Chapter 8
Shi Wan was so tired from sitting upright that she caught a glimpse of Gu Zhinian shaking his wine glass. She reached out and secretly rubbed her waist. Listening to the soothing piano music, Shi Wan felt sleepy and wondered in her heart when it would end.
Gu Zhinian's attention was always on Shi Wan, and he could see all of Shi Wan's little movements. "Let's go, let's go watch the fireworks."
"Ah?" Shi Wan subconsciously squeezed her hand, which was held by Gu Zhinian. "Where else are we going?"
"It's outside." Gu Zhinian pulled Shi Wan and picked up the gift he had given Shi Wan that she had left on the table.
After Shi Wan was led by Gu Zhinian to the terrace, fireworks exploded in the air. It was very beautiful, so beautiful that Shi Wan was indescribable. Shi Wan was stunned and let go of Gu Zhinian's hand. Shi Wan rarely had the opportunity to see fireworks. One reason was that it was not allowed in the city, and the other was that the days when fireworks were set off were major holidays. At this time, Shi Wan was busy with her part-time job, from morning to night, so how could she have the time to watch fireworks?
"Thank you, Mr. Gu." It took Shi Wan a long time to remember Gu Zhinian beside him. He said thank you carefully, as he had just left him there.
"As long as you like it."
"Congratulations, you are a college student now." Gu Zhinian took out the bracelet from the box. It was a braided red rope made of button-sized jade peace buckles. Each of the jade peace buckles was transparent sky blue and of the same size and shape. It was not easy to put together such a bracelet, and the red rope was a little crooked.
This was the best braid Gu Zhinian had ever made. Gu Zhinian couldn't understand why the rope that was obedient in other people's hands would twist in his hands no matter how he manipulated it.
"Everything will be safe and sound from now on." Gu Zhinian put the bracelet on Shi Wan's wrist. There were gorgeous fireworks in the distance in the sky, and there was an indescribable ambiguity between the two of them.
The red color really suits Shi Wan's skin tone. Shi Wan is very fair, but her fair skin is a little unhealthy, lacking some blood color. Her wrist is also very thin. Gu Zhinian doesn't dare to hold it tightly for fear of breaking Shi Wan's wrist or hurting Shi Wan.
"This is too expensive." Shi Wan looked at the bracelet on his hand with a dry voice. The atmosphere created by Gu Zhinian disappeared completely in an instant.
Gu Zhinian felt his head was buzzing. This was different from what he thought. Shi Wan should not be so moved that she would cry at this moment. He then naturally hugged Shi Wan in his arms to comfort her.
This made Gu Zhinian not know what to do next.
“Not expensive.”
"As long as you like it." Gu Zhinian reached out and rubbed Shi Wan's hair. It would be even better if the person was as soft as the hair and would not ruin the atmosphere.
"Let's go. I'll take you home." The fireworks lasted for about fifteen minutes. It was actually very hot outside, and the steaming heat was uncomfortable. When Gu Zhinian took Shi Wan away, the manager had already handed the packed things to Shi Wan.
Gu Zhinian drank some wine, and when he went back, his bodyguard drove the car. When they arrived at Pei's house, the bodyguard parked the car and got out very tactfully, leaving the space in the car for Gu Zhinian and Shi Wan.
The narrow space itself makes people nervous, especially when it is dim. Physical contact may occur accidentally. The body temperature that does not belong to you is particularly hot in the darkness, and the scent of Gu Zhinian's perfume is also conquering the area.
When Gu Zhinian approached, Shi Wan stretched out her hand to block him, but——
"Hmm..." Shi Wan murmured softly, and felt his ears getting hot.
"That... I..." Shi Wan hurriedly withdrew his hand, his face red as if blood was dripping out, and he didn't know where to look. He, he touched a soft bulge and... rubbed it subconsciously.
"I...I want to go back..." Shi Wan almost bit her tongue because his hand—
It landed right between Gu Zhinian's legs. Shi Wan felt that it would be great if there was a gap for him to crawl into. He he he he... How about compensating Mr. Gu with this hand? Did Mr. Gu break it?
Gu Zhinian didn’t feel any pain, he was just enjoying it!
His breathing became heavy, and Gu Zhinian's lowered eyes were filled with burning desire, as if he wanted to tear Shi Wan apart and eat her.
The next second, Gu Zhinian pulled Shi Wan into his arms, pinched Shi Wan's chin and kissed her.
Shi Wan was stunned, his cat-like eyes widened, and he forgot to breathe. They... they were... they were kissing.
The red wine tastes bitter... Mr. Gu shouldn't have any infectious diseases. It's a bit strange, because Mr. Gu's perfume smells quite nice, and his lips are soft... Shi Wan was lost in the situation while daydreaming.
Fortunately, Gu Zhinian didn’t know what Shi Wan was thinking, otherwise he would have to take a quick-acting heart pill!
A kiss ends——
"Heh..." Gu Zhinian chuckled in Shi Wan's ear and gently stroked Shi Wan's back to help her calm down. "Well, this is compensation for what happened just now."
