She's not some clueless little girl at all.
It was clearly a scheme set up step by step to bring him down, you little wolf cub!
Shen Zhiyi blinked innocently.
Take half a step back.
"What did you say, Uncle? I don't understand."
Shen Zhang was trembling with anger.
He watched as Shen Zhiyi walked out of the hall and stopped in front of a black car that had been waiting for a long time.
The car window rolled down, revealing Gu Lianzhou's well-defined profile.
She sat down.
The two figures were close together, their posture intimate.
Shen Zhang gritted his teeth, his eyes bloodshot, and then suddenly laughed, his face filled with resentment.
"Do you think you've won?"
His hired thugs will be dispatched soon after receiving news of his mishap.
As for Gu Lianzhou...
He deliberately didn't warn him, just waiting for him to fall into Shen Zhiyi's trap, have his throat bitten open, and be devoured by her!
He'll be in prison then, waiting to see them both suffer a devastating defeat!
*
Nighttime, a victory celebration banquet.
Shen Zhiyi raised her wine glass and gently clinked it against Gu Lianzhou's.
"Thank you, brother."
“If it weren’t for my brother, I wouldn’t have been able to secure the project so easily and gain the board’s trust. I certainly wouldn’t have… taken over my second uncle’s company and taken such a big step in terms of position and status.”
"This is all thanks to my brother."
She said she was about to drink.
The moment her red lips touched the wine glass, Gu Lianzhou stopped them.
That's no excuse for you to drink.
Shen Zhiyi pouted, "I'll just have a little bit."
She tugged at his sleeve and gently shook it.
Gu Lianzhou looked down at her.
"Don't act all cute," he said in a hoarse voice.
Shen Zhiyi looked at him with moist eyes.
Gu Lianzhou closed his eyes briefly and relented, saying, "Just one sip."
"Um!"
Shen Zhiyi couldn't wait to take a bite.
Gu Lianzhou reminded him, "This liquor is very strong, you..."
"Cough cough cough!" Before Shen Zhiyi could finish listening, she had already taken a big gulp and started coughing violently.
Gu Lianzhou patted her back, took the wine glass from her hand, and placed it on the waiter's tray, saying with a hint of helplessness, "I told you to go slowly."
"Are you feeling any better?" He lowered his head, his wisps of hair partially obscuring his eyes and brows, his expression concerned.
Shen Zhiyi saw him vaguely through the misty fog.
The light from the crystal chandelier cut out a dazzling and mesmerizing glow on his sharp profile, almost too dazzlingly so.
She gradually stopped coughing, and a faint blush rose to her cheeks.
Gu Lianzhou saw her gaze and felt as if he were being pulled by a thread, his lifeline held.
The blood gradually boiled.
The force with which he patted her back lessened.
His Adam's apple bobbed as he gripped her wrist.
"Come with me."
"Where are you taking me, brother?" Shen Zhiyi came back to her senses and followed him to the small balcony on the second floor of the banquet hall.
This is a corner hidden by tall trees.
You can see the banquet scene below and hear the bustling noise through the gaps, but you won't be easily discovered.
But as long as someone walks to the window and looks up, they can still vaguely see the view from this side.
Shen Zhiyi felt inexplicably nervous.
"Why did you bring me here, brother?"
She turned around and realized that Gu Lianzhou had somehow gotten behind her and was standing very close.
She instinctively leaned against the railing.
"Why are you hiding?" Gu Lianzhou's gaze slowly swept across her face, and when he saw the flush on her fair cheeks, his eyes darkened.
"If you really want to thank me, you should do something sincere."
"Instead of just giving me a drink and then dismissing me."
His voice was hoarse and hot, a deep, raspy sound echoing in my ears: "After all, I have a big appetite."
"It's not that easy to fill it up."
When Shen Zhiyi met his gaze, her heart skipped a beat for no reason.
She swallowed hard.
"Then... what does brother want?"
