Chapter 1 Jian Yao, bigamy is against the law

In the dim corridor of the bar, the girl's slender figure leaned in the man's arms, looking up at the man's delicate eyebrows.

"Be engaged to me."

Not far away, the flashing neon lights of the dance floor fell on the man’s cold white cheeks. Half of his face was hidden in the shadows, and his expression could not be seen clearly.

He fixed his eyes on the girl's flushed cheeks and hazy eyes, pursed his lips that were broken by her, and said in a low and hoarse voice, "Jian Yao, you've got the wrong person."

He steadied the girl's fallen body and took a half step back.

Seeing that he was about to leave, the drunk girl staggered forward and raised her soft white arms to block his way. However, she overestimated her ability to control her body at the moment, and threw herself into the man's arms again in a panic.

The girl's delicate arms instinctively climbed onto his shoulders, and her light breath with the scent of wine fell by his ears.

Gu Zhiyan instinctively reached out to support her waist and looked down at the girl in front of him.

She still tilted her head back, her eyes red, as if she had just cried.

Meeting his gaze, she forced a fragile smile and said in a gentle tone, "Gu Zhiyan, I didn't recognize the wrong person."

"no……"

The hand that was resting on her waist instantly clasped her slender waist.

Half an hour later.

Jian Yao was lying on the sofa with a sobering teacup in her hand, rubbing her head which was aching as a result of the hangover, and her thoughts gradually came back to her senses.

"Director Jian, Miss Liu cut her wrists. President Lu is in Shanghai now and may not be able to return in time for the engagement party."

Even though a whole night had passed, Jian Yao still couldn't help but hold her breath when she recalled these words again, and the fingertips holding the cup turned slightly white.

She and Lu Chengze grew up in the same orphanage. From her earliest memories to her teenage years, she had always been by Lu Chengze's side, taking his words as her gospel.

It was not until high school that she was found and taken back by the Jian family.

Lu Chengze was finally recognized by the Lu family and taken back home.

Because she liked Lu Chengze, she used the resources of the Jian family to help him attract business and investment, and step by step promoted him to the position of Lu's heir.

Everyone around her knew that she loved Lu Chengze terribly, but Lu Chengze held Liu Yiyi in his hands.

He even missed her and Lu Chengze's engagement party for her.

He trampled on her and Jane's faces under his feet.

When she was preparing for the engagement party with great anticipation and thought she was finally going to marry her true love, her childhood sweetheart, however, abandoned her and went to Shanghai to be with another woman.

How ridiculous!

Jian Yao felt as if a huge hand was gripping her chest, causing the blood in her body to freeze and suffocate her to the point where she couldn't breathe.

She clutched the thin blanket tightly around herself and curled up on the sofa, trying to hold the cup tightly in her hand to absorb the remaining warmth from it.

The door opened with a creak.

Then, the light in the room was turned on, and the warm yellow light instantly dispelled the darkness.

"Are you clear-headed?"

Hearing the man's slow voice, Jian Yao paused, and for a moment, embarrassment overwhelmed the sadness in her heart.

She raised her eyes and looked at the person who came. She hadn't slept all night and had cried. Her eyes were red and swollen. "I have been very sober the whole time."

She was drunk just now, and although she couldn't control her movements, her mind was clear.

I've never been so awake.

The man leaned lazily against the door frame, his arms folded in a casual posture, and the end of his voice rose slightly.

"Are you sure?"

The slender fingertips stroked the red lips, and the crimson corner of the lips was particularly eye-catching.

With that impeccable face, there is a kind of broken beauty that makes people want to ravage it.

It's ambiguous, charming, and a little sexy.

Jian Yao's heart trembled, and he instinctively touched his head which was hurt by the collision. Scattered memories flooded into his mind.

The decadent bar corridors were filled with exciting music.

She was thinking about the most suitable person to help her through the difficult times, and she happened to see Gu Zhiyan passing by. In a hurry, she reached out to stop him, but accidentally bumped into his arms and hit his lips with her forehead...

She even asked him shamelessly if he wanted to get engaged to her.

Although she knew that she was very serious, but from Gu Zhiyan's perspective.

No matter how you look at it, she looks like a pervert who flirts with decent married women...

Jian Yao blushed and opened her mouth, wanting to explain something.

Gu Zhiyan had already withdrawn the fingers from his lips and made a soft "tsk" sound. His voice was low, magnetic, and breathy.

"Forget it, if you say sober, then sober up."

He acted as if, even though I was molested, it didn't matter if you didn't admit it.

“…”

Jian Yao pursed her lips, feeling that something was wrong, but she couldn't find any reason to refute it.

After all, there are both witnesses and evidence.

Jian Yao's clear eyes fell on his slightly broken lips, and she spoke inexplicably, "We can't just let it go like this."

Her eyes were serious as she brought up the past.

"Gu Zhiyan, get engaged to me."

Out of the corner of his eye, Gu Zhiyan straightened his back a little, raised his hand to unbutton a button, revealing his delicate collarbone, his eyes sparkling.

"Jian Yao, bigamy is against the law."

He tilted his head and chuckled. The red scar on his lips looked unusually tender against his cold white skin.

"Besides, Mr. Lu and I are at odds. Aren't you afraid of a fire in your backyard?"
