Chapter 671 - Because He Couldn’t Hold Himself Back

She tried her best to honestly express her thoughts.

However, that man turned around darkly, his tall and well-built figure exuding an endless oppressiveness. “Qingjiu, you’ve never lied in my presence.”

“But you really suck at lying. You’re so bad at it I don’t even need to think to know you’re lying.”

There was an endless coldness in his voice, like lofty mountains and flowing water. Now, there was only a faraway emptiness left, and the usual gentleness was gone.

His aura was so cold that it made one feel suffocated.

Gu Qingjiu felt somewhat aggrieved.

She knew that hiding certain matters was a form of deception.

However, previously, when this person didn’t tell her his real name, she wasn’t even so angry. Why did he get so mad when all she did was stare at someone a moment longer?

She sat where she was. She felt nervous and helpless as she bit her fingers.

Helian Niancheng’s cold eyes riveted upon her throughout.

Seeing her so nervous, he knew that there was an intense struggle in her heart.

But she didn’t at all look like she was going to tell him about her thoughts.

He wouldn’t overly interfere in Gu Qingjiu’s right to make friends.

Even back then, when people spread rumors about her and Yin Ruoyi, he wasn’t so mad.

Because he knew that was impossible.

But that man she saw unexpectedly that day was so ordinary that he wouldn’t even deign to cast a glance in that man’s direction.

Yet, it brought about an unprecedented fluctuation in emotions in Gu Qingjiu.

That was a man’s sense of crisis.

His intuition told him that Gu Qingjiu’s relationship with that man wasn’t simple.

He took out his phone and instructed Joker to investigate everything about this man.

A hint of murderous intent appeared in his eyes.

He had no idea what sort of relationship Gu Qingjiu had with that man. However, anyone who would threaten his relationship with Gu Qingjiu should not exist in this world.

Once he found out the link between them, he wouldn’t show any mercy.

But he believed that Gu Qingjiu didn’t have any thoughts of betraying him.

In his presence, specific thoughts of hers were very straightforward and unconcealable.

But the only exception was this man, who indistinctly made him feel uneasy.

He set down his phone and walked over to cup his hands around Gu Qingjiu’s face. “I’ll give you time. I’ll wait for you to tell me everything willingly. But, Qingjiu, you’re making my heart uneasy...”

He seemed to murmur to himself, his voice so low that it made one feel numb, exuding a sense of danger.

Before Gu Qingjiu understood what was going on, his thin lips had already laid over hers with urgency.

Unlike the lingering gentleness it usually carried, there was a brutish vibe this time.

Yet, he carefully controlled his force so as not to hurt her.

It was as though, despite being furious, he was doing his best to control himself.

He sucked upon her sweet and tender lips, aggressively confining her in an area within his control where she couldn’t escape.

His slim, long, and fair palm placed over her soft skin, making Gu Qingjiu let out a muffled moan as a flush crept onto her face.

She liked him too much. Hence he quickly brought about a numbing sensation in her.

As her temperature gradually started rising, she twisted her body uneasily. Helian Niancheng’s arms circled her waist to embrace her.

By the time she regained some of her mind’s clarity, she had already been tossed onto the bed.

It took no effort on his part to remove all the articles of clothing on her upper body. As he gazed at her petite shoulders and roundness, there was an intrusive, determined look in his eyes to claim her.

He lifted the thin blanket and directly laid his body over her.
