After Su Qianxun fed him the pills, she felt her cheeks burning. She quickly put the remaining pills away, trying to mask her nervousness.
The young woman was about to get up and leave Long Sijue alone when he suddenly threw his arms around her. A moment later, the two of them were lying in bed together with the young woman in his tight embrace.
“Young master…”
“What should you call me?” Long Sijue’s voice was slightly raspy.
Su Qianxun did not know what to say.
“Sleep,” Long Sijue said and turned off the light. Darkness enveloped the room. He held the young woman in his arms even tighter.
Su Qianxun thought that she would have trouble sleeping in his arms. But in fact, as she felt the burning warmth on his chest and listened to his vigorous heartbeat, she fell asleep soon enough.
Long Sijue breathed in her distinct scent. After a moment, he, too, closed his eyes in relief…
For the past few nights, without her next to him, he had not had a good night’s sleep. Other than when he was feeling very ill, he had not been able to sleep at night at all.
…..
In Shengtang Nightclub.
Gu Mian accompanied Gu Ling as he went to meet up with potential business partners today. Even though the bank had already started processing their loan request, there was an issue with a contract they were about to sign with another company.
Gu Mian saw the gloomy look on her older brother’s face every day. She wanted to help him out too.
But Gu Mian was too naive. Their potential business partners kept pouring wine into her glass. Whenever Gu Ling stopped them, they criticized the Gu siblings for not being genuinely interested in their deal and threatened to end their talk.
Even though Gu Ling was anxious and angry, he had no choice but to suppress his frustration. All Gu Mian could do was drink the wine. However, the more tolerant the Gu siblings were, the more brazen the men were. One of them even put his hand on Gu Mian’s thigh.
Just as Gu Ling was about to lose his temper, someone kicked open the door to the private lounge. It was Tang Zui. He stood at the doorway and gazed at everyone in the room with a smirk.
When Gu Ling saw Tang Zui, his expression darkened. Gu Mian felt embarrassed. If she were to let everybody but one person witness how pathetic she was, that person would definitely be Tang Zui.
“Boss Tang, what a coincidence. You’re here as well?” One of Gu Ling’s potential business partners, the manager, saw Tang Zui and his eyes lit up. Their company had been wanting to work with Long Corporation, but they never had the chance to meet anyone from said company, not even their general manager, Tang Zui.
“I have come to look for my wife. We have something to discuss.” Tang Zui looked towards Gu Mian.
The moment he said that, the men in the room broke into a cold sweat. ‘Why did the Gu siblings act so humble and pathetic in front of us even though they have such a powerful in-law?’
“Gu Mian, come with me,” Tang Zui said. He then turned and left the room.
Gu Mian could only stand up and said, “Big brother, I’ll go with him and see what he’s up to. Excuse me, everyone, I have to leave now.”
“Give me a call if anything happens,” Gu Ling reminded her.
After Gu Mian left, the men’s smiles became rather awkward. Then, the tables had turned. They immediately ordered their subordinates to send the newly-drafted contract over and closed the deal with Gu Ling.
When Tang Zui entered a private lounge, Gu Mian could not do anything except bite the bullet and go in after him. After all, she had promised him that she would return the one hundred million RMB he loaned her older brother to him, but they had not been able to do that for now
There were a lot of men and women in the private lounge, Tang Zui entered the room and sat down. Two women immediately came over and sat beside him. Gu Mian did not expect such a sight. Bewildered, she simply stood still and stared at Tang Zui.
Tang Zui picked up a cigarette from the coffee table. The woman beside him immediately leaned over and lit the cigarette for him. Both women who were sitting next to him were glaring vigilantly at Gu Mian with hostile looks on their faces.
“About the one hundred million RMB that I loaned to Gu Ling, you don’t have to pay me back anymore. After all, you’ve been keeping me satisfied for so long. Although I wasn’t very pleased with your body, you can keep the money in exchange for your service,” Tang Zui exhaled a mouthful of smoke and said as he stared at Gu Mian.
