C9 He Was Addicted

"Xiaomin, the Gu family is too complicated. I don't want you getting involved in this mess. Come with me. I'll take care of things with your mother. Trust me."

Ann Xiaomin truly considered Gu Xiurann as family. Since he had never lied to her, she finally nodded in agreement.

"Okay." She really didn't want to face that beast, Gu Junbai, anymore.

According to Gu Xiurann's plan, Ann Xiaomin would first hide in his private apartment. Then, he would find a way to bring Ann's mother over, and they would both be sent abroad, where Ann's mother could receive better treatment.

Ann Xiaomin listened to Gu Xiurann and anxiously waited in the apartment for two days. But instead of her mother, Steward Ning and several of the Gu family’s burly bodyguards showed up.

"Great Young Madam, the young master sent me to bring you home."

Without a doubt, Ann Xiaomin was taken back to Prosperous Garden. Once inside the grand hall, Steward Ning and the bodyguards left her alone.

In the luxurious hall, only Gu Junbai was there. He sat on the living room sofa like a grim reaper, the scars on his face making him look even more sinister. Seeing Ann Xiaomin was like igniting a long-dormant bomb; he suddenly exploded, his large, slender hand gripping her delicate neck.

"Ann Xiaomin, you've got some nerve running off with another man. Are you trying to get yourself killed?"

People always tried to cozy up to him, to win his favor, especially women who would do anything for his attention. But this woman dared to elope with another man while still bearing his wife's title.

Ann Xiaomin struggled to breathe as Gu Junbai's hand clamped around her neck like iron. "You monster, let me go..."

She had so many questions. How did Gu Junbai know where she was? Had she dragged Mr. Xiurann into this mess? On the way back, she asked Steward Ning, but he refused to say anything, only telling her to ask Gu Junbai and giving her a specific warning.

"Great Young Madam, the young master has had a temper since he was a child. You should try to go along with him. Above all, take care of yourself this time." He sighed heavily after speaking.

Ann Xiaomin had a bad feeling then, and it turned out she was right. What temper? What going along with him? She barely had a chance to speak. He was a raging lunatic, impossible to communicate with.

"Monster? Fine, I'll show you what a real monster is."

Gu Junbai's hand remained on her throat as he leaned down and kissed her soft, red lips.

Although he was furious, he had to admit... This damn woman, she was truly irresistible, and he was hooked after just one encounter.

Ann Xiaomin was already feeling short of breath from being grabbed by the neck, and now with her mouth covered, it felt like she was drowning. She was extremely uncomfortable, her limbs flailing desperately.

In the final seconds before Ann Xiaomin was about to pass out from lack of oxygen, Gu Junbai finally moved away from her lips.

Ann Xiaomin wasn't considered short among women, but compared to Gu Junbai, who was nearly six foot three, she seemed quite petite and delicate.

The feeling of being manipulated and powerless was absolutely terrible.

She was completely under his control, and the physical and emotional humiliation she felt made Ann Xiaomin both sad and pitying of herself.

"You beast, let me go."

They were still in the living room, and someone could walk in at any moment. This lunatic.
