The Moon Shines on Me (GL) - Chapter 35

“That’s great, Riyue has finally gone bankrupt and liquidated.”

In the original artist’s office, Lu Qingwan held her phone and frantically scrolled through the headlines. When she saw the lines declaring Riyue’s bankruptcy, she excitedly handed the phone to Shen Yuan.

Shen Yuan raised her eyelids, looking at the screen Lu Qingwan offered with no particular expression.

“Faster than I expected,” Shen Yuan said.

Xie Tingxin and Gu Shiwei had been fighting commercially for a year, and Shen Yuan had expected them to continue their battle into the next year. Unexpectedly, Xie Tingxin’s forces had recently begun to withdraw from Jinghai.

According to Shen Yuan’s understanding, besides Gu Shiwei, there was another person who was also confronting Xie Tingxin.

That person’s surname was Jiang.

It was unclear how Xie Tingxin had made an enemy of this person named Jiang. Half a month ago, under the combined attack of Gu Shiwei and the Jiang family, Mingyue Group suffered a heavy blow. Xie Tingxin, as the CEO, was even jointly dismissed by the board of directors.

Since then, Xie Tingxin had never appeared again, as if she had vanished into thin air.

.

After work, Shen Yuan and Gu Shiwei headed to Lin Qinghuan’s birthday party.

The party was still at a glamorous, extravagant bar. This time, Lin Qinghuan also brought her girlfriend—Fu Yao.

Yes, that’s right, Lin Qinghuan’s secret crush had come true. After their first meeting in real life, they had broken the barrier between them, and their relationship progressed rapidly and became uncontrollable. Now, they were inseparable.

“Oh, you two, you’re finally here.” Lin Qinghuan handed Gu Shiwei a cocktail, then turned to Shen Yuan: “Still grape juice?”

Shen Yuan smiled slightly: “Mhm, happy birthday.”

“It’s fine to just show up, why bring a gift?” Lin Qinghuan happily accepted the beautifully wrapped bag from Shen Yuan.

“Yuanyuan, you’re finally here.”

As soon as Shen Yuan sat down, Fu Yao hugged her arm and leaned against her.

In an instant, two bright, unblinking gazes simultaneously fell onto the top of Fu Yao’s head.

Fu Yao instinctively sat up straight, even withdrawing the arm that was wrapped around Shen Yuan.

Fu Yao: “…”

Two jealous tyrants.

Gu Shiwei sat next to Shen Yuan, wrapping one arm around her shoulder and subtly pulling her closer to herself.

Shen Yuan calmly nestled in Gu Shiwei’s arms.

This was a completely different picture from a year ago. Everyone in the room clicked their tongues in wonder. The last time Lin Qinghuan celebrated her birthday, these two looked barely familiar. Who would have thought that in such a short time, Gu Shiwei had already won the beauty’s heart?

In their memory, Shen Yuan was a very cold person, and most importantly, Shen Yuan had clearly stated before that she was straight!

The way everyone looked at Gu Shiwei became subtle.

As expected of Miss Gu, she possessed the damned charm that even a straight woman couldn’t resist.

.

“My dear Miss, why didn’t you tell me that Shen Yuan was your master in the game?” Lin Qinghuan walked over with a drink, complaining: “If I had known earlier, I wouldn’t have been so terrified for so long.”

After Gu Shiwei and Shen Yuan got married, Lin Qinghuan was so afraid of running into Mingyue in A Sword’s Query that she didn’t even dare to log into the game.

These two were too much! They had secretly recognized each other behind her back! If Lin Qinghuan hadn’t secretly logged in a few days ago to transfer the fashion items for her ‘Big Truck’ account and accidentally discovered that the two of them were bonded in the game, she might still be in the dark now.

Gu Shiwei said flatly: “I forgot.”

Lin Qinghuan: “…”

Bullshit. She clearly just forgot about her.

Lin Qinghuan covered her wounded heart, took a big gulp of wine, and then buried herself in Fu Yao’s arms for comfort.

