Chapter 130: A Demon is a Demon
An hour later, Xia Yinian stumbled out of Gu Beicheng’s yard.She didn’t dare to pause and ran out rapidly.
It was not until she was far, far away from the gate of his yard that she finally stopped and gasped for air.
She was so exhausted; to think she ran such a distance in one go almost knocked the life out of her.
But she was still a bit panicked and continued to carefully look back towards the yard.
Only when she was sure that no one was coming after her did Xia Yinian finally take a deep breath of relief.
Sitting on the roadside flower bed, she patted her chest, her breathing was still hurried and had not calmed down yet.
What had she done tonight?
Damn it, she was almost completely devoured by Gu Beicheng in the bathroom just a moment ago!
Luckily, just in the nick of time, she came to her senses, remembering the promise he made to her.
He had said he would give her a month’s time, which became her last straw.
However, a man about to explode couldn’t control his actions, and he was someone who didn’t like to break his promises...
So, he forcefully pressed her legs together, standing behind her...
Just recalling that scene made Xia Yinian feel panic rising again.
No matter how tired, she still hastily stood up and continued running towards the main house.
Not being dealt with on the spot by him was a stroke of immense luck, having escaped when the man was momentarily relaxed.
If she was caught and dragged back, she would have no chance to escape again tonight.
She thought he had really changed, that after their agreement, he stopped tormenting her.
But in reality, he just switched to another form of torment!
A demon is a demon; don’t expect him to change his nature just because he puts on a human skin.
Xia Yinian ran all the way into the main house’s hall, back to the door of her own room.
Just as she was about to enter, another door in the corridor suddenly opened.
Gu Lingqian’s eyes fell on her flushed face, a hint of confusion in his tone: "Nian Nian, where did you go this late?"
"I, I went out... just took a walk," Xia Yinian nervously replied: "I... am tired, I need to sleep, goodnight, Young Master Ling."
After saying that, she opened the door, and just as she was about to close it,
a large hand extended and stopped her from closing the door.
"Won’t you let me come in and sit?" Gu Lingqian leaned on the door frame, observing the panic in her eyes.
"It’s so late, how about... you come in tomorrow." Xia Yinian managed to squeeze out a feigned smile.
"Really? But I am your boyfriend, it’s more romantic to sit together at night." Gu Lingqian showed no sign of leaving.
Xia Yinian subconsciously looked around the corridor, not noticing anyone else.
With no one around, why is he still putting on an act?
Could it be because someone is monitoring them?
Actually, Xia Yinian didn’t know why she was so nervous.
But having been a victim in the island’s forest, she always felt that in this elite circle, being careless could easily lead to her demise.
For a safe passage through the entirety of the coming year, she decided it was better to be cautious.
Finally, she relaxed her grip and let Gu Lingqian into the room.
"Is there something you want to tell me?" she asked as she closed the door.
Gu Lingqian didn’t respond, instead, he walked over to the coffee table and sat down: "Make me a cup of tea."