Shi Wan, with his body stiff and not daring to look up, his lips burning hot, said: "..." The word "compensation" kept echoing in his mind.
"Baby, remember to change the place of your hands next time, otherwise it will affect our future nightlife."
"I... I want to go back!" Shi Wan pushed Gu Zhinian away, opened the car door and got out. There were bodyguards not far away. Shi Wan rubbed his face in panic, lowered his head and strode towards Pei's house.
After walking a few steps, Gu Zhinian pulled Shi Wan back and handed her her bag and packed lunch box. "Take your time, there's no rush."
"Yeah, yeah." Shi Wan took the things and nodded hurriedly. He didn't dare to look at Gu Zhinian at all. He took the things and walked inside.
The Pei family was now very lively, with people toasting each other and chatting. Shi Wan changed direction and did not go through the main door, but through the small door on the side. Because everyone was in the main hall, no one would know when Shi Wan entered, so Shi Wan also avoided people.
After Gu Zhinian saw Shi Wan go in, he stood outside and lit a cigarette. After the cigarette burned out, the surging emotions in his heart were suppressed. There was a gentle smile on the corner of Gu Zhinian's mouth, but soon he frowned and strode towards the Pei family.
"Shi Wan, what are you doing here? Xiao Jin has such an important day, and you're going to make things difficult for him?"
"Can you have some shame? What have you done to Xiao Jin?" Sun Yao pushed Shi Wan angrily. Shi Wan had been hiding from them and didn't notice Sun Yao coming over. He was caught off guard and was pushed. Fortunately, he held onto the wall and didn't fall. However, the food he was packing fell to the ground and spilled out.
"Second brother...you..." Pei Shijin looked at Shi Wan with tears in his eyes, as if he had suffered a great injustice.
"Shi Wan, what do you want to do? You bully Xiao Jin again. How can you be so despicable? Jiang Heng doesn't like you. Do you know that?" Ruan Leyi's voice was very sharp. She didn't lower her voice at all, which attracted many people to look over.
Ruan Leyi did not feel ashamed, and even felt that her sacrifice of her own family for the sake of justice would make others look up to her. Ruan Leyi gained a sense of accomplishment by belittling, suppressing, and insulting Shi Wan, and drew a clear line between herself and Shi Wan. She did not feel at all that others were watching her performance like a clown.
When Pei Shijin heard Ruan Leyi scolding Shi Wan, he felt secretly happy, but he had to pretend to be heartbroken on his face.
"Your dog eyes saw me bullying Pei Shijin?"
"What? You're the one who just opens his mouth and says that this is the upbringing of people like you who claim to be well-educated?" Shi Wan rubbed his wrist that was hurt from hitting the wall with a cold look in his eyes. Ruan Leyi's words meant nothing to him.
"You--" Ruan Leyi strode forward and was about to slap Shi Wan, but Shi Wan dodged. Ruan Leyi was already wearing uncomfortable high heels, and she was so angry that she lost her balance and threw herself out. The tight evening dress was torn from the side with a 'rip' sound. Ruan Leyi naturally felt it and buried her head in the ground, not daring to get up.
It's such a shame for so many people.
"Shi Wan, what do you want to do? Get out of here. I don't have a son like you." Pei Hongyuan's face was so dark that water could drip out of it. He felt that Ruan Leyi was embarrassing and didn't even think of helping her. Pei Shichen just frowned and looked at Ruan Leyi, thinking that Ruan Leyi had embarrassed him. The other people in the Pei family didn't even think of going over to help Ruan Leyi, nor did they think of taking off their clothes to cover Ruan Leyi.
Shi Wan felt sad when he looked at the Pei family. No one cared about Ruan Leyi. Even Ruan Leyi's partner only had disgust in his eyes. This family really was a family of two. Shi Wan wanted to go upstairs to avoid these people but was stopped by Jiang Heng.
"Apologize to Xiaojin." Jiang Heng grabbed Shi Wan's arm with a cold face.
"Brother Jiang Heng, forget it. Second brother didn't mean it. I am the one who is sorry to second brother." Pei Shijin, who was dressed like a little prince, burst into tears as he spoke. In the crowd behind him, someone arranged by Pei Shijin was taking photos and recording videos. Pei Shijin glanced at that person and looked even more pitiful.
"No, I must make Shi Wan kneel down and apologize to you today, otherwise I'll see who in City A dares to help you." Jiang Heng said harshly as he scanned the people around him. Many playboys looked at Shi Wan with strange eyes, after all, Shi Wan was really good-looking.
Of course Shi Wan didn't want to and wanted to break free, but his wrist hurt so much and he was not as strong as Jiang Heng. Just when Jiang Heng was about to kick Shi Wan's knee proudly, Gu Zhinian kicked Jiang Heng out and took Shi Wan into his arms.
"Gu, Gu Zhinian..." Someone immediately recognized Gu Zhinian and exclaimed.
