The corner of her mouth hooked into a sneer. Just as she was about to speak, she bumped into the woman's unperturbed gaze, and then, her voice that sounded like she was about to take an oath, ”Gu Jinyuan, I'm not your goods right now. If you dare to do anything to me, I, Ye Wanqing, guarantee that you will definitely regret it!”

As his voice faded, the room fell into a deathly silence. Only the sound of each other's breathing and heartbeats became clearer and clearer.

Ye Wanqing's heart was beating very quickly, her hands were tied up, the man's hands were still pressed against her waist, the heat from his palms continuously transmitted, an overbearing and irresistible danger.

She knew that she was challenging his authority, but at the same time, she was also betting that the owner of the Li City, the head of the Gu family, would not force a woman.

After a long while, Gu Jinyuan finally retracted his hand, and felt a slight chill down his spine. Ye Wanqing secretly heaved a sigh of relief.

”Do you know the consequences of provoking me?”

Gu Jinyuan asked, there was no anger in his words, he was just warning without batting an eyelid, he got up gracefully and put on his jacket, slowly buttoning it.

Ye Wanqing reached out to pull the tie, freeing his hands and calmly stood up to go forward. Ye Wanqing tiptoed to help Gu Jinyuan tie his tie.

Her dark blue tie looked especially good under her white fingertips.

”Young Master Gu, I indeed have my own reasons for returning to the Li City, but please believe me, since I took the money five years ago, that transaction will have already ended. I won't overestimate my capabilities and think of any tricks I might use to obtain any benefits from you.”

Ye Wanqing's voice was very gentle and had a calming power. Surprisingly, it was also able to easily convince others.

After the tie was done, she smoothed the collar of her shirt, then took two steps back. She lowered her head and stood there obediently, looking absolutely gentle and harmless.

In front of him, she always lowered her head first.

Looking at her slender neck, Gu Jinyuan suddenly felt a bit of pity in the bottom of his heart that he himself had not even noticed.

There was no need for this woman to be so humble.

”You better remember what you said today, or you won't be able to bear the consequences.”

”Rest assured Young Master Gu, I will engrave every word that I have said in my heart.”
