Against the Light - Chapter 133
Chapter 133: Drunk, Drunk
December 12th, 13:14.
After nearly half a month of silence, Heart Entertainment's official Weibo account posted an update, and the content immediately blew up the platform!
【Congratulations to the boss and the boss's wife on your marriage~ Wishing you happiness [Heart]】
Below the text were two photos.
The first photo showed their two hands, pinkies linked, thumbs touching. Their fair, slender fingers were a feast for the eyes.
The second photo was of two little red books, with the three gilded characters for 'Marriage Certificate' standing out conspicuously!
The moment the post went up, the comments section was flooded, a solid wall of 【Ahhhhhh】
【Ahhhhhh my two wives got remarried! They got remarried, ahhh!!!】
【Ahhh, I've waited so long for this day. I believe in love again.】
【My life is complete, wuwuwu. Wives, you must be happy!】
【December 12th, 13:14, the symbolism is amazing! It means 'want love, want love, for a lifetime'!】
【Lemons on the lemon tree, and under the tree, there's only me [Tears]】
【Me too [Crying]】
【Wishing you happiness, ahhh! You must be happy!!】
【Mission 'Urge Marriage' is a success. Next up is 'Urge Babies' [Pushes up glasses]】
【Haha, the one urging for babies, are you the devil?】
【Urge Babies +1. Time to get Gu-de-Bai on the schedule!】
【I'm so down for Gu-de-Bai!!】
Qu Qi was casually scrolling through the comments. Seeing the netizens wracking their brains to come up with names for Xinran's child, she couldn't help but laugh.
"Those two really haven't had it easy. On again, off again, but they've finally reached their happy ending," Qu Qi sighed with emotion.
"Yeah," Fang Jinghai agreed, also filled with emotion. Who would have thought that two years ago, when she first met Xinran, she was just an unremarkable little camerawoman?
"Hey, where did Sister Ran and the others run off to? I've got a pile of scripts here. A few famous directors have specifically asked for Sister Ran for their films."
"They went on their honeymoon. I'm starting to think you're more of a slave driver than I am. They just got their certificate, and you're already thinking about putting her to work."
"I am not!" Fang Jinghai protested, then smiled sheepishly after she said it. Okay, maybe she was a bit of a slave driver~
"Hey, Sister Qi, how can you be so relaxed about them going off on their own? I'm still shaken up from the last time Teacher Bai got hurt."
Qu Qi glanced at her. They were surrounded by the world's best security system; it wasn't her place to worry!
Three days later.
In the coastal city of Jiujiang, thousands of miles away, inside a luxurious villa facing the sea.
Gu Xinran was lying on a lounge chair by the pool, eyes half-closed as she sunbathed.
A gentle breeze drifted by, carrying the warm, humid air—it was utterly blissful.
The sound of a sliding door came from behind her. Gu Xinran's eyelids twitched, and the corners of her lips curved up.
Bai Yilan, wearing a pair of ridiculously large sunglasses that covered half her face, was also in a bikini. A bath towel was wrapped around her upper body, leaving her long, fair legs exposed to the air. With her long, damp hair draped over her back, she walked over barefoot. She glanced at Gu Xinran's face, saw that the woman was pretending to be asleep, and sat down beside her. She lightly traced a finger along the outside of Gu Xinran's exposed thigh.
"Boss, do you require any service?" Her soft voice was practically a caress to Gu Xinran's heart.
Gu Xinran suppressed a smile and lazily opened her eyes, squinting at her. "Help me put on some sunscreen."
"Alrighty~" Bai Yilan replied. She picked up the sunscreen from the small table nearby, squeezed some onto her hand, and began rubbing it onto her.
Her fingertips slid lightly over Gu Xinran's skin as if by magic, making Gu Xinran itch with anticipation. And to be mischievous, she deliberately poked at Xinran's ticklish spots.
"Hey!" Gu Xinran jolted at the poke. "Okay, okay, that's enough."
"That won't do~"
Bai Yilan shot her a sidelong glance, a mischievous smile playing on her lips. She lifted Gu Xinran's leg and began applying sunscreen to the back of her knee and her inner thigh.
"Hey, the sun doesn't shine there, does it?" Gu Xinran suddenly twisted away, overwhelmed by the ticklish sensation, and grabbed both of Bai Yilan's wrists, begging for mercy.
"Boss, I'm a professional service provider. Please don't get handsy. My wife is very fierce, you know."
"..."
"? Your wife is fierce? Can she be fiercer than me? Well, today I'm going to get handsy." Gu Xinran moved like lightning, wrapping an arm around Yilan's waist. She sat up, pulling Bai Yilan into her lap, and gave her ear a fierce but gentle bite.
"You're awful~" Bai Yilan chided softly, giving her a light punch.
"Alright, I'm done with you. I'm going for a swim," Bai Yilan said, straightening up. She pushed Gu Xinran down onto her stomach to apply sunscreen to her back. Her fingers suddenly paused, gently tracing the scar there.
"Can you remember how you got this?" Bai Yilan's playful expression vanished.
Gu Xinran thought for a moment, then shook her head. "I can't remember. I only have fragmented memories from my childhood. Maybe I'd need to see something familiar to remember it all. Why the sudden question?"
Bai Yilan didn't say anything.
"Hm?" Gu Xinran turned to look at her and noticed the complex emotion in her eyes.
"What's wrong?"
