Tyrannical Tycoon Haunts Me Relentlessly-Chapter 977: Have You Fallen for Me?

Gu Beicheng didn’t intend for things to turn out this way. He himself hadn’t expected that the moment he touched her, his body would react.

This feeling of complete loss of control wasn’t what he wanted.

With a slight furrow of his thick eyebrows, he let out a muffled sound before releasing her.

Once free, Xia Yinian quickly climbed onto the bed, instinctively distancing herself from the man behind her.

Her nose felt sore, but at least she didn’t cry. After all, this was just how her uncle was; she had known it for a long time.

Not feeling him coming closer from behind, she pressed hard against her skirt until her body hit the edge of the bed, then she turned around to look back.

The man was once again standing by the window, his back cold and resolute, as if the previous incident had never happened.

But the remaining chill constantly reminded her that this wasn’t an illusion.

Before Xia Yinian could speak, the man in the room said in a deep voice, "I just want you to know, if I wanted to sleep with you, I wouldn’t need to go through all this trouble."

Even though Gu Beicheng was trying hard to suppress, his voice still carried a rasp due to his earlier emotions.

Xia Yinian stared unblinkingly at his back, not paying attention to his tone.

Her uncle’s words, what did they mean? Was his scare just to tell her this fact?

It took her quite a while before she seemed to come out of her shock. 𝕗𝚛𝚎𝚎𝐰𝗲𝗯𝗻𝚘𝚟𝚎𝗹.𝕔𝐨𝕞

"Do you mean, you’ve fallen for me, Uncle?"

As soon as the words left her mouth, Xia Yinian took a deep breath. Perhaps she didn’t expect herself to dare say it.

He was the Seventh Young Master, the most formidable man in Ye City, though she often fantasized, she never dared to say it aloud.

But didn’t he say that to sleep with her, it was simple and didn’t require any fuss?

Then for him to come and fuss, does it mean he likes her, and not just her body?

"Didn’t I say that long ago?" Gu Beicheng said dismissively.

Xia Yinian’s eyelashes, slightly heavy with a touch of tears, fluttered a few times before she understood his meaning.

"You know that’s not what I mean. I’m asking if you’ve fallen for me?"

Actually, she didn’t need to be afraid of him. Wasn’t she bullied before? When had she ever been scared?

To prevent Brother Ling Qian from thinking she’s a weakling, Xia Yinian took a deep breath and climbed off the bed.

She hurriedly ran over to open the wardrobe, found a pair of panties, and put them on.

Sensing the movement behind, Gu Beicheng turned around to glance.

Seeing the girl with her hips raised as she put on her pants made his heart clench; his Adam’s apple unconsciously moved up and down, and the atmosphere around him instantly turned much hotter.

This position seemed pretty nice.

Cough... Wasn’t he determined today not to think about such things?

The man’s deep eyes changed color briefly before quickly returning to their dark gloom.

This girl was mumbling something earlier, and yet in the next second, she understood enough to find pants to wear.

If he had known she was so bold, he wouldn’t have stopped himself.

Xia Yinian quickly finished what she was doing.

Unexpectedly, as soon as she turned around, she met his eyes.

Feeling somewhat seen through, Xia Yinian frowned and immediately turned back, pretending to keep looking for something in the wardrobe.

"Uncle, with that look in your eyes, I’ll suspect you really have fallen for me."

No, not pretending. She really was looking for something. The clothes the maid had prepared, wasn’t she looking for a swimsuit? Yes, that’s what she was looking for—a swimsuit.
