Drunk on Marriage, Billionaire's Overindulgent Love

Chapter 564 - 251. [Summer of Dew]:

The "Mr. Gu" she referred to could only be Gu Shaozhi.The women, still savoring the gossip, had a gleam in their eyes—oh my, there was an even more exciting drama tonight!

...

Everyone present was a drama queen; after Shen Weiyi changed her clothes and came downstairs, no one mentioned what had just happened.

The atmosphere was lively with laughter and chatter.

About half an hour later, everyone moved to the hotel’s backyard.

Night, champagne, beauties, and a pool party—these are the most common elements of high society.

The beautiful Miss Ji might have been ostracized, as no other women talked to her, and the few bold men who tried to approach her were scared off by Jin Sinan’s warning glance.

Miss Ji seemed unconcerned, not participating in any activities, merely sitting in a chair, casually swirling a glass of champagne.

"Ji Wanxia," Jin Sinan extinguished his cigarette, the usual playful look in his long black eyes replaced with seriousness and focus, "are you interested in dating me?"

This was the first time he called Wanxia by her full name.

Wanxia paused her glass-swirling but quickly resumed her natural demeanor, her gaze lazily drifting over the merry crowd, and gave a concise reply, "No."

Jin Sinan wasn’t surprised by the blunt refusal.

He stated slowly, "I have a handsome appearance and a rich family. Indeed, there were a few women in my past, not that I particularly liked them—mostly just playing along."

The term ’a few’ wasn’t exactly accurate, but he couldn’t leave the impression of being a ’playboy’ with the one he liked.

"That night on the hotel balcony, under the starry sky when you smiled at me, I knew I was done for. Simply put, I, a man in my thirties, wanted to date you, wanted to sleep with you."

There probably wasn’t a more straightforward and blunt confession than this.

Love at first sight, just driven by lust—at his age, he had no interest in pretending.

Wanxia still didn’t look at him, her delicate eyebrows showed no fluctuation, "I think this cake is quite good, do you want to try it?"

"Ji Wanxia!" Jin Sinan’s expression didn’t look good.

After closing his eyes, he leaned over to cup Miss Ji’s face, his gaze serious for the first time, "Even though I don’t know what you want, whatever Gu Shaozhi can do, I can too."

After a moment of eye contact, Wanxia pushed him away, her voice calm, "What I want, no one can except him."

If it weren’t because only Gu Shaozhi could do it, the once-disappeared-for-four-years Ji Wanxia wouldn’t make such a grand appearance, and even though Mu Jin Huan was far in Qing City, he could still easily extend his reach to An City.

Jin Sinan understood this rationale.

"When your goal is achieved, if you don’t plan to reconcile with Gu Shaozhi, can I get in line?"

Wanxia blinked and smiled, "If you can help An Ge assemble the latest Lego model when you come to the Ji Family Villa tomorrow night, I’ll let you cut in line."

Since Pea was carried by Jin Sinan to get the grape on top of the eight-layer cake, she’s been going on about Uncle Jin, Uncle Jin all day.

Jin Sinan curved his lips, "That’s what you said."

As the birthday party’s main character, Shen Weiyi constantly had people around her. Perhaps feeling she’d had a tough time, during the latter half, everyone did their own thing without bothering her, allowing her time and space to rest and adjust.

Of course, Wanxia wasn’t as considerate as those people.

In the summer night, the area around the pool was cool.

She carried two glasses of champagne over and sat next to Shen Weiyi, "Miss Shen, didn’t you want to pounce on me and tear me apart just now?"

The goddess-like Shen Weiyi, who had the freshness of a lotus, was publicly humiliated by the arrogant and seductive Ji Wanxia, which must have been a blow to her pride.

"It’s alright," Shen Weiyi smiled faintly, "If a mad dog bites me, I can’t exactly bite back."

Wanxia let out a light laugh.

Very well, that’s more like Shen Weiyi’s style.

"Exactly," Wanxia took an elegant sip of champagne, and when she turned to look at Shen Weiyi, she was smiling, though the smile carried no warmth, "You know, when Xia Qian was raped by an ’obsessed fan,’ she was pregnant, and the child was only three months old."

Xia Qian...

Hearing that name, Shen Weiyi’s hand, resting on her thigh, suddenly clenched, and her face lost all color, turning pale.

"The one who got her pregnant wasn’t me, nor was I the one who raped her," she turned away, her features hidden in shadow, making her expression hard to read, but her voice no longer as gentle as before, "What does this have to do with me?"

Pregnant...

Xia Qian was actually pregnant at the time...

"Didn’t you admit it four years ago?" Wanxia laughed lightly, "Why make yourself look so innocent now? Could it be that Gu Shaozhi has had a change of heart and isn’t planning to protect you anymore?"

Come on, that wouldn’t be any fun.

A breeze blew by, and Shen Weiyi raised her hand to tuck a stray lock behind her ear, "Ji Wanxia, you came uninvited and disrupted my birthday party, and I won’t bicker over that. But if you continue saying defamatory things about me, I can charge you with slander."

"Charge me..." Wanxia stifled a laugh and asked nonchalantly, "Do you have evidence?"

Four years ago, Shen Weiyi avoided everyone and went to Wanxia’s hospital room. After elegantly peeling an apple, those were exactly the seven words she had said.

The paleness had faded from Shen Weiyi’s face, restored by the usual goddess smile, "Not now, but you will definitely provide evidence for me."

Wanxia nodded, "Alright, I’ll be waiting for your lawyer’s letter."

...

When Mr. Gu arrived, both those playing in the pool and those sitting drinking fell silent.

All eyes were on him.

Shen Weiyi knew about the phone call from his manager, and when she saw him, no one else knew of the joy she felt inside.

She put down her wine glass and gracefully stood, but before she could take a step, her arm was grabbed.

"Ji Wanxia, what are you doing?"

Back then, didn’t Ji Wanxia, born into a noble family, feel even sparing a glance at her was a waste of time?

The sound of leather shoes tapping on the ground grew closer, Wanxia’s exquisite features broke into a radiant smile. Leaning close to Shen Weiyi’s ear, she whispered, "The feeling of being misunderstood by everyone but powerless to explain, Miss Shen seems like she should taste it."

Shen Weiyi hadn’t yet figured out the meaning behind her words when Wanxia pulled her towards the pool with surprising force. Instinctively, with her free hand, she pushed Wanxia away.

In the quiet surroundings, the sudden ’splash’ was unmistakable.

Someone fell into the pool.
