Tyrannical Tycoon Haunts Me Relentlessly-Chapter 284: Gu Lingqian, What Are You Doing?

Xia Yinian’s marks on her body were perfectly explained away tonight by Du Lei.

Actually, Xia Chuxue knew, the marks on her body definitely weren’t left by Du Lei.

After all, before Xia Yinian went out tonight, Xia Chuxue had already seen the bruises on her.

But now, saying anything would be groundless and only make her seem malicious, as if wanting to doom her own sister.

So, Xia Chuxue endured.

Xia Chuxue’s shrewdness, Xia Yinian recognized once again, was definitely deeper than she had imagined.

But now, how could she explain this to Gu Lingqian?

If she mentioned it, wouldn’t it be admitting that before being harassed by Du Lei, another man had already harassed her?

"Hmm?" Gu Lingqian raised his eyebrow, looking at her, "Is there something difficult you can’t speak of?"

Xia Yinian looked at him for a while, then nodded: "Yes."

Indeed, there were unspeakable difficulties, but to him, this was just concealment.

However, tonight, Gu Lingqian didn’t seem willing to let her off easily.

His residual anger was unquenched because the medicine packet could very likely have been intended for his drink.

Tonight he saw through her, she didn’t care whether she was with him or not, she only cared about the agreement.

Although, this was what she was supposed to do; after all, it was only meant to be an agreement relationship.

But, her indifferent attitude upset him inexplicably.

Very angry, very dissatisfied, and extremely frustrated.

"Even if there are unspeakable difficulties, if it concerns my interests, I must know."

Gu Lingqian narrowed his eyes, snorted, and said: "Or would you prefer I investigate it myself?"

Xia Yinian was pushed back against the table by him, with her back against the table, no way to retreat.

What was up with Gu Lingqian tonight? Similar situations had happened before, but generally, he wouldn’t probe further if she didn’t speak.

But this time, he seemed determined to dig to the bottom and clarify everything.

What’s really going on tonight?

"Are you angry?" She blinked, an innocent look on her face.

Gu Lingqian’s expression darkened, that innocent look indeed held great allure.

But now was not the time for that!

"Don’t try to change the subject!"

Xia Yinian was startled by his suddenly deep tone, she hadn’t meant to divert the topic; she really noticed that he was angry.

But, she didn’t know what he was angry about.

Trying to stand, she realized she was trapped between the table and his body.

Although he hadn’t leaned down or touched her, his cold breath already fell on her face.

"You... let me stand up first." Xia Yinian pushed him.

Gu Lingqian didn’t budge an inch.

Xia Yinian frowned, "At least let me know what you’re angry about. Are you angry that I agreed to Xia Chuxue?"

"I just agreed casually, aren’t I still trying to find a solution?"

She hadn’t even thought of a solution yet, who knew Xia Chuxue’s true intention wasn’t about drugging him, but instead, she wanted to kill her, Xia Yinian.

Such a turn of events, she herself couldn’t have anticipated!

"What if I can’t think of a solution? Have you decided to use the medicine on me?"

"Then you’re not at a loss anyway! A girl offering herself is better than you going out to find one... right?" 𝙛𝒓𝓮𝙚𝔀𝒆𝒃𝓷𝒐𝓿𝙚𝓵.𝙘𝒐𝒎

The last word "right", Xia Yinian said so softly, even she couldn’t hear herself.

Because, she clearly saw the rage in Gu Lingqian’s eyes suddenly flare up.

"I... I was only joking, really just joking!"

"Ah! What...what are you doing? Gu Lingqian, what are you going to do?"
