A whispering silence fell over the room at his words.

It was surprising that Young Master Gu would utter such romantic words.

But when such words came from his slightly chilly and mundane tone, they weren’t cringe but rather heart-stirring.

All the girls present looked enviously at the plain-faced woman.

Young Master Gu was even willing to defy Shen Tianhou for her.

Shen Manbing wore an unbelieving expression.

In all their years together, when had Gu Qichen ever said anything that pleasant?

She even began to doubt, did she ever really have a romantic relationship with Gu Qichen all those years?

She had always thought that he was naturally cold, so why did he seem like a different person when dealing with Xia Yangyang?

Seeing Gu Qichen drink a whole bottle of strong liquor, Xia Yangyang too, voiced her concern, “Are you okay?”

“Don’t worry, sister-in-law,” Mu Liancheng said from the side, “Ah Chen, also known as the liquor god, hasn’t been drunk since he was a teenager.”

Somewhere in Xia Yangyang’s mind, something flickered past but she couldn’t catch it. Something felt strange.

Xue Shaotang opportunistically asked again, “Shall we continue?”

Shen Manbing’s fingers clenched tightly.

Baring her teeth, she gritted out, “Let’s continue!”

She couldn’t believe that she couldn’t take this little girl down today.

Yet, Xia Yangyang hesitated.

Gently chuckling, Gu Qichen told her, “You can enjoy yourself. If it comes to it, I’ll just drink for you.”

It seemed the atmosphere was heating up.

Everyone was curious about how this war between these two women would end.

The bottle started spinning again.

Everyone held their breath.

As the bottle slowly came to a stop, bypassing Xia Yangyang and pointing towards Shen Manbing, a strange sense of satisfaction filled the room.

They relished the irony of Shen Manbing finally having her turn.

Xue Shaotang sighed with relief.

If the bottle had pointed at Young Master Gu’s little wife three times in a row, Xue Shaotang knew that he would have had to answer for it eventually despite no reaction today.

Everyone was thinking that this show was getting more and more interesting.

Just now, Shen Manbing had taken two shots at her in a row, now was the perfect chance for Xia Yangyang to get revenge.

The opportunistically gleeful little actors were particularly looking forward to it.

Shen Manbing was usually untouchably high, almost like a fairy in the human realm. They wanted to see her struggles when she was brought down from her pedestal.

Xue Shaotang watched the crowd’s reactions.

Then he cautiously told Xia Yangyang, “Sister-in-law, now you can make a request.”

Xia Yangyang looked at Shen Manbing, and for the first time, dared to look her straight in the eyes.

Xia Yangyang spoke, word by word, “I hope you will stop interfering with our lives.”

Xia Yangyang’s words were brief and calm, yet they were filled with an unignorable aura of audacity and resolve.

Who would have thought that this frail-looking girl could bear such weight with her words?

Just now, Shen Manbing had told them to divorce; Xia Yangyang’s response was simply giving her a taste of her own medicine.

Moreover, with her status, she had more of a backbone now.

Shen Manbing sat there without moving.

But the slight rise and fall of her chest and her clenched fists showed she was reaching her limit.

What gives this damn girl the right?

She appeared out of nowhere, stole Gu Qichen from her, and now she wants her to stop interfering in their lives?

What right does she have?

Does she know about the love she and Gu Qichen have shared for years? Does she know what they have been through together?

How dare she be so brazen?

All eyes turned towards Shen Manbing.

Shen Manbing got up, took a bottle of alcohol from the box, opened it with force and sneered, “There’s no one in this world who can command me to do anything..”
