Chapter 41

 After dinner it is time for free leisure and entertainment. The Qiao family finally got a moment of rest after a busy day.

　　Qiao Yang never had time to talk to Gu Ye. In addition, he was afraid that Gu Ye would misunderstand Qin Man's matter, and wanted to find an opportunity to explain to him.

　　When he wanted to go to Gu Ye, someone took a step ahead of him. He is the elder at the same table and the CEO of a group company.

　　He said cheerfully: "Mr. Gu, it's not easy to meet each other. How about we go to the bar to have a drink and chat?"

　　Gu Ye shook hands with him gracefully, but declined politely: "I'm sorry, Mr. Wang, I already have an appointment with Mr. Qiao tonight."

　　After speaking, his smiling eyes looked in the direction of Qiao Yang.

　　Qiao Yang walked over politely and stood in front of the two of them with a smile: "Hello, Mr. Wang, hello Mr. Gu."

Mr. Wang smiled knowingly: "Okay, let's talk again when we have a chance."

　　At this moment, Qin Man also brought a group of little sisters to look for Qiao Yang. She shouted: "Qiao Yang, let's go. Let's go find Mo Yu to sing."

　　Before Qiao Yang said anything, Gu Ye stood in front of him. He glanced at Qin Man and said calmly: "I made an appointment with him."

　　Qin Man immediately stopped approaching and stopped talking.

　　The way Gu Ye looked at her was too cold, even distant and wary.

　　Ever since she confessed her feelings, Gu Ye had always looked at her like this.

　　In the past, she still harbored fantasies. She always felt that the relationship between the two families was very good. They had known each other for so many years, and if they pursued each other, there would be another chance.

　　Now after letting go of everything, I realize how hurtful this look is.

　　She laughed, stopped looking at Gu Ye, and said to Qiao Yang behind him: "Qiao Yang, I'll come back to you later."

　　After saying that, he turned around and left to go to the coffee shop to find Mo Yu singing.

　　There were several girls around Qin Man but they refused to give up and stayed.

　　The status of the third young master of the Qiao family and Gu Ye are at the top level in their circle. Moreover, both men are single and there are no messy scandals.

　　With two such outstanding men, they wanted to make acquaintance and deepen their relationship no matter what. Maybe there will be a chance.

　　They asked with a smile: "What's the fun of Mr. Gu and Mr. Qiao's date? Can we go together too?"

　　Gu Ye did not answer them. He looked at Qiao Yang with a calm expression and asked, "Master Qiao just came to me and said what he wanted to do?"

　　Qiao Yang:......

　　Who is looking for you?

　　Why are you leaving the problem to me?

　　Gu Ye lowered his eyes and looked at him, with a gentle and indulgent smile, as if he would play with you whatever you want.

　　Qiao Yang understood: "I said there is a bonfire party outside, let's go together."

　　The girls were very happy: "Okay, okay, it just so happens that we also want to go to the bonfire party, let's go together."

　　The bonfire party was held in the middle of a large open space outside the hotel. A blazing bonfire was lit in the middle, lighting up half of the venue and igniting the hot atmosphere.

　　Outdoor fun places under night can also make people forget their status and indulge themselves. Therefore, the assistant bodyguards brought by guests from various families also drank and had fun here.

　　In addition, the band and dance troupe invited to the wedding also sang and danced here, filling the entire venue with dynamic music and soaring cheers.

　　Long tables were placed around the open space. The long table is filled with colorful drinks and fragrant snacks.

　　The hotel waiters are busy at the table pouring wine, mixing drinks, and providing food and beverage services to the guests.

　　Qiao Yang originally had no feelings about these and just enjoyed them.

　　But now that I know he is going to take over this resort, I have a different mood.

　　Especially when I saw bottles of wine worth thousands or even tens of thousands placed on the table, I sighed in my heart.

　　The resort is closed to the public for the two days of the wedding.

　　All service staff serve the guests, and all entertainment items, restaurants and bars are also available for guests and the bodyguard assistants brought by the guests to enjoy. And they don't skimp on ingredients and expenses, showing their luxury.

　　Qiao Yang calculated in his mind that the cost of Qiao Zhen's wedding was estimated to start at 100 million.

　　Alas, it seems that he still has not fully adapted to the rich life in the novel.

