Chapter 15: You Look a Bit Pretty Today

Yan Jingcheng looked at her with a smile that didn't quite reach his eyes, his deep black pupils inscrutable.

Gu Mingzhu's momentum immediately weakened, and the flames in her eyes gradually dimmed.

She slowly sat back down and whispered, "Actually, I think I can have a little more to drink..."

With that, she slowly picked up a glass, sipping from it in small sips.

Gu Mingzhu silently calculated that she absolutely couldn't let this despicable man stand with the Gu family. Otherwise, her plan would fail, and she might never have another chance to bring down the Gu family in her lifetime.

Seeing her lowering her eyebrows and adopting a submissive posture, Yan Jingcheng didn't rush to speak.

After Gu Mingzhu forced down half of the glass, her head started spinning. Her watery eyes surreptitiously assessed Yan Jingcheng, contemplating whether to flatter this despicable man.

Yan Jingcheng noticed her expression and felt that her fair face seemed particularly lively.

The woman's jet-black eyes revealed a hint of cunningness, as if she were plotting something mischievous. Coupled with her boneless and lazy appearance, she looked like a sly little fox!

After struggling for a moment, Gu Mingzhu finally decided that she didn't care about her reputation anymore!

Because her luck was so bad, she had been caught by this despicable man.

Feeling annoyed, Gu Mingzhu looked up at Yan Jingcheng again, her misty eyes now filled with sincerity. "Yan Jingcheng... You look... a bit pretty today."

Yan Jingcheng raised an eyebrow, giving her a cold glance.

"When you smile... you look like the moon in the sky..." Gu Mingzhu slowly spoke, her voice soft and somewhat unclear.

After saying that, she tilted her head and stared at the glass, frowning slightly, dissatisfied with her own metaphor. "What a ridiculous comparison..."

Yan Jingcheng: "..."

Seeing her gaze becoming unfocused, Yan Jingcheng knew she was a bit drunk. She stared blankly at the glass, seeming genuinely intoxicated.

He looked at her and said in a deep voice, "Come here."

Gu Mingzhu hesitated for a moment, her reaction somewhat slow.

She sluggishly got up, but before she could take a few steps, she stepped on a glass that had fallen on the carpet earlier and stumbled.

Yan Jingcheng impatiently pulled her up, pressing her onto his lap, and sneered, "Since you're so disobedient, I might as well break your leg."

His warm breath fell on her ear, and Gu Mingzhu finally came to her senses.

She raised her eyes to look at the man. His features were sharp and distinct, his black pupils aggressive and piercing, cold yet fierce, but his lips curved slightly, carrying a hint of recklessness and laziness.

Knowing he was referring to her leg, Gu Mingzhu instinctively retorted, albeit slowly, "Your mouth is so foul, why isn't it shut?"

Yan Jingcheng stared at her with his dark eyes for a while before smiling.

This smile carried a hint of roguishness, yet it was as warm as the sun in the sky, bringing a sense of warmth like the return of spring, making people's chests warm, like the lazy afternoon sun, exceptionally comforting.

Gu Mingzhu was dazzled by it, feeling a bit regretful. This despicable man had such a bad temper, it was a waste of his good looks!

Before she could finish her complaint, she met Yan Jingcheng's dark gaze.

Gu Mingzhu's throat tightened, almost suspecting if she had blurted out loud just now.

Her stomach churned at an inappropriate moment, and Gu Mingzhu, facing the man's cold and fierce gaze, suddenly turned a bit pale.

Yan Jingcheng lowered his head to look at the woman shrinking in his arms, his pupils black as night. He pinched her chin, his lips curving up slowly. "Scared of me?"
