Gu Zhixi listened to his slightly mocking tone and felt tears almost spilling out.
Whether it was four years ago or now, this man had always had this ability; he was forever strategizing behind the scenes, handling everything with ease, effortlessly blocking all her retreats, forcing her to comply with his arrangements.
She might have let it slide four years ago, but now, even though she was no longer the helpless Su Zixi from back then, why was she still at a loss with him!
He was also sure of this point, that’s why he was acting so brazenly!
"Mr., He aren’t you afraid I’ll sue you?" she said coldly.
The man chuckled low, as if mocking her fierce appearance but timid heart.
"I’m looking forward to it," he said, drawing closer to her, now so near that he could kiss her in the next second.
Zhixi was thrown into total disarray by his closeness!
"I... you think I wouldn’t dare? My father is Duke Leslie, even the President dares not slight him, if the news of your infringement on me is exposed, it could cause a dispute between two countries!" Zhixi said through clenched teeth.
"Hmm... I think the President would be very pleased to have me take Miss Gu as my wife since your father only has you for a daughter, hmm? His fortune can only be inherited by you, and once you become my wife..." he chuckled low, "such a scenario is certainly something our President would be delighted to see, so I assure you he would strive to make it happen."
Gu Zhixi internally analyzed these relationships and found herself speechless... Gu Bingjun’s standing in Nation S was crucial; should his immense fortune be taken into Nation Z by her, it would be nothing short of catastrophic for Nation S...
Could it be... this man had even considered this point?
That said, even if she truly intended to accuse him, she was still powerless against him!
Thinking this, she trembled with even greater fury.
"Or are you, Miss Gu, also willing to enter into an alliance of marriage with me?" he raised an eyebrow, "If Miss Gu wishes it, I would not object."
"No, I don’t want to at all!" Gu Zhixi’s eyelashes trembled violently, "Mr. He, you’re very cunning; I am no match for you! As for what happened today, I’ll pretend it never occurred, and I hope you’ll conduct yourself with dignity in the future!" NovelHub
After four years, this woman’s temperament had evidently improved; as the daughter of a duke, she had gradually developed a bit of arrogance.
"Alternatively, Miss Gu could consider my proposal from the other day?" his smile was languid, "I said I could make you very comfortable, Miss Gu, how did you find the experience?"
Zhixi’s face flushed red, and she turned her head away resentfully: "Absolutely horrible!"
"That’s not what you were saying just now," he raised an eyebrow, "it seems you’ve forgotten how you were begging me earlier, do you need a reminder?"
"He Jingyao, that’s enough!" she glared at him fiercely, then forcefully pushed him away, clutching the blanket to roll to the side—
Unfortunately, although she successfully rolled out of his embrace, the blanket completely slipped off her, and feeling a chill, she noticed something was wrong. Looking down, she found herself completely unclothed. Correct content is on NovelHub.
A low laugh came from behind her.
Both embarrassed and enraged, she frantically pulled at the blanket, trying to cover herself, but for some reason, whether the blanket was too heavy or whatever, she couldn’t move it at all. She had no choice but to roll under the bed, barely managing to shield her body.
After all that effort, her body, already weak from before, had absolutely no strength left. She knelt on the floor gasping for air, her gaze still fiercely fixed on him.
