Chapter 1587: Hugging Her From Behind
Huangfu Xuan’s facial features were not as deep and exquisite as Ye Qing’s, but when combined together, it made people feel comfortable and masculine.
He was tall and muscular, and was the type that was especially masculine!
Unlike Ye Qing, who looked more abstinent, calm, and indifferent.
Huangfu Xuan saw Ye Qing, who had appeared behind Gu Meng. He was in the army all year round and did not know about the popular movie a while back, nor did he know about the relationship between Gu Meng and Ye Qing.
Huangfu Xuan took the initiative to greet Ye Qing. “Your Highness, did you come out to see the night scenery?”
Ye Qing shook Huangfu Xuan’s hand with an indifferent expression. After responding, he walked to a corner of the balcony.
He had no intention of talking to Gu Meng.
Huangfu Xuan originally thought that Ye Qing was interested in Princess Meng, but it seemed like he was thinking too much.
Huangfu Xuan was a person with well-developed limbs, but his mind was relatively simple.
He did not see the invisible tension between Ye Qing and Gu Meng and thought that Gu Meng was really single as his grandfather had said.
Standing on the other side of the balcony with Gu Meng, he beckoned for a waiter and brought two glasses of champagne, passing one to Gu Meng.
“Princess Meng, I heard that you’re a jewelry designer? Can I have the honor of asking you to design a set for my mother’s birthday in a few months?”
Gu Meng nodded with a smile. “Sure, I’ll give Major Huangfu a discount then.”
Huangfu Xuan raised his glass and clinked it with Gu Meng’s. “Deal.”
“Does Princess Meng like to take risks? If you’re brave, I can take you parachuting when I have a break and teach you how to fly a plane.”
Gu Meng looked at the tall, strong and stylish man in front of her. He did not seem to beat around the bush. If he was interested, he would say it directly, wanting to fight for more opportunities to interact with her.
Gu Meng liked this kind of personality. She turned back to look at the man in the other corner. His tall and cold body was leaning against the railing, the light yellow liquid in the crystal glass swaying in his hand. His dark eyes were looking into the distance, not looking in her direction.
Gu Meng looked at Huangfu Xuan, who was still waiting for her reply, a polite smile on her pretty face. “To be honest, I’m already the mother of a two-year-old child.”
Huangfu Xuan was slightly surprised.
After all, she looked like she was in her early twenties and was still a university student.
But after his surprise, Huangfu Xuan reacted very quickly. He laughed heartily and said, “Princess Meng is also a straightforward person. I like to make friends with such people. Even if we can’t be lovers, we can still be friends, right?”
“Of course.”
Ye Qing looked at the bustling night scenery of the city for a while before he downed the liquid in his glass. Turning back, he could not help looking at where Gu Meng and Huangfu Xuan were standing.
Seeing that the two of them were talking and laughing, even drinking a few glasses of wine, a trace of darkness flashed past his deep black eyes and his well-defined handsome face turned cold.
Gu Meng chatted with Huangfu Xuan for a while and when she looked back at Ye Qing, he had already left.
Gu Meng furrowed her eyebrows slightly. After talking to Huangfu Xuan, she returned to the banquet hall.
Almost all of the guests had spoken to her today, even the King and Queen Nan Zhi. Except for Ye Qing.
His expression was indifferent, as if he did not want to talk to her.
Had he gotten angry because she had refused to stay overnight at his palace?
Realizing that she was starting to care about his thoughts and feelings again, Gu Meng hurriedly shook off those thoughts. She was still angry at him. Why should she care too much about his thoughts?
If he ignored her, then he should continue doing so!
When Gu Meng returned to the banquet hall, several young men came over to give her a toast. Gu Meng had no choice but to entertain them and drink with them.
It didn’t feel like much while drinking the wine, but the after-effects were a little strong.
After several glasses, Gu Meng’s head started to spin.
Dai Xuan came to Gu Meng’s side and held her hand. “Xiaomeng, you’ve drunk a little too much. I’ll get Ling Hui to help you up to rest.”
“I can go up myself.” Gu Meng held onto Dai Xuan’s hand instead. “Mom, did my performance tonight embarrass you?”
Dai Xuan looked at her lovingly. “Silly child. Mom said that even if you can’t do it, it’s fine. No one will dare to say anything.”
“But I don’t want to embarrass Mom.”
“You’ve done very well tonight. Mom is very satisfied.”
Gu Meng smiled brightly at the praise she received. “Thank you, Mom. I will work harder in the future and not embarrass you.”
Hearing Gu Meng’s words, Dai Xuan’s heart ached for her even more. This child had suffered a lot since she was young. That was why she was so obedient and sensible in front of her mother.
Gu Meng was not completely drunk, but Dai Xuan did not feel at ease, so she asked Ling Hui to help Gu Meng back to her room.
Ling Hui helped Gu Meng to the bed and touched her red face. “I’ll bring a cup of tea. Otherwise, your head will hurt when you wake up tomorrow morning.”
“Sister Ling Hui, don’t trouble yourself.”
Ling Hui smiled and said, “It’s no trouble.”
After Ling Hui left the room, she went downstairs and brought a cup of tea over.
After feeding Gu Meng, Ling Hui closed the door and left.
Gu Meng closed her eyes and fell asleep. In her daze, she heard the doorbell ring.
She thought that Ling Hui had arrived and walked to the door barefooted, opening it.
A tall figure stood at the door, blocking most of the light in the corridor. Gu Meng looked up with her drunken stupor and stared at the man’s handsome face.
Her pink lips moved and she murmured unconsciously, “Brother Ah Dai?”
The man hummed coldly, his eyes fixated on her red face. “Did you drink too much?”
Gu Meng furrowed her eyebrows. “No. If I drank too much, I would not have been able to recognize you.”
Hearing her words, the man scoffed from the depths of his throat. “I thought that there were too many young men who liked you tonight and you forgot about me.”
Gu Meng’s watery eyes revealed a trace of coyness. “Even if I forget everyone, I can’t forget Brother Ah Dai.”
It seemed like she was really drunk.
If not, she would not have such a coy and coquettish expression when facing him.
Ye Qing looked at her, as if he had returned to the years when he had lost his memories in the fishing village.
Back then, she had still been a young girl. Every time she looked at him, she would have this expression.
It had been a long time since he saw her like this.
He missed her and longed for her.
“Brother Ah Dai, I feel like sleeping. Let’s talk tomorrow if there’s anything. I’m going to sleep first…” She said as she walked into the room. However, she had only taken a few steps when the man grabbed her slender waist from behind. Her entire body was lifted up by one of his arms.
“What are you doing?”
He laughed softly, his firm chest pressing against her slender back. His scorching hot lips moved to her fair ear and he said, “You.”
“What?”
“Didn’t you ask me what I’m doing? I said, you.”
