Chapter 148 I Know My Limits

When the graduation ball ended, no one dared to approach Gu Ji and invite her to dance. It wasn't that no boys liked Gu Ji, but anyone who saw Dan Anwen always by her side would be scared away.

The man stood beside her almost like a protector all night, exuding an intense possessiveness.

Anyone who tried to get close to Gu Ji was driven back by the man's warning gaze, which silently released his oppressive aura.

"Zhao Zhao, Uncle Dan is really awesome." Guan Xiang gave Gu Ji a thumbs up with her wet hands.

If it weren't for the fact that they were in the restroom, she wouldn't have dared to approach Zhao Zhao and say such things, since she still had some respect for Uncle Dan.

Especially now that he's her best friend's boyfriend, she doesn't know how to interact with Uncle Dan anymore.

Gu Ji could only force a smile, but his eyes were full of happiness, and he showed no sign of impatience at being controlled.

Seeing Gu Ji's sweet expression, Guan Xiang sighed deeply, shook her head, and lamented, "A wise man doesn't fall in love. You've changed, Zhao Zhao."

After drying his hands, Gu Ji pulled Guan Xiang out of the bathroom and said with a smile, "Stop sighing, let's hurry up and go to the class reunion, they're all getting impatient."

Their class scheduled their graduation reunion right after the dance, at night.

After Dan Anwen drove Gu Ji and the others to Nightfall, he clearly had something to say to Gu Ji. Dan Si and Guan Xiang also wisely went upstairs first, leaving the two of them alone.

Seeing that Dan Si, that annoying little tail, had finally left, Dan Anwen pulled Gu Ji into a corner, hugged her tightly, rested his chin on the top of her head, and said in a muffled voice, "Don't drink later. Call me if anything happens. I'll be upstairs."

He couldn't attend the children's graduation reunion, so he could only give them his repeated instructions here.

Gu Ji nodded obediently, her voice soft and sweet, "I understand. I'll contact you immediately if anything happens, and I won't get drunk like before."

She remembered the first time she got drunk, and how she did all sorts of embarrassing things in front of him; she still felt a little shy thinking about it now.

But the man didn't mean that he thought her drunken antics were bad; on the contrary, he thought she was cute. However, such a beautiful and alluring scene couldn't be seen by other boys, not even male classmates.

The man's possessiveness is extremely strong, but he will restrain himself and not let the child fully notice, for fear of frightening her.

Dan An heard that she had misunderstood, but he didn't intend to correct her; as long as the goal was achieved, that was enough.

Dan An felt the head twitching at his chin, gently clenched it with his large hand, bent down and pressed his thin lips to her soft, rosy lips, caressing them for a moment before releasing Gu Ji, whose eyes were red-rimmed.

He patted her head and said, "Let's go upstairs."

Gu Ji was a little dazed and followed the man out of the corner in a daze. It took her a while to realize, "My lipstick."

She had dressed up elaborately today, with a full face of exquisite makeup, but after being kissed by a man like that, who knows how smudged it all.

Dan Anwen's dark and deep gaze fell on Gu Ji's flushed cheeks, and he said in a restrained voice, "Don't worry, I know what I'm doing, my makeup isn't ruined."

Gu Ji then removed her hand from her lips and said coquettishly, "It's all your fault."

Although her makeup hadn't smudged, she could tell that her complexion was definitely rosy, which meant something was amiss.

A faint smile appeared in Dan Anwen's eyes as he chuckled and hooked her fair fingers around hers. "It's all my fault, but you look so tempting today. It's been so hard not to kiss you all night."

When men say sweet nothings, it's so cloying it's almost sickening, and naive girls can't resist it. They forgive his actions in an instant.

However, what he said wasn't entirely false. The girl wore a dress adorned with sparkling crystal chains, and her face was illuminated by the crystals with every smile and gesture. Her originally straight black hair had been transformed into soft, wavy curls, making her look gentle and charming.

Especially when she looked up at him with her big, watery eyes, it took all his willpower to refrain from kissing her for a whole night.

After spending some time cuddling with Gu Ji downstairs, Dan Anwen personally escorted her to the private room before going upstairs to find Shen Jiyang.

