Chapter 238: You Were So Loud

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Gong Xin sat in the living room, munching on an apple, watching TV, and suddenly mentioned that she thought she heard something during her recent nap.

Mrs. He responded with a knowing smile, remarking, “Newlyweds. Young people are always in a hurry. You’ll understand once you have a boyfriend.”

Despite the He family and the Gong family not being on great terms in official matters, the female members of both families had a cordial relationship in private. Mrs. He regarded Gong Xin as a junior.

Upon hearing Mrs. He’s words, Gong Xin seemed to catch on, and her face blushed instantly, resembling a boiled shrimp.

Was her sister that eager and impatient that she couldn’t even wait until the wedding night? Tsk tsk…

Gong Xin had just taken a bite of the apple when Su Le walked over, holding out a piece of candy for her, and said, “Lele, candy!”

Gong Xin joyfully widened her eyes and asked, “Is this for me to eat?” Goodness, this cutie! Gong Xin felt like she was about to melt.

Su Le nodded and handed the candy to Gong Xin, saying, “Lele, candy, eat.”

Gong Xin took the candy from her and unwrapped it before slowly putting it into her mouth. It wasn’t until the little girl clapped her hands happily at seeing her eat the candy that Gong Xin could relax. The candy from the little girl was indeed meant for her to enjoy.

Gong Xin asked Li Hua to take a break and played with Su Le. Unexpectedly, they ended up playing until just before the evening banquet.

During the evening banquet, Su Shen and Gu Zi went to each table together to toast and express gratitude to the villagers for their attendance.

As the bride, Gu Zi could drink normal beverages instead of alcohol, but Su Shen had no reason not to drink. In fact, Gu Zi was a bit worried that he might get drunk.

Su Shen said that he could hold his liquor and that she did not have to worry. Gu Zi didn’t fully believe it until Su Shen successively defeated several big shots at the main table.

Boss Huo was the first to surrender. He was helped into the car by his driver. Before leaving, he said to Su Shen, “Today doesn’t count, I’ll make you K.O. next time!”

Su Shen curled his lips slightly, glancing at Gu Zi as if to say, “See, your man is the best at drinking. He can knock others out with just a few sips.”

Gu Zi’s face turned slightly red, and she lowered her head, focusing on her food, ignoring him.

Next was Deputy Chief He, who was so drunk that he sprawled across the table, snoring loudly. His wife, He Ting, discreetly kicked him, feeling a bit embarrassed by her husband’s behavior. She bid farewell to Su Shen and Gu Zi, then signaled the driver to come and help escort him away.

Commander Kong was now in high spirits, insisting on challenging Su Shen to a drinking contest.

Su Shen shook his head. Considering Commander Kong’s old age and the fact that he would have to hit the road soon. He forcefully helped the old man onto the Kong family’s car, paying no mind to the grumbling.

At the neighboring table, Gong Xin was also getting drunk. Holding a bottle, she came over to Gu Zi with a playful smile, saying, “You’re not playing fair.

You got married before me. Just now at noon, you were so loud!”

Gu Zi tried to cover her mouth, but realized it was futile when she saw the meaningful smiles and heard the hushed discussions around her.

The Gong family was a prestigious family in the community, known for their strict demeanor. They couldn’t afford to lose face.

For Gong Xin, this was repressive. It was tolerable when she was younger, but as she grew up, there were many instances when Gong Xin had to be cautious to maintain her parents’ reputation, leading to a restrained and constricted life.

Tonight, she wanted to liberate herself a bit, so let’s forgive her for that!

However, being this intoxicated and staying here wasn’t permissible. Moreover, she needed to return to the city. Gu Zi intended to find someone to escort her back.

Gu Zi surveyed the surroundings, and her gaze coincided with Jin Long’s. Jin Long, who hadn’t been drinking tonight and was responsible for driving the truck, was also someone Su Shen trusted.

However, leaving a lone man and woman together wasn’t ideal, and it wouldn’t be appropriate to have Gong Xin sent back to the compound once they reached the city.

In the end, Gu Zi called for an auntie and Jin Long to accompany her, to ensure that the intoxicated Gong Xin was safely transported back to the city.

Everyone enjoyed the evening banquet even more than the lunch, and by the time Gu Zi and Su Shen returned home, it was already late at night.

They had earlier instructed Su Bing and Su Li to bring their younger sister back first, and by all accounts, they should be fast asleep by now.

Su Bing and Su Li could take care of their sister occasionally, so they didn’t have to worry.

However, when they returned home, the living room was still lit. When they entered the living room, they saw Su Bing burying his head in her homework. The living room was also very clean.

Gu Zi felt gratified, but at the same time, her heart ached. Su Bing, at his age, should be enjoying his youth, yet he always presented himself as remarkably mature, making it easier for the people around him to ignore him.

Su Shen seemed to have noticed this too. He approached Su Bing and said, “Go to bed, you can finish the homework tomorrow..”
