Chapter 179 Bold and Adventurous
Her eyes were slightly panicked, but she spoke in a firm tone: "Third Master, please be respectful!"
Didn’t they just say that she was willing to be his girlfriend and talked about getting married in the future?
Why did he become so distant in the blink of an eye?
He has never cared about this so-called self-respect issue and has never given it much thought.
In Gao Zeyu's opinion, the physical contact between the two of them just now was nothing at all, not even a little bit of intimacy.
If her legs hadn't been injured and she hadn't shown any panic or resistance, he would have grabbed the back of her neck and pressed his lips hard against hers.
He even imagined her body pressed against his chest, as if not even a trace of air could pass between them. The image made his heart move slightly.
But now he didn't do anything excessive, he just wanted to hold her for a while, but she used her hands to push him away a little.
The more she was unwilling to get close to him, the more he wanted to hold her in his arms.
So he tightened his arms, holding her body tightly in his arms, and gently brushed his nose against her hair, feeling the faint fragrance of her body.
What brand of shampoo does she use?
The smell was so fragrant and light that he couldn't help but want to take a few more breaths.
His voice was low, as if carrying a certain irrefutable magnetism: "Stop it. Aside from the two titles of 'girlfriend' and 'marriage', I promise you everything else."
Shen Yan almost couldn't help laughing when she heard this. Was he teasing her with such words?
If she couldn't defeat him now, she wouldn't bother to continue pretending and wasting her breath here.
Did he really think that she was just like those other young girls who were inexperienced in the world and could be easily be charmed by a few words?
For a woman, the difference between being a mistress and being a legitimate wife is clearer than anyone else - there is a world of difference between them.
She leaned close to his ear and whispered softly, "Third Master, I just want to be your girlfriend and marry you. I am willing to be Mrs. Gao San."
As soon as he finished speaking, Gao Zeyu immediately frowned, slowly sat up straight, narrowed his deep eyes, and stared at her straight.
His eyes were sharp, as if he had seen through her thoughts, and he said slowly: "Don't think I can't see through what you are thinking."
His tone was unhurried, with a hint of calmness and determination, "You are deliberately saying things that irritate me so that I will give up on you, right?"
Shen Yan was speechless for a moment, her heart was filled with a wave of shock. She never expected that he would guess so accurately.
She thought her cover-up was flawless, but he saw through her thoughts at a glance. This insight made her surprised and uneasy.
Gao Zeyu's eyes became even colder, like a cold pond without a trace of temperature. He gently raised his finger and slowly stroked her earlobe along her earlobe.
It was an intimate touch that was almost frivolous yet possessed a sense of control. It made her feel numb and made it impossible for her to ignore the sense of threat he released.
She subconsciously wanted to shrink back, her body instinctively resisting this oppressive closeness, wanting to break free from his control.
However, he was quicker, and immediately stretched out his fingers to pinch her chin, lifting her face mercilessly.
She was forced to raise her head and look directly into those cold eyes that concealed a dangerous glint.
His voice was low and hoarse, like some undercurrent coming from the night.
His breath carried a slight hint of pine scent, mixed with his own scent, blowing on her face, as if to blow his will directly into her heart.
"Chen Yan, don't try to be clever, and don't try to play any tricks on me. These little tricks of yours are not worth mentioning to me, they are completely useless."
He spoke with certainty and cruelty, as if he was pronouncing a certain outcome.
Chen Yan bit her lower lip, suppressing the stubbornness and unwillingness that surged in her heart. Her voice was so low that it seemed as if it would be blown away by the night wind at any time. "But Third Master, I don't want to be someone else's lover. It's not that I don't want to be with you, but there are only two possibilities - you can just be my girlfriend, or we can get married. As long as it's you, I can accept it."
"If we weren't in that relationship, I really... wouldn't want to put myself in a difficult position and go back with you."
She continued, her tone pleading, "I don't want to be the one who has to lower her head and cry secretly after being taken home. You don't want that either, do you? That would make neither of us feel comfortable."
“You’ll feel irritated, even bored.”
She paused, trying to evoke his empathy with her words, "You will feel bad too."
"Which man wants to find a woman who is always gloomy and crying all the time?"
Her speech slowed down, and each sentence seemed to be stating some fact. "What man wants to live an unhappy and restless life?"
"If I'm unhappy, you won't feel good either. Your family won't be at peace either."
Her tone became softer and softer, but her voice was remarkably firm. "I'll make you so uneasy that you won't know whether to sit or stand. And you'll eventually become extremely annoyed by all this, won't you?"
Gao Zeyu slightly increased the force of the hand that was pinching her chin, and his fingertips almost dug into her cheek, as if he wanted to pull the answer out of her face.
He was restless, angry, and even a little frustrated.
He himself couldn't help but start to doubt why she rejected him like this!
How he wanted to pry her mouth open and let her tell him in person what she wanted in order for her to bow her head and respond to him?
What exactly is not good enough about him?
What on earth was so unworthy of her that she would rather refuse his approach?
"Ten million," he said in a tone as cold as a knife, throwing out the words decisively, "Follow me for three years, and it's ten million."
Shen Yan suddenly opened her eyes wide, and an incredible shock flashed in her eyes for a moment.
"Ten million?!"
She almost suspected that she had heard it wrongly, as the sound exploded and buzzed in her head.
In this day and age, when wages are only a few thousand yuan or a few dozen yuan a month, he actually said "ten million" just to buy her three years?
This number is astonishingly large and shocking!
She had to admit that her heart was beating so fast that it seemed like it was about to burst through her chest!
She had even quickly calculated the huge sum of money in her mind - ten million!
She can use the money to buy a house and invest in real estate in the 1990s, which will make her future life completely worry-free and she won't have to worry about food and clothing for the rest of her life.
Just as she was still weighing and struggling, Gao Zeyu spoke again, his tone still that cold and unyielding, but even more resolute: "Twenty million."
Shen Yan quickly covered his mouth, fearing that he would say something unmanageable, "Shh, Third Master, stop talking."
Her heart beat faster and her emotions were a little confused. She was afraid that if he continued talking, she would really not be able to help but nod in agreement.
