Chapter 188: Chapter 188: There are many people here…
Ye Shu was terribly embarrassed by that sudden kiss, her gaze frequently darting around the room.
Luckily, Bai Yueru was being led around by Bai Xue to socialize everywhere, completely too busy to pay attention to anything else.
Otherwise, it would have been truly mortifying to be so rude when meeting the elders for the first time.
Yet… those entertainment reporters’ gazes were inescapable, with the flash of their cameras sneakily flickering in their direction now and then.
Ye Shu awkwardly shrank into his embrace, her soft, delicate hands gently pushing him away.
As his kiss slightly loosened, she hurriedly mumbled unclearly, “There are so… so many people…”
Under the influence of alcohol, Sheng Shaochen, feeling even hotter from her murmuring voice, kissed her lips and huskily said, “Then let’s… go home… and continue.”
The pleasant smell of alcohol he breathed out made her slightly tipsy as well.
Her hands clutched at his shirt, her small red lips parting and meeting his sensuous lips, “But, Auntie asked me to wait for her…” Her voice trailed off as she became so embarrassed she could hardly breathe.
His deep, ragged breathing almost drove her beyond self-control.
Sheng Shaochen suddenly swept her off her feet.
Her balance off, she hurriedly wrapped her arms around his neck, saying anxiously, “If I disobey the first time, will it upset your mom?”
“Don’t worry…” Sheng Shaochen glanced towards the direction of the wedding reception.
Given Bai Xue’s character, she would definitely stick with Bai Yueru all night, socializing for the sake of the Gu Family’s reputation.
Having said that, he turned away and, carrying his delicate wife, left.
Behind them, Ye Shengli’s gaze remained on their departing figures, his face full of worry.
After Ye Xinyu was slapped, she hid in a corner and cried for a long time, went to the restroom to fix her makeup, and then returned.
When she saw her father Ye Shengli, she still felt a lump of resentment and tried to bypass him to go inside.
However, Ye Shengli caught her by the arm, “Xinyu, come with your father.”
Ye Shengli led Ye Xinyu to a secluded corner before he reached out and gently rubbed her face, sighing, “Listen to me, from now on, stop provoking Ye Shu…”
“Dad, why? She is just a mistress kept by Young Master Sheng, why should we be afraid of her? Besides, I am now the Young Lady of the Gu Family…”
“Xinyu, don’t interrupt, listen to your father!” Ye Shengli frowned, his tone growing heavier.
“…” Ye Xinyu pouted, unwillingly lowered her head, and fidgeted with her clothes.
“Do as your father says, play your role well in ‘Nine Lives Demon Phoenix’! No matter what, cling to the Gu Family, and do not let them kick you out! Moreover, whatever happens to Dad in the future, don’t panic or interfere, understand?”
“Dad, what’s wrong? Why do I feel so uneasy? Is something wrong?” Ye Xinyu was still upset but got scared hearing her father speaking so gravely and looked up at him nervously.
“Just remember what your father tells you, don’t act recklessly; I will handle everything!” Knowing his daughter was impulsive, Ye Shengli didn’t want to explain too much to Ye Xinyu.
“No buts, just obey!” Ye Shengli was clearly angry now.
“…” Ye Xinyu stood there stunned, her tears swirling in her eyes, and after a long while, she nodded heavily, “Okay, I’ll obey.”
“Alright, go inside, don’t upset Zuo Cheng.” Ye Shengli tenderly smoothed Ye Xinyu’s hair and sent her into the wedding, then pretended to be drunk and left early using it as an excuse.
Some things… he must deal with promptly, or else, the night might breed more troubles…
