Night Fire Lingering

"Brother Ci?"

"You guys play, but the bill will be in my name."

Before he finished speaking, Gu Yanci had already carried Wen Yan out of the private room with one arm.

The man wore a shirt with the sleeves rolled up, revealing strong, muscular muscles that clung tightly to the woman's slender body, creating a striking visual impact.

"Why do I feel like Brother Ci is very indulgent towards Wen Yan? Is it just my imagination?"

"What's wrong with Ci-ge? He shouldn't have gotten hard just from Wen Yan's teasing, right?"

"Definitely not. Our private room has a restroom, so why would we go outside if we really wanted to?"

……

The McLaren's doors were opened.

Wen Yan was practically thrown in.

The next moment, the man squeezed in, the seat back was reclined, and the door closed with a click.

Before Wen Yan could react, a barrage of kisses rained down on her.

It landed on my lips, neck, and collarbone...

Further down...

The man had been drinking, and his body temperature was burning hot, causing Wen Yan to tremble.

The man's burning hands tore her skirt apart, his movements hurried and somewhat rough.

"Gu Yanci!"

Gu Yanci looked up and met the woman's watery almond eyes. Her eyelashes trembled slightly, as if tears would roll out of her eyes at any moment, making her look pitiful.

He braced himself against the back of the chair behind her with one hand, and placed one knee between her legs.

"You don't want to?" Gu Yanci stroked Wen Yan's face with his other hand. "Wen Zhizhi, weren't you the one who seduced me just now?"

The word 'seduction' embarrassed Wen Yan.

Recalling what had happened in the private room, Wen Yan felt even more embarrassed.

"No...it's not that I didn't want to." She took a shallow breath, suppressing her grievances, and changed the subject, "You ruined my dress."

She emphasized, "It's new!"

"Didn't I buy you enough new dresses?" Gu Yanci laughed in exasperation.

The Longyu Bay villa has two walk-in closets specifically for her to store her dresses.

"Hmph." Wen Yan turned her face away, waiting for him to make another move.

However, after a long while, the man remained motionless.

The car was so quiet that only the sound of breathing could be heard.

Wen Yan turned to look at the man with suspicion.

The man supported himself above her, their lower limbs pressed tightly together, and she could feel his hardness and heat.

However, the desire and eagerness in the man's eyes had dissipated considerably.

Gu Yanci stroked her face, exposing her childish scheming: "Wen Yan, do you think that as long as I take you tonight, I will help you save Wen Junming?"

"Gu Yanci..."

Wen Yan's expression instantly turned ugly.

That was exactly what she intended.

Although Gu Yanci is despicable, he is not a villain. As long as they have sex tonight, the deal will be done.

Wen Yan opened her mouth, but couldn't refute it at all.

"Young lady, if you're going to scheme against someone, you have to be willing to go all out. You can't have your cake and eat it too." Gu Yanci fastened his belt again.

Seeing that he was about to leave, Wen Yan grabbed his wrist and said urgently:

"Gu Yanci, if Wen Muzhi came to ask you for help today, would you have agreed without even blinking?"

Gu Yanci felt that his wife still didn't understand the situation.

“Wen Yan, if you were willing to continue being a dutiful Mrs. Gu, Wen Jun would have gone home long ago.”

-

Since Gu Yanci's approach was unsuccessful, Wen Yan decided to turn to the Zheng family again.

To her surprise, before she even left the house the next morning, she received a call from the detention center asking her to come and pick up her.

The boy was taken out by the police officer.

The eighteen-year-old boy was very tall, with a temperament that was a mix of boy and young man. He had handsome features, but his messy blond hair and stubble beard, his swaggering walk, and his haughty attitude made him look down on people. He was definitely not someone to be messed up with!

"Why did you suddenly agree to let you go?" Wen Yan asked Wen Junming in surprise.

"The Zheng family isn't going to sue anymore."

The Zheng family's sudden withdrawal of the lawsuit could only be at Gu Yanci's behest.

Why didn't he say so last night?

And...and I got slapped by her for no reason.

Wen Yan couldn't understand it, and she also felt guilty after hitting someone.

Wen Junming saw Wen Yan's Mercedes-Benz G-Class not far away and excitedly reached out to her: "Give me the keys, I want to drive it!"

"I think you want a beating!"

