"Gu Chengyu, what are you doing?"

Her chest heaved violently, her voice trembled with anger and fear, and her beautiful eyes, which were always full of tenderness, were now filled with grievance as she stared intently at the dangerous man in front of her.

Gu Chengyu was taken aback by her fierce resistance.

He immediately frowned, his face so dark it seemed to drip water.

He took a step closer, his tall figure completely enveloping her in shadow, exuding an oppressive aura: "What are you pretending for?"

Lin Shu looked at the naked desire and impatience in his eyes, and a chill ran from the soles of her feet to the top of her head.

She was extremely clever and immediately realized that if he succeeded in taking advantage of her here tonight, then in Gu Chengyu's eyes, she, Lin Shu, would be completely reduced to a plaything.

Forget about rising to a higher position; she won't even have her former status as a kept woman anymore.

Her strong will to survive unleashed astonishing courage.

Far from backing down, she straightened her back, raised her head, and spoke in a sharp, excited voice, yet also with a desperate, indignant tone:

"I'm faking it? Gu Chengyu, you bastard!"

"What do you take me for? Huh?"

She pointed to the red marks on her wrist, her voice trembling, "A thing that can be summoned and dismissed at will?"

"We've already broken up, what gives you the right to interfere?"

Gu Chengyu's face turned even uglier. He had never been called a bastard by a woman, especially one he had once kept.

Tears welled up in Lin Shu's eyes, but she stubbornly refused to let them fall.

She took a deep breath, her voice suddenly lowering: "Yes! I like you! I like you so much that I didn't dare to breathe loudly in front of you before! I like you so much that even though I knew you were surrounded by women, I still foolishly hoped that you would look at me more!"

She looked at him with an extremely complex expression, filled with hatred, pain, and resentment, yet also with a deep and unwavering affection.

"But my affection, my sincerity, are not something you can trample on like this!"

"Gu Chengyu, you...you have disappointed me so much! You are not worthy of my affection at all!"

While calling him a "bastard," she kept saying "I like you," positioning herself as a humble admirer and accusing him of heartlessness.

Gu Chengyu wanted to blacklist her the moment she cursed him as a bastard.

An actress, does she really think she's something?

But as he listened to her accusations, each one laced with affection, his inherent male flaws surfaced inappropriately.

After all, he enjoyed being fawned over by a beautiful woman. (This chapter has been read. Please click to continue reading the next chapter!)
