Chapter 487 I Actually Have a Mouth Too
Old Dong spoke casually.
Gu Nan's expression had already changed.
I know my little girl's personality better than anyone.
If I go home late, she'll surely understand that there's a reason for it.
They will surely understand.
If he really gives you attitude, it must be because Lao Dong said something he shouldn't have.
But then she thought, even if Old Dong said something he shouldn't have, given Su Niannian's personality, she wouldn't show her emotions.
This is clearly a bit strange.
Just as Old Dong put a bite of stir-fried pork into his mouth, he noticed the change in Gu Nan's expression beside him.
He gave a slightly awkward, dry laugh.
"You and your partner have such a good relationship. I only said one thing, and you already gave me a hard time?"
"Alright, your little wife didn't give you a hard time, but she was a little unhappy when she heard that you went drinking with your comrades."
"Women are easy to please, you can just coax them when you get home tonight," Old Dong said with a smile, already raising a glass as if to clink glasses with Gu Nan.
Gu Nan did not raise his glass.
Several comrades over there noticed the situation and, smiling, raised their glasses to ease the awkwardness.
"There are so many people here, it's not right for you two to whisper to each other."
"Come on, let's all have a toast!"
Gu Nan then raised his glass and took a sip.
"I must say, Commander Wang's dishes are really well prepared, they taste amazing." A comrade next to him chewed on his meat and vegetables and said with a look of admiration.
"Haha, if you like it, eat more. It means my preparations weren't in vain." Wang Defa laughed happily after receiving the praise.
He then turned to look at the people present and continued speaking.
"Gu Nan has been promoted to brigade commander for a few days now, which should be a good thing, but he hasn't even mentioned treating everyone to a meal."
“I was thinking that young people might overlook these things when they get busy, so let’s celebrate Gu Nan’s promotion today.” Wang Defa emphasized the words “promotion”.
They also said that Gu Nan was immature and didn't even treat everyone to a meal after his promotion.
No one at the dinner table really noticed what he said.
After all, they were soldiers, used to being straightforward and generous, and didn't really care about such trivial matters.
Gu Nan, however, immediately understood the hidden meaning in Wang Defa's words.
His eyes narrowed.
"Gu Nan has been promoted, how can we let Brigade Commander Wang treat us to a meal? If you ask me, let's wait a couple more days, when everyone is available, and then let Gu Nan treat us. We can have an extra meal together, can't we?" Old Dong chuckled twice and took a sip of his drink as he spoke.
Eating and drinking with brothers is supposed to be a relaxing thing, so none of the people present noticed anything amiss.
Everyone chimed in, saying that Old Dong was right and that Gu Nan should treat everyone to dinner again in a few days.
Gu Nan wasn't a stingy person, and treating others to a meal was no problem for him, but he felt uncomfortable after Wang Defa and Lao Dong said those things to him.
"Promotion is just a normal thing, there's no need to make a big fuss about it and celebrate it."
"If you guys want to drink and eat meat, we're always available," Gu Nan said.
Then he looked at Lao Dong and Wang Defa, "You two, right?" Gu Nan's expression didn't change as he spoke.
He did raise his glass in a gesture of acknowledgment.
This made Lao Dong and Wang Defa feel like they had punched cotton.
It should be noted that Wang Defa has been in the position of brigade commander for more than ten years, with no sign of being promoted.
Although Lao Dong has not been in the position of regimental commander for long, he has worked his way up through the years.
In front of others, becoming a regimental commander at this age is indeed quite remarkable.
But standing in front of Gu Nan, he felt utterly tasteless about being the regimental commander.
When Wang Defa heard Gu Nan say that, he chuckled twice, picked up his wine glass, and took a big gulp.
On the surface, everything seemed calm, but when Wang Defa slammed his wine glass down on the table, it was clear that he had understood Gu Nan's words.
They were all from the military, and after a few drinks, they started chatting about their interesting experiences in the army.
There are also funny stories from when he was a raw recruit.
One moment they burst into laughter, the next they were throwing punches at each other; the atmosphere was quite good.
It wasn't until the liquor on the table was finished that Wang Defa went to open another case of liquor.
Gu Nan glanced at it casually.
Gu Nan glanced at the box of liquor that had just been placed on the ground.
I suspect one of the boxes has been opened.
Gu Nan has a keen eye for observation, so even though it wasn't very obvious, he could still tell that something was wrong.
The appetizers are finished. Is Wang Defa about to start the main course?
Gu Nan was already somewhat prepared.
He reached out and grabbed a handful of fried peanuts from the table.
He put the peanuts in his mouth and started eating them, chatting with his comrades as he ate.
Taking this opportunity, Gu Nan took out the solid spiritual spring water that Su Niannian had prepared from his spatial storage.
The white ball, mixed in with the peanuts, was eaten by Gu Nan.
Su Niannian previously thought these white spheres were a bit too eye-catching, so some of them were placed inside the capsule shell.
Another part is what Gu Nan is eating now, which is still in its original white, spherical state.
Gu Nan consumed a solid spiritual spring water, and his mind instantly became much clearer.
Just now, Gu Nan barely ate any food to be wary of Wang Defa, but he did drink quite a bit of alcohol.
But Gu Nan has a high alcohol tolerance and has never been drunk.
Taking this opportunity to consume the solidified spiritual spring water is also a preparation for what's to come.
So far, Wang Youyou has not been seen. Gu Nan guesses that Wang Youyou should be in a room in this courtyard.
And now, among the cases of liquor that Wang Defa has opened, there must be one bottle that has been spiked.
Is this where Wang Youyou will lose her virginity to him?
Gu Nan narrowed his eyes, pretending not to know anything, and continued listening to his comrades chatting next to him.
Over there, Wang Defa first placed four bottles of baijiu on the table and asked everyone to open them and share them.
Then he took out a bottle of liquor from the box and slowly walked to Gu Nan's side.
"Xiao Gu, you are indeed a talent. You were promoted to regimental commander at a young age, and then promoted to brigade commander."
"You're on equal footing with me! You're so young, it's truly remarkable." Brigade Commander Wang said with a smile.
However, his smile didn't seem very sincere, but he had already tried his best.
Gu Nan's path to promotion was something he envied.
How he wished he could have such a career path!
If you don't have it yourself but others do, you'll always feel envious.
Such a good young man, such an outstanding person, it's only natural that his daughter would be interested in him.
Tonight, and after tonight, no matter how outstanding Gu Nan is, he will be my son-in-law.
Thinking about this, the jealousy I felt earlier dissipated considerably.
