Stop There, Daddy

When Wen Shuyue arrived, everyone was basically here. The food on the table wasn’t touched at all. Obviously, people were waiting for her to show up and then they would start the feast.

“My apologies. I had some things to deal with.” Wen Shuyue said with a smile as she slowly walked to the position next to Gu Ning and then put her bag on the back of the chair.

“Miss Wen is late, please have three shots.” A manager who was a busybody, stood up and suggested.

“Right, right, drink.” Everyone started to cheer up.

Wen Shuyue smiled helplessly and raised the glass in front of her. “Alright, I’ll drink.”Original from NôvelDrama.Org.

Then she gulped one right away, someone immediately poured her the second one and the third one. Wen Shuyu couldn’t drink much but today people were celebrating her success, so she had to drink.

“We’re here to celebrate Miss Wen winning the championship of the National Costume Design Competition. At the same time, I also officially announce that I will raise Miss Wen’s wages. Everyone, please applaud Miss Wen.” Gu Ning stood up and said to the employees with a commanding attitude and a smile on his face.

After Gu Ning finished, everyone clapped. The sound hit Wen Shuyue’s ears, but Wen Shuyue just kept smiling and remained self-modest.

“Congratulations, Miss Wen. Now you leveled up again, and you’ll definitely be getting better and better in the future.” Vice President Chen, who was sitting beside Wen Shuyue, stood up first and raised his glass to congratulate her happily.

“Thank you.” Wen Shuyue arose and clinked glasses with Vice President Chen. Then they both drained their glasses in one gulp.

“Miss Wen has a high tolerance.” Everyone praised Wen Shuyue when they saw she had drunk four shots since she came in. Soon after, all the company department managers in the room stood up to toast and congratulate Wen Shuyue.

The dozen people present had the alcohol in one gulp so Wen Shuyue had to follow them and empty her glass, too. After over ten glasses, Wen Shuyue felt her face was a little hot.

“Alright, since the protagonist has arrived, then let the feast begin. Everyone, let’s start drinking and enjoying the food. We are not at the company today. Everyone has to have fun and have fun!” Gu Ning, who was sitting at the seat of honour, gave a speech. Then everyone started to eat, drink and chat with others. The room became lively right away.

Wen Shuyue had some water to suppress the discomfort in her stomach. Then, she took her glass again and turned to Gu Ning, “Mr. Gu, thanks for your patience and tolerance all this time. Here is to you.”

Gu Ning looked at Wen Shuyue’s slightly red face with deep eyes. It was hard to tell his emotions. He only raised his glass and drank with Wen Shuyue, but he did not say anything.

Wen Shuyue didn’t mind and directly emptied her glass. After all, he was her boss. Even if she didn’t want to drink the wine, she still had to do it. After she finished her drink, Wen Shuyue no longer picked up the glass but ate some vegetables. She wanted to suppress the tipsy feeling, but she felt her stomach churning just after taking two bites.

Wen Shuyue covered her mouth with her hand and suppressed the feeling in her stomach a little. When she stood up, she felt drunk and her body started to sway slightly. Her vision started to double when she looked at the ground. Wen Shuyue supported the table with her left hand and slowly walked towards the bathroom after standing firmly.

Gu Ning’s eyes were fixed on Wen Shuyue. Seeing her unsteady and slower steps, he immediately understood that she was really drunk and was worried about her.

Wen Shuyue walked into the bathroom and finally spat out. She felt much better after she finished. After cleaning her mouth with water, Wen Shuyue returned to the private room after she stabilized herself.

When Wen Shuyue came in, Gu Ning quickly moved his eyes away. Coincidentally, a colleague toasted him, so Gu Ning turned to drink with him. Wen Shuyue saw Gu Ning sitting there drinking and felt a little strange. She thought it might be her illusion and sat back in her seat.

After everyone had a great time, they left the restaurant. They were still unsatisfied and wanted to have more fun in a Karaoke bar. Many young people in the team liked having fun.

“Not me. It’s too late. Wen Baobao is at home. I’m worried about him.” Wen Shuyue said with her unsteady steps. She had drank a few more glasses when they are about to leave. Now she felt she was floating.

“Well…” The crowd was at a loss what to do. After all, Miss Wen was the protagonist tonight. If she didn’t go, it was improper for them to go.

“Go and have fun. I’ll send Miss Wen back. Keep the receipt. The company will pay for that.” Gu Ning said gently. His handsome face had a warm smile.

“Alright then, see you, Mr. Gu and Miss Wen,” everyone bade farewell and went to sing karaoke together.

“Let’s go!” Gu Ning raised his eyebrows at Wen Shuyue who was obviously drunk.

Wen Shuyue looked at Gu Ning. She actually didn’t want Gu Ning to send her home. They were not suitable to be alone in such a relationship. She said politely, “There’s no need, Mr. Gu. I’ll just take a taxi myself.”

Gu Ning felt restless when he saw Wen Shuyue’s polite gesture. He brushed the bag in Wen Shuyue’s hand and walked in front of her, saying, “Hurry up.”

Wen Shuyue saw that her bag was snatched away. Obviously, Gu Ning insisted on sending her home, so she could only follow closely. Gu Ning deliberately slowed down and waited for Wen Shuyue to catch up.

Then Wen Shuyue got into Gu Ning’s car obediently. Seeing Wen Shuyue sitting in the back seat, Gu Ning smiled bitterly and asked where she lived. Wen Shuyue told him the address of He Family and then fell asleep.

Twenty minutes later, the car arrived at the villa gate. Gu Ning looked at the villa in front of him and didn’t think much about it. He opened the door and walked to the back seat, and pulled Wen Shuyue up gently.

The light shone on Wen Shuyue’s face, and Gu Ning was attracted by her sleeping face. He unconsciously approached her red face, her quivering eyelashes. Her steady breath was just right on his face. Gu Ning felt like his pores were open and his lips subconsciously kissed her forehead.

The cold feeling woke Wen Shuyue up. She saw Gu Ning’s face close to hers and quickly pushed him away.

“I…” Gu Ning was also shocked when he saw Wen Shuyue was woken up. He let her push him away and awkwardly didn’t know what to say.

“I’m leaving now.” Wen Shuyue said angrily. She carried her bag and walked towards the door unsteadily.

Gu Ning watched Wen Shuyue leave sadly, annoyed at what he had done. Neither of them noticed a shadow staring at them from the second-floor window.

He Siming’s face was cold, his fists clenched. He closed the curtains, walked out of the room and went downstairs.

“It seems you’re having a good time. Even kissed.” He Siming said coldly with sarcasm.

Wen Shuyue entered the hall and saw He Siming standing on the stairs. When she heard what he said, she understood that he saw it. She quickly explained, “It’s not like that. I don’t know he would kiss me while I’m asleep.”

Obviously, He Siming didn’t want to listen to her explanation. He stared at her coldly for a moment then turned around up the stairs.