Wen Yan slapped him hard across the palm. "Driving without a license is punishable by up to fifteen days of detention. Have you become addicted to the food in the detention center?"

Wen Junming felt embarrassed and didn't dare to speak.

Everyone in the Wen family dotes on him and indulges him, except for Wen Yan!

She really would beat him like the older sister beats her younger brother on the internet!

"Wen Junming, you are already eighteen years old. Our country's criminal law treats you the same as everyone else. I hope you will think about the consequences before you act impulsively next time. Also, you and the girl that Young Master Zheng likes are already engaged."

Wen Junming pouted and muttered in dissatisfaction, "I beat up that guy surnamed Zheng, not because of that woman."

"Oh? Who is that for?" Just then, the traffic light turned red, and Wen Yan glanced at the person in the passenger seat.

Wen Junming looked at her hesitantly, then his mind raced: "None of your business!"

Those brats are as infuriating as ever!

-

When Wen Yan and Wen Junming entered the room, the atmosphere in the living room was unusually heavy.

Wen Yonghai, the father, sat on the sofa, smoking with a worried expression. There were nearly ten cigarette butts in the ashtray in front of him.

Madam Wen, Wan Ying, is nearly fifty years old, but she is very well-maintained and looks less than forty. These days, she has been worrying herself sick over her beloved son and looks extremely haggard.

Wen Muzhi sat beside Wan Ying, constantly comforting her.

"Dad, Mom," Wen Junming called out.

The Wen family of three were taken aback. Wen Yonghai and Wan Ying were the first to come over with surprise and concern, showing their deep affection and concern.

Wen Muzhi stood a few steps away, appearing alone at this moment, just like Wen Yan.

“Yan Yan, you said before that you couldn’t do anything about Junming, but you still managed to do it, didn’t you?” Wen Muzhi suddenly said.

Wan Ying's face turned cold: "In the end, Yan Yan didn't take it seriously before, causing Junming to suffer for more than half a month inside!"

"Wen Yan, Junming is your own brother!" Wen Yonghai's words were loaded with meaning, containing a hint of reproach.

“Dad, you know my relationship with Gu Yanci. It’s not as good as my sister’s. If my sister had asked Gu Yanci for help from the beginning, Junming might have come back long ago.” Wen Yan deftly shifted the blame back to Wen Muzhi.

Wen Yonghai looked at Wen Muzhi with suspicion.

Before he could ask, Wan Ying quickly said, "Yonghai, Aci is Yan Yan's husband. What kind of behavior is it for Mu Zhi to go and beg?"

She would never want her own daughter to be subservient!

Wen Yan raised an eyebrow in surprise: "Auntie, so you also know that Gu Yanci is my husband? Then why does my sister call my husband all the time? No wonder my husband and I have been married for three years, but our relationship is not as close as yours."

"Muzhi, is that so?" Wen Yonghai's icy gaze was already fixed on Wen Muzhi.

He attached great importance to Wen Yan and Gu Yanci's marriage and would not allow anyone to interfere, after all, Gu Yanci was a golden bachelor who was one in a million!

"Dad, I didn't... I just injured my hand. You know, the medical team is all Ci Ge's people, so I had to tell him." Wen Muzhi clenched his fingers in alarm.

Has Wen Yan gone mad? She's saying all sorts of things so bluntly!

Wen Yonghai gave Wen Muzhi a look that said, "You better be."

Wen Muzhi turned his gaze and met Wen Yan's eyes.

Wen Yan's smile was polite and elegant, but upon closer inspection, her eyes were full of mockery.

"Dad, the fact that Junming's matter was resolved is largely thanks to Grandma Gu. It was she who stepped in and mediated." Wen Yan began the main event of the day.

Grandma Gu is Gu Yanci's grandmother, the matriarch of the Gu family.

"Grandma Gu went to great lengths for Junming. Her birthday is next month. My mother had a jade beaded necklace, and I would like to give it to her as a token of our Wen family's gratitude."

"it is good!"

Wen Yonghai was very pleased to have won over Madam Gu and ordered a servant to retrieve the jade beaded string from the collection room.

Upon hearing this, Wan Ying and Wen Muzhi's expressions immediately changed.

A moment later, the maid returned in a panic, saying, "Sir, we didn't see the jade bead string in the collection room!"
