《Sweetness Drowning: Callous Boss and Awkward Wife》C59. The Wine Party
Advertisement
Proofread by Peter Gong
In the whole afternoon, Wang Feng and Yu Yu are shopping in the mall. They buy a new spring dress and jewels for tomorrow’s wine party, and then return to Ko House with satisfaction after purchasing a lot of stuffs. At the gate they meet Ko Chen who just comes home from work. Due to tomorrow’s wine party, he canceled tonight’s dinner, thus going home earlier. Glancing at their bags in hands, he doesn’t say anything.
At the sight of his expression, the conversation in the morning occurs to Wang Feng again. She thinks he will blame them for lavishing money, as after enjoying swiping cards, she didn’t even look at the prices and bought stuffs she liked immediately in their later shopping, so did Yu Yu. As a result, she automatically hides the bags behind her back, which, however, is observed by Ko Chen. Sneering in his mind but not expressing it on his face, he says to Uncle Zhang, “Let bodyguards bring these to the room. ”
Hearing his words, Wang Feng is relaxed. She takes over the bags in Yu Yu’s hands with an ingratiating smile, saying “No, no, thanks. I can take them back by myself. You two talk.” Then she throws a wink at Yu Yu and rushes into the room. Yu Yu knows what her mother is thinking about, that is, trying to create an opportunity for them to cultivate feelings. However, his distant expression doesn’t show any hint of flirting state.
When Yu Yu is considering how to leave, Ko Chen starts to talk unexpectedly, “Will you sleep in my room tonight?” Stunned by his invitation, she is lost in words. Until Ko Chen is about to leave without patience does Yu Yu come to herself. She drags his arm in a hurry, “Wait, well, yes!” She looks back to see his stare and her shadow is reflected in his deep eyes where Yu Yu is gradually drowned unconsciously.
Yu Yu sleeps on the sofa as yesterday, but this time staying away his bed is emphasized by Ko Chen again and again. He even threatens her, “If you act like last night again, I will definitely call the bodyguard to throw you out right from the second floor.” Were it said by others, Yu Yu would feel it childish, but it is said by Ko Chen, so the only thing she can do is nod with fear for she knows he is serious.

Nonetheless, her scared look is deliberately made, because she is clear that if only she can live in his room, it doesn’t matter that she sleeps on a sofa, for no one else would know it. Furthermore, she will get Ko Chen sooner or later as long as a man and a woman stay in one single room.
It is a silent night.
Time flies to a new day’s afternoon. Gu Yi goes to Yu Fei’s home to pick up her two hours earlier. He was a little displeased when he found Yu Fei had been gone yesterday although he had predicted it. His unpleasantness doesn’t diminish when he rings the door bell of her house. But when the door is opened and Yu Fei appears in front of him, his unpleasantness vanishes.
Yu Fei wears a white dress. Her breasts are vaguely revealed under the cover of lace, her exposed shanks look more slender under the wide hem,and the outline of her waist is drawn perfectly by the fitting dress, which shows no hint that she is a mother-to-be.
Her dress is obviously a little conservative but he feels it sexy in conservation. He is stunned at the door and has a strong desire to hold her into his arms. His reaction confuses Yu Fei, and she guesses it’s because her dress doesn’t look good, thus she looks down with a hesitation, saying carefully, “Truly, the dress isn’t popular these days. Well, should I change it?”
Then she is about to go back to change clothes, but is dragged by Gu Yi, who stares at her and whose eyes are filled with affection. His stare slightly embarrasses Yu Fei and colors her cheeks. Yu Fei seldom puts on makeup since she is pregnant, but this time is a special circumstance, so she has made up lightly. Her bright eyes seem to be brighter, and her face is so fair that she seems like a fairy coming down to the earth. There are no other words but “beautiful” in Gu Yi’s mind, he praises, “Really beautiful, really really!” His sincere praise makes her face rosier.

