He was very much infuriated by her outrageous speech . He had repressed his anger and held in his resentment for Gu Xingze earlier; as such, with nowhere to air his frustrations, he was already at his breaking point .
Ye Minglan"s censuring words severed the last thread of his patience and he vented all his grievances aloud at once . “D*mn it, Ye Minglan! What do you mean by that?! You kept fawning at him with your "Master Gu"– how capable can he be?! The Gu family? Ha ha! What of him being a Gu?! I heard that he"s a mongrel – a b*stard of Old Gu from his mistress! He acts like an emperor just because he"s a member of the Gu family! Is he even capable of crushing the Li family under his feet?!”
A contemptuous glint flashed past her eyes .
Not only could Gu Xingze crush them under his feet, if he were in the mood, he could destroy them anytime .
Li Chengze smirked at the ridicule apparent on her face . With alcohol at work, he bluntly stated, “Ye Minglan, I"m of lowly birth while you"re of a lofty status! Satisfied?”
Once he was done spouting that, he grabbed his outerwear and left without looking back at her!
“Enough . Let"s stop arguing . What an unfortunate birthday . Everyone, scatter!”
“Minglan is impossible to please . We"re neither the prince of the Mus nor the young master of the Gus . She"ll definitely not give us a thought!” Under the influence of alcohol, someone spoke this aloud with biting sarcasm .
Advertis.e.m.e.nt “What do you all mean by that?”
“Nothing! We"re not interested as well . Let"s leave!”
The audience started to get up in succession; they were unwilling to be in her company any longer . This also meant that the party had come to a disappointing end .
Standing rooted to the spot, she watched the crowd leave the venue as she convulsed with fury .
Outside the bar, when Gu Xingze carried Yun Shishi into the vehicle, she was already on the verge of sleeping . She nestled in the corner of the car, shut her eyes, and huddled to herself .
The air within the vehicle was a little chilly .
He made a mental note to inform the driver about turning down the air conditioner .
The scenery outside continued to change as the car drove by .
The hustle-bustle of the city indicated the commencement of a teenager"s nightlife .
He reached out to position her body to lean on his chest .
He slightly bent his head forward to observe her tilted lashes . She seemed to be in deep sleep .
He lifted his fingers and gently tucked a few stray hair strands behind her ear . Under the faint glow of the moonlight, she appeared as radiant as a ceramic fashioned out of jade .
Although he was already physically close to her, he was still surrounded by a heavy cloud of loneliness .
Sometimes, he would feel this foreign emotion of his beloved being so close to him yet so far away .
He moved to caress her face, but when he recalled how she had shied away from him back at the bar, he abruptly halted his action .
Helplessly chuckling to himself, he unwillingly retracted his hand .
The moonlight cast dark shadows on her features .
Her eyes, which were hidden beneath her fringe, slowly fluttered open .
She was obviously awake yet she pretended to be asleep .
Pom, pom, pom!
A series of knocks on the door sounded clearly through the silent night .
Yun Tianyou woke up with a start and sat up from the sofa . Quickly shuffling to the door in his slippers, he opened it to find Gu Xingze and his mommy huddling together . His expression shifted into worry .
“Mommy… What happened to mommy?”
Gu Xingze, who was shocked to meet the little boy again, froze in place .
The youngster before him had features as beautiful as Yun Shishi"s .
He is… her son, right?
Noticing the man"s look of wonder, Youyou"s eyes, with shades of distinct black and white, lightly flickered . He then exclaimed in amazement, “Whoa! Aren"t you that big celebrity, Gu Xingze? I"ve just seen you on TV!”
