Pampered Poisonous Royal Wife-Chapter 1214: One Bowl of Soup Solves Everything (4)
"Miss An, as the daughter of the An Family, how can you act so arrogant and domineering in public, bullying an innocent little girl? Is this how Mr. and Mrs. An taught you? Who gave you the right to behave like this so brazenly?!" ๐๐ซ๐๐๐จ๐๐ฏ๐๐ ๐๐๐.๐๐ผ๐
"I did!"
Just as Guh Siyi finished speaking, a cold, deep voice cut through sharply, like a blade slicing through.
Startled, Guh Siyi turned pale and looked in disbelief toward Gu Yelin, who was walking over.
The hall went silent; even the sound of a pin dropping could be heard clearly. Under everyoneโs gaze, Gu Yelin, dressed in a black suit, slowly strode toward An Yiqing. His movements were deliberate and elegant, yet carried an overwhelming aura of ruthless dominance. Every step he took seemed as if he were treading on a mountain of corpses and rivers of blood, leaving no choice but for others to submit and worship.
Watching Gu Yelin approach step by step, Guh Siyiโs lips lost their color. She forced a reluctant smile and asked bitterly, "Ye Lin, what did you just say?..."
Gu Yelin didnโt respond, nor did he spare Guh Siyi a glance. Instead, he walked directly to An Yiqingโs side, pulling her protectively into his embrace.
"You troublemaker, insisting on handling everything by yourself. What if you got your hand burned by the soup? Next time, youโre not allowed to chase me away over matters like this."
"Hmm, alright, next time then." An Yiqing playfully stuck out her tongue and quietly nestled against Gu Yelinโs chest.
She didnโt dream of being a princess, nor did she wish for Cinderellaโs story, but at the very moment this man walked over, even though she couldnโt see it, An Yiqing felt that he was her prince and her own fairy tale.
Gu Yelin looked down at An Yiqingโs cheeky expression with helplessness, ruffling her silky hair affectionately before pulling her tightly into his arms.
If it werenโt for his sweetheartโs firm command earlier, he wouldโve intervened long ago. Anyone who dared to insult his beloved deserved death!
His cold, piercing gaze landed on Guh Siyi, his aura emanating pure frost and severity.
Guh Siyiโs face turned ghostly white, her whole body trembling uncontrollably. She had never imagined that her first direct interaction with Gu Yelin would happen in such circumstances.
"Ye... Ye Lin..." She forced a pitiful smile, her lips barely moving.
Gu Yelinโs gaze suddenly shifted from her, sweeping icily across the room.
Stunned by Gu Yelinโs overwhelming presence, everyone held their tongues tightly, anxiously awaiting his next move.
"All of you witnessed the chaos today with your own eyes. As for the rumors spreading around Xuandu City lately, I expect them to stop with those who are wise enough."
Gu Yelinโs low, magnetic voice reverberated, infused with a coldness that was impossible to resist.
"The reason I came here today, first, was to attend Old Master Qianโs granddaughterโs coming-of-age ceremony, and second, because Qing believed that some matters needed to be addressed. Everyone here knows exactly who is spreading the rumors in Xuandu City. Qing is soft-hearted, so she chose to resolve this issue with peace. But if it were up to meโ"
Gu Yelinโs gaze suddenly locked onto Guh Siyi, every word from his lips sharp and commanding: "I would show no mercyโkill without exception!"
Guh Siyi staggered backward, collapsing onto the sofa behind her. Her face was as pale as a sheet, her trembling hands slick with cold sweat. The thin dress she wore had been soaked through completely by her clammy fear.
For the first time, she realized that this man truly seemed like a devil!
Without bothering to care about what Guh Siyi might be thinking, Gu Yelin, satisfied with the outcome, pulled An Yiqing with him, preparing to leave.
Just before leaving the banquet, he delivered the final line of the evening.
