Chapter 60 A-Shu's Deep Affection
Yang Yao stumbled from being bumped by Chu Chu, and when she looked up, she met Chu Chu's gloomy, reddened eyes, which seemed to be filled with ice.
Yang Yao trembled, opened her mouth but dared not say anything more, and left dejectedly. Before leaving, she glared fiercely at Shen Zhen, her gaze as cold as a leech, making one very uncomfortable.
Chu Chu subtly blocked Yang Yao's view, watching her departing figure and wondering if she would still have a chance if the old man returned. After all, her maternal grandfather would definitely not agree to her sister's refusal to marry or have children, but he couldn't control her! Her parents were open-minded and would definitely like Zhenzhen.
After Yang Yao left, Jiang Yu pulled Shen Zhen aside and looked after the two from the Gu family, shouting loudly, "Hey, forget about that crazy woman, come and play with us! Let's play Truth or Dare."
Zhong Li casually picked up an empty wine bottle and spun it on the table, whereupon Jiang Che fell victim to it.
Zhong Li lazily opened her eyes and tapped the table with her fingers. "Truth or dare?"
Jiang Che felt like he was being questioned by his boss, and suddenly felt very pressured. Just like Zhong Li and Gu Yushu, why was the atmosphere so low?
Jiang Che hesitated for a moment, then made up his mind and said, "Truth or dare."
"Oh? Little Che'er, Yong!" Jiang Yu exclaimed immediately from the side.
Zhong Li gave a sly smile. "Call a friend and tell him you miss him, except for everyone here."
After much deliberation, Jiang Che nervously dialed Chu Pei's number. Every beep during the call felt like a thud in his heart, making his heart race.
"Hello?" Chu Pei's magnetic voice came through the receiver, like a lover whispering in his ear, making Jiang Che's heart flutter. He gripped the phone and quickly shouted, "Assistant Chu, I miss you!"
Without waiting for Chu Pei's response, Jiang Che immediately hung up the phone, his face turning bright red.
"Little Che'er, you have a clear goal!" Jiang Yu said with a smile.
Jiang Che turned off his phone, tossed it aside, and started spinning a bottle of wine. "Let's continue!"
This time, the bottle was pointed at Chu Chu. "Truth or dare?"
Chu Chu said calmly, "A dare."
Jiang Che immediately perked up and said with a mischievous grin, "I'm going to confess my love to you through your pinned WeChat account."
Chu Chu paused for a moment, then thought of who was pinned to the top of her WeChat profile. Her eyes fell; she had no right to confess. Chu Chu picked up her wine glass. "My girlfriend will be jealous. I admit defeat. I'll punish myself with three drinks!"
Chu Chu downed three large glasses of wine, and Jiang Yu whistled. Gu Yushu looked at Chu Chu with an inscrutable expression. This cousin of hers had always seemed carefree and unrestrained, but had never truly been sincere. This time, however, she was devoted to Zhenzhen. Yushu sneered inwardly. Chen Zhen belonged to her alone. Hadn't she used all those tricks of Chu Chu's before? How naive!
After playing around for a while, the bottle was finally pointed at Gu Yushu. Jiang Che swallowed hard. "Mr. Gu, would you like to choose truth or dare?"
Gu Yushu raised an eyebrow. "The truth."
Jiang Che glanced at Shen Zhen, chuckled twice, and asked, "Tell me the craziest thing you've ever done for your lover, the thing that's least like you."
Gu Yushu's expression was inscrutable. After thinking for a moment, he said in a hoarse voice, "After the breakup, I bought the house she used to live in, secretly hoping that one day she would come back."
Jiang Yu teased, "Mr. Gu, you're so affectionate, I'd like to marry you!"
Shen Zhen, who had been keeping her head down, felt her fingertips twitch slightly as she listened to Yu Shu's words, and tears almost welled up in her eyes. Yu Shu was giving her a sense of security in her own way…
Zhong Li loosely wrapped his arm around Jiang Yu's back, letting her act as she pleased, taking in her radiant little expressions, and occasionally pinching the back of her neck as a warning.
Zhong Li glanced at Gu Yushu and said lazily, "Isn't it you who gets drunk every night abroad, cries when you're drunk, and calls out Shen Zhen's name when you cry?"
Gu Yushu frowned slightly, glanced at Zhong Li with displeasure, and said indifferently, "Li, I think the Gu family business might not be suitable for you. You should go home and inherit the family business."
Zhong Li shrugged, tilted his head back, and downed the glass of wine in front of him. "Alright, alright, boss, calm down. I'll punish myself with a drink. But Zhenzhen, Yu Shu truly never forgot you during those years!"
Shen Zhen's eyelashes trembled slightly, a sharp pain piercing her heart like a needle, a mixture of emotion and sorrow. How could she have forgotten Gu Yushu? But could they truly be together without any burdens? Shen Zhen could disregard the opinions of others and her parents, but what about A-Shu? How many hardships would she face? Did she really want to be there for her?
Shen Zhen lost interest in continuing to play, tugged at Gu Yushu's arm, and whispered, "Ashu, I want to go home."
Gu Yushu knew that Shen Zhen's mood had been affected by Yang Yao and that she needed to go home and be comforted, so he took the opportunity to hold her hand, greeted everyone, and led Shen Zhen back home first.
...
Jiang Yu didn't leave the club until midnight. The wind cleared her head considerably. She hadn't actually been drinking that night, but for some reason, the atmosphere was intoxicating.
Zhong Li followed her the whole way, making Jiang Yu feel somewhat at a loss.
Upon reaching the car, Jiang Yu opened the door and looked at Zhong Li, stammering, "Um... do you need me to take you home?"
Zhong Li didn't say anything, opened the passenger door and got in, rubbing her temples. "Let's go to your place."
Jiang Yu tightened her grip on the steering wheel, her heart pounding wildly. She knew what going to her house meant, but... what was their relationship now?
Jiang Yu was stunned for a moment, then couldn't help but whisper to Zhong Li beside her, "Don't you have a home? Why do you want to go to my house?"
"Tsk!" Zhong Li sighed softly, opened her eyes, leaned closer to Jiang Yu, and pulled her down to his body, intentionally or unintentionally brushing against her sensitive spots until tears welled up in Jiang Yu's eyes before releasing her.
The cramped space made them entangled for a moment, and before they lost their senses, Zhong Li leaned down and whispered in Jiang Yu's ear, "You like it too, don't you? Little Yu'er, don't reject me, okay?"
Jiang Yu's entire body flushed pink. Zhong Li's technique was always excellent, and desire was almost overwhelming her, but she still couldn't help but ask tremblingly, "What...what are we?"
Zhong Li silently looked down at the person beneath her. Jiang Yu's lips were glistening with moisture, and her eyes held a longing and urgency that Zhong Li could understand. In the cramped space, their long hair was intertwined, yet they looked so harmonious.
But Zhong Li didn't want to answer. She wasn't just Zhong Li; she was also the only daughter of the Zhong family. She could temporarily hide away at the Gu family's headquarters and forget everything about the Zhong family, but she couldn't make promises to anyone. She knew that one day she would have to return to the Zhong family and shoulder her responsibilities. Whether through marriage or taking over the company, Jiang Yu was just a small surprise in her long life.
Seeing that she didn't answer for a long time, the light in Jiang Yu's eyes dimmed little by little. She bit Zhong Li's lip and said casually, "Come to my house then! Anyway, your skills are so good, you don't have to spend money to find someone else, hmph!"
Zhong Li gently nibbled at her earlobe and said fiercely, "You dare!"
