Gu Qingxin’s beauty was unlike that of the average girl. She needed no adornment. Her beauty was natural, a gift at birth. She exuded an air of nobility and deracination, her entire being radiated a fresh and ethereal aura.
“Why do you even bother? Gu Qingxin is no longer someone you need to worry about, there are plenty… plenty more who care for her.”
Yang Yayan, who had just spoken, fixed her gaze on Gu Qingxin, taking pleasure in her discomfort.
“Tell us, how much for the night, we ll take you for the evening.11
The men started to speak up boldly, filled with contempt. They assumed her to be a noble swan, but she turned out to be so cheap. If anyone could play, why couldn’t they?
“You’ve misunderstood. I am simply a waitress. If there’s nothing else, I’ll leave.” Gu Qingxin replied, her expression icy as she looked at the people in front of her, her clear eyes full of indifference.
Gu Qingxin had already seen that these people were purposely trying to humiliate her. She turned to leave, only to be stopped by a persistent male student, “You’re out here selling yourself, so why case about Chasity? Name your price, I’ll pay ten times more.”
Gu Qingxin’s hand clenched the tray tightly, her voice even colder and her gaze intensifying, “Move.”
“Oh, so you still think you’re Miss Gu, huh? I bet you’re an illegitimate child. How could Miss Gu be doing this lowly work in such a place? You’d best behave or else you will be punished for refusing to toast.”
The guy didn’t expect Gu Qingxin to be bold enough not to give him any face. He was humiliated in front of all his peers and his expressions turned ferocious.
He reached out to grab Gu Qingxin, attempting to drag her away. The women around watched with glee, there was nothing more satisfying than seeing a person, who was once superior to them, being trampled in the mud.
The men who harboured intentions towards Gu Qingxin stepped forward to help.
Gu Qingxin paled as she prepared to resist, when suddenly a scream rang out, shocking everyone in the vicinity.
The man whose hand was about to touch Gu Qingxin had a dagger sticking out of his palm, the blade piercing through to reveal half of it, blood gushing out.
Everyone’s faces turned pale due to the sudden turn of events. The girls, who were previously smirking, let out a scream. They kept backing away, as did the boys who were equally terrified.
“You… you…” The man couldn’t believe the dagger in his hand.
Two groups of well-trained bodyguards quickly walked towards Gu Qingxin. Among them, a man over one meter ninety was surrounded. His white tight-fitted shirt unbuttoned at the top to reveal a sensuous honey-coloured chest, his perfectly cut black trousers snugly encapsulating his long legs.
i’he man wore a pair of purple sunglasses, a lit cigarette held between his fingers. Straight nose, rightly pressed sexy thin lips. Like an elegant yet dangerous wolf, he was homing in on his prey.
All present took a sharp intake of breath. The man’s aura was overwhelmingly strong, a figure of authority, a perfection of form that even an international superstar couldn’t match.
Those who had just mocked and ridiculed Gu Qingxin could only watch as the man approached her, stretched out his arm, and drew her into his embrace, holding her with an absolute pose of ownership and protection..
