After saying that, Lu Jinnan anxiously ended the call.
Lu Jinnan frowned as he looked out the window at the streets of Haicheng. Did Yun Liuli lay out all the cards on the table with Gu Qingcheng?
At the thought of this, Lu Jinnan's lips curled up. After some thought, he called Tang Zheng to share this piece of news with him.
In the Cloud Top Condominium.
Yun Liuli was still hugging Gu Qingcheng tightly, restraining her tears.
"Zhou Yuchen and I hugged today!" Yun Liuli's ear stuck tightly to Gu Qingcheng's back. She intentionally said things out of spite. "You don't care for my hug, but Zhou Yuchen does! You don't want to kiss my lips, so I'll kiss Zhou Yuchen. You said that… you don't want my young body. Then… I'll give my young body to Zhou Yuchen! If you don't care about me, you won't mind these things either, right?"
At that moment, it was as if something had exploded in Gu Qingcheng's mind. He locked onto Yun Liuli's slender wrist that was wrapped around his waist, pulling her in front of him, not being gentle at all.
"Do you know what you're saying?"
Gu Qingcheng's face was extremely grim. His pair of deep and unfathomable black eyes especially seemed as if they were the raging storm on the seas, with the turbulent waves wanting to destroy Yun Liuli, who was a small boat.
Yun Liuli's wrist was almost crushed by Gu Qingcheng, and even her fingertips were trembling in pain.
However, this bit of pain was a far cry from what Yun Liuli was feeling in her heart.
"Then, do you want it?" Yun Liuli took a step closer to Gu Qingcheng, her other hand gently laying on Gu Qingcheng's chest. She looked up at him, tears trickling down from the corners of her eyes. "My young body."
Gu Qingcheng clenched his jaw tightly, forming a straight line that trembled uncontrollably.
Yun Liuli could feel Gu Qingcheng's scorching body temperature under her palm, as well as his muscular chest.
Yun Liuli tiptoed but still couldn't reach his lips. She trembled as she said, "My heart, myself… every part of my body… I'll keep the things you want, but can't I give away the things that you don't want to others?"
Yun Liuli put herself in the most inferior yet compelling position in this relationship.
Her nose twitched, and her inferior and hoarse voice rang out softly, "What do you want me to do? Guard over everything for someone who doesn't want them?"
Gu Qingcheng's cold expression was very dark. He locked onto Yun Liuli's shoulders, pushing her away from his arms. "Liuli, are you trying to force me or humiliate yourself by doing this?"
"I want to force you! If you don't want them… then I'll give them to someone else. Or… you can keep me locked up at home, not letting me come into contact with anyone. I wonder if this would be the kind of senior my father would hope for you to be for me!"
Flames of fury had almost incinerated all of Gu Qingcheng's rationality. He wanted to seal up Yun Liuli's small mouth. He wanted to push her against the wall and fiercely seize everything from her.
He was shocked awake by this thought almost instantly. To think that he… would have such a detestable thought.
Yun Liuli was his friend's daughter. He had promised to take care of Yun Liuli as he would his own daughter. Who would do something like this to their own daughter?
At that instant, Gu Qingcheng almost couldn't face Yun Liuli. He let go of Yun Liuli's shoulders and headed for his room, slamming the door fiercely.
Yun Liuli stood in place. Her eyes were trembling, but she didn't dare to blink. She was afraid that if she were to blink, she wouldn't be able to hold back her tears and cries any longer.
Her nose felt very sore.
The living room was so quiet that there was only the sound from the grandfather clock. Yun Liuli stood there until her legs had gone numb before she went up to Gu Qingcheng's door.
She raised her hand, placing it gently on the door.
The two of them were only separated by one door, but if Yun Liuli wished to cross the distance separating them… It was as if they were separated by the Milky Way. It was tough and unattainable.
She clenched her teeth and eventually said, "Today, it was a hug. I've already given it to someone else! Tomorrow… it will be a kiss! If you don't want it… I'll give it to someone else! The day after will be my body… If you don't want it, I'll give it to someone else as well! Gu Qingcheng… You know me. I mean what I say."
Yun Liuli had initially planned on taking things slowly, but in the end, she still couldn't help but want to be willful for once… to drive Gu Qingcheng up the wall with a desperate attempt! This was also the last chance that she'd be fighting for herself amidst her despair!
Her nasal voice was unclear and wasn't loud. Even she wasn't sure if she was telling this to herself or to Gu Qingcheng.
Yun Liuli stood outside Gu Qingcheng's room for a very long time before she turned around and returned to her room.
The next day, Yun Liuli woke up very early.
She didn't have breakfast, nor did she greet Gu Qingcheng. She left her bedroom, changed her shoes, and left…
Gu Qingcheng, who was standing in front of the counter of the open-concept kitchen, took a deep puff of his cigarette. He called his assistant and told him to send someone to follow after Yun Liuli. They had to report all of her actions to him timely.
Gu Qingcheng had heard what Yun Liuli said when she was outside his door last night!
But given Gu Qingcheng's understanding of Yun Liuli… she might have just said those things out of spite. Even if she were still thinking about putting it into action now, at the very last moment… she would still be that conservative and reserved young lady.
Gu Qingcheng's understanding of Yun Liuli stopped at when she was young. Or rather, it was the Yun Liuli from one year ago.
However, it had been almost a year since they met. In this one year, although Gu Qingcheng knew of Yun Liuli's recent happenings, he didn't understand her psychological growth.
The young lady who had admired him had long grown into a woman who loved him.
In this one year, Yun Liuli had grown up to become braver. With regard to her love for Gu Qingcheng… once Yun Liuli was given hope, she'd be like the moth that flew into the flames, not caring if she was seeking her own doom!
Yun Liuli had barely slept at all throughout the night. She left the Cloud Top Condominium, got in a taxi, and headed straight for the hospital.
Yun Liuli's eyes were bloodshot as she turned and looked out the window. She had thought through things for the entire night…
It was a bit out of spite that she told Gu Qingcheng that if he didn't want her kiss and her body, she would give them to someone else.
However, after she calmed down, she realized that while she was driving Gu Qingcheng up the wall, she was also forcing herself into an impasse.
What if Gu Qingcheng really didn't want her?
Was she really going to hand herself over to someone else?
The answer was a definite no!
This made Yun Liuli understand one more thing. If Gu Qingcheng still didn't stop her when she had reached that stage, it meant that he didn't love her that much.
Then… she should set him free!
Yun Liuli's heart trembled. This was an extremely tough decision for her.
After all, Gu Qingcheng was all of Yun Liuli's life.
Giving up Gu Qingcheng would be like asking Yun Liuli to give up on her life.
