Chapter 296: Do you still feel it’s fake?
Another girl wearing round-frame glasses said excitedly:
"You didn't see the drone show just now? Mr. Chu directly projected Mr. Tang's photo into the sky and announced it to the whole world, okay? I also want to have a love like that."
"There was a drone show just now? You saw it and why didn't you tell us???"
Several girls immediately gathered around and complained in unison.
The girl with glasses stuck out her tongue embarrassedly:
"I saw it by chance. I went to the balcony to answer a phone call, and when I looked up, I saw Mr. Tang's photo in the sky. By the time I finished the call, the show was almost over..."
"Well, what a pity! We missed such a romantic scene!" One of the girls stamped her feet in frustration.
Mu Nanyan's gaze passed over the noisy crowd and fell on the two people who were smiling at each other in the distance.
Under the moonlight, Tang Yutong's face was flushed with happiness, and her whole body seemed to be glowing.
At this moment, Tang Yutong suddenly turned her head and looked in her direction as if she sensed something.
The moment their eyes met, Tang Yutong's eyes lit up. She leaned over to Chu Ci and whispered something in his ear, then she lifted her skirt and trotted over.
She held Mu Nanyan's hand affectionately: "Yanyan, why did you leave suddenly just now?"
Mu Nanyan blinked mischievously: "Why, do you think my light bulb is not bright enough? I can't handle the dog food of some people~"
Tang Yutong's face flushed red all the way to her ears, and she punched her friend's shoulder in embarrassment: "You...what nonsense are you talking about!"
That shy and anxious look made everyone around him laugh out loud.
As the night deepened, the rooftop became increasingly lively.
People sat in groups of three or four under the starlight. The sizzling barbecue on the charcoal grill emitted an enticing aroma, and fine water droplets condensed on the bottles of ice-cold beer.
The evening breeze carries the tenderness of early autumn, gently brushing everyone's hair.
I don't know who started the tune, but the familiar melody floated in the night sky, and everyone started humming along at the same time.
The singing is sometimes passionate and sometimes gentle, accompanied by the lights of the distant city, interweaving into the most moving music under the starry night sky.
Some people held up wine bottles as microphones, closed their eyes and immersed themselves in the melody; some people swayed gently to the rhythm, forgetting to eat the skewers in their hands; and some people simply lay down on the folding chairs, looking at the starry sky, with a comfortable smile on their lips.
Mu Nanyan gently shook the juice cup in her hand, feeling the long-lost relaxation and comfort.
When she lowered her head, she found Chenchen curled up in her arms and sleeping soundly, his little face flushed and his long eyelashes casting a shadow on his face.
She gently gathered Chenchen's coat, fearing that the night wind would disturb his sweet dreams.
Not far away, Tang Yutong was holding up a wine glass, her cheeks flushed as she shouted:
"I'm not drunk! Another drink!"
She stood up shakily and almost tripped over her own skirt. Fortunately, Chu Ci was quick to catch her.
"Yutong, you drank too much."
Chu Ci advised helplessly, reaching out to take the wine glass from her hand.
"don't want!"
Tang Yutong held the wine glass in her arms like a kitten guarding its food. She tilted her rosy little face upwards, her drunken eyes dim but stubborn as she looked at Chu Ci:
"Today is my birthday, I am the boss! You, you are not allowed to control me..."
Chu Ci looked at her like this, feeling both distressed and amused.
He sighed, turned around and winked at those who still wanted to toast him, and they immediately stepped back tactfully.
The birthday party didn't end until 11 o'clock in the evening.
Chu Ci arranged for people to take the drunken guests to the rooms that had been booked in advance. Those who were still sober were helped off the rooftop by the waiters, who watched them get into the car safely before turning and leaving.
In a blink of an eye, only Mu Nanyan and the other three were left on the huge rooftop. Mu Nanyan held the sleeping Chenchen in her arms, and Tang Yutong leaned on Chu Ci's shoulder, drunken and unconscious, with even her breath carrying a slightly sweet fragrance.
Chu Ci looked down at Tang Yutong, who was leaning on his shoulder with blushing cheeks, and shook his head helplessly with a chuckle.
He lowered his voice and said to Mu Nanyan, "Why don't we get a room here? The child is sleeping soundly, and I'm afraid he'll catch a cold on the way back."
Mu Nanyan gently gathered Chenchen's coat and smiled gently, declining:
"Don't bother, it's very convenient to call a taxi. I heard from Yutong that you helped arrange the current hotel, and it's already cost enough."
