Tyrannical Tycoon Haunts Me Relentlessly-Chapter 295: Grateful—Why Not Repay with Your Body?

"Chi He!" Xia Yinian instinctively went over, trying to open the French window.

But that guy actually locked the French window from the inside!

They were locked on the balcony! Her... and Gu Beicheng!

"Unc, Uncle..." Suddenly, she felt like she was trapped in a cage with a wild beast.

Xia Yinian looked at Gu Beicheng’s back, feeling uneasy.

Gu Beicheng didn’t turn around; he faced the sea, smoking.

Xia Yinian clutched her fingers, knowing that moving forward meant a dead end, but if she didn’t move, staying in place was still a dead end.

After taking a deep breath, she decided to face it swiftly—if she had to die, at least she wanted a swift death.

Waiting here, tormented by the idea of dying, made her uncomfortable.

"Uncle, did you want... to talk to me about something?" Although she had decided to bravely face him, as soon as she began to speak, she felt timid again.

This man had the ability to instill fear in others, even without speaking or looking at them, just his back was enough to intimidate.

Was his noble and aloof aura an innate trait?

"Strip naked and get into Gu Lingqian’s bed?" He still didn’t turn around, just casually flicked his cigarette.

Xia Yinian’s heart panicked, he was indeed here because of this.

"They were just joking." She bit her lip, fiddled with her fingers wanting to explain, but didn’t know where to start.

"Do you like being in his arms?"

"..." As expected, he was settling old scores; she knew that the scene he witnessed that morning would bring no good.

"I... didn’t mean anything else." It was really just gratitude!

"So, it only becomes meaningful if you strip naked and cling to him?" He spoke with a tone that was as flat as talking about the weather.

But Xia Yinian knew that he was angry, very angry!

"That was really just a joke, they suddenly received admission notices from Capital City, and all thought it was Young Master Ling... Ling Qian helping, so they felt grateful."

"Is that why you hugged him, because of gratitude?"

"...Yes."

Xia Yinian had just nodded when suddenly, her spine tensed, and she found herself cornered between the French window and his body.

The cigarette between his fingers had disappeared without her noticing.

His fingers, still smelling of tobacco, landed on her chin and suddenly tightened.

"Um!" Xia Yinian’s face was abruptly pinched by him.

Her chin hurt a little, thankfully he didn’t use much force, otherwise, her fragile chin probably couldn’t have withstood it.

Do all men like this, pinching people’s chins, not knowing it hurts?

"If I hadn’t come over, would you have offered your body out of gratitude?" he squinted his eyes.

"I never thought about it." It was just gratitude, none of those other thoughts existed.

"Now, I’m giving you a chance to think about it." His long fingers tightened, and his eyes squinted into deeper and narrower slits, "How are you going to show your gratitude to him, hm?"

"Uncle, I really didn’t think so much, I was truly just overwhelmed at the time."

Her feelings, he wouldn’t understand! So even if she explained, it seemed there was nothing to explain.

"My college entrance examination score could have met the admission requirements for Capital City, but someone tampered with my moral character assessment, resulting in my non-admission."

She pouted, still feeling aggrieved when talking about it.

"Gu Lingqian helped me vindicate myself, I was so excited at the time that I hugged him."
