Newlyweds 1001 Nights: Mr. Bo's Love Life Chapter 266 - Luo Zheng, Don't Be Like This...

Chapter 266: Luo Zheng, Don’t Be Like This…

Qi Sumei tried her best to calm down before answering calmly, “Ye, you know clearly that there’s nothing for me to feel. If you want me to marry you, I will! Anyways, I’m destined to be your wife, aren’t I?”

Gu Changye smiled mirthlessly before glancing at Gu Jingxuan. “Brother, aren’t you going to congratulate me?”

At this moment, Gu Jingxuan had regained his composure. He smiled and said, “Brother, of course I’d congratulate you and Sumei on getting married! I wish you an everlasting marriage… ”

“You should be calling Sumei ‘Sister-in-law’ instead.” Gu Changye suddenly interrupted him with complicated emotions.

Before Gu Jingxuan even answered, Gu Changye inched closer towards Qi Sumei and bit her earlobe. “Sumei, aren’t I… right?”

Qi Sumei shuddered and nodded frantically like a sculpture.

No one noticed the menace hidden in Gu Changye’s eyes.

He had already laid out the trap. In order to prove that Luo Zheng was telling the truth, he would simply have to see… if the prey will take the bait!

There was a strange tension in the air but fortunately, Mr. and Mrs. Gu stepped forth and brought up an important point. “Changye, Jingxuan, the important guests are about to enter. I’ll go out to receive them.”

Upon hearing those words, Gu Changye looked down, his eyelashes covering his eyes. “I must be a good host to the valued guests!”

…

The theme of the Gu Family’s banquet tonight was Mr. and Mrs. Gu’s wedding anniversary.

Hence, most of the guests invited were couples.

The open s.p.a.ce outside the hall was decorated lavishly, and was used as a holding s.p.a.ce for the guests.

From afar, Luo Zheng watched as her uncle, Luo Shuyuan, chatted with others together with Luo Tingxue and her brother. She hesitated and contemplated if she should go forth to greet them.

“So you’re here, Luo Zheng.”

She heard a voice coming from behind her.

She turned around to see that it was Xi Mubai.

“I’m sorry for being late. I ran into someone I knew so I got held up while chatting with them.”

It was rare of Xi Mubai to apologize and explain himself.

Luo Zheng looked away and glanced at the gla.s.s of wine in her hand which she could finally hand to him. “It’s alright, the banquet has just begun. Unfortunately, you missed Young Master Gu’s proposal!”

She paused and handed him the gla.s.s of wine. “You invited me to be your female partner but you showed up late. By right, shouldn’t you be drinking a gla.s.s of wine as a punishment?”

Xi Mubai nodded and looked at her calm smile, feeling a little stunned.

A month ago, he would have never expected Luo Zheng to become his female partner for the banquet.

After a while, he recovered from the shock and said, “I drove here myself, so it’s better for me to abstain from drinking.”

Luo Zheng’s eyes lit up and she asked softly, “How can you not drink any wine at a banquet? Senior Mubai, are you just looking for an excuse?”

“No… ”

Xi Mubai was about to deny but Luo Zheng pressed the gla.s.s against his lips and interjected, “Or, do you want me to… feed you, Senior Mubai?”

She had charming features and a bright and alluring smile. She looked completely different from her past self who would put on heavy makeup all the time!

Xi Mubai felt uneasy somehow. Not wanting her to feed him, he grabbed the gla.s.s of wine and said, “Luo Zheng, don’t be like this… ”

“Don’t be like what? Senior Mubai, why don’t I get what you’re saying… ” Luo Zheng tilted her head, pretending to be innocent and harmless.

Xi Mubai was shocked speechless.

“Senior Mubai, do you hate me to the extent that… you refuse to drink the wine I offer you!?! If that’s the case, why did you ask me to be your partner for tonight?”
