Insufficient balance

  People's hearts are always separated by a layer of skin, and it's hard to guess or see through.

  If Ye Jun hadn't clearly seen the future development trajectory, how would he have known that Guo Haisheng, who had a good laugh with Ye Yangsheng, would be so righteous? This upright and great man, while carrying the same family burden, still shared an earth-shaking brotherly love with Ye Yangsheng without reservation. This has always moved Ye Jun.

  "Xiao Jun, I heard you just recovered and got out of the hospital. Come on, Uncle Guo would like to toast a cup for you."

  Three cups of wine down the hatch, Guo Haisheng's face was flushed with red light, and he didn't care about Dong Suning's obstruction, insisting on pouring half a cup of Erguotou for Ye Jun. Although it was only cheap Erguotou, the degree of alcohol was not low, without a certain amount of wine, three cups down the hatch would definitely make one lie down until tomorrow. As for Wuliangye and Jian Nan Chun, Ye Yangsheng and Guo Haisheng were both uninterested, they just liked Erguotou, as Guo Haisheng said, this was a habit formed during his military service, the degree was too low, the flavor was not enough to make one drunk, it had no kick.

  Ye Jun didn't stand on ceremony, and with a few gulps, he finished the wine handed over by Guo Haisheng. No matter how bitter or strong it was, Ye Jun wouldn't have frowned: "Thank you, Uncle Guo, for your concern. I heard that recently, Uncle Guo has successfully bid for several projects in the city, truly a joyous occasion."

  "Haha! I have to thank your dad for his support." Guo Haisheng said with a smile.

  "We've been friends for decades, how can you still say such distant words? Old Guo, I don't like hearing this."

  Ye Yangcheng pretended to be slightly angry, but soon burst out laughing.

  "Alright! For your words, I, Old Guo, will punish myself with three cups!"

  Guo Haisheng was clearly drunk, but still sober. As a businessman who had to negotiate deals with people over drinks every day, he could handle at least a few cups of wine without any problem. At this moment, Guo Haisheng downed three cups in one go and then turned to Guo Xiaoyu beside him: "Xiaoyu, quickly toast your Uncle Ye with a cup."

  "Uncle Ye, Xiaoyu offers congratulations on your promotion to Jiangling."

  Previously, Ye Yangsheng had quietly revealed that he would rush to Jiangling City to serve as mayor, which was not a secret, but it ruined Guo Haisheng's mood. In fact, given their relationship, Ye Yangsheng's promotion and reuse by the state was like his business getting bigger and better, making him happy. Just now, the two of them were discussing that once Ye Yangsheng rushed to Jiangling City, he would sell his property here and move to Jiangling City, and in the second half of this year, he would start to transfer his business to Jiangling in a planned way.

  Ye Jun was very clear that in those years, in order to manage the river embankment, Ye Yang Sheng had overcome public opinion and handed over the project to Guo Hai Sheng for construction. Unfortunately, the Guo family were outsiders, and they were frequently threatened and extorted by underworld forces every three days or so. Even their front door was often splashed with water and oil, and sprayed with red paint. Helpless, Guo Hai Sheng could only let Liang Fang and Guo Xiao Yu move to the provincial capital to live, while he remained in Jiangling City with Ye Yang Sheng to jointly resist the lawless elements that trampled on human life!

  "Xiao Yu has become more and more sensible, this time back in the country, it actually made Uncle Ye feel like a day without seeing her was like three autumns. As the saying goes, 'a girl changes eighteen times before she is eighteen', if he hadn't been watching Xiao Yu grow up since she was little, Uncle Ye really wouldn't dare recognize his niece who had become so beautiful."

  "Lao Ye, I'm tired of hearing this. How did it become about my niece? Anyway, we're almost... never mind, you understand."

  Guo Haisheng actually wanted to say that soon everyone would be family, but only the parents of both sides were aware of it, so Guo Haisheng didn't plan to reveal it. Guo Xiaoyu was naturally confused, perhaps also sensing that there was more to her father's words than met the eye, and she inadvertently glanced at the taciturn Ye Jun, her pretty face flushing slightly. As for Ye Jun, he pretended not to hear, until after Guo Haisheng encountered difficulties, did Ye Jun come to know that the two families had already made some kind of promise, unfortunately, at that time his mind was preoccupied with Chen Guyun who had entered his world, so he hadn't taken it to heart.

