C9 It Was Already Very Late

"Did I do anything to offend you?" He said calmly.

"Of course not," Gu Yuling quickly denied and laughed dryly. Then she explained, "It's already very late. If I don't go back soon... I am afraid that my family will be worried, so I do not need to trouble Director Sheng..."

As Gu Yuling spoke, a desolate feeling spread in her heart. Only the Gu family would not care about her life or death.

No, perhaps it was because she cared. She was just a living vessel.

She held onto the edge of the bed. Because of the pain, bean-sized beads of sweat slowly rolled down from her forehead, making Sheng Jingxun's heart tighten.

This woman's stubbornness far exceeded his imagination.

He stretched out his hand to stop Gu Yuling and said in a commanding tone, "Stay here obediently. The doctor will be here soon. As for your home, I will call them and tell them clearly."

The man's powerful aura oppressed the surroundings and the temperature in the room dropped by a few degrees. Gu Yuling knew that he was concerned about her but she did not dare to accept this concern.

She had been deceived countless times. How could she be sure of every word of Sheng Jingxun?

"Director Sheng, you don't need to do this." She took a deep breath so that she wouldn't cry out in pain, "You'd better let me leave."

Her insistence ignited a flame in Sheng Jingxun's eyes. Gu Yuling looked up and saw the pair of hawk eyes. She couldn't help but lick her dry lips and didn't know what to do.

In Gu Yuling's eyes, there was only a hierarchy between them, but was he angry?

The next second, Sheng Jingxun suddenly came close. His narrow eyes were filled with obvious annoyance. He held his hand and easily wrapped it around Gu Yuling's slender waist.

Gu Yuling cried out in shock. She was firmly locked in his arms and could not move.

She was embarrassed and angry. She shouted while pushing and pushing, "You can't force me to stay here!"

"You are not used to it? I remember you were very enthusiastic that night," Sheng Jingxun leaned over and whispered into her ear. His tone did not have the slightest hint of teasing.

Hearing this, Gu Yuling became obedient.

Sheng Jingxun did not give her a chance to react. He suddenly kissed Gu Yuling's lips and wanted to conquer the city step by step.

"Oh!" Gu Yuling, who had just become obedient, started to resist. She hit the man's chest with all her strength, but it was to no avail. Gradually, she felt weak all over.

Sheng Jingxun's body always emitted a dangerous aura, which made her feel extremely uneasy.

Gu Yuling knew very well that this kind of man was not someone she could provoke. She immediately felt some despair.

After an unknown amount of time, Sheng Jingxun finally let go of her. His eyes flickered a few times. He seemed to be in a very good mood. Contrary to him, Gu Yuling was wiping her lips vigorously.

"Director Sheng, you are more of a rogue than I imagined." She fiercely glared at the man. The strange thing was that the feeling in her heart was not disgust.

Sheng Jingxun had a very good smell of wood fragrance on his body. At this moment, he was surrounding her. He laughed lightly. "Then I am very curious. What kind of me do you think I am?"

"At least not now!" Gu Yuling gritted her teeth and decisively lifted her other foot. She stepped on Sheng Jingxun fiercely.

The man grunted, but did not let go. Instead, he held her tighter. When he looked up again, Sheng Jingxun's eyes were red.

His eyes turned cold instantly, "If you don't want what happened that night to be known to the public, you can stay here until you recover."

"You are too overbearing!" Gu Yuling shouted without caring about anything. This was totally different from the Sheng Jingxun she saw in the office during the day.

"You are right." Sheng Jingxun let her go and snapped his fingers. The family doctor walked in with his head down.

Gu Yuling could not convince Sheng Jingxun, so she had to accept her fate. After this mess, her injuries were more serious. Even if Sheng Jingxun let her go, she was afraid that she would not be able to do it.

Thinking of this, Gu Yuling sighed, "Director Sheng, I have to go to work tomorrow. If I appear with you at the company, it will be even harder to explain."

Sheng Jingxun had naturally heard of the rumors in Glory World. He thought for a while and said firmly, "You don't need to go to work. Before your injuries completely recover."

After he said that, he instructed the doctor a few more words before he turned around and left the guest room.

"You..." Gu Yuling still wanted to say something but when she looked up, she only saw the man's clothes disappear at the door. She could only swallow her words back in embarrassment.

"Is he a control maniac?" Gu Yuling asked angrily.

"Miss Gu, please accept the treatment obediently. Our young master's temper..." The family doctor was bandaging Gu Yuling and his hands kept moving. He smiled and did not continue speaking.

Gu Yuling helplessly nodded her head but a strange feeling arose in her heart. She had never been cared and taken care of so much before.

In the past, no matter how serious the injury was, she could only bear it by herself. Hence, Sheng Jingxun's gentleness made her subconsciously tremble in fear.

Wake up! She said to herself in her heart.

The heavens were giving her a chance to be reborn this time. She needed to grasp this opportunity well and topple the Gu family in one fell swoop. She needed to make those beasts deserve what they deserved. She did not have time to waste on feelings.

It was already late at night but Gu Yuling did not return to the Gu family. Gu Ranjia was anxious like an ant on a hot pan.

"Jiajia, are you still not going to rest?" Fann Lan walked in with a cup of milk in her hands and looked at her daughter strangely, "I still have to go to work tomorrow!"

"I know," Gu Ranjia answered in annoyance.

"What's wrong?"

"It's still that little slut! It's already so late and she still hasn't returned!" Gu Ranjia raised her tone and her brows were furrowed to the point of being angular. Her resentment was written all over her face.

Fann Lan was a little puzzled, "Why do you care about her? It's good that she doesn't come back, so that I won't feel stifled when I see her!"

"Aiya, you don't know. She hooked up with Sheng Jingxun and now she is very pleased with herself! Today she is still humiliating me in the company!" Gu Ranjia complained about her suffering, and her beautiful face became ferocious.

"Maybe she is with Sheng Jingxun now!"

Fann Lan was shocked and quickly pulled Gu Ranjia's hand and sat on the edge of the bed, "What is going on?"

When Gu Ranjia finished telling everything and exaggerated it, Fann Lan's face suddenly changed. She stood up with a swoosh. "We must not let this happen!"

"Jiajia, you have to hold on too! After entering Glory World for so many days, you have to let Sheng Jingxun notice you as soon as possible. Only then will your father and I have the opportunity to matchmake you." Fann Lan scolded.

Gu Ranjia curled her lips, "I do not have Gu Yuling's ability to hook up with people. In just a few days, I have started to flirt with Sheng Jingxun. I said that keeping her alive is a disaster!"

"You have to be patient. When the time comes, I will change your healthy heart. When the time comes, you will be the young mistress of Sheng family. As for that little slut... She is born with a cheap life. Isn't it as easy as pinching an ant to death? " Fann Lan said coldly.

Gu Ranjia nodded her head, as if there was a thorn in her heart. She could not wait to let that day come early.
