Free Web NovelChapter 1048: Chapter 24: Gu Yan’s Face, Blazing Red (Part 2)
"Hey," Fu Ruyi responded with a smile, her eyes and face devoid of any gloom or melancholy.
Gu Yan reached out to grab Nie Xiaoxing’s hand, taking her forcefully towards the elevator.
Nie Xiaoxing didn’t resist, at least not before entering the elevator.
Fu Ruyi stood at the doorway, watching Gu Yan and Nie Xiaoxing hand in hand walk into the elevator. It wasn’t until the elevator doors closed in front of her that she smiled and closed the door, heading back inside.
...
The moment the elevator closed, Gu Yan’s hand was thrown off by Nie Xiaoxing.
Gu Yan furrowed his brow lightly, his star-like eyes complexly staring at Nie Xiaoxing, whose head remained bowed. After a long while, he finally said, "I heard everything!"
Nie Xiaoxing’s back trembled violently, her face suddenly turning as pale as if she’d been covered with layers of white flour.
She slowly lifted her head, staring at Gu Yan with eyes as red as blood.
Gu Yan’s throat clogged, reaching out again to grasp Nie Xiaoxing’s hand.
Nie Xiaoxing abruptly backed up several steps, stopping only when she was pressed up against the elevator wall, staring intensely at him.
Gu Yan’s heart tightened, feeling for a moment like he couldn’t breathe, "Little Xing’er..."
Ding—
The elevator doors opened then.
Nie Xiaoxing quickly turned her head and rushed out of the elevator.
Gu Yan was stunned, composing his handsome face quickly, and striding out to chase her, catching her hand from behind, "Little Xing’er..."
"Let go!"
Nie Xiaoxing roared, putting all her strength into shaking off Gu Yan’s hand.
Gu Yan’s heart throbbed with pain, his starry eyes also showing red streaks, "Little Xing’er, please calm down!"
"Let go, I said let go!" Nie Xiaoxing seemed like she’d been stepped on her tail, losing all control.
"Nie Xiaoxing!" Gu Yan stepped forward, grabbing her other hand and pulling her forcefully into his embrace, "Little Xing’er, Little Xing’er, can you calm down, please?"
"Let me go, let me go!" Nie Xiaoxing sobbed with a hoarse voice.
Gu Yan closed his dry eyes briefly, enveloping Nie Xiaoxing in his arms entirely, pressing his chin heavily on her hair, "Calm down, please?"
Nie Xiaoxing clenched her fists, collapsing with low cries in Gu Yan’s embrace.
Then, forcing herself to calm down quickly, she took a deep breath and, tightening her throat, said, "I have to go to the company, Mr. Gu, please let go of me!"
Mr. Gu?
Gu Yan lowered his eyebrows, his star-like eyes deep red, looking down at Nie Xiaoxing, "... Are you angry?"
"Mr. Gu, I really don’t have time," Nie Xiaoxing said while struggling in Gu Yan’s embrace, her pale face flushed red from the effort.
"I’m sorry," Gu Yan hugged her tightly, "I didn’t mean to stand you up that day."
Nie Xiaoxing’s cheeks twitched with suppressed frustration as she lifted her head, her eyes bloodshot but clear, looking at Gu Yan, "I don’t understand what Mr. Gu is talking about. What day? What standing me up?"
Gu Yan’s thin lips pressed tightly together, deeply staring at Nie Xiaoxing, "... That day we agreed to go get the certificate. But something came up, and I had to fly to Indonesia."
Indonesia...
Sister Jin and Uncle Rong went to Indonesia, otherwise, they could have come out for dinner with us...
In Nie Xiaoxing’s mind flashed the words Mu Yan had said at the hotpot restaurant the other day.
Pain surged in Nie Xiaoxing’s eyes, but her gaze on Gu Yan grew lighter, "I remember I never agreed to get the certificate with Mr. Gu from the start. Is Mr. Gu confusing me with someone else in the ’us’ he mentioned?"
