C7 You're afraid of me?

You're afraid of me?

She shifted her gaze down and suddenly came into contact with the object in his hand. Her brain exploded.

"You came in with the key?" How could you have my key?! "

Gu Lingfeng held her in his arms, his posture like a close lover. He threw the key into the air, caught it firmly, and spoke slowly and deeply.

"Unfortunately, I just found out that the 'beautiful lady' who rented my house is you."

His house?

This news was like a bolt out of the blue.

Qin Ran thought back to the day when the house agent had a clear understanding of the situation. He looked at the man in front of him with a teasing look and gave him a hard shove, "You planned me out?!"

How could there be such a coincidence!?

She had also been wondering why she would rent such a cheap house in A City, where every inch of land was worth a lot of money. But since the broker had given her an explanation, and she really needed a place to stay, she didn't think any further about it.

However, from the looks of it now, it was difficult to say whether someone had not intentionally connected all these matters.

This time, Gu Lingfeng let go of his hold on her and let her take a cautious step back. He crossed his arms and looked at her calmly, "Although I don't know what you're talking about, I'm afraid you might be delusional."

There were two deep pools on his face, and he was staring at her, his mood unfathomable.

"You dare to say that you didn't intentionally hire this house out for me?" Qin Ran didn't know why, but whenever there was something related to this man, she would get angry and lose control of herself.

In prison, she had vowed to make him taste her pain a hundred times over. However, after seeing the light of day once again, the difference in strength between the two of them became more and more obvious. This feeling of powerlessness made her almost go crazy.

"You're thinking too much." Gu Lingfeng walked around the house, checking the completeness of the furniture, "This room has been empty for a long time, I rented it out to a graduate student. Now that the lease date is not up and he has transferred it without permission, I just found out."

His voice was calm and peaceful. Qin Ran felt as if all of his anger had been punched on cotton, making him even more depressed.

She really didn't want to argue with him. Since this house was his and she couldn't chase him away, she might as well leave.

Blood rushed to his brain from the soles of his feet, and he felt a sharp pain at his temples. Qin Ran glanced at that straight back of his which was like a birch tree. He turned around and walked towards his bedroom, closing the door with a bang.

Ten minutes later, fully dressed, she stood in front of him with her poor little suitcase and spread out her hands. "Since this house shouldn't be rented to me, you pay the rent and I'll move out."

As he spoke, he took out the key and slammed it on the table.

She did not want to have any contact with this man in her future life.

At first, she didn't want to get the rent back, but that was almost all she had now. If she couldn't get it back, then she could only go to the shelter.

Gu Lingfeng didn't go to get the key, but instead looked around between her and the luggage. Suddenly, he smiled, "Qin Ran, do you think I should be the one paying you?"

"?" Qin Ran raised his eyes to look at him. His eyelids were very deep, making his eyes seem even more enchanting.

"Don't forget, this house was rented to you by my last tenant through an intermediary." Gu Lingfeng sat down slowly and tapped his fingers on the table, "The tenant took your rent and the intermediary earned a fee. As for these things, I have never participated in them from the beginning to the end ?"

His sexy and slightly hoarse voice dragged on for a long second, before he looked up. "So, what does this have to do with me?"

Qin Ran was completely speechless.

When she worked before, she specialized in public relations and learned how to get on good terms with people. She couldn't be like him, gliding around in the mall and wielding life and death power. And now, of course, she could not outspeak him.

Indeed, there was no contract between her and him. She was really too muddle-headed to seek payment from him. What was the difference between this and humiliating yourself?

Qin Ran glanced at the man's eyes that contained a smile yet not a smile. He gritted his teeth and nodded. I don't want this rent, just treat it as being bitten by a dog. I have to pay the medical fees, right? "Thank you, Mr. Gu."

After spitting out a few words in rapid succession, she tightened her grip on the box in her hand and prepared to rush out the door.

The black figure was faster than she was. It quickly stepped over the stool and blocked the entrance, cutting off her path.

Gu Lingfeng made a 'tsk' sound as he lightly shook his head, staring at her without letting go, "I remember that in the past, your words were clearly different from those of someone else. No matter how hateful you are, you can still tolerate it. Can't you pretend to be nice to me? "

"Shut up!" This form of address instantly destroyed the calmness that Qin Ran had been trying so hard to maintain. She raised her voice a few degrees, "Are you even f * cking worthy of this form of address?!"

He used to stroke her hair when they were together, calling her name softly.

Slowly. He murmured softly, as if she was his most precious treasure.

However, all of this was fake! Qin Ran knew that all of them were fake. They were just deceiving her in order to get what he wanted from her.

A hint of darkness flashed past Gu Lingfeng's eyes. He raised his arm, wanting to touch the top of her head, but his warning gaze stopped him in the end.

He put his hands down behind his back and looked at her. "You hate me so much?"

"Hate?" When Qin Ran heard him spit out the word, he found it funny no matter how he listened, "How could I dare to hate you, Mr. Gu? After all, you are a character who would shake the entire A City with a single stamp of your foot. "I'm afraid to provoke you, so you'll find another reason to send me to the station as you did before."

"Ran" Gu Lingfeng originally wanted to call out her name, but after some thought, he retracted his words, "Regardless of whether you believe it or not, the person who sent you in that time was not me."

"Of course not." Qin Ran almost laughed out of anger. He raised his head and gave a pondering look, "The one suing me is the company I betrayed." "Now that you mention it, I can't even remember who I sold the company's secrets to."

He had tried to trick her into going in, but her company had failed and she hadn't known it, and she had somehow been convicted of financial crimes.

It wasn't until the charges were pronounced that she understood. But when he got out, his mother was gone, his home was gone, everything was gone.

It was no use telling her this now, except to make her more disgusted with him.

"That matter was my fault." Gu Lingfeng's pupils constricted, as if he had recalled something, "But I have my own difficulties." "Ran Ran, when they sued you, I tried to save you, but ?"

"You can explain these things to my mother when you die. Maybe my mother will tell me in a few decades. " Qin Ran dragged the box and crashed it in front of him, attempting to break out of the door, "Get out of the way!"

The man stood motionless in the doorway.

The two of them were in a stalemate. Gu Lingfeng turned his eyes over and over again before finally calming down, "You're afraid to face me?"

Qin Ran stopped his attempt to rush out and resisted the urge to slap him. He straightened his neck and said with a tone full of mockery, "Yes, I am extremely scared."

She did fear him. This man looked cold and distant on the surface, but some outrageous plan was brewing beneath that mask. But she did not want to show weakness in front of him.

"Don't be afraid." Gu Lingfeng curled the corner of his mouth, but he did not seem to be smiling, "The rent won't be refundable, this room is yours ? you can take it." "Don't worry, I won't come again."

Before she could say anything, he took out the key from his ring and placed it next to the one she had just left. He then turned around and walked out, his movements smooth and fluid.

The door opened and closed as if in a dream.

Qin Ran stared at the tightly shut metal door in front of him. After a long time, he finally relaxed his tensed muscles.