"I can't really explain why, but every time I see this scar of yours, my heart feels a little flustered."
"Flustered?"
"Mhm."
Gu Xinran chuckled and ruffled her hair. "Then don't look at it. It's okay. It's all in the past, nothing to worry about. Weren't you going for a swim? Go on."
Gu Xinran pulled her up, placed her hands on her shoulders, and nudged her toward the edge of the pool. She watched as Bai Yilan dove in like a mermaid, swimming freely in the water.
A short while later, Bai Yilan surfaced, swam to the edge, and rested her hands on the poolside, beckoning to Gu Xinran with a crooked finger.
Gu Xinran crouched down and wiped the water from her face. Caught off guard, she felt an arm wrap around her neck, and the next second, she was pulled into the water.
As the sky gradually darkened and the pool water grew cooler, Gu Xinran pulled Yilan out. They each took a hot shower in separate bathrooms, then threw on some clothes and went up to the second-floor terrace. From there, they watched the red sun set on the horizon, its lingering glow scattering across the shimmering surface of the sea. The sight was breathtakingly beautiful.
Gu Xinran rested one hand on the railing, encircling Yilan in her arms. The sunset cast a pinkish hue on her profile, and the blush on her cheeks was truly evocative. Gu Xinran's throat bobbed as she swallowed.
Hearing the sound, Bai Yilan looked at her, slightly taken aback. "What are you doing??"
A handsome curve formed on Gu Xinran's lips.
A knock on the door downstairs interrupted Gu Xinran's mood. Slightly annoyed, she went to open it. A server was there, delivering a sumptuous dinner for the two of them.
The exquisite Western-style meal was paired with a bottle of aged red wine.
Gu Xinran set the dishes on the table, her eyes fixed on the bottle of red wine. A wicked idea began to form~
She called for Yilan to come down for dinner, while she herself excitedly ran off to find wine glasses.
Bai Yilan caught sight of the large lobster on the table, and her appetite was instantly whetted. But a second later, her gaze shifted, and she saw the bottle of red wine. Her brow immediately arched. Having this thing here... wasn't this just asking for trouble!
Before long, Gu Xinran returned with two wine glasses, eagerly picked up the bottle, and poured two full glasses.
"Let's eat."
"Mhm~" Bai Yilan gave a subtle little laugh and gracefully took her seat.
After just a few bites, Gu Xinran couldn't hold back any longer. She raised her glass. "To our happy marriage?"
"Alright, to our happy marriage." They clinked their glasses, and as if on cue, they looked at each other and shared a smile.
Gu Xinran downed it in one go. After finishing, she frowned, smacked her lips, and savored the aftertaste. Not only did it not taste like wine, but it tasted exactly like grape juice. Do all high-end wines taste like this?
Bai Yilan also took a sip and seemed pleasantly surprised. She nodded. "Not bad."
"Mhm!" Gu Xinran immediately agreed. Then, she pressed a hand to her forehead and closed her eyes.
After waiting a moment, Gu Xinran felt a little confused. How am I not drunk yet? Why aren't I drunk?
"Xinran? What's wrong? Oh dear, I forgot you can't drink. You're not drunk, are you?"
"Ah... I'm a little dizzy." Hearing her question, Gu Xinran seized the opportunity and started to feign drunkenness.
"Oh, honestly, how could I have forgotten about that," Bai Yilan said with vexation. She then stood up to support her. "Let me help you back to the room to rest."
"Okay."
Gu Xinran agreed, leaning half her body against her. A cunning glint flashed in her eyes, and she could no longer suppress a wicked smile.
Just as they reached the doorway, Bai Yilan suddenly stopped. "Oh dear."
"Hm? What's wrong?"
"I just remembered, I think I mixed up the red wine and the grape juice. President Gu, how can you get this drunk from just a glass of grape juice?" Bai Yilan glanced at her, her eyes curving into crescents as she smiled.
"???" Gu Xinran froze. Am I drunk or not? Should I keep up the act???
Forget it. An actor who doesn't commit to the role isn't a good actor!
Gu Xinran tilted her head to rest in the crook of her neck and hugged her. "Mmm... I'm drunk~"
"Oh? President Gu, are we playing dirty now~?"
Gu Xinran wouldn't have it. She shook her head and nuzzled against her coquettishly. Yilan was deliberately using that cloyingly sweet tone, and it was driving her crazy. If she had to play dirty, then she'd play dirty!
Bai Yilan couldn't fend her off. This woman was actually a pretty convincing actor.
"I want... room service..." Gu Xinran slurred, forcing a drunken tone.
"Oh? And what kind of room service would that be?"
"Mmm-hmm~"
"Mmm-hmm? What?"
"The kind of service... that my wife can't know about, of course~" Gu Xinran swept her up into a princess carry and headed straight for the large, round bed in the bedroom.
"Hey, hey, President Gu, you're going too far."
"Still teasing me, are you?" Gu Xinran grabbed both of her wrists and pinned her to the bed.
"Huh? No, I'm not."
"Then what should you call me?"
"Er... mmm-hmm~" Bai Yilan suddenly grew shy. The two words were on the tip of her tongue, but she was a little too embarrassed to say them.
"What's 'mmm-hmm'?"
"Xinran~"
"Mother of my child~"
"Alright, you've lost your chance." With that, Gu Xinran grabbed the blanket and pulled it over both of them.
"Hey, no, no, no, hey—mmph... mmm... mmmph~"
