When My Two Worthy Brothers Get Married, Big Brother Must Sit at the Head Table

When My Two Worthy Brothers Get Married, Big Brother Must Sit at the Head Table

Paradise, fifth-floor private room.

"Come, come, come. The three of us brothers will share this toast. I'll drink it all; you two can do as you please!" With that, he tipped back his head and drained the cup.

The two exchanged glances. He could clearly see that Gu Lin was used to this; apparently, Xia Mingxuan had made such grand declarations more than once.

Isn't this hierarchy a little off?

Is he going to drag them into becoming sworn brothers later?

Why does Xia Mingxuan look like he's about to cry? It feels like an old father marrying off his son...

It was not just Lin Su who thought so. Even Gu Lin vaguely felt that Xia Mingxuan's emotions were unusually impassioned. Had something provoked him? Was Xia Mingxuan really this fragile?

After showing off by downing a cup of wine, Xia Mingxuan saw that the wine in their cups had not moved at all and said unhappily, "Hey, why aren't you drinking?"

Gu Lin took the tea and poured him a cup, then raised his own wineglass and said calmly, "Lin Su has to drive, so he'll use tea in place of wine. We'll toast you."

Naturally, Lin Su knew that Gu Lin was merely finding him a suitable excuse. He raised the cup of tea before him and said softly, "Thank you for your kindness. It's inconvenient today; we'll drink to our hearts' content next time."

Xia Mingxuan slapped the table and shouted passionately, "Good! My worthy brother is straightforward!"

Why does this feel like an ancient drinking scene?

Lin Su drank the tea at his lips and sat down calmly.

Could he be drunk?

That won't do. Alcohol may be good, but drinking too much is never good.

He was about to speak up and persuade him when a large hand beneath the table stopped him. Looking up, he caught Gu Lin's meaningful gaze. Lin Su instantly understood and said nothing more.

Xia Mingxuan poured himself another cup and staggered over to Gu Lin. "Wonderful! My Little Lin has finally found a good match."

As he spoke, he hooked an arm around Gu Lin's neck and widened his eyes at Lin Su. "Luckily, it wasn't that Divine Sweetheart Omega."

The moment those words came out, Lin Su's hand, holding food with his chopsticks, froze in midair. Sweetheart? Omega? Why did that sound so familiar?

Gu Lin also furrowed his brow. It was indeed familiar. That was the title of the book Lin Su had mentioned.

Could Xia Mingxuan know too?

Thinking it over, Xia Mingxuan's hesitation three years ago and his frequent probing calls while abroad made more sense. At first, Gu Lin had only assumed Xia Mingxuan had been unable to let go of what happened before.

Later, Xia Mingxuan would occasionally bring it up, intentionally or otherwise, while teasing him. His earlier suspicions had finally been confirmed.

Xia Mingxuan also knew the secret of this world. That made him the third person around Gu Lin.

Lin Su could hear inner thoughts.

Xia Mingxuan, after drinking, could not conceal his excitement and carelessly blurted it out.

And then there was that strange Mu Xiaomu. She had clearly been sent by Old Master Gu, yet she kept intentionally or unintentionally trying to bring Lin Su and him together. Every time she succeeded, she would always smile in a very "strange" way.

On the day of the banquet, Gu Lin had specifically checked the surveillance footage. He discovered that after Mu Xiaomu went to his room and found no one there, she headed straight for the fourth floor—the place where Lin Su and he were.

She had deliberately avoided the cameras. In particular, when she noticed them coming out of the elevator, she seemed to breathe a sigh of relief. Only after their room door closed did Mu Xiaomu leave with a radiant smile.

She probably never imagined that her actions had been exposed in perfect detail by the small camera above the corridor.

He had investigated this "Mu Xiaomu." When Old Master Gu had bought her off two months ago, she had still appeared timid and weak. Now, her personality seemed like that of an entirely different person.

A different person? Could soul transmigration truly exist in this world?

"What are you thinking about?" Lin Su lightly patted the person beside him, who had drifted off.

Could the alcohol be too strong? Is he drunk too?

Gu Lin finally regained his focus. The peach-blossom eyes before him were filled with concern, and Lin Su's faint brows were drawn tight. Gu Lin's dark eyes softened as he said slowly, "Nothing. Don't worry."

