He actually drank alcohol.

"He Tingchu, this is boring. How are we supposed to play if you come here as the strategist? With your IQ of 250, what, are you afraid we'll bully your wife?" Du Qian teased.

"My child is naturally smart... beating you is a piece of cake," He Tingchu said.

Xia Qing's pupils contracted; so this was another side of the aloof Professor He.

As the magnetic voice rang in, Wen Xi's earlobes turned red and hot, and his whole body felt tingly and itchy.

"Old Li, quickly pull Professor He away, he's here to spy!" Hu Man shouted to Li Mu.

Li Mu, holding a wine glass, came over and handed him a wine glass that was more than half full of red wine.

The man's fair collarbone was flushed, and his face was also slightly red. His narrow eyes were slightly narrowed, indicating that he was slightly tipsy.

Wen Xi's medical student instincts began to awaken. She remembered that He Tingchu had a slight fever in the morning, and she had given him cephalosporin.

"He Tingchu, you can't drink alcohol. You took cephalosporin this morning..." Wen Xi turned to look at him.

"I won't drink anymore, my family won't allow it," He Tingchu replied obediently.

Gu Lianyu had an expression of utter disbelief, and he put his hand on Xia Qing's shoulder. The two exchanged a glance.

Damn, when did He Tingchu become so obedient?

"Okay, no drinking, but a beverage is fine, right?" Li Mo said with a smile, pushing He Tingchu and Gu Lianyu toward the men's table.

"Back then, He Tingchu and Lao Gu were our school heartthrobs. As the saying goes, it's an injustice if the school heartthrobs don't date. Remember the joke about Zhang Yue? She said she confessed to He Tingchu so many times but couldn't win him over—" Once Hu Man started talking, she just kept going on and on.

"I saw He Tingchu reject Zhang Yue with my own eyes. His face was as dark as the King of Hell. Zhang Yue was so angry that she swore that she would find someone more handsome and richer than He Tingchu. In the end, she didn't find a handsome one, but she did marry a man who was relocated due to land expropriation. He said he started a construction company and was quite rich."

"It's a pity Zhang Yue didn't come today... Has she already had her second child?" Du Qian chimed in.

"Of course, she has two sons. There's a throne waiting to be inherited in the family. They're just more than ten years older than Zhang Yue..." Hu Man clicked her tongue a few times.

Said Cao Cao, Cao Cao.

The door to the private room was then pushed open again. Wearing a fur vest, a tight skirt, and carrying an LV handbag, Zhang Yue swayed her hips as she entered, handing the fur vest to the waiter while smiling sweetly.

"Sorry, Li Mo, I'm late. Congratulations on your marriage." Zhang Yue's red lips opened and closed.

"Oh, we've been waiting for this day and night, and finally our class's school beauty has arrived! Sister Yue is getting more and more arrogant, always coming in last," Li Mu said deliberately.

"Sigh, I'll punish myself with three drinks. It's all my fault for having kids so early. After the eldest falls asleep, I still have to breastfeed the second one. It's exhausting. The maids at home are no good. My husband and kids are both clingy to me. It's so annoying," Zhang Yue boasted.

Another chair was added to the card table. It was three people playing Dou Dizhu, but now it's four people all playing as landlords. It's not like they can't play.

Since Zhang Yue joined, Wen Xi's luck has exploded. It's as if even God has chosen to be on her side. She won four consecutive rounds, each one a resounding victory, and her chips piled up into a small mountain.

"Is this He Tingchu's wife?" Zhang Yue winked at Hu Man after drawing a card.

They were all old classmates, so their relationship was naturally familiar.

"That's right, He Tingchu is as precious as the apple of our eye..." Hu Man winked.

"Thanks to He Tingchu, it's a good thing he rejected me back then, otherwise I wouldn't have met my current husband. He Tingchu is teaching at a university now, right? He earns over ten thousand a year, right?"

"Then you probably won't need to manage your finances much, unlike my husband whose account balance is so low it makes my head spin. I have to manage his finances too, it's exhausting..." Zhang Yue whispered sarcastically in Hu Man's ear.

The volume was neither too high nor too low, as if it were deliberately spoken to Wen Xi.

Wen Xi burst out laughing.

"He Tingchu, come here for a moment..." Wen Xi turned to the side and instructed He Tingchu, who was sitting at the table behind him.

He Tingchu responded and went over, his arms resting on the back of her chair. From Zhang Yue's angle, the elegant and refined man's tall figure leaned lazily against Wen Xi's shoulders. He leaned slightly forward, resting his head on Wen Xi's shoulder.

"Do you think I can win this round? I'm the landlord, one against three..." Wen Xi turned slightly to the side, deliberately holding up his cards for him to see.

"We must win...we must make our spring..." He Tingchu's hoarse voice boomed down.

"Well, sisters, I'll play my card now, three of a kind, a straight... can't follow up, right? Bomb, two cards, pass? Last bomb... Spring, hey, Sister Yue, I'm definitely not as lucky as you. I see your complexion is dull, you have spots and hair loss, which are typical symptoms of insufficient blood and qi."

In short, it indicates a deficiency of both qi and blood, clearly suggesting unsatisfied sexual desire and disharmony in sexual life.

"My husband doesn't need to be that rich, as long as he has that face, that's enough. I'm happy to earn money to support him, so you don't need to worry about it, Sister. By the way, my family specializes in producing all kinds of nutritional supplements. I'll have my secretary send a few boxes over for you to help with your health, Sister Yue." Wen Xi stared at his face.

She poked his cheek with her fingertip, then suddenly turned her head and pressed her cool lips against his cheek, giving him a light peck.

Everything happened so fast, completely beyond He Tingchu's expectations. His eyes were clear and he showed no signs of drunkenness. Had he been kissed without his consent?

His long, thick eyelashes drooped, and his brown pupils stared straight into the depths of her eyes. His heart, however, felt as if it were raining, raindrops splashing on a calm lake, creating ripples that spread outwards in layers. He gazed at her, mesmerized…

"Hey, what's going on? They're showing off their love in front of us, it's torture for us single people!" Hu Man yelled at the top of her lungs.

"Oh my goodness, this lady in front of you is the little princess of Kangde Pharmaceutical, Qiqi. I'd like to have a few boxes of supplements too," Xia Qing chimed in, playing the straight man.

"..." Everyone was bewildered.

Unexpectedly, He Tingchu married into a wealthy family.

Zhang Yue's face turned as red as a monkey's bottom, and her expression was very unpleasant.

"He Tingchu, this is the little wife you found? She's so rude and has no manners." Zhang Yue stood up abruptly and slapped the mahjong table.

"There's nothing I can do, I can't control her at all. It's all because I spoil her. My little princess has a terrible temper," He Tingchu said rudely.

Everyone covered their mouths and laughed. Li Mu had no choice but to come over and mediate. He tried to persuade her a few times, but somehow they ended up setting off firecrackers. Zhang Yue was so angry that she slammed the door and left.

"He Gou, you're really a dog relying on your master's power! Your mouth is like it's been poisoned... But it's very satisfying!" Li Mo clapped his hands and exclaimed.

"You two are a perfect match... I'm impressed, I'm impressed. He Tingchu, you drove my guest away. Professor He, you'll have to pay the bill today," Li Mu urged.

"Brothers, I have a wife now, let's have a drink." He Tingchu was really carried away with his pride, picked up the glass of red wine on the table and drank it all in one gulp.