  "Haha, right, come on, I'll punish myself with three cups too!"

  Ye Yangsheng and Guo Haisheng chatted back and forth, completely unaware of Ye Jun's change in demeanor. Meanwhile, Guo Xiaoyu displayed a demure and reserved expression, carefully pouring wine for Ye Yangsheng and Guo Haisheng. As for Liang Fang, she was busy chatting with Dong Suning about family matters.

  "Xiao Jun, why are you always so quiet and not speaking? Come on, have another drink with Uncle Guo!"

  Jian Ye Jun lowered his head in thought, and Guo Hai Sheng hurriedly raised a cup of wine. This move scared Dong Su Ning, who quickly said: "Old Guo, the child is still young, don't let him drink so much, he just got out of the hospital, it's not good for his body."

  Dong Suning's words were still effective, but Ye Jun took the wine cup and gulped it down in one go. Dong Suning couldn't stop him even if she wanted to; after all, she couldn't make Ye Jun vomit up the wine from his stomach! There was no other choice, so they went with the usual phrase: "Guo Haisheng's toast, no matter what, must be drunk!" For Guo Haisheng's sake, and his genuine kindness towards friends, Ye Jun would drink even if it killed him!

  "I've had enough! I think I'm going to throw up..."

  Just after putting down the wine glass, Ye Jun felt dizzy and disoriented, only then remembering that his current body couldn't handle such a large amount of alcohol. Instinctively, Ye Jun got up and rushed to the bathroom, while Guo Haisheng saw this and hastily said: "Xiaoyu, quickly go help."

  "Needless to say? Isn't this bad? How can we let Xiaoyu go?" Dong Suning heard and couldn't help but feel embarrassed.

  "It's nothing."

  Guo Haisheng waved his hand and smiled: "This is what should be done, Xiaoyu, hurry up and go, don't let Xiao Jun fall down."

  Guo Xiaoyu hastily ran to Ye Jun's side, supporting the swaying Ye Jun, seemingly with some effort. Her originally rosy face seemed to be holding back a breath of air, and it turned even redder.

  With Guo Xiaoyu's help, Ye Jun smoothly entered the toilet and as soon as he stepped inside, he knelt down in front of the toilet bowl, continuously spitting out the stuff that was gushing up his throat. Guo Xiaoyu obviously hadn't seen this kind of scene before, and for a moment she was flustered, hastily stretching out her small hand, not even minding the pungent smell that was rushing into her nose, as she kept patting Ye Jun's chilled back: "Slow down, Xiao Jun, are you okay?"

  Actually, regarding the agreement between the two families, Guo Xiaoyu was not completely unaware. Since she overheard her parents discussing it in their room that year, Guo Xiaoyu felt both afraid and ashamed. So four years ago, Guo Xiaoyu resolutely decided to study abroad, with the purpose of avoiding Ye Jun, as well as escaping her parents' subtle matchmaking.

  However, as Guo Xiaoyu grew older, she also knew that she would eventually have to get married. She was a obedient and well-behaved girl who had never disobeyed her parents before, even if it was subconscious, she felt extremely guilty for doing so. After completing her studies, she returned to the country less than half a month ago and was taken by Guo Haisheng to the Ye family. She agreed to come, which meant that she had accepted the marriage arranged by her parents, although she still had some reluctance now.

  "It's nothing, this little wine won't bring me down."

  Ye Jun mumbled something, but it seemed that a sour, sweet, bitter and salty foreign object was surging up his throat. He couldn't care about the boastful words he had just spoken, and once again bowed his head into the toilet, vomiting uncontrollably.

  Guo Xiaoyu couldn't help but smile, covering her mouth and giggling softly, while continuously patting Ye Jun's cool back, saying: "Slow down, slow down."