"Let's go."

As soon as he spoke, Gu Lin stepped forward and pulled him up, stopping Lin Su's hand when he tried to help.

"I'll do it."

Lin Su pushed up his glasses, which happened to conceal the curve at the corner of his lips. He walked ahead and quietly pushed open the private room door.

Why hadn't I noticed Gu Lin was so childish before?

Childish? Was he childish? Gu Lin was somewhat puzzled. Even after reaching the lobby, he could not figure out how he had been childish.

Paradise was a large hotel. Unlike other hotels, it had three underground levels. The lowest level was a nightclub-like venue, though of course not just anyone could enter.

The hotel lobby was magnificently decorated, its marble floor gleaming. A waiter supported the already drunk and sleeping Xia Mingxuan from the front, while Lin Su and Gu Lin followed close behind.

It was nine at night, and there were already quite a few wealthy young heirs in the lobby. Their purpose was obvious: Paradise's nightclub.

Just then, someone familiar approached them.

Gu Jie had not expected that entertaining a client would lead him to run into Gu Lin. What a narrow road for enemies!

Lin Su naturally noticed him too. Seeing that Gu Lin's expression remained unchanged, he also pretended not to see him.

"What a coincidence, President Gu." A casually dressed man approached with a smile.

Lin Su knew this man. His name was Zhao Yan. Behind him stood not only Blue Bo, but also an uncle in the Land Administration Office.

Not long ago, Lin Su had heard that Gu Corporation wanted the plot of land in East City. The bidding deadline seemed to be less than two weeks away. The two of them appearing here at this time could not mean anything good, could it?

Gu Lin gave a slight nod. "President Zhao, good evening."

Gu Jie stood behind him, completely unwilling to step forward. But in order to maintain his image as a good person in public, he took a step forward and adopted the manner of a caring older brother. "Little Lin, you came here to eat too?"

What else would someone do at a restaurant if not eat?

That fake smile is getting hard to watch.

Thinking this, Lin Su looked away and stood quietly at the side, acting as though he were invisible.

This battlefield of upper-class people has nothing to do with an assistant like me.

I'll just wait for this to end.

What he did not know was that although he looked gentle on the surface, Gu Lin heard every movement of his inner thoughts clearly.

Since even his assistant was waiting to clock out, there was no need for him to keep circling around with these people.

"I heard long ago that President Gu had a strikingly beautiful beta by his side. Tonight, I've finally seen him."

Under Gu Lin's slightly darkened gaze, Zhao Yan smiled and moved closer to the person beside him. The darkness in his eyes put Gu Lin on guard.

What is this? I'm just an assistant here to make up the numbers.

Tsk, I remember now.

Zhao Yan is famous for liking Alpha-Beta relationships. He especially likes slender-looking Alphas and Omegas.

Just as Gu Lin was about to move closer, Xia Mingxuan, who had been supported by the waiter, suddenly straightened up. His expression looked unpleasant, and gurgling sounds came from his throat.

Gu Lin immediately, and quite shamelessly, dragged Lin Su away from this place of trouble.

Sure enough, accompanied by a "Bleurgh," vomit splattered everywhere. Whether intentional or not, it landed right on the unfortunate Gu Jie. After vomiting, Xia Mingxuan grabbed the waiter and headed for the front desk to get water.

"Ahhh!" As Gu Jie screamed and flailed, no one near him escaped unscathed.

In an instant, the people who had come with Gu Jie lost all interest. Zhao Yan especially had gotten quite a bit on himself because of Gu Jie. One second he had wanted to flirt with a beauty; the next, he left at top speed with a dark face.

Lin Su and Gu Lin exchanged a glance, then hauled Xia Mingxuan, who was not far away, out of there.

He fastened his seat belt. "We're leaving." As soon as he spoke, he stepped on the gas and sped away.

Just after they drove out of the hotel entrance, the man in the back seat suddenly sat up. Red-faced, he patted his chest and said solemnly, "When my two worthy brothers get married, Big Brother must sit at the head table!"

After saying that, he flopped back down and fell asleep again.

Lin Su laughed without much sympathy and glanced at the person beside him. "Is he always like this?"

Gu Lin was equally helpless. He closed his eyes and nodded, feeling somewhat embarrassed.
