you say
Wang Xi saw the other party's hand stop, and then quickly break free from her hand. The other party's face, which was always calm in official occasions, seemed to have some cracks as if he could not hold on.
Alcohol soaked his mind, and Wang Xi's logical chain was calculated frantically, and a line of bright and clear words popped out as the result - he really treated her as a substitute.
The alcohol ignited his anger, and the people before him doubled. Wang Xi pointed a finger at one of them, forcibly saying, "Don't move. You need to make your point clear today."
Shao Zizhuo remained silent in the face of the man who pointed his finger into the void and argued confidently. He impatiently sent a message to Xiao Liu urging him to go upstairs quickly.
"Why aren't you talking? Did you hit the nail on the head?" Wang Xi asked, puzzled. As soon as she finished speaking, the three figures merged into one, calm, controlled, and powerful. Most importantly, their faces were expressionless. She nodded. That's right, this was the Shao Zizhuo she knew.
Shao Zizhuo didn't want to argue with the drunkard. After receiving a reply that Xiao Liu had entered the elevator, he politely said, "Madam, someone will come to take you and Niuniu away. Please wait here for a while."
His hand reached behind Guan Shanyue's neck, trying to embrace her.
Guan Shanyue stood up suddenly, almost bumping into Shao Zizhuo's nose. Shao Zizhuo touched his nose and lowered his head to meet a pair of misty and aggrieved eyes: "Speak up, Shao Zizhuo, don't hide in there and keep silent. I know you are at home!" The whisper reached his ears, "Why do you always avoid this kind of problem?"
As he spoke, Guan Shanyue curled his lips and was about to wail.
Shao Zizhuo covered her mouth, suffocating her cries. He sighed and patiently reasoned with the drunkard, "I've never avoided this issue. I've said before, you're no one's replacement. Our relationship doesn't need my relationships with other people as branches, and it's not a holly that can only bloom and bear fruit by parasitizing on other people's feelings."
"I admit, at the beginning, I just wanted to use you as a pawn to raise the banner of freedom of marriage in my family, but as we got along day after day..." Shao Zizhuo chuckled, "Those encounters have made my initial thoughts darker."
Shao Zizhuo's voice was very soft: "I have thought a lot about what happened between us, but in the end, I finally understood that your existence itself is meaningful. Thank you for coming to me and being willing to stay with me."
Thump, thump... The rhythm of his heartbeat was obvious, betraying him completely.
A light touch fell on the second joint of his index finger. Shao Zizhuo lowered his head, and water droplets left a long wet mark, like tears.
He looked up in surprise. Guan Shanyue's face was covered with tears. "Really?"
Shao Zizhuo nodded solemnly: "Yes."
After getting a positive answer, Guan Shanyue threw herself into his arms and arched her back twice, as if she had found a safe haven. Her eyes became blurred again, opening and closing, and then completely closed. Her body slid down, and the huge pulling force almost pulled Shao Zizhuo down with her.
Shao Zizhuo straightened his waist awkwardly and exerted force to help Guan Shanyue, who was exhausted and asleep again.
He looked helplessly at the person with his eyes closed. Okay, I already knew that I can't tell my true feelings to someone who is drunk.
"Boss Shao, you take Miss Guan and go first. I'll take the others home safely." Special Assistant Liu came over at an inopportune moment and immediately saw the person in Shao Zizhuo's arms. He quickly looked away, pretending not to notice anything. "Boss Shao's car is in the underground garage. You can see it directly when you take elevator number one."
Shao Zizhuo nodded to him, then squatted down and patted Guan Shanyue: "Wake up, come up and I'll carry you."
Guan Shanyue opened her eyes mumblingly, climbed onto Shao Zizhuo's back, and lay down with peace of mind.
Assistant Liu’s eyes almost popped out. Is this still their cool and aloof president?
The two of them walked away. He tried to hold back but still couldn't help but glance at their backs. They had already walked for a distance. Miss Guan was lying on Mr. Shao's back, swinging her legs back and forth. Mr. Shao couldn't stand it anymore and held Miss Guan's legs with his hands.
The corridor was so long that the end seemed invisible, and it was illuminated by incandescent light. The two people walked slowly, as if they would walk forever. Special Assistant Liu suddenly remembered the background of Shao Zizhuo walking alone many times in those years.
He let out a breath of foul air. Fortunately, Miss Guan appeared.
In the underground garage.
Shao Zizhuo stuffed Guan Shanyue into the passenger seat and drove the other side. Just as he fastened his seatbelt, the person next to him woke up, staring at him with bright eyes: "Shao Zizhuo, what do you think we should name our child if we have one?"
The sound of spring thunder was earth-shattering. Shao Zizhuo looked up suddenly, wondering if he had misheard. "What did you say? What child?"
Guan Shanyue was puzzled: "Don't you know, our future children!"
Because of the complicated relationships of his family's previous generation, Shao Zizhuo had always been indifferent to marriage and childbirth, but when she mentioned it... Children? He laughed foolishly. She really dared to think about it. She was thinking about children before they even got married.
