"No, she hasn’t been here, and I haven’t said anything to her. It’s just my own feeling. Don’t you think this is inappropriate?" She shook her head and said softly, but didn’t dare to look into his eyes.

Her voice held a trace of melancholy and a slight sadness. What was happening to her?

"Didn’t I tell you not to interfere with my business? Whatever I want to do is none of your concern." Beitang Yao really wanted to step forward and choke this woman. He wanted to ask her what she was actually doing, constantly saying things that angered him!

"Young Master, other than the matters in bed, I’m willing to use everything to repay what I owe you." She wasn’t trying to defy his wishes. He helped her, merely attracted by her body. When he wanted it, she absolutely could not refuse. However, she didn’t want to have a relationship with him at this moment; this sin was not something she could afford.

Hearing those words, Beitang Yao’s blood ran in the reverse direction. He suppressed his anger, stepped forward, and grabbed her chin, shouting with reddened eyes, "Xia Qingqian, you must use your body to repay everything you owe me!"

Her chin was lifted by him, and strands of hair that clung to her cheeks slowly slipped to the back of her head, revealing one swollen side.

She wanted to escape, wanted to turn her face away so he wouldn’t see her swollen side, but it was already too late. With a slight movement of Beitang Yao’s hand, her fiery and swollen face turned towards him, and his voice became even angrier, "What is this? When did this happen?"

"I accidentally bumped it in the bathroom." She recoiled backward, trying to avoid his hand, but he only gripped her tighter.

"Bumped it? Xia Qingqian, are you taking me for an idiot? That’s clearly a fingerprint!" Her delicate skin bore a fiery red handprint, which pierced his eyes painfully. "Speak up, how did this happen? Did Gu Ziqian hit you?"

When was it anyone else’s turn to discipline his woman?

"No, it has nothing to do with Miss Gu." She hurriedly explained, "I really accidentally fell."

"Oh, Xia Qingqian, telling lies without even thinking!" He gritted his rear teeth and his gaze turned sharp, "Was it a bump or a fall?"

Xia Qingqian suddenly fell speechless, unable to utter another word. In his furious eyes, she saw two ferocious flames, feeling completely engulfed by them, burned all over.

"You must have said something to Ziqian!" Beitang Yao looked at her coldly, "If you dare to tell her about our relationship, I will definitely punish you harshly!"

The loans of the Beitang Group were still sourced from the Asia-Pacific Loan Bank Group. Even though his enterprises span globally, he still couldn’t avoid cooperating with the Asia-Pacific Loan Bank Group. If his private life were known by Gu Ziqian and spread to his grandfather, he would certainly be forced into marriage.

Listen to his tone; he and Gu Ziqian are indeed a match made in heaven.

She suddenly pulled a desolate smile, pushed him away with her hand, and took a step back, "Young Master, if you don’t want Miss Gu to suspect anything, then please, can you let me go in the future? You can instruct me to do anything, but those things, forgive me, I cannot."

"Xia Qingqian, what tone is this you’re using with me? I am your master, and you dare to say no? Just try it!" Looking at her calm and indifferent smile, he began to feel panic.
