Chapter 9: Cutness is Nothing Compared to Sexiness

He released his hand, and Su Ye straightened her skirt, her expression indifferent as she said, "Don't you just love it when I'm this wild in bed?"

"What, have your tastes changed now? You prefer Su Wanqing's type, the demure little white flower playing hard to get?"

She knew Gu Yan wouldn't do anything to her at this kind of event, although there were no absolute guarantees. If she truly provoked him, the madman might indeed do something outrageous.

But at least, he couldn't now.

Gu Yan gave her a sideways glance, scanning her from head to toe. In bed, he certainly didn't like Su Wanqing's type.

He liked Su Ye's style, spicy enough for his taste.

"Shen Qifeng doesn't like you this slutty, especially when you're dressed like you are. You might as well strip naked and try it; maybe he'll take a liking to you," Gu Yan said with a venomous tongue, unmercifully mocking her.

Su Ye looked down at herself; she was dressed even more conservatively than Su Wanqing today, just a long dress, revealing barely a shoulder at most.

Oh, the dress had a slit; it showed some leg.

Su Ye shot him a glance, too lazy to entertain his madness, "What do you want anyway? You're not here just to remind me what Shen Qifeng likes, are you?"

Gu Yan looked at her listlessly, growing increasingly irritable on the inside.

He actually had no business there; he just purely disliked Su Ye flaunting herself outside, especially in front of Qin Xiaohua.

She clearly knew she was to be "offered" to Qin Xiaohua, yet she still flirted so blatantly.

"Nothing, I just wanted to see if you would still be seductive towards me when your fiancé is outside."

Su Ye snorted with laughter, glanced at him, and turned to leave.

Gu Yan grabbed her abruptly, his eyes full of gloom, "I'll go out first."

Su Ye didn't refuse, took a step back, and suddenly asked him something that seemed to come to mind, "Gu Yan, which do you prefer, sexy or cute?"

Gu Yan blurted out, "Cute is worthless in front of sexy."

After saying it, he suddenly realized that he had just told her Shen Qifeng didn't like her style, and then she asked him about style preferences – was this a clear sign she was planning to change tactics to entice Shen Qifeng?!

A dark glint passed through Gu Yan's eyes, and he gritted his teeth, "Shen Qifeng likes cute!"

Su Ye's eyes flickered, "Got it."

Gu Yan gave her a fierce glare and stormed out the door.

Su Ye curved her eyes, but you like the sexy ones.

Su Ye waited a few minutes before leaving. As she opened the door, she happened to bump into Su Wanqing.

Seeing Su Ye come out of the service passage, Su Wanqing instinctively peeked inside. Su Ye opened the door generously, "Stop looking. I was just having a cigarette. What year is it to still be into secret rendezvous?"

"I'm just worried you might do something indecent. After all, the ball is about to start, and if you get caught with something compromising, you might ruin father's plan. Be careful, or you'll have to answer for it when you get back."

Su Ye tugged at the corner of her mouth, thinking of Gu Yan's expression just now, and told her, "You better worry about yourself."

"Su Ye, the ball is about to start. If you can't win over Mr. Qin today, be careful father will come looking for trouble with you. I advise you to use all your charms, otherwise you might find Mr. Qin uninterested."

Her mocking tone didn't disturb Su Ye in the slightest; she just gave her an indifferent glance and strode away.

After walking a few steps, Su Ye suddenly stopped, turned back with a smile, and said, "Su Wanqing, today, you look very cute."

Cute?

Su Wanqing was taken aback, frozen on the spot. Was she complimenting her?

Had she taken the wrong medicine? Or had Su Ye gone mad?

Su Wanqing was left feeling goosebumps all over, uncomfortable all around from her comment.
