Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation
Gu Qingluan swiftly leaned back, avoiding the man’s intimacy. Her delicate face flushed with anger, her gaze turned icy, and she angrily kicked towards him. “Miss you, my foot! Get lost!”
The man casually held her ankle and lightly squeezed her calf.
Gu Qingluan felt a slight numbness where he touched her, and then her entire leg seemed to lose strength as if it didn’t belong to her.
His eyes narrowed slightly, and he said with a meaningful tone, “It seems like you’re quite skilled in this move, but… after a setback, I can’t just ignore the lesson.”
Gu Qingluan’s eyes widened suddenly.
She had kicked Feng Tianlan before. How did he know?
Could it be…
“Are you really Feng Tianlan?”
The man sighed softly, “Yes and no.”
“What do you mean?”
A hint of slyness flashed in his purple eyes, and he spoke lightly, “Kiss me, and I’ll tell you.”
Gu Qingluan was furious and gave him a fierce glare. “Dream on!”
“Heh!” The man chuckled, “A woman who says one thing and means another.”
You’re the one who says one thing and means another! Your whole family is like that!
Gu Qingluan’s face darkened as she activated her arcane power, causing her aura to suddenly surge.
The man’s eyes showed a hint of appreciation, then he lowered his head and kissed her lips.
Gu Qingluan didn’t expect him to suddenly use this move, and she was shocked. Her eyes widened, and the arcane power she had just gathered dissipated in an instant.
“Ugh!”
Under his a.s.sault, Gu Qingluan was overwhelmed, her mind going blank.
“Boom! Boom! Boom!”
Suddenly, a rapid knocking on the door sounded like thunder in Gu Qingluan’s head.
She abruptly regained her senses and realized her embarra.s.sing situation. Her face turned as red as fire.
She pushed the man away with one hand and slapped his face with the other. “You pervert!”
The man accurately caught her wrist, and a faint smile played on his lips. His mesmerizing phoenix-like eyes held a hint of amus.e.m.e.nt. “You were clearly enjoying it just now.”
“Shut up!” Gu Qingluan was both embarra.s.sed and angry, wishing she could just get rid of this guy.
He took advantage of the situation yet feigned ignorance.
While seething with anger at the man, she couldn’t help but feel frustrated about why she had succ.u.mbed just moments ago!
She seriously wanted to punch herself in the head! No, she should punch that scoundrel’s head first!
“Mistress? What happened?”
Came a worried and hurried inquiry from Su Lie outside.
Gu Qingluan forcefully pulled her hand away, pushed the dangerous man several meters away from her, and then gave him a threatening look with her eyes, signaling him not to make a sound.
The man, using the force of being pushed away, sat on the bed, hands behind him, his gaze openly wandering over her.
The aggressive look in his eyes made Gu Qingluan’s face darken even more.
However, considering the person outside the door, she suppressed her urge to explode and replied loudly, “I’m fine.”
With that, she walked toward the door, intending to speak with Su Lie outside.
At this moment, the man’s taunting voice rang in her mind, “Aren’t you afraid of someone seeing you like this?”
Gu Qingluan abruptly stopped in her tracks, her finger lightly touching her swollen lips. Her face blushed even more, and she turned back to give the man an angry glare.
The man gazed at her with a teasing smile, his expression full of mockery.
Gu Qingluan gritted her teeth.
She told herself to stay calm.
Revenge is a dish best served cold.
Sooner or later, she would make this guy pay!
Because she didn’t look presentable to meet anyone, Gu Qingluan didn’t open the door.. Instead, she asked through the closed door, “Have you found any clues about Feng Tianlan?”
