Chapter 98: Chapter 98 Why push her into the fire pit?! _1
He threatened her with his fiery temper, his handsome face bruised in spots, a sight that frightened Chenxing.
"You?" Chenxing was speechless in fury.
Ignoring her, he asked, "Will you leave or not?"
Biting her lip, she muttered curses towards him. Chenxing sniffled, "I will!"
"Remember to be polite, whatever my eldest brother does, you can’t talk back to him. Later, brother three will buy you sweets," Nan Baihao prodded her to take each step forward.
Chenxing, on the verge of tears, wondered what use candy was when she especially despised it.
Chenxing gripped the door handle, hesitating whether she could avoid entering. Nan Baihao gave her a no-choice gaze. Feeling distressed, she burst into tears.
"Get out!"
Just as she entered, a voice devoid of warmth came from inside.
Chenxing was scared, she wanted to leave, but was stuck between a rock and a hard place. Moreover, at this point, Nan Baihao had already locked the door from outside. In her heart, she silently beseeched, "Heaven, you must protect me."
"I told you to get out. Are you deaf?"
"The door is locked. I can’t get out," Chenxing’s voice was just like that of a mosquito. His cold eyes locked onto her, causing her to shiver with fear. It was all Nan Baihao’s fault - why did he have to push her into a burning pit?
Chenxing’s unhappy face was twisted in struggle. She swept a glance at his elegant study, the scene was grueling. Books lay everywhere on the floor, her special little desk was smashed, and both black and white Go pieces were scattered around. It was more terrifying than post-disturbance scenes she’d seen from Tibet on TV.
Was this man violent when angry?
Thankfully, there were two survivors: his office desk and the chair he was sitting in.
Phew~~
Meeting Gu Shaocheng’s amber eyes, she shivered once more.
Chenxing shrank back, wishing she knew the awesome Invisibility Technique. Once he finishes smashing his office table, won’t it be her turn next?
Gu Shaocheng’s eyes seemed like roaring ice-fire, why ice-fire? Because it made her feel oddly hot and cold, an unbearable dual torment, do you understand?
Thankfully, Gu Shaocheng rotated his chair 180 degrees, loading his whole body whilst facing outside the window.
Chenxing felt like she did narrowly escape from a catastrophe.
She dared not move, just squatted in the corner counting her fingers. After a long while seeing him not losing his temper, she as much as possible reduced her presence, squatting on the ground to sort through the scattered books and picking up the scattered Go pieces from the carpet, even her breath was meticulous
"Come here!" At that moment, his icy voice echoed in the quiet office. She shivered, and stayed put, unmoving.
"Did you not hear?"
Chenxing treaded very lightly as she made her way towards Gu Shaocheng. She cautiously looked at him, "Shaocheng, are you okay?"
As she asked, she prepared to escape. If she saw any wrong vibes from his eyes, she would skedaddle. She did not plan to surrender and wait for her doom.
"Shaocheng?" Her voice was soft, and also gentle, like a cherishable small beam of sunlight in the vast darkness, it brought warmth into his heart, but couldn’t restrain the boundless darkness that was surging within him.
