Chapter 644: Love Above All Chapter 3: The Whisperer (3000 words) _2

"..."

Ga ga ga...

At that moment, silence enveloped everything.

Gu Xiaoxi hastily wiped off the water on her face, cursing her bad luck inside, her fortunes befallen. Fresh in her career and she had already run into a gang of toughs—damn impressive and overwhelmingly outnumbered.

What was a helpless, solitary girl to do?

Seeing the gang leader she was clinging to remain silent, she slowly lifted her head, craning it at a 180-degree angle just to catch a glimpse of the man’s chiseled jaw.

"Gulp!" Gu Xiaoxi swallowed nervously, hands gripping his thigh even tighter. "Please don’t kill me, I was bought for ten million after all. Even though you’re rich, you shouldn’t waste money like that."

"Pfft..." In such a severe atmosphere, no one expected her to be so sly in her defense.

"Oh..." Quan Shaoqing, under everyone’s astonished gazes, gradually leaned over, then reached out to pinch the girl’s chin.

His touch was wet, smooth, and soft; close enough to smell the scent of her makeup.

Strangely, he found himself not disliking the sensation.

Gu Xiaoxi’s eyes rolled around furiously. She’d seen him kill someone just now, and she heard his conversation.

She wouldn’t have her tongue cut out or eyes gouged, would she?

Especially since the man had barely uttered a word since, and with such a fierce, deep voice, it made her feel very scared inside!

"Tell me, what can you do? Let’s see if my ten million was well spent!"

Upon hearing this, Gu Xiaoxi quickly brainstormed, seizing the chance to get off the ground. She also successfully diverted his attention.

Having looked up at the man for too long, her neck was about to break.

"Although I can’t clearly say what I’m capable of, whatever you want me to learn, I’ll learn." Gu Xiaoxi hurriedly made excuses to stay alive.

After saying this, she confidently threw a suggestive look at Young Master Quan.

Only to see, the man who was cold just before, now turning even colder.

The men in black on the side, upon seeing this, almost burst out laughing.

Gu Xiaoxi’s makeup had been smeared from clinging to his legs since falling into the water.

She might have been fine not moving, but with that one suggestive look, her face was all twisted, like a clown who’d been stepped on.

Seeing everyone’s disdainful expressions, Gu Xiaoxi shyly counted on her fingers and said, "I’m so pretty, if you like, I can serve you well."

"Pfft..." Quan Shaoqing’s subordinates looked at Gu Xiaoxi, barely holding back their laughter.

At the same time, they were also shocked. When had their boss ever been so patient as to chit-chat with a purchased slave, and to be leg-hugged at that?

Even with a displeased face, the fact they didn’t immediately order someone to throw her in the water was, in itself, quite remarkable.

Quan Shaoqing, with a dark expression, looked down at the woman barely reaching his chest, grabbed her by the back of the head, and then shoved her into the cabin.

His inexplicable action shocked everyone there and they exchanged glances!

Why did it seem like there was a bit of a romantic tension?

"This woman wasn’t killed, and now the boss has taken her away?"

"Man, our boss’s taste is so unique!"

"Is the boss going to indulge tonight?"

Onboard, Quan Shaoqing’s subordinates exchanged meaningful glances.

"Ow, ow, ow... slow down!" With her head in his grasp, Gu Xiaoxi could only play along for the time being, all the while plotting her escape.

She wouldn’t follow such a ruthless man.

She wanted freedom; she wanted to soar.

But for now, she needed to placate this man if she was to have any chance of getting away.

In the ship’s main cabin, luxurious leather sofas and lavish grand chandeliers adorned the first floor.

Quan Shaoqing released Gu Xiaoxi and sat directly on the sofa, his gaze coldly fixed on her, commanding in a voice that brooked no opposition, "Kneel down!"

"What?" Gu Xiaoxi rubbed her head, sore from his strong grip, her eyes widening in disbelief.

This man, like an emperor, all majestic and aloof,

Was actually asking her to kneel.

"I never repeat myself," Quan Shaoqing’s deep voice rumbled, dark and seductive.

But to Gu Xiaoxi, it sounded terrifying, like the Devil himself.

"You must be out of your mind! Why should I kneel to you, what right do you have to make me kneel? And if you have nothing else, I’m leaving. This place is no fun at all." Gu Xiaoxi felt she couldn’t keep up the act.

She wasn’t someone who could be easily bullied. Just because they had the numbers didn’t mean she was afraid of them.

This man had better not push her too far. If she got angry, it’d be a case of both sides suffering.

"It seems you’re quite defiant?" Quan Shaoqing once again picked up a fruit knife from the table. Every room here seemed to have a similar fruit plate and knife.

They were conveniently placed.

Scaring Gu Xiaoxi into taking a step back, though she was far from frightened.

When facing enemies you can’t beat, you shouldn’t panic, you need to outmatch them in demeanor.

She casually sat down on the sofa opposite Quan Shaoqing, her face gloomy as she retorted, "Since I fell into your hands, I’ll accept it. But if you expect me to kneil, there’s no way. Plus, I have only kneeled to my deceased mother."

"You’ve got guts, speaking so boldly in the presence of Young Master Quan. Do you have a death wish?"

Gu Xiaoxi sneered dismissively, "Pff! The one who begged for mercy earlier, I didn’t see him survive either."

"Indeed, you heard our conversation," Quan Shaoqing’s gaze instantly turned sharp.

Gu Xiaoxi, with her legs crossed, grinned and chuckled, "I didn’t understand what you all were talking about, but I saw clearly. You were killing someone. Tell me first, who are you people?"

No sooner had Gu Xiaoxi spoken

Than a round of mocking laughter erupted in the cabin.

"She doesn’t even know who we are and she dares to board our ship, watching and listening in. Young Master Quan, just take her out and throw her into the sea to feed the fish. This kind of woman will cause trouble sooner or later," a subordinate contemptuously looked at Gu Xiaoxi, eagerly giving malicious advice.

Gu Xiaoxi’s brow furrowed, her gaze suddenly sharp. In a standoff, the worst is this kind of backseat troublemaker.
