1 The Appetizing Beauty

City Jing. The International Mall.

A swift shadow weaved through the pedestrians to hide from the figures chasing it from behind.

"There!"

"Gu Qiangwei! Stop right there!"

The woman's sharp voice rang, her furious eyes wishing for nothing more but to rip Gu Qiangwei apart.

Upon seeing that the people behind her were about to catch up, in the midst of her desperation, Gu Qiangwei quickly thought of something and entered a men's luxury brand store.

Looking outside the glass doors, she saw that there were still people pacing outside the store. Scared that they would discover her, she turned around and ran into a stall of the men's changing room.

Phew… How close!

Gu Qiangwei let out a sigh of relief. However, when she turned her head around, the scene in front of her eyes stunned her immediately.

There is… a man here?!

When the door was suddenly pushed open, Qin Sijue, who was in the midst of changing, frowned slightly. He was about to lift his head when Gu Qiangwei, acting instinctively, covered his mouth immediately.

The man froze for a moment. However, immediately after, a hostile, terrorizing aura emanated from his entire body, making it seem as if he was the King of Darkness. It was impossible to ignore it!

The people chasing after her were still outside. If this man made any noise and caused her to be discovered, wouldn't she be dead?

In this urgent situation, she could only cover his mouth with her hand!

It was the first time he was so close to a member of the 'female species'. She had even used her hand to cover his mouth, which had not been touched for over twenty years of his life. At that moment, icy light shone from the man's cold eyes, as his dangerous aura approached the little woman right in front of him!

However, Gu Qiangwei did not seem to notice the danger that was so close to her; instead, she stared at this beautiful creation in front of her with a dazed face. She was so stunned by his appearance that she took a deep breath!

This man… is extremely handsome.

She had already used her hand to cover half of his face. However, it could not conceal his intricately carved and alluring features—especially those deep, dark eyes. Although they were icy-cold, they were… breathtaking!

The beauty in front of her eyes was so appetizing that Gu Qiangwei subconsciously swallowed her saliva.

It looked as if she was staring at 'food', and this filled Qin Sijue's chest with fury.

He was about to speak up, but Gu Qiangwei seized the first word. "Shh… Don't speak!"

She pressed her index finger against her lips and made a shushing gesture to the man. She was afraid that once he opened his mouth, she would be discovered by the people outside!

Qin Sijue was speechless. "…"

Knock, knock, knock!

At that moment, there was a series of knocking sounds.

Immediately afterward, a clear male voice sounded from outside the door. "Mr. Qin, your pants are here."

Without his permission, the person outside the door did not dare to open the door casually.

Pants?

Upon hearing that, Gu Qiangwei lowered her head instinctively. As she looked, her eyes froze.

This man… is only wearing a pair of underwear!

"Are you done looking?"

While she was distracted, the man took down her small hand that was covering his mouth. His eyes were icy-cold.

Gu Qiangwei lifted her head and met his frosty eyes. She could not help but swallow dryly as an uncontrollable fear rose in her heart.

This man seemed to have been born with a noble aura. People would admire him from afar, but would not dare to provoke him easily.

However, Gu Qiangwei nodded as if she was seeking death. "Yes!"

Yes? She even said 'Yes'?!

Qin Sijue frowned. An icy ray of light shone from his dark-as-night eyes.

This woman had successfully aroused his anger!

"Who sent you here?" His voice was as cold as frost.

Gu Qiangwei was stunned.

Sent me? What is this man talking about?

"Speak. Who are you working for?" The man's dangerous face was extremely close, making it seem as if he could swallow Gu Qiangwei into darkness within a moment.
