Tyrannical Tycoon Haunts Me Relentlessly-Chapter 103: Beauty Lasts Only Three Seconds

Xia Yinian was so scared that she jumped, hastily retreating from the balcony back into the room.

With a bang, she closed the sliding glass door, and then whoosh, she even pulled the curtains shut.

But even with the window and curtains between them, why could she still feel the intensity of his burning gaze?

That man was truly too frightening!

Now, just upon seeing him, Xia Yinian would feel a swelling pain in her chest.

She rubbed it subconsciously, and sure enough, it still hurt a little.

That demon, indeed a harmful spirit!

Returning to the bedside, seeing that swimsuit on the bed, Xia Yinian felt a little reluctant to go down.

Gu Beicheng was on the beach; if she went down, would she be bullied by him again?

But below... it seemed like a lot of fun!

Xia Yinian was, after all, just eighteen, and eighteen was still an age for playfulness.

She really wanted to join in!

Suddenly, a knock on the door came from outside.

Xia Yinian quickly went to answer it; outside, a maid smiled and said, "Miss Niannian, Young Master Ling asked me to bring you a swimsuit."

...

Xia Yinian had been hiding in her room and not coming out, so Gu Lingqian thought that she had forgotten her swimsuit.

When Xia Yinian came out wearing the swimsuit he sent, Gu Lingqian, who was standing on the deck, was dazzled; a little... unable to shift his gaze.

The swimsuit was relatively conservative, less revealing than those worn by the girls on the beach.

But those round, smooth shoulders, the fair and lustrous chest, the slender waist not full enough to grasp, and those long, fair legs...

Most women find their belly buttons unattractive, hence girls usually like to adorn them with decorations to cover the unsightly parts.

But Xia Yinian had done nothing, leaving her belly button exposed.

Her pink belly button turned out to be so appealing!

It was soft and playful, yet there was also a sense of... allure.

Gu Lingqian scarcely managed to find his voice, looking at the girl approaching him, feeling as if his throat was parched.

He had always known she was beautiful, just that he never thought of anything happening between them, after all, it was only an agreement.

Right, just an agreement.

He averted his eyes and turned his face away, his voice still a bit hoarse: "You’ve been a while, it’s getting dark, still want to go swimming?"

"Of course I do." Xia Yinian quickened her steps toward him.

Suddenly, she tripped over something underfoot, and before she could even scream, she had already plunged towards the ground.

Gu Lingqian, because he was purposefully avoiding looking at her, failed to rescue her immediately.

And so, with a thud, a certain girl fell face-first to the ground, her expression one of agony.

Hearing the noise, Gu Lingqian looked back and saw the girl’s awkward struggle to get up from the ground.

For an instant, his feelings were indescribably complex.

Was the saying "beauty lasts only three seconds" about her?

The elegance and perfection of just a moment ago, indeed, it was too much for him to hope for.

He walked over, pulling her up: "Can you be any more careless?"

"It’s all because you rushed me," murmured Xia Yinian with pouted lips, her face full of grievance.

Her elbow was injured from the fall, so painful!

"Let me see." He stooped down, lifting her arm.

Xia Yinian let him help rub her elbow, the two of them standing so close together that, from the direction of the boat stairs, it appeared as though they were in an embrace.

Suddenly, Xia Yinian felt a chill, an inexplicable frost enveloping her.

Looking up, she saw a tall figure at the stairs, frost covered everywhere!
