Still in the bedroom of Gu Mansion, Jiang Muwan hugged her knees on the sofa, looking up at Gu Jiangnian, her eyes fixed on the man in front of her, whose anger was surging like an overwhelming force.
Clarity filled her usually cautious and timid eyes, a rarity in front of Gu Jiangnian.
Perhaps unable to contain his rage, Gu Jiangnian reached out and rolled up his sleeves bit by bit, revealing his robust forearms, gripping her attention without a hint of wanderlust. On the contrary, the more she stared, the more intense the anger grew.
He raised his hand and made a gesture, signaling Lan Ying to leave.
Lan Ying, clearly sensing that the atmosphere was amiss, how could she leave?
"Sir...," she tried to start, hoping to persuade.
"Don't make me say it twice," this was a warning laced with imminent rage, a final ultimatum. Lan Ying knew all too well that she was powerless to persuade the master of the house.
