The Billionaire's Priceless Darling: 33 Days of the CEO's Pursuit - Chapter 174 - Women Are Cherished When They Are Gentle 2

Gu Xiaoai’s complexion was already poor, and her feigned weakness added a genuine touch of weariness to her face. These past few days, he hadn’t been particularly kind to her. But it was her own doing; if she would just go along with him, things would be fine. Instead, she insisted on being stubborn and opposing him.

Li Juefeng was about to unleash his anger, but seeing her, the words caught in his throat. He bent down and got into the car, instinctively reaching out to check her forehead. His tone was still harsh, but he refrained from scolding her further, saying coldly, “To the hospital.”

“Yes, Mr. Li.”

Phew…

Gu Xiaoai secretly breathed a sigh of relief; she had managed to pass this hurdle. She feared Li Juefeng would explode like an enraged lion, which would mean more trouble for her.

“What rubbish are you holding?” Li Juefeng’s gaze fell on the paper block in her hand, and he frowned, snatching it away.

Chu Shixiu’s number.

Oh no.

It would be disastrous if this man discovered it.

Gu Xiaoai looked at Li Juefeng in panic, terrified he might unfold the paper. She didn’t dare to snatch it back, holding her breath in tense silence.

Li Juefeng didn’t notice Gu Xiaoai’s sudden change in expression. He toyed with the paper block in his hand, his long fingers deftly manipulating it with a casual elegance.

Gu Xiaoai, however, was anxiously holding her breath, her eyes fixed unblinkingly on the paper in his hand.

“Gu Xiaoai, aren’t you a bit childish? Playing with paper at your age?” Li Juefeng mocked coldly, then pressed the car window button and tossed the paper block out…

The paper block traced an arc through the air before landing in a roadside trash can.

Crisis averted.

Gu Xiaoai’s tense nerves relaxed, and she leaned weakly against Li Juefeng. Perhaps his fierce and violent demeanor had frightened her too many times; now, whenever Li Juefeng raised his voice, she instinctively went into high alert.

At this rate, she truly didn’t know what she would become.

“Why are you suddenly so obedient?” Li Juefeng glanced down at Gu Xiaoai leaning against his shoulder, surprised by her initiative to lean into him. A satisfied smile unknowingly curved at his lips.
