Chapter 560 - Soft Demoness Qi

However, Gu Qiqi didn’t dare to lower her guard.

What if Gong Jue said “come home with me after the engagement is ended” again?! She would be dead meat!

Thus, she stared at Gong Jue anxiously. Her big black grape-like eyes blinked and her red lips moved slightly. She seemed to be using her lips to say, “Please, please. Commander-in-chief, let me off. Let’s end this here, okay? My marriage has already been canceled! It’s not easy for me to cut ties with the Mu family. Please don’t cause trouble again, okay?”

Gong Jue stared at her with a dark expression and didn’t move.

Gu Qiqi’s lips twitched and a trace of anger flashed across her eyes.

Damn it. Stupid man, what are you doing?!

It actually didn’t work?

Gu Qiqi pouted. Her lips moved slightly and she continued to mouth words that seemed to say, “Gong Jue! You promised me that you would give me time to think things through. You’re going back on your word by coming to cause trouble now. I refuse to talk to you! I also won’t agree to consider my engagement with you anymore!”

Gong Jue’s eyes immediately turned cold!

“Stupid woman—”

Gu Qiqi’s heart skipped a beat. No, if she wasn’t soft, she couldn’t be rude either.

She nearly forgot that a domineering man like Gong Jue would definitely not accept any threat.

If he really said “stupid woman, come home with me” later, she would be harmed badly by him.

She had to be soft.

Extremely soft.

She had to be soft as cotton…

“Ahem, ahem, ahem. Look, I took the initiative to end the scumbag’s marriage. Wasn’t I sincerely trying to solve the obstacles between us?! Can you not announce our relationship? Please, I beg you. At most, I’ll return home and kiss you as compensation…” Gu Qiqi pouted. Her eyes were soft. Those silent words escaped from her lips one after another. It was simply impossible to reject her.

Gong Jue felt his Adam’s apple tighten and he froze.

This stupid woman was so seductive!

He couldn’t even tolerate her pleading with her eyes and lips.

What’s more, she was using an attractive bargaining chip like a kiss to negotiate.

Damn it! Would he still be a man if he rejected her?

The anger in his heart was gradually appeased by her soft gaze.

The words “Stupid woman, go home with me” that were about to leave hismouth couldn’t help but become, “Stupid woman, isn’t it just an end to the engagement? With me as a witness, which scoundrel would dare to refuse to admit it? Hmm?”

After speaking, his gaze swept across the Mu family’s mother and son coldly.

Mrs. Mu shivered and sat down on the chair. “Chief… Let’s retreat! We want to retreat!”

He couldn’t help but hate Gu Qiqi ten thousand times more in her heart.

Initially, she felt that it wasn’t a bad idea to withdraw the engagement after receiving a tenfold keepsake. But after being stirred up by the commander-in-chief, their Mu family became known as scoundrels. How embarrassing would that be? In the future, if they took a fancy to any girl, it would be difficult to marry her.

Mu Liuchuan still refused to give up. “Master Jue, this is our private matter…”

“The engagement is a private matter. But if you insist on not backing out, that’s official business!” Gong Jue’s cold tone left no room for doubt.

Of course, the reporters and the noblewomen unanimously supported Gong Jue.

“Master Jue is wise!”

“Master Jue loves the people as his children!”

“Master Jue can actually support civilians when he passes by. I’m so touched…”

No one dared to suspect that he wasn’t “passing by.”

On the other hand, Gong Jue said proudly, “The Chu clan is an outstanding Chinese medicine practitioner. The Empire is reviving and all industries are responsible for its development. As the scientific support behind the Empire’s pharmaceutical world, it’s my responsibility to come to the Chu clan to help protect the Empire’s Chinese medicine lineage.”

Gu Qiqi staggered and nearly choked to death on her saliva.

Apart from Gong Jue, this shameless man, she really couldn’t think of anyone else who could link his private affairs to the development of the country and even talk about it so self-righteously.

She had really underestimated the extent of this stupid man’s shamelessness just now. She was even blindly worried that this man would expose their relationship.

He was clearly a cunning big bad wolf. He was only deliberately scaring her to achieve his goal. Hmph!