　　Qiao Yang and Gu Ye walked around the bonfire twice. Gu Ye's indifferent and distant attitude gradually got rid of the girls around him.

　　Afterwards, the two of them sat down in a pavilion outside the venue.

　　Qiao Yang called a waiter: "Bring me a bottle of whiskey, rum and soda water. And some fresh lemon slices, freshly squeezed juice and milk."

　　"By the way, more wine glasses, swizzle sticks and some ice cubes."

　　The waiter wrote them down one by one and asked, "Do you want some for bartending? Do you want to prepare some more tools for you?"

　　Qiao Yang: "It doesn't have to be so troublesome. You just need to mix it."

　　Several night lights stood among the manicured lawns, flowers and trees surrounding the pavilion. The soft light dilutes the dense night darkness in this space, leaving the pavilion shrouded in haze.

　　Compared with the blazing bonfire and enthusiastic laughter in the distance, this space is secretive and clean.

　　Gu Ye looked at Qiao Yang, who was thinking and asking the waiter for a drink under the dim light opposite him, and asked with a smile: "Do you still like to mix your own drinks?"

　　Qiao Yang: "Why don't we just drink it together? I made it myself and it tastes interesting."

　　After the waiter left, he and Gu Ye were the only ones left in the pavilion. In a bustling day, the two finally had this moment of alone time.

　　Qiao Yang finally spoke out what he had been holding back all afternoon.

　　He stretched out his fist, bumped Gu Ye's shoulder carelessly, and said:

　　"Don't get me wrong about what happened this afternoon. I don't have any idea about your suitor."

　　"I have absolutely no intention of poaching you."

　　Qiao Yang spoke firmly, emphasizing the word 'a little bit'.

　　Gu Ye quickly understood what he said.

　　Even though there was nothing, he still had the desire to survive to prevent trouble before it happened.

　　He straightened his body and explained nervously and seriously: "Don't get me wrong, Qin Man and I have nothing. We didn't have anything before, and we're even less likely to have anything in the future."

　　Qiao Yang found it funny how Gu Ye proved his innocence. At the same time, he also relaxed: "I thought you were angry with me."

　　Gu Ye looked at him and sighed silently: "How could I... be angry with you."

　　Qiao Yang relaxed: "Hey! That's good."

　　It made him worry all afternoon.

　　Although it is late spring, the night temperature in the mountains is still very cool. Just when Qiao Yang noticed that he was cold, Geng Hui came over.

　　He held a coat in his hand and handed it to Qiao Yang: "Mr. Qiao, Mr. Gu asked me to get it for you."

　　Qiao Yang asked: "For me?"

　Gu Ye: "Looking at the thin clothes you're wearing, I'm afraid you'll catch a cold."

　　Not long after they came out, if you count the time, Gu Ye should have asked Geng Hui to deliver clothes before leaving the hotel.

　　Qiao Yang and Gu Ye were not polite, so he took it and put it on himself.

　　It was a short casual jacket, slightly loose on him, but very warm. You can vaguely smell something similar to Gu Ye's, a very warm scent.

　　Qiao Yang wrapped his coat and smiled warmly, and said, "You are too attentive. No wonder Sister Qin Man has chased you for more than ten years. Anyone who falls in love with you will die happily."

　　Gu Ye: "Yes, I will treat him wholeheartedly, give him what he wants, give him the best, I just hope he can be happy."

　　When he spoke, he looked deeply at Qiao Yang, the expression in his eyes was extremely sincere.

　　The tone is very slow, word by word, as if every word is printed into the listener's heart.

　　The pavilion is very noisy in the distance, so the pavilion space appears to be particularly quiet.

　　Gu Ye's slightly magnetic low male voice, the bass surrounded the space of only two people, and passed into Qiao Yang's ears clearly and profoundly.

　　It looked like he was confessing his love to someone.

　　Qiao Yang was overwhelmed by his overly serious eyes, and felt a little thirsty. He wanted to drink something to dilute it, but there was no drink at hand.

　　He coughed lightly and smiled uncomfortably: "Yes, really. You must do this to the person you like."

　　He also felt that if Gu Ye really found someone he liked, he shouldn't be able to go to his house to play natural sounds every day like now, nor could he shamelessly eat and drink.

　　Suddenly I felt a little envious.

