CHAPTER 43: CHAPTER 43: WHERE DO I NEED TO REPORT TO YOU

Gu Yan stared blankly at the man in front of her, her previously blurred vision gradually becoming clear, and she clearly saw the man’s cold, stern face.

In that instant, her muddled mind became incredibly clear and the man’s name popped into her head, Tang Yuxiu.

Tang Yuxiu had just come out to use the restroom, and as soon as he turned the corner, he was bumped into by someone coming straight at him.

His notorious cleanliness habit was about to flare up, but he froze when he saw who was in front of him.

It was the first time he’d seen Gu Yan in such a sorry state.

Her hair was disheveled, her cheeks were red and swollen with visible blood traces, her lips were chapped with slight blood oozing out.

Her shirt had two buttons broken on the upper body, revealing her right shoulder and half of her chest, with red marks extending from her shoulder to her neck, as if someone had strangled her.

Her left hand clutched tightly onto a crossbody bag.

In contrast, her right hand was trembling as it held a sharp, shattered wine bottle stained with blood.

The sight of her was strikingly shocking.

Although her legs seemed weak and shook violently, she still stood strong.

You Shuyang was standing right behind Tang Yuxiu, equally shocked as he was.

Tang Yuxiu looked into her eyes, as if seeing a shocked version of himself. In her eyes, there was panic, surprise, and even shame and embarrassment.

It had only been two days since they last met, and not only had she appeared at Shengshi, but she had also gotten herself into such a mess.

"Over here!" The corridor suddenly resounded with chaotic footsteps, followed by someone shouting as they ran in this direction.

Gu Yan was startled, and her trembling hand suddenly released the wine bottle. Without caring for anything else, she stumbled and ran to Tang Yuxiu’s side, clutching his arm tightly, looking at him helplessly and pleadingly, "I beg you, save me!"

When her touch hit him, his unbearable cleanliness compulsively made him push her away, and a hint of disgust naturally showed between his brows.

Gu Yan’s icy heart couldn’t grow any colder; she retreated powerlessly, realizing that no one would save her and that she couldn’t escape.

Leaning against the wall, she closed her eyes in despair, looking completely lifeless.

Seeing her like this, Tang Yuxiu felt a sudden jolt in his heart.

"Slut! Let’s see where you run to now!" President Liu’s furious voice was already ringing in her ears, "Bring her back for me!"

As President Liu’s men stepped forward on command, Gu Yan suddenly felt a warm coat drape over her shoulders and someone’s hand rest on her shoulder, pulling her into a cold yet firm embrace.

There was no repulsive smell of smoke or alcohol at the tip of her nose, only a cold fragrance, seemingly a natural aura of the person, completely pure.

Gu Yan opened her eyes wide in shock, staring at Tang Yuxiu.

Tang Yuxiu looked down at her calmly, his tall figure appearing lazy yet sharply confronting President Liu and his men.

President Liu and his men were all stunned by the man who suddenly intervened.

Gu Qin stared blankly at Tang Yuxiu, the man who unexpectedly broke into her line of sight, doing nothing and saying nothing, yet just by standing there, deeply attracted her.

Such elegance, such style, such a handsome man!

In her life, Gu Qin had never encountered such a charming man.

With just one glance, she was enamored and captivated.

"President, President Tang!" President Liu was the first to react, exclaiming in surprise.

Tang Yuxiu’s ink-black eyes swept past him, looking unfamiliar but extremely cold.

Unable to withstand his gaze, President Liu involuntarily took a step back.

"Why is President Tang here?"

"Do I need to report my whereabouts to you?" Tang Yuxiu asked blandly in response.
