Chapter 1585

At this, Shangguan Wan'er downed the strong liquor in her cup in one gulp. Her snow-white neck traced a graceful arc in the air, and her fair, cold, jade-like face was instantly flushed with a rosy glow, her long eyelashes fluttering.

"Lord Gao, tell me from the bottom of your heart, do not lie to me—is this journey… very dangerous?" Shangguan Wan'er asked.

Those watery, beautiful eyes stared straight at Gao Yang.

This time, Gao Yang did not hide it; he nodded directly.

"Yes."

"This journey… is very dangerous."

When Shangguan Wan'er heard Gao Yang's answer, she suddenly smiled. This smile was like a red plum blossom blooming in the cold night—cold, elegant, and moving.

Shangguan Wan'er tilted her head slightly, and the soft candlelight fell perfectly upon her face, outlining her exquisite features.

Shangguan Wan'er reached out a jade hand and placed it gently on Gao Yang's right cheek.

Their gazes met in the air, staring straight at each other. At such close range, Gao Yang could even smell the faint fragrance in Shangguan Wan'er's hair.

Thump-thump!

Even for Gao Yang, his heart felt a slight wave of heat, and his heartbeat accelerated uncontrollably.

Damn it!

Tonight, I fear my innocence will not be preserved!

Moreover, at this distance, in this atmosphere, with the mood so perfectly set, if he did nothing, he would be unworthy of being a man.

Furthermore, Shangguan Wan'er had already taken the initiative; as a man, was he supposed to wait for her to kiss him first?

Gao Yang made up his mind.

He leaned forward slightly, eyes narrowed, and kissed toward Shangguan Wan'er.

The next second.

Shangguan Wan'er's hand slid away, and she slumped onto the table, her cold face extremely flushed.

Gao Yang was suddenly stunned.

He looked at Shangguan Wan'er, who was clearly drunk, and couldn't help but call out twice.

"Wan'er?"

"Wan'er?"

Shangguan Wan'er did not move.

Gao Yang reached out to touch her and felt that Shangguan Wan'er's cheeks were burning hot.

"Hiss!"

"What happened to 'a thousand cups without getting drunk'?"

"What happened to that amazing alcohol tolerance? How did you pass out after one cup?"

Gao Yang stared at Shangguan Wan'er, who was sleeping soundly, and muttered to himself.

Yet, his eyes were also extremely complex.

"Silly girl, what virtue or ability do I, Gao Yang, possess?"

Gao Yang muttered to himself, as if wanting to carve this scene deep into his bones.

Afterward, he scooped up Shangguan Wan'er and placed her on the bed.

"This affection, how could I, Gao Yang, fail it? I shall sit by her side, unmoved, until dawn."

Gao Yang took a deep breath, made his decision, and was about to walk away.

But as his peripheral vision swept over her, his feet felt as if they were filled with lead.

The cold, elegant face, the luscious red lips, and the slender, graceful body in a green dress.

Gao Yang took another deep breath and sighed.

"Wan'er, you have truly made me suffer!"

Should he be a beast, or worse than a beast? ===== CHAPTER 1587 =====
