Just as Gu Bo Li was about to go up and pinch Xin Nianyin's neck, Xin Nianyin suddenly asked, "Gu Bo, what are you planning to do?"

Xin Nianyin suddenly felt that the man in front of her was very unfamiliar. It was as if she had never really met him before.

Yesterday, Xin Qingwan had hugged him. In the blink of an eye, she had put him to death. She had witnessed how vicious he could be.

Which woman had he been sincere to? Or was he sincere?

If, one day, she did not do as he wished, would he do the same to her?

How terrifying …

This almost became a subconscious feeling towards Gu Qi, which was why she reflexively took a step back to open up a distance from Gu Qi.

Who was Gu Qi? He was a master at the negotiating table, and he was born to watch people's expressions.

He would rather Xin Xuanyin make trouble for him, be angry, be jealous.

But she absolutely could not be afraid of him.

"Xin Xinyin, are you scared of me?"

Gu Qi knitted his eyebrows, and his face turned ashen. His slender fingers subconsciously clenched into a fist, and his tone was so cold that it was bone-piercing.

Those who knew Gu Mai were the precursor to his anger. Gu Mai rarely really got angry. In the past, he was angry mostly because of his mother and elder brother.

The first time was because of a woman.

"Yes, I'm afraid of you. Ever since the day that I was designed by Xin Qingwan to marry you, I've always been afraid of you."

Xin Nianyin did not know that her words were a huge shock for Gu Jianming.

If she knew, she wouldn't have said it.

Because, as soon as she finished speaking, her snow-white neck had already been bound by a pair of large hands.

Gu Qi was like an Asura from hell as she stared at Xin Xinyin with raging anger.

"Are you afraid of me? You're actually afraid of me? Let me tell you, Xin Xinyin, you can't leave me for the rest of your life, much less be afraid of me.

In the last sentence, Gu Yingming shouted in a low voice, as if Xin Xinyin would dare to say half a no, and in the next second, he would break her neck.

"Cough, cough …"

She was also frightened. Having been with Gu Bo for so long, she had never seen him like this.

Even if he saw her taking the pill that day, Gu Jianming would only warn her angrily and didn't really make a move.

"Open, open, release …"

Xin Nianyin's face had turned red from difficulty of breathing. Her hands reflexively pulled away from Gu Jiayi's hand which was on her neck.

He could not utter a complete sentence from his mouth. Gu Qi was simply a madman.

For a few moments, Xin Nianyin thought that this time, she would be the one to die.

"Answer me, did you hear me?"

He sounded even more angry than before, and his hand unconsciously increased the force of the blow.

Right now, his mind was filled with the image of Xin Nianyin saying that she was afraid of him, that she wanted to distance herself from him and avoid him. He couldn't take it anymore, and there was actually an indescribable fear in his heart.

This fear had been engulfing him, to the point where he couldn't even hear Xin Nianyin's screams for help.

"Understood …" "Got it …"

Perhaps it was because she was really scared, but Xin Nianyin used her last bit of strength and kept spitting out three words.

After getting a satisfactory result, Gu Bo finally calmed down. Realizing what she had done to Xin Nianyin, he quickly loosened his grip and looked at his right hand with an astonished expression.

How, how did he lose control like this just now?

Having obtained her freedom, Xin Nianyin didn't dare to move another step. She could only squat on the spot and hold her strangled neck as she panted heavily.

Gu Qi couldn't help but want to slap himself in the face when he saw Xin Nianyin's uncomfortable appearance. Why did he seem like a devil just now?

One of them stood while the other squatted. For a long time, no one spoke.

After a long while, Gu Bo then faintly spat out these three words.

"I'm sorry."

Hearing Gu Qi's apology, Xin Nianyin was stunned once again.

She already knew about Gu Qi, but he actually said he was going to apologize to her?

Xin Nianyin didn't know what she was thinking, but she answered like a ghost.

"It doesn't matter, I won't die."

Although her tone was so soft that it was almost inaudible, Gu Qi still heard it.

After a few simple words of courtesy, the two fell into silence again. Xin Nianyin's neck had also recovered, and her breathing had gradually calmed down.

This time, although her neck was fine, there was something wrong with her legs. She had been squatting down, and now she felt that her thighs were no longer hers.

Xin Nianyin struggled with her thoughts for a long time. For her own legs, she didn't have the time to be embarrassed. She finally got up with great difficulty.

Just when Xin Nianyin thought she could finally leave this strange space …

Suddenly, her thigh went numb as if thousands of ants were gnawing on it. She accidentally let a big hand wrap around her waist just as her body was about to make intimate contact with the earth. In less than a second, she fell into a wide embrace.

Needless to say, everyone knew who it was.

"What's the matter with you?"

Gu Qi asked softly, her voice tinged with worry.

It had been a long time since Xin Nianyin had heard Gu Jianming speak so gently. For a moment, she didn't feel used to it.

"No …." "It's fine, I might have squatted for too long, my legs are numb."

Xin Nianyin lowered her head in embarrassment.

Xin Nianyin thought that she would once again fall into silence. She suddenly grabbed her by the waist and lifted her into the air.

Xin Nianyin cried out in fright at the sudden princess hug, struggling to get up.

"What are you doing?!"

This time, Gu Qi didn't answer her, but took care of himself as he gently placed the woman in his arms on the sofa.

Ignoring Xin Nianyin's questioning gaze, Gu Jianming sat on the side, minding his own business. Then, he took off Xin Nianyin's high heels and placed her feet on his lap.

An inch at a time, with just the right amount of strength, he helped her pinch her numb legs.

Xin Xinyin had forgotten to react. Ever since Gu Bo had taken off her shoes, she had been staring unwaveringly at the man in front of her.

He looked at Gu Mai as if he was looking at a monster. Just what kind of excitement did he suffer today? Suddenly so abnormal?

Gu Ying, who was concentrating on the movements of his hands, didn't even need to look to know the expression on Xin Nianyin's face.

"Don't be afraid of me in the future, okay?"

Gu Qi gently said, but in her tone, there was a majesty that could not be resisted by Xin Nianyin.

Xin Nianyin didn't expect Gu Jianming to be so conflicted over this question. For a moment, she didn't know what to say to him.

In the face of Xin Nianyin's silence, Gu Jianming didn't get angry, but he just sighed lightly.

"There are some things that I can't explain to you right now, but you have to know that even if you saw it with your own eyes, it might not be true."

After a long while, Gu Bo slowly said these words. At this moment, he didn't realize that he was actually explaining it to a girl.

And the explanation, is the best tenderness.
