Hidden Marriage, Overbearing Love: Mr! Please Let Me Go Chapter 1104 - 1108: Acting

A shiver ran down Xia Qingqian's spine for no apparent reason as she thought of this. Gu Ziqian, that young girl, was indeed beautiful, her smile incredibly sweet. However, after witnessing the true, dark nature concealed beneath that faint, gentle exterior, Xia Qingqian's perception changed entirely. The ability to so skillfully mask such a fearful, dark side was, frankly, astonishing.

She averted her gaze, unwilling to acknowledge the deepening gloom on Beitang Yao’s countenance. Explanations were something she dared not offer and certainly didn't wish to provide. Any attempt to justify herself would inevitably prove futile. "However you perceived it, that is how it is," she stated plainly.

This woman actually refused to explain herself? The moment he arrived at the doorway, he had clearly observed a fleeting, peculiar glint in Gu Ziqian's eyes. In the very next second, she was on her knees before Xia Qingqian, desperately pleading for mercy. What precisely had transpired? All he had heard was Gu Ziqian's voice; Xia Qingqian remained silent. Then, he witnessed Xia Qingqian raise her hand and deliver a resounding slap to Gu Ziqian!

What secrets was this woman concealing from him?

"Xia Qingqian, is everything Ziqian said the truth? Do you genuinely believe I am merely an object, something you can selfishly contend for with other women? Xia Qingqian, do not delude yourself into thinking you hold a special place simply because I keep you by my side!" He gripped her face, forcing her to meet his gaze directly.

Under duress, Xia Qingqian met his intense stare. She had always perceived him as a dangerous entity, someone to be avoided at all costs—yet, she found herself ensnared, incapable of escape.

The pressure of his grip caused her to wince slightly in pain. She could even discern the terrifying, grating sound of her jawbone protesting beneath his large hand. Attempts to break free proved utterly useless, no matter how fiercely she struggled.

"Young Master, this is the nature of who I am. I am not someone deserving of trust or pity from anyone." She refrained from begging for release, recognizing the impossibility of repaying her debts within such a limited timeframe.

"Xia Qingqian, you would be wise not to cross my boundaries. Should you dare to cause further trouble, our contract will be terminated immediately!" This was his ultimate ultimatum. Never before had he resorted to threatening her with the contract's end, regardless of the circumstances.

How profoundly must this incident have impacted him to resort to such a threat now?

She gazed mutely at the man before her. An icy aura emanated from his entire being, compelling an involuntary shiver. His final declaration instilled an even deeper sense of dread within her.

His threat to terminate their contract sent tremors through her. Reaching out, she grasped Beitang Yao's arm, pleading, "Young Master, I implore you, please do not end our contract, alright? I promise I will never act this way again. I will be exceptionally well-behaved!" The thought of the contract's conclusion was simply unbearable; how would she possibly settle her obligations then?

"You are only now grasping the severity of this situation—is it not somewhat late to realize this? Xia Qingqian, did you truly believe it was as you imagined? From the moment I acquired you at that nightclub, my sole intention was to utterly humiliate you. A woman like you, all pretense on the outside and something else entirely within, who ultimately auctions off her own virtue—deep down, you are nothing more than a desperate hussy!" Witnessing the desperation in her eyes, his brow furrowed, his face tightened, and he fixed her with an icy glare.

His inner turmoil raged, wishing nothing more than to obliterate this accursed woman, to ensure she could never again sway his emotions!

"Young Master, you may enact whatever punishment you deem fit, but I beg you, before the contract expires, please retract those words, won't you?" She rose and knelt by his trousers, her voice filled with pitiful supplication. Whatever the Young Master commanded, she would comply. Even if he demanded her life as recompense, she would offer it. However, if the Young Master severed their contract, all her current hardships would resurface.
