Chapter 919

"Young Master Gu, you have clearly never seen my true face, so why do you always praise my beauty?"

Gu Hanyuan smiled lightly with a tone of taking it for granted:

"With Miss Zhen's beautiful eyes and figure, if you weren't beautiful, wouldn't that be against the laws of heaven?"

Zhen Sushan smiled even more charmingly upon hearing this,

and said with eyes that seemed to be filled with affection:

"Young Master Gu certainly knows how to please women; no wonder you have countless confidantes."

Gu Hanyuan smiled teasingly upon hearing this:

"Is Miss Zhen interested in becoming one of them?"

Seeing this, Zhen Sushan stepped on the brakes...

and said with a slightly troubled expression:

"Young Master Gu is joking. I already have a fiancé."

However, Gu Hanyuan did not continue to ask about her words,

but said with a hint of regret:

"That is truly a pity."

Zhen Sushan was somewhat surprised that Gu Hanyuan stopped talking about romance after saying this,

and instead began to ask about the geography and culture of the Western Regions.

This unexpected development made Zhen Sushan immediately vigilant.

Taking the opportunity of offering a toast,

she kept probing Gu Hanyuan's level of understanding of the Western Regions.

As time passed,

Zhen Sushan gained a new understanding of Gu Hanyuan's extensive knowledge.

Although there were occasional deviations,

generally speaking, it was not far off,

making one suspect whether Gu Hanyuan had ever been to the Western Regions.

In order to fish for information,

Zhen Sushan drank quite a bit of wine without realizing it.

Grape wine had a strong aftereffect,

and by now, she already felt the drunkenness.

Yet Gu Hanyuan seemed as if nothing were the matter,

with a faint smile still hanging on the corners of his mouth.

Zhen Sushan felt slightly discouraged.

Although there were some deviations from what she had planned,

she still decided to get straight to the point,

and asked deliberately with bashfulness:

"Young Master Gu, aren't you curious about what I want to discuss?"

Gu Hanyuan smiled playfully:

"Miss Zhen, you are nothing more than asking for a favor. It's just that your sincerity seems slightly insufficient."

A flash of realization crossed Zhen Sushan's eyes.

She hesitated for an instant,

then raised her slender, jade-like hand to slowly remove her veil,

revealing an exquisite face that was pleasing in every way.

Because she was slightly tipsy,

that face, which had originally been somewhat pale, was flushed with color,

appearing stunningly charming.

Zhen Sushan asked with a slight pout:

"Is this level of sincerity enough?"

Seeing that this duel of beauty traps had reached a white-hot stage,

Gu Hanyuan smiled playfully:

"Still a bit short."

He reached out and gripped the air,

and the "Dragon-Capturing Skill" pulled Zhen Sushan straight into his embrace.

Immediately, he was filled with warmth and fragrance.

Gu Hanyuan reached out to wrap his arms around her waist,

leaned into her ear, and chuckled softly:

"This is just about right."

Zhen Sushan's expression sank.

She hadn't expected Gu Hanyuan to suddenly make a move,

and she had absolutely no power to resist in Gu Hanyuan's hands.

Feeling the faint heat,

she felt something was very wrong and said in a deep voice:

"Does Young Master Gu know what he is doing?"

Gu Hanyuan remained unmoved and said indifferently:

"What Miss Zhen is asking for is no small matter. If we don't talk like this, I will feel a bit shortchanged."
