“In any case, I’m a married woman now.”

Mo Qing sneered, “Then I’ll like to see how different a married woman like you tastes from last night.”

He might have shown some hesitation, but there was no way he was going to let her off now.

She belonged to him, and no other man was allowed to touch her.

Not even her so-called fiancé Han Ke.

The expression on Gu Xiaoran’s face changed when she realized that her identity as a married woman could not stop the devil from acting as he pleased.

“Mo Qing, I didn’t know that Dynasty would catch fire that night…I really didn’t know—”

“Someone died because of you, even if it wasn’t your intention. Gu Xiaoran, how should I settle this score with you?”

If she hadn’t deceived him to step away with her stupid joke, how would someone have taken advantage of the situation to burn the place down, and how would have someone switched the account books and landed her father in prison? And how would her mother and sister have been tortured to death?

Gu Xiaoran felt breathless. “I didn’t send you a text message to ask you out. I went there only because I heard that you would be there, I just wanted …”

“You just wanted me,” he snorted and interrupted her. He didn’t want to hear the same lie anymore, “Since you want me so much, I’ll grant your wish now.”

“No…” She was still young then, and he had just been her secret crush. She had no wishful thinking and would usually wait quietly for him where he passed by so that she could steal glances at him.

That day, she had heard that he would be dating the girl he liked at that place, and she had wanted to take a peek at what the girl he liked looked like.

But when she had gotten there, he had thrown a big bag of money at her feet angrily and asked her if playing such a joke was fun.

She had not understood what he was talking about. He had thrown his mobile phone at her—there had been a text message sent from it phone saying that she had been kidnapped, asking him to bring money to save her.

She had not sent the text message, and there had been no record of sending that text message on her mobile phone. She didn’t know who had sent the text message and why it had appeared under her number.

But at that time, she had been very happy upon seeing the text message and his angry face, because he had actually gone to save her when he knew she was in trouble.

However, something had happened to the Dynasty Group that night.

He had been certain that she had lied to him, and had refused to believe her no matter how much she had justified herself to him.

She didn’t know how he was related to the president of the Dynasty, Mo Zhenzhong—she only knew that he hated her!

All those years, she had been thinking about who had been the one to send him a text message, but she had found no answer.

“Why, do you feel aggrieved this way?” He didn’t want to listen to those meaningless explanations.

“Don’t do this.” Gu Xiaoran took a deep breath.

“Gu Xiaoran, stop giving me that pitiful look. I’m not the only one enjoying it.”

Enjoy?

Gu Xiaoran gritted her teeth angrily. He had actually described her torturous experience as enjoyment.

“You are shameless.” Gu Xiaoran was so angry that she wished she could just die right away.

She suddenly gathered her strength, pushed him away and ran to the door.

Just as she managed to get to the door, she was struck by a strong force from behind and pressed against the door. 

He held her hands and pressed them firmly behind her back.
