Gu Ziqian leaves Beitang Yao’s study, asking him to join her later. Beitang Yao dismisses her words, focusing on business. He receives a call about a new project, HDC520, which he plans to finalize. He is frustrated by the difficulty in finding a suitable collaborator and warns against foul play. Meanwhile, Xia Qingqian hangs up a call upon Beitang Yao's entry; he confronts her, suspecting she was talking to Gu Ziqian and questioning her trustworthiness.

Upon witnessing her silence, his gaze, colder than ice formed over millennia, radiated an profound chillting more terrifying than ever before. It was as if anyone who dared to meet his eyes would be instantly shattered into countless pieces!

"So, it's true then? Xia Qingqian, do you truly believe that your actions have no consequence? Do you genuinely think I cannot possibly survive without you? You've truly become far too accustomed to my affections!" He bellowed in fury, utterly astonished by her audacious presumption! Without a firm hand to guide her, she was proving to be completely uncontrollable!

"Young Master..." Tears welled in her eyes, shimmering like dew as she murmured, her gaze fixed on the ground. "If, in your estimation, that is the kind of person I am, then so be it. Please do not forget that my initial approach to you was indeed for your wealth, a desperate bid to escape my own wretched circumstances. Yes, I am precisely that sort of individual, exceptionally adept at basking in undeserved favor."

If this was how he perceived her in his heart, then what purpose would further explanation serve?

"Why did you quarrel with Ziqian?" His heart felt as though it would rupture with rage, all thanks to this woman! Any report of someone mistreating Gu Ziqian was bound to reach his grandfather's ears, inevitably leading to yet another tiresome lecture.

"Young Master, please set your mind at ease. I have done nothing to your little fiancée." Her nose stung as she fought to suppress the tears threatening to spill. "I shall go and offer my apologies to her immediately. Would that be acceptable?"

With considerable force, she wrenched herself free from Beitang Yao's grasp, reclaimed her phone from his hand, and swiftly exited. Abruptly halting as if a thought had just struck her, she pleaded in a low voice, "Young Master, in the days ahead, I implore you, do not show me any further tenderness. Since I am indeed the woman you believe me to be, even the slightest hint of gentleness from you is hardly warranted, wouldn't you agree?" She genuinely feared her heart could no longer endure it; it truly couldn't!

She understood this all too well; whenever he displayed a flicker of tenderness, she knew it was invariably transient, a precursor to a heavy price that would inevitably follow.

Xia Qingqian, oh Xia Qingqian, why must you always be so fragile? Why do you persist in believing these fleeting moments are his genuine affection? You are merely a plaything to him. Is it truly worth it to interpret his occasional kindness as love? Is it really worth it?

Although he has not yet taken a wife, he already possesses a fiancée. How can you possibly engage in affectionate exchanges with him directly in front of his intended? What kind of reprehensible situation does that create?

Having concluded her thoughts, Xia Qingqian turned and hurried away. She dashed barefoot down the stairs, inquired with Ye Feng about Gu Ziqian's whereabouts, and then proceeded with her head bowed towards the study.

Pushing the door open, she quickly spotted Gu Ziqian standing near a bookshelf. She approached her and softly said, "Miss Gu, I offer you my sincerest apologies. Is this resolution sufficient?"

Gu Ziqian understood that men were not to be trifled with; one misstep, and they would become agitated. Behold, the strategy had proven remarkably effective! She had merely shed a few tears and voiced a handful of complaints, and Brother Yao had readily believed her and championed her cause.

Observing Xia Qingqian's submissive apology, her head bowed low, Gu Ziqian felt an immense surge of elation! Nothing in the world could bring her greater joy than this!

"Sister Xia, what troubles you? Why are you offering me an apology? Have you truly conceded that you are nothing more than a seductress?" Gu Ziqian replaced the book in her hand, approached Xia, cupped her jaw, and inquired with icy disdain, "Sister Xia, I've already told you, attempting to contend with me, to snatch a man away from me, is an impossibility."

Xia Qingqian felt a sharp pain on her cheek as Gu Ziqian's fingers pressed down on her already swollen area, causing her to wince and let out a soft moan of discomfort.
