This was Li Juefeng-arrogant, domineering, and utterly unreasonable. When he felt like it, he could treat you well; when he didn’t, he could slap you across the face without hesitation.
So, Gu Xiaoai, don’t be fooled by appearances.
Gu Xiaoai silently closed her eyes, offering no resistance as she endured his torment.
Li Juefeng ravaged her with reckless abandon. In his line of sight, her soft face had turned slightly pale, as if she had resigned herself to her fate.
Suddenly, Li Juefeng stopped. He asked her, word by word, “Gu Xiaoai, are you afraid you might fall in love with me?”
The person in his arms trembled all over, confirming his suspicion.
So, the fallen Young Lady was afraid of him being good to her…
Gu Xiaoai slowly opened her eyes and stared into his. She responded, word by word, “I won’t fall in love with you.”
“You will.”
“I won’t.”
“You will,” Li Juefeng said through gritted teeth. “Say ‘no’ one more time, and I’ll force myself on you!”
“…” Gu Xiaoai couldn’t hold her ground anymore. How could she possibly stand firm against a beast ready to pounce at any moment? She’d only end up losing.
Love wasn’t something he could control with his power or violence-it was her choice to make.
Even if she couldn’t protect her body, she could at least guard her heart.
“Sit still. I’ll dry your hair.” Li Juefeng’s mood swung unpredictably. His anger dissipated, and he picked up the hair dryer to continue drying her hair, his movements now gentler than before.
She feared his kindness toward her.
So he deliberately treated her well, curious to see how long she could keep up her resistance.
“Chairman Chu Tianming of Chu’s Company is hosting a grand birthday banquet for his son, Chu Shixiu. Mayor Liang is attending with his daughter,” the reporter’s voice echoed from the television in the entertainment room.
“Rumors have been circulating that Chu Shixiu and Mayor Liang’s daughter, Liang Nuannuan, are soon to be engaged. Judging by tonight’s event, the rumors seem to be true. This high-profile union between politics and business-will it win public approval?”
The familiar figures on the screen entered Gu Xiaoai’s line of sight.
At the grand hotel banquet, Chu Shixiu was dressed in an elegant white tailcoat, his arm wrapped around Liang Nuannuan’s waist as they toasted the guests. His face carried a consistently poised and graceful smile, and he occasionally leaned down to whisper to Liang Nuannuan.
A perfect couple-talented man, beautiful woman, envied by all.
So happy, so picturesque.
Gu Xiaoai stared at the screen, her lips pressed tightly together until they formed a pale, thin line.
“What’s this? Interested in news about this political-business union?” Li Juefeng asked casually, continuing to dry her hair while glancing at the television screen she was fixated on.
