Meijia immediately put on an aggrieved and innocent look and leaned into Matt's arms, "It seems that your friends don't welcome me..."

Hearing this, Gu Jinlan reacted and said quickly, "You're welcome. I was a little surprised that Matt would bring his girlfriend. Please take a seat. I'll be waiting for you."

Meijia asked Matt: "Didn't you tell your friends in advance?"

Matt smiled and said, "I didn't tell you. I wanted to give them a surprise."

"It was indeed a surprise, that's why I didn't react just now." Gu Jinlan forced a smile and secretly rolled his eyes at Matt.

When she was in Country M, she knew that Matt was surrounded by many beautiful women.

But Matt would never bring any woman of questionable character to her.

It's not that she thinks this girl named Meijia is questionable, but at first glance, their relationship looks like the kind of 'just met at the bar last night'.

Tonight is not a business dinner, but a gathering of their good friends.

She thought that Matt respected their friendship and shouldn't bring such a messy relationship to their attention.

If this was Matt's true girlfriend, she would naturally treat her well.

After sitting down, Matt began to introduce, "Meijia, these are my two good friends, Lanlan and Luoxi."

"Hello." Meijia nodded to Gu Jinlan and Yun Luoxi.

"Sorry for the long wait. Let's eat." Matt picked up the chopsticks and was about to eat.

Meijia gently pulled his sleeve and looked at Shi Ye and Zhao Jingchuan who remained silent across from her. "Matt, what about these two..."

"Oh!" Matt smiled, "These two are the family members of my two good friends."

Mika asked: "What's your name?"

"Friends' family members." Matt turned to look at Meijia, his face serious, "That's what I call them."

Meijia thought Matt was joking with her, "Is this a way for you guys to play around with each other?"

"No." Matt said seriously, "They are just foils for their respective wives. They are not important. You don't need to know them."

"..." Mika smiled awkwardly, "This...is not very polite."

"It's okay." The three men said in unison.

This rare unity left Gu Jinlan and Yun Luoxi stunned.

Matt chuckled.

He was unwilling to tell Meijia Shiye and Zhao Jingchuan's identities, not because he disrespected them or wanted to embarrass them on purpose.

But he knew that Shi Ye never revealed his identity when he was outside.

And Zhao Jingchuan was also well-known in the imperial capital for not being gentle and considerate to women.

The two of them were sitting here tonight just to accompany their wives, and they didn't care at all whether Meijia would remember them.

It was already rude of him to bring outsiders to their dinner without permission.

If Meijia knew the identities of Shi Ye and Zhao Jingchuan and was seduced by the money and beauty of one of them, he would have made a big mistake tonight.

"See? I told you it's okay, eat quickly. Didn't you complain about being hungry on the way here?" Matt gently touched Mika's head.

Gu Jinlan took Matt's seemingly gentle and doting action into consideration and knew everything.

Sure enough, Meijia is not the woman that Matt really wants to date, otherwise Matt would not have introduced Shi Ye and Zhao Jingchuan to her.

Yun Luoxi was also looking at Matt and Meijia with a calm expression, and even a relieved smile at the corners of his lips.

It was a scene that once made her feel regretful and sad whenever she imagined it.

Now that I’ve seen it with my own eyes, I feel calm inside.

"Luoxi, I heard from Lanlan that you are pregnant. Congratulations on becoming a mother. This is a little gift I prepared for your baby." Matt took out a gift and handed it to Yun Luoxi.

"Thank you." Yun Luoxi took it happily.

"What about me?" Gu Jinlan asked quickly, "Don't I have a wedding gift?"

"You are such a money-grubber." Matt took out another gift and handed it to Gu Jinlan, "Here."

Gu Jinlan smiled with her eyes curved.

Every gift Matt gave her was never cheap!

Seeing her money-grubber look, Matt shook his head helplessly and looked at Shi Ye, "Just a kind reminder, if the financial power of your family is to be handed over to Lan Lan, then you have to be careful to save some private money for yourself. Lan Lan is very conservative, and it is difficult for her to get out of her pocket once the money goes into it."

Shi Ye spread his hands disapprovingly, looking at Gu Jinlan who was opening the gift with gentle eyes, "It's okay, I don't need money, having her is enough."

Gu Jinlan glanced at Matt and said, "I just accepted a gift from you. Do you have to slander me like this? I think you are the miser. I created so much wealth for Blue, and I asked you to give me a gift. Look how distressed you are."

Matt clasped his fists and said, "I was wrong, I was wrong. I can't argue with you. I admit defeat."

"If you admit defeat, drink." Gu Jinlan picked up the wine glass, "Even if you drink, you will admit defeat."

"Can't you save some face for me in front of my girlfriend?"

"You have to earn your face yourself."

"Okay, let's see who gets drunk first tonight."

The two of them started drinking before they had even said a few words.

Yun Luoxi looked at the two of them with a smile.

In the past, every time Matt and Gu Jinlan quarreled and drank, she watched happily from the side.

But now, my mood is different.

After three rounds of drinks, Matt put down his glass and said, "I'm going to go out and have a cigarette."

"I'll go too." Gu Jinlan stood up.

Yun Luoxi was about to ask Gu Jinlan if she had quit smoking, but suddenly realized that Gu Jinlan wanted to talk to Matt alone.

Seeing that Meijia was about to follow her out, she quickly found a topic to keep Meijia.

"Meijia, where are you working? Are you from Haicheng?"

Meijia chatted happily with Yun Luoxi.

Zhao Jingchuan naturally saw through everything. His gentle gaze fell on Yun Luoxi's face and he smiled with relief.

His Luo Xi seemed to be getting smarter and smarter.

If their baby is like her, he will be smart.

The two women were chatting back and forth, but Shi Ye didn't hear a word they said, nor did he follow Gu Jinlan out.

He was looking down at the text message sent by Si Mo on his phone, his lowered eyelids blocking the dark color in his eyes.

In the courtyard outside the box.

Matt handed a cigarette to Gu Jinlan, "I knew it would be harder to get you to quit smoking than to quit taking drugs."

"Then I really have to impress you." Gu Jinlan gently pushed Matt's hand away, "I have completely lost the desire to smoke."

Matt was surprised, then nodded in understanding, "What do you want to ask? Ask it now."

Gu Jinlan didn't beat around the bush and asked directly, "Meijia is not your girlfriend, right? Or rather, she is not the girlfriend you truly admit in your heart."

Matt's cigarette held in his mouth, and the corner of his lips curled up into a smile. "Yes, go on."

Gu Jinlan said, "You specifically asked me to date Luo Xi tonight, and brought a so-called girlfriend with you without even telling me. Was it because of Luo Xi and Jing Chuan?"

Matt exhaled a puff of smoke, and his blurry eyes pierced through the thick smoke in the air and looked at Gu Jinlan, saying meaningfully, "Sometimes, you really understand me well, like a worm in my stomach."

But sometimes…

But she didn't understand anything.
