Chapter 20 - Help? But who would dare to assist her?

"Hmph? You little fox, I've been coaxing you for so long, and you dare to try and play me?" As he spoke, Yù Àotiān slowly pulled a recording phone from her waist and waved it in front of her eyes.

She froze. Oh no. How could this man's instincts be so sharp?!

"Coax me? Who needs your coaxing?! Give me the phone!" Yáoyáo lunged to grab it, but with his towering height, her attempts were futile, even if she jumped.

"Little fox? No, from now on, I should call you cunning fox," Yù Àotiān sneered, raising the phone higher. "Looks like I underestimated you."

"You forced me to do this!"

"Oh? Then tell me, who were you planning to give this recording to? Manager Lóng?"

"As if! You're all the same, birds of a feather!" Truthfully, Yáoyáo hadn't thought that far ahead. Rolling her eyes, she retorted, "I'll give it to Bossen's CEO. Let's see if he can deal with you!"

Hah. At the end of the day, that recording would just come back to his hands. How redundant. But Yù Àotiān despised being schemed against.

In a flash, Yáoyáo caught him off guard, opening her mouth and biting down hard on his arm!

"Hah! A biting little fox now, are you?" His icy eyes narrowed as he reached out and viciously grabbed her hair.

"Ah!" Yáoyáo let out a cry of pain.

"Little thing, you're asking for it!"

Seeing the dark look on his face, Yáoyáo knew she was in deep trouble this time.

With a swift motion, his powerful hand threw her against the elevator wall with a resounding thud.

"You brute…" she gasped, quickly wiping the tears welling up in her eyes. Springing to her feet, she yelled, "You're nothing but a violent brute!" and charged at him again.

At that moment, the elevator resumed its ascent, heading straight for the 46th floor. Yù Àotiān's eyes flickered briefly toward the display before he grabbed her neck.

"Let go of me—mmph!"

Her unfinished words were swallowed by a domineering kiss. Right then, the elevator doors slid open.

Everyone outside was greeted with the sight of a man and woman locked in a heated kiss. They froze momentarily, but as soon as they recognized who the man was, panic washed over their faces.

Yù... Yù Zǒng?!

The icy glare Yù Àotiān shot at them made everyone tremble uncontrollably.

"Uh... sorry, sorry for the intrusion..." The onlookers stammered and quickly scurried away.

Seriously?! Are they blind? Can't they see I'm being forced into this? Yáoyáo silently screamed for help with her eyes, but the further they walked away, the more her hope faded. The elevator doors slowly closed, and she was left in despair.

Yù Àotiān finally broke off the kiss, but instead of backing off, he slammed the close button.

"You… what are you doing?" Her voice quivered as the elevator ground to a halt, mirroring the dread building in her chest.

Yù Àotiān chuckled coldly, his steps slow and deliberate as he closed in on her. "Congratulations, little fox. You've successfully… pissed me off."

She had no idea how dangerous this man truly was, nor the severity of the consequences for provoking him. But she did know one thing for sure—what awaited her next would be…

"No, please… let me go…"
