Chapter 20 (2/2)

“What about you?”

“… Qin Muchen, do you also want my life?”

After he was sick of toying with her…

Would he also end her life personally?

“I don’t want your life.” What he wanted was her heart.

Gu Shinian seemingly understood and added with a blank expression, “Right, you want me to lead a life that is better off dead.”

Qin Muchen gave her a firm stare. A hidden trace of complicated feelings was surging in his eyes.

After he released her, he lifted the wine glass and took a sip of wine. He then said, “So, you don’t need to worry about death. At the very least, if I don’t agree to it, no one will dare to take your life.”

Were these considered words of consolation?

Although it sounded a little cruel…

Speechless, Gu Shinian tugged her lower lips, took away his wine glass and sat down again. “I know that you will definitely deal with people who offended you personally.”

She was no exception too.

Her expression eased and she looked indifferent. “I need to stitch up the wound. It will hurt a little. Don’t move unnecessarily.”

“If you really can’t endure it, just find something to bite.”

This little pain was not a big deal.

Qin Muchen did not take it to heart at all.

He would not easily blink an eye even if he was hit by a bullet.

However, the woman was docilely lowering her eyelashes. Her side profile looked intent and gentle. Her tresses were hanging down and rubbing against the back of his hand.

His hands felt a little itchy and there was a tingling sensation.

Suddenly, his heart was in chaos.

Qin Muchen could not help but lean nearer to her. His warm breath was landing on her slender and fair neck. He then planted a kiss on her neck.

Gu Shinian trembled all over. It was as if an electric current was flowing through her body.

“Qin… Qin Muchen… ”

The needle in her hands almost dropped.
