C6 Surround Her in His Arms!

"Can she just hide back in the cave?"

"But if she hides in the cave, will they really not find her?"

Qiao Mo felt like crying at her own foolishness. She shouldn't have run out; she should have snuck onto the plane quietly. If she got caught, she could have just thrown a fit and refused to get off.

After eating and drinking her fill, Qiao Mo lay on the sand pretending to sleep, hoping Gu Chi would forget about her.

Her face was tapped twice. "Little liar, get up and wash off in the sea!"

"I'm not dirty. Can't I just wash up when we get back?"

"No way, you stink. Mr. Chi will throw you off the plane."

She reluctantly got up, splashed around in the sea a bit, and washed the black mud off her face and body. As she came back to shore, she discreetly grabbed a handful of sand and stuffed it into her clothes.

Zhong Ziheng dragged her unwillingly toward the tent, while the men ogled her shamelessly.

Her tattered dress clung to her like a second skin, leaving little to the imagination. Her long neck, impressive figure, and legs that seemed to go on forever were all on display, with not an ounce of extra flesh. Her face was breathtakingly beautiful.

When Qiao Mo was pushed into the tent, Gu Chi was lying there, wearing only a pair of briefs. The firelight cast an almost otherworldly glow on his face.

Handsome, undeniably so.

But not exactly the most considerate person.

"All cleaned up?" His eyes were cold as he scrutinized Qiao Mo.

"All cleaned up, Mr. Chi. We're heading to the pool now."

"Alright! Take your time." Gu Chi waved them off.

Soon, the beach was quiet.

"Come here," Gu Chi motioned to Qiao Mo, his dark eyes calmly fixed on her.

"What do you want?"

With a swift move, he pulled Qiao Mo close, wrapping her in his arms.

"Qiao Mo, they all know what we're about to do. Don't you? Alone in a tent, what else could happen?"

Qiao Mo was taken aback. Had he figured her out?

"I thought you liked men?" she questioned.

Leaning in, Gu Chi whispered in her ear, "Little liar, I like both men and women. Your clothes are soaked, take them off."

Qiao Mo quickly tugged down her tattered dress, hugging her chest. "I didn't mean to deceive you. My mother's last name is Tong, but my ID hasn't been updated."

"Whether you're Qiao Mo or Tong Mo, it doesn't matter to me. Do you still want me to take you back?"

"Yes, yes, Mr. Gu. As long as it's not physical, I'm open to other terms."

"Hmm? Suddenly, I find women appealing too. You're only 20 and already so intriguing. I like that." His gaze dropped to her chest, and his hand on her waist began to move upward.

Panicking, Qiao Mo quickly shielded her chest with her hands. "Mr. Gu, let's make a deal. Anything but this, and I'm open to negotiation."

On this deserted island, there are no rules, no laws, no order, no morality. Right now, Gu Chi is the king. She has to humor him, then find a chance to escape later.

From the first glance, Gu Chi knew Qiao Mo was a clever little fox with a lot of nerve. While others were afraid of him, she showed no fear.

The investigation report revealed:

Qiao Mo, from River State, 20 years old, a student in the biology department at Hua University, recently graduated with a direct admission to the same major for her master's. Her father, Qiao Jinnian, is in the hotel business in River State and recently climbed the ranks to a near top-tier company. When she was six, her mother left with her younger brother and disappeared without a trace. Qiao Jinnian then married his mistress, bringing in a stepsister of the same age. The household also includes a 68-year-old grandfather. Two months ago, she fell off a yacht and was neither found alive nor dead, currently listed as a missing person by the police.

During the day, when Zhong Ziheng led a team to search for snakes, Gu Chi followed the human activity trails into the island. He discovered a shelter by a freshwater source, piles of dry wood, traces of fire, snake skins, water purification equipment, and even trash repurposed by her. He also found the cave where she was staying.

A 20-year-old girl knows all this? Gu Chi's gaze at Qiao Mo grew more intense.

"Alright, I'll think about the conditions carefully. Don't try to outsmart me. I know your situation inside out. If you make me unhappy, I'll make sure you stay on this island forever."

Qiao Mo barely had a moment to catch her breath before the man suddenly lunged at her, his tall frame pinning her down.

"Ah! What are you doing?" she screamed in surprise.
