Your Beloved Sweetheart Is Online-Chapter 19: High Above Like a King_1

His proud gaze didn’t regard anyone, he stepped up to Chenxing amidst the astounded stares of the crowd, reached out, grabbed the papaya juice from her hands and placed it on the table. 𝐟𝚛𝕖𝚎𝕨𝗲𝐛𝚗𝐨𝐯𝐞𝕝.𝐜𝗼𝗺

As he put down the juice, his eyebrows tightened and his face turned pale. Then, without a word, he leaned down and, like he was picking up a child, scooped up the stunned Chenxing into his arms.

Then he opened his mouth, directing his words at the struggling Ye Chenxing.

"Don’t move!"

Gu Shaocheng knew she was nervous, which only made him tease her more: "Move again, and I can’t guarantee what will happen."

Xia Jianqing watched, wide-eyed, as he carried Chenxing away, momentarily forgetting to stop him.

The chubby girl belatedly exclaimed, "Who is this handsome man? The domineering, strong, and cold face reverberates in her mind, is he the man behind Chenxing?"

"My goodness, this is not like they thought at all, this is simply Cinderella meeting her Prince Charming!"

"That man, towering like a king, ignores everyone as if his eyes only have room for Chenxing. So handsome, so manly, such a real man!"

*******************************************

The car stopped in the courtyard of the Gu mansion.

Ye Chenxing was led by Gu Shaocheng, past the lotus pond, over a small bridge, through the courtyard and back into the house.

"You want to move out of my place?"

That was the only sentence he’d heard when he opened the door of the KTV room, the sentence that had sent his disgruntled mood spiraling.

At the moment, he leaned against a large table, his fingers gently caressing her face. It was a subtle caress, soft, tingling, and oddly unsettling for Chenxing.

She instinctively took a step back, avoiding his touch, then thought for a moment and nodded seriously.

"Yes, I feel bad freeloading at your place. One of my classmates said she has a vacant house that I can temporarily borrow." The rapidly chilling atmosphere around them made her voice softer and softer.

She watched him carefully, her heart fluttering.

That man, when he shut his mouth and didn’t say a word, was particularly terrifying. She felt somewhat helpless.

"My classmate said, I am being kept by you? I... I don’t want to be kept."

Her words were just a tentative probe, she wanted to know what he really meant, what reasons he had for treating her so well. When a pie falls from the sky, who wouldn’t feel tremulous?

When Gu Shaocheng heard her words, he couldn’t help but laugh inside.

"Is this how you understand our relationship? Being kept? Unless my memory is failing me, I believe I’ve told you that I have no intention of buying you," Gu Shaocheng’s tone was quite eerie, those terrifying eyes left no place to hide: "The boy who was talking to you, what is your relationship with him?"

He didn’t miss that sentence, nor did he ignore the ambiguous atmosphere between that boy and Chenxing.

Alright, Gu Shaocheng admits, the inexplicable anger he couldn’t suppress in his heart, was largely due to the blatant ambiguity. He certainly knew who that boy was, which fanned his anger even more!

"Him?...We used to be classmates." Chenxing was at a loss, wondering how the conversation had wandered over to Jianqing.

"Do you like him?"

"Uh, no." Chenxing stammered in a low voice, then refuted loudly, but her face was flushed a conspicuous red, dazzling Gu Shaocheng and making his eyes sting.
