a bad influence.

The Paramount Ballroom is closed during the day and has no customers. Their arrival is practically a private event.

Moreover, they are all our own people and can be trusted.

Gu Siming smiled and said, "Huo Xiuyuan definitely doesn't know."

"Whether he knows or not is irrelevant. Your sister Manny is here, aren't you going to entertain her? I didn't know you owned a nightclub. If I had known, I would have come myself."

Lin Manni looked around the nightclub and asked, "Where's the alcohol?"

Gu Siming said helplessly, "Come with me."

He then turned to his henchmen and said, "Go to Baiyueju and get some meat-based dishes to go with your drinks."

"Okay, sure," the younger brother replied, about to leave.

Gu Siming added, "Wait, go put up a notice at the door saying we're closed today. You should all take a break too!"

The young man said with a big smile, "Okay, thank you, boss!"

Gu Siming led the person to his office.

Lin Manni glanced at the wines on the cabinet as soon as she entered the room and frowned.

"Gu Siming, bring out the good stuff."

Gu Siming smiled. "Okay. Wait here."

He turned and went through the door, returning shortly with a box in his arms.

He took out several bottles of red wine, and Lin Manni looked at them and smiled, "These are the good stuff."

"It's open." Lin Manni sat down on the sofa.

Shen Tang leaned closer to Lin Manni and whispered, "Did you two ever date?"

Lin Manni laughed and said, "He wanted to, but I didn't agree."

Shen Tang stared at Lin Manni in shock.

Sister, you are a role model for us all!

Gu Siming naturally heard this, and he said helplessly, "I was fifteen or sixteen years old at the time, the age when I was just beginning to fall in love. When I first saw Sister Manny, I thought she was Huo Xiuyuan's sister."

Gu Siming had already opened the red wine, took out a stemmed glass and poured the wine into it. The aroma of the wine was intoxicating.

"Huo Xiuyuan, that cold ice block, didn't even introduce himself, and then..." Gu Siming handed the wine glass to Shen Tang, "I secretly followed Sister Manny for a long time, only to find out later that she was actually Huo Xiuyuan's mother."

Gu Siming poured another glass and handed it to Lin Manni, her ears still red.

Lin Manni took the wine glass, swirled it gently, and said, "Little sister doesn't like that."

She tilted her head back and slowly drank the wine.

"And now?" Gu Siming asked with a not-so-serious smile.

"Now..." Lin Manni looked him up and down, "I'm too old. I only like girls between 22 and 26."

Shen Tang couldn't help but laugh.

My sister is awesome!

Gu Siming nodded and said, "Okay, okay."

He's 38 years old this year; he's old.

Song Zhiyi eagerly awaited Gu Siming to pour her some wine, but Gu Siming only poured two glasses and then stopped.

"What about mine?" Song Zhiyi pouted and glared at Gu Siming.

Gu Siming turned to look at her, frowning, and said, "What kind of alcohol is this for a child?"

"Who's the child?" Song Zhiyi puffed out her chest.

Gu Siming glanced at it and said, "They're just kids."

"I'm nineteen years old!" Song Zhiyi exclaimed.

She ran to Lin Manni's side, hooked her arm around Lin Manni's, and rubbed her face against Lin Manni's shoulder:

"Sister Manny—"

"Pour her some," Lin Manni said to Gu Siming, then turned to Song Zhiyi, "She can't drink too much."

Song Zhiyi smiled and nodded repeatedly.

Her father was very strict, and she had never drunk alcohol before!

Gu Siming poured her a sip and handed it to her.

Song Zhiyi glared at him with some dissatisfaction, then tilted her head back and drank it all down.

She smacked her lips. "It's alright."

"Fill it up!" Song Zhiyi held the cup with both hands and stretched it out to Gu Siming.

"Heh, not bad." Gu Siming raised an eyebrow and poured her another half glass.

The younger brother quickly brought over a dozen snacks to go with the drinks, and the three women happily ate and drank.

The more you drink, the more you talk.

Gu Siming, sitting to the side, was getting restless.

Shen Tang kept pestering Lin Manni to tell her about her boyfriends.

Lin Manni leaned back on the sofa, her cheeks already flushed.

"A man needs to be young. But if he's too young, all he has is energy and he's too impatient. It's like cooking over too much heat..."

Song Zhiyi and Shen Tang listened quietly with their eyes wide open.

"Oh dear, you wouldn't understand even if I told you. Let's drink."

Lin Manni raised her glass and took a sip, then tilted her head to meet Gu Siming's gaze.

Gu Siming swayed and quickly turned his head to the side.

"Come here." Lin Manni beckoned to Gu Siming with her finger.

Gu Siming walked over somewhat helplessly.

Lin Manni yanked off his tie, pulling him bent over, and whispered in his ear:

"Any young men here?"

Gu Siming's nostrils were filled with the scent of Lin Manni's perfume, and his head was spinning so much that he didn't hear a word she said.

"What are you spacing out for? I'm asking you a question!" Lin Manni had drunk quite a bit, and she shook the hand that was tugging at his tie, her cheek brushing against Gu Siming's lips.

Gu Siming was somewhat confused and bewildered. "What...?"

"Are there any young men here?" Lin Manni asked, her eyes still misty.

Gu Siming lowered his eyes and stared into her eyes, then raised his hand and pinched her chin.

"Sister, they're going to kiss..."

Song Zhiyi was so drunk that she slumped on the sofa. She pointed at Lin Manni and Gu Siming and shouted.

"What nonsense are you talking about! I don't like old cucumbers." Lin Manni loosened Gu Siming's tie, picked up her wine glass and took a sip.

Why am I blushing and my heart racing for no reason? I must have drunk too much.

Shen Tang leaned back on the other side of the sofa, watching the two of them and smiling.

"Sister Manny, you two are a good match."

"Hahaha... Gu Siming, if you were to become Huo Xiuyuan's stepfather, Huo Xiuyuan would definitely turn green with envy..."

Shen Tang looked up and saw Huo Xiuyuan's face. She blinked.

He's really drunk; he's even hallucinating.

"Shh—don't let Huo Xiuyuan know I've been drinking; he won't let me," Shen Tang said.

She turned around, picked up her glass, and said, "Who does he think he is? Just because he doesn't want me to drink, doesn't mean I won't drink! Men are all heartless jerks!"

Lin Manni leaned closer to her and nodded, saying, "Yes, men are all like pig intestines! Pig bladders, pig poop!"

Huo Xiuyuan stared coldly at Gu Siming, who shrugged and spread his hands in response.

Song Zhiyi had already fallen asleep on the sofa, while Lin Manni was resting her head on Shen Tang's lap, muttering something unintelligible.

"Are there any rooms left?" Huo Xiuyuan asked coldly.

"Yes, the second one next door."

Seeing Huo Xiuyuan pick up Shen Tang, Gu Siming added,

"The sound insulation is very good."

"I'll settle the score with you later."

Huo Xiuyuan carried Shen Tang to the room next door.
