Upon seeing this, Lin Yi exclaimed in surprise, "You've ordered so much, are you sure you can finish it all?"

"I don't know, Gu Gu and I always order too much barbecue when we eat together," Zhong Xiaoqin said with a smile.

"It's okay if we can't finish it," Gu Jia said with a smile.

Soon after, the barbecue arrived, and Gu Jia and Zhong Xiaoqin started drinking.

Gu Jia drank very quickly, and soon Zhong Xiaoqin was by her side, but she became much gentler when drinking.

The two of them seemed to be having a drinking contest.

Lin Yi was somewhat expectant after seeing it. She had seen men compete in drinking, but this was the first time she had ever seen women compete in drinking.

As for Zhong Xiaoqin, she sensed that Gu Jia was troubled and wanted to drown her sorrows in alcohol, so she drank with her.

Otherwise, she wouldn't have drunk so much.

Lin Yi was eating his barbecue there, and then watching the two girls have a drinking contest, which was quite interesting.

"Come on, Xiaoqin, drink up," Gu Jia said.

“Okay.” Zhong Xiaoqin followed.

After a few rounds of drinks, Lin Yi had eaten his fill.

The two girls had also drunk a lot of beer.

Both of their faces were flushed.

Zhong Xiaoqin was alright, but Gu Jia was already a bit drunk because she drank too fast and too much, and her speech was slurred.

"Xiaoqin, let's drink." Gu Jia said.

“Okay, Gu Gu, drink slowly,” Zhong Xiaoqin said.

"How can you get drunk if you drink too slowly? Drink faster," Gu Jia said.

Zhong Xiaoqin couldn't help but ask, "Gu Gu, is something wrong? If you have any problems, you can tell me. We've been good friends for a long time."

"It's nothing, what could possibly happen to me?" Gu Jia smiled and shook her head.

Zhong Xiaoqin looked at Gu Jia, who was still as strong-willed as ever and did not want to show her weak side in front of outsiders.

The two drank for a while longer, and then Lin Yi said, "Xiaoqin, that's enough, stop drinking."

Zhong Xiaoqin immediately understood and took the wine from Gu Jia's hand.

Lin Yi said, "Xiaoqin, you stay and watch over your friend. I'll go settle the bill."

“Okay, darling, I’m sorry, my friend is in a bad mood, so…” Zhong Xiaoqin said.

"There's no need for formalities between us," Lin Yi said, gently pinching her delicate nose.

"hey-hey."

Zhong Xiaoqin burst into a silly laugh. To be honest, her husband was just a bit too romantic, but otherwise, he was perfect for her.

Lin Yi got up and went to the front desk to pay the bill.

Just after settling the bill, Lin Yi heard Zhong Xiaoqin shouting.

"Honey, someone is bullying me—"

Lin Yi turned his head and saw three young people with dyed hair going to them.

Judging from their unsteady swaying, they had clearly drunk a lot of alcohol.

Gu Jia, who was almost drunk, was now protecting Zhong Xiaoqin.

Zhong Xiaoqin whispered, "Gu Gu, don't be nervous. Lin Yi is here, everything will be alright."

"Xiaoqin, you're such a coward, yet you're comforting me?" Gu Jia said.

“I’m not alone. With my Lin Yi here, these kids are no problem at all,” Zhong Xiaoqin said.

Gu Jia immediately understood why the timid Zhong Xiaoqin wasn't afraid at all.

Lin Yi's face was gloomy as he quickly walked over.

"Oh my, beautiful lady, you're so young and already have a husband, what a pity."

"Yeah, why don't you come out and have some fun with us?"

Lin Yi pushed the three men aside and, with a little force, shoved them all to the ground.

Lin Yi stood in front of the two women, shielding them behind him.

Zhong Xiaoqin wasn't afraid; she wasn't alone, after all, she had a husband.

Gu Jia looked at the person who had come in. Perhaps he was drunk, or perhaps it was the lighting, but when she looked at Lin Yi, she seemed to see a tall and imposing figure.

His figure radiated a dazzling light, making it difficult for people to look directly at him.

"Who the hell dares to push me?" the three red-haired men shouted.

