Chapter 677: Love Between Us
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
In the presidential suite of Qian Feng Hotel, a woman was standing by the window with a gla.s.s of red wine in her hand when Qian Yikun entered the room. Her lips that were as red as poppy flowers were curved upwards.
“What are you doing, Bai Yuyan?” Qian Yikun slammed the door and confronted her angrily.
Bai Yuyan leaned against the windowsill and smiled coyly. “Do you feel sorry for her?” She asked as she looked at Qian Yikun. Her voice was raspy and coa.r.s.e, like tumbling raw sugar.
“I didn’t help you escape for you to stir up all this trouble, Bai Yuyan.” Qian Yikun walked to where Bai Yuyan was and put one hand on the windowsill.
Bai Yuyan still had a bandage wrapped around her wrist, and her voice that was not completely gone but severely damaged was also an aftermath of the escape.
“Didn’t you save me to show the patriarchs your loyalty? I know you too were just using me to save Ye Yuwei, Qian Yikun. It is just too bad that she has given her heart to Gu Juexi, and you are just someone who isn’t even as important as Lu Qichuan to her.” Bai Yuyan straightened her back and walked up to Qian Yikun. Her face was right next to his when she said with her coa.r.s.e voice, “Don’t forget, Qian Yikun, you were just using me to get into the Bai family. To become the son-in-law of the Bai family is almost impossible unless you are proven to be more compatible than Gu Juexi.”
Qian Yikun shoved Bai Yuyan against the window. He gripped her shoulders so hard that the force knocked the wine gla.s.s out of her hand and the wine spilled all over the floor.
Bai Yuyan’s back hit the window hard but she acted as if she didn’t feel the pain and began to laugh very seductively. “What’s wrong, cat got your tongue?”
“Bai Yuyan, a woman like you deserves nothing more than to be treated like a puppet,” Qian Yikun snarled.
“What do you mean by a woman like me? What difference is there between you and me? Didn’t you start to court me only after knowing my ident.i.ty? How would you have gotten into the Bai family’s fortress if it wasn’t for me? Now that you have learned about the truth about Ye Yuwei, didn’t you save me from the prison at the patriarchs’ demand just to protect Ye Yuwei?”
Qian Yikun took his hands off Bai Yuyan’s shoulders and slowly stepped back with his lip curling. “So you knew. Take good care of the remaining parts of your hands and voice, Bai Yuyan, or I swear that if Gu Juexi doesn’t kill you, I will,” Qian Yikun finished his sentence and wanted to leave the suite.
“Was there ever any love between us, Qian Yikun?” Bai Yuyan asked loudly with disappointment in her rough voice.
Qian Yikun stopped walking and looked back at Bai Yuyan who had got down from the windowsill and stood beside the shattered wine gla.s.s.
He looked at Bai Yuyan intently without saying anything.
Bai Yuyan stared at Qian Yikun with tears welling in her eyes.
As Gu Juexi had deducted, Bai Yuyan’s love toward Qian Yikun was real. Although she gave him up eventually for money, it was undeniable that Qian Yikun was the most important thing to Bai Yuyan besides money.
“No,” Qian Yikun answered without hesitation and left the suite.
Bai Yuyan howled in despair when she heard Qian Yikun and flung the wine bottle at the side onto the floor. It shattered into pieces and wine soaked the floor as the bottle broke.