  With Guo Xiaoyu's help, Ye Jun finally stopped the feeling of vomiting and used clear water to rinse out the foul taste in his mouth. After calming down, he inadvertently caught a glimpse of Guo Xiaoyu's slender curves twisting and turning with shortness of breath, and suddenly felt a dry mouth and tongue.

  Perhaps it was this intoxicating feeling that made Ye Jun's hands and feet somewhat disobedient, as he continued to feel a pungent fragrance and the smooth jade-like hand caressing him, and under the influence of the intoxication, a strong desire arose.

  "Xiao Jun, what are you doing?"

  Suddenly, Ye Jun grabbed Guo Xiaoyu's jade hand, and it was clear that this action scared the girl who had been smiling until then.

  At this moment, a man and a woman stood face to face in the bathroom filled with ambiguity, with the door closed. The distance between them was so close that they could feel each other's hot breath. Guo Xiaoyu felt her body hair stand on end under Ye Jun's invasive gaze, and seeing him remain silent for a long time, she subconsciously shrunk back, trembling as she said: "Xiao Jun... let go... you're hurting me..."

  Suddenly, Ye Jun's body leaned sharply, forcing Guo Xiaoyu into a corner of the wall. He smiled and said, "Sister Xiaoyu, you're really beautiful."

  As soon as the words fell, before Guo Xiaoyu could react, Ye Jun reached out with one hand and grasped Guo Xiaoyu's neck, with a dashing smile, he leaned in and kissed those cherry lips that had captivated countless men. The series of actions was seamless, precise, and ruthless, leaving Guo Xiaoyu no chance to escape.

  Hmmm...

  Guo Xiaoyu woke up with a start, feeling both ashamed and afraid, but her brain seemed to have short-circuited, and she could only weakly pat Ye Jun's back repeatedly, which felt like scratching an itch for him.

  Ye Jun did not satisfy the invasion of his lips, and at the same time, two arms suddenly wrapped around Guo Xiaoyu's slender waist, which made Guo Xiaoyu feel like being electrocuted, and her body's strength quickly dissipated. Even if she occasionally struggled, it was so powerless.

  Delicious! Really delicious!

  Feeling the smoothness transmitted from her arm, and the refreshing fragrance that came with each breath, Ye Jun wrinkled his nose and thought to himself: Guo Xiaoyu was like a cold ice cream on a hot summer day, making people feel an irresistible desire. How could he have missed such a great opportunity in his past life?

  Feeling the softness transmitted from her lips, it was as if chocolate, round and smooth, tempting his heartstrings. Ye Jun could no longer control himself, forcefully feeling the fragrance transmitted from Guo Xiaoyu's lips, his tongue deeply invading the enemy camp without leaving any trace.

  After a long time, just as Guo Xiaoyu was kissed until she was dizzy, Ye Jun finally let go of his arms: "Is this your first kiss?"

  Lips joined, lips parted, whether it was fast or slow, Guo Xiaoyu no longer intended to pursue the matter, and didn't even dare to answer Ye Jun's question. With a heart full of shame and grievance, she hastily fled the scene of her 'indiscretion'.

  When Ye Jun washed his face, his mind gradually cleared up, and for a moment he regretted it, secretly scolding himself for being drunk and making mistakes. However, when he walked out of the bathroom, he didn't see the suspicious and interrogating gazes of both parents, but instead saw Dong Suning stroking Guo Xiaoyu's head, casting a white eye at Ye Jun: "Don't drink again in the future, look, you even threw up on Xiaoyu's body and made her cry. Little Jun, apologize quickly!"

  "Xiaoyu sister, sorry, I was drunk earlier, it wasn't intentional."

  Seeing Guo Xiaoyu with red eyes and a face full of grievances, Ye Jun guessed that Guo Xiaoyu would definitely not dare to tell the truth, but only pushed it off by saying that she accidentally splashed on her when she vomited, which is why she was so flustered. Fortunately, it seemed that Dong Suning and Liang Fang had not noticed anything unusual, and they were able to muddle through.

  "Uh-huh."

  Guo Xiaoyu softly responded with a "en", then retreated into Dong Suning's embrace, apparently still not having recovered from Ye Jun's forceful kiss earlier.
