“Come down!”


  Gu Qingcheng’s voice was so loud that even Guan Nina, who was beside Yun Liuli, heard him.

  That voice was so deep it sounded like it could seep through a person, and it was especially magnetic and pleasant-sounding!

  Guan Nina nodded at Yun Liuli maniacally, and her eyes lit up as if she had conjured some bad idea in her head.

  “Okay!”


  After Yun Liuli hung up the phone, Guan Nina directly pressed Yun Liuli upon the bed and said, “Liuli, believe me! That man is here because of that kiss today! Do you want to show him something more exciting?”


  Hearing this, Yun Liuli’s heart started racing. She nodded.

  “Hehe… then let me plant a kiss mark on your neck. Let him misunderstand that we’ve done you-know-what, how’s that?”


  “This…”


  Seeing Yun Liuli hesitate, Guan Nina wanted to settle things asap, so without waiting for Yun Liuli’s consent, she buried her head in Yun Liuli’s neck area and sucked on three spots.

  “Don’t feel embarrassed. Later, when you get into a relationship, I’ll just go explain things to him! But such aggravation is necessary!” Guan Nina said seriously to Yun Liuli. “Come on! I have faith in you! I’ll be watching you from upstairs!”


  Yun Liuli was on tenterhooks. Finally, she put on a jacket and walked downstairs.

  Gu Qingcheng’s car was right at the entrance of the female hostel. The leggy Gu Qingcheng stood beside the car, both hands in his pockets. His suit jacket was unbuttoned, revealing the stiff collar of his white shirt inside. There was an accumulated rage in his deep eyes, and his mature and powerful aura induced fear in others.

  The girls coming out of the female hostel couldn’t help but turn around to look at Gu Qingcheng. After all, his appearance and aura were enough to attract eyeballs. Add to that the luxurious car next to him… and it made the imagination of those girls who were still in the ivory tower run wild.

  With her brows furrowed slightly, Yun Liuli zipped up her jacket, hiding the kiss marks sucked by Guan Nina. She placed both hands into her jacket pockets, then walked out of the building.

  She walked to Gu Qingcheng with her head lowered, looking down.

  Gu Qingcheng’s voice was chilly. “Raise your head!”


  Yun Liuli’s hands clenched inside her pockets. She raised her head and looked at Gu Qingcheng. “Why did you come here at this hour, Uncle Qingcheng… is something the matter?”


  “That girl called Guan Nina, what’s the deal between the two of you?” Gu Qingcheng still couldn’t believe that Yun Liuli would get together with a girl. “Even if you’re chummy, how can you not know what you can and can’t do! To be using this method, are you spiting others, or are you degrading yourself?”


  When Gu Qingcheng spoke, he was restraining the fury in his mature voice, and even the veins on his temples were popping.

  Seeing the way Gu Qingcheng’s face was tensed up as he restrained his anger, Yun Liuli’s eyes turned red. Feeling aggrieved, she stiffened her neck and said, “Uncle Qingcheng, you aren’t me. You don’t know if I’m trying to spite someone, if I’m degrading myself, or if I have truly fallen for the girl… You can’t make speculations based on nothing!”


  Seeing the way Gu Qingcheng’s masseter muscle was tensed up, Yun Liuli continued, “I merely lost faith in men. In this world, only girls’ hearts are tender, unlike a man’s… No matter how hard I tried, I wasn’t able to melt a man’s heart! But you only need to treat a girl slightly better… just a tiny bit better, and a girl will give her all for the relationship, even if others see this relationship as immoral! Even if it means being plagued by gossip! The two of us… aren’t afraid!”


  Gu Qingcheng’s gaze turned increasingly dark. He accidentally saw the fresh kiss marks on Yun Liuli’s neck and paused, then raised a hand to tug at Yun Liuli’s collar.

  The kiss marks… were exposed completely before Gu Qingcheng’s eyes.

  A “weng” sound went off in Gu Qingcheng’s brain.

  That night, Yun Liuli had said… if he didn’t want her kiss, she would give it to someone else! If he didn’t want her young body, she would also give it to someone else. Those words surfaced in Gu Qingcheng’s brain.

  Gu Qingcheng’s grip on Yun Liuli’s collar tightened. He tugged hard at Yun Liuli’s collar, and even though he was overwhelmed by emotions internally, he appeared calm on the surface.

  Yun Liuli felt sheepish when she saw the blood vessels in Gu Qingcheng’s eyes.

  After god knows how long…


  “Yun Liuli…” Gu Qingcheng called out Yun Liuli’s name solemnly. “You have let down your father’s expectations of you!”


  Gu Qingcheng let go, trying hard to contain the immense fury inside of him.

  Yun Liuli, who was almost lifted up just now, retreated two steps…


  The blood vessels in Gu Qingcheng’s eyes were apparent. His throat vibrated slightly, and his voice was deep. “You gave up on yourself for an old man who is undeserving of you. Yun Liuli… you have let down your father’s expectations of you!”


  Yun Liuli’s throat vibrated. As she looked at Gu Qingcheng’s disappointed gaze that felt like it might just penetrate through her, she almost confessed the truth to Gu Qingcheng…


  A chilly breeze blew past. Gu Qingcheng forced himself to calm down and opened the car door. “Get into the car!”


  “For what?” Yun Liuli’s voice was raspy.

  “Sending you overseas!” Gu Qingcheng’s voice was cold.

  Yun Liuli subconsciously retreated a step. “Why are you sending me overseas? I’m not leaving!”


  “That girl called Guan Nina, her family is in the textile business… If the dyes of her family’s business don’t pass the test, and they can’t fulfill the orders on time with the textiles dyed with this dye, what do you think will happen?”


  Gu Qingcheng was making a blatant threat.

  “Gu Qingcheng!” Yun Liuli clenched her fists by her sides.

  “Get into the car!” Gu Qingcheng no longer wished to speak with Yun Liuli.

  In front of Gu Qingcheng, so long as he didn’t spoil and indulge Yun Liuli, there was nothing she could threaten him with.

  Yun Liuli knew that if she were to say something like she couldn’t leave Guan Nina and didn’t wish to leave, she would be adding oil to fire!

  Guan Nina was dragged into this mess because of Yun Liuli, so she mustn’t implicate Guan Nina.

  Yun Liuli’s body stiffened as she stood there and gazed at Gu Qingcheng. The two of them were in a stalemate… The bypassing students couldn’t resist looking in Yun Liuli and Gu Qingcheng’s direction.

  “Liuli, why are you downstairs?”


  Ye Yingying’s crisp and clear voice broke the silence.

  Yun Liuli looked at Ye Yingying. Ye Yingying walked over and glanced at Gu Qingcheng. She had thought that Gu Qingcheng was Yun Liuli’s family member, so she walked over and nodded at him as a form of greeting, then said, “According to your orders, I bought you and Guan Nina a packet of fried noodles!”


  “Mm!” Yun Liuli nodded.

  “Then, I’ll directly give you the fried noodles. Du Yingzi is still waiting for me at the entrance. We’re planning on returning to the hostel after eating together, lest we get choked on your sweetness!”


  Yun Liuli took the noodles from her, and Ye Yingying cast a timid glance at Gu Qingcheng, mouthing the words “so handsome” before running away.
