Seeing her silent, his eyes, colder than millennia-old ice, emitted a profound chill, more terrifying than ever, as if anyone who touched them would be shattered into pieces!

"So it’s true, isn’t it? Xia Qingqian, do you really think what you’re doing matters? Do you truly believe that I can’t live without you? You’ve become too spoiled with favor!" He roared angrily, not expecting this woman to be so arrogant; without some discipline, she was utterly unruly!

"Young Master..." Her watery eyes sparkled with tears, and she murmured with her face down, "If, in your heart, I’m such a person, then that’s what I am. Don’t forget, I approached you... indeed for your money to save me from misery. Yes, I am exactly that kind of person, particularly skilled at being spoiled with favor."

Since in his heart, that’s what she was, what was there left to explain?

"Why did you argue with Ziqian?" His heart was nearly exploding with anger because of this woman! Someone bullying Gu Ziqian would surely reach his grandfather’s ears, and he’d have to endure another lecture.

"Young Master, rest assured, I haven’t done anything to your little fiancée." Her nose tingled as she held back the tears that threatened to flow, "I’ll go and apologize to her now, will that be okay?"

She forcefully broke free from Beitang Yao’s grip, snatched her phone back from his hand, and ran out. Suddenly, stopping as if she remembered something, she pleaded softly: "Young Master, in the future, please don’t show me any tenderness; since I am that kind of woman, it’s not even worth a shred of gentleness from you, you know?" She was really afraid her heart couldn’t bear it anymore, she truly couldn’t!

She knew it; whenever he showed extra gentleness, she knew it was always fleeting, and behind it lay a heavy price to pay.

Xia Qingqian, oh Xia Qingqian, why are you always so weak, always thinking that it’s his true heart? You’re just a toy to him. Is it worth taking his occasional kindness as love, is it really worth it?

Though he hasn’t married yet, he has a fiancée. How can you be affectionate with him in front of his fiancée, what kind of situation is that?

Finishing her words, Xia Qingqian turned and ran out. She ran barefoot downstairs, asked Ye Feng where Gu Ziqian was, and then walked with her head down into the study.

Opening the door, she quickly saw Gu Ziqian by the bookshelf. She walked over and said softly to her: "Miss Gu, I apologize to you, is this okay now?"

Gu Ziqian knew men couldn’t be provoked; once you stepped on their tails, they’d get anxious. See, the effect was great; she just shed a few tears and said a few grievances, and Brother Yao believed her and stood up for her.

Looking at Xia Qingqian apologizing with her head down, she felt immensely happy inside! Nothing made her happier than this! 𝙛𝒓𝓮𝒆𝔀𝒆𝙗𝓷𝒐𝙫𝒆𝙡.𝒄𝓸𝓶

"Sister Xia, what’s wrong with you? Why are you apologizing to me? Have you really admitted that you’re a seductress?" Gu Ziqian replaced the book in her hand, walked up to Xia, pinched her jaw, and said coldly, "Sister Xia, I’ve told you before, you want to fight with me, to take a man from me, that’s impossible."

Xia Qingqian just felt a sting on her cheek because Gu Ziqian’s hand pressed on her swelling area, causing her to frown and moan in pain.
