War of Roses: The Proud Tycoon，Please Surrender!-Chapter 432: Playing Rogue with You

When they interacted in the past, both of them loved to tease each other.

Now, they were in their own world again, and unconsciously, nothing had changed.

Although he spoke harshly, in his heart, he truly cared for her.

Gu Yan wasn’t really angry, just a bit uncomfortable. Women, in front of someone they like, would always act a little dramatic, and she was no exception.

If she compromised easily just by his words, wouldn’t she be totally under his control in the future?

Alright, she was already softening inside, but she had to maintain appearances, so she crossed her arms, looking out the window, pretending not to notice him.

Tang Yuxiu knew she was acting spoiled. He felt helpless but adored how she pouted at him, so he willingly tried to comfort her.

"Baby, I care for you the most. Don’t be angry anymore. Give me your hand."

Gu Yan initially didn’t want to pay attention to him, but upon hearing the last sentence, she couldn’t help but turn around and ask, "What for?"

"Give it to me." He stretched out his hand, looking at the road ahead, repeating to her.

Gu Yan put down her hand and, puzzled, placed it into his. He immediately held it, brought it to his lips, and gently kissed it twice.

Gu Yan’s heart trembled suddenly, becoming unexpectedly soft.

She felt a pink flush rise to her cheeks, her hand turning hot, especially where he had kissed it. Her hand was still red, but it seemed no longer from her slapping, rather from his kisses.

Such gentle kisses, full of tenderness and care, moved her heart even more than the previous passionate ones, making her feel vulnerable.

"You, why didn’t you say anything before kissing me!" Gu Yan felt her tongue tie in knots as she spoke, quickly using questioning to hide any softened feelings.

Tang Yuxiu had long since seen through her little games. This hadn’t changed at all in five years; her thoughts were too easy for him to read.

Tang Yuxiu said seriously, "Do I need your permission to kiss you? I’ve kissed you so many times; if I need to ask to kiss your hand, should I also ask to kiss your lips?"

Gu Yan widened her eyes, surprised he would say something like that. Was this the cold, unfeeling, sharp-tongued man she remembered?

"You, you, Tang Yuxiu, you’ve changed. How did you become so roguish and frivolous?" He was teasing her every moment; it was too exasperating!

"Yanyan, I only act like a rogue in front of you. If I’m not a rogue to you, should I be one to others?"

"Nonsense, if you dare be a rogue with others, I’ll castrate you!" Gu Yan threatened fiercely without thinking.

Tang Yuxiu smiled slightly, "Rest assured, I’ll only be roguish with you," because only in front of you can I truly be a rogue.

Gu Yan was satisfied, "That’s more like it."

Tang Yuxiu looked at her with amusement, "So, does that mean you agree to let me be roguish with you?"

Gu Yan, "..."

Her mind went blank for a moment, recalling what had just happened, suddenly feeling as though her heart had been stuffed like a clogged drain.

"Damn it, Tang Yuxiu, you tricked me into your trap!" Gu Yan couldn’t help but curse.

This guy had cleverly entangled her in his web.

Tang Yuxiu said earnestly, "I only asked a question. You answered on your own accord; it wasn’t intentional on my part. You didn’t have to say it like that."

As for the consequences of not saying it... well, Young Master Tang didn’t know what would happen, probably end up taking advantage right away.

The outcome for her would likely be worse.

At least now, she made him quite happy.

Feeling as though he had granted amnesty, even the weather seemed a little brighter to Tang Yuxiu in his cheerful mood.

"Ahhh!" Gu Yan screamed internally, "Tang Yuxiu, you’re so despicable, you cunning man, not likable at all."

"Are you sure, huh?" Tang Yuxiu turned and squinted at her, the tail end of his words echoing in Gu Yan’s heart, making her a bit anxious.

She quickly pulled back her hand, looked out the window, avoiding his gaze, "What am I sure about, what am I sure about, don’t talk to me, I don’t want to talk to you right now."

"Yanyan, be careful not to dig a hole for yourself to fall into."

Gu Yan pressed her lips tightly, deciding not to speak to him.

Tang Yuxiu raised an eyebrow slightly, placing both hands on the steering wheel. Then, he stepped on the gas, speeding up the car on the road.

Gu Yan was startled, clinging tightly to the seatbelt with one hand, while the other desperately grabbed the handle, her face turning pale, breathing rapidly, gasping for air.

Tang Yuxiu merely glanced at her out of habit but then noticed her terrified expression, as if traumatized.

He suddenly remembered something, sharply hitting the brakes.

The car wheels screeched on the road before coming to a stop.

Tang Yuxiu unbuckled his seatbelt, leaned over, helped her undo hers, and forcefully pulled her hands from the handle, bringing her onto his lap, holding her tightly and gently patting her back to soothe her.

"Yanyan, I’m sorry, it’s my fault. It’s okay, everything is over now. With me here, nothing will happen to you."

How could he forget, five years ago she had that horrible accident and barely survived, how could she not have shadows in her heart?

He was foolish enough to speed up and scare her for fun; he felt like slapping himself twice.

As soon as Gu Yan felt his warmth, she instinctively clung to him.

Her mind replayed the car accident scene...

She was driving off the overpass, thinking to clear things up with Yan Shuo, make things clear with her grandfather, and come back to be with Tang Yuxiu forever, ignoring everything, not worrying about anything, no matter past feuds; she didn’t want to bear the burdens of the previous generation with him. It was too painful, too tiring.

The feeling was worse than death.

It was a rare moment she decided to live for herself, yet at that moment, she encountered an unprecedented disaster. 𝙧𝙚𝙚𝔀𝒆𝓫𝓷𝙤𝓿𝒆𝙡.𝒄𝙤𝓶

An out of control truck crashed into her from behind, and no matter how fast she turned the steering wheel, she couldn’t escape the fate of being hit.

Her body was severely impacted, and at the moment of clarity, she seemed to feel the blood flowing inside her body.

At that instant, she was so close to death, so close, she was so scared...

At that instant, she was so far from Tang Yuxiu, far enough to be separated by life and death...
