Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Gu Mian was wearing a pink, knee-length dress which exposed her long, pale legs. She looked very pure even though she was not wearing any makeup. Her skin was fair, and her long hair hung down like seaweed. Her eyes seemed to be gleaming like the brightest sunshine in the entire world.
She turned around as she looked at the woman beside her and smiled. Her side profile seemed so peaceful and elegant. Her features, from the bridge of her nose all the way down to her lips, were exceptionally pretty.
Tang Zui got a mug of beer and emptied it as soon as he came in. Only then did the sense of suffocation in his chest lessen slightly. When his gaze fell upon Gu Mian, he tightened his grip on the handle of the mug instantly. His breathing accelerated a little as well.
A sexy woman took the initiative to walk over to Tang Zui’s side. She rested her arm on his shoulder. “Young Master Tang, why are you drinking alone today? Why don’t you let me keep you company?”
“All right. But you’re not just drinking together with me, you are going to accompany me throughout the night!” Tang Zui extended his arm and held the woman’s waist. He pulled her in and sat her on his lap.
Even though Gu Mian had no intention of paying attention to Tang Zui, she could never not notice him. She looked at the two of them who were pressed together. Her body stiffened a little.
Su Qianxun pulled Gu Mian over to the sofa and sat down. She bought a glass of fruit juice for Gu Mian and said, “I’ll buy you a birthday cake later to celebrate your birthday.”
“There’s no need for that. Just keep Sir Jue company and thank him properly. He has helped both of us a great deal today.” Gu Mian winked at her to remind her.
Su Qianxun blushed a little. She picked up a glass of fruit juice as she tried to conceal her anxiety. How was she supposed to thank him?
Long Sijue was drinking some wine, and his gaze had been fixed on the young woman beside him. He looked at her reddish little face. The part of his body below his abdomen swelled slightly.
“Jue, you’re pretty fit, aren’t you? I never expected you to be able to pull a car that has so much horsepower with your bare hands!” Si Mancheng suddenly said.
Su Qianxun what Si Mancheng said and looked at Long Sijue. ‘So, his arm was injured so badly because pulled a car with his bare hands?’
Long Sijue looked at her as well. Their eyes met, and the young woman blinked, feeling a little awkward. She immediately turned her gaze away.
“Ms. Su, you should really be thanking Jue this time. If he didn’t pull the car Roger was driving, you would have fallen off the cliff!” Si Mancheng knew that with Long Sijue’s character, he would absolutely never let Su Qianxun know about that incident.
So, if he didn’t say it out loud, Su Qianxun would never learn about it. Long Sijue almost lost an arm trying to save her that day.
Su Qianxun’s hands trembled for a moment. She even spilled the fruit juice in her glass. She looked at the man before her. She could no longer hear what everyone else was saying. There was only one voice echoing in her head, telling her that Long Sijue’s arm was injured from saving her!
She then suddenly recalled the time he had not hesitated even a single bit in choosing Lan Qingcheng…
The young woman felt extremely upset at the thought of this. She bit her lip and spoke softly. “Even though you came to save me only after you had made sure that your fiance was not in danger anymore… I’m still very grateful.”
Long Sijue saw that the young woman’s eyes were brimming with tears, and a hint of danger flashed past his eyes. He suddenly pulled her into his arms as he fixed his eyes on hers, “So, is that what you think?”
Su Qianxun did not understand the meaning behind his words. She nodded solemnly as she turned and looked at him. “Yes. After all, the only thing bringing us together is an agreement. I’m already extremely grateful that you’re willing to save my life.”
