Jiang Chenyu, pretending to pour water while eavesdropping, thought: Finally, Jiang Xiaosu has a use, giving him a good idea! His identity alone could intimidate outsiders. Who would dare touch the treasure in his palm? No one!

Jiang Chenyu walked over and handed his wife a water bottle. "Drink some water."

Gu Nuannuan, remembering how he had cornered her in the closet earlier, turned her face away haughtily. "No."

"How about I drive you today?" He suggested, thinking to assert his dominance.

Gu Nuannuan, intent on frustrating him, retorted, "No way! Not only will I not let you drive me, but I'll also flirt with some young handsome guys and have them drive me home, being lovey-dovey right in front of you! Infuriate you, infuriate you, infuriate you!"

Jiang Chenyu, nearly driven mad by his little wife, kept smiling. Very well! A little annoyance keeps you young. Since she was going to a friends' gathering, Jiang Chenyu refrained from bullying her. He'd settle the score when she came home.

Gu Nuannuan left with Jiang Xiaosu in the same car. Before getting in, Jiang Xiaosu said, "Aunt, I might have to drink a lot with those people tonight. If your husband comes to pick you up, remember to bring me too."

"Call me sister in public!" Gu Nuannuan deliberately had Jiang Xiaosu call her sister in front of Jiang Chenyu. 'Aunt' was a title for married women; 'sister' was for single beauties.

Gu Nuannuan, delighted, got in the car and they set off.

The gathering spot was at a hotel rooftop, equipped with various entertainment facilities, an outdoor pool, and a gym. With the cold weather, the pool was unused, so everyone gathered around the sofas with tables full of drinks.

At the hotel entrance, they waited for Su Xiaomo before heading up together. Jiang Xiaosu, a well-known and capable figure among the boys, led the way confidently.

"We're going to drink later, you two don't drink," Jiang Xiaosu reminded them.

Gu Nuannuan nodded, "Don't worry, my husband also forbids me from drinking."

Su Xiaomo shook her head, "I only drink when it's just the three of us. It's not safe with others around."

Jiang Xiaosu nodded, "Just say you're allergic to alcohol. If anyone insists, call me. I checked the group list earlier. Chen Qi is here. He chased after Xiaomo for three years and isn't a decent guy. Don't take any drinks from him."

Both Gu Nuannuan and Su Xiaomo agreed.

The elevator reached the top floor, and Jiang Xiaosu, walking ahead, was greeted warmly by someone handing him a drink. "Jiang Dashao, welcome! Our noble guest is here."

Jiang Xiaosu took the offered drink, clinking it with the other's can and taking a sip. "You all arrived early."

Someone offered drinks to Gu Nuannuan and Su Xiaomo, but they both declined. "We'll just have soft drinks."

"Come on, just one can. It's unopened."

Jiang Xiaosu, holding his drink, turned to them. "Girls, don't drink. If we get drunk, who will call us a car?"

Someone tried again with Gu Nuannuan, "Such a cutie, even wrapped up warmly. Get drunk and we'll take you away tonight."

Gu Nuannuan thought, "Should I scare them by saying my husband is Jiang Chenyu?"

"No thanks, I'm allergic to alcohol."

Another boy offered a drink to Su Xiaomo, "Can't ignore our goddess Xiaomo. Have a little; it's not strong. If you get drunk, I'll take you home."
