Chapter 6 : Seeking Sympathy by Pretending to be Miserable?

  • Qin Yanzheng sat in his office chair, twirling a pen between his slender fingers, exuding an air of confidence and control.
  • The corners of the man's thin and cold lips curled with mockery, his gaze burning like a torch.
  • "Gu Huan, why should I agree to your request?"
  • Does this woman have some kind of delusional thinking?
  • Knowing that this would be his answer, Gu Nian bit her lip, her delicate eyebrows furrowing and then relaxing.
  • "You will agree..." Gu Nian's voice lacked conviction.
  • Ha.
  • The cold sarcasm on Qin Yanzheng's lips intensified.
  • "Get out, don't make me repeat myself!" Qin Yanzheng began to dismiss her.
  • Gu Nian stood in place, her face burning as if she had been slapped.
  • There was no doubt that Qin Yanzheng had no intention of going back with her.
  • Enduring the pain in her feet, she had come back to find Qin Yanzheng, but she didn't expect such heartless words from him.
  • Gu Nian waited outside for a long time.
  • Tonight, it was only Gu Nian and Qin Yanzheng having dinner at the Qin family's house. Since Qin Yanzheng came back, he had been staying in the study and hadn't come out.
  • During this time, Gu Jianfeng's phone kept ringing.
  • "Dinner is about to start, why haven't you brought her back? Gu Nian, the fate of your mother's company rests on your shoulders! Think about it!" Gu Jianfeng threatened harshly.
  • Only a few beeps were heard before the call was hung up.
  • Gu Nian sat expressionless.
  • Ha, the fate of her mother's company? Gu Jianfeng really knew how to use her weak spot to threaten her!
  • Qin Yanzheng had brought back a lot of work today, and he felt hungry after dealing with it.
  • During this time, Gu Huan didn't come to cause trouble.
  • "Knock, knock." Someone knocked on the door.
  • Qin Yanzheng's eyebrows twitched, and he heard the voice of a servant.
  • "Fourth Young Master, dinner is ready. Are you going to eat?" The servant had kept the dinner warm, fearing that Qin Yanzheng would get hungry after finishing his work.
  • It was actually not Gu Huan, the woman, who came to knock on the door. It was quite rare.
  • Qin Yanzheng replied and got up to leave.
  • "Madam has been waiting for you in the living room since a while ago." Seeing Qin Yanzheng's gaze sweeping to the side, the servant immediately understood.
  • Qin Yanzheng's steps paused.
  • She had been waiting for him all this time? Was Gu Huan not going to give up until she achieved her goal?
  • Did she think her acting skills were good enough to fool him?
  • Qin Yanzheng went to the living room and indeed saw Gu Huan sitting there.
  • When Gu Nian saw Qin Yanzheng, a glimmer of light appeared in her eyes. She stood up, ignoring the pain in her feet, and hurriedly said, "Can you accompany me back to the Gu family? Even if we don't eat, I just want to see them."
  • "You haven't given up on this ridiculous idea of yours?"
  • "Who do you think you are? This morning, it was just to save face for Grandma. It's best if we don't interfere with each other. Don't let me catch you doing anything wrong!" Qin Yanzheng had seen many women like Gu Huan before, pretending to be innocent and pure on the surface but actually being extremely cunning behind his back!
  • Gu Nian's heart sank.
  • Of course, she knew that Qin Yanzheng was doing this to consider Qin Grandma's face, and she had no intention of making Qin Yanzheng fall in love with her. But the way he spoke made Gu Nian very uncomfortable!
  • Seeing Qin Yanzheng turning to leave, Gu Nian quickly grabbed his sleeve.
  • Qin Yanzheng turned around, his cold gaze sweeping down Gu Nian's hand.
  • The suffocating atmosphere between the two dissipated.
  • "Let go of your hand." When Qin Yanzheng said this, it was obvious that he was angry.
  • He hated it when others touched him!
  • Before Gu Nian could react, she was thrown aside by Qin Yanzheng. Her already sprained foot was further injured from the fall!
  • "Ah!" Gu Nian cried out in pain.
  • At this moment, Qin Yanzheng noticed that Gu Nian's ankle was already swollen to a certain extent!
  • When did this woman sprain her foot?
  • But this thought only lingered in Qin Yanzheng's mind for half a second.
  • "Gu Huan, are you trying to gain sympathy by pretending to be miserable?"
