Chapter 237 - 239 Deaf? Or Mute? Speak Up! _1
God knows that after Gu Shaocheng ranted and raved, he thought venting would relieve him, but he didn’t feel any sense of relief at all. Instead, he felt like he was internally hemorrhaging.
She still didn’t react!
"Deaf? Or mute? Speak up!"
"..."
At that moment, the man’s facial expression darkened even more. The scripts he had been rehearsing in his heart, the meticulously crafted lines of love, the uncontrollable anguish — they all withered away like unattended flowers. In his mind, one understanding only grew clearer: she hated him! She didn’t even bother to converse with him! She was even reluctant to grant him a facial expression!
His eyes gradually dimmed, and his gaze shifted to the sky against his will, as if to manage the sense of loss. From the outside, he looked normal, but internally he was utterly shattered.
What to say?
How to say it?
Chenxing didn’t know; her brain seemed to have stopped working altogether.
Watching this man suddenly appear and hearing his disparaging remarks, she knew she should hit back or just turn and leave.
But her feet felt rooted to the ground. She couldn’t move.
She was dark from the sun, but she wasn’t ugly enough to frighten anyone. Everyone here was relatively dark complexioned. In a crowd of people with dark skin, she was just wheat-toned from the sun. Luo Xi even said her skin tone was sexy and healthy!
How did she become so ugly in his eyes?
Chenxing clenched her lips tightly, feeling a small sting in her heart. She wished she could cover her face with a cloth.
His expression was terrifying, staring at her fiercely. Was he sent from heaven just to intimidate and insult her?
At first, she thought... At first, her brain produced other information, and there was actually a glimmer of surprise. It was definitely not like this now... only now did she infer from his words that he came to take her back?
Chenxing thought Gu Shaocheng wanted to lock her up again.
Then she remembered the events of City E...
Fear, terror, mixed with pain, anger, disappointment, and hidden within it a longing she even denied herself...
In the end, she turned her head and sincerely thanked the man who had just saved her, "Thank you for saving me."
"Uh..." The subordinate’s face froze for a moment: "No...no need to thank, it’s all ordered by the gentleman." At that moment, the subordinate was feeling an indescribable upheaval, he looked like he was about to burst into tears.
Miss Chenxing, are you genuinely thanking me, or are you trying to indirectly eliminate me?
He had already been hit by the gentleman’s arrows of jealousy, not just one, but countless... oh, can he escape? ...Sir, I really didn’t mean to steal your thunder!
Gu Shaocheng knew his tone and attitude were terrible. As he was thinking of ways to save face he heard her thank a completely unrelated person!
His face turned livid instantly!
She actually thanked a supporting character, not uttering a word to him, the one who provided the directions. A simple ’thank you’ made him lose face in front of his subordinate!
Immediately, he reached out, grabbed her shoulder, and turned her face towards his. Lowering his gaze to meet hers, fooded by a sudden wave of anger, he bit down on her lips mercilessly. Regardless of Chenxing’s widened eyes in surprise, he bit down ferociously. Hearing the suppressed gasp in his ear, he suddenly felt devilishly satisfied. The taste of fresh blood finally calmed his rage!
