Lan Yuxi pouted and thought for a moment, "Of course it matters! People with high EQ can make more friends, and more friends mean more opportunities."
Nan Xiao smiled indulgently, "I don't have high EQ either."
Lan Muwei chimed in with a smile, "That's why you can't make big money!"
Lan Yuxi pouted and looked at him from a forty-five-degree angle, "Don't you dare say my husband is poor. If you say he's poor, you're saying I'm poor!"
Lan Muwei mimicked her, pouting, "Whoever dares to say my sister is poor, is saying I'm poor!"
Lan Yuxi shook her head and, with tipsy eyes, looked at Nan Xiao, "Husband, who is this blonde guy?"
Nan Xiao smiled and ruffled her hair, "You've had too much to drink. I'll take you back."
"I haven't had too much to drink, you drank all the wine... Ah!"
Before she could finish, Nan Xiao scooped her up, "You guys keep drinking. I'll take her back and come back to join you later."
Luo Shiyi swayed his head and waved his hand, "Go keep your senior sister company. We don't need you here."
Lan Yuxi blinked her eyes and hooked her arms around Nan Xiao's neck, "Right, I don't need you here either. Go keep my senior sister company."
"Hahaha..." everyone burst into laughter, amused by her.
Nan Xiao shook his head, exasperated, and started to carry her away.
Nan Qiyue quickly stood up, "Mr. Nan, I'll open the door for you."
Seeing that only Nan Qiyue was left as the female presence, Nan Xiao nodded slightly, "Let's go."
Lan Muguo was about to stand up, leaning on his chair, when Lan Muwei pushed him back down.
Lan Muguo glanced at him and called out to Nan Qiyue, "Qiyue, it's a bit dark outside, watch your step."
Nan Qiyue looked back and nodded with a smile.
Lan Xiaoliu pulled Lan Muwei's arm and laughed, "Third Brother, it's dark. Watch your step."
Nan Laosi saw Nan Qiyue quicken her pace due to being teased and playfully hit him, "Don't tease her. The path ahead is all cobblestones, what if she falls?"
Lan Xiaoliu chuckled, "Worried about her? Why don't you go and help her like Joyce?"
"Lan Xiaoliu, I curse you, you'll get an emergency call to go perform surgery soon."
"I've been drinking. Even if the ancestor calls, I can't go."
Ming Zicheng took a sip of wine and looked up, "How has Su Ya been recently?"
Lan Xiaoliu was slightly taken aback, "You don't know? She was discharged not long after Su Chi and his wife had their accident."
Ming Zicheng shook his head, "She wasn't within the scope of the investigation, so I didn't pay attention to her."
"She went to Country Y, with Kahn," Lan Xiaoliu narrowed his eyes slightly, "I hope Kahn can cure her. In those last few days, she was already in terrible pain."
Nan Xiangbei smiled mysteriously, "If she keeps using Yun Siyan's heart, she'll definitely keep hurting, because that woman Yun Siyan was incredibly vengeful. How could she possibly let her enemy live happily?"
Nan Xiangdong raised an eyebrow slightly, "Let's not talk about her, lest it spoil the mood."
"Right, let's not talk about people who affect our appetite." Lan Muwei stood up, raised his wine glass, "Let's drink this glass, then those who want to rest can go, and those who don't want to rest can keep drinking."
Everyone stood up and raised their glasses.
Meanwhile, Nan Xiao had just carried Lan Yuxi upstairs when he saw Joyce sitting on the floor outside Luo Wanqi's door.
Nan Xiao saw him, and Lan Yuxi saw him too. She stirred restlessly in Nan Xiao's arms and looked towards Joyce.
"Huh? Little blonde, why are you sitting here?"
Joyce, like a discarded puppy, pouted miserably, "Master, Wanqi won't let me in."
Lan Yuxi, with tipsy eyes, looked at Nan Xiao, "He's your disciple, when did you take him as a disciple?"
Nan Xiao gave her a helpless look, "He's your disciple."
"My disciple?" Lan Yuxi jumped down with a thud, "He's not allowed in by my disciple? That's bold!"
Nan Xiao reached out to pull her back, but she kicked the door open and threw Joyce inside.
"Useless good-for-nothing! If you get kicked out again, I'll skin you alive!"
After Lan Yuxi's warning, she pulled the door shut. Then, she winked at the stunned Nan Qiyue and lowered her voice, "Go get some rest."
Nan Qiyue smiled and gave her a thumbs-up.
Lan Yuxi smiled and, linking arms with Nan Xiao, returned to their bedroom.
Nan Xiao playfully pinched her nose, "Are you drunk or not?"
"Just right. Another sip and I'd be drunk," Lan Yuxi covered her mouth and yawned, "Third Brother and Fourth Brother were planning to get you drunk. If I hadn't pretended to be drunk, you would have been the one drunk today."
"They can't outdrink me."
Lan Yuxi twitched her nose, "You've been practicing your drinking all these years I was away, burning your stomach out!"
Nan Xiao smiled and embraced her, "I haven't had a drink since we got our marriage certificate."
"You drank a lot today."
"Today is a happy occasion." Nan Xiao leaned down and kissed her forehead, "Thank you for letting Xiangdong and the others come over too."
"No need to thank me. We're all family. When everyone gets together more often, we'll have better synergy when we work."
Nan Xiao lightly bit her earlobe, "Let's go wash up? Hmm?"
Lan Yuxi ticklishly shrunk her neck, "You go first, I'll call Second Brother and see if he's sobered up."
"I'll get your pajamas. You make the call," Nan Xiao let go of her and strode into the walk-in closet with his long legs.
Lan Yuxi watched his straight back and smiled as she dialed Lan Musi's number.
The phone rang and rang, and just as Lan Yuxi was about to give up, it was finally answered.
"Sobered up?" Lan Yuxi asked with a smile.
"Beep beep..." After a heavy breath from the other end, the call was disconnected.
Lan Yuxi frowned slightly, then her eyes suddenly lit up. She trotted into the walk-in closet.
"Husband! Husband!"
Nan Xiao was standing there, holding a red, sexy nightgown and trying to stifle a laugh. Hearing her call him, he quickly hid the nightgown.
Lan Yuxi didn't pay any attention to what he was hiding; she was eager to tell him about her new discovery.
"Husband, when I called Second Brother, he was doing that!"
Nan Xiao quickly hid his guilt and asked with a smile, "Doing what?"
Lan Yuxi playfully glared at him and reached out, pulling the nightgown from behind his back, "He's doing what you want to be doing right now!"
Nan Xiao smiled and rubbed his nose, "I don't even know what I want to be doing, how do you know?"
"Hmph!"
Lan Yuxi huffed indignantly, then was swept off her feet by Nan Xiao.
"You want it? Husband will fulfill your wish!"
"You scoundrel! I'm telling you something important!"
"This is important too!"
