The Billionaire's Priceless Darling: 33 Days of the CEO's Pursuit - Chapter 124 - Reliving Last Night? 1

Li Juefeng’s cold gaze lingered on Gu Xiaoai’s lips, still bearing faint traces of last night’s bruises. This woman, so slender and delicate in his arms, had somehow managed to stir something within him-a fleeting moment of pain in his heart.

That moment had driven him to storm out after hearing the doctor’s diagnosis: she had fainted due to… excessive intimacy. The words had echoed in his mind as he sped recklessly through the silent, empty streets late at night.

Excessive intimacy.

The phrase loomed large in his thoughts, mocking him. He had never considered himself as twisted as Gu Xiaoai might think, yet he had done every twisted thing imaginable to her.

Rape.

Imprisonment.

If he were honest with himself, was he truly trying to shatter the pride she carried? Was this all revenge for the disdain and indifference she had shown him years ago?

It felt like something was slipping off course.

And he, a man who thrived on control, could not allow anything to deviate from his grasp.

Gu Xiaoai-

She should never have been the one to unsettle him.

“Li Juefeng, say something!” Her voice broke through his thoughts. His unrelenting stare, dark and unfathomable, sent a chill down her spine. Her hands, resting on her knees, slowly clenched into fists as she tried to summon her courage.

Ever since witnessing him assault someone at the police station, a new fear had taken root in her. Fear of this man who seemed capable of anything.

Getting involved with him had been the most foolish mistake of her life. And now, breaking free from him? She knew all too well how impossible that would be.

“Heh. Gu Xiaoai, your naivety is almost laughable.” After a moment, Li Juefeng let out a derisive chuckle.

Her face turned pale. “What do you mean? What exactly do you want?”

What did he want?

He wanted to brand her, completely and irrevocably, with his mark.

He wanted her to surrender entirely, to kneel at his feet, to be his plaything.

Yes, that had been his goal from the very beginning.

Li Juefeng’s gaze shifted to housekeeper Tong, standing quietly to the side. Like a king issuing a decree, his voice was calm yet commanding. “Bring the doctor in.”

“Yes, Mr. Li.”
