Chapter 84 The one who should wake up is you
"Then go wash up quickly."
"I'm ready for bed, too."
Her movements and tone were full of natural familiarity.
Jiang Yanbai paused and looked at her suspiciously.
"You seem a little bit strange today."
Gu Miaomiao's heart skipped a beat.
She pretended to be confused, stretched out her fingers and gently touched her cheek.
"Yeah?"
"Something's wrong, why didn't I feel it?"
Jiang Yanbai just glanced at her coldly.
After a few seconds, he looked away, turned around and walked into the bathroom without saying a word.
"Bang!"
The bathroom door was slammed shut.
Gu Miaomiao leaned against the wall and breathed a long sigh of relief.
Soon, the sound of running water could be heard in the bathroom.
The vigilance has not been lowered.
Gu Miaomiao put her ear to the cold door and listened carefully for a moment.
After confirming that everything was correct, she turned around and walked quickly towards the dressing table.
She opened the deepest compartment in the drawer and took out a small white medicine box.
During this period, Jiang Yanbai's mood has indeed stabilized a lot.
No longer like a dynamite that could explode at any time, moody and unpredictable.
But that's not enough.
Her plans were closely linked and could not tolerate any mistakes, and his emotional stability was the cornerstone of all her plans.
She poured out a small white pill from the medicine box, twisted it with her fingertips, and was about to point it at the milk glass.
"And you said you didn't tamper with the milk."
A cold voice exploded from behind her.
"What's this?"
Gu Miaomiao's whole body froze, and her heart almost jumped out of her throat.
How could he?!
With a tremor of his fingertips, the white pill fell straight down.
"thump."
There was a slight sound, and a small ripple appeared in the milk, which quickly disappeared.
She turned around abruptly, subconsciously hiding the medicine box behind her, and forced a stiff smile on her face.
"Nothing, did you see it wrong?"
Jiang Yanbai was not wearing a shirt, his muscular upper body was exposed, and the ends of his black hair were still dripping with water.
He approached step by step, his eyes so sinister that water could drip out.
"You think I'm blind?"
Gu Miaomiao subconsciously stepped back, her back against the cold dressing table.
She looked through the mirror on the dressing table and clearly saw his expression at the moment.
Her heart trembled and her voice weakened.
“It’s just Vitamin C.”
Jiang Yanbai sneered and didn't believe her nonsense at all.
He grabbed her hand hidden behind her back and easily snatched the small white medicine box away.
He lowered his eyes and his gaze fell on the instructions on the medicine box.
"Mental health medicine?"
"Gu Miaomiao, do you think I'm sick?"
The air pressure around him was getting lower and lower, and it was about to explode at any time.
Gu Miaomiao, on the other hand, calmed down.
She met his angry gaze.
"I told you before."
"If you can't sleep, it's because you have emotional problems, you have mental problems."
"You need medication to get better."
"Shut up!"
Jiang Yanbai roared angrily, raised his hand and smashed the medicine box to the ground!
"Whether I'm sick or not is not your turn to decide!"
His chest heaved violently.
Gu Miaomiao just looked at him quietly, seeing the pain welling up in his eyes.
She turned around, straightened her back, and looked at him calmly.
"But I can't possibly hurt you."
"Jiang Yanbai, you really misunderstood me."
Misunderstand?
The corners of Jiang Yanbai's lips curled up into an icy arc.
"Gu Miaomiao, I gave you a chance."
“But you don’t cherish it.”
"You even drugged me right in front of me."
A chill instantly spread from the soles of Jiang Yanbai's feet to every part of his body.
I see.
No wonder he slept so soundly during this period.
No wonder only with her could his tense nerves find a moment's respite.
It's not some bullshit sense of familiarity, nor is it some lingering warmth.
It was all because of her, tampering with his diet like a pet.
Looking at the coldness surging in his eyes, Gu Miaomiao's heart sank little by little.
Her tone softened a little, with a pleading tone that she herself was not aware of.
"That's really not what I meant."
"This is not poison. If you don't believe me, I..."
She paused.
"I'll eat a piece and show you."
Before she finished speaking, she was about to bend down to pick up the scattered white pills on the ground.
Just as he stretched out his hand halfway, it was grabbed by a big hand like an iron clamp.
A huge force came, and she was pulled up and slammed into a hot and hard chest.
Jiang Yanbai held her tightly.
"Okay."
His low voice was filled with sarcasm.
"Stop pretending."
Gu Miaomiao struggled in his arms, the fresh scent of his shower gel lingering in her nose, but she felt suffocated.
"I'm not pretending!"
"I'm really just doing this for your own good!"
Her voice was tinged with tears.
"I just want you to return to your old self, to be quieter, instead of being like this now, like a powder keg that can explode at any time and gets angry at the slightest provocation!"
Hot breath sprayed on her ear.
"Don't use these excuses as a pretext."
"I said, how could you be kind?"
"Gu Miaomiao, you still have a purpose."
He pinched her chin, forcing her head up to meet his crimson eyes.
"Do you hate me?"
"Hate me for taking away everything from you, for stepping on you, for driving your father abroad?"
Gu Miaomiao wanted to refute and tell him that it was not the case.
But the madness in his eyes made all her words get stuck in her throat.
Jiang Yanbai didn't even give her a chance to speak.
"I tell you, it's no use for you to hate."
"Your only trick has now been exposed by me."
He loosened his grip and pushed her back hard.
Gu Miaomiao staggered a few steps and hit the corner of the dressing table with her lower back, causing her to gasp in pain.
Jiang Yanbai stood in front of her, looking down at her.
"From now on, your secretary status will be revoked."
"You stay in this room."
His voice was cold and every word was as sharp as a knife.
"You're not allowed to go anywhere!"
Bang!
A loud and crisp sound.
Gu Miaomiao used all her strength and slapped Jiang Yanbai in the face.
Her palms burned with pain.
"Jiang Yanbai, wake up!"
The man's handsome face was knocked to one side, and five clear finger marks quickly appeared on his fair skin.
He slowly turned his head.
In the dark pupils, there is a bottomless vortex.
A large hand gripped the back of her slender neck.
"you……"
The air was sucked out in an instant, and Gu Miaomiao's face turned red.
Jiang Yanbai's big hand grasped the back of her neck, his knuckles tightening.
"Gu Miaomiao."
He spoke each word with a low voice.
"You are the one who should wake up."
His thumb rubbed the artery on the side of her neck.
"It's you who's always dreaming of living the life of the eldest daughter of the Gu family."
"It's you, still thinking about standing outside, being admired by thousands of people, shining brightly."
"It's you who is unwilling to be imprisoned in this small world."