Chu Ci wanted to persuade her again, but he saw Mu Nanyan had already stood up gently and adjusted the posture of holding the child skillfully. He had no choice but to compromise:
"Then I'll take you down and call a taxi."
Chu Ci said as he carefully straightened Tang Yutong and let her lean back on the chair.
"Don't worry about us, just take good care of Yutong."
She glanced mischievously at Tang Yutong who was sleeping soundly.
"It looks like she won't be able to leave tonight."
Chu Ci laughed when he heard that. He took off his suit jacket and gently covered Tang Yutong with it, moving gently for fear of waking her up.
He looked at Mu Nanyan's back as she left with Chenchen in her arms, then turned back to look at the sleeping Tang Yutong, and a doting smile unconsciously appeared at the corner of his mouth.
Chu Ci carried Tang Yutong into the presidential suite, and the crystal chandelier automatically lit up a soft light in the darkness.
Just as he was about to put the person in his arms on the sofa, Tang Yutong opened her eyes in a daze.
"Um......"
She whimpered like a kitten, and through her drunken eyes she saw Chu Ci's handsome face so close to her, and suddenly a sweet smile broke out on her face.
She stretched out her slender fingers and gently held Chu Ci's face:
"Am I dreaming... Why did I see my boyfriend the moment I opened my eyes?"
Chu Ci was amused by her sudden action, and said in a low voice with a hint of coaxing:
"Do you want to touch it and see if it's real?"
Tang Yutong stroked his face seriously, her fingertips running across his high nose bridge and outlining his sexy lips.
She childishly kneaded his cheeks, deforming his handsome face.
"Hmm..."
She tilted her head and looked around, then suddenly giggled.
"You must be faking it! Chu Ci won't let me rub his face like that!"
Chu Ci was amused by her naive logic. He had never expected Tang Yutong to be like this when she was drunk. She was completely different from her usual self. Now she looked like a little white rabbit, making people want to bully her mercilessly...
He took advantage of the situation and held her naughty little hand, trapping her whole body between himself and the sofa.
The moonlight poured in through the floor-to-ceiling windows, casting a silver glow on the two of them.
He leaned over and whispered in her ear, his warm breath spraying on her sensitive earlobe.
"So what? Do you think it's real now?"
Tang Yutong shuddered all over; the alcohol made her senses extra sensitive.
She opened her big watery eyes and looked at the handsome face so close to her helplessly:
"Don't get so close..."
Chu Ci chuckled softly, and gently lifted her chin with his slender fingers. His thumb caressed her soft lips subtly.
"Didn't you suspect I was fake? Do you want to... verify it yourself?"
Tang Yutong's heart was beating so fast that it almost jumped out of her chest. The alcohol and the ambiguous atmosphere made her mind go blank.
She licked her dry lips unconsciously, and this action made Chu Ci's eyes darken instantly.
"I......"
Just as she was about to speak, Chu Ci lowered his head and sealed her lips.
The kiss was gentle and restrained, yet it carried an irresistible force. Tang Yutong felt dizzy and her whole body softened in his arms.
After the kiss, Chu Ci leaned against her forehead and said in a hoarse voice:
"Now, do you still think it's fake?"
Tang Yutong blushed and shook her head, burrowing into his arms like a frightened little rabbit.
Chu Ci hugged her tightly and kissed her lightly on the top of her head.
Just then, the doorbell rang suddenly, breaking the silence in the room.
“Ding Dong—Ding Dong—”
Chu Ci looked down at the drunken Tang Yutong in his arms, and gently brushed her blushing cheek with his slender fingers:
"Be good and wait for me here, okay?"
“Well… okay…”
Tang Yutong responded vaguely and reluctantly stepped out of his warm embrace.
Chu Ci carefully put his suit jacket on her, his fingertips accidentally brushing across her bare shoulders, causing her to tremble slightly.
The person standing outside the door was the "good brother" who supported Chu Ci at the birthday party today.
Seeing Chu Ci open the door, he immediately handed over a delicate little paper bag respectfully:
"Mr. Chu, here's what you want."
Chu Ci took the paper bag, stroked the square box inside with his fingertips, and a meaningful smile appeared at the corner of his lips.
"Um... Mr. Chu... tonight's performance fee..."
The man rubbed his hands nervously and looked at Chu Ci with a nervous expression.
"Ask the front desk manager for reimbursement."
Chu Ci interrupted him nonchalantly, his eyes already drifting towards the room.
