Chapter 39 Who gave you the guts?

Gu Jingcheng gritted his teeth to barely suppress the regret in his heart.

He struggled to his feet.

His eyes were filled with panic and helplessness.

Lin Wei instinctively curled up and quickly retreated to the other side of the bed.

Undeniably, it was Gu Jingcheng who rescued her from that ill-intentioned drinking party.

But now...

Three years ago, on that drunken night when she almost lost her virginity...

Those chaotic and terrifying images flooded her mind like a tidal wave!

Lin Wei trembled slightly, unable to control herself.

His voice trembled slightly as he tried his best to remain calm.

"Mr. Gu... I... I want to be alone for a while."

After saying that, without waiting for Gu Jingcheng to react,

Lin Wei jumped out of bed, barefoot, and rushed into the bathroom.

The door closed, and with a click, the bathroom door was locked from the inside!

The crisp sound of the lock clicking shut...

Gu Jingcheng's heart skipped a beat, as if he had been pricked by a needle.

In the room, only Gu Jingcheng's heavy breathing could be heard.

An ambiguous atmosphere lingered in the air.

Gu Jingcheng adjusted his breathing and went to open the door.

Standing outside the door was Lin Shixuan.

She specially changed into a red velvet low-cut mini dress.

"President Gu."

Lin Shixuan looked up and met Gu Jingcheng's eyes, which were as cold as could be.

He was only wearing a white shirt, with the top two buttons undone.

She revealed her sexy Adam's apple and a small patch of collarbone.

His face was expressionless.

Lin Shixuan's breath hitched, frightened away by Gu Jingcheng's chill.

"What's up?"

Gu Jingcheng's gaze lingered on Lin Shixuan for less than half a second.

The impatience and disgust in his eyes were undisguised.

"Mr. Gu, I apologize for bothering you so late. I... have some questions about hotel operations."

I wanted to report this to you personally.

Lin Shixuan's red lips were alluring, and her eyes were fixed on Gu Jingcheng with a blatant gaze.

Her voice was soft and alluring.

She turned slightly to the side, presenting her most perfect curves to him.

Approaching subtly, almost imperceptibly.

Her implication was as blatant as could be.

Gu Jingcheng narrowed his eyes, his gaze turning icy.

"Who gave you the audacity to wear clothes like this?"

Why are you appearing outside my door at this time?

Lin Shixuan was startled, and the smile on his face froze slightly.

"Mr. Gu, I..."

Lin Shixuan defended himself, saying he wanted to get one step closer.

Gu Jingcheng's eyes showed disgust.

Normally, he would ignore women who pounced on him, as long as they didn't go too far.

But today, he had a burning anger simmering inside him, and he was looking for a way to vent it.

"Stop using those underhanded tactics."

"Your status as the eldest daughter of the Lin family is not a shield for you to use for such despicable things."

Lin Shixuan's smile froze, and he clenched his fist so tightly it almost dug into his flesh.

"Mr. Gu, I...I didn't, I was just thinking about work..."

"roll!"

Gu Jingcheng's voice suddenly turned cold, his eyes sharp and piercing.

Lin Shixuan took a small step back, his face turning deathly pale.

Gu Jingcheng stopped looking at her and slammed the door shut.

The loud noise sent a shiver down Lin Shixuan's spine.

She stood outside the door, her face ashen.

He suddenly raised his hand and threw the red wine he had specially brought up into the trash can.

He stared intently at the door, his teeth grinding together.

"...Lin Wei...we'll wait!"

When Gu Jingcheng closed the door, Lin Wei was already standing at the bathroom door.

The air was filled with the residual moisture from the shower gel.

The force he had just used to lose control seemed to still have lingering effects.

Lin Wei's lips were slightly swollen and red, glistening with an alluring moisture under the warm yellow light overhead.

The thin white slip dress she wore accentuated her slender shoulders and delicate waist.

A few strands of damp hair clung to her flushed neck and cheeks.

She looked like a white gardenia covered in dew.

The brief loss of control between the two just now created an ambiguous and awkward atmosphere.

A man with an open collar, defined features, and subtly visible abs.

And a petite woman wearing only a white slip dress, her hair slightly disheveled.

The scene was incredibly arousing.

Lin Wei's cheeks burned, her eyes darted around, and she dared not look at him.

Gu Jingcheng, the man who can turn the tide in the business world.

Even when he's in a hotel room with another woman late at night, there are still people willing to come to him...

What does a kiss from a man like that represent?

A pastime on a whim?

Or... yet another prey that "voluntarily offered itself up"?

A casual prank?

Lin Wei felt as if a wad of cotton was stuck in her throat.

I feel depressed and uncomfortable.

Gu Jingcheng's gaze fell heavily on her face.

He took in all her panic and evasiveness.

Perhaps, it scared her.

"Afraid of me?"

He spoke, his voice low and hoarse.

She suddenly looked up, and their eyes met, their gazes silently intertwining in the air.

Lin Weiqiang suppressed his turbulent emotions and spoke in a polite but distant tone.

"Mr. Gu, thank you for the dinner party..."

As for that out-of-control kiss, Lin Wei didn't say it aloud.

In the adult world, some things are best forgotten.

It can avoid a lot of awkward situations.

"I'm sober now, so I won't bother you any longer. I'll head back now."

Lin Wei picked up her coat and pushed open the door to leave.

Gu Jingcheng blocked her path first.

"It's so late, let me take you home."

Lin Wei gripped the bag strap, deliberately refusing.

"No need, I'll just take a taxi."

Gu Jingcheng seemed not to hear her, and pulled her by the wrist, leading her out of the room.

On the bus.

The two remained silent the entire way.

The air was filled with the faint scent of mint emanating from Lin Wei.

Lin Wei's gaze unconsciously swept over Gu Jingcheng's wrist.

The silver watch was perfectly fine on his wrist.

Gu Jingcheng's phone rang.

It abruptly pierced the quiet air inside the car.

He didn't look at the caller ID, and pressed the answer button expressionlessly.

Gu Xuan's fawning and ingratiating voice drifted into Lin Wei's ears.

"Uncle! That stupid trending topic last time was suppressed thanks to your help! Thank you, Uncle!"

I knew you wouldn't just stand by and watch someone die!

There was a pause in the voice on the other end of the phone.

"But... this time Lin Yan and I... are trending again... it's gotten a bit big."

Uncle, could you please help me again?

I swear, this is absolutely the last time!

I promise……"

Gu Jingcheng impatiently hung up the phone before Gu Xuan could finish speaking.

A deafening ringing sound filled Lin Wei's brain.

Her face was ashen, and her body seemed to have fallen into an ice cellar.

So that's how it is!

It turns out that the trending topic that almost ruined Gu Xuan's reputation was suppressed by Gu Jingcheng!

No wonder...

She tried to find out who removed the trending topic, but found no clues!

She should have thought of that sooner!

In Jiangcheng, besides Gu Jingcheng, who else has this ability?

She went to great lengths to orchestrate the situation, finally exposing the true colors of that adulterous couple to the public.

But Gu Jing could simply raise his hand and keep Gu Xuan safe and sound.

Let her efforts become a joke.

A tremendous disappointment weighed on her heart.

She looked at Gu Jingcheng, the man who had just forcefully entered her mouth.

At this moment, he is driving, impeccably dressed.

It was as if that uncontrolled, enchanting moment had never happened.

Her grip on the phone tightened suddenly, her nails digging deep into her palm.

But I can't feel any pain.

In the end, she decided to ask him herself.

Lin Wei raised her eyes, parted her lips, and looked on with despair.

"President Gu...why did you help Gu Xuan get the trending topics removed?!"
