The Billionaire's Priceless Darling: 33 Days of the CEO's Pursuit - Chapter 23 - She Went to Beg Him 1

At first, she thought he was just a wealthy heir, a typical spoiled young man. She had no idea his background was so expansive. Had she known, she would have never agreed to some so-called equivalent exchange.

Becoming a mistress…

It was all just a trap he had set, waiting for her to step right into it.

He manipulated the fishing line, reeling in and letting out at will, while she foolishly took the bait.

A cunning and devious man.

Gu Xiaoai cursed him bitterly in her heart as she shifted her position on the sofa in the living room. The housekeeper Tong came over once again, replacing her tea with a fresh cup as she politely said, “Miss Gu, Mr. Li’s schedule for returning home is often unpredictable.”

The implication was that waiting longer might be pointless.

Gu Xiaoai understood. If she didn’t leave, the servants wouldn’t be able to rest.

“Then I’ll come back tomorrow to wait for him,” Gu Xiaoai said with a polite smile. She stood up and walked toward the door.

For several days in a row, Gu Xiaoai waited but still didn’t see Li Juefeng. The court date was fast approaching, and her uncle was so anxious about the lawsuit that he was losing what little hair he had left.

Just because she didn’t go to him that Tuesday night, Li Juefeng decided to give her such a hard time.

Such a petty man.

When Gu Xiaoai once again left the Li Family villa empty-handed, she suddenly remembered the unknown number Li Juefeng had used to call her before. She hurriedly dug it out and dialed, waiting with a glimmer of hope.

The call connected, but the other end remained silent.

Gu Xiaoai bit her lip, cleared her throat, and tried to make her voice sound softer. “Mr. Li, it’s me, Gu Xiaoai.”

This tone… even she found it disgustingly fake.

After a moment of silence, Li Juefeng’s cold voice finally came through. “I don’t know who you are.”

“…” Gu Xiaoai was speechless.

Sick pervert! Deadbeat scumbag! Jerk!

Just as she was about to come up with some kind of response, his icy voice cut in again. “Before eleven o’clock, come to Summer Night. Don’t keep me waiting.”

…

Can’t he ever say something pleasant?!

Gu Xiaoai glanced at the time. There were only about twenty minutes left. “Summer Night” was the most luxurious nightclub and entertainment venue in the city. Of course, he would know how to enjoy himself there.

It was her first time entering a nightclub. The deafening voices of the crowd and the pounding, bass-heavy music drowned out everything else.

Sensuous dancers swayed like water snakes around the poles, their pale thighs catching the vibrant lights of different colors, drawing waves of wild, frenzied cheers. On the dance floor, men and women danced with abandon.
