Chapter 8 Don't blame me for being rude
Lin Yi bowed slightly and introduced in a flat tone.
"The hairstylist will come over in person later."
Gu Miaomiao looked at the pile of clothes with a cold look in her eyes.
Jiang Yanbai was going to dress her up as the most glamorous doll and bring her to that so-called dinner party for everyone to see and satisfy his twisted desire for revenge.
Lin Yi put down the last gift box, lowered his head and walked out, and the door closed with a crisp and clean sound.
Only Gu Miaomiao and Jiang Yanbai were left in the ward. The two of them confronted each other, and the air seemed to freeze.
Gu Miaomiao reached out to grab the dress box on the bed, but before she could touch it, Jiang Yanbai grabbed her wrist.
Her eyes were cold, she didn't struggle, she just looked up at him.
"You're pressing down on my clothes. I need to go to the bathroom to change."
"Change here!"
Jiang Yanbai's tone was like ice cubes falling down, without any warmth.
He tightened his grip a little, his bony fingertips clasping her slender wrist. A hint of sarcasm played at the corner of his mouth, and he watched her every move like he was watching a play.
"Is there any part of your body that I haven't seen? Why are you pretending to be innocent now?"
Gu Miaomiao expressionlessly grasped the collar of his suit and pulled it down hard.
Her fingertips slid across the buttons on his chest, unbuttoning them one by one.
The man's movements were slow but provocative.
"Is there a part of your body that I haven't seen before? Why don't we exchange it together?"
Jiang Yanbai's face darkened. He shook her hand off and turned his head toward the window. His ears flushed red as he gritted his teeth and spat out two words:
“Take it!”
It's interesting that men are still afraid of losing face.
A brief smile appeared on Gu Miaomiao's lips. She carried the expensive custom-made dress into the bathroom and deliberately made a crisp sound when closing the door.
She reflected her own appearance in the bathroom mirror—pale skin, prominent collarbones, and dark circles under her eyes. But after putting on that exquisitely tailored black fishtail dress, she seemed to be wrapped in another layer of armor, her beauty sharp and aloof.
Her high heels stomped on the tiles, each step revealing stubbornness and pride. This body of hers was no longer something that could be trampled on casually. No matter how much ridicule she faced tonight, she would not bow her head even a little.
When he pushed the door open, the light in the ward cast a shadow on the lines of his shoulders and neck. His almond-shaped eyes were still indifferent, but with a sharper edge.
Her waist was slender, and her curves were clearly revealed by the dress. Every breath she took carried a restrained and bold beauty.
Jiang Yanbai was originally sitting on the sofa, browsing his phone, but his eyes froze for two seconds, and his Adam's apple rolled unconsciously. His voice was hoarse:
"You're so slow, come over here quickly!"
Gu Miaomiao stood in front of the mirror, turned confidently, and let her skirt swing slightly. A pair of slender legs were looming, and her high heels made a crisp sound when they hit the floor. She responded lightly:
"Wouldn't it be a shame not to appreciate this figure? Besides, the hairdresser hasn't arrived yet, why are you in such a hurry?"
People whose pride gets the better of them always like to use commands to mask their panic. The more they try to control, the more they expose their own embarrassment. This kind of embarrassment is more satisfying than any humiliation.
Jiang Yanbai's patience ran out. He stepped forward, grabbed her arm, and pulled her into his arms. His strength was so strong that it seemed as if he was going to crush her. She stumbled and fell into his arms.
The chest was firm and hot, and the powerful beating could be heard through the thin fabric.
Without waiting for his reaction, Gu Miaomiao had already raised her small hand to his chest, then her index finger moved up along his Adam's apple to lift his chin, her gesture lazy and arrogant:
"Are you shy?"
The man's profile was tense, his jawline hard. He tilted his head to avoid looking, but his ears were quietly red.
In an instant, all disguises collapsed, leaving only an unspeakable resentment and hatred, as well as a desire that could not be hidden.
This woman has been his weakness from the beginning to the end, and the only person who can make him lose control.
Jiang Yanbai's breath was caught.
He forcibly suppressed the ripples in his heart caused by her provocation.
Things are different now.
He must never let this woman easily move his heart again.
His face instantly turned cold and hard as iron.
The slight panic in his eyes just now faded away, leaving only the usual frost.
He grabbed Gu Miaomiao's hand that was still resting on his chin.
The force was so great that it almost crushed her slender wrist.
"That's enough."
His voice was cold and contained a chilling warning.
"If you move again, don't blame me for being rude."
Gu Miaomiao felt pain.
His brows furrowed almost imperceptibly.
But he didn't say anything.
She pulled her hand back angrily.
The heat of his skin seemed to still remain on her fingertips.
She curled her lips, a hint of disapproval flashing across her eyes.
"If you don't move, then don't move."
"Why are you so fierce?"
After saying that, she shook off his grip, which was not completely released.
Walked straight towards the ward door.
The black fishtail skirt drew a cold and arrogant arc as she walked.
Gu Miaomiao took a few steps and stopped at the door.
The sound of high heels tapping on the ground is clear.
Behind him, there was dead silence.
She looked back with a hint of impatience.
Jiang Yanbai was still standing there, his face gloomy, his eyes fixed on her with complicated expressions.
"Are you still going?"
Jiang Yanbai's face turned ashen.
He snorted coldly.
He took a long step, brushed past her, and was the first to open the door of the ward.
Gu Miaomiao raised a hint of sarcasm at the corner of her lips, and without saying anything else, she followed him out.
Lin Yi had already arranged a car to wait downstairs.
The drive was long and depressing.
Gu Miaomiao tilted her head and looked at the colorful night scene outside the window.
The neon lights flickered, but they couldn't dispel the coldness in her eyes.
Jiang Yanbai closed his eyes and leaned back in his chair.
Only his occasional furrowed brows revealed the turmoil in his heart.
The banquet hall is located in the top hotel in Hai City.
It is magnificent and full of celebrities.
Gu Miaomiao was forced to hold Jiang Yanbai's arm and play the role of his docile female companion.
His eyes swept across the familiar yet unfamiliar faces.
A business tycoon and a lady from a prominent family.
Everyone was dressed smartly and had a nice smile on their face, but there was a hint of wit in their eyes.
Suddenly, her gaze froze.
In the crowd, a petite figure stood out.
Lin Qing.
She was wearing a light-colored dress that was out of tune with the luxurious surroundings. She was holding a glass of wine and talking with a smile.
How come she is here?
In such an occasion, with her status, she couldn't even reach the threshold.
The doubts in Gu Miaomiao's heart have not yet dissipated.
Lin Qing had already caught a glimpse of Jiang Yanbai at the entrance.
Her eyes suddenly lit up.
She immediately put down her wine glass, lifted her skirt, walked through the crowd gracefully, and came quickly.
The joy and eagerness were not concealed at all.
"Brother Yanbai."
The voice was soft and gentle, with a deliberate intimacy.
Lin Qing stopped in front of the two of them, and his eyes turned to Gu Miaomiao with an undisguised scrutiny and a hint of pride.
"Why is the young lady here?"
She covered her lips in surprise.
"Aren't you still sick?"
That familiar concern made it seem as if she was the one who was supposed to be by Jiang Yanbai's side.
Gu Miaomiao watched her clumsy performance coldly.
I just feel it's ridiculous.
