Chapter 356 : Green Plum Meets Wine 7 (1/2)

Gu Yan looked in their direction. The young man and young lady held their drinks close together as they smiled.

But he felt like there was something off with their smiles. It was as if they were competing to see who could smile the brightest.

Yu Xingyun on the other hand, wasn’t quite as perceptive. “These two are still so close, eh?”

Gu Yan, “…” ‘The only thing I see is that weird atmosphere… How are they close?’

“Back then, had it not been for…then perhaps Xiaoxia would’ve been this little rascal’s fiancée by now. Sigh… I won’t be leaving the country anymore. I’ll stay here and help you take care of Xiaoxia. It’s been hard on you these past few years.” Yu Xingyun patted Gu Yan’s shoulder.

Gu Yan looked away from Shi Sheng and Yu Jiu. “I received much kindness from Sheng-dage back then, so I have to at least help him take care of his daughter.”

“You don’t forget your debts! You’re a true man! Oh right, I heard there’s been some problems with your company lately. If there’s anything I can help with, just say it.”

“The most critical junction has already passed…”

The two had been reminiscing about old times, and then they’d gone on to chat about what they were doing now, before finally talking about company matters.

“Dad, Uncle Gu, I’ll bring Xiaoxia out for a walk.” Yu Jiu suddenly stood up.

“Have you guys eaten your fill?” Gu Yan looked at Shi Sheng.

“Yes.” Shi Sheng nodded.

“Run along then, you two.” Gu Yan nodded back.

“Xiaoxia, there’s an auction going on downstairs. How about you guys go take a look around, and see if there’s anything you like?” Yu Xingyun handed Shi Sheng an invitation card. “If you do, just get the little rascal to buy it for you.”

“Thank you, Uncle Yu.” Shi Sheng received the invitation from him.

Yu Xingyun’s expression turned stern once he faced Yu Jiu. “Little rascal, you’d best take good care of your Xiaoxia-meimei. Just see how I’ll deal with you if she’s missing even a single strand of hair!”

Yu Jiu’s expression was odd, as if he was trying to hold something in.

“Got it.” Yu Jiu nodded before dragging Shi Sheng outside.

Once they were out of the room, Shi Sheng flung his hand off.

“Sheng Xia, your temper sure has grown in the eight years we haven’t seen each other!” Yu Jiu nearly squeezed out this sentence through gritted teeth.

Shi Sheng crossed her arms. “Yu Jiu-gege, are you sure you don’t need to go use the gents?”

Having been thus reminded by Shi Sheng, Yu Jiu felt his anus clench, so he dragged Shi Sheng in the direction of the washrooms.

Once they were outside the gents, Yu Jiu released Shi Sheng and didn’t forget to warn her, “Wait here for me. If you dare to leave… Hmph! See how I’ll deal with you!”

Shi Sheng gave him a bright smile. ‘Of course I can’t leave. I still want to pummel you.’

Yu Jiu entered the gents and Shi Sheng leaned against the wall, her fingers drawing circles in the air. ‘There is spirit energy in this world, but with this body’s physique, it won’t be possible to tell if Yu Jiu is Feng Ci for quite a while.’

Yu Jiu remained in the toilet for a long while before emerging. Seeing Shi Sheng still there, his expression relaxed. ‘At least she’s obedient.’

But the next second, the pain that reappeared in his stomach forced him back into the washroom.

Seeing Yu Jiu repeat this over and over, Shi Sheng wished to express that she was very happy with the result. ‘Who told you to troll me(lz)?’

Only after getting the hotel staff to buy him some medicine could he end his ‘loving’ relationship with the toilet.

“Yu Jiu-gege, how does it feel?” Shi Sheng somehow managed to imbue a lot of meaning into that ‘Yu Jiu-gege’ of hers.

Yu Jiu weakly leaned against the wall and smiled at her. “Xiaoxia-meimei, you’ve won.”

He admitted defeat this time.

The girl who only knew how to cry back then had actually learned to fight back.

Shi Sheng mirrored his smile, her voice faint. “If it happens again, I’ll let you experience real euphoria.”

Yu Jiu didn’t speak, merely staring at her.

The girl that used to cry when he so much as glared at her had already grown so much.

His brow lifted slightly as a dimple appeared, his gaze sweeping across Shi Sheng’s chest meaningfully. “And how would you do that? Hm?”
