That night, who knows how many times.
Gu YanXuan endured all the abuse from Nie Ziming.
She really did not expect this would be the outcome in the end.
She really did not expect that Nie Ziming could be so cruel to this extent -
To brazenly make his woman sleep with another man.
To be able to sleep with a woman he did not even love.
Just how ruthless must one's heart be to be able to tolerate and actually commit such acts?
At the very least, she absolutely would not sleep with a man she did not love.
At the very least, she absolutely would not let other women sleep with Xiao Nanchen.
Nie Ziming -
She would definitely not let him off!
She would definitely make sure he does not die a good death!
In that instant -
She saw Nie Ziming suddenly fling her blanket aside.
In Gu YanXuan's moment of panic -
She saw Nie Ziming take many nude photos of her with his phone.
"Nie Ziming, what are you doing?!" Gu YanXuan completely broke down again in that instant.
After Nie Ziming finished taking the photos, he put down his phone and said, "Self-protection."
"Nie Ziming!"
"Everyone knows your Gu family has power and influence, and now your brother is also developing World Family so well. I'm just a nobody with no background or influence - I could be gotten rid of by your family in minutes. So taking a few photos gives me a bit of safeguard."
"Nie Ziming, you bastard!" Gu YanXuan cursed viciously.
"Bastard? I'm the bastard, so what does that make you - Worse than a bastard?!" Nie Ziming sneered coldly.
After venting the drug's effects on his body, he had become extremely cold-blooded.
"Using such a disgusting and vile method to frame others, and you still think you're a good person?!" Her words were full of malice.
Gu YanXuan really wanted to kill Nie Ziming - to kill this man.
"Well, much ado about nothing. I wonder Miss Gu, does it feel good?"
"Shut up! Nie Ziming, shut up! It's because you're a useless coward who didn't cherish the chance I gave you and had to treat me this way instead! I curse that you get hit and killed by a car the moment you step outside!" Gu YanXuan cursed viciously, shaking with anger.
She simply could not accept everything that was happening.
She could not accept that her body had been defiled by such a man!
She could not accept it!
"Don't worry, disasters like us can live a thousand years - neither of us will die so easily," Nie Ziming remained completely nonchalant in the face of Gu YanXuan's breakdown.
Even in the face of such a world-shattering event tonight, he could remain entirely unmoved.
Gu YanXuan looked at Nie Ziming with bloodshot eyes.
For a second, she even wanted to die together with Nie Ziming.
No - a worthless life like Nie Ziming's was not worth her sacrificing herself over.
She still had to get Xiao Nanchen.
If she could not get Xiao Nanchen in this lifetime, she would never give up!
"If you don't want anyone catching us sleeping together, I suggest you leave now," Nie Ziming was completely indifferent towards Gu YanXuan's emotions - heartless to the extreme.
Gu YanXuan clenched her teeth.
She forced herself to endure all the pain as she climbed out of bed, picked up her clothes from the floor and put them back on.
One day -
She would return it all twofold!
"Gu YanXuan," Nie Ziming suddenly called out to stop her.
Gu YanXuan whipped her head around fiercely.
"We can still cooperate well," Nie Ziming said. "I believe your brother needs my help very much."
"Dream on!" After suffering so much, Gu YanXuan did not even consider ever interacting with Nie Ziming again.
"The photos on my phone have already been saved to my personal cloud just now. If you get someone to assassinate me, or choose not to cooperate with me anymore, I will upload the photos directly online. I'm sure countless men want to see the Gu family young miss' nudes - including the one you love most, Xiao Nanchen...."
"Nie Ziming!" Gu YanXuan practically screamed!
She never imagined she would meet such a disgusting man.
She never thought there would come a day when she, someone who would not even glance at such a powerless and worthless man, would actually be threatened by him to such an extent.
"After all, I have nothing. If it comes down to it, I'll just live in poverty my whole life. But it would be such a pity for Miss Gu's glorious life to be ruined just like this...."
Gu YanXuan opened the door and rushed out like crazy.
She probably just could not stand to listen any further.
Nie Ziming sneered as he watched Gu YanXuan leave, watching her frantically slam the door shut.
He had to cling onto the Gu family.
And now that Gu YanXuan had delivered herself to him, he would naturally utilize her well.
It was just -
Nie Ziming's expression suddenly turned icy.
Thinking of Xia Qiqi with other men tonight still left a bad taste in his mouth after all.
He may not love Xia Qiqi.
But even if he did not want to admit it, he could not deny that he actually could not accept Xia Qiqi being intimate with other men!
Just imagining Xia Qiqi with other men made his fists clench tightly!
Rejecting Xia Qiqi was not because he did not want to touch her.
On the contrary, he wanted to very much.
He wanted her to be the target for venting his desires.
And the reason why he ultimately chose to handle things this way was not to force Gu YanXuan to keep cooperating with him, but rather because when Xia Zheng Hai gave him shares in Xia Bank, one of the attached conditions was that he could not get back together with Xia Qiqi and could not be sexually involved with her. If that happened, then the gifted shares would automatically become invalid and revert back to Xia Zheng Hai's name.
He absolutely dared not do anything to Xia Qiqi.
The more he thought about it, the angrier he felt.
Nie Ziming picked up his phone and made a call. "How did it go?"
He was asking the other party how things went with the man and Xia Qiqi.
"Xia Qiqi was taken away by An Nuan," the other party replied. "To avoid rousing suspicion, I didn't stop the man I called over when he took her away."
"Where was Xia Qiqi taken?!" Nie Ziming's expression instantly changed.
"I don't know," came the reply.
Nie Ziming's hand gripped the phone so tightly it shook.
"Actually, it's not that hard to guess. Where could Xia Qiqi have possibly been taken by An Nuan - definitely to Xiao Nanchen...."
With a loud "bang", the phone was flung forcefully onto the floor by Nie Ziming.
He had not even considered that in the end, Xia Qiqi would fall conveniently into Xiao Nanchen's hands.
He was pretty much eighty percent certain that nothing would happen between Xia Qiqi and Xiao Nanchen, but because of Gu YanXuan's sinister plots, Xia Qiqi ended up with Xiao Nanchen instead....
Even if it was a woman he did not care for.
Even if she was a woman he could not obtain.
He still did not want her to be so easily gotten by another man.
He still did not want Xiao Nanchen to obtain her so effortlessly.
His expression turned incomparably ugly.
He would definitely repay every bit of his current impotence and suffering twofold!
....
The sky was starting to brighten.
A ray of light shone through a gap in the curtains, illuminating the large bed in the room.
Xia Qiqi opened her eyes.
It felt like she had just slept for a short while - like she had passed out from exhaustion and release, and had only closed her eyes for an instant.
Her eyes now gazed upon Xiao Nanchen lying next to her, seemingly still fast asleep.
So everything that happened last night was not a dream after all.