"Did you forget who you are just because you drank some cat pee?" Lin Yi stared directly at the three of them.

One of them hiccuped from drinking and pointed at Lin Yi, cursing, "You fucking dare..."

Without hesitation, Lin Yi kicked him directly in the stomach.

"I--"

After being kicked in the stomach, the man immediately curled up on the ground.

The other two were still trying to argue, but Lin Yi didn't tolerate them. He kicked each of them, making them both writhe in pain and fall to the ground.

"A bunch of useless trash. You few dare to try and use force? You think you're worthy?" Lin Yi glanced at them and cursed disdainfully.

With that, Lin Yi led Zhong Xiaoqin and Gu Jia away.

"Are you scared?" Lin Yi asked with a smile.

Zhong Xiaoqin smiled and said, "With you here, I'm not afraid."

After saying that, Zhong Xiaoqin smiled and said, "Gu Gu, I told you, are you alright? Don't be afraid."

"Uh-huh."

In this whole affair, Zhong Xiaoqin showed no fear whatsoever and completely trusted Lin Yi.

Gu Jia and Zhong Xiaoqin have known each other for so long, how could she not know Zhong Xiaoqin's personality? She is very timid.

But just now, she wasn't afraid at all.

It's because Lin Yi is by her side.

This shows just how much Zhong Xiaoqin trusted him.

Lin Yi supported Zhong Xiaoqin with one hand and Gu Jia with the other.

Gu Jia clearly felt that her body was slightly unsteady, but Lin Yi was so strong that he could pull her up with one hand.

The man who had fallen to the ground shouted defiantly, "You just wait, I won't let you get away with this!"

Originally, this matter should have ended there.

But one sentence they said made Lin Yi unhappy.

Lin Yi made a phone call and said directly, "There are three drunk people lying on the ground at Crazy BBQ. Take some men and beat them up again."

Especially their mouths, they stink.

"Brother, I understand. I'll beat them to a pulp and teach them a lesson for their loose tongues."

After hanging up the phone, Lin Yi drove off.

In the car, Gu Jia seemed to be half asleep.

Zhong Xiaoqin, standing to the side, laughed and said, "Honey, is it alright for you to let them embarrass them?"

“It’s alright, if they’re unhappy, I can send them in,” Lin Yi said.

Lin Yi always retaliated against his enemies for every little thing, but slapping them a few times was too lenient of them.

"Mmm." Zhong Xiaoqin breathed a sigh of relief after hearing this.

Lin Yi said with a smile, "Xiaoqin, you did a good job tonight. When something happened, you knew to call your husband."

"That's right, I'm not stupid." Zhong Xiaoqin said smugly, "With you here, I'm not afraid of anything."

"No need to be afraid, this little thing can be easily solved," Lin Yi said with a smile.

Zhong Xiaoqin said, "Honey, Gu Gu seems to be in a bad mood, so she drank too much."

"It's nothing, it's no big deal, I don't even care," Lin Yi said.

Gu stopped the car after driving for less than a few minutes.

"Alright, we're here. Get off the bus," Lin Yi said.

"Get out of the car? Honey, are we home?" Zhong Xiaoqin couldn't help but ask.

“The Junyue Mansion is a bit far from here. I saw you were tired, so we came to a place nearby,” Lin Yi said. “Your man owns so many houses; he has properties all over Shanghai.”

“That’s true, honey. You own more than 140 houses, so you could be anywhere,” Zhong Xiaoqin said with a smile.

"That's right, having many houses is so convenient, you can have a house anywhere," Lin Yi said with a smile.

Actually, after that incident, and after being outside and being blown by the wind, Gu Jia was almost fully sober.

She was just tired and didn't want to talk, so she sat there in a daze.

Who knew I'd hear such explosive news?

Lin Yi owns more than 140 houses...

Gu Jia was stunned when she heard this.

She knew Lin Yi was rich; after all, his attire told everyone that he was wealthy.

But she never expected that Lin Yi would be so rich, with so many houses, surely worth hundreds of millions?

Gu Jia couldn't believe it.

This secret left Gu Jia feeling extremely unsettled.

Zhong Xiaoqin's boyfriend is handsome, rich, gentle, and dotes on his girlfriend.
