Hidden Marriage, Overbearing Love: Mr! Please Let Me Go Chapter 1103 - 1107: I Owe You an Apology

Sobbing, Gu Ziqian choked out, "Sister Xia, as a latecomer who intruded into your world with Brother Yao, I apologize." Her voice was amplified, clearly intended for the figure observing from the doorway.

A smile touched Gu Ziqian's lips before she whispered something to Xia Qingqian. Enraged, Xia Qingqian raised her hand and struck Gu Ziqian forcefully!

Seeing her ploy succeed, Gu Ziqian feigned fear, rising to her feet. She clutched her cheek, tears cascading down her face. Shivering, Gu Ziqian pointed a trembling finger at Xia Qingqian, exclaiming, "Sister Xia! You've gone too far!"

With that, she covered her face and fled towards the door, only to collide with the figure standing there. She looked up abruptly, her eyes glistening with tears. Beitang Yao, positioned in the doorway, grasped Gu Ziqian's wrist and inquired in a low tone, "Ziqian, what is it?"

Gu Ziqian then collapsed into Beitang Yao's embrace. After a lengthy pause, she murmured, "Brother Yao, I'm sorry. I shouldn't have appeared before you. I shouldn't have competed with Sister Xia for you. I'm leaving now. I'll explain to my parents that I was the one who called off the engagement; they won't blame you."

After her confession, she cast a lingering glance at Beitang Yao before rushing upstairs.

Meanwhile, Xia Qingqian, seated on the sofa, had already risen upon hearing Beitang Yao's voice enter. Her face flushed and paled, and she stood at a distance, her body trembling slightly, her eyes gleaming with an unusual intensity as she anxiously observed the figure at the door.

Beitang Yao advanced towards her, his expression stern. He unceremoniously pushed her onto the sofa, exuding a chilling aura that induced involuntary tension. His gaze, cold and piercing, fixed on Xia Qingqian. He reached out, gripping her chin with considerable force. "Xia Qingqian, didn't I warn you against playing these petty games behind my back? How do you explain what just transpired? You claim you were apologizing to Ziqian, so why did you end up striking her?"

Moreover, Ziqian's words had felt like thorns piercing his heart. What did this woman take him for? He had truly underestimated her; her capacity for scheming ran deeper than he had imagined. He should have recognized her true nature from the outset. Was there any self-respecting girl who would frequent those disreputable establishments as a hostess? If she valued herself, she wouldn't have contemplated auctioning her first night for monetary gain!

The very first time they met, she had managed to spill wine all over his trousers. She was merely employing such feeble tricks to capture his attention.

Why had he acquired such a woman? Was it solely because her eyes bore a faint resemblance to Shen Youran? Shen Youran belonged to his past; even if she reappeared before him, he wouldn't grant her a second glance. Was his motive to exact revenge for the resentment festering within him?

"You have nothing more to say, do you?" Beitang Yao's frigid breath caressed her cheek.

Xia Qingqian truly had no further words. She had, in fact, struck Gu Ziqian. However, if one were aware of Gu Ziqian's whispered words, it would be challenging to suppress overwhelming rage. Her rationality had been completely obscured by the anger that surged to her head!

Gu Ziqian's venomous words continued to echo in her mind. Recalling Gu Ziqian's abrupt shift in demeanor, Xia Qingqian realized that Gu Ziqian had been performing for Beitang Yao's benefit. Sitting on the sofa, her back to the door, she remained oblivious to Beitang Yao's presence. In that moment, Gu Ziqian seized the perfect opportunity to orchestrate a scene, and Xia Qingqian had unwittingly played her part. Gu Ziqian had effectively eliminated her adversary unseen. How could she possibly contend with Gu Ziqian?
