Kung Fu Baby with 17 Doting Brothers-Chapter 570: Drunk

On the day of the celebration banquet.

Seeing his older brother seriously wrapping a gift, Gu Li couldn’t help but criticize, "Just put it in a bag and take it over. That’s enough."

Seeing Gu Zhuo unmoved, Gu Li added, "He’s not a picky person. Why make it look so nice?"

He muttered internally, remembering that the gift he received last time didn’t seem so exquisite.

"If you have the time and means, just wrap it up nicely." 𝙧𝙚𝙚𝔀𝒆𝓫𝓷𝙤𝓿𝒆𝙡.𝒄𝙤𝓶

Gu Zhuo had a valid reason, and noticing his younger brother constantly shaking his leg, he wondered, "Are you impatient? If so, you can go ahead first."

Gu Li sneered, "Two people sharing a taxi is more cost-effective."

Gu Zhuo: "..." Isn’t his younger brother’s manuscript fee quite high?

Ten minutes later, the two of them left together.

Gu Zhuo glanced at the paper bag Gu Li was casually carrying and curiously asked, "What did you buy? It looks deflated."

"I just bought something random, just to make do."

Gu Zhuo was at a loss for words.

Since it was a small celebration banquet, the venue needed wasn’t very large. The publisher’s boss only booked the largest private room in a restaurant.

The two unexpectedly met a young man at the elevator entrance.

"Hey? Wen Qi, you’re here too?"

Gu Zhuo was somewhat surprised to see Wen Qi in casual attire.

Wen Qi is Wen Li’s brother, so it made sense for him to come. But Gu Zhuo heard that Wen Qi had rarely met with his family in recent years. And Wen Li specifically mentioned that since the publisher is in Jiang City and the celebration banquet is also in Jiang City, he only invited family and friends who were still in Jiang City.

Wen Qi lightly coughed, "I’m just here for a market survey."

Gu Li, being straightforward, said, "Your store is in the north, this is south. The customers’ tastes must be different. There’s no need for a survey unless you’re planning to open a branch here."

Wen Qi: "..."

Gu Zhuo vigorously tugged at his brother’s shirt.

Enough, enough, if you keep talking, this cousin might just run away.

If Wen Qi really turned and left at the door, Wen Li would surely smile at them every day, and just imagining that was terrifying.

"Wow, catching three brothers at once! Miaomiao is so lucky!"

A familiar voice came from behind, breaking the stalemate.

The three turned around and saw a girl in a mint green dress happily waving at them.

Behind her were two young men. One had white hair and golden eyes, handsome and elegant; the other had a buzz cut with sun-kissed skin, healthy and sunny.

Tuanzi also carried a bag, which was a gift prepared for Wen Li to celebrate his new book’s great sales.

Having put thought into preparing a gift, she was especially curious about the gifts everyone else prepared.

Just then the elevator doors opened, and they all squeezed into the narrow space.

Tuanzi took the opportunity to stick close to the cousins, craning her neck to peek at the gifts they prepared.

Gu Zhuo’s gift was tightly wrapped, so she could’t see inside, and could only fixate on gu Li’s paper bag.

Her little nose twitched.

"Is it just me, or does Miaomiao smell medicine?"

She sniffed around like a puppy, trying to catch the scent.

"There is a medicine smell," Tantai Yi confirmed, his gaze landing directly on Gu Li.

Gu Li blew up, "I didn’t buy him any medicinal ointment! Who would go out of their way to find a doctor to buy secret ointments, are you bored?"

The others: "..."

Gu Zhuo grabbed his excited younger brother again.

"Calm down, if you speak too soon and it backfires, you won’t be able to save face."

Gu Li wanted to argue a bit more but noticed his cousin staring directly at the paper bag, so he quickly hid it behind him.

Forget it. I won’t give it. I’ll just order some flowers later instead, he quickly decided, he won’t be embarrassed!

No matter how Gu Li tried to hide, Tuanzi already had an answer.

She shifted her focus to Wen Qi.

Seeing the dessert chef cousin, Tuanzi’s first reaction was, "Pudding, egg tart, ice cream, mochi..."

Someone might think she was ordering food.

"Dear cousin," the snack-loving Tuanzi approached with a ’sibling bond’ expression, "What gift did you prepare for brother Wen Li? Is it a super-sized cake?"

Her left eye said ’want’, the right eye said ’eat’, and she even took a small breath.

Wen Qi, believing himself not closely acquainted with his cousin, felt a slight regret for the first time.

"I came in a hurry, couldn’t find a shop to borrow a kitchen."

After a pause, he added, "The organizer will surely prepare a cake, there will be something to eat."

"Oh, but your cakes are the very best, cousin!"

Tuanzi sweet-talked, "After trying it once, Miaomiao couldn’t forget it, dreamed of going to your shop to eat more, but sadly, we’re too far apart."

The young boss pressed his lips, almost impulsively agreeing.

Li Zhou, seeing his sweet-talking junior sister, puzzledly tilted his head.

But yesterday, didn’t the cousin named Gu Peihai send over several six-inch cakes of different flavors? Didn’t the junior sister enjoy them immensely? At that time, she even stamped her feet with joy, as if intoxicated by the taste.

When they reached the private room, quite a few people were already there, all being Wen Li’s work partners or close editors and writers.

This celebration banquet wasn’t profit-driven, which was why Wen Li was willing to have his family over.

Tuanzi and Tantai Yi had both appeared on the show before, so they weren’t strangers, and quickly mingled in.

Before the main course, there was an abundance of self-serve fruit, snacks, and drinks.

Most people held a juice or champagne, chatting and sipping occasionally.

Tuanzi, however, led Li Zhou, eating from the left side of the long table to the right.

"This is delicious, try it, senior brother."

Even the self-proclaimed large eater Tuanzi yielded in front of her fourth senior brother.

She didn’t force it. When she found something delicious, she’d eat two pieces herself and fill a plate for her senior brother. If she found a drink tasty, she’d elegantly drink one cup and pour five cups for her senior brother.

Li Zhou was initially a bit restrained, but realizing no one paid them any mind, he relaxed and ate from left to right, never feeling full.

After looking after this senior brother, Tuanzi still had another senior brother on her mind.

[Miaomiao: I’m the acting sect leader, I have the duty to take care of every disciple]

She began to flatter herself.

[Ancient Martial System: Self-proclaimed acting sect leader?]

[Miaomiao: Hmph!]

After wandering around, Tuanzi finally found Tantai Yi drinking in a corner.

The man with white hair and golden eyes had a cold expression, his porcelain-white cheeks tinged with a faint blush, like sunset on a snowy mountain.

The table beside him was piled with many empty glasses, and the waiters hadn’t had time to clear them.

"Senior brother, how much have you drunk?"

Tuanzi was dumbfounded as she rushed over, grabbing his knee and catching a faint whiff of alcohol on him.

"Senior brother, so you like drinking, huh? Why don’t you drink usually?"

His somewhat unfocused golden eyes looked at her.

The man remained silent.

Tuanzi tilted her head, raising a chubby paw to wave.

"Senior brother? Hi? Can you see Miaomiao?"
