She was in danger!
Qin Se felt as if those words had turned into a sharp blade which had been placed against her neck. She was so terrified that even the hairs on the back of her neck had stood up.
This man, Gu Jingyuan, was petrifying!
If she could have seen this coming, Qin Se would never have leaned toward him.
Qin Se didn’t know what else she could do, and she was freaking out. Fine, since he had accused her of seducing him, she had admitted to the accusation! What else did he want from her?!
Qin Se reached out with a trembling hand and gently patted Gu Jingyuan’s shoulder. “You… you should calm down. I… I wasn’t looking for anyone. I was carried away because your beauty had me in awe… It was hard to turn a blind eye on Uncle’s beauty. I couldn’t hold it back and shamelessly… seduced you… I…”
Qin Se gulped to moisten her dry throat before she continued, “Actually, I… I have very high standards. I wouldn’t fall for an average man. This mainly happened because you were too charming. I… I couldn’t control myself. In fact, I didn’t expect to succeed. I am deeply aware of my mistakes. I don’t dare to ask for your forgiveness, but please… forget about all of this and let me live my life.”
Qin Se was thankful that although she had stammered just now, her brain was still working just fine. She couldn’t let Gu Jingyuan find out that she had explicitly been aiming to cuckold Shen Rui that day. When she had happened to see him, she had just done it without much thought.
She had to hide this from him for the time being. Otherwise, if others found out, when the secret was no longer a secret, how else could she blackmail Shen Rui?
Qin Se remembered what her mother had once told her. Regardless of the situation, as long as you excelled in ass-kissing, you would always have a way to stay alive. 1
The more you panicked, the more you had to calm yourself.
Therefore, Qin Se ignored her conscience and kept on complimenting Gu Jingyuan.
Perhaps the ass-kissing worked, and Qin Se felt that his murderous aura seemed to have faded a bit.
“Is that so?”
Qin Se nodded desperately. “Yes, yes, yes … Don’t you know that your charm exudes from head to toe?! I lost control…”
Gu Jingyuan remarked sarcastically. “I see that you are… controlling yourself quite well now.”
Qin Se shrank and whispered, “You… I don’t know. Actually, I have… used up all my willpower to restrain myself. After all, I am a married woman. I don’t care about my own reputation, but… I can’t ruin your reputation. Isn’t that right?”
“Haha…”
Suddenly, Qin Se’s cell phone rang.
She tried to convince him, “Uncle, why don’t you let go of me first. We can talk about it properly.”
Gu Jing Yuan sneered. “Let go of you? So that you can continue to play your tricks on me?”
Qin Se shook her head. “No, no. Uncle, please believe me. I will never do such an awful thing again…”
Nevertheless, Qin Se could tell that he clearly didn’t believe her, because he didn’t let go of her.
The phone was still ringing, and Qin Se looked at Gu Jingyuan pitifully.
He said coolly, “Answer it!”
Qin Se took the phone from her bag. When she realized that the caller was Shen Rui, she immediately tried to hang up without saying a word. However, before she could do so, the phone was taken away from her.
The cold stare of Gu Jingyuan was directed at her.
She hurriedly tried to say fawningly, “Uncle… Uncle…the matter on hand is far more important. Let’s ignore him.”
Gu Jingyuan smiled at her. That smile took Qin Se’s breath away, making her heart beat wildly, and then… she watched with her own eyes as he slid the phone icon on the phone screen! The phone call was then connected!