　　I envy the person who Gu Ye will fall in love with in the future.

　　Gu Ye asked him back: "What about you?

　　"I?"

　　Qiao Yang thought for a while and said, "I don't know. Since you are the one you like, you must be loyal. Then you also want him to be happy. I don't know anything else."

　　He has never liked anyone before, so he doesn't know what it would feel like.

　　Two waiters approached with trays and brought the drinks and tools Qiao Yang wanted.

　　The wooden square table in the pavilion was quickly filled with wine bottles and glassware of various colors.

　　Qiao Yang picked up a wine glass, poured a layer of rum, half a glass of milk, and finally poured in freshly squeezed mango juice, stirred it evenly, and handed it to Gu Ye: "Try it?"

　　The transparent glass contains a rich, creamy yellow drink with a sweet mango flavor.

　　Even as a child, Gu Ye had never drunk such a healing drink, let alone wine.

　　Gu Ye took it and asked in disbelief: "You give me something milk-flavored?"

　　Qiao Yang answered seriously: "Yes, the low-alcohol cocktail made from milk will help you sleep at night. I can't play the piano for you tonight to soothe your brain. You can try drinking these."

　　Gu Ye couldn't help but laugh.

　　There was really nothing he could do against Qiao Yang.

　　From his attitude towards Qin Man, we can tell that Qiao Yang has no thoughts about him.

　　But he still carefully remembers that he didn't sleep well.

　　He will care about Qiao Yang, care about his happiness and anger, and even want to worry about small things for him, all because he likes him.

　　But Qiao Yang didn't mean anything to him but still treated him well.

　　He didn't know whether he should be happy or helpless.

　　The two of them sat here for a long time, and still attracted the attention of many people.

　　People began to come over to say hello one after another, especially those looking for Gu Ye.

　　Gu Ye clinked glasses with the person politely, exchanged business cards, and exchanged a few words.

　　After many times, Qiao Yang discovered something.

　　After Gu Ye clinked glasses with others, he just raised the glass and put it down again, not drinking at all.

　　Don't you like drinking?

　　"Come on, brother."

　　Qiao Yang raised his glass tentatively and touched it with him happily.

　　Gu Ye responded to him naturally, then held the cup with one hand and put it into his mouth. He raised his head slightly and drank half of the cup of wine.

　　Qiao Yang thought to himself: Can’t I drink this?

　　He continued to clink glasses with him, and Gu Ye drank again.

　　He was happy. As if he had found some kind of fun, he made two more cocktails with more juice for Gu Ye.

　　After constantly clinking glasses with him, he actually coaxed Gu Ye to drink three or four glasses.

　　Qiao Yang asked him with a successful look, "Aren't you afraid that I will get you drunk?"

　　Gu Ye looked at the very low-concentration, sweet cocktail glass in his hand and smiled: "If I'm really drunk, will you be responsible?"

　　Qiao Yang: "Of course, I will take care of you just as you took care of me last time."

　　"Last time?"

　　Gu Ye smiled meaningfully: "I don't think you can hold me."

　　Qiao Yang burst into laughter: "Don't worry, I will call my brother and the others to help. The three of us will carry you back."

　　Gu Ye:......

　　He thought about the embarrassing situation of being carried away by Qiao Zhen and Qiao Jin, and immediately gave up the idea of ​​pretending to be drunk.

　　Several more people came to the pavilion, all middle-aged and older people who came to talk to Gu Ye.

　　They also led the waiters who carried trays containing precious red wine that symbolized status and etiquette.

　　Gu Ye, Qiao Yang and the others stood up, took the toasted wine in their hands, and responded with a smile.

　　After a while, there were several glasses of red wine in front of their table, but Gu Ye still didn't drink a sip.

　　After they left, Qiao Yang continued his previous probing, picking up the wine bottles on the table and emptying the juice cans.

　　A messy and aesthetically pleasing cocktail was born in the hands of a naughty bartender. He pushed the glass of chaotic wine to Gu Ye's hand.

　　He asked provocatively: "Mr. Gu, would you like a drink?"

　　Gu Ye didn't care, picked it up, took a sip, nodded and praised: "It's not bad."

　　"Really? I poured it out randomly."

Qiao Yang didn't believe it: "Let me try it."

