You Are My Gravity-Chapter 2

Extortion

Qin Se inhaled deeply. She gently flipped her hair behind her back and walked toward Gu Jingyuan. As she passed by the group of people, she purposely twisted her ankle and fell toward Gu Jingyuan, the man who was surrounded by the group.

Just as she was falling, a pair of big strong hands held onto Qin Se steadily.

She looked up and fell into the deep and meaningful eyes of Gu Jingyuan. His stare was icy cold, like a three-meter-thick ice wall. Yet, on second glance, it was as blazing hot as the summer sun.

Qin Se was stunned slightly. Then, she feigned a surprised look by opening her cherry red lips slightly. She said timidly, “Thank you… un… un… uncle…”

At that very moment, Qin Se’s heart skipped a beat.

This man was Gu Jingyuan. He was the Shen family’s cousin, a man who made people stand on the tip of their toes to look up to and yet, could never reach his height. A legendary icon in the high society of the capital.

His eyebrows were sharp, and his features were comparable to a sculpture that was designed with sharp angles. His handsome face was intimidating—the kind that made people forget how to breathe when they first laid their eyes on him. If one could assess this beauty of his, obviously, Gu Jingyuan’s scores would have overflowed from the chart.

He had a pair of slender and single-eyelid eyes. The reflections in his eyes shone like the cold stars in the night sky. He looked indifferent when he was not smiling, but when he smiled… it made people shudder.

His lips were thin and red. When combined with his slightly pale complexion, Gu Jingyuan gave the impression of a deserted, solidarity man, who made people want to avoid him.

He was thin and very tall, and one had to look up to meet him in the eyes.

According to their super distant status of a generation within the family, she should have to call him “Uncle”.

Wang Qiuxia loved to show off their relationship to everyone she met. According to her, Gu Jingyuan was her cousin. However, the truth was that Gu Jingyuan didn’t even know who she was.

In the past, Qin Se had only met him twice from a distance through the crowd.

But today, Gu Jingyuan was her target. She had been fooled by Shen’s family for two years. Now, it was payback time.

The term “Uncle” startled Gu Jingyuan, and he was stunned for a second. Then, he let go of Qin Se’s arm, expressionless and ready to leave.

“Uncle, I sprained my ankle. It’s killing me… can you send me to the hospital?” Qin Se had an innocent face. Her friends often teased her saying that she had the face of an angel. When she put on a pitiful face, she could melt the iron-hearted.

Gu Jingyuan’s eyes flashed through with a hint of playfulness. What poor acting skills—one could see through her lies with a single glance.

The color of his eyes was slightly lighter than others—the color of amber. When he gazed at someone, it created a pull that locked the person’s shadow into his eyes and solidified it. His gaze could imprison that person within his eyes, and the person was then trapped and unable to move.

That was precisely what Qin Se felt at the moment. It was difficult for her to break away.

She grimaced and pretended to be in pain. She cried delicately with a trembling voice, “Uncle…”

She thought that Gu Jingyuan was going to refuse. Unexpectedly, her body was suddenly lifted up into the air in the next second. She froze and only returned to her senses when Gu Jingyuan had stuffed her into the car.

Surprisingly, Gu Jingyuan had held her!

‘Oh, my god!!!’

Her whole plan had started off well, but Gu Jingyuan didn’t say a single word for the entire trip even as they drew nearer to the hospital. He merely sat quietly beside her from an arm’s length.

Qin Se began to get anxious about her plan’s progress. Her target didn’t seem to be picking up her hints at all. What was she to do?!

Suddenly, the car made a sharp turn to dodge a vehicle that had driven in from the opposite direction. Qin Se’s body swayed following the movement of the car, and coincidently, she fell into Gu Jingyuan’s arms. She was thrilled, seeing as this was an opportunity for her!

Gu Jingyuan held onto her politely. Once the car had stopped swerving, he let go of her like a true gentleman, not wanting to take advantage of a lady.

Still, Qin Se held onto him as if she was spineless. She murmured softly beside his ears, “Uncle, actually, my foot doesn’t hurt. But… my chest hurts… if only you can rub it for me…”
