196 Love Trap 4 (1/2)
”What are you doing!”
Jin Qingyan pulled her forcefully towards the corridor and questioned her with a menacing glare, ”What were you and Gu Beicheng up to at this hour?”
”It's not that late yet. Besides, must I report whatever I did with him to you?”
”Of course, I'm your superior here! Your request to leave will not be valid if it's approved only by Chen Xu,” he snapped, glowering at her.
”What do you want now?”
”I'm asking you, what were you two up to?” he continued to ask.
”Why must I tell you?”
Jin Qingyan grabbed her wrist tightly and pulled her into his car.
An Xiaoning felt a sharp pain in her wrist as soon as he let go. He had grabbed her with so much force that her wrist felt like it was almost going to break.
”Jin Qingyan, you're being outrageous and unreasonable!”
”So what if I am? Did you forget my words? I said I was going to woo you all over again,” Jin Qingyan reiterated.
”I refuse to accept you. Did you forget what I said too? I said that I'll never step foot into your home ever again the moment I decided to leave.”
”An Xiaoning!” Jin Qingyan roared in an uncontrollable rage.
An Xiaoning shuddered in shock at his sudden outburst, for she had never seen him so exasperated before. ”I can hear you, you don't have to be so loud.”
”Have you fallen for Gu Beicheng?”
”If I said I have, will you stop pestering me from now on?” she asked, keeping her eyes fixed on him.
”No. I will kill him if you've fallen for him.”
”You're nuts.” An Xiaoning felt like she could no longer communicate with him; he was still being so unreasonable and overboard although they were already divorced.
An Xiaoning pushed the door open and tried to get out of the car, only to find that he had locked her in her seat.
”Are you in love with Gu Beicheng?” Jin Qingyan asked again, finally firing the burning question on his mind.
”I only see him as my elder brother…”
”I knew it,” said Jin Qingyan as he pulled her into his arms as soon as she finished speaking.
”Why do you have to ask again then?” An Xiaoning hissed as she struggled to break free from his embrace, but to no avail.
”I just wanted to be sure,” said Jin Qingyan as he proceeded to recline her seat all the way down, after which he took the chance to pin her beneath himself. All of a sudden, his initial fury turned into joy.
”Jin Qingyan, you better know your limits and not go overboard. Hurry and get off me before I lose my temper,” An Xiaoning warned.
”Go ahead then, I'm not getting off anyway.”
What a time to still be so brazen!
”Are you really that insistent on having nobody else but me? It's not like you can't live without me, is it?” said An Xiaoning, trying to spite him as she knew that he would definitely deny it, given how arrogant he was.
Contrary to her expectations, he said, ”Yes, I can't live without you, indeed.”
”Jin Qingyan… are you possessed by a spirit?”
Slightly startled, he continued to stare at her in the dim yellow light.
”Could it… really be that case?”
”You would've been able to tell right away if I was really possessed. Did you forget you were a psychic medium and fortune-teller?” he said softly.
”But you're different from others, I can't read your fortune. I might not be able to tell even if you were really possessed,” An Xiaoning retorted.
He lowered his head slowly to look down at her, leaving only inches between their faces.
”I'm not possessed. I'm Jin Qingyan. Xiaoning, come back to me, will you?”
”No.”
