Chapter 245: If You Use Me, You Must Pay the Price
"How is it? Thinking of walking away just like that after using me?" Gu Beicheng’s eyes narrowed.His scorching breath fell squarely on Xia Yinian’s face: "Is the cost of using me, Gu Beicheng, so low?"
Xia Yinian quickly repressed the panic in her eyes, not expecting him to see right through her use of him to strike at Le Qingqing.
But, that’s not surprising, is it! With someone as formidable as Seventh Young Master, how could he not see through the petty schemes of a minor character like her?
Gu Beicheng picked up her long hair, twirling it around his fingers: "Now tell me, what do you plan to repay for using me like this?"
Xia Yinian pursed her lips, wondering if he would get angry enough to tear her apart if she said she wanted nothing in return.
"What other cunning plan are you thinking of?" Gu Beicheng suddenly leaned in close.
"Don’t..." She resisted subconsciously.
"I am not someone who can be used for nothing. You better think carefully before you speak!" Gu Beicheng’s voice suddenly intensified.
Xia Yinian knew, she was indeed at fault this time; she indeed had used him.
"I...I was just trying to stand up for your employee. This matter, you...It wasn’t entirely for myself."
She tried to argue, though fully aware that her ability to argue was far inferior to his.
As expected, Gu Beicheng scoffed lightly: "Then I should thank you, for helping me ruin a major client, right?"
"Do you care?" Xia Yinian blinked, suddenly feeling uneasy.
Today, when she was looking at the documents, she indeed saw the words ’Le Family’.
It was Tang Fei who asked her to photocopy them. She didn’t really pay much attention, but, one big advantage she had was her incredibly strong memory.
The things she saw once, besides faces and directions, she could generally remember textual descriptions.
The Le Family really was a major client of the Imperial Group, with annual transactions amounting to tens of billions.
Tens of billions... For someone poor like her, she wouldn’t even dare to dream of it, not in her entire life would she earn one percent of that.
"What do you think?" Is it not clear enough whether he cares or not?
His long fingers landed on her collar, his movements in unbuttoning her had already reached the realm of mastery.
Her chest felt cool; some constraint was suddenly released, Xia Yinian wanted to stop him, but it was too late.
"I don’t mind being used by you, but of course, I will reclaim what’s mine with interest, understand?"
"You... Mm!"
Her hand landed on his head, originally intending to push him away, but in the end, her long fingers just tightened in his thick, short hair.
If she had known the cost of using him would be so tragic, she would never dare, not even if she died!
"You... You promised, you wouldn’t... you wouldn’t really take me."
At the critical moment, she still remembered the promise he once gave her.
Gu Beicheng’s gaze deepened, becoming impenetrable.
A promise? Go to hell! Damn it, he never, ultimately promises!
If only he knew, that whatever one-month agreement should never have been signed with her. One month, it’s just too long.
The temperature in the office rose higher and higher, the man’s heavy breathing fell on her body, uncomfortably hot.
His voice grew more and more hoarse, radiating a thick sensuality that was dangerously alluring.
"Fine, I don’t want you."
Xia Yinian hadn’t even relaxed when suddenly her chest tightened, and she almost screamed.