Gu Yan’s face turned black as if brushed with ink, his starry eyes blazing with anger as he locked eyes with Nie Xiaoxing, "So was it just me wasting my feelings from the start?"
Nie Xiaoxing looked coldly at him, "Mr. Gu, I’m really going to be late for work."
"Nie Xiaoxing, are you fucking messing with me?" Gu Yan pinched Nie Xiaoxing’s waist with a fierce anger, almost wanting to tear her apart, growling deeply.
"Is Mr. Gu angry? Why?"
Nie Xiaoxing’s brows moved slightly, her lips curving into a faint arc, her gaze lightly fixed on Gu Yan, "Could it be that Mr. Gu has taken a liking to such an ugly woman like me?"
"Taken a liking to you?"
Gu Yan laughed in fury, throwing Nie Xiaoxing aside like discarding trash, "I, Mr. Gu, am not so desperate! Nie Xiaoxing, remember this, you’re just an ugly monster, an ugly monster!"
By the end of his shouting, Gu Yan had a bit of an aggrieved tantrum-like tone.
He had been tortured by self-blame these past few days, losing weight! Damn it, she didn’t care at all!!! Why doesn’t she just fly to heaven!
"Ugly monster!" Gu Yan gritted his teeth again!
Veins throbbed on both sides of Nie Xiaoxing’s temples, her lips pale from tension, but this time, she forcibly held back, turning her head to walk away!
"..." Gu Yan clenched his fists, then relaxed, clenched again, "Nie Xiaoxing, you’re a bastard!"
Nie Xiaoxing walked faster and faster.
Gu Yan glanced around twice, and upon seeing Nie Xiaoxing’s figure disappear at the corner, suddenly raised his hand irritably to knock himself on the head, gritting his teeth, pale with anger, he stepped out chasing after her.
...
It was rush hour in the morning, and you could tell how crowded the light rail was by taking it once in the morning.
Nie Xiaoxing needed to take the light rail to the company, not too long, just four or five stops.
Thin as paper, Nie Xiaoxing squeezed into the light rail, easily wedged in between, occupying little space.
In his lifetime, Gu Yan had never taken the light rail before and was so shocked at the number of people that his eyes nearly bulged out.
Moreover, Gu Yan was used to behaving selfishly and willfully.
With the crowd already being unbearable on the light rail,
since he entered the light rail and was separated by an entire carriage from Nie Xiaoxing, he saw Nie Xiaoxing being almost crushed flatly and decisively squeezed towards her.
During this journey, Gu Yan was met with countless glaring eyes, he was lectured throughout his way.
Finally, when he squeezed up behind Nie Xiaoxing, Mr. Gu’s face was flushed red from the pressure, and sweat covered his body.
The light rail would have slight jolts whenever it stopped at a station.
Initially, someone was blocking Nie Xiaoxing at the front, but as the light rail was about to stop, this person suddenly moved away from in front of her.
When the light rail stopped abruptly, Nie Xiaoxing lost control and fell forward.
Expecting to bump into someone, Nie Xiaoxing had already prepared to apologize mentally.
However, a force from behind hooked her waist in time, instantly pulling her back, pressing her back tightly against the chest behind her.
Nie Xiaoxing inhaled sharply, her eyes widening in surprise as she turned back to look.
Seeing Mr. Gu stuck close to her back, Nie Xiaoxing swallowed the thanks she was about to say, frowning and struggling.
However, the more Nie Xiaoxing struggled, the more Gu Yan’s arm wrapped around her waist tightened.
Despite the crowd, the two stubbornly battled, back and forth, enjoying their tussle.
Then suddenly, both stopped simultaneously.
Nie Xiaoxing’s eyes widened, her face turning red, lightly twitching with indescribable tension.
If her face was just lightly twitching, then her waist... trembled with spasms it couldn’t stop!
Nie Xiaoxing ground her teeth quietly.
Gu Yan, you beast!
And Gu Yan’s face was equally ablaze...
