Chapter 1745

The wine, laboriously sipped, dripped from those bright red lips, then slid down her fair and beautiful neck, either dampening her clothes, lingering on her exquisite collarbone, or sliding down into unknown depths.

Watching the shy, indignant, and pretty face of Ji Yaohua, whose eyes were brimming with tears, he smiled with a hint of teasing:

"This 'Ling Shuanghua Spring' is rare in the world; wouldn't it be a pity if Miss Ji didn't savor it properly?"

Ji Yaohua glared at Gu Hanyuan with indignant anger, feeling incomparably shy and resentful in her heart.

Yet, she had to admit that "Ling Shuanghua Spring" was indeed a top-tier fine wine.

Not only was it fragrant and delicious, but after drinking it, a gentle warmth rippled out from her heart.

Arriving along with the snowflakes was a sudden drop in temperature.

Ji Yaohua had a constitution prone to cold, and wearing a purple gauze dress that provided no warmth, it stood to reason that her limbs should be ice-cold right now.

Yet, at this moment, she could not feel even a hint of chill.

It was not just the warming effect brought by the "Ling Shuanghua Spring," but even more so because her whole body was enveloped in Gu Hanyuan's warm embrace.

If not for her heart resisting intimate contact with Gu Hanyuan, it was actually a wonderful experience.

At least in that instant, she felt the sense of security that comes from being cared for.

However, in the end, Gu Hanyuan ruined her experience, causing her to bite down with her pearly teeth in shame and anger, though unfortunately, Gu Hanyuan dodged it nimbly.

Ji Yaohua was so angry her teeth itched, unwilling to suffer a loss for nothing.

She suddenly smiled charmingly:

"Young Master Gu is right; this wine is indeed a peerless treasure of the world, and I would like to drink it again."

Upon hearing this, Gu Hanyuan smiled lightly:

"Of course, no problem."

Having said that, he refilled the empty wine cup.

Ji Yaohua was stunned; she did not believe Gu Hanyuan hadn't seen that she wanted to get back at him.

With her delicate brows slightly furrowed, she asked:

"Is Young Master Gu not afraid?"

Gu Hanyuan smiled indifferently:

"Compared to tasting the beauty of Miss Ji, what is this little risk?"

Looking at Gu Hanyuan's appearance of "dying under a peony flower, one is still a romantic ghost," Ji Yaohua was speechless in her heart.

Regaining her composure, she said gloomily:

"Young Master Gu is truly as romantic and sentimental as the rumors say, but does Young Master Gu not know that roses have thorns?"

Ji Yaohua was indeed fond of this flower that matched her so perfectly.

Gu Hanyuan was not surprised by this at all; after all, Ji Yaohua herself carried the fragrance of a black rose.

The flower language of the black rose: 1. Gentle sincerity; 2. Unique; 3. I am a devil, and I am possessed by you; 4. Loyalty, longing; 5. Loving you, willing to give everything for you.

Gu Hanyuan whispered with a light laugh:

"It is precisely because roses have thorns that they can brew such intoxicating fragrance."

Having said that, he drank the wine in the cup again and leaned close to Ji Yaohua.

This time, Ji Yaohua was mentally prepared.

She could have dodged, but for some reason, she did not.

Moreover, compared to before, Gu Hanyuan was much gentler this time.

This gentleness caused Ji Yaohua to fail to bite down ruthlessly at the first opportunity.

However, with this hesitation, she had no more chances.

Not long after, her eyes became blurred, and she couldn't help but close her beautiful eyes.

A pair of jade arms had wrapped around Gu Hanyuan's neck before she knew it.

The heavy snow covered the two of them in a snowy white coat.

The "Ling Shuanghua Spring" in the wine pot was already empty.

Ji Yaohua had unknowingly drunk most of it, and naturally, she was drunk.

Drinking spirit wine for the first time and consuming so much at once, she would naturally get drunk.

Gu Hanyuan carried Ji Yaohua into the guest room.

Watching her delicate brows tightly furrowed and her eyes tightly closed, her whole person seemed to be in a tense state.

Ji Yaohua couldn't even relax when she was asleep, which shows how tense her mental state was on a daily basis.

This tension was caused by the pressure accumulated over many years.

"Miss Ji, have a good sleep."

After saying this, Gu Hanyuan leaned down and left a kiss on her smooth forehead.

When he looked up, Ji Yaohua's expression visibly relaxed.

The "Soul-Shifting Technique" can be used for hypnosis, and it can also be used for sleep, and the effect was even better than imagined.

Gu Hanyuan, who had performed a small experiment, chuckled and left leisurely.

Ji Yaohua, in her deep sleep, suddenly muttered something, and a sweet smile hung on the corners of her mouth.

In the cold snowy night, it is indeed better to warm each other to sleep soundly.

Therefore, Gu Hanyuan went straight to the Cold Fragrance Pavilion.

The Cold Fragrance Pavilion, with many braziers, isolated the cold from the outside.

Lin Xianer, with her beautiful face, danced gracefully in a thin gauze dress that served no practical purpose.

Gu Hanyuan leaned against the head of the bed with a lazy expression, admiring her.

His hand stroked Lin Lingling's hair as if petting a large cat.

Black and red slid before his eyes from time to time, creating an interesting contrast.

Lin Lingling's docility and obedience also made one feel happy.

Gu Hanyuan patted Lin Lingling's head and said with a light laugh:

"That's about enough."

Upon hearing this, Lin Lingling raised her head with some regret, her clear eyes shining, and she stood aside obediently.

Lin Xianer, however, looked happy and stopped her dance.

She walked quickly to Gu Hanyuan's side and lay in his arms with extreme docility.

She smiled charmingly:

"Young Master, are you satisfied with Xian'er's dance?"

"Satisfied."

Gu Hanyuan spat out two words lightly.

Lin Xianer's smile became even more charming.

"Then, Young Master, are you satisfied with the things Xian'er did?"

"Satisfied."

Although there were some flaws, Gu Hanyuan did not care.

Lin Xianer's autumn-like eyes shone brightly, and she asked coquettishly:

"Then, Young Master, can you agree to what Xian'er requested?"

"Naturally."

Gu Hanyuan smiled slightly, his answer still concise and to the point.

Upon hearing this, Lin Xianer asked with some trepidation:

"Young Master, you won't put me off like before, will you?"

Gu Hanyuan teased:

"Does Xian'er not like it?"

Lin Xianer's pretty face turned red with shame, but her expression and tone were exceptionally serious.

"It's not that Xian'er doesn't like it, it's just that Xian'er wants more, wants to become Young Master's woman completely."

Gu Hanyuan laughed in spite of himself:

"Xian'er is still so greedy."

Lin Xianer blinked her beautiful eyes and acted coquettishly:

"Does Young Master not like Xian'er's greed?"

Long Xiaoyun learned knowledge from Lin Xianer and sold out Lin Shiyin.