　　As he spoke, he leaned forward and leaned towards Gu Ye, and then reached out to hold Gu Ye's hand holding the wine glass.

　　Maintaining this posture, he lowered his head and held the rim of the wine glass in his mouth.

　　He held Gu Ye's hand holding the wine glass and tilted it slightly. The unknown color of wine in the glass reached his upper lip and soaked the corners of his mouth.

　　For a moment, Gu Ye stopped breathing.

　　He didn't exert any force on his hands, letting Qiao Yang hold him and drink the wine in his hand.

　　The man's cheek was very close, and his fingers could touch his moist skin with just a slight movement.

　　But, he didn't dare to move.

　　Qiao Yang had no idea what meaning such an unintentional intimate gesture meant to him, nor how much satisfaction he could get from it.

　　He wanted time to stand still at this moment.

　　Qiao Yang didn't have any idea, he just wanted to know what the wine he made as a prank tasted like.

　　When the wine entered his mouth, he drank it instinctively. The Adam's apple rolled up and down, making a soft sound like swallowing liquid.

　　Your mouth is immediately filled with the mellow sweetness of a variety of freshly squeezed juices and low-alcohol alcohol.

　　Qiao Yang then let go of his hand and sat back in his seat.

　　Eyes bright with surprise: "The wine I mixed up tastes pretty good! A new cocktail was born tonight."

　　Gu Ye's tense nerves relaxed with a long exhale. However, crazy thoughts grew in my heart.

　　He looked at the man's lip prints still on the edge of the wine glass in his hand, looked at the moist gloss remaining on the man's upper lip, and looked at him unconsciously starting to mix drinks again after being provocative.

　　He wanted to press him against the table and eat the moisture on his lips and taste the aroma of wine in his mouth.

　　I wanted him to know how dangerous his actions just now were.

　　If you want to punish him, you can just drink him for drinking.

　　think……

　　The heat in his heart needed to be suppressed, so he put the wine glass that both he and Qiao Yang had drank into his mouth and drank it all in one gulp.

　　Until the bottom of the cup becomes empty, leaving only a trace of the turbidity of mango pulp.

　　But Qiao Yang was still teasing him: "You don't drink the good wine you gave you, but you drink the one I mixed at random?"

　　Gu Ye looked at him without speaking.

　　Qiao Yang picked up the wine brought by those people, picked up a glass, looked at it carefully, and put it under his nose to smell it.

　　Just as he was about to take a sip, Gu Ye reached out to stop him: "It's better to drink less wine from unknown sources."

　　Qiao Yang: "Don't worry, I can tell if there's something in the wine. There's nothing wrong with these drinks."

　　Gu Ye warned him: "You can't drink indiscriminately. And you can't...you can't drink wine that others have drunk."

　　Qiao Yang had no idea what he meant and said perfunctorily: "Okay."

　　Still teasing him: "You are so cautious, how come you drink every glass of wine I pour you, and you are not afraid that I will also put something in it for you?"

　　Gu Ye: "If there really is something, after I drink it...can you be responsible?"

　　Under the cover of night, the blazing bonfire in the distance could not enter the sight of the two of them, but Gu Ye's eyes seemed to be burning with strong and hot emotions.

　　Looking at each other can make people feel hot.

　　Qiao Yang suddenly felt flustered by his eyes.

　　He said: "I, I was joking. How could I put something for you? What am I trying to do?"

　　Another man came to break Qiao Yang's embarrassment.

　　Unlike the middle-aged man who had a business-like atmosphere before, he was a young, fashionably dressed man.

　　Even under the dim light, you can see his good-looking facial features and handsome appearance.

　　The man stood in front of the table and smiled unnaturally, looking a little embarrassed.

　　After greeting Qiao Yang first, he asked Gu Ye: "Mr. Gu, can we chat alone for a while?"

　　Gu Ye raised his eyes to look at him, then lowered his head and played with the wine glass Qiao Yang handed over, and said lightly: "If you have anything to say, just say it here."

　　The man hesitated and kept looking in Qiao Yang's direction. It seemed that what he wanted to say couldn't be said because Qiao Yang was here.

　　Qiao Yang thought to himself: You're so sneaky, I won't leave.

　　I want to see what you want to say to Gu Ye.

　　Then he acted leisurely and contentedly, playing with bottles and jars while mixing wine.
