Drunk on Marriage, Billionaire's Overindulgent Love-Chapter 657 - 273. [Summer of Dew] _3

The voice was hoarse to the extreme, "That’s enough."

Wanxia, "..."

I’ve seen people who are righteous, but I’ve never seen anyone so shameless.

She acted as if she hadn’t noticed the suppressed flame in the man’s eyes, lowering her head to tidy her crooked shirt collar, "Then I’m hungry, are you leaving or not?"

Just after their lingering, romantic kiss ended, her voice was still soft.

"Yes, let me grab a coat," Gu Shaozhi dared not approach her again, turning to his desk and picking up the now-cold strong tea.

He drank more than half of it, calming some of the restlessness inside.

He took a suit jacket hanging on the coat rack and draped it over Wanxia.

His eyebrows furrowed slightly, scolding in a deep voice, "It’s already this month, and you’re still wearing so little. Don’t you hate getting sick and going to the hospital the most?"

Taking advantage and then turning cold, it’s not the first time he’s done this, so Wanxia wasn’t too surprised.

She looked up, her exquisite face showing a bright and lazy smile, speaking nonchalantly, "I just want to dress like this. If you don’t like it, it doesn’t matter. I won’t listen."

Faced with Miss Ji’s stubborn and untouchable demeanor, Gu Shaozhi felt a bit helpless.

He put the rejected suit jacket back on her, his gaze softening as he looked at her pretty face, "It’s not that I don’t like it; I care about you," he paused and added, "just like you applied medicine for me."

In those deep eyes of his, Wanxia could only see her own reflection. Perhaps his gaze was too profound, she didn’t retort or sarcastically laugh.

She lowered her head, said nothing, letting Gu Shaozhi envelop her slender body in the suit jacket.

The woman standing before him was unusually obedient and gentle. Some of his irritation, caused by her exposed legs and ankles in the air, faded as his voice turned deep, "It’s never good for a girl to catch a cold."

On an autumn night, the temperature wasn’t comfortable, even a bit cold.

With the man’s jacket over her, Wanxia’s breath was filled with his scent. She turned her head, whispering, "You’re so nagging."

Gu Shaozhi wrapped his arm around her waist, smirking, "If you think I’m nagging, wear more clothes when going out tomorrow."

Noticing the office door being pulled open from the inside, Secretary Liu immediately stood up from her chair, handing the keys on the desk to her boss, "Mr. Gu, your car keys."

Although she appeared polite and respectful, presenting the demeanor of a perfect secretary, internally, she was already spinning in circles.

Oh, dear! I can leave work on time today! What a surprise!

She represented all the suffering colleagues to thank the stunning Miss Ji, deeply grateful!

Gu Shaozhi took the car keys, casually hooking them around his finger, leading Wanxia towards the elevator, his voice gentle, "We won’t eat at home tonight; how about going to that riverside Chinese restaurant? You’ve mentioned it several times, and I never had the time to take you."

Today’s weather is great, sunny during the day, and at night...one should be able to see a sky full of stars.

It would be nice to feel the breeze by the river.

Wanxia didn’t like him talking about the past. When she wasn’t smiling, her features seemed a bit indifferent, "Why go so far? I don’t want to go anymore."

Gu Shaozhi gently ruffled her long hair, his voice soft and coaxing, "I want to go see it, just accompany me, hmm?"

He had been to that restaurant a few times in the past four years; it’s very ordinary, with nothing special and quite simple.

The esteemed Mr. Gu of An City, daily visiting only five-star establishments, never considered dining at such a place; he wouldn’t even spare a glance when passing by.

Because Wanxia had mentioned it, Gu Shaozhi decided to visit.

Initially, he didn’t understand what made her obsess over it, but one time he rolled down his car window and overheard local residents chatting after dinner.

Many years ago, there was a breathtakingly beautiful scene here, with thousands of lanterns rising into the night sky. It was a spectacular sight.

That day, Gu Shaozhi understood why she wanted to go there with him.

Because Mrs. Gu once told Mr. Gu, her brother’s eighteenth birthday gift to her was a Sky Lantern.

...

Wanxia raised her head, her smile bright, "I can accompany you, but what will you give me in exchange?"

Gu Shaozhi stopped walking, the complex emotion hidden deep beneath the surface, invisible from above.

He gazed into her clear, bright eyes for a long time and slowly promised, "As long as it’s something I can do, you can have anything you want."
