Hidden Marriage, Overbearing Love: Mr! Please Let Me Go Chapter 1101 - 1105: Did I Hit the Mark?

"Miss Gu, I have never fought you for anything, nor will I steal your man. I am merely a servant by the Young Master's side." She turned her face, stepping back. "You can be at ease. A woman like me will never gain anyone's trust. I truly cannot compete with you, as there is no need to." She simply lacked the will for it.

"Sister Xia, you certainly are articulate. Don't you wish to know what Brother Yao and I were discussing just now?" Gu Ziqian advanced. If possible, she longed to reach out and snap Xia Qingqian's neck!

Gu Ziqian was far from calm internally. She harbored a persistent feeling that Xia Qingqian was a hidden danger. The longer she remained near Beitang Yao, the greater the peril! She sensed that Brother Yao treated Xia Qingqian with exceptional consideration. Though he might claim Xia Qingqian was merely a servant attending him, a suspicion lingered within her, an intuition that something was amiss.

"I am not qualified to know, nor do I wish to. Miss Gu, if the Young Master belongs to you, he is yours—no one can take him away, regardless of their efforts." Xia Qingqian offered a strained smile, observing Gu Ziqian's contorted expression. Her heart constricted, and she instinctively continued to withdraw.

"Heh, Sister Xia, you consistently assert your lack of involvement with my Brother Yao. You are but a servant, are you not? Is your intention to serve him straight into his bed? Have you any concept of shame?" A sinister smirk played on Gu Ziqian's lips, and her usually clear eyes darkened with an ominous gloom!

"..." Xia Qingqian was rendered speechless, unable to formulate any retort.

"Did I strike a nerve? Sister Xia, I merely wish to convey that a man like Brother Yao keeps you by his side solely as a vessel for his physical desires, nothing more. Keep this in mind, and dare not harbor any designs on my Brother Yao!" Gu Ziqian seized her hair with force, giving it a harsh tug. "With that beguiling countenance of yours, you will never achieve true respectability. Your sole purpose is to be used by men; love will forever elude you!"

Xia Qingqian gazed at Gu Ziqian, a flicker of panic in her eyes. She perceived a glint of malicious resentment, and a sudden realization dawned: Gu Ziqian was no simple adversary! Indeed, Gu Ziqian feared her intentions concerning Beitang Yao and desired her complete erasure.

She found it almost inconceivable that such venomous words could emerge from Gu Ziqian, words that utterly betrayed her supposed noble bearing.

"Miss Gu, I have never claimed to be a temptress, nor have I ever harbored thoughts of winning Beitang Yao's affection. In your estimation, I have always been a person of low standing and negligible worth." Xia Qingqian averted her face, evading Gu Ziqian's grasp. Her jaw ached from the harsh pinch. "Miss Gu, do you fear I will usurp all that belongs to you? As I've stated, I seek nothing from you, not even the Young Master."

"Your pronouncements do not dictate reality." Gu Ziqian watched Xia Qingqian writhe from her grip, a surge of fury rising within her. "You must vanish from Brother Yao's sight. If you truly provoke me, I cannot predict my actions. Sister Xia, you comprehend my meaning, do you not?"

Xia Qingqian retreated, pace by measured pace, while Gu Ziqian advanced relentlessly!

Xia Qingqian's expression grew somber. She lowered her gaze and stated softly, "Miss Gu, the power to resolve this rests not with me, and... I cannot depart from the Young Master at present. I cannot fully explain the circumstances to you now, but once this is concluded, I shall vanish from the Young Master's life and will certainly not obstruct your path. As you yourself said, I am merely a tool for the Young Master's physical release. Our connection is purely carnal, devoid of affection. What is it that causes you such concern? Furthermore, as the Young Master's betrothed, should your position not be even more secure?"
