Chapter 231: Why Is It Getting Hotter?
Xia Yinian felt faint, like she might pass out at any moment.It was as if she were a fish laying on the chopping board, life or death depending solely on the decision of the person holding the knife.
And Gu Beicheng, right now, was clearly the one holding the knife.
His hand touched her body, his fingertips tracing her skin.
The heat from his fingertips made Xia Yinian shiver all at once.
"Don’t move." Gu Beicheng’s voice was indescribably hoarse, his Adam’s apple trembling slightly.
Unfortunately, Xia Yinian couldn’t see it.
But given the current situation, even if she could see it, she wouldn’t be seduced by his sexiness.
If she could see, her heart would definitely be even more flustered.
Yet, those red marks still pained his eyes.
He really hadn’t exerted any force; he couldn’t understand how.
"Does it hurt?" His fingertips brushed over the red marks, this time with absolute gentleness.
Xia Yinian bit her lip, held back her tears, and remained silent.
Let him try, then he would know how painful it was! This demon, clearly doesn’t feel the pain in his standing position.
Gu Beicheng knew she was in pain. Otherwise, such a stubborn little girl definitely wouldn’t cry in front of him.
He dialed an internal line, calmly saying: "Chi He, bring over a bottle of medicine for skin swelling."
The little girl on his lap suddenly began to struggle desperately.
However, with a sweep of Gu Beicheng’s large hand, pulling back her skirt, she looked completely fine.
However, lying across Gu Beicheng’s legs, this posture was always inappropriate.
Plus, with the clothes under the skirt all messed up, the ambiguousness was indescribable...
Soon, Chi He came in with a bottle of ointment, wanting to approach but stopped by Gu Beicheng’s cold gaze.
"Seventh Young Master..." He was a bit stunned, immediately halted, and did not dare move a step closer.
"Throw it here." Gu Beicheng’s voice was suppressed to be very calm, yet still tinged with a hint of hoarseness.
Thinking of his own safety, he had to pretend he knew nothing.
Respectfully tossing the ointment over, he immediately bowed his head and exited.
"I can do it myself!" Xia Yinian already knew what Gu Beicheng wanted to do, but she didn’t need it.
It was clearly him who had hit her, and now he was pretending to kindly apply medicine; it was nothing but crocodile tears!
How could Gu Beicheng not know what she was thinking? Sometimes he really wondered, if she were a bit more obedient, would he be a bit less angry?
But, there are no ifs in this world, and this girl... who knows when she will learn to behave.
To obey him, to listen to his words, to stay by his side, wouldn’t that be better?
Why insist on following Gu Lingqian back to the Gu Family, now finding herself in difficulty at every turn, isn’t it self-inflicted?
