Chapter 710: Chapter 710: Can’t you breathe if I hug you?
As their fingers touched, to her surprise, Gu Jing’s hand was ice cold. It was as if he had encountered a great shock and his blood was not flowing smoothly.
Once again, Gu Jing quickly shook off her hand. A hint of panic flashed across his handsome face, “I warn you, don’t touch me casually! And don’t you dare like me! I… I don’t like you like this!”
Qiao Yin looked up at him, her gaze burning, “Why do you suddenly dislike me?”
Gu Jing could not stand her gaze. If this had been any day before today, if she had dared to look at him like this, he would not have held back from kissing her! To make her understand that girls should not use such seductive eyes to look at men!
But now, he couldn’t.
No one knew how much he was suffering, how unwilling he was.
He was cursing like a lunatic in his heart, but all he could do was grit his teeth and utter a few words, “No reason! If I don’t like, then I just don’t!”
Damn it, why did he feel like he was sounding just like that jerk Gu Chengqiao!
Seeing his state, Qiao Yin knew that he was on the brink of collapse. If she pushed a little more, she should be able to provoke him into telling the truth.
She thought for a moment and directly hugged Gu Jing.
Just as she hugged him, she looked over his shoulder and saw Lu Lingche standing not far away, watching them.
His gaze was dark, his face cold as if he wanted to stab someone. She had no idea how long he had been there.
However, Qiao Yin didn’t have time to care about him right now. She felt Gu Jing’s body stiffen in her embrace, almost as if his breathing had stopped.
She continued to provoke Gu Jing, “Young Master Gu, can’t you breathe just because I hugged you? What really happened to you? Can you tell me?”
Hearing her voice, Gu Jing finally snapped out of his dazed state.
His handsome face turned bright red. He was furious. He briskly pushed Qiao Yin away, didn’t even glance at her, and escaped into the restroom like he was running for his life.
Watching his retreating figure, Qiao Yin fell into deep thought.
Gu Jing suddenly didn’t want to have any contact with her. Could it be because he found out that her mother was killed by his father? And he felt sorry for her?
But it didn’t seem to be the case! His expression didn’t look guilty at all, more like… gnashing his teeth in resentment?
What the hell is he resentful about? It was his dad who killed her mom, not the other way around. His parents are still alive and well!
Gu Jing entered the restroom and stared at the long hair he had pulled from Qiao Yin’s head. He was having trouble breathing.
He never believed in God, but today was the first time he wanted to beg to God. He pleaded that he and Qiao Yin were not siblings, that there was no blood relationship between them.
He carefully wrapped the hair in a tissue and put it in his pocket.
Then, he washed his face with cold water, only then did the heat on his face recede.
He looked at himself in the mirror. His teeth were almost ground to dust. For the first time ever, he resented his father’s wild promiscuity. It was all because of his dad that he had to run away from a simple embrace from Qiao Yin.
After a long while, not until his friend called asking where he was, did he finally leave the restroom.
Just as he stepped out of the restroom, Qiao Yin’s pleasant voice called out again, “Gu Jing, so you’re finally out. If you didn’t come out soon, I was going to go in and find you.”
Gu Jing never expected her to be waiting for him outside the restroom. He wanted to pretend he didn’t hear and walk away, but Qiao Yin stopped him.
She stood in front of him with a beautiful smile on her face, “Why run? Let’s have a drink together!”
Gu Jing was somewhat transfixed by her smile.
Under the dazzling lights of the bar, she looked as gorgeous as a lotus emerging from the water, causing someone’s heartbeat to race uncontrollably.
Her face was free of makeup, and her clothes were ordinary, which made her look distinct from the other sexy and coquettish girls in the bar.
His heartbeat was wildly erratic, but the more intense it was, the more he had to restrain himself. The more he restrained himself, the more his heart ached.
His eyes reddened in agony, “Before the results come out, you best stay away from me! You’re so annoying!”
