"No, no need." Xu Anqing quickly closed the bedroom door and jumped in front of him.
Xu Anqing didn't hear him speak for a long time, but she could feel his burning gaze on her. She felt uncomfortable all over and finally mustered the courage to look up at him.
Gu Qishao was sitting on her old sofa. His long legs were nowhere to be found, but his aura was still powerful enough to make her small, shabby house glow.
"Am I not good-looking?" The person who was being looked at suddenly said this.
Xu Anqing didn't react. "Ah?"
Gu Qishao didn't explain. He just looked at her coldly, as if he was waiting for her reply.
"Yes, he looks pretty good, even among celebrities." As a gossip reporter, she wasn't exaggerating at all.
"Why don't you look at it?" Gu Qishao crossed his legs and leaned back against the sofa.
Xu Anqing felt that this person's brain was probably spinning. There were many people who were good-looking, so how could she stare at them one by one?
"Mr. Gu, you're looking for me? What's the matter?"
She didn't even bother to ask how he had gotten into her house. She didn't dare say anything even if he tore down her entire house.
What should come now would eventually come, so he might as well be heartless and have fun!
After Xu Anqing asked, her mood lightened quite a bit.
"Aren't you going to take responsibility for what you did to me?"
Gu Qishao raised an eyebrow, the corners of his mouth curving downwards as if he was greatly aggrieved.
Those who didn't know what she had done to him.
"I don't quite understand what Mr. Gu means." Xu Anqing gritted her teeth to hold back her anger.
Why are you saying things in such an ambiguous manner?
"You can't have forgotten what happened yesterday, right?"
Xu Anqing's pupils dilated. She had indeed come for this.
"Adding on what you did just now, you violated my body twice." Gu Qishao's thumb swept the corner of his mouth, which was stained with a negligible amount of blood.
It was fine to just hit him, but what was the point of attacking his body?
"I'm sorry, Mr. Gu, how about I get some medicine for you to wipe?" Xu Anqing purposely ignored his ambiguous words. Seeing that he didn't object, she hurried back into the house and took out the medical kit.
"What? You want me to do it myself?" When he saw that she was still holding the medicine box, he raised his eyebrows in displeasure.
Xu Anqing silently rolled her eyes. She used a cotton swab to disinfect him. When she got closer, she saw that there was a pretty deep cut at the corner of his mouth from her fingernail.
In addition to the injury she suffered yesterday, her extraordinary handsome face had gone bad no matter how she looked at it. She felt a little guilty.
After taking care of the wounds and pasting them on the Band-Aid, Xu Anqing was about to leave when she suddenly met his deep, dark eyes. Those eyes were sparkling with love and gentleness.
They couldn't help but fall.
"Why is Mr. Gu looking for me?" Xu Anqing woke up and pressed on his wound.
"I've cancelled my engagement." He looked at her brightly.
It was as if the engagement was purposely cancelled for her.
"Because of you."
Hearing Gu Qishao's words, Xu Anqing's heart skipped a beat.
However, she wasn't one of those daydreaming little girls. Naturally, she didn't think that such an important marriage between families would be cancelled because of her.
Remembering his words and the slight darting in his eyes, Xu Anqing became a little angry.
"I don't understand what Mr. Gu means." Her face was cold, and she felt a little reassured.
It seemed like the rumors in the outside world weren't all true. For example, this Gu Shao wasn't as pure and honest as he was rumoured to be. He abstinently and arrogantly flirted her the moment he entered the room.
He had undressed her while she was sleeping in the bedroom.
"You made me lose my face, do you want me to wear a long face and attend the betrothal banquet held by the various great clans? "Not to mention getting engaged, I'm not even allowed to attend the opening ceremony of the art gallery. Miss Xu, do you think I should be held accountable for this?"
Gu Qishao looked at her seriously, his eyes open.
So it was because of this that she thought too much.
Xu Anqing muttered in a low voice, "We covered it with just a little bit of powder."
"My fiancée thought that I was disrespectful to her and even the entire An clan because I broke the engagement with her. Our two families' relationship had nearly turned into a feud due to my injury …"
Hearing that he was getting serious, Xu Anqing guiltily interrupted, "Does Miss An really want to cancel the engagement with you?" I can explain to her that this has nothing to do with you. "
She felt very guilty for ruining his life.
"I wonder where this strange woman came from to explain things to my fiancée. On the day of our engagement, I said it was because she had ruined my looks. Are you sure that your explanation will not backfire?" Gu Qishao raised an eyebrow. The corners of his mouth slowly curled up as he looked at her guilty and depressed expression.
"Then what do you want to do?"
"Right now, the news about Miss An and I being at odds with each other, as well as the Gu and An families' disagreements, are all over the place. Speculations about our cancellation of the engagement are endless, and only news that is even more eye-catching can suppress the rumors." Gu Qishao glanced at his phone. Indeed, there were many missed calls.
His willful cancellation of the engagement left him with a terrible mess.
However, compared to tidying up the mess, he was more interested in what was happening right now.
"What news?" Xu Anqing asked along his line of thought.
"A sensational piece of news about my private life." Gu Qishao stood up, enveloping her in his shadow. "You won't let go of the chance to make your magazine famous, will you?"
"You mean this story was given to our magazine?" Xu Anqing raised her head and looked at him in surprise.
Gu Qishao had never given any interviews, and even private photos rarely came out. If their magazine got the chance to do an exclusive interview with him, they would definitely be furious.
But why did he choose a Sunshine magazine that was several degrees lower than him?
Gu Qishao seemed to be able to read her thoughts, he gave a light snort before saying, "This matter was caused by you, so you're naturally responsible for it. As for how the press release is written and how the photos are used, you have to listen to everything I say. If even the slightest bit of information about this leaked out, Miss Xu should know the consequences."
"Of course." Xu Anqing nodded. The small magazine had the benefits of a good magazine. Forget about it, she owed him a favor. Naturally, she did her best to help him.
"Let's go." Gu Qishao shot a glance at her, confirming that she wasn't scheming anything. Then, he turned and walked towards the door.
Xu Anqing hurriedly took up her camera and bag, while saying, "I'll get the company to vacate the studio and arrange for people to give you an interview."
Gu Qishao suddenly stopped and poked her on the forehead with his index finger. "Don't you have a brain?" he scolded helplessly. "Only the two of us know about this. If we were to cause a ruckus at your company, I'm afraid that before I even get out of your company's doors, I would be surrounded by the media."
"Don't worry, we're professionals."
"Either you and I will do exclusive interviews, or you will compensate me for my losses."
Compensation for his losses? Could the loss of work alone have cost her hundreds of times?
"Interviews, we will do interviews!" Xu Anqing raised her hand like a primary school student.
Gu Qishao couldn't help but laugh.
He took her to his apartment.
