Chapter 19: Chapter 19: Can’t Tell if it’s Straight or Bent?
“Gu Annan!” she immediately warned, “don’t come any closer.”
The proximity to Gu Annan inexplicably gave her a sense of extreme danger.
“I’ve spent two hundred thousand, and you’re telling me not to come over?”
Lu Wanwan couldn’t tell if that was him deliberately provoking her, or a reminder before they rolled in the sheets.
But what about the supposed lack of interest?
However, she bit her tongue on that remark, knowing if said out loud, it might infuriate Gu Annan and then the two hundred thousand would be gone.
“I can help you prove it in other ways,” she said, like a rabbit cornered.
Gu Annan’s eyebrows knitted together as he crossed his arms and looked at her, “Prove what?”
“Prove… prove that you’re not gay…”
His eyes suddenly glinted with a cold light, and he dropped his hand sharply, his voice grave, “Say that again!”
“It’s not what I said… there are rumors that you’re bent, so…”
The corner of Gu Annan’s mouth twitched, and he raised his eyebrows suddenly, showing a look of immense doubt about her intelligence, “Can you not tell if I’m straight or not? Or is the feeling not strong enough?”
Lu Wanwan thought to herself, when had she ever gotten that impression! Besides, it’s not easy to spot someone closeted, right?
“Right, you were so out of it, you didn’t even know who you slept with,” Gu Annan sneered coldly, his eyes and brows icing over with a layer of frost at the mention of the incident, “No matter. You have a whole month to get a clear feel again!”
“Don’t!” she blurted out, panic-stricken within.
Gu Annan’s brow furrowed as he grabbed her wrist, and with their faces extremely close, his lips curved into a cold arc, “For every ‘don’t’, I’ll deduct ten thousand!”
“What, what?” Lu Wanwan instantly wilted like a frosted eggplant.
She knew she had said something foolish the moment the words left her mouth, waiting for his outburst. But his opening response was to deduct money, a strike that was all too precise.
“You’re shameless! Bullying!” Lu Wanwan’s voice wavered.
Two hundred thousand for a month, and just because of one sentence, he deducted ten thousand from her.
At this rate, was she going to end up owing him money after a few more days?
Gu Annan lifted her chin with his hand, looking down at her from above, “Lu Wanwan, this was your own agreement; I didn’t force you! You can still back out now, but soon you won’t have the chance to break our deal midway.
Lu Wanwan disliked that look in his eyes, so superior, making her feel as if she was beneath his notice.
She bit her lip, mustering a defiant smile, “Don’t worry, Mr. Gu; as long as you don’t back out, I won’t regret it. If you decide to back out, that’s fine too. I thank you for giving me such a great idea; I really couldn’t have thought of it myself. Just let me know a bit earlier, and I can still find other… gold…”
A sharp pain shot through her jaw as she clenched her teeth, facing the man who, in an instant, became furiously incensed, his gaze as if he wished to tear her apart.
“Repeat what you just said, and you won’t get a cent of the remaining one hundred and ninety thousand,” Gu Annan’s voice was ice cold, his articulation sharp and chilling, “And I’d like to see who in Manchester dares to want you without my permission!”
As soon as his words fell, her lips hurt from his fierce bite, forceful enough to take her breath away.
All struggles were in vain; her head was forcefully held in place, the kiss dominant and despotic, and she could even taste a trace of sweet, metallic flavor…
It was unclear how long it lasted before she was finally released, her cheeks scorched by his hot breaths.
Gu Annan’s forehead rested against hers as he took deep breaths, his gaze lowered to her now swollen and reddened lips.
Realizing he had lost control again because of this detestable woman, all because of her one sentence.
