Chapter 680: Love Above All Chapter 39: You Don’t Like Me?

Qiao Wan listened, her heart trembling for no apparent reason.

Gu Xiaoxi was the master, and she was just a servant, how could her words possibly be heeded.

Wasn’t this making things difficult for her?

But Jiaolan and the three assistants were all standing respectfully in the living room, showing no intention of leaving.

...

Qiao Wan climbed the stairs with mixed emotions.

Standing at the bedroom door, she gently scratched at it.

There was no sound from inside!

She knocked again, still no response...

After a moment, she summoned the courage to push the door open.

Gu Xiaoxi was sitting on the balcony’s swing chair scrolling through her phone, her face even more unsightly than before.

The cause was a news article.

Bai Yaxuan had actually announced that he would take her to the evening’s banquet, and he had invited all the important ministers of the cabinet as well as their families.

This casual mention was nothing, but the comments under the news segment, speaking all sorts of ugly words about her, belittling her... they affected her mood.

If it weren’t for being in Country A, where she couldn’t act recklessly, she would have really wanted to get that article canceled.

"Madam, are you alright?" Qiao Wan asked softly and gently.

Gu Xiaoxi closed the computer, looking sideways at Qiao Wan, "Has Jiaolan left?"

"Not yet!"

"Go and tell her I am not going to attend the banquet." Gu Xiaoxi now refused to appear in public with Bai Yaxuan.

Following him, who knows how many people she might offend, even if some feared him and wouldn’t do anything to her! But in this vast world, becoming an enemy of everyone, continuously facing traps, was not without precedent.

Qiao Wan stood there without moving, hesitating for a long time, finally conveying Jiaolan’s original words to Gu Xiaoxi.

Gu Xiaoxi heard this, raised an eyebrow in secret, "Threatening me again?"

"Madam..." Qiao Wan originally wanted to persuade Gu Xiaoxi, but the words on the tip of her tongue just couldn’t come out.

"You go out and tell Jiaolan that from now on your salary does not need to be paid by His Excellency, I will pay you." Gu Xiaoxi said this, of course, out of spite.

"This..."

"Say it as I told you!" Gu Xiaoxi spoke emotionlessly, "Oh, and from now on, don’t call me madam."

"Then what should I call you..."

"Whatever!"

After Qiao Wan left, Gu Xiaoxi curled up in the swing chair and closed her eyes, feeling utterly bored with life.

Should she take the initiative to call Bai Yu to hang out?

Just as she was lost in her thoughts, the bedroom door was pushed open again.

She thought it was Qiao Wan, and still with closed eyes, too lazy to even move.

Bai Yaxuan stood at the bedroom door, his gaze falling on the woman leaning in the swing chair.

She was wearing a long-sleeved cotton nightgown, her beautiful chestnut hair loose over her shoulders.

Gu Xiaoxi’s cheeks were soft and white, like that of a newborn baby, her skin so delicate it seemed one could blow it apart, and her features, having shed their youthful air, now held the enticing charm of a woman coming into her own.

Her hands lay casually on the cushion, those delicate and boneless hands always stirred fanciful thoughts. Her snow-white feet, with the little toe resting against the edge of the swing chair, would occasionally move teasingly.

No matter how one looked at her, she resembled a tantalizing little demon.

One that made men want to hold her in their arms and cherish her fiercely.

After a long silence, Bai Yaxuan withdrew his fervent gaze and stepped forward, sitting down beside her.

The swing chair rocked slightly, Gu Xiaoxi’s eyes snapped open, immediately alert to the fact that the person was not Qiao Wan, after all, Qiao Wan would not dare to pounce towards her so boldly.

Upon seeing Bai Yaxuan, she instinctively shrank into the hanging chair, watching him warily. "Why are you back?"

Isn’t this supposed to be working hours?

"Why can’t I be back? This is my home!" Bai Yaxuan raised his hand, intending to move aside her cushion and pull her down from the chair.

But Gu Xiaoxi was prepared, as she slapped away his hand, "Don’t even think about kidnapping me to go to some banquet. I’m tired, I don’t want to go!"

Although she was somewhat rebellious by nature, she had long passed the age of rebellion after being trained by her master.

But now, faced with the powerful Bai Yaxuan, she absolutely could not submit to him. Otherwise, he would have her completely under his control in the future.

Divorce was definitely hopeless...

"Be good, don’t get angry with me. If you’re in a bad mood, you need to go out for a walk. We have a long life ahead of us, and you will eventually have to meet people," Bai Yaxuan said as he caught her slightly cold hand by surprise.

