CHAPTER 112: CHAPTER 112: A RARE SIGHT

Until he finished tying his tie, the man didn’t speak. Gu Jiayin felt a little awkward and, upon raising her eyes, collided with the man’s deep, dark eyes, as if he had seen right through her thoughts. She suddenly felt terribly embarrassed.

But she quickly adjusted to show a bright smile, "You don’t like me accompanying you?"

Sheng Qianchi still didn’t speak, only chuckled lowly. This woman was always stingy with smiles and tenderness towards him, even just a little. Tonight, she wanted to use him, so she was proactively charming—truly a rare sight.

He suddenly leaned forward, pinned her against the dressing mirror, his lips almost touching hers, and audaciously sprayed his hot breath and kisses onto her face, "So eager, just to be my companion?"

Gu Jiayin wanted to avoid him, but there was no retreat, so she entangled her breath with his, "You don’t want to take me?"

Sheng Qianchi chuckled lowly, "Aren’t you always unwilling to go out with me, feeling humiliated when people call you my woman?"

Gu Jiayin could see that the man was intentionally making things difficult for her tonight. In the past, he would beg her to accompany him out, leading to her merciless refusals.

But tonight, she had to rely on him to board the Eagle Emperor Cruise, reach the Eagle Emperor’s senior echelon, and investigate the security secrets. Therefore, she maintained her smile patiently, "Humiliated or not, others will say it anyway, why should I care too much?"

"Ha!" Sheng Qianchi didn’t speak, watched her closely at this close distance, his eyes increasingly full of deep amusement. He never expected this woman to be so cute when pretending.

Perhaps his playful smile eroded her last bit of patience, she suddenly pushed him away, "If you won’t take me, I’ll find someone else. There are so many wealthy men in Licheng City, I think finding one to lean on isn’t a hard task for me... hmm."

Before finishing her sentence, she was forcefully confined in his embrace, followed by a torrential storm-like kiss.

She was a bit overwhelmed, and in her struggles, glanced at the mirror showing the two entwined kissing. His eyes were closed, domineering yet passionate and focused, unlike her who guardedly kept her eyes open.

He seemed to show deep affection.

She was a bit dazed.

Could such a man really be genuine in heart?

With the kiss ending, Sheng Qianchi slowly opened his eyes, finding the woman staring blankly at him, with a searching expression. He bit her punishingly, "Having a request from me, yet so inattentive for a mere kiss, how indifferent can you be, hmm?"

Gu Jiayin snapped back to reality, felt annoyed, pushed him away intending to leave, "I’ll find another man to take me."

Before taking a step, her wrist was suddenly seized firmly and forced back against the mirror.

This time, the man was angry, gritting his teeth as he stared at her, "Say again you’ll find another man, Gu Jiayin, do you believe I’ll strip you naked and do as I please, hmm?"

Gu Jiayin pouted, saying nothing; she realized that to conquer this man, she needed to suddenly attack his bottom line.

"Go change your dress!" Sheng Qianchi commanded coldly, "Also, at the gala, don’t look at other men, provoke one and I’ll crush one, provoke two and I’ll kill two, hmm?"

Gu Jiayin rolled her eyes at the man and walked out.

So ruthless, should she go provoke Qin Yiheng, the hypocritical bastard?

Thinking of Qin Yiheng, Gu Jiayin suddenly recalled Qin Mingxuan; his case had been judged. Normally, the process wouldn’t be so quick, but due to the major case and negative impact, the verdict was expedited and intensified.

The legal community rumored he would face twenty years in prison, but ultimately due to overwhelming public pressure, the court sentenced him to life imprisonment.

She knew this was all orchestrated by Sheng Qianchi.

Clearly, Sheng Qianchi indeed played hard; when he was fooling around with Qin Yishu, did he ever consider he had plunged her brother into such a dire situation?

...

On the way to the Eagle Emperor Cruise, Sheng Qianchi looked playfully at the woman beside him, with refined features, a red dress, each smile exuding allure.

She was like a prism; no matter how many angles he viewed her, he couldn’t see through her.

"So eager for me to take you to tonight’s gala, what are you planning?" he asked with a chuckle.

Gu Jiayin leisurely fiddled with her nails painted in pink as she masked her intentions just as subtly as he did,

"Eagle Emperor inexplicably auctioned me off, made a billion from me, now that I’m with such a rich and amazing sugar daddy like you, shouldn’t I go back and slap them in the face, get some revenge?"

"Hahaha..."

Sheng Qianchi laughed happily; when this woman played the lady, even strands of her hair demonstrated elegance and good education, yet when she got cheeky, she truly had the rogue style.

"As you wish." He reached to pull her into his arms, stroking her long hair dotingly, "Whose face do you want to slap, hmm?"

"Of course, the Eagle Emperor CEO."

Sheng Qianchi knew that she indeed wanted to slap the Eagle Emperor CEO in the face, but more likely, she wanted to pry safety secrets; nonetheless, he chose to continue indulging her, "Alright, walk horizontally tonight; if the sky falls, I’ll hold it up for you."

"Ha!" Gu Jiayin chuckled, "Shouldn’t I be grateful our contract relationship hasn’t ended yet?"

"Why don’t you consider maintaining our relationship or even progressing further, then you can always walk horizontally, hmm?"

"Sure, if tonight goes well, I can consider extending the contract for a month."

"Ha!" Sheng Qianchi laughed softly, pulling her into his arms, with his chin resting on her shoulder, "You really are hard to conquer, this woman."

She was hard to conquer; he knew this seven years ago, but that’s alright, the process was flavorful.

...

At such a high-end gala, Qin Zhennan was naturally among the invitees; he used to attend with Ye Zhilin, but because Ye Zhilin’s eyes went blind, he brought his pretty female secretary instead.

Sheng Qianchi brought Gu Jiayin onto the cruise just in time to meet Qin Zhennan, whose little secretary was adorably helping him adjust his tie knot.

Gu Jiayin lowered her head with a sneering smile, approached, "Dad."

Seeing Gu Jiayin, Qin Zhennan was very gloomy, since Qin Mingxuan would never return in this lifetime.

At that moment, Sheng Qianchi approached, affectionately embracing Gu Jiayin’s shoulders, Qin Zhennan immediately put on a flattering smile, "Young Master Chi, Jiayin, you both came."

Sheng Qianchi remained coldly silent, nodded as a response, but Gu Jiayin constantly thought about making Qin Zhennan uncomfortable, so she smiled even more brightly, "Dad, I heard Mingxuan’s case was judged."

Qin Zhennan’s smile froze on his face, his heart already cursed Gu Jiayin a million times.

Gu Jiayin shook her head regretfully, "Dad, this is the result of a doting mother spoiling her son, Aunt Ye truly failed in education."

Saying this, her eyes suddenly lit up, raising her voice, "Oh, I heard after Aunt Ye went blind, she once screamed she met my mother’s ghost."