"Hey, what brings a married man like you to Nightfall to see me today!" Shen Jiyang was playing cards with Hang Yan when Dan Anwen pushed the door open and immediately put down his cards to speak to him.

Dan Anwen glanced at Shen Jiyang but didn't respond.

"I knew you were a fickle person who would betray his principles for the sake of a pretty face. We rarely see the second brother, and you're always at home with your little friend. It's just me and the eldest brother left." Shen Jiyang pretended to be heartbroken, covering his chest with his hands and showing a pitiful expression.

Since Gu Ji was approaching the college entrance examination, the group of friends wanted to invite Dan Anwen out to play, but every time they made an excuse that they had to stay home to tutor their child with homework.

He finally made it to his child's high school graduation, but now he's too lazy to even give an excuse and just says he has to go on a date with his girlfriend to get rid of them.

For the past few months, he and Hang Yan have been the only two people drinking and playing cards at night, which has been quite lonely and boring.

Dan Anwen kicked Shen Jiyang's leg away without any mercy, sat down next to him and said, "Stop pretending. You have no girlfriend entirely because of your own fault."

Hang Yan, who was standing to the side, agreed with this. Ever since the news of Shen Jiyang's homosexuality and bisexuality spread in the circle, not many women dared to approach him anymore.

The old man's nagging has lessened, but it has also ended his previous irresistible charm with women, since not many women want to get sick.

"I was completely tricked by that little girl Dan Shu," Shen Jiyang said angrily.

Her idea worked very well, but the side effects were also extremely serious: very few women were willing to approach him anymore, for fear that he had a disease.

Dan Shu: You agreed to this yourself; I just didn't tell you about the aftereffects.

"Good luck to you." Dan Anwen smiled, took a sip of red wine, and looked smug.

Shen Jiyang blinked his peach blossom eyes repeatedly, sighed, and said, "You came to Nightfall tonight, does your child have any objections?"

"She's downstairs attending a class reunion."

Shen Jiyang's mood worsened. It turned out that he was able to see Dan Anwen at the Nightfall today because Gu Ji was attending a class reunion downstairs!

He said that a good boyfriend with good character would not go out and play behind his girlfriend's back.

It seems he followed her here eagerly, worried about leaving her alone downstairs.

Shen Jiyang scoffed, "Fine, you have a girlfriend, so what?"

Dan Anwen straightened his expression, looking like a serious person. "Yeah, having a girlfriend is really amazing. It's more fun than closing a big business deal. It's something a single dog like you can't understand."

"Hey, when I had a girlfriend, you were just a little kid. You're saying I have no experience?" Shen Jiyang was almost laughing in anger. You know, he already had a girlfriend when he was still wearing open-crotch pants.

Dan Anwen took a sip of red wine with his thin lips, closed his eyes and savored the aroma, just smiled and said nothing.

Seeing this, Hang Yan smiled and thought to himself, "I wonder when Shen Jiyang, this playboy, will settle down. I wonder where his future wife is."

However, the third brother was quick. He personally raised a little girl and then lured her step by step into his den of wolves. The little girl probably didn't even know when she had fallen for him.

He had to admire the third brother's cunning; sometimes his foresight was beyond their comprehension.

"Alright, don't be envious of Lao San having a girlfriend while you don't," Hang Yan said, suppressing a laugh in a seemingly comforting tone.

Shen Jiyang glanced at Hang Yan with his peach blossom eyes, silently thinking that they were both old foxes.

Isn't this clearly saying he envies the third brother?

It's just a girlfriend; if he wants to find one, it's a piece of cake.

Seeing that Shen Jiyang had calmed down, Hang Yan smiled and asked Dan Anwen, "Next time, bring your child up to play."

Dan Anwen shook her head with a slight smile. "Forget it. She doesn't want to make our relationship public yet. If she finds out you guys already know, she'll definitely be angry with me."

On the night he confirmed his relationship with the girl, he called Hang Yan and the others in the middle of the night to announce his good news. Unexpectedly, it got stuck on the girl, otherwise the news would have spread throughout the business world by now.

Thinking of this, Dan Anwen also felt a headache coming on.
