Chapter 185: Chapter 185: The baby born must be very cute
“Xiao Shu, our Young Master Sheng has never had contact with girls before. You are the first girl he has liked so much. He is a bit slow when it comes to emotions. In the future, you’ll have to take good care of him and bear with him.”
Bai Yueru smiled as she scrutinized the delicate little woman in front of her.
Ye Shu possessed the dignity and elegance of a lady born into a prominent family, and upon closer inspection, she was even more charmingly radiant.
Her clear eyes were as transparent as water, her long eyelashes like butterfly wings, brimming with a fairy-like aura, her small and straight nose, cherry-like lips, and skin so white it gleamed, tender enough to break with a poke…
Even Bai Yueru, who had seen many distinguished ladies, couldn’t help but inwardly sing praises.
Such fine genes, matched with their Strong Master Sheng’s powerful lineage, would surely produce an adorable child.
Bai Yueru was even growing impatient at the thought of holding her cute little grandchild.
Ye Shu had thought that, like the Sheng Family, a top-tier family with profound heritage like the Gu Family would inevitably be bound by numerous rules.
She did not expect that Bai Yueru would be so gentle and amiable, and most importantly, she was very fond of her without putting on any airs.
Ye Shu’s heart warmed slightly; having never felt maternal love as a child, her fondness for Bai Yueru unconsciously grew.
She smiled and nodded, her cheeks flushing with a shy red, “Auntie, don’t say that. In fact, it’s usually Ah Chen who takes care of me more…”
“Really?” Bai Yueru was somewhat incredulous but, seeing Ye Shu’s blissful expression, she found herself believing it, and her gaze towards Ye Shu became even more affectionate.
Yet before officially joining the family, she knew how to protect her man’s face. Such a daughter-in-law deserved full marks!
Bai Xue had been busy socializing all this while, but when she turned around and saw her sister getting so close to Ye Shu, her face instantly darkened.
This damn Ye Shu, unable to marry Zuo Cheng, turned around wanting to marry Zuo Cheng’s close cousin to pressure their Gu Family. What a scheming woman!
Bai Xue held her wine glass aloft, her face adorned with what she thought to be an appropriate smile, and maneuvered her way to Bai Yueru’s side.
She freed one hand and hooked it around Bai Yueru’s arm. “Sister, why are you still sitting here? Chairman Qin and the others were looking for you just now. Let’s go have a drink with them.”
Bai Yueru frowned, wanting to refuse, but Bai Xue had already enthusiastically pulled her up. “Sister, it’s Zuo Cheng’s wedding today after all. Show some face, huh…”
As she spoke, Bai Xue gave Ye Shu a cold stare.
Ye Shu thought Bai Xue was quite ridiculous, but she didn’t want Bai Yueru to feel awkward and said sweetly, with a smile, “Auntie, please go ahead. I need to go to the restroom.”
“Well then, we’ll… continue talking at home,” Bai Yueru thought for a moment and said with a smile.
Ye Shu was startled—continue talking at home? Such a close sentiment was tantamount to conveying a ‘family’ message to her.
Ye Shu felt unexpectedly flattered and her face bloomed with a sweet smile as she obediently nodded.
Seeing this, Bai Xue’s gaze towards Ye Shu grew even more unfriendly as she clung tightly to Bai Yueru’s arm, urging, “Sister, come on. Chairman Qin and the others have been waiting a long time…”
Without waiting for a response, she dragged Bai Yueru away.
Before leaving, she gave Ye Shu a fierce glare as though warning her not to cause trouble.
Ye Shu paid no mind to Bai Xue and turned to look in Sheng Shaochen’s direction.
She saw that Sheng Shaochen, who had been seated at the high table on the right, was now also being surrounded by other male guests offering toasts.
Ye Shu quietly turned and walked towards the restroom.
Ye Xinyu had already descended from the high platform, arm in arm with Gu Zuocheng, warmly greeting the guests.
Catching sight of Ye Shu, Ye Xinyu’s eyes tightened sharply. She found an excuse and followed silently.
