Chapter 171: Don’t Spoil Her So Much
About ten people were gathered in the private room, making for a lively scene.
Gu Siyu was extremely happy. She was naturally a playful girl. After staying in China for a few months, she had no friends and was alone every day. At most, she would be with Bei Ming Hao Chen, which was truly incredibly boring.
“Siyu, long time no see. You should drink a few more glasses.”
“That’s right. It’s been so long. Come on, at least three cups.”
Several people argued and vied with each other. Gu Siyu had no choice but to brace herself and drink. She actually couldn’t drink alcohol, but after three cups, she felt a bit dizzy and her face turned red.
“Oh, Siyu is shy now. Is it because you haven’t seen Ming Yi for too long?”
“Hahaha, Ming Yi has been thinking about Siyu a lot lately. He mentions her whenever he has nothing else to do.”
Ming Yi liked Gu Siyu; it seemed to be something everyone in their circle knew. Because they had a close relationship, they joked around without restraint.
Gu Siyu chuckled, “What are you talking about? It’s not like I haven’t seen Brother Yi. Aren’t you all the same?”
“That’s different. Yu Yu, your significance to Ming Yi is extraordinary,”
Aili said with a smile, holding a glass of red wine and swirling it.
“What’s so extraordinary? Everyone is the same. If you keep saying that, I’ll be too embarrassed to stay here.”
“Perhaps, Brother Yi will scold me later.”
The group had an exceptionally good time. By the time they finished, it was already past ten in the evening.
Gu Siyu had been forced to drink some alcohol at the beginning, but Ming Yi blocked all the subsequent drinks. Even so, she was still a bit dizzy.
“Hey, Sister Aili, why don’t I give you a ride home?”
Although Gu Siyu was disoriented, she still remembered Aili.
Aili hadn’t drunk any alcohol and was perfectly clear-headed. Seeing Ming Yi holding Gu Siyu in his embrace, she understood everything. She smiled with a hint of self-mockery, “No need, I can get home myself.”
“As for you, you’ve drunk so much. If you don’t have someone to take you home, won’t your Mommy scold you?”
It wasn’t ideal for a girl to go home after drinking at night.
Another boy noticed the situation and quickly stepped in to smooth things over, “Siyu, let Ming Yi take you home. I’ll be responsible for getting Aili home safely.”
“Bye-bye, see you next time?~”
Saying this, he pulled Aili and turned to get into another car.
Ming Yi said goodbye to the group and then took Gu Siyu home.
The car drove slowly, with the window open. The cool night breeze blew through. Perhaps worried that Gu Siyu would feel uncomfortable from drinking, Ming Yi deliberately slowed down the car.
The little girl’s face was flushed, and she was half-slumped in the passenger seat, pouting her lips, her hair slightly messy and falling onto her cheeks.
Ming Yi occasionally glanced at the little girl, controlling the steering wheel with one hand and gently tucking a strand of hair from her cheek behind her ear with the other.

“This girl, she went out to have fun as soon as she got back.”
“Ming Yi, don’t spoil her too much, or she’ll become unruly. She’s just a child, she can’t always be thinking about going out and having fun.”
When they returned to Gu Siyu’s chambers in the Imperial Palace, Gu Siyu’s Mother and Father were already waiting in the room. Even though they knew she had gone out with Ming Yi, they were still a bit worried about her going out right after returning to the country.
“I’m sorry, it’s my fault. I took her out.”