Shao Zizhuo's hands on the steering wheel gradually clenched into fists, then loosened. He turned his head to look at the person next to him. She looked up. The light in the underground garage was not very bright, but one could clearly see the seriousness written on her face.
Shao Zizhuo then began to ponder a question he had never considered before: "I don't know if it's a boy or a girl. I'll have to see the gender first."
Guan Shanyue bit her hand and thought seriously: "I don't remember either. I think it was a girl?"
Shao Zizhuo's lips curled up. What could he remember about something so utterly hopeless? But the other person was an unreasonable drunkard, so he went along with her and said, "How about calling her Shao Keyan? 'Although I enjoy her rosy face, time is pressing on me.' I hope she grows up to be a beautiful baby."
Guan Shanyue was unhappy: "First of all, the child should take the surname of the one who gave birth to him. And you didn't do much to control her when she was a child, so she should take my surname! Secondly, we should wish our daughter a bright and successful career. What's the point of just having a pretty face? It's not good enough, give her a new surname."
It was as if there really was such a child, one who could run and jump, and would hug his neck and act coquettishly with him. How could he not take care of such a little daughter when she was young? Shao Zizhuo, under Guan Shanyue's description, drifted away and fell into a yearning for future family life.
Guan Shanyue was silent for a moment, then used her unclear brain cells to ask: "How about calling her Guan Kezhen?"
Shao Zizhuo asked, "What does it mean?"
Guan Shanyue, with a hint of alcohol in his mouth, recited the poem seriously, emphasizing each word: "A gentleman is cautious when alone and does not deceive others in secret. He is humble and self-disciplined, and he is virtuous and honest."
Shao Zizhuo nodded: "Okay, then this is the name for our daughter." He gently touched Guan Shanyue's head and asked her, "Career is very important to you, right? From now on, I'll take care of the interior affairs and you'll take care of the exterior affairs."
Guan Shanyue only cared about the first half of the sentence: "Of course, how can I not have my own career? Without my own career, I have no right to speak."
She angrily poked Shao Zizhuo's arm muscles, but they were stiff. She then pulled back awkwardly, "A bad person like you treats me well on the surface, but as soon as Yuan Wangshu comes back, you say you don't want me anymore, and not only me, but also the child. How can we live without money? We can only go out and do odd jobs to earn money to support her!" She pouted and was about to cry, "Why is my life so miserable?"
Shao Zizhuo gently wiped her tears with a tissue and said helplessly, "What on earth are you thinking about all day long? If it weren't for Yuan Wangshu's incident, there would be no way I would abandon you and the child."
Guan Shanyue's tears fell without a trace: "You don't know, you don't know at all, we..."
She wanted to talk about their predetermined ending, their irreversible separation, but the system's alarms immediately filled her head, so intense that it almost exploded. The electricity immediately spread throughout her body, shocking her so much that she couldn't even speak. The system voice circled and screamed, "Level 10 Alert, Host, please take note. Please do not reveal subsequent plot developments!"
Guan Shanyue was almost sober now, and he forced himself to communicate with the system: "I won't say anything more!"
The system was still in a stressful defensive state: "Host, please explain clearly and don't let Shao Zizhuo become suspicious! Otherwise, the system will continue to increase the warning."
Guan Shanyue could hardly bear it: "Okay, I'll explain right now and stop warning you for now."
The warning sound that had been lingering in his ears gradually faded, and the electric current also dissipated. Guan Shanyue collapsed weakly on the back of the passenger seat and wiped away his tears. "We are to fight for the cause of socialism together. Let's work hard."
She hadn't recovered from her emotions yet, and her heart ached. But she was afraid of another system warning, so she explained dully, "After all, you're no longer at Shaw Brothers, and your career is just starting. I've only just signed one contract, so I still have a long way to go."
Why was her mind so jumpy when she was drunk, and she suddenly talked about her children and career. Shao Zizhuo didn't know whether to laugh or cry: "Okay, let's work together to give the children a better life."
Guan Shanyue's eyes widened, and she quickly covered Shao Zizhuo's mouth, firing like a machine gun: "What child? There is no child. Don't say that. I was just imagining it. Who doesn't want to marry the person they love and have a family with the person they love?"
Shao Zizhuo raised his eyebrows, letting her cover her mouth, and took out an invitation from the side of the car and handed it to her.
Guan Shanyue's attention was drawn to the invitation letter, and he let go of his hand: "What is this?"
Shao Zizhuo's mouth was exposed again: "The invitation to the charity auction will be attended by many wealthy and idle celebrities. It is a great occasion. You can introduce your company to them."
A pie in the sky! Guan Shanyue took it and took a closer look. The date was two months later, and there were some rules and regulations. After seeing one of them, she hesitated: "But he requires everyone who goes there to take a photo of at least one item to raise funds, and we don't have any extra money right now..."
Shao Zizhuo laughed: "The thing I have the most is money."
Guan Shanyue decided: "Okay! Let's go." Let's see if we can make a big profit with a small investment and create a new world.
