Gu Jingchen's lips curved up slightly, clearly showing he didn't take Shang Pinhao's aggressiveness and arrogance to heart.
"Smoke?"
Shang Pinhao didn't respond to Gu Jingchen's words directly. Instead, he picked up a cigarette and handed one to Gu Jingchen.
"I don't smoke."
With a simple and refined gesture, Gu Jingchen waved his hand to decline, his voice remaining calm and clear.
"Why not? Think my cigarettes are too cheap?"
Although Shang Pinhao felt grateful, he intentionally acted indifferent, even going out of his way to be prickly. After all, he was going to be the elder brother-in-law someday. At crucial moments, he had to stand up for his sister. Regardless of how much Gu Jingchen had contributed to their family, appearances still had to be maintained.
"Xixia doesn't like it when I smoke."
