Qin Youbei explained again with a very sincere attitude, "Sir, I'm really just a student, and I've been preparing for exams at school for the past half month; you've got the wrong person, right?"
Her mind raced, trying to figure out how to escape.
She managed to knock him out last time; she could definitely do it again.
Once she did, she would flee this place immediately, even if she had to walk, she would get down the mountain.
The man coldly spat out two words: "Prevarication!"
Gu Xiao's paranoia drove Qin Youbei crazy, yet she felt helpless. She took a deep breath and said with a good temper, "I'm not prevaricating!"
Gu Xiao's lips curled up in a sarcastic smile, "..."
Qin Youbei knew he had made up his mind, and no matter how much she denied it, it would be useless, but even so, she still couldn't admit it.
Suddenly, an idea struck her. She coughed lightly, with a shy expression on her face, she said hesitantly, "You said that woman stole from you, right? I can prove it wasn't me, really! I've never done such a thing because I..."
Gu Xiao: "..."
Qin Youbei suddenly closed her eyes, her face flushing red as she said, "I... I haven't done it before. If you don't believe me, you can get a doctor to check. I... I'm still a virgin. How could a virgin steal, right?"
After saying this, she lowered her head in embarrassment.
For the sake of her life, she really went all out! Absolutely unreserved!
Gu Xiao said mockingly, "In modern society, fake it till you make it."
Fake it?
What?! He actually said she was faking... this was beyond endurance.
Qin Youbei's eyes widened in astonishment, round like a cat's, glaring at him furiously, her face now genuinely red with both shame and anger.
Completely forgetting how dangerous the man was, she spoke her mind without filter, "Who would fake such a thing? You're the phony, all of you is fake. You think I'm easy to bully, right? Let me tell you, I've had training, I can disarm you with bare hands. If you dare mess around, I'll beat you till you're crying for your mama."
Gu Xiao narrowed his eyes, a deep and dark aura gradually seeping from them, his lips pressed into a thin line, looking quite unapproachable.
Qin Youbei was startled by his gaze.
When she realized what she had just said, her face involuntarily paled, and she quickly explained, "I didn't mean that, I just wanted to make it clear, I'm not a fake, I'm a chaste maiden, and your accusation is outrageous, of course I'm going to be upset, right?～"
Who the hell needs to explain to a big man that she wasn't man-made, Qin Youbei wailed in her heart.
Ahhh! Where was the promised fierceness? Where was the promised fluff up?
Scared witless by a mere glance, she began to despise herself for being so cowardly.
But the enemy was too strong, and she had no choice but to play it meek.
Just... playing it meek.
That's all!!
Gu Xiao quietly sat down on a couch styled in imperial governance, casually resting his arms on the chair, his long legs elegantly crossed, every movement smooth and graceful, his demeanor and posture lazy and casual; yet, performed by him, they exuded an extraordinary regal charm, as if the man was born to be this way.
"I'm not interested in knowing how you faked it!" he said, staring at Qin Youbei with an analytic look.
Qin Youbei felt like a prisoner awaiting sentence, utterly wretched.
Who the hell faked anything! She'd just run into his room in blind panic, and now she had to deal with this total freak.
No no no, a narcissist with delusions of grandeur.