The girl’s hand was softer than he had imagined, and he held it in his palm, not daring to use force, for fear that a careless grip would crush her bones and hurt her.

"Let go of me, Bai Yaxuan...!" Gu Xiaoxi was truly angry, her hand being held as if her lifeline was seized by an evildoer, and she immediately shouted furiously.

"Xiao Xi, be obedient! With me here, no one will bully you. I’ll always be by your side," Bai Yaxuan continued to coax her with a good temper.

Gu Xiaoxi tried hard to pull her hand back, but no matter how hard she tried, it was futile, which only added to her irritation. "Let go of me, I’ve said I won’t go, and I mean it. Bai Yaxuan, if you’re short of a female companion, there are so many women lining up for you, take them! They would definitely be willing."

Bai Yaxuan frowned, and the atmosphere suddenly dropped to freezing point.

Who dared to yell at him like this usually?

Not only did this woman yell at him, but he also patiently coaxed her for a long time, and still, she wouldn’t listen...

Gu Xiaoxi felt apprehensive about the sudden silence, as if her shouting had touched upon a noble taboo that the man could not bear.

Therefore, her voice lowered as well, and her small, fair face was full of grievance, "Bai Yaxuan, we’ve just gotten married, and you’re already forcing me to do things I don’t want to do. Where has your conscience gone?"

Bai Yaxuan took a deep breath, his pale and cool features showing a hint of helplessness.

He was at a loss facing her compliant appearance.

Thus, he released her hand and looked down at her dim little face, explaining, "Xiao Xi, we’ve been married for half a month now. You say people outside look down on you. Now I’m personally hosting a banquet and taking you out. Once everyone gets to know you, they won’t say that anymore. At the banquet, you don’t need to do anything, just follow me."

Gu Xiaoxi hugged the cushion tightly and turned her head, adamant in her stance, "I won’t go! Actually, you don’t have to do anything for me; we will eventually divorce. Without you, I won’t have so many troubles anymore."

"Divorce? Gu Xiaoxi, I dare you to say that again?" Bai Yaxuan stood up angrily from beside her with furrowed brows. Clearly enraged, his usually understated voice raised a few notches.

Gu Xiaoxi perceived the annoyance in his words and sensed trouble, thinking of escaping.

But before she could jump off the hanging chair, she was grabbed around the waist.

Struggling, she hit his hand with her fists, "Let me go, Bai Yaxuan, are you forcing me? I said I wouldn’t go, and I mean it, I hate you."

Bai Yaxuan snorted coldly, lifted the woman from behind, and headed straight for the bedroom.

Gu Xiaoxi, caught off guard, was tossed onto the nearby bed by the man.

She rolled swiftly on the bed, trying to get up, but the next second, the man descended on her like a boulder.

Frightened and panicking, she stretched out her hands to push him away but to no avail as both her small hands were caught by his large palm and pinned above her head, leaving her unable to free herself no matter how she struggled.

"Even if you hate me, you must endure it since you married me," Bai Yaxuan murmured, the normally cool expression on his face showing a rare trace of anger beyond indifference.

He stared into her eyes, which were like those of a frightened deer, and said through gritted teeth, "You don’t like me? Then tell me, whom do you like?"

Gu Xiaoxi panted, for the first time so close to Bai Yaxuan, his broad and solid chest pressing against hers, making it almost impossible for her to breathe.

In the end, she was still a young girl, and while she felt embarrassed, more predominant were feelings of shame and anger, causing her cheeks to involuntarily turn crimson as if they were on fire.

"I don’t like anyone. You’re high and mighty, adored by all. Women who like you could go around the earth several times. Please, won’t you let me go?" Gu Xiaoxi was both frightened and scared. In truth, in front of Bai Yaxuan, she didn’t even have a chance to defend herself.

He was like an indifferent and heartless emperor, with power in hand, while she was just a weak little girl who knew in her heart she couldn’t fight him.

But she had to make herself clear; she didn’t like him and would not live with him for the rest of her life.

"Let you off? Do you know that when you were five, I wanted to marry you. Have I been waiting in vain these fifteen years?" Bai Yaxuan couldn’t help but sneer, his tone turning colder, "It seems I’ve been too indulgent with you, letting you hold onto other things in your heart that you shouldn’t."

"Bai Yaxuan, what are you trying to do...?" Gu Xiaoxi suddenly screamed, her voice hoarse and strained. Because her nightgown was abruptly lifted by a large hand.

A wave of cool air swept across her waist, her hands were still restrained, and her legs were forcefully pinned down. She felt like a little fish tied up, unable to move.
