Chapter 43: I Want to Kiss You

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

Yan Xi took off her dress and stepped into the bathtub. The warm water covered her body, but the moment she closed her eyes, she recalled the scene earlier where everything was covered in blood and gunshots were firing into skulls.

She was so scared that she quickly opened her eyes. She didn’t stay in the bathtub for long. After washing up, she changed into comfortable clothes.

The dress that she wore today was already torn and creased. She probably had to get rid of it.

After putting on her clothes, Yan Xi went to the dining room downstairs. After waiting for a while, Gu Shen came out of the elevator.

After swallowing a mouthful of food, Yan Xi found she had no appetite at all.

Gu Shen looked at her and gestured to Gu Er to come over. “Bring me the bubble wine in the wine cabinet and prepare some ice.”

Gu Er went to get the bubble wine immediately upon receiving the order. Gu Shen spoke again, “You don’t have to force yourself to eat if you don’t have an appetite. Drink some wine and you’ll feel much better.”

“Okay.” Yan Xi put down the utensils in her hand.

Gu Er returned very quickly. He opened the bubble wine and poured Yan X a glass, then placed a few ice cubes in it.

The ice and glass collided, emitting a crisp sound that reminded people of summer. The corners of Yan Xi’s lips curled up as she picked it up and drank it in one gulp. The ice that had yet to melt swirled in the glass and fell back into the glass with a clang.

Feeling satisfied, Yan Xi put down the glass and demanded, “Fill it up!”

The concentration of alcohol in the bubble wine was not high, and it even had a slight sweetness to it. Yan Xi did not take it to heart and soon finished a bottle. In the end, she leaned against the table and was dizzy, muttering something.

Gu Er listened carefully and his expression gradually became strange.

Gu Shen asked, “What is she muttering?”

“Madam is scolding.”

Gu Shen raised his eyebrows. “Scolding whom?”

After a moment, Gu Er said in fear, “You.”

As if to prove Gu Er’s words, Yan Xi stood up shakily and walked to Gu Shen. One of her hands was holding the wheelchair, while the other was touching his chin.

“Idiot! Does it hurt when I touch you like this?”

Gu Shen looked at her, his eyes dark and deep. “Put your hand down.”

Yan Xi felt aggrieved and stuttered as she spoke. “No, I’m very afraid today and want to pinch you. You pinched me like this too. I haven’t used any force yet. But your face is so handsome, I can’t bring myself to use any force.”

With that, Yan Xi’s body slid down a little. Her hand went from holding the wheelchair to holding Gu Shen’s thigh.

For some reason, his thigh could feel an itchy sensation when she touched it. Gu Shen then helped her up and looked at her.

“What on earth are you trying to do?”

“H-Hubby is so handsome.” Yan Xi pounced on his body. “I want to kiss you!” Then she nibbled on Gu Shen’s right cheek.

Even Uncle Hai, who was usually the calmest, could not help but rush over to pull her away. Gu Er also came up to help.

“No… No!” Yan Xi put her hands on her hips in a domineering manner. “I’m telling you, even if you throw me five million, I won’t leave my husband! 50 million, I can think about it!”

Gu Shen chuckled at her drunken behavior. He asked someone to send Yan Xi back upstairs to rest and reminded, “Take good care of Madam.”

Yan Xi went on with her drama. “Hubby, I don’t want to leave you. But… But they gave me 50 million… I can’t refuse that.”

“What nonsense is this!”

After Yan Xi left, the dining room finally quieted down. Gu Er commented. “If I knew Madam’s alcohol tolerance was so bad, I would have just brought two cans of Cola instead of bubble wines.”

“She’s probably too scared today.” Gu Shen spoke up for her. “She’ll wake up feeling better after making a fuss.”

Hearing that, Uncle Hai was shocked. He felt that he hadn’t met his master and madam for ages because they changed so much.

Yan Xi slept until evening before waking up. She stayed in bed for a while more before getting out. Because the concentration of bubble wine was not high, she did not feel a hangover at all, and she recalled the drama she put on while she was drunk.

Yan Xi’s smile froze and she fell back onto the bed.

She was too embarrassed to go downstairs. Not only did she embarrass herself in front of Gu Shen, but she also embarrassed herself in front of all the Gu family staff.

Yan Xi hammered the blanket in frustration, angry at herself for failing to forget the embarrassing things she had done.

Hearing the noises Yan Xi made, Xiaoyue, who waited outside, immediately knocked on the door and asked, “Madam, are you awake?”
