CHAPTER 444: CHAPTER 412: TOO INFURIATING!!

Qiao Yuxian sat on the sofa, waving her fists a couple of times out of frustration, then got up and "flailed" her way to the door.

As she passed Gu Yanjing, he promptly held her in his arms.

His arm wrapped around Qiao Yuxian’s waist, as she reached out her arms, clawing at the... air near the door.

With great force.

As if she wished to slap and crack a huge crevice in the floor of the Gu Mansion.

Gu Yanjing embraced her, careful not to hurt her, pulling back her outstretched arms.

Immediately, Qiao Yuxian stretched out again, with such force that the veins on the back of her hands popped up.

Yet, the entire movement was silent.

A silent eruption.

Having no other choice, Gu Yanjing could only pick her up and carry her directly to the study.

In the study, closing the door.

Qiao Yuxian, as if her mute mode had been turned off, let out a small shout: "Ah! I’m so pissed off!"

As she spoke, she paced around in circles in the study.

"How can someone be so shameless? Guilty and still not cowering in shame, but daring to provoke! Who gave him the guts?"

After a circle, Qiao Yuxian pointed to herself in front of Gu Yanjing and said, "Me. I’m Qiao Yuxian. Growing up, I’ve only ever been the one to anger others. This is the first time someone was so brazenly in my face! And I didn’t even hit him. I didn’t hit him."

"You have no idea how arrogant he looked! He was practically saying that Gu Shuluo is not Yan Zhiyao, and what can you do about it? Even when he was like this, I still didn’t hit him."

Gu Yanjing watched her flustered demeanor.

"I couldn’t even refute him. Aside from saying I’m sure I can catch him, which held no intimidation, I couldn’t think of a single way to retaliate against him." Qiao Yuxian spoke as she circled the study again.

"If I hit him, I couldn’t even find a valid reason. Outsiders would see it as my fault, even accuse me of being disrespectful to my elders." Qiao Yuxian walked in front of Gu Yanjing again.

Gu Yanjing supported her chin with his palm, pinching her puffing cheeks, saying, "Mrs. Gu doesn’t need a reason to make a move, Mrs. Gu’s thoughts are the biggest reason. Anyone who dares to say another word, I’ll pull out their tongue."

A gentle yet extremely chilling sentence.

Qiao Yuxian’s temper, as if reaching the heavens, was suddenly appeased.

She looked at Gu Yanjing, without saying a word, slowly calmed down, and then stepped forward into Gu Yanjing’s embrace.

Gu Yanjing held her, kissing the top of her head.

Qiao Yuxian gripped the shirt at his waist, after a while, said, "I must catch Yan Zhiyao myself."

"Alright," Gu Yanjing replied.

"I must catch him, not only catch him, but I have to catch him to show Gu Linhai," Qiao Yuxian muttered, "Today’s grievance must be vented."

"Alright," Gu Yanjing said.

Qiao Yuxian said no more, obediently leaning against him.

After a while, Gu Yanjing pinched her ear and asked, "Hungry?"

"Hungry, very hungry," Qiao Yuxian said.

"Stay here for a while, I’ll get something to eat," Gu Yanjing said.

"Mhm."

Gu Yanjing went out, made a phone call outside.

The person on the other end quickly answered, speaking in a careless tone, "What does Mr. Gu need?"

"Qian’an Group," Gu Yanjing just said these four words.

The other party laughed, "Your second uncle’s company? What’s up with them? Are you going to make a move? Alright. To what extent?"

"Make him unable to laugh for the next two months," Gu Yanjing said.

"No problem," the other party agreed readily.

...

After eating, Qiao Yuxian read a book in the study, claiming it was for self-cultivation.

But Gu Yanjing noticed the sweet romance novel on her tablet and her irresistible smile of satisfaction mixed with excitement, questioning what kind of cultivation this was.

Qiao Yuxian even forbade him from disturbing her.

Not even a touch was allowed.

She even ran to the sofa to read specifically.

Gu Yanjing could only quietly handle some urgent work at the desk, occasionally glancing over at her.

But whenever he looked, he saw her staring at the tablet, smiling.

After finishing his work, Gu Yanjing walked up behind her, wanting to see what was making her smile so much.

But as soon as he stood behind her, she quickly closed the tablet, looking up at him.

Gu Yanjing calmly observed her slightly guilty expression and the smile still lingering on her face.

Qiao Yuxian blinked, swiped on the closed tablet a few times, closing the novel, and asked, "What is it?"

Gu Yanjing lowered his gaze at her, paused, and said, "I saw it."

Qiao Yuxian’s eyes widened instantly, standing up on the sofa.

Gu Yanjing’s gaze followed her movement upwards.

Standing on the sofa, Qiao Yuxian was able to look directly into Gu Yanjing’s eyes. She looked at him, opened her mouth several times but said nothing, though her face turned red.

Gu Yanjing looked at her red face and the flustered eyes, raising his eyebrow slightly.

Seeing his raised eyebrow, Qiao Yuxian said, "I don’t believe it. You definitely didn’t see."

Gu Yanjing looked at her.

He said nothing, but the calm, indifferent look in his eyes made it seem like he truly had seen.

Qiao Yuxian’s lips moved again, still unbelieving, "Impossible."

The movement of closing the tablet was so fast, and the words on it weren’t big, how could he have seen it?

Impossible.

After a wave of self-analysis, she concluded he hadn’t seen anything, so she asked, "Then tell me, what did you see?"

Gu Yanjing looked at her smug, confident expression, then slowly and faintly said, "Another round of a fierce crash..."

Starting from the second word he said, Qiao Yuxian, like a little fox whose tail was stepped on, was on the brink of an outburst.

Flustered and hurried, she stomped anxiously, then remembered to cover Gu Yanjing’s mouth.

With his mouth covered, Gu Yanjing looked at her.

The shallow, narrow eyes penetrating straight to one’s heart.

Looking into his eyes, Qiao Yuxian felt like a level ten storm was waging within her.

He really did see!

Not only did he see!

But he spoke it out loud!

And he said it so nonchalantly!

Such an intimate scene, such blush-inducing words, he spoke of so indifferently and coldly.

The way he said it made the mental image she conjured frozen over.

Gu Yanjing looked at her shy expression gradually turning a bit regretful.

He looked at her, and after a while, encircled her waist, lifting her from the sofa.

Qiao Yuxian was startled, instinctively wrapping her arms around his neck.

After picking her up, Gu Yanjing placed her on the sofa back, letting her sit there.

She had just settled, before she could react, Gu Yanjing leaned down and kissed her.

He kissed her fiercely, pressing down with some force.

Qiao Yuxian sat on the sofa back, with nothing behind her for support; Gu Yanjing deliberately provided no support, his hands lightly brushing along her legs without offering stability. Qiao Yuxian could only cling tightly to his neck.

Additionally, any slight move back and she risked falling; she could only press tightly against him.

Gu Yanjing thoroughly enjoyed her proactive approach, but after a while, Qiao Yuxian grew tired, loosening her grip and letting herself fall backward.

Seeing this, Gu Yanjing promptly embraced her, holding her tightly in his arms.

Their bodies pressed tightly together, but Qiao Yuxian leaned her head back to avoid Gu Yanjing’s kisses, then looked at him and laughed.

Gu Yanjing’s cool eyes seemed to blend with a hint of desire, like a clear ice dyed with a hint of mischievous red.

He closely watched her eyebrows and eyes, his breathing becoming increasingly heavy.

He felt as if her eye corners’ smile turned into enchantingly alluring charm.

The hand on her back gradually moved upward, cradling her neck, pulling her back in for another kiss...
