The Amazing Son-in-Law [The Charismatic Charlie Wade] (Chinese name) Chapter: 7229

Afterward, Gu Qiuyi and Tawanna embraced once more.

Tawanna held her tightly and whispered in her ear, ashamed, “I’m sorry, Qiuyi… I really couldn’t help myself.”

Gu Qiuyi smiled and replied, “Why are you apologizing to me? I’m not Brother charlie’s wife.”

She gently patted Tawanna’s back and said, “Do your best out there. I’m heading down now!”

Tawanna was deeply moved and nodded reluctantly.

Gu Qiuyi walked to the top of the elevator, gave the audience another bow, and waved with a bright smile. “Thank you again for your support. Goodbye!”

The elevator then began to descend, and Gu Qiuyi disappeared from the stage.

By now, Tawanna had collected herself. As the prelude to the next song began, she shifted smoothly back into performance mode.

Meanwhile, charlie had already stepped off the stage and headed straight for the dressing room.

He removed his makeup, then glanced at his reflection while holding his outfit. Looking at himself in the mirror, he couldn’t help but feel a bit helpless.

If he’d known things would turn out this way after agreeing to perform, he never would’ve done it. He cared about his reputation. If his identity were ever revealed, what would happen to that reputation?

Just as he was lost in thought, there was a knock at the door.

charlie called out, “Come in,” and in walked Gu Qiuyi, smiling brightly.

“Brother charlie!”

She approached and teased playfully, “You sure had some serious romantic luck tonight!”

charlie winced. “What romantic luck? That was just plain embarrassing.”

Gu Qiuyi walked up to charlie, looked him over with a playful smile, and said, “A gorgeous top star throws herself into your arms on stage and kisses you—how is that not considered luck in love?”

charlie shook his head seriously. “No, absolutely not! I don’t have those kinds of feelings for her. At most, she’s half a partner and half a friend. After what she did, I just wanted to vanish from the stage. How is that even remotely romantic luck?”

Gu Qiuyi deliberately let out a teasing “oh,” and said with mock shyness, “So that doesn’t count? Brother charlie, your standards for love luck are really high.”

Then, suddenly stepping closer to him, she asked, “Brother charlie, then tell me… would this count as luck in love?”

charlie blinked in confusion. “What do you mean, this?”

Gu Qiuyi only smiled mysteriously and whispered, “This!”

Before charlie could react, she rose on her tiptoes and pressed her soft, cherry-colored lips against his.

charlie was completely caught off guard, stunned into stillness.

As their lips met, he felt the warmth and tenderness of her kiss, along with a faint sweetness. His mind went blank, and a strange, unfamiliar flutter rose in his chest.

His heartbeat sped up instantly, but Gu Qiuyi showed no sign of pulling away. Eyes closed, she kissed him with a gentle, greedy affection.

charlie couldn’t help but scold himself in his mind: “charlie, you’re supposed to be a master! Even the Earl of Poqinghui couldn’t take you down, and now you’re getting ambushed by two women in a row? You… you’re seriously slipping!”
