Xia Yangyang wished she could find a crack in the ground to hide in.

She didn’t recall any of the things Gu Qichen mentioned.

But it was hard to say exactly what had happened.

Her alcohol tolerance and etiquette went straight out of the window after drinking.

On top of that, she had been practicing Taekwondo for ten years so she was indeed strong.

Therefore, the things Gu Qichen mentioned may not have been entirely impossible.

Xia Yangyang felt so comically awkward that she completely forgot why she started the conversation.

Xia Yangyang had always thought that they were both drunk back then, so…

However, Xia Yangyang suddenly had an epiphany.

She said, “Aren’t you the type who can consume large amounts of liquor without getting drunk?”

Just a moment ago, Mu Liancheng said that Gu Qichen had a nickname of being a wine god.

He had just consumed a bottle of potent liquor, yet he was acting perfectly fine.

Shen Manbing got drunk after only having two sips, showing the effectiveness of the alcohol.

Gu Qichen nodded, “Indeed, I do have a high alcohol tolerance.”

Xia Yangyang asked, “Then, how did you end up passing out drunk when we were dining with Director Yang and others last time?”

As the investor at the time, Gu Qichen had joined everyone for the meal, ended up incredibly drunk, and Shen Shichuan had directly left him with her.

Left with no other choice, Xia Yangyang had booked a room at the hotel where they had dinner.

At that time, she was troubled by the relationship between Gu Qichen and Shen Manbing, and was squabbling with Gu Qichen.

Nevertheless, that time, Gu Qichen had totally outwitted her.

Gu Qichen started nonchalantly, “Wife, have you heard of alcohol worms? They say some people are naturally born with them in their bodies, allowing them to drink without becoming drunk. However, even these worms need to rest sometimes. That day, the alcohol worm in my body was on holiday.”

Xia Yangyang was confused, still trying to figure out what an alcohol worm was.

Upon seeing the hint of a smile at the corner of Gu Qichen’s mouth, Xia Yangyang suddenly bristled, “Gu Qichen, are you making fun of me again?”

This man had a real knack for spinning tales out of thin air, even coming up with something like an alcohol worm.

Xia Yangyang snorted and ignored him.

Gu Qichen indeed chuckled before gripping Xia Yangyang’s hand, his voice then filled with seriousness, “You may not believe it if I told you that it was love at first sight for me. Even I find it ridiculous. But from the first moment I saw you, I felt familiar, curious, my body didn’t reject you, but instead, I couldn’t help but want to draw closer. So, Yangyang, I can’t answer your question. Besides, I don’t believe that we had a one-night stand. That night, I contemplated deeply. From the moment I touched you, I had intended to make you my wife, to live together for our entire lives. Hence, our marriage is not just to pay for that night. It is because, from the first sight, I really liked you.”

Gu Qichen still remembers that night.

At the Dark Night Bar.

The girl had got herself wasted, collapsing directly into his arms.

Normally, he abhorred physical contact with others.

However, when she fell into his arms, he found himself enticed by a mild, refreshing fragrance beneath the strong smell of alcohol.

Her flushed face was like a ripe red apple.

His mates teased that the girl had clearly been drugged.

Several offered to “take care” of her.

The usually indifferent him surprisingly stuffed her into his car and took her home.

That night was indeed a tumultuous one.

Xia Yangyang indeed was drugged that night. Gu Qichen had looked into it and found that her friend Gong Xue’er was the one responsible.

However, by that time, Gong Xue’er had already left.
