Chapter 43: A Cruel Slap to the Face

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

When Anhao saw that the bottle of brandy that she had in her hand was thrown to the ground by Yi Zeyang, she did not know whether she was shocked because this was the first time that she had ever seen him in such an enraged manner or whether she was simply shivering because she had been drenched in rain so she was feeling extremely cold at this time.

Yi Zeyang grabbed hold of Anhao’s wrist as he pulled her closer to him. Anhao lost her footing and crashed directly into his arms.

Yi Zeyang let go of Anhao’s arm as he pushed her away from his chest. After that, he stared directly into her eyes in a firm manner.

“Why do you want to mistreat yourself like this? What can you achieve by making yourself drunk today? Do you really want me to be mad at you?” Gu Anhao felt that her shoulder was already hurting and she could not stop her body from trembling uncontrollably. She felt a little dizzy, perhaps because of the liquor that she had drunk earlier.

She had drunk some whiskey and brandy with high alcohol content. She did not think that she would be able to hold her liquor.

At least, the Yi Zeyang who was standing before her now still looked like a person and not just a shadow.

Gu Anhao could not stop herself from laughing as she turned her head away in an indifferent manner. She lifted her hands as she tried to push him away. “I am not angry. I am not mad at anything. All I want is to go back to school and get a good sleep. I just want everything to be over and done with. I have already endured so much abuse and humiliation for so many years. Do you really think that I would lose control of myself just because I was abused by two crazy women?”

Yi Zeyang pushed her hand away before he replied, “So, is that the reason why you want to drink tonight? Just to make me angry?”

Anhao continued smiling as she replied, “Do you really think you are so important to me? Why would I want to make you mad intentionally?”

Gu Anhao continued chuckling as she looked at the illusion in front of her. “I am just in a very bad mood today and I ran into you. If I did not take advantage of this opportunity to trick you into buying me drinks, then I am afraid that I will not have this kind of opportunity in the future. Who would have known that you would fall for my tricks so easily? I did not force you to drink with me…”

Yi Zeyang felt as if he would really go insane and suffer from a heart attack if he were to continue bickering with her.

Just as he was about to let go of her, Anhao, who was unable to stand straight on her own, quickly grabbed hold of his hand as she fell directly into his arms.

Yi Zeyang quickly raised his arms to support her. “Anhao, even if you are feeling unhappy, you should not try to bury your grievances by drinking. You will not be able to solve anything by drinking. I know that you are very upset and I know that you have suffered a lot. If you don’t want to continue living with the Gu family, I can…”

Before Yi Zeyang could even complete his sentence, he felt himself being dragged down by the neck. Gu Anhao had already wrapped her arms around his neck as she was clinging tightly onto him. At this time, Gu Anhao was leaning against him as she rested her head against his chest.

Yi Zeyang’s body stiffened as he wrapped his arms around her waist. “Anhao…”

“Shh…” Gu Anhao suddenly looked up at him with a smile on her face as she stared at the handsome face before her in a drunken state. “Yi Zeyang, don’t think that I don’t know what is going on in your mind right now!”

The person that he was holding in his arms was no longer the young girl who did not have a figure. Instead, she was now a young woman with a beautiful figure, and Yi Zeyang could feel Anhao’s warm body through their thin clothing.

Yi Zeyang wanted to subconsciously push her away but Anhao quickly grabbed tightly onto him, refusing to let go as she wrapped her arms around him.

Yi Zeyang frowned and he wanted to remind Anhao to take care of her image but Anhao smiled as she placed her finger on his lips. “What can you do for me if I do not want to stay with the Gu family anymore? Will you buy me a house and make the necessary arrangements so that I can live there? Will you find someone to take care of me and ensure that I complete my studies successfully so that I can make it into a university? Will you also make sure that I get a good job in the future?”

Gu Anhao giggled as she spoke and she moved her fingers around as she continued teasing him by flickering the buttons on the collar of his shirt.

Yi Zeyang could smell her alcoholic breath as she leaned against his neck. “We are not even related so why are you treating me so well? You are not my brother, or my father or my husband. So, what are you trying to gain by getting closer to me? Huh?”

Gu Anhao did not look like a nineteen-year-old girl right now. Yi Zeyang could not comprehend where Gu Anhao had learnt to behave like this as she tried to seduce him. His brows were knitted together as he frowned.

What was even worse was that Yi Zeyang actually wanted to hold her even more tightly in his arms after listening to what she had just said. She was all that he could think about…

He closed his eyes and cleared his head before holding her firmly by her shoulders. “Anhao, please be good and listen to me. Stop causing any more trouble today. If you really want to leave the Gu family, of course I will…”

“Will you support me then?”

Anhao interrupted him and leaned against his body without listening to anything that he was saying. When she saw the frown on Yi Zeyang’s face, Anhao grinned as she said, “Yi Zeyang, you have always known that I liked you. I liked you even when I was still a young girl five years ago! I liked you even when I was still calling you my elder brother! You have always known that I was in love with you. You even know that I secretly kissed you in the past.”

Anhao continued laughing as she leaned against his chest. “But you left me anyway! And now, you are already engaged and you are going to marry another woman soon! You knew that I was in love with you but you decided to get engaged with someone else. You chose to leave me behind so what are you doing now? Why do you care so much about me?”

Anhao could not stand on her own anymore and Yi Zeyang had to hold on to her to prevent her from falling down.

“I did not leave you behind! This is all a huge misunderstanding between us. This is also the reason why I came back to explain things to you but you have been avoiding me because you refuse to give me an opportunity to explain myself. Anhao, can we please talk about this after you sober up? I will find you a place to rest first because you are not listening to anything that I am saying right now. Please just listen to me this one time.”

Anhao laughed as she continued leaning against his chest, refusing to back away. After that, she lifted her hands and wrapped them tightly around his neck.

Yi Zeyang tried to push her away as he said, “Anhao, can you please behave yourself?”

However, Anhao tiptoed as she kissed him directly on the lips. As soon as their lips touched, Yi Zeyang quickly pushed her away as he yelled, “What are you doing? Are you insane?”

Anhao ignored the fire in his eyes and the rage that he was feeling at the moment. Anhao decided that she would just make him hate her, like everyone else already did since she had already made him angry.

“You are going to get married to someone else soon but yet here you are, still by my side even though it is already so late at night. You know that I am in love with you. So, why are you here with me when you already have a fiancée?”

“Are you planning to fool around with a few more women before getting married? Are you trying to enjoy yourself more before you get stuck in a marriage? Is that why you are trying to get in the pants of the young Anhao that you brought up ever since she was a young girl? Well, alright then. I will take the initiative today. Since you are not married yet, we can do whatever you want to tonight!” After that, Anhao pushed Yi Zeyang’s arms away as she continued kissing him in a forceful manner.

Yi Zeyang could not tolerate it any longer when she tried to open the buttons on his shirt. He pushed her away before he raised his hand and gave her a tight slap across her face.
