Tyrannical Tycoon Haunts Me Relentlessly-Chapter 583: Clearly Very Concerned 13

The chill by her side grew increasingly heavy, and without thinking, she knew which central air conditioner was kicking in.

Xia Yinian rubbed her forehead, paying no attention to what everyone was saying.

She bit her lip and stood up.

"Continue, I’ll just get it myself."

As soon as she finished speaking, the girl lowered her head and turned to leave, rapidly at that.

To everyone, Xia Yinian seemed shy, but only she knew she wasn’t.

Sitting beside a big shot was very pressuring for her, and she was uncomfortable throughout the entire meal.

Even though he said not a word and merely sat there, the pressure was immense.

Therefore, her initiative to fetch the wine was not only to not dampen Gu Lingqian’s spirits but also to temporarily avoid Uncle.

At the very least, breathing became easier for Xia Yinian once she was ten meters or so away from there.

The Gu Family wine cellar was not far behind the main house.

Having been at the Gu Family for so long, it was not surprising that Xia Yinian had been to this area.

In order to avoid going back too soon, she strolled leisurely along the path to the wine cellar.

Unable to sort out her emotions, Xia Yinian could only stop herself from thinking too much.

She and Brother Ling were engaged, whether real or fake, and Uncle and Yu Wanqing could possibly soon be as well?

Once she fulfills the one-year agreement, she would completely leave the Gu Family.

Only eighteen this year, there’s a long road ahead in life, so why fixate on the same place and prevent herself from seeing the sunlight?

In a flash, she walked into the wine cellar and came to Gu Lingqian’s wine rack, stepping on her toes to reach for two bottles of good wine.

As she turned around, she nearly screamed out loud.

Gu Beicheng’s tall figure leaned forward, cornering Xia Yinian with no escape and pressing her against the wine rack behind her.

Despite his infuriatingly handsome face adorned with a trace of a smile, it appeared terrifying in Xia Yinian’s eyes.

Uncle was angry, but what reason did he have to be angry? Shouldn’t she be the one to be angry?

To be his plaything for no reason, treated well when wanted but ignored completely even if she were to die when not.

Such a heartless person, Xia Yinian had never met before.

The most detestable fact was that even though he was so heartless, she couldn’t forget him.

So the despicable one was not him, but herself!

The man was still advancing slowly, and Xia Yinian glanced back at the wine rack, trying to stabilize herself.

If she knocked over the wine rack behind her and spilled all that priceless wine, she couldn’t compensate even with her life.

"Excuse me, please step aside!" Xia Yinian glared at the man in front of her.

"It seems like you don’t want me to move," Gu Beicheng met her gaze, with a slight curve of his lips.

His alluring smile made Xia Yinian take an involuntary second look, but she quickly came to her senses.

"I don’t want to..." she started to say but suddenly felt something was amiss, and quickly looked down.

Seeing a third of her foot stepping on Uncle’s, Xia Yinian promptly drew back her leg.

"Alright, sorry. Please move aside," she glanced at him, speaking indifferently.

"What do you think I am? At your beck and call?" Gu Beicheng did not step aside, instead moving even closer.

Xia Yinian retreated slightly without thinking.

Not wanting him near her was her sole thought at this moment.

It was clearly him who had been summoning and dismissing her at will, and now it was reversed on her, leaving Xia Yinian baffled.

She’s seen unreasonable people, but never one so unreasonable to the point of being barbaric!
