Chapter 169: Chapter 107: Eyes, The Glow of the Beast_4

Bei Ran was the same; all her stubbornness and pride had gone down the drain.

She no longer wanted to keep up the fight with him!

All the quarreling was just for the sake of one’s pride!

Looking deeper, in her heart, she still cared about him.

She cared about her place in his heart. He didn’t like her, did he? Otherwise, why would he still use her weakness to control her when things had come to this?

Then, if he didn’t like her, what was there for her to mind? What was there for her to quarrel about?

She would quarrel no more!

Her stubbornness was slowly crumbling, bit by bit, in front of his coldness.

Gu Qingchen was holding onto her weakness, but wasn’t that his weakness too?

"If you don’t want to die, you know what to do..." Gu Qingchen supported her hips with one hand to prevent her from drowning in the water.

Bei Ran felt the strength in his palm; he could grant her life or deliver her death!

If she cared about his concern for her, whether in life or death, it would be a burden heavy as Mount Tai!

If she didn’t care about whether he cared for her, whether in life or death, it would be as light as a feather!

But no matter which it was, for Bei Ran at the moment, she felt that he was deliberately torturing her, that he didn’t care about her!

So, she pleaded with him!

Bei Ran lowered her eyes, not seeking to ascertain his emotions that were as deep as the Aegean Sea, and said softly, "I beg you..."

"Beg me for what?" Gu Qingchen propped up her slipping body with one hand.

Bei Ran did not lift her gaze: "Beg you, save me..."

"Don’t you know it’s rude not to look into someone’s eyes when speaking?" Gu Qingchen, however, was capturing all of her gaze into his eyes.

Angered, Bei Ran looked up at him.

His eyes were too profound, like the boundless Aegean Sea, so deep that one could neither see the edges nor the bottom. A single glance and she would be immersed, unable to extricate herself.

In this world, there are unfortunately those who can’t be avoided, even when they speak with humiliating words.

He was purposely tormenting her, yet she was deeply ensnared.

It was only a marriage by contract, and at the end of the term, they were supposed to part amicably, owing nothing, clinging to no one.

Yet, why was there still endless entanglement?

Where had the bearing of the Great Doctor gone!

Gu Qingchen was also gazing at her, her beautiful face unable to hide the sorrow. She was accustomed to hiding her emotions, living under his scrutiny with a gentle mask.

But at this moment, he stripped away her disguise, and she was revealed to be capable of being hurt too!

But compared to the hurt of not knowing about his child’s existence for six years, which was heavier?

Where had her gentleness gone? Her thoughtfulness? Her docility?

Gentleness, thoughtfulness, and docility were but props to mask her lioness-like character.

As their eyes met, her anger could no longer be concealed.

As their eyes met, his excitement could not be hidden.

Bei Ran gazed at him just like that. Didn’t he say it was rude?

Then, she would be polite and stare intently at him.

Her anger had covered up the love she had for him.

He too was staring intently at her; his excitement had reached a point where he seemed as if he wanted to devour her completely.

"Beg you, save me..." Bei Ran’s lips curved, but her voice was devoid of emotion.

If the outpouring of emotion was like flowing water, irreversible and wasted, then she would cease to give any more from now on.

An emotionless plea was nothing more than a sentence filled with humiliation!

A real man can bend and stretch; let alone a pragmatic little woman!

However, Bei Ran still underestimated Gu Qingchen’s scheming and cunning.

Therefore, never underestimate your opponent at any time or place, only then can you hold victory firmly in your grasp.

Gu Qingchen gazed at her somewhat pale little face: "You know, what I want to hear isn’t this..."

"You..." Bei Ran’s face flushed, she knew what he wanted to hear—he wanted her to say it out loud.

In the past, it was the joy between husband and wife, a spice to their love life, a decoration to their marital happiness.

But what about now? They were merely ex-husband and ex-wife, still playing these wet games and ambiguous acts in the pool?

Yet, if she doesn’t say it, he seems determined not to let her get up!

Moreover, she was very sure of it!

If that’s the case, by complying with his wish, after getting out from the swimming pool, they wouldn’t even be friends anymore; she would never see him again—that should be fine, right?

"Please, hold me..." Her lips parted slightly, uttering these few words.

Gu Qingchen reached out to support her waist: "I didn’t hear you..."

Bei Ran wished she could walk on water to kick this man into the pool—was tormenting her like this fun for him?

However, she ultimately suppressed her rage and then said loudly against his chest, "Please, hold me..."

"And add my name..." Gu Qingchen continued to be greedy and said.

Bei Ran swallowed the bitter saliva, she had already complied this far, yet he still wanted her to continue?

Fine!

"Qingchen, please, hold me..."

The next moment, she was lifted into his arms; she was like a drowning person, clutching at the only lifeline available, only this lifeline was far too cruel!

Gu Qingchen heard the words he wanted, his hands pulled her into his embrace, he forcefully crushed her into his chest, continually compressing her.

Bei Ran was squeezed to the point of deformity, and it wasn’t the feeling of suffocation in the water; it was the suffocation in his arms.

She was like a fish out of water, gasping for breath, but without any water to relieve her distress.

Gu Qingchen’s strong arms held her, his voice laced with hard-to-detect emotion, but to Bei Ran, it turned into uncontrollable fury.

"Bei Ran, I really want to violently kill you!"

What unforgivable sin had she committed that he should treat her this way?

Facing Bei Ran’s somewhat puzzled gaze, he then did something very beastly...

His palm, which was supporting her buttocks, was now loosening; with that, Bei Ran’s body would fall freely.

She only felt that, in the pool...

He moved his fingers...

And she, she wanted to struggle not to let him do this.

But the more she struggled, the deeper he went.

Why? Why must he do this?

She looked at him with tearful eyes.

"Crying already?" Gu Qingchen’s lips neared her tearful eyes, "What if there’s something even more unbearable than death for you?"

"What’s wrong with me?" Bei Ran couldn’t help choking up and asking him!

Gu Qingchen’s handsome face was grave, and his voice extremely cold: "You don’t know?"

"I really don’t know..." Bei Ran shook her head.

Gu Qingchen nodded gravely: "Well then, I’ll tell you, Xiaoyu is my daughter! Bei Ran, listen well, she is the daughter of both you and me!"

"How could it be..." Bei Ran looked at him in disbelief, is this the reason he punished and humiliated her?

Did he think she hid their daughter for five years, deliberately keeping her from him? Did he think that she was always playing hard to get?