Along the road, Gu Yi’s eyes are always fixed on Yu Fei’s face unwittingly. Yu Fei observes it but has to pretend not to notice it. His feelings are so obvious that she can’t respond to them, so she chooses to escape them like an ostrich, pretending to look outside.
People’s eyes are fixed on them immediately when they walk into the hall with their arms intertwined. Gu Yi also wears a white suit today. When standing together, they look like diamonds that are so shining that no one is able to open their eyes.
Many people recognize Yu Fei and start to whisper, however, their looks are noticed by Yu Fei sensitively. Smile is frozen on her face, and then her arms are also frozen. Gu Yi feels her frozen gesture. Looking back and seeing her pale face, he instantly knows what’s going on and covers her ear, gently saying, “Don’t listen to them, just follow me.”
His gentleness helps her to regain her confidence slightly and relax her upset mind. Yu Fei nods with a smile and then they walk into the hall formally. These days, Gu Company develops pretty well, so there are many people greeting Gu Yi, and Yu Fei has to keep smiling, too. Her facial muscles are sore due to her constant smiling, but she doesn’t knead them for fear that her make-up would be ruined, and just lowers her head and opens her mouth for a while.
Just at this time, the crowd bursts into shouts. She looks up, seeing everyone looking at the gate, and she follows their sight, only to be frozen in place: it is Yu Yu and Ko Chen standing at the gate with her hand around his arm.
Yu Yu wears a sexy black dress. Her beautiful legs are shown perfectly in high-split style, her white skin is snow-like in black dress, and her appearance is like a black swan ready to soar into the sky. Ko Chen wears a black suit, probably to match her. His cold character is more distinct when he is in black, as if he could freeze a man with just a look.
It is the first time for Yu Yu to attend this kind of upper-class wine party. Standing beside Ko Chen, she enjoys every look thrown at her with a delightful mind and unconscious smile. Just at this time, she sees the two in white while the two notice Ko Chen and her, too. They are distinct in colors, that is, black and white, as if making a contrast deliberately.
“Chen,” With a big smile, Yu Yu gently drags Ko Chen’s sleeve. He doesn’t have much expression, but leans over tenderly to put his ear close to her. Their intimate gesture causes another stir.
Yu Fei hears someone whispering behind her, “I can’t imagine Boss Ko would have such tenderness. I thought he doesn’t like woman as he always puts on his poker face. Now it turns out that he just didn’t meet the right person before.” “Please mind your words, Boss Ko’s wife is beside Boss Gu. She will hear it.” With a totally different tone from her words, another woman says, apparently deliberately to Yu Fei as if to watch an interesting play. Yu Fei’s palms turn cold. She just feels the light is so bright that she feels desperate to escape from here.

Terminal
My heart was shattered that day. It was on that day that I realized that life had an end, and that mine was coming. It was on that day that I realized that I was going to die. Leukemia, they told me. It's almost over. I didn't know what to do after that. I thought that maybe it would be best to die right then, get it over with. I thought that I could push myself away from all my friends, all my family, stop them from missing me after I was gone. I thought that I could handle it on my own, that perhaps the world was better off without me. I was wrong. So please help me, I'm dying. Save me, I'm falling. They tell me I won't survive. Please catch me, because if you don't, I'll shatter. I can't grab on anymore, I can't keep fighting. It's going to swallow me up. My name is Alyssa Gray, and by the time you finish reading this, I'll be dead. ________________________________ A few warnings and things to note: -I've put up the tramatising content tag due to a lot of mentions on death, dying, illness, and a mother who tends to be rather cruel. I know that I take a perspective that many will strongly disagree with, and I'm okay with that. Just be warned that this isn't lighthearted stuff. This is real, and death is real, and this part streaches beyond the fiction into reality. -I'm going to say a minor spoiler, but I don't want it to take you unaware because it is something to be aware of. At one point, my MC attempts suicide and fails. It's a very violent scene and I will put up the gore tag after writing this, and it's also just really depressing. If this will be triggering, you need to be aware of this before you read it. -This is a christian book. It may go against some of your beliefs. I hope that you can read and comment anyway even if some of it does not sit well with you. Credits for the cover go to the user 'Media in Sanity'. Your help and assitance has meant so much to me, God bless you in your writing and your endevours. A proud member of WriTE. I've promised to finish this fiction and update it at least once a month. My schedule is very irregular, and I'm working on that, but I'm going to do everything I can to make sure that this book stays out there. I'm not ending it until it's done.
