Literal Icerberg

"Can you at least untie me?" Shen Yue asked helplessly.

Raising her head, she looked up at the man who sat cross-legged over the luxurious sofa. Coldness was everything that appeared on his handsome face while his hand rested over the fur of a fierce Snow Leopard.

Sitting nonchalantly over there, his temperament looked quite noble.

Like he was a monarch, a prince from an ancient era.

His aura and looks accentuated his custom made business suit giving a tempting allure to him.

"Mr. Gu isn't your brother known for his magnanimous and philanthropic behavior... Is it how you should treat your benefactor?" Shen Yue tried all sorts of reasons that came to her mind to convince him.

However, her words were ineffective on the man before her.

Not a ripple of emotion appeared on his face.

Shen Yue stared with blank eyes.

For a moment she even started wondering if the person sitting over that sofa was instead a human statue.

His skin was so fair, glistening without any pores. It was just inconceivable...

How can someone be so handsome?

Wasn't First Master Gu rumored to have a very ugly appearance and that was the reason proposed for his lack of public appearances?

But those were, after all, baseless rumors.

Look at his young brother, Second Master Gu! He had such handsome features.

Why else would Second Master Gu be a top actor at such a young age?

Since both of them shares genes, how could First Master Gu be ugly?

How insane of her to believe in those rumors!

Even after her rebirth, she would make such a mistake!

Damn it, Shen Yue! You are in a life-threatening situation! That's not a time to indulge in a hunk's handsome looks!

She mentally slapped herself to snap her out of the useless train of thoughts and think about a solution to her current predicament.

"First Master Gu, how about this⁠—" She started another futile attempt to convince him but was cut mid-sentence.

"How did you know that the explosion would occur at that specific time?" His cool and serene voice rang out as he repeated the same question once again.

Shen Yue paused, surprised at how indifferent yet how terrifying it sounded.

She had the answer to his question.

But how was she supposed to explain?

'If I tell you that I have been reborn six years back and looking for opportunities to hug a thick thigh knowing the future of the powerful people, will you believe me?' Shen Yue glanced up.

Looking at the serious man before her who would never eat nonsense, she thought. 'Eh... He would most likely... kill me right now.'

'F**k! Why did I have to get into a situation like this?'

'Why did I have to be confronted by this devil?'

'Can't he let me off on account that I saved his brother's life?'

What could Shen Yue do other than explain?

"First Master Gu, I know itis hard to believe. But... Ever since I was young I have a very strong intuition. At that time in the plaza, I had felt something bad would happen to Second Master Gu. You know how talented his Second Master Gu is? As a young artist, I would naturally look up to him for inspiration! He is my idol! How could I stand by and do nothing if I felt something bad was about to happen to my idol? That was the reason I helped him..."

At that moment, the man standing by Gu Yuefang's side, Li Wei, had black lines over his face.

'Ms. Shen, if you intend to lie, at least lie properly. Who in the whole world doesn't know that Second Master Gu, Gu Bingwen acting is terrible! What talent are you talking about?!'

Gu Yuefang didn't have any change of expressions at first.

However, after listening to her deliberate flattering, his lips curled up slightly.

His eyes glinted with amusement.

"That did not answer my question." His voice was clear like translucent water as he caressed the fur of the snow leopard.

The snow Leopard lifted its head, its light blue eyes opened lazily.It roared and stared at Shen Yue. The moment, the leopard eyes focused, there was a strange flash across them... It was as if... like she was some delicacy.

Shen Yue gulped.

Who the heck keeps such a scary pet!

First Master Gu, are you right in the head?

A ferocious animal is after all a ferocious animal! What if it turns back and bites you?!

This is bullying!

Shen Yue wanted to cry but had no tears!

At that point, Li Wei broke into the conversation. "Miss, all of this can be avoided if you tell us truthfully how you knew about the explosion beforehand. Since you have saved second Master Gu life, not only would you be spared, First Master Gu would also reward you!"

I have been reborn F**kster! That's why I knew it!

What do you think? I collaborated with your enemies and deliberately saved Gu Bingwen to get on your good sides!

I admit I am a little shameless, but I am not that shameless!

"I told you it was my intuition..." Shen Yue's eyes glistened.

If she knew things would come to this, she would never have saved that scandalous Gu Bingwen!

"Are you certain, it was your intuition?" Gu Yuefang suddenly asked.

Shen Yue glanced in his direction trying to look past his eyes. However, it was impossible to do so.

This man was a literal iceberg!

Shen Yue gnashed her teeth. "Yes!" There was no other answer to the question she could give.

Suddenly, Gu Yuefang rose from his place.

Shen Yue's heart skipped a beat.