Not many people came tonight, all of whom were mutual friends of Lin Qinghuan and Gu Shiwei. As a few rounds of games began, the private room gradually livened up.

Singing, card games, and guessing games gradually pushed the atmosphere to a climax.

After a whole evening, everyone in attendance, except for Shen Yuan, who couldn’t handle any alcohol, had drunk a fair amount.

On the way home, Shen Yuan was driving, and Gu Shiwei was in the passenger seat, her eyes sparkling.

“Yuanyuan, no one will ever bother you again,” Gu Shiwei said.

Shen Yuan glanced in the rearview mirror: “Huh?”

“That Miss Jiang was actually a stand-in Xie Tingxin found, but later she learned of your existence, so she came to me.” Gu Shiwei didn’t tell Shen Yuan about her collaboration with Miss Jiang to bring down Xie Tingxin, only saying: “Don’t worry, she’s completely incapable of making a comeback.”

Shen Yuan: “I see…”

Shen Yuan hadn’t expected this result.

Xie Tingxin was reaping what she sowed.

.

At Yunjin Manor.

Shen Yuan settled the drunk Gu Shiwei on the sofa, then went to the kitchen to make a cup of honey water and handed it to her.

“Drink this.”

Gu Shiwei obediently drank a few sips from Shen Yuan’s hand.

“Thank you, wifey.”

Shen Yuan: “.”

Shen Yuan’s ears felt a bit warm. She bent down to place the cup on the coffee table beside the sofa. Just as she was about to get up, Gu Shiwei pulled her wrist down.

Shen Yuan was pressed onto Gu Shiwei’s lap. Gu Shiwei held her waist and looked up to kiss her.

Gu Shiwei’s mouth was full of the sweet taste of honey water. She kissed urgently, and for a moment, she didn’t control her strength, and a sharp tooth accidentally nicked Shen Yuan’s lip.

Shen Yuan let out a short ‘hiss.’

“What’s wrong? Where does it hurt?” Gu Shiwei’s eyes instantly cleared up.

“It’s nothing,” Shen Yuan said, then pulled on Gu Shiwei’s collar and leaned in to kiss her again.

Shen Yuan knew that because of Xie Tingxin’s presence before, even though they were married, Gu Shiwei still felt very insecure.

But now, Xie Tingxin had vanished from their world, and the anxiety in Gu Shiwei’s heart was finally relieved.

That’s why she drank so much tonight.

Shen Yuan comforted her enough before letting go.

“Where did I hurt you? Let me see.”

Gu Shiwei immediately pinched Shen Yuan’s chin and turned up her lower lip to check several times.

“It’s a little swollen. Does it still hurt?”

Shen Yuan shook her head: “It doesn’t hurt anymore.”

“I’m sorry, I’ll be gentler next time.”

“Okay.”

“Want to watch a movie?” Shen Yuan asked, opening the projector.

Gu Shiwei nodded: “Watch.”

Shen Yuan chose Portrait of a Lady on Fire, but she couldn’t watch past the halfway mark. She glanced down at Gu Shiwei’s restless hand and pressed pause.

“Do you want to take a bath?” Shen Yuan asked expressionlessly.

Gu Shiwei nodded: “Bath.”

She was definitely drunk. She nodded no matter what Shen Yuan said.

And still getting handsy when drunk.

Shen Yuan personally supervised Gu Shiwei as she finished her bath, then coaxed her to sleep before returning to the living room to finish the rest of the movie.

When she returned to the room, Gu Shiwei was already fast asleep. Shen Yuan carefully lifted the covers and slipped in. The next second, a warm body pressed against her.

Even in her sleep, Gu Shiwei habitually hugged Shen Yuan’s waist and buried her face in the crook of her neck.

Shen Yuan affectionately ran her hand through Gu Shiwei’s hair, then gave a very soft laugh.

All the suffering had passed. She had welcomed a rebirth.
