Chapter 1697: Chapter 1697: Physical Instinct (Part 1)
Physical instinct...
She bit her lip and shook her head, "I don’t believe it."
She couldn’t believe it was just that simple. If he were truly so indulgent, she would have seen other women around him over the years.
Yue Siqing gently removed her hand that was clutching his clothes, "You’re an adult, you should understand. Jinjin, even if we did it, it doesn’t mean anything, so I don’t want to do this to you."
"Bang"
Gu Anjin slapped him hard across the face.
Yue Siqing’s face was taut, his cold gaze meeting her fury.
"Why didn’t you dodge?" Her voice cracked with a hint of sobbing.
He could have evaded it, but he took the slap head-on.
"Consider it an apology for last time." Yue Siqing released her, keeping a certain distance, "That matter ends here."
"What about just now? Are you not apologizing for what happened just now? Do I need to slap you again?"
Last time, it was an accidental hurt due to a misunderstanding, completely different from just now.
"There’s nothing to apologize for about what happened just now."
Gu Anjin pushed him away forcefully and ran out.
Yue Siqing took a deep breath, his demeanor became somewhat dejected after she left.
His tightly knit brows were deeply etched, the struggle in his eyes causing him a headache.
He glanced down at the persistent reaction in his lower abdomen and headed to the bathroom.

Gu Anjin got up in the morning, rubbing her head, another restless night.
She’d lost count of how many times they’d argued and lost their tempers over these issues.
Every single time ended bitterly, yet as things settled down, each time, she would nurture new hope.
An endless cycle.
The villa’s signal was restored, the internet was back.
The phone and SIM card were delivered to her room, she glanced at them, confirming it was indeed Yue Siqing’s phone.
She frowned at it, finally grabbing the phone, walking out of her room, and smashing it outside, then returned to tightly lock the door.
She opened her computer and went online, only then discovering the numerous messages from Song Yi that she’d missed.
After casually finding an excuse to explain, she intended to invite Song Yi for a meal, only to find out he’d left Harbor City yesterday for his next destination.
Gu Anjin smiled bitterly and shook her head, wondering if Yue Siqing had calculated the timing.
When she could finally contact Song Yi, she found he had already left Harbor City.
"Jinjin, after the last few events, I’ll have some downtime. Will you be staying in Harbor City?"
Gu Anjin replied to Song Yi’s message, "I’m heading back to London in a few days."
"I happen to plan on visiting some mentors there, see you then."
Thinking of Yue Siqing, she quickly gave Song Yi an affirmative answer.
There was a knock at the door; she’d locked herself in all morning and hadn’t eaten anything.
Gu Anjin sluggishly opened the door, assuming it was a servant bringing food.
But upon opening the door, she saw Yue Siqing’s tall figure standing outside, his pure black tailored suit making him look as cold and imposing as ever.
"What is it?"
He took out a box and handed it over.
Gu Anjin glanced at it; it was a new phone.
"If you don’t like it, I’ll have someone buy another, but you still need a phone." He looked down at her, "Even if you don’t want to use it now, you’ll need it sooner or later. Otherwise, I won’t be able to find you."
Gu Anjin took the phone and slammed the door shut.
But soon, there was another knock on the door.
"Yue Siqing, will you just stop already!" Gu Anjin reopened the door, increasingly impatient.
