Gu Yanyu believed that all women in the world were the same.
Pei Wu was too lazy to pretend, while Miss Xu, who also loved to have fun, insisted on pretending to be a well-mannered young lady.
His extravagant wedding night, which even led to his death, earned him the reputation of being a jinx to his wife, and he lived a life that was not human in the Xu family every day.
It was under the pressure of that environment that Gu Yanyu felt bitter, and when he faced Pei Wu, those bitter feelings surged even more intensely.
Even though his feelings for Pei Wu were lukewarm, the woman in front of him had always protected him in the past.
Gu Yanyu pursed his lips and looked at Pei Wu. He had many things he wanted to say to Pei Wu, but unfortunately, he couldn't say anything in this situation.
Now that Gu Yanyu has married into the Xu family, the Gu family can't say much more. Besides, the Gu family's social status is not as high as the Xu family's, so it's not easy for them to have a say. Even though the Gu family has mentioned to the Xu family many times that they want to take their son back, the Xu family has refused them sternly.
In recent years, Gu Yanyu has indeed lived a life of daily humiliation in the Xu family. They seem to believe that the death of their daughter and the setbacks in the Xu family's business are all due to Gu Yanyu.
In order to make myself feel better.
Gu Yanyu took the initiative to reveal his relationship with Pei Wu. Fortunately, Pei Wu was indeed in love with him. Even her secretary was collecting information about Gu Yanyu. The Xu family, whose business had been damaged, still had to rely on the Pei family for survival with their few remaining businesses. Even though they were angry, they could only swallow their anger.
Even allowing Gu Yanyu to attend the wedding of the Pei family's only daughter today was for a specific purpose.
The Xu family wanted to know whether the future head of the Pei family would still have Gu Yanyu in his eyes after the marriage. This was also a way of assessing whether Gu Yanyu still had any value to the Xu family and whether he could still live a comfortable life in the Xu family.
The surroundings were quite noisy, and Pei Wu didn't hear Gu Yanyu call her back. Watching Pei Wu turn and leave, Gu Yanyu reached out and grabbed Pei Wu's arm.
Gu Yanyu stretched out his arm, and his fair wrist, which was slightly exposed from his sleeve, was shockingly marked with several red and purple marks.
Pei Wu took a closer look, but didn't intend to meddle. She simply tugged at her arm slightly, standing a little further away to make their actions seem less ambiguous.
"Is there anything else, Mr. Gu?"
Pei Wu frowned slightly, clearly displeased.
"You still blame me."
Gu Yanyu had seen how Pei Wu loved him, so he couldn't tell whether Pei Wu was still angry with him or truly tired of him at this moment.
"..." Pei Wu's eyelids twitched, and her brows furrowed even more. "I hope Mr. Gu will respect himself and not bring up the past again."
After saying that, Pei Wu left.
With a whoosh, a dazzling firework streaked across the sky. Gu Yanyu subconsciously looked up, but when he looked back, Pei Wu's figure had already disappeared into the crowd of guests.
Shen Yu Nan, who was in the room, also heard the sound of fireworks coming from the garden.
He walked to the window, looked up at the night sky, and felt that the dazzling fireworks looked exceptionally beautiful against the night sky.
As the night deepened outside the window, the guests departed one by one.
Pei Wu, who is least adept at socializing and handling drinking parties, surprisingly raised her glass today to accept congratulations from each of the visiting guests. It should be noted that she has been working with Wei Guangmo for many years, and she only focuses on studying technology, while Wei Guangmo handles all the company's social engagements.
After seeing off the last guest, Pei Wu belatedly realized that the wine she had drunk was making her feel a bit tipsy.
Pei Wu, who always keeps a clear head, was actually a little drunk.
When Pei Wu returned to her room, Shen Yu Nan was still sitting on the edge of the bed. He looked like he was in a daze. He only turned around to look at Pei Wu when he heard the door open.
Pei Wu's cheeks were flushed from drinking, and her usually serious face was softened by the alcohol.
Shen Yu Nan was barefoot; his exquisite leather shoes were left by the bedside. His dark suit trousers covered his snow-white feet, and his round, delicate toes involuntarily curled slightly the moment he heard the door open.
Shen Yu'nan stood up and walked towards the door.
Pei Wu's room was quite large; there was some distance between her bed and the entrance hall.
Shen Yu'nan walked barefoot on the ground, slowly heading towards the door.
Pei Wu knew her alcohol tolerance, but she hadn't drunk alcohol in a long time, and after drinking all day, even though she only took a small sip each time, she was already a little drunk.
After returning to her room, Pei Wu felt even more dizzy. When Shen Yunan saw Pei Wu, she was rubbing her throbbing forehead and stood there without responding to his calls.
"Miss."
“Hmm…” When she heard Shen Yu Nan call her, she looked up at Shen Yu Nan and saw that Pei’s eyes were very red.
Shen Yuhuan stepped forward to support Pei Wu. Only now, when they were closer, did Shen Yuhuan smell the alcohol on Pei Wu. "Miss, have you had too much to drink?"
"Hmm." Pei Wu nodded. She felt that alcohol tolerance was something that needed to be practiced. If you don't drink normally and suddenly drink so much, your body really can't take it.
When Shen Yu Nan put his arm around Pei Wu, he felt her wrap her arms around his waist.
Even through a white shirt, Shen Yu Nan could feel Pei Wu's burning palm.
Pei Wu's hot breath, carrying the scent of alcohol and her pleasant fragrance, slowly entered Shen Yu Nan's nostrils. Although the smell of alcohol on a woman is usually the most unpleasant, Shen Yu Nan found the faint fragrance of red wine on Pei Wu at this moment... somewhat pleasant.
The breath entered Shen Yu Nan's brain through his nostrils, and for some reason, his scalp tingled. Even the chip at the back of his neck was throbbing. Shen Yu Nan's legs felt weak.
It turned out that Pei Wu's arm, which was wrapped around Shen Yu Nan's neck, was covered with a thin layer of sweat. The hormones in her bodily fluids were affecting the chip behind Shen Yu Nan's neck.
With a combination of support and assistance, Shen Yu'nan placed Pei Wu on the bed.
Looking at Pei Wu lying on the bed, Shen Yu Nan's cheeks flushed slightly. Thinking of their previous intimacy, Shen Yu Nan's chip beat even faster.
Moreover, tonight is his wedding night with Pei Wu.
Realizing what was on her mind, Shen Yu'nan's lowered eyelids trembled even more violently.
Perhaps the overhead light was a bit too bright, because Pei Wu subconsciously put her arm across her eyes.
Seeing this, Shen Yu Nan turned off the overhead light, leaving only a warm orange bedside pendant lamp on.
It's just that the lights on top are turned off.
This makes the atmosphere even more ambiguous.
