Accidentally Married to the Big Shot-Chapter 87 - : Put Away the Lust in Your Eyes
Chapter 87 -87: Put Away the Lust in Your Eyes
The socialites were discussing the two brothers of the Gu Family.
“The two brothers are rarely seen together,” said the banker’s daughter. “Could it be that they don’t get along?”
“Some say the Young Commander seldom returns home. It’s normal for them not to be seen together all the time. As for whether they get along, who knows? Siblings from such families usually don’t—it’s just something we all understand without saying.”
Zhou Yuan chimed in from the side, “They do get along. The brothers have a good relationship.”
The ladies just glanced at her indifferently and ignored her.
Another tycoon’s daughter said, “Still, I favor Gu Cheng, the elder brother. He really has charisma—the height, the build, and even his butt is perky, right?”
...
“But, why doesn’t he marry? Does he not like women?” asked another elite’s daughter.
Zhou Yuan said, “My dad says that men who delay marriage generally don’t like kids and lack compassion. You should be careful when choosing such a partner.”
Naturally, her words fell on deaf ears.
The ladies all believed his single status was because he hadn’t found the right person, or perhaps, they were the right ones!
Seeing that she couldn’t fit in here, Zhou Yuan no longer forced herself to blend in and went looking for another companion with her drink glass in hand.
However, the adults seemed to be chatting, but they were actually networking for business, and the kids were roughhousing in groups. Being newly an adult, Zhou Yuan appeared too naive among adults and too mature to play with kids.
Then she spotted a Husky not far away.
She decided to play with the dog.
“Hi, what’s your name?” Zhou Yuan asked, reaching out to pet it.
The Husky was initially docile, scratching at its leash as if to suggest that Zhou Yuan should set it free.
“You want to come out and play, huh? That’s fine, but you have to promise me one thing—you must behave and let me lead you by the leash.”
The Husky seemed to understand and even nodded at Zhou Yuan.
As Zhou Yuan unclipped the leash, the cunning Husky didn’t give her a chance to react and darted off the moment it was freed.
“Hey, you…” Zhou Yuan failed to grab the leash and took a nosedive.
She hurriedly chased after it.
The Husky, now completely out of control, excitedly darted around due to the rare sight of so many people.
“Ah, a dog!” screamed a socialite.
“Oh, my drink!” A waiter got bumped, and his tray of glasses shattered.
It then dashed onto a table to eat some cake, and seeing someone chasing it, jumped down and scurried under the table, pulling the tablecloth and toppling the food.
Zhou Yuan grew more anxious and continued to chase after it, crawling where it crawled, but still couldn’t catch it.
The party scene was in utter chaos!
Not until someone blew a whistle did the Husky calm down and run towards the source of the sound.
Zhou Yuan also ran to the person who blew the whistle.
She had caused havoc at the party scene and was tired, disheveled, and frightened. Now, seeing the Husky finally quiet down, the whistler seemed like a savior to her.
A savior… and so handsome!
Standing at six foot one, dressed in a tailored suit, his face mature and handsome, his gaze steady yet with a hint of youthful flair.
It was as if the Er Lang God had descended from Heaven.
The Husky obediently sat down at his feet, resembling the Howling Celestial Dog.
In that moment, Zhou Yuan was completely captivated by Gu Cheng.
People around began to complain, “Was that dog scared just now? Who let it out? Look at my dress—it’s haute couture, cost eighty thousand.”
“My gown was even more expensive.”
“And my bag.”
“… ”
A child pointed at Zhou Yuan and exclaimed, “It was her! I saw her unclip Er Ha.”
Facing a crowd filled with resentment, Zhou Yuan felt extremely guilty.
If she admitted it, she’d face scolding and possibly have to compensate for their losses—that could be millions!
She thought, better to accept the responsibility alone and make amends!
Just when she was about to step forward, Gu Cheng spoke.
“Ladies and gentlemen, please remain calm. My dog was at fault today. Any damages caused will be covered by me. You all can go to my house to tidy up, and if you need to buy anything, just speak to my butler.”
Zhou Yuan said, “No, no, let me take responsibility. It was indeed me who unleashed the dog, thinking I could handle walking it, but I couldn’t keep hold.”

Gu Cheng said casually, “You are a guest, and this dog is indeed from my family. It doesn’t make sense for you to bear the responsibility.”
“This is really my fault.”
“No need to say more, let’s leave it at that,” Gu Cheng said.
The guests, not daring to hold grudges, listened to Gu Cheng and went to tidy up.
Gu Cheng squatted down, gave the Husky a pat on the head, and with a tone of reproach said, “You really are a troublemaker. If you do this again, it’ll be into the pot with you.”
Zhou Yuan couldn’t help but giggle at this.
She squatted down too and said, “You wouldn’t dare. You’re so fond of your dog, I can tell you’re a compassionate person. By the way, what’s its name?”
Gu Cheng glanced at Zhou Yuan.
Zhou Yuan, with her hair a mess, face smeared with cake cream, and hands dirty from the ground, made him frown involuntarily.
Zhou Yuan still inquired, “It doesn’t have a name?”
“It’s called Ah Dai.”
Zhou Yuan hastily complimented, “Good name!”
Gu Cheng ignored Zhou Yuan and walked away with Ah Dai.
Watching his retreating figure, Zhou Yuan thought he looked incredibly handsome.
Zhou Yuan then washed her face and reapplied her makeup. When she came out, the banquet hall had been tidied up and the guests had freshened up, making it seem as if the earlier chaos had never happened.
Then, the dance was about to start.
When the butler announced that guests could invite their favorite partners to dance, Zhou Yuan noticed many young women eyeing Gu Cheng eagerly.
Quick on her feet, Zhou Yuan was the first to reach Gu Cheng and extended her hand, “Big brother, may I have this dance with you?”
Gu Cheng recognized Zhou Yuan as the girl who had let his dog out.
He didn’t really want to accept, but seeing that many other young socialites were looking at him, if he didn’t dance with Zhou Yuan, he’d have to dance with someone else.
Might as well dance with Zhou Yuan.
Just a little girl after all, he thought, as if he were indulging a child.
Gu Cheng took her hand and they began to dance to the music.
Zhou Yuan couldn’t have been happier at that moment, her heartbeat racing, her eyes admiringly fixed on Gu Cheng’s face.
Gu Cheng, looking down, saw Zhou Yuan’s face smiling mischievously and frowned again.
“Big brother, can you stop frowning? Look at the lines between your brows, you could crack a walnut with them.”
“Can you tone down the desire in your eyes a bit?” Gu Cheng asked.
“Desire? Is it that obvious?”
