Tyrannical Tycoon Haunts Me Relentlessly-Chapter 19 Open the Door, I Want to Go Home

Xia Yinian awoke to find herself lying in an unfamiliar bed, in a strange room.

Her throat was very dry... She opened her mouth, but all sounds seemed to be stuck in her throat, unable to squeeze out even a single word.

A cup of warm water was handed to her, and Xia Yinian, without thinking, hurriedly took it.

Weak and lacking strength, she almost dropped the cup onto the bed, but the person quickly took it back and brought the rim of the cup to her lips.

Xia Yinian didn’t have the energy to think too much and, lowering her head, drank the entire cup of water at the servant’s assistance. 𝚏𝕣𝕖𝚎𝚠𝚎𝚋𝚗𝐨𝐯𝕖𝕝.𝕔𝐨𝕞

Only when her throat felt more comfortable did she look up at the person who had just helped her drink.

It would have been better to not look at all; as soon as she did, she felt instantly terrible.

"Don’t come over!" She grabbed the blanket, trying desperately to cover her body.

The man standing at the bedside was tall and handsome, looking down at her with lowered eyelids.

"Your clothes were changed by me. What’s the point of covering up now?"

Gu Beicheng casually tossed, and the cup landed perfectly on the coffee table, utterly undamaged!

Such remarkable skill! If it were someone else, Xia Yinian would have found it astonishingly impressive.

But the person was Gu Beicheng, and she found it terrifying instead!

"What are you going to do? Don’t come any closer!" She clutched the blanket tighter, remembering his words from earlier. He had changed her clothes, so her body...

Xia Yinian’s face turned pale as she involuntarily bit her lip and cursed under her breath, "Shameless!"

He actually took advantage of her unconscious state to see her completely bare!

"I saved you; shouldn’t you be thanking me with your body?" And yet, she had the nerve to call him shameless.

Xia Yinian was stunned, finally recalling the scene she had seen before she had passed out in the thick smoke—the person who had broken in was indeed him.

Could it really be him who had saved her? At that moment, she had thought the smoke had addled her brain, and her eyes had deceived her.

If she hadn’t been mistaken, when he kicked open the door, she could see how fierce the fire was outside.

Such a dignified man, he actually dared to rush into the blazing fire to save her?

"Doubtful?" Gu Beicheng narrowed his eyes. What was this girl’s expression now?

"No, not at all." Xia Yinian gasped, feeling genuine fear when this man narrowed his eyes.

"...Thank you." She owed him gratitude for saving her life, but still, she felt no sense of security around him.

If she remembered correctly, the danger this man posed was no less than that of the fire.

She lifted the blanket, intending to get off the bed, when the man on the other side asked indifferently, "Where are you going?"

"I should go home." As soon as her legs touched the ground, her legs gave way, and she fell straight down.

Usually, when a beautiful woman falls, there would be a hero to catch her, but not this time. Xia Yinian fell directly to the ground with a loud thump.

She struck her head, climbed up holding it, her face a mask of pain.

Of course, Gu Beicheng wouldn’t care about her little pain. In his eyes, she had brought it upon herself.

Why leave a perfectly good bed to return home?

"It’s already midnight." He took off his bathrobe and walked towards her.

"Don’t come any closer!" He actually took off his bathrobe!

Frightened, Xia Yinian immediately regained her strength and tried to rush for the door.

But there was a click, and the door was remotely locked!

Turning back and glaring at the man who had just dropped the remote, Xia Yinian’s face darkened, "Open the door, I want to go home!"
