"There, there, no more crying. Uncle Li will take you home."
Uncle Li helped Gu Yao towards the Bentley.
Gu Yao seemed to remember something, looked around, but saw that the person who had just saved her had left.
She glanced at the handkerchief in her hand, thought about throwing it away, but didn’t.
"When we get back, Uncle Li will have someone make you some hangover soup. Don’t drink so much next time."
Uncle Li helped Gu Yao to the front of the car and opened the door of the passenger seat in the rear.
The initially dizzy Gu Yao sobered up instantly when she saw the man sitting inside the car.
"Second, second brother..."
After a few seconds, Gu Yao, somewhat dazedly, called out with a voice full of fear.
Gu Sheng shifted his gaze from Ais’s departing silhouette, turned his head to look at Gu Yao, who stood outside the car, head bowed, not daring to meet his eyes.
"Lift up your head," he said sharply and curtly.
Frightened, Gu Yao lifted her head to look at Gu Sheng; the moment their eyes met, she immediately looked away.
When he saw the slap mark on Gu Yao’s face, Gu Sheng’s pupils shrank suddenly, and his face darkened even more.
"What happened to your face? Who did this!"
Gu Sheng stared at a trembling Gu Yao, the anger in his chest burning even fiercer, his eyes sparking with fire.
Feeling Gu Sheng’s fiery glare, Gu Yao fearfully gripped Uncle Li’s arm.
"Second young master, the young miss isn’t feeling well. Let’s head back first," Uncle Li interceded.
"The dignified Gu family daughter, dressed up garishly, not to mention mixing in bars, but also getting her face hit by a thug. You really bring honor to the Gu family."
This demeanor was completely different from his usual careless and indulgent manner.
People who didn’t know might think he had a split personality.
"...Second brother, I was wrong." Gu Yao said fearfully, head bowed.
"Second young master, the young miss has realized her mistake. It’s chilly tonight; let’s let the young miss get in the car and go back," Uncle Li felt sorry for Gu Yao.
He had intended to take Gu Yao back himself, but had unexpectedly run into Gu Sheng as soon as they left the house.
Uncle Li knew that with Gu Sheng present, Gu Yao would definitely be scolded, yet he couldn’t stop Gu Sheng...
"Uncle Li, get some water for her to wash her face."
Gu Sheng stared straight ahead, not even glancing at Gu Yao.
Uncle Li let go of Gu Yao and took out two bottles of mineral water and a pack of tissues from the car.
He unscrewed the caps and handed them to Gu Yao.
"Miss, wash your face."
Gu Yao took them, soaked the unused handkerchief with water, then wiped off her makeup and tear stains.
Removing those obstructive cosmetics, a clean and delicate face appeared.
"Whose handkerchief is this?"
As she was wiping her face, Gu Yao paused, following Gu Sheng’s ominous gaze towards the handkerchief in her hand.
"Someone else gave it..."
Clearly, the handkerchief was for men’s use, moreover, she never carried a handkerchief. The latest_epɪ_sodes are on_the novel_fіre.net
As soon as Gu Yao spoke, Gu Sheng’s face instantly turned as dark as the bottom of a pot.
His voice came out through gritted teeth.
Those dark eyes stared fixedly at the handkerchief in Gu Yao’s hand, almost wishing it would burn to ashes.
"This is..." Gu Yao thought about returning the handkerchief when she had the chance and formally thanking the person again.
"I told you to throw it away."
Gu Sheng’s voice grew even colder, his face filled with icy chill and fury, seeming like he would burst out of the car the next second to throw away the handkerchief himself.
Uncle Li took the handkerchief from Gu Yao’s hand, alleviating the standoffish atmosphere, "Miss, get in the car."
