The Huang Anqi Who Refused to Leave

"Yaya, what’s wrong with you~"

A white sports car traveled down the road. Wu Mengchen was driving, while Lin Qinghe sat in the passenger seat beside her.

Gu Sheng and Le Erya sat in the back. At that moment, Gu Sheng was trying to cozy up to Le Erya!

"I’m angry!"

Le Erya shot him a cold look and said indignantly, "A girl’s first kiss was stolen by a puppy who’s two-timing her. Don’t you think that’s infuriating?"

"W-Wait, Yaya, what are you talking about? What do you mean, two-timing?"

Gu Sheng cautiously glanced at the two people in front, then lowered his voice as he spoke to Le Erya. He even tried to reach out and grab her little hand.

"Let go~"

Le Erya tried to dodge, but the car was too cramped for her to get away. After Gu Sheng caught her hand, she struggled, but still couldn’t break free.

She didn’t want to attract the attention of the two people in front, so she gave up struggling and merely ordered Gu Sheng coldly.

"No. If you don’t explain yourself, I’m not letting go."

How could Gu Sheng compromise so easily? Of course he wasn’t going to release Le Erya without a fight.

"What’s your relationship with your boss, Liu Daimei? Do I really have to spell it out?"

Le Erya said somewhat aggrievedly, "You already have Chu Xin, and then you’re involved with that Liu Daimei too. Now you’ve come to provoke me. What do you take me for? Some woman you can play with whenever you want, or are you planning to keep me as your long-term backup?"

"Well, this… this…"

Gu Sheng gave an awkward little laugh. He wasn’t stupid; he naturally knew that he had let the cat out of the bag at the Municipal Bureau. Habit really was a terrible thing. He and Liu Daimei were simply too familiar with each other, and they had grown used to being casual about everything when they were together.

"Yaya, can I choose the last one?"

Gu Sheng lowered his voice. "I don’t mean to abandon you after bullying you. It’s just that things are hard to explain on Xin’er’s side. I promise you, from now on I won’t…"

When Le Erya heard this, her eyes turned red. She covered his mouth and said resolutely, "What do you take me, Le Erya, for? Let me tell you this, Gu Sheng. There’s no past between us, and certainly no future. Let this afternoon’s events be a misunderstanding. From now on, we’ll each go our own way. Don’t come looking for me, and I won’t go looking for you."

"Yaya~"

There was a pleading note in Gu Sheng’s voice, but Le Erya couldn’t accept such an absurd situation. She turned her head away and refused to look at him, while two tears silently fell onto the seat.

"We’re here~"

The sports car came to a smooth stop. The two women in front, who had been tense the whole way, finally breathed a sigh of relief. Wu Mengchen was actually still a novice driver.

After getting in the car, Gu Sheng and the others had nearly been scared to death when they found out. Fortunately, Lin Qinghe, the Lady Driver with more than five years of driving experience, had been in the passenger seat and helped deal with several mishaps along the way. That was how they had made it safely to the hotel.

"Little Brother Gu, Xiao Ya, get out."

Wu Mengchen stepped out of the driver’s seat and walked to the rear of the sports car, tapping on the back-seat window.

Gu Sheng rolled down the window and said to Wu Mengchen, "Sister Chen, Yaya suddenly feels a little unwell. I’ll stay here with her for a while. You and Sister He go ahead."

"Xiao Ya, are you all right?"

Wu Mengchen looked toward Le Erya, who sat there silently, and felt somewhat puzzled. Le Erya’s emotions had changed so much today!

"I’m fine. Go ahead, Sister Chen."

Le Erya lowered her head and replied, then fell silent again and refused to look at anyone. She didn’t want anyone to see her tears.

"All right. Hurry up. You, brat, take good care of your Yaya."

Wu Mengchen didn’t think much of it. She pointed at Gu Sheng as she gave him an instruction, then linked arms with Lin Qinghe and followed the group ahead.

They weren’t worried that Gu Sheng would do anything to Le Erya. If Le Erya were that easy to deal with, would she still be the elite selected by the Criminal Inspector team? What they couldn’t imagine was that Gu Sheng’s courage far exceeded their expectations.

"Yaya!"

Gu Sheng rolled up the window, then reached out toward Le Erya’s shoulder.

"Don’t touch me!"

Le Erya’s reaction was unexpectedly intense. She raised her head and shouted at Gu Sheng. Her face was streaked with tears, like pear blossoms in the rain.

"Yaya!"

Gu Sheng suddenly called out to her in a steady voice. Then he reached out and grabbed Le Erya, restraining her before forcing the issue.

"Uwaaah~~"

Tears streamed down Le Erya’s face as she cried after Gu Sheng kissed her again.

This man only cared about his own pleasure. He knew perfectly well that she was upset, yet he still did something like this. She cursed him inwardly, hardened her heart, and bit down hard with her pearly teeth. The taste of blood spread through her mouth.

"You…"

Le Erya stared blankly at Gu Sheng. For some reason, when she saw the faint pain on his face, she couldn’t bear it. Once again, she gave in to him, letting him take advantage of her again.

"Yaya, you’re really vicious~ Ow~"

Gu Sheng released Le Erya’s delicate head and grimaced, hissing in pain.

"Hmph~ Serves someone right!"

Le Erya turned her head away with a huff. Seeing this, Gu Sheng hurriedly tried to soothe her again. Fortunately, after what had just happened, Le Erya temporarily forgave him and let him take her hand.

The two of them lingered together for a while longer. Gu Sheng finally managed to coax Le Erya into a temporary truce, and the two left the sports car and headed toward the banquet.

The banquet was being held at the hotel where Gu Sheng and Liu Daimei were staying. The decor was excellent and the surroundings were pleasant, so Chu Fanghua was quite satisfied. She also found Gu Sheng much more agreeable to look at.

After the meal, everyone had a wonderful time. Chu Fanghua took Chu Xin and left by taxi, while Lin Qinghe, who hadn’t been drinking, drove Le Erya and Wu Mengchen home. That left only Huang Anqi as a problem.

"Anqi, I’ll get you a taxi and send you home."

Gu Sheng secretly glanced at Liu Daimei, whose flushed face was especially alluring, then gave Huang Anqi, whose cheeks were slightly red, a little grunt.

Having this little lightbulb stay at home made both him and Liu Daimei feel restrained. After all, this girl was far too bold. If she saw something she shouldn’t again, Mei-jie would surely fall out with him.

"No!"

Huang Anqi shook her head repeatedly. "I don’t want to go home!

I called home, but one person was working overtime and the other was only busy contacting her best friend. It’s empty as a haunted house. Does that make any sense? I’m not going back! What’s so good about being all alone?"

"But, but, Anqi, that’s your home, after all…"

Gu Sheng lectured her for a while. His meaning was very clear: that was her home, so how could she refuse to go back? She ought to return. Even if no one was there, she should still go home!

"I don’t wanna!"

Huang Anqi, slightly drunk from the alcohol, grumbled, "Don’t think I don’t know what that lecherous Big Brother Gu wants to do. You just want to get me out of the way so you can do that with Sister Mei~~ Uh~~ You think I don’t—mmph~ mmph mmph~~"

Gu Sheng hurriedly covered her mouth. This girl was simply too indiscreet. Fortunately, there was no one else nearby. Otherwise, his lifetime reputation would have been ruined~~
