Chapter 816 - 819: Luo Xi Disappears Without a Trace 7
Gu Shaocheng’s eyes were brewing a tempest, the ominous glint from them threatening to engulf her.
Chenxing’s slight frame shrank, still looking at him with beseeching eyes.
Such a gaze, in fact, he found it irritating to the eye.
The atmosphere remained tense and unmoving.
The hotel manager, in a panic, ran over, "Sir, sir, please calm down."
With his home gone and his parents in this man’s hands, Xia Jianqing truly disregarded life and death, his mind now fixated on how to infuriate the man before him, "If you have the guts, shoot me now, or I will fight you to the death for the rest of my life!"
Seeing the deadlock continue, the hotel manager took out his mobile phone to dial the police.
Among the two men, the manager only recognized one, Xia Jianqing, Miss Miyai’s boyfriend who had been frequently visiting the hotel lately. They couldn’t afford to offend Miss Miyai, but seeing the other man holding the gun, his whole demeanor exuded wealth and dominance. Without knowing his background, one could still guess he was no ordinary person, so the manager didn’t even think to immediately call the police, nor did he summon the hotel’s security.
Could Gu Shaocheng really use up a bullet to end a nuisance?
But as his gaze fell upon the woman’s eyes, he knew that if he fired that bullet, the satisfaction would be fleeting. It would allow a man he’d finally driven away to forever reside in her heart, be it out of guilt or whatever emotion, preventing him from ever daring to leave!
That was the sole reason he hadn’t touched Xia Jianqing!
The next second, he holstered his gun, took her hand, and walked quickly towards the elevator.
In the time waiting for the elevator, he ruthlessly tossed the dessert bag he was holding into the trash bin.
Chenxing, with her scalp tingling, stood beside him, not even daring to let out a breath.
Time, though just a few seconds, felt unbearable.
With a ding, the elevator doors opened, and she rushed in first, keeping her distance. It seemed to her that she saw Jianqing smiling at her for the last time, his smiling face extremely distasteful to her.
With a ding, the elevator doors closed again, and he stood there, silent and cold as iron.
Not until they were back in the room did he suddenly drag her into the bathroom, filled the bath, and forcefully scrubbed her mouth with a towel, causing it to ache from the roughness.
"He didn’t kiss me, really, you have to believe me, he was just trying to rile you up," she pleaded.
Gu Shaocheng, with utter contempt in his voice, threw the towel onto the washbasin, "Take off these clothes now!"
"I really didn’t..."
Her words were cut off midway as Gu Shaocheng quickly stripped her naked, wrapped her in a bathrobe, carried her back to the bedroom, pressed down upon her, his mood improving slightly, and with a heavy snort, he said, "I know, you don’t need to explain!"
"..."
"Even though I know it’s impossible, even though it was all just an act, watching you in someone else’s embrace, I couldn’t stand it. Chenxing, I really wanted to kill him!"
Chenxing carefully met his gaze: "Do you believe me?"
Gu Shaocheng knocked on her forehead forcefully, "We’ve known each other for so long, how could I not believe you? But you little troublemaker, you let him hold you! You even pleaded on his behalf, I wanted so badly to smack your butt hard! Don’t you know that your body is only for me to touch?"
Chenxing breathed a silent sigh of relief, biting her lip, "Do you really trust me? You scared me to death."
