Chapter 183: Chapter 183: The Girl Who Kissed Him in Public

Onlookers couldn’t help but silently give Ye Shu their approval.

The reporters even scrambled to focus their cameras on Ye Shu’s face, which had no bad angle even at 360 degrees.

The atmosphere at the scene surged to an unprecedented high.

Bai Yueru smiled and nodded, her gaze tenderly fixed on the small woman cradled in her son’s arms.

This girl named Ye Shu, no wonder she caught Shaochen’s eye—she not only understood the bigger picture but was also smart and quick-witted, articulate, an excellent choice for a wealthy family’s daughter-in-law.

Just the suggestion to have Ye Xinyu apologize alone was enough to showcase Ye Shu’s emotional and intellectual intelligence.

She managed to save face for her future mother-in-law, suppress Shaochen’s temper, and deliver a small punishment to Ye Xinyu, all while leaving the Gu Family a way out, preserving the relationship between the two families. It could be said she covered all bases.

At this moment, Bai Yueru grew fonder of Ye Shu, her prospective daughter-in-law.

Bai Xue looked visibly upset but was forced to put on a smile to help Ye Xinyu save face, as Ye Xinyu was now part of the Gu Family, and her face represented the Gu Family’s dignity.

“Yes, yes, that’s right, that’s how it should be, Xinyu, you should listen to your cousin’s advice. Knowing your mistake and correcting it is commendable.”

“Indeed, indeed, Xinyu, quickly thank your cousin for her guidance, and in the future, be more discerning about your friends, keeping away from bad influences and learning more from your cousin,” Ye Shengli also hurriedly nudged Ye Xinyu, speaking with a smile on his face.

Ye Xinyu’s face turned the color of liver under the flashing lights, and through gritted teeth, she squeezed out a smile uglier than crying, “Cousin’s lesson is well noted, I’ll definitely be more careful in the future…”

“That’s the way to do it.” Ye Shengli shamelessly picked up a glass of wine from a tray held by a server and raised it, “Mrs. Sheng, Mr. Sheng, Shushu, and everyone, my young daughter has been ignorant and has caused you all displeasure today. I will punish myself with three drinks right here.”

Having said that, he downed the drink in one gulp and then hooked over two more glasses of wine, finishing them off as well.

Then, with a thick face, Ye Shengli smiled at everyone, “Come, come, please take your seats, please take your seats, enjoy the food and drinks…”

“Sister, come on, take your seat, take your seat… It’s been so long since we sisters have had a chat,” Bai Xue also smiled, escorting Bai Yueru to their seats, then gently pushed Gu Zuocheng, signaling him to invite Young Master Sheng to his seat.

Gu Zuocheng’s expression stayed dark throughout, and under the urging look from Bai Xue, he approached Sheng Shaochen, looked up, and with a touch of sadness in his eyes, gazed at Ye Shu.

“Cousin… Shushu, please take your seat.”

Sheng Shaochen looked up indifferently, glancing at Gu Zuocheng with a hint of displeasure.

Ye Shu quickly grasped Sheng Shaochen’s hidden meaning, smiled faintly, and snuggled up to Sheng Shaochen’s sturdy waist, saying with an air of nonchalance to Gu Zuocheng, “Gu Zuocheng, shouldn’t you be calling me ‘cousin-in-law’ instead?”

“…” Gu Zuocheng’s face turned pale, his expression even more desolate as he lowered his head.

After a moment of internal struggle, he slowly looked up with a pale face at them, “Cousin, cousin-in-law, please take your seats.”

“Thank you.” Ye Shu gave a polite smile, withdrew her gaze, and looked up at Sheng Shaochen, her bright eyes seemingly saying—Dear Mr. Sheng, are you satisfied with this?

In Sheng Shaochen’s eyes, which were deep with understanding, a gentle fondness thickened. He bowed his head and, in front of Gu Zuocheng, deeply kissed her.

Gu Zuocheng stood stiff, the sorrow in his eyes growing like a black hole, endlessly expanding.

Ye Shu blushed with shyness from being kissed publicly by Young Master Sheng.

Yet she dared not push him away, for fear that this jealous man might mistakenly think she still harbored feelings for Gu Zuocheng.

She could only let him kiss her deeply.
