Deception
Looking at Gu Jingyuan, who had said those words so seriously, Qin Se’s brain began malfunctioning... how could this conversation continue? What else could she say?!
She opened her mouth, moved her lips a few times, but didn’t know what to say next.
Was she just too stupid to understand the words coming out from a genius?
Or was it that geniuses were never on the same channel as them mediocre people?
Qin Se felt as though she had entered a pit and didn’t know how to climb out of it.
She moved a little closer to Gu Jingyuan and asked, “Uncle, are you afraid that... I will threaten you with it? You can rest assured that I am a woman of principle, and I will never tarnish your reputation. In the future, I will totally respect you and treat you filially as my own uncle. What do you think of that?”
Gu Jingyuan observed her face, which was only inches away from him, up close. He leaned his body forward, inching closer toward her. “No way!”
He was so close that his warm breath fell upon Qin Se’s face as he said those two words. The sensation caused her to be dazed for a second.
Qin Se gulped nervously. “Then... what do you want?”
She regretted it deeply. What had gotten into her that day?! Why had she not thought of the consequences?!
This man was Gu Jingyuan! How had she dared to put her hands on him?! He could use a scalpel to slice her up anytime!
Gu Jingyuan’s cold gazed moved slowly from Qin Se’s face and fixed on her neck for a second. His stare scared the hell out of Qin Se, and she gulped violently. She felt as though her brain and body were about to get separated.
The good thing was that Gu Jingyuan didn’t stare at her neck for too long. His eyes continued to trace her body without emotion. It was indifferent, yet unrestrained, like an emperor who was patrolling his territory, not holding back.
Finally, his gaze stopped recklessly at her chest.
Qin Se’s face began to heat up. She held her breath, stammering, “Uncle… it’s... it’s broad daylight. We are in the car... no. It’s not appropriate... we can’t continue this. Uncle, think about it, how crucial your reputation is...”
Gu Jingyuan reached his hand out toward her chest. At that moment, Qin Se’s face reddened, and she thought to herself,
‘Should I slap him or lie down to cooperate? Which one would be the best response?!’
Maybe she should just go with the latter. After all, Gu Jingyuan might kill her if she slapped him. Lying down was a much better option. The only downside was that it was downright shameless!
Nevertheless...
Gu Jingyuan’s long and delicate hands, which were fair and beautiful, stopped in front of her chest and buttoned up a button that had opened up.
Qin Se’s face instantly turned red.
She had been overthinking it. Gu Jingyuan was a decent man after all.
She said with a red face, “Thank you, Uncle... you are truly a good man!”
Gu Jingyuan slowly looked up and took his hand back. His hands didn’t stay in front of her chest for too long, but Qin Se wondered if it was her illusion—the moment Gu Jingyuan withdrew his hand, had he brushed her breast a little?
Qin Se threw a quick glance at Gu Jingyuan’s stoic cold face, and she secretly said to herself,
‘Well, stop imagining things! What are you thinking about?! That there would be seconds after the first?’
The car suddenly made a sharp turn, and Qin Se’s body was unceremoniously thrown into Gu Jingyuan’s arms. The part where her hand landed was indescribable.
The driver hurriedly apologized, “My apologies Mr. Gu and Miss Qin. There was a cat…”
Qin Se quickly came back to her senses. She was so frightened that she hurriedly tried to pull herself away. However, she could barely move, for a pair of strong hands were clenched on her waist tightly, preventing her from retreating.
She tried hard to keep her face away from Gu Jingyuan’s chest, and she trembled as she said, “Sorry Uncle, it was an accident... purely an accident...”
Gu Jingyuan sneered, “You wanted to treat me as your biological uncle, and yet, here you are, trying to seduce me?”
