Chapter 29 She is her light
Upon hearing this, Yu Shu stared at Shen Zhen with his dark eyes devoid of any emotion, his expression indifferent, almost too calm, and said indifferently, "What do you want to talk to me about?"
Shen Zhen's heart sank lower and lower. She dared not think too much about the coldness in Yu Shu's eyes, fearing that she would not be able to bear the consequences.
Shen Zhen's hands trembled slightly, the answer in her heart almost bursting out. Afraid of being truly rejected, she tried to sound casual under Yu Shu's oppressive gaze and said, "Um... it's really nothing serious, I just wanted to thank you for finding me a good lawyer. If you don't have time right now, I can wait for you."
After saying that, Shen Zhen wanted to bite her tongue off. What was she saying? She clearly wanted to ask A-Shu if he had feelings for her, how did it turn into thanking her?! Shen Zhen, you're so incredibly stupid! Don't be scared off by her eyes, go for it! Shen Zhen, that's your happiness for life, be brave! You're so idiotic!
Yu Shu raised an eyebrow, pinched Shen Zhen's chin, and forced her to raise her head. Her eyes held emotions that Shen Zhen could not understand. She asked in a cold voice, "Shen Zhen, we haven't seen each other for more than a month. Did you come here to find me just for this?" The disappointment in her tone was chilling.
People around were already looking this way, and some even began to speculate about who Shen Zhen was and why she was arguing with the head of the Gu family.
"What's going on?"
"I heard that President Gu came out as gay and immediately started having women swarming around him?"
"That woman is so brave!"
"Tsk tsk tsk, they acted really fast. I wonder if that little firecracker Yang will cause a scene when she arrives. After all, she announced her intention to marry into the Gu family a long time ago."
"Who is this woman? It looks to me like President Gu is forcing her?"
Who knows! Anyway, there's going to be a good show!
Unable to bear everyone's probing gazes, Shen Zhen looked at Yu Shu with pitiful eyes, her voice softening and pleading, "Yu Shu, I..."
Chu Chu walked quickly over at this moment. When Yu Shu saw her, her aura turned cold. In her heart, she didn't want Chu Chu to see Chen Zhen acting coquettishly.
Before Shen Zhen could speak again, Yu Shu reached out and pulled her to his side, naturally wrapping his arms around her slender waist. He leaned down and whispered intimately in her ear, "Zhenzhen, being my date tonight is also a way of thanking me."
Yu Shu's soft lips brushed against Shen Zhen's earlobe, leaving a slightly moist sensation, sending a jolt through her body. If it weren't for Yu Shu's hands around her waist, Shen Zhen felt she might have simply gone limp.
"Huh?" Shen Zhen exclaimed blankly, not understanding what Yu Shu meant. Why did her attitude change so drastically? Be her date? What did that mean? How was she supposed to introduce herself to everyone? Shen Zhen, stop overthinking and trying to flatter yourself, Yu Shu didn't mean that.
Yu Shu didn't answer, but half-embraced Chen Zhen and went inside. He left Chu Chu with only the image of the two of them cuddling, a clear declaration of his ownership.
Chu Chu stood at a distance, head bowed in disappointment, a bitter smile playing on her lips. She disliked this feeling. How could she possibly win her over? All her previous techniques were useless in front of Shen Zhen—what a failure! And what about Sister Shu? She clearly cared so much too; did she have no chance at all?
...
As Jiang Yu emerged from the elevator, clutching her elaborate dress, she struggled forward, inwardly cursing these girls for being love-struck! No, wait! They all have crushes but no best friends! She'd better teach Shen Xiaozhen a lesson later, stop chasing after Gu Yushu every time she sees him! So pathetic!
Suddenly, a pair of well-defined hands reached out from behind, and a lazy voice rang out, "Miss Jiang, if you don't mind, I can help you."
Jiang Yu turned her head angrily, looking at the person opposite her who was staring at her with a half-smile, her usual lazy and aloof demeanor, as if she didn't care about anything. Just thinking about what she had said at the bar that day, Jiang Yu wanted nothing more than to tear that flirtatious face of hers apart!
Jiang Yu pulled the hem of her skirt back from Zhong Li's hand, snorted coldly, "No need!" She raised her head and walked forward, but before she had gone far, her foot was tripped by the hem of her skirt, and she almost fell.
Zhong Li wrapped his arm around her waist from behind, his hand tightening subtly, and said in a forceful tone, "Don't wander off, come with me."
Enveloped in Zhong Li's unique fragrance, Jiang Yu's neck flushed pink. Her dress featured a cutout design at the waist, and Zhong Li's warm hand pressed tightly against her skin, the burning sensation traveling to her very core, a tingling, numbing feeling that made her want to succumb.
Jiang Yu awkwardly fanned herself and forced a dry laugh, "What's going on? Why is it so hot in here?"
A knowing smile appeared on Zhong Li's lips as she gently stroked the soft flesh of Jiang Yu's waist without uttering a word.
A tingling sensation shot straight to her brain. Jiang Yu glared at her fiercely and stammered, "You...you better behave!"
Zhong Li raised her eyebrows, neither agreeing nor disagreeing, but unconsciously tightened her grip on her waist.
...
In the world of fame and fortune, even if some people can't accept homosexuality, no one dares to say anything openly because of Gu Yushu's status. After all, nobody wants to turn down money, and everyone wants a partnership with the Gu family.
Yu Shu led Shen Zhen to a corner, pressed her down into a chair, and looked down at her, saying, "Sit here obediently. I'll come find you when I'm done."
Shen Zhen nodded obediently, tilting her head back and resting her chin on her hand as she looked back at Yu Shu. Her bright eyes seemed to hold a sky full of stars, shining brightly.
In an instant, Yu Shu's heart pounded like a drum, her throat went dry, and she couldn't help but want to hide the dazzling girl in front of her so that no one could see her.
"President Gu, please come up to the stage to speak." Chu Pei walked to Yu Shu's side and gently reminded him.
Yu Shu gave Shen Zhen a deep look, couldn't help but lick her lips, and turned to walk over.
Shen Zhen stared at Yu Shu on the stage, lost in thought. Yu Shu was tall and elegant, with short, neat hair that looked exceptionally black under the lights. Her features were clear and aloof, and she looked at everyone with a faint sense of detachment. She was noble and arrogant, exuding a sense of oppression from someone who had long held a high position.
Now, Yu Shu is slowly becoming like the little mute girl in the rented room back then. Shen Zhen remembers when she first found Yu Shu, she refused to speak. Shen Zhen would always find ways to tease her. When she came home tired from work, she would hold Yu Shu and whisper seductive things in her ear, teasing her until she couldn't take it anymore and begged for mercy. Or she would corner her and slowly guide her hands over her body, exploring its mysteries.
Shen Zhen loved seeing her eyes redden with embarrassment, and how she dared not look at her. Sometimes, when she teased her too much, Shen Zhen would nuzzle her neck and coax her softly, "A-Shu, don't be angry, okay?"
At that time, Yu Shu did not resist Shen Zhen's touch. She could easily coax him. Although she would call Shen Zhen a hooligan every time, in the end, it was always Shen Zhen who was panting and blushing under her.
The past scenes overlapped with the present; could they still be as close as before? Shen Zhen had no answer, but gazing at the dazzling Yu Shu on the stage, she knew she couldn't bear to leave her. Her Yu Shu was the light in her life; pursuing the light, drawing closer to the light, and possessing the light was her lifelong yearning.