The man bowed repeatedly as if he had been pardoned and retreated. Under the light of the corridor, cold sweat was faintly visible on his forehead.
Chu Ci warned them many times today. He thought he would not get the money if he messed up this time, but he didn't expect that he would get it smoothly in the end. Now he can explain to his brothers.
After closing the door, Chu Ci played with the small box in his hand, a hint of amusement flashing in his eyes.
In tonight's carefully planned birthday party, all his "good brothers" are actors he hired with his money.
After all, for someone like him who changes girlfriends several times a month, how could he possibly go to such lengths to introduce them to his real brothers every time? Besides, not every woman was worthy of appearing in front of his brothers.
Tang Yutong is Chu Ci's longest-lasting girlfriend so far. At least he lasted a week, but even so, Chu Ci had no plans to take Tang Yutong to meet Lu Yiran and the others, not to mention that they couldn't meet.
Tang Yutong is still somewhat special in Chu Ci's heart. After all, she is the first woman who made him take the trouble to arrange such a drama.
In the past, if a girlfriend asked to meet his brother, she would only receive a breakup check.
As for why Chu Ci still hadn't gotten tired of it after half a month, he attributed it to the novelty of not having gotten what he wanted yet.
In the past, those women would often throw themselves into his arms on the first day, but Tang Yutong's repeated rejections aroused his unprecedented desire to conquer.
This expensive birthday surprise tonight was nothing but a gentle trap he had carefully laid.
Chu Ci looked at the drunk Tang Yutong lying on the sofa and slowly unbuttoned his cuffs.
What he wanted was her willing submission.
Chu Ci took out the contents of the paper bag and stuffed it into his trouser pocket. He then threw the packaging bag on the shoe cabinet in the entrance hall.
He loosened his tie and walked towards the sofa, his leather shoes making a slight sound on the floor.
Tang Yutong was curled up in a corner of the sofa, her eyelashes trembling.
Hearing footsteps, she opened her eyes slightly, her drunken eyes glistening in the light:
"Who is it..."
"Room service."
Chu Ci chuckled and sat down beside her, his arm naturally wrapped around her shoulders, letting her lean on him.
He sprayed her favorite woody perfume today, and the faint scent lingered at the tip of her nose.
"Are you feeling uncomfortable? Do you want some water?"
He lowered his voice and used his fingertips to brush away the sweat-soaked hair from her forehead.
"Um......"
Tang Yutong unconsciously tugged at her collar, revealing a patch of red skin.
Chu Ci's eyes darkened, and his slender fingers tucked her messy hair behind her ears, his fingertips seemingly brushing against her sensitive earlobe unintentionally.
He supported her with one hand and poured a glass of warm water with the other. The glass reflected the warm yellow light. He gently placed the rim of the glass against her lips and whispered, "Don't be sad."
"Drink slowly."
Tang Yutong took small sips from his hand, and the water droplets wet the corners of her lips.
Chu Ci stared at the drop of water sliding down her chin, and her Adam's apple rolled unconsciously.
"More?"
His voice was already a little hoarse. Seeing her shaking her head, Chu Ci leaned over and put the cup back on the coffee table.
Tang Yutong was touched when he saw this scene. A young master like him would rarely do servant work, but for her...
"What are you thinking about?"
Chu Ci caught her gaze when he turned around, and a playful smile appeared at the corner of his lips.
The alcohol made Tang Yutong much bolder than usual. She suddenly grabbed his wrist and slowly moved her fingertips up along the lines of his tense forearm:
"Chu Ci...you look so handsome today..."
Her voice was soft and slightly drunk, and sounded particularly charming.
Chu Ci chuckled softly, then suddenly leaned over and trapped her between himself and the sofa. Their noses touched, their breaths blending together.
"You mean, I wasn't handsome before?"
Tang Yutong didn't answer, but tilted her head back and kissed him.
This kiss carried the mellow aroma of red wine and her unique sweetness, raw but passionate.
Chu Ci's pupils shrank slightly, and then he grabbed the back of her head and took the initiative, deepening the kiss.
His other hand touched her waist, and his fingertips could feel her suddenly accelerated heartbeat through the fabric.
Chu Ci's kiss gradually slid from her lips to her neck, and his hot breath sprayed on Tang Yutong's sensitive skin, causing a slight shudder.
She unconsciously tilted her head back and inserted her fingers into his thick hair.
Tang Yutong suddenly pressed against his chest, struggling in her blurry eyes:
"Wait... wait a minute... we are going... too fast..."
