Chapter 228: Thrown Out
Is there anyone who has offended her?Xia Yinian’s gaze subconsciously drifted towards Gu Beicheng’s direction.
It wasn’t just offending, but abuse!
"Are you quite idle?" Suddenly, from behind the office desk came the man’s deep, pleasant, yet inexplicably intimidating bass voice.
Chi He felt a chill down his spine and hurriedly met his gaze with a forced smile, "How, how could I be? I’ll get to work right now, immediately, heh heh!"
He turned and slipped away.
Looking at the door that was shut, Xia Yinian didn’t know how much she envied him.
How wonderful it would be if she could slip away immediately like Chi He!
"Also want to follow him out?" From across the desk, that sensual voice sounded again.
Xia Yinian subconsciously wanted to nod, but as soon as she did, her head immediately started shaking like a bobblehead.
"I don’t!" she said, her heart full of resentment.
This man was a super manipulative jerk—if she dared say she really wanted to leave, she had no doubt he could find a hundred ways to torment her.
It’s wise to provoke such a person less.
"You... aren’t you supposed to be working? How come you have the time to bother with me?"
Shouldn’t these big shots be extremely busy, so busy they don’t even have time to drink water?
"What? Hoping I get busy soon, so I won’t have time to pay attention to you?" He raised an eyebrow, a glint of coldness in his eyes.
Dare to say yes and try!
Xia Yinian only felt a cold breeze on her neck, her head seeming to wobble as if it could be chopped off by his frosty gaze at any moment.
"How, how could that be? Heh heh!"
She too began to learn from Chi He’s approach—to not provoke him, don’t provoke.
"So, you’re hoping I’m not busy and can keep you company?" he leaned back in his chair and somehow produced a cigarette, lighting it.
"..." Xia Yinian just felt speechless. She was clearly showing disdain, wishing he would get back to work and not cling to her—couldn’t he see that?
"What’s with that look?" his gaze suddenly turned stern.
"No... nothing." Xia Yinian gave a dry laugh, feeling a bit uncomfortable.
"Come here."
"I won’t!"
Gu Beicheng’s eyes darkened, displeased, "Not obeying?"
"...Does my job description include ’obeying’?" Was she just a maid?
"Doesn’t it?" Who dictated that maids shouldn’t be obedient?
If she’s not obedient, why waste Money hiring her?
Though, she doesn’t actually need him to waste Money now, as her work is to pay off a debt.
Suddenly, Gu Beicheng’s eyebrows rose, "Not obeying then? How about paying a fine? I heard the orphanage’s land is worth some Money."
"What do you want to do?" Xia Yinian’s heart panicked, but she still tried to appear calm.
"Nothing, I just wanted to tell you that if I want that land, it would be a piece of cake."
"You wouldn’t dare touch the orphanage’s land!" Xia Yinian truly wanted to strangle him—why does he always threaten her with the orphanage?
The damn thing is, every time he threatened her, she would indeed panic, frightened.
Gu Beicheng knew the orphanage was her Achilles’ heel; to control her, all he needed was to grip the orphanage.
"Come here." He flicked his fingers, flicking off the ash, "Do I need to say it a third time?"
Xia Yinian took a deep breath, slowly releasing it, trying not to be so angry before moving her legs and walking over step by tedious step.
Her pace was as slow as a snail’s.
Gu Beicheng was getting impatient, "If you don’t come over, would you believe I could strip you naked and throw you out?"
