Chapter 17

Deception

Qin Se was sweating anxiously, and she denied the accusation. “I didn’t… this is not right! It was an accident, and it was the driver’s fault! I didn’t do that on purpose.”

Gu Jingyuan replied coldly, “You did!”

Irrefutable sureness was written all over his face. He was pretty sure that Qin Se was seducing him!

Qin Se was too heartbroken for tears. She felt that their conversation would never be on the same channel.

Yes, her hand had indeed landed on the wrong place, but she had retracted it fairly quickly! If she truly wanted to seduce Gu Jingyuan, she would have grasped it instead of letting it go!

Giving up, Qin Se ground her teeth and said, “Okay, fine. Let’s say I did seduce you, either way, you...”

Gu Jingyuan raised his chin slightly and looked at her indifferently. He was akin to a noble and lethargic king of cats with his eyes full of contempt, almost as if saying “That’s it. I knew it. You seduced me!”.

Qin Se continued stiffly, “Either way, you… you didn’t fall for my charm. No matter how hard I tried, my seduction was useless. I know that you must be quite disgusted with me now and even think of me as shameless. Why don’t you just... throw me out now. I promise to stay away from you, I... ahh!”

The car took another dramatic turn, and Qin Se exclaimed in shock, her voice coming to an abrupt end.

Qin Se’s body was tensed and petrified, and her body stiffened involuntarily.

Her lips were pressed tightly against Gu Jingyuan’s lips. It was so tight that there wasn’t any gap between them!

Gu Jingyuan’s stare was icy cold, almost as if a million blades were shooting out from it. If she made the slightest movement, those blades would cut her into a thousand pieces. n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

Qin Se cried out internally. The reality was so cruel to her. Fate indeed had its ways to taunt people.

“Mr. Gu, Miss Qin, I’m... truly sorry. A child suddenly rushed out on the street, so...” The driver was so scared that his voice was trembling.

Qin Se gulped. She wanted to withdraw her body quietly, so she tried to move a little, but Gu Jingyuan pulled her back.

Their bodies pressed closer against each other, Gu Jingyuan said, “I saw your efforts.”

Question marks were written all over Qin Se’s face.

Effort?!

Was he talking about the “effort” she had put into trying to seduce him?

Qin Se shook her head, not knowing what to say.

Suddenly, her body was shaken abruptly. A glimpse of fear flashed through her face, and she sniffled with red eyes, “Uncle, I really didn’t mean it.”

Her teeth had knocked on Gu Jingyuan’s lower lip, and blood was slowly trickling out from the wound. The red smear on his lip made the unsympathetic face of Gu Jingyuan look somewhat demonic.

Qin Se was so frightened that she hurriedly reached out to wipe it clean. However, as she was currently lying on his chest, when she reached out to touch his lips, that movement seemed somewhat ambiguous.

Moreover, she had felt the changes in Gu Jingyuan’s body. After their last friendly exchange in the hotel, Qin Se knew exactly what was pressing against her from beneath, and she no longer dared to make any rash movements. She looked up at Gu Jingyuan and said sincerely, “The truth is, I really wasn’t seducing you! Uncle, please believe me! I’m actually a good girl. I’m innocent!”

Every time she saw Gu Jingyuan, she wimped out right away. How would she dare to even try to seduce him?!

All her guts had been used up last time.

Now, she deeply regretted her presumptuous move previously.

Gu Jingyuan replied coldly, “I do believe that you are foolish.”

“I already regret what happened last time. These days, I’ve felt completely restless about it. I shouldn’t have gone to you on that day. Uncle, I...”

The grip on her waist tightened, forcing Qin Se to take a deep breath, and she felt as though her waist was about to snap in half. Gu Jingyuan’s morose voice rang in her ears, “Who else would you have looked for?”
