His deep icy eyes were like millennia-old frozen ice, reflecting a cold, fierce light as he coldly stared at Xia Qingqian with eyes slightly narrowed!

"Young Master! At the company, no matter the workload, I can handle it. At home, I can take care of all the chores." As long as he doesn’t do that kind of thing to her again.

"So what you mean is, my employees and servants are no match for you?" He was truly infuriated by her to the point of exploding! Ziqian must have said something to her that made her act this way! But he didn’t want her to know that the person he cared about was actually her, fearing she’d be neglected.

"Young Master, I didn’t mean that..." He stepped forward, and she stepped back until he cornered her against the wall, leaving her nowhere to escape. Her back was pressed against the cold wall, and she looked at the approaching Beitang Yao with alarm, feeling extremely scared.

With Beitang Yao’s character, he certainly wouldn’t let her off easily.

"Then what do you mean?" He trapped her within his arms, the distance between them was so close, his forehead pressed against hers, eyes locking together.

"Young Master, Miss Gu..." Xia Qingqian’s body shivered, and she hadn’t finished speaking when her lips were firmly sealed by Beitang Yao’s. She placed her hands against his chest, trying with all her might to push him away, but the more she tried to push him, the tighter he held her.

Her back was against the wall, and in front of her was his oppressive presence, making it difficult for her to breathe. He moved away from her lips to her cheek, kissing her swollen spots, and she gratefully took the chance to breathe heavily, tears inadvertently slipping down. 𝐟𝚛𝕖𝚎𝕨𝗲𝐛𝚗𝐨𝐯𝐞𝕝.𝐜𝗼𝗺

"Don’t cry, does it still hurt here?" His kiss gently landed on her swollen area, softly kissing it like he was cherishing his own treasure. He didn’t know when he started to care for her. Seeing her tears, he asked himself a thousand times, what injustice had she suffered?

Xia Qingqian originally didn’t feel much, but his gentle voice kept ringing in her ears, as if plucking at the taut chord in her heart, subconsciously softening her body.

Not hearing the answer he wanted, Beitang Yao kissed her lips, kissed again, then picked her up and headed toward the big bed.

Her body rose into the air, and she instinctively wrapped her arms around his neck to keep herself from falling. But reason quickly hit her, and with misty eyes, she gazed at Beitang Yao and said, "Young Master, don’t be like this..."

Touching her tears, his heart softened a bit. This damned woman truly had a knack for making him lose control.

He placed her on the bed, sitting beside her, not saying he wanted her; why was she so tense? Seeing her body constantly trembling made him frustrated.

"Don’t be like that? Did I say I wanted to touch you?" She was tortured to this state, and he even had the mood to touch her; she was covered in bruises, and even if he couldn’t resist, he would restrain himself.

His words were like a thorn, lightly piercing her nerves, paralyzing her body.

"Young Master, Miss Gu is here, please don’t be like this, okay? I will endeavor to fulfill our agreement, but please don’t torment me anymore, okay?" She pleaded with him through her sobs, even reaching to clutch his trousers.
