Chapter 2103: Slightly Drunk (1)
“Forget it, don’t go to those places. You’re in a critical period now. Those reporters are everywhere. Just drive over to my place. Coincidentally, I got someone to bring back a batch of good wine from France. I’ll get the servants to prepare a few dishes. It won’t take long. Come over now.”
Qi Lei hung up after saying a few words.
Su Chen looked at his phone screen that had gone dark. He thought about it and got up. He packed up the documents and left the office with his briefcase.
It was the weekend the next day. It was not a big deal to have a few drinks. It was safer and more convenient to drink at home. He was still driving.
Qi Lei naturally remembered Mu Yuchen mentioning that it was a very critical time for Su Chen right now. It was rare for him to be able to sit in that position before he turned 40. Su Chen’s ability was not weak, and he had a strong background. It should not be difficult to take him down, but it was better to be careful at this time. Qi Lei had suffered too much in the media, so naturally, he did not want Su Chen to suffer like him.
Su Chen knew Qi Lei’s intentions, so he could not help but feel a little warm in his heart—
His buddy was still very considerate of him after all, he was even more concerned about this matter than he was. It could be seen that such a person was someone worth befriending deeply.
In fact, Su Chen liked to drink and chat with Qi Lei. When he was with him, he always felt that the conversation was more natural. Perhaps it was because of Qi Lei’s casual personality.
“Go to sleep first. Su Chen will come over later. This guy probably hasn’t had time to eat dinner yet. I’ll get the servants to prepare some food and wine.”
As Qi Lei said this, he lowered his head and kissed Dongfang Liuyun. Then, he let go of her and got out of bed.
Dongfang Liuyun obviously did not expect Qi Lei to ask Su Chen about that. She kicked him in disgust. “Watch your image! Don’t drink too much, or else you’ll sleep in the study tonight.”
The children were still young. Of course, they would not be able to stand the strong smell of alcohol.
“Don’t worry. Of course, I’d want to sleep here.”
Qi Lei glanced at her. He took a coat and draped it over his shoulder. Then, he went downstairs unhurriedly.
When the food and wine were ready, Su Chen just happened to rush over.
The two brothers were sitting on the rooftop outside, drinking wine and watching the rain outside as they chatted.
“How has Grandpa Su been these past two days?”
Seeing that Su Chen’s expression was not too good, Qi Lei asked with concern.
“It’s still the same. Zitong moved back with the children, and now my mother is at home with them. The house is lively now, and his mood seems to be better, so he’s been in a good mood these few days.”
Su Chen replied indifferently and drank the wine in his glass. Then, he reached for a cigarette packet by the side and frowned. He took one out, lit it, and handed it to Qi Lei. Qi Lei waved his hand. “You have to smoke less recently. She and the children can’t take it.”
Hearing this, Su Chen smiled. “You seem to care.”
“Don’t you care about Ji Zitong and your daughter too?”
Qi Lei glanced at him. He knew that this guy had been trying to quit smoking recently. Ji Zitong would check if he had any cigarettes on him before he left or after he returned home. Did she not ask Qi Lei for the cigarettes when she came over just now?
Su Chen coughed lightly and leaned back in his chair leisurely. “You’re quite self-aware. Dongfang Liuyun treats you well. It’s not wrong for you to dote on her.”
“Ji Zitong treats you badly?”
Qi Lei seemed to have caught the crux of Su Chen’s words.
When Su Chen heard this, he puffed out a mouthful of smoke and said somewhat irritably, “It’s not that she’s not good. I just feel like I’m being a little stubborn. Especially after my daughter was born, she became more and more displeased with me. Do you think I’m really a little old? Two days ago, I went to her office and fired her male assistant. She’s been unhappy ever since.”
“Fired the male assistant?”
Qi Lei looked at Su Chen in surprise.
Su Chen took a sip of his wine before he spoke, “He dresses so coquettishly and look like a gigolo. He’s always trying to curry favor with Zitong for no reason. I’ve seen a lot of people like that. I fired him right away, but Zitong is angry with me over something like that. Am I being unreasonable?”
Su Chen was still unconvinced as he said this. He felt that he had to keep a close eye on him. After all, he and Ji Zitong had completely different jobs now. He could not help with Ji Zitong’s matters, would those men not be growing with her through thick and thin?
He heard that it was very easy to get into trouble like this. He had to get rid of all these hidden safety risks.
He was probably used to doing things this way and was used to taking precautions, so he fired her at that time. Without waiting for Ji Zitong’s permission, Ji Zitong reprimanded him unhappily after the incident, and the couple became so awkward afterwards.
He had not been in Ji Zitong’s bed for a few days, not even a kiss. Su Chen would not be like those stupid men. Most of the time, he would just go out to have fun.
Ever since he had Ji Zitong, he had not touched other women. It was not that he had conscious restraint, but it was as if there was something wrong with his heart. He had to have Ji Zitong. He would find it disgusting to touch even a finger of any other women.
For a person like him, there were countless temptations. However, he only wanted Ji Zitong. Could it be that he was used to it? Could it be that he did not like other tastes?
Qi Lei had been staring at Su Chen the entire time. When he saw his handsome face turn green and white, he could tell that his expression was very complicated. However, he laughed in his heart!
He did not expect Su Chen to have such a day!
“What kind of gaze is that? Be careful of those eyeballs!”
Su Chen glanced at Qi Lei gloomily. When he saw his gloating gaze, he could not help but feel a wave of anger in his heart. He immediately growled.
“I didn’t mean anything else, brother. I understand you very well.”
Was it not just that he was afraid that his wife had a wolf by her side?
If Dongfang Liuyun’s assistant was a handsome young man, Qi Lei would most likely think of a way to send him away.
“It’s just that there’s something wrong with your method. Can’t you use your brain to think of a good excuse?”
Qi Lei laughed.
“Could I have thought so much back then? Forget it, I won’t talk about this anymore. It’s annoying. Drink!”
Su Chen did not want to think about these annoying things anymore. Seeing Qi Lei pour him a glass of wine, he did not stand on ceremony and raised his glass.
Qi Lei also raised his glass and clinked it with his. He drank it. “It’ll be fine after I go back and coax her. All women become pretentious once they’re pampered, and if it really can’t be done, I’ll do it the rough way. You know what Zimo said before.”
“Him? What good advice can he give with that IQ of his? He’s completely taken advantage of by Qin Su and worships her!”
Su Chen’s face was filled with disdain!
