Drunk on Marriage, Billionaire's Overindulgent Love

Chapter 560 - 250. [Dew of Summer] Wanxia saw the incoming call display on Mr. Gu’s phone: Weiwei. _4

The things he used to hate, now... even if they were offered to his sister, he found them an eyesore.Nan Wan was long accustomed to Mr. Mu’s protective nature towards his sister and didn’t bother to argue, "Actually, I think Gu Shaozhi is quite charming, especially with that face that could make young girls gush. It’s no surprise that Wanxia would fall for him."

Back then, when I first saw them at the airport, their affection and sweetness did not seem like a façade.

But it’s possible that when Gu Shaozhi liked Ji Wanxia, he treated her with all the tenderness in the world. Yet, once his true love wanted to reconcile, Ji Wanxia would no longer hold the same place in his heart, and all the sweet affection would turn empty.

Whether love remains or not, who knows...

"I thought after Mrs. Mu married me, her taste in men would improve," Mu Jin Huan pulled the distracted woman beneath him, continuing what was previously left unfinished, "Apparently, that’s not the case."

He lowered his voice, husky and deep, his slender fingers moving skillfully, seemingly trying to provoke a reaction from her.

"We’re discussing the matter at hand, personal attacks are pointless!"

Mrs. Mu, spoiled as she was, lifted her foot to kick him, but he easily subdued her. No matter how she moved, she ended up in his embrace, like a lamb to the slaughter.

Seeing that her nightgown was about to be pulled open, she glared at him, face flushed, "Get off, I don’t want to tonight."

Mu Jin Huan pinned her mischievous hands above her head. His demeanor was somewhat domineering, but his touch remained gentle, as a tempting smile curved his lips. He lowered his head to kiss her.

A deep, intimate voice spilled from the space between their joined lips, "It’s okay, in a while, you will."

When Wanxia opened the door, Pea was already asleep.

Pea Princess lay sprawled on the bedding, bum raised, a challenging sleeping position that caused her breath to come out in gentle snores.

She looked like a soft and adorable hamster.

Wanxia stood with her hand still on the doorknob, watching Pea in the throes of a sweet dream, momentarily amused.

She walked over to the bed, placed her phone back on the desk, and adjusted Pea’s position to lay her flat, her movements delicate and cautious.

After tucking Pea in with a light blanket, Wanxia couldn’t resist reaching out to touch her chubby little face.

At that time, Pea was still so small, unable to walk or call out for mom or dad, only uttering words in a language Wanxia couldn’t understand.

In the blink of an eye, Pea Princess would soon be off to kindergarten.

Wanxia wasn’t sure how long she’d stood there, her leg starting to feel numb, before she finally pulled herself back from that dazed state.

As she prepared to stand and take a shower, Pea suddenly clasped her finger in slumber, murmuring in a sweet voice, "Mama."

It was an unconscious action, yet it made Wanxia’s heart skip a beat.

Although she knew Pea was calling for Nan Wan, her hard, cold heart still melted like it had been kissed by an angel.

After a long while, a gentle smile spread across her cheeks, and she leaned down to kiss Pea’s forehead, "Goodnight, An Ge."

...

After her shower, Wanxia received an email from Song Mingyang.

The shot was taken from a distance back then, so the photo wasn’t very clear. Yet Miss Shen’s celebrity face, famed far and wide in the entertainment industry, was still recognizable after a glance or two.

The man she was speaking to was angled away from the camera, showing less than a third of his face, with a cigarette dangling from his lips, the swirling smoke blurring his features even further.

This silhouette was nothing especially distinctive, but Wanxia would remember it for a lifetime.

Even if she died a thousand times over, it would still be too little.

Wanxia applied a delicate makeup look, her long hair loosely pinned at the nape, with strands purposefully left out to accentuate her petite face shape.

The dress she wore was red, as always.

Vibrant and captivating.

As Wanxia descended the stairs holding up her dress, the housemaid, in the midst of wiping the table, found herself staring in awe, unable to avert her gaze, even missing what Wanxia had said.

Realizing, the maid promptly lowered her head, respectfully asking, "Miss Ji, what did you just say?"

Except when she’s with kids, this Miss Ji seldom smiles or speaks, and though the aloofness in her demeanor wasn’t pronounced, it always gave off an air of distance and detachment.

She was not the easiest to get along with.

Wanxia walked into the living room, her words gentle and calm, "I’m heading out. I’ll be back a bit late; remember to tuck An Ge in."

The maid quickly nodded in acknowledgment.

Half a month ago, Miss Ji had stepped out just like today, evidently dressed with meticulous care, leaving in the evening and returning only at four or five the next morning.

Her employer, Mr. Mu, had instructed that she only needed to take care of the two, ensuring no curiosity about what should not be seen or heard, and most importantly, to not overstep boundaries.

Thus, she never dared to ask questions.

Upon hearing Wanxia’s words, Pea, who had been watching cartoons, lifted her head, blinking her eyes as she asked, "Auntie, where are you going?"

Her face clearly displayed: I’d love to join you, can you take me along?

"Auntie’s going to..." Wanxia initially thought to make up a random excuse, knowing the child’s world was simple and her every word would be believed.

She could say she was off to buy her ice cream or toys, or simply state she was going to work.

But right when the excuse was at the tip of her tongue, she couldn’t bring herself to say it because she didn’t want to deceive the child.

"Auntie’s leaving her phone with you; Aunt Li will help you call mom," Wanxia sat on the sofa, lightly bumping foreheads with Pea, softly coaxing, "And auntie will try to come back early so you’ll see me when you wake, okay?"

Despite being a little disappointed, Pea nodded obediently, "...Alright."

This house was so large; she didn’t like being alone, but mom and dad had said that when auntie needed to go out, she couldn’t cling to her.

A security guard reached to stop the woman who walked gracefully, catching numerous gazes, and politely asked, "Miss Ji, do you have an invitation?"

This was Ji Wanxia, once the beloved Mrs. Gu of four years ago, her tears enough for Mr. Gu to take drastic actions.

In An City, almost no one wasn’t familiar with her face.

Wanxia innocently blinked, "Ah... do I need an invitation? I don’t have one."

"Well..." The guard seemed troubled, "Without an invitation, no one is permitted inside."

Tonight is Shen the Superstar’s birthday party, with countless fans. Only those strictly vetted and selected could possibly be allowed entry.
