Chapter 8 Playing Hard to Get
"Clearance?"
Gu Chengyu sneered as if he had heard something extremely ridiculous.
"Lin Shu." He called her full name, his voice low and oppressive:
"How long have you been around me? Who in the circle doesn't know that you're mine? Huh?"
He leaned back on the sofa, stretched out his long legs, and looked arrogant:
"Now, you want to settle things with me just by flipping me a card?"
"Who gave you the courage? Or do you think that I, Gu Chengyu, can be dismissed with such a small amount of money?"
The man raised the last line of his voice, carrying the anger of a superior being offended.
The temperature in the entire lounge seemed to drop a few degrees.
He stared at her, his eyes filled with anger and a desire to plunder that was aroused by this unprecedented resistance.
She was the first woman who dared to dump him, Gu Chengyu.
The bet flashed through his mind, and Shen Que's gloating face seemed to be right in front of him.
There was no way he could lose.
Lin Shu took a half step back at his questioning, her heart pounding wildly in her chest.
She knew that whether she could truly leave a mark in his heart depended entirely on this opportunity and how she seized it.
Lin Shu looked at him, the man she once admired, loved, and carefully tried to please.
His anger and arrogance at this moment were real, so real that she almost thought he cared.
But as soon as this thought came to mind, it was shattered by the cold amusement in his eyes.
He was angry at her ungratefulness and her audacity, not at her leaving.
This realization made her heart ache.
She took a deep breath, forced herself to straighten her back again, and said in a cold and hard voice: "Master Gu, you are too serious."
"I'm just following the contract and don't want to disturb Young Master Gu from having fun."
"Oh, what a good job of following the contract."
Gu Chengyu stood up and approached her step by step. His dark gray shirt wrapped around his broad shoulders and thin waist. Every step he took stepped on Lin Shu's tense nerves.
He stopped in front of her, and they were so close that they could feel the warmth of each other's breath.
He lowered his head slightly, his hot breath brushing against her ear, his voice was very low, with a hint of intimate threat:
"Lin Shu, I have the final say on the rules of the game."
"Just because you say it's over, it's over? Who gave you this illusion?"
He raised his slender fingers and stroked her smooth jawline almost frivolously: "Trying to get my attention this way? Congratulations, you succeeded."
Lin Shu's whole body was stiff. She wanted to dodge, but her body was out of control.
The strong hormonal scent from him when he approached her, as well as the intimate words, trapped her tightly.
The remaining tenderness and admiration in her heart were stirred up by his arrogant attitude at the moment, and she was filled with hatred and...she was sinking into depravity unable to control herself.
No, she had to endure it and pretend.
She suddenly turned her head to avoid his touch, her voice stubborn: "Gu Chengyu! Don't go too far!"
Gu Chengyu looked at her bright and beautiful expression of anger and fear, which was more vivid and attractive than her previous flattery.
His Adam's apple rolled, and instead of retreating, he leaned forward, his thin lips almost touching her earlobe, and told her with the arrogance of a determined win: "Excessive? This is just the beginning."
"Lin Shu, let's play slowly."
He stood up and resumed his lazy and arrogant posture, as if his approach just now was just an illusion.
He straightened his cuffs and said indifferently, "Okay, go film and don't delay the crew's progress."
Lin Shu bit her lower lip tightly. She didn't dare to stay for another second, for fear that she would collapse and be exposed in the next second.
She turned around abruptly, took light steps, and rushed out of the lounge as if escaping.
The hem of the gorgeous costume flashed at the door and disappeared.
The moment the door closed, Gu Chengyu took out his phone. The screen lit up, and it was a message from Shen Que: [Chengyu, I've taken note of the bet.]
[Two months, don't let your brother down.]
Gu Chengyu raised his lips in an arrogant arc, and tapped his fingertips quickly on the screen:
[Why are you in such a hurry? The show has just begun.]
