Chapter 37.1: Step-Brother's Toy 14

Song ZhenYi's tolerance for alcohol was extremely low and horrible!

He could not stop the steady stream of toasting by his juniors, and after forcing down a few cups of wine, it was a MAN DOWN situation! He sat on the chair with his scarlet-red cheeks and blurry eyes as he grinned at Gu MingYue.

It took Gu MingYue a lot of effort to resist the urge to pinch his cheeks, Lao Song is so adorable~~ She cried silently within her heart.

However, even if the Imperial Godly Grass was in a drunken state, his demeanor was still filled with a sense of careless elegance. The juniors, who had never seen Song ZhenYi in such a graceful and beautiful state, were eagerly trying to make him drink more wine.

Gu MingYue sensitively noticed a few wolf-like hungry gazes from some of the men and women in this room, and they felt like sharp thorns pricking her back. In fact, she was less worried about the women as compared to the hungry men within this room, because no matter which era she was in, there would always be men who loved the taste of other men.

I have to defend the chastity of my man! She swore.

Gu MingYue, who was only as tall as Song ZhenYi's shoulders, stood up next to him and wrapped one of his arms over her own shoulders, before clasping his strong chest with both hands to support the limp man with all her strength.

Gu MingYue grinned apologetically towards the grinning crowd, "Sorry, but ZhenYi is a little drunk and if he stays here, he will surely be mad and embarrassed when he's conscious. Besides, our child is waiting for us at home, so we'll take our leave."

Her words were reasonable, and Song ZhenYi was really drunk. And considering that there was still a young child waiting for their return, no one at the banquet tried to persuade them to stay.

Furthermore, the main star of this banquet was not these two, and Song ZhenYi's arrival was just a wonderful surprise.

The drunk man could not even walk properly and with great effort, Gu MingYue, who was supporting his staggering frame, finally reached the entrance of the hotel. She was so exhausted that her sweat was seeping through the back of her dress, and right on the spot, she decided that she would never allow him to drink alcohol outside any longer. It was really troublesome for them and it would give others, with bad intentions towards them, an opportunity to take advantage of the situation.

But of course, if Song ZhenYi had not blocked all the wine that was toasted to Gu MingYue, he would not have been so drunk.

Gu MingYue understood this within her heart, and her slight annoyance was filled to the brim with sweetness, causing her already striking features to beam vividly and charmingly.

Seeing that she was almost out of the hotel, a tall figure stepped in the way and blocked her exit.

"My dear sister, how have you been?" Shen Rong folded his arms around his chest and looked at the sweaty young woman with an ungenuine smile, "It's been four years since we last met, shouldn't you be greeting your brother before leaving?"

"Mr Shen, I'm sorry but we need to go home." Gu MingYue nodded at the man standing in front of her in greeting, before moving around him to reach the hotel exit. She had no plans to discuss any matters with Shen Rong

Not now, and never again in the future.

This is all.

She had no intentions of getting associated with the mission target any longer, and after giving birth to HanYi, the hidden relationship between Shen Rong and her had deepened, and it should be sufficient for the system to rate this world as a success.

Right now, all she needed to do was to wait for an opportunity to reveal Song HanYi, and this task should be over and she would be free to live and enjoy her remaining lifespan in this world together with Song ZhenYi.

To think that Shen Rong's child would be calling another man 'father' and was raised in a place that he would never be able to touch. No matter what feelings he had for this child born with the Shen Family's blood, it would definitely be a complicated feeling that would be difficult for him to deny in the future.

Furthermore, Gu MingYue was certain that neither the Shen Family nor Shen Rong would look forward to this scandalous child. If news broke out that Shen Rong, a rising star within the political community, had a child with his nominally underage younger sister, his political career would surely come to an end.

Not to mention that he was about to get married soon. If Zhao ChunRan found out that he was already the father of a child, surely she would think twice before proceeding with the marriage.

However, Gu MingYue did not want to do anything that would hurt HanYi right now, as she wanted to keep a pure environment for her child, so that he would have an innocent and carefree childhood.

She had long since decided that she would never use HanYi as the last resort unless she had no other choice but to announce the existence of this illegitimate child...

Gu MingYue knew clearly that this news would be enough to disrupt Shen Rong's current life and give him a significantly huge headache.

But even so, it'll have to be on another day. There were too many people in the hotel, and Song ZhenYi was still drunk and leaning against her shoulders, hence Gu MingYue chose to keep her mouth shut as it was not a good time.

Her detached and indifferent expression, together with her flat and uninterested tone, instantly made Shen Rong lose his cool and the pretended calmness within him broke into pieces within seconds.

A scorching flame had been burning within his heart and it had been beating against his chest uncontrollably ever since the start of the banquet when he first saw Gu MingYue again after all these years.

For years, he had searched for her desperately, thinking that he would never again see this woman standing in front of him.

And here she was, well and alive, and still as beautiful as ever...

When he first saw her in the private room, he had thought this to be one of his dreams, and just her appearance was enough to make him feel beam ecstatically with joy.

He wanted to rush over and drag her into his arms for a long and tight hug.

He wanted to ask where had she been all these years and how was she capable of hiding so well that even the professionals he hired were unable to track her person.

He wanted to kiss her fiercely and bring her to somewhere hidden, so he could punish this little woman, just as he did in his dreams, and show her that deep within his heart, he had been extremely worried for her...

But he could not do so, because there was now already another man by her side, and he was none other than the eldest son of the Song Family - Song ZhenYi.
