As long as a person devotes himself to his work, he can temporarily stay away from the emotional pain.
Geli didn't understand this truth before, but she understands it now.
Since most of the tasks he took over in the past were completed well, my father felt a lot more relieved about himself.
Not only do they rarely interfere in their own decision-making, but they also listen more to their own opinions on other matters.
She felt that such a life was not bad.
——It would be better if Wayne stopped climbing over the wall every now and then in the middle of the night to see him.
Unfortunately, it backfired.
He didn't do anything else, he just sat silently and looked at himself pitifully, as if he really thought he would forgive him if he did this.
Song Li chose to treat him as nothing but air and ignore his existence.
However, he didn't cause trouble for himself at all.
In order to prevent him from seeing the documents related to her attack on the Winche family's "Leaf Publishing House", she had to finish all the important things before dark, and left some unimportant chores until night.
No doubt he would find out sooner or later.
But the little time difference gained is enough for me to make all the preparations.
Like right now.
The personnel, funds, and space of "Dandelion Publishing House" under the name of the Edgeworth family have all been secured and are just waiting for the official opening.
To this end, the Edgeworth family has even established a high-level staff team dedicated to analyzing all business strategies of "Leaf Publishing House" and responsible for providing targeted response plans.
The corners of Ge Li's mouth curled up, but there was no smile on his face.
Chris... let me see how you win this time?
The Wenche family should have received the news now. I wonder how wonderful the expressions of the two people would be when they heard the name "Dandelion Publishing House".
She sat on the edge of the bed with her legs crossed and took a sip of the wine sent from her winery, with a slight blush on her cheeks.
According to Kingdom regulations, minors are not allowed to drink alcohol.
Therefore, even at large banquets in the academy, most of the drinks prepared are just juice.
Even so, I only drank a little in the bedroom, so no one would know...
Unless that person is going out after drinking.
She hid her little expectations well.
Not long after, there was a slight noise from the window.
…
Wayne came to the Edgeworth house with a heavy heart.
Until today, he learned that Asali actually founded a publishing house of the same type, hoping to compete with Chris's "Leaf Publishing House".
He hesitated whether he should ask about this matter after meeting Ge Li.
When she first received the news, Kris was so angry that she hammered the pillow at home, saying that Ascletis was openly provoking and plagiarizing her ideas.
But Wayne was worried more.
During this time, he came to see her almost every night.
Although she wasn't kicked out in a rage, she... didn't even want to talk to herself.
Before doing this, she didn't show any clues in front of her.
Could it be that you have given up on yourself?
Just thinking about this possibility makes my heart hurt.
So much so that he didn't even know what he should do.
——Angry at her?
But that would be completely be.
He missed the silly, innocent, and easy-to-deceive Miss Song of Songs.
But he also understood very clearly what made her become what she was now.
Since it’s all your own fault, don’t be too demanding on her...
He walked into Song Li's room in frustration.
But to his surprise, the person who appeared in front of him was Kareira-san, who was wearing much thinner clothes than usual, and even looked a little out of sorts.
The light in the room is dim and ambiguous.
She sat on the edge of the bed with her legs crossed, one strap of her nightgown half-draped lazily on her arm, exposing most of her softness; she also held a transparent glass in her hand, which was shaking gently.
Wayne only felt as if his reason was put into a small wine glass by her, placed against her pink lips, and drank by her in one gulp.
Seeing Wayne appear, she showed a beautiful smile and invited him.
"Wayne~ come here..."
Am I dreaming?
Wayne rolled his Adam's apple subconsciously and approached her with somewhat frivolous steps.
Cheeks feel a little hot.
My head is also dizzy.
"You...have been drinking?" he murmured.
Strange.
She was clearly the one drinking, so why was she the one who seemed to be drunk?
As if she disliked him for being too slow, before Wen could kneel down carefully beside her, Ge Li grabbed Wen's neck and pushed his head into her arms.
"Let's... have a drink together?" Ge Li leaned into his ear and said in a hoarse voice.
Wrapped in the faint fragrance of Ge Li, Wayne's breathing quickened.
"D-Drinking is not good."
His hands began to climb up Songli's soft waist.
"It doesn't matter... As long as you don't say it and I don't say it, who will know?" Her suggestive words were like a devil tempting people's hearts.
"Here...no matter what you do, no one will know..."
She emphasized again, smiling fondly while kissing his ear.
"Come here~ Just treat it as accompanying me~"
——It’s over.
Song Li was drunk.
But what's even worse is that his condition is not much better.
"You are still young, no, don't numb yourself with alcohol." He said in a very puzzled way.
Song Li was unhappy.
"You sound like you are very old... Come on, one word, do you want to drink?"
For a moment, Wayne didn't answer.
After a moment of silence, Geli quickly lost patience and pushed Wayne down on the bed with his backhand.
With an indomitable momentum, she took the half-empty wine bottle from the bedside table, poured it into her mouth, and then——
Sitting on Wayne's body, he kissed him.
Lips and tongue are smooth.
Wayne's mind went blank.
……What is rhythm? ? ?
Am I being pushed back?
No, I can't let others take advantage of me!
Thinking angrily, he kissed back with more force.
Ge Li, who was sitting on top of him just now, was pushed back under him in an instant, and could only continue to let out rapid gasps.
A little red wine slipped from Ge Li's lips.
Wayne licked it clean bit by bit.
Indulgence is always easier than imagined, and Wayne has no memory of what he originally planned to do before coming to the Edgeworth house.
"I...I want to drink..." Geli wanted to push him away.
"Didn't you drink just now?"
"I still want to drink..."
"Stop drinking, I'll help you drink."
After saying that, he picked up the bottle and ended all the wine remaining in it.
