Tyrannical Tycoon Haunts Me Relentlessly-Chapter 43: Should I Give Her a Surprise?

Gu Lingqian’s words were like frost in July, freezing to the marrow on a sweltering day!

It took Xia Yinian a long while to fully digest his words!

A shadow cast over her heart, leaving her feeling cold and uneasy.

To bury everyone at the Yong’an Orphanage along with her, given his status as the Young Master of the Gu Family, wouldn’t be difficult.

Xia Yinian was truly panicked, deeply unsettled.

The chill in the depths of Gu Lingqian’s eyes had already disappeared into his habitual faint smile.

"Lady Xia just needs to do what she’s supposed to, and she won’t have to worry about these things."

"Wh-what am I supposed to do?" Xia Yinian’s voice was a bit stiff, and awkward.

"Don’t date anyone for a year and don’t tell my family that you’re not my girlfriend."

"Is it... really that simple?" She could hardly believe it.

"Do you think such a matter can be more complicated?"

The smile on Gu Lingqian’s face this time was genuine; this girl... her thoughts were too innocent, everything she thought was written all over her face.

"Don’t worry, I’m not a vile villain, nor will I go out of my way to harm the people from the orphanage—I don’t have the time for that, understand?"

"But, if... you have another woman outside..."

"Then, the agreement is terminated, consider it a breach on my part, and Xiao Lian and the Orphanage will not lose a dime."

"Really?" Hope was rekindled in Xia Yinian’s eyes, suddenly, how she wished to push Xia Chuxue towards him, what to do?

As long as he has another woman outside, she could retreat triumphantly, right?

Gu Lingqian could see right through her petty thoughts, and inexplicably, a displeased feeling stirred in his heart.

"I’m very picky about women, don’t think about throwing just anyone at me." He huffed, his tone slightly unfriendly.

Being seen through, Xia Yinian’s face flushed red again.

She took a deep breath and finally bit her lower lip, sincerely saying, "Okay, I agree to your terms."

...

...That girl ran away again.

This time, it wasn’t as simple as fleeing from his place, but rather, she ran into the arms of another man!

Good, very good! There’s a limit of three times, this is the third time now, isn’t it?

It seems he has been too lenient on her!

The cold aura pressed down so heavily that Chi He felt his scalp tingling, not daring to speak recklessly.

Xia Yinian ran off again, this time, she actually followed Young Master Ling back to the Gu Family.

Chi He wasn’t sure whether to praise Xia Yinian for finding such a support in Gu Lingqian or to laugh at her foolishness.

But now, he could not afford to laugh, as the volcano in front of him was about to erupt!

"Se-Seventh Young Master." Although he knew that his words would displease Seventh Young Master, he had to report the situation.

Chi He took a deep breath before carefully saying, "Seventh Young Master, that... Lady Xia followed Mr. Ling back to the Gu Family, because... because the two have a marriage agreement..."

"Very good." With a snap, the glass dropped onto the coffee table, instantly shattering.

Gu Beicheng’s face showed no ripple of emotion, still looking indifferent.

But the shattered glass on the coffee table clearly indicated the fury he felt at this moment.

Chi He was so frightened he didn’t dare to take a deep breath, timidly saying, "Seventh Young Master, should I... shall I go and bring her back?"

But by this point, Gu Lingqian must have already brought Xia Yinian to the Gu household; getting her back would mean taking her from the Gu Family by force.

Gu Beicheng remained silent, a trace of a cold smile passing through his eyes, deep as the stars.

Thinking of escaping?

Very well.

You little thing, thinking you can escape from my palm like that, simply too naive!

Should he not give her a surprise, to reward her courage for running away from him time and time again?
