Novel Bin Chapter 162 - No one is forcing me
“Xiao Rou, I’m sorry. It is after all, every man for himself, with the devil… taking the hindmost….”
…
Early the next morning
There was a new set of clothing on the bed, and on the table, ready made breakfast. Gu Xingshen sat on the sofa reading a newspaper and drinking coffee without a word.
Gong Xiaoqiao changed her clothes, showered and sat down at the table to eat. After taking a few mouthfuls, she had no appetite for more.
“I’m done.” Gong Xiaoqiao put her chopsticks down.
Gu Xingshen’s eyes swept over the breakfast, didn’t say anything, picked up his coat and went out. Gong Xiaoqiao followed.
In the car, Gu Xingshen drove silently, with Gong Xiaoqiao looking out the window, also not speaking.
At this time, a car suddenly run straight towards them.
Gu Xingshen’s eyes flashed with a cold light, quickly stepping on the brake.
Gong Xiaoqiao slammed forward due to the inertia, asking anxiously. “What’s going on?”
Gu Xingshen stopped his car, but the other car didn’t stop, bumping heavily into the front of their car.
Gu Xingshen quickly took off his coat and covered Gong Xiaoqiao. The next moment, the window cracked, and broken glass rained down all over them.
Looking through the broken window, Gu Xingshen’s eyes shot straight to the man sitting in the other car.
“Gu Xingshen, Gu Xingshen, are you okay?” Gong Xiaoqiao threw off the coat haphazardly and noticed that Gu Xingshen had small cuts littered on his cheeks and bare arms from the broken glass.
Gu Xingshen immediately covered the cuts with his coat. “It’s okay, get out of the car.”
Gong Xiaoqiao followed him as he got out. The man in the opposite car also came out.
Looking at the extreme anger and despair in the eyes of the man looking at her, Gong Xiaoqiao froze, then murmured, “Qin Yao…”
Qin Yao also had cuts on his body, but the most prominent one was the blood gushing out from the wound on his hand that had been left by the gunshot from the last time.
His face was as pale as fresh snow, his lips dry, hair disheveled, not looking as fresh as usual. If it wasn’t for those pair of eyes, Gong Xiaoqiao wouldn’t have recognized him…
The bright red blood made Gong Xiaoqiao dizzy, and Gu Xingshen supported her hurriedly.
Qin Yao looked at her quietly, the corners of his mouth raising up slowly as he tried to draw them up into a smile. “Xiao Qiao, I’ve come to take you away….”
“I’m sorry to have kept you waiting so long…” He reached out his hand to her, waiting for her answer quietly.
Gu Xingshen’s heart jumped to his throat, but in the next moment, he felt Gong Xiaoqiao bury her head in his chest and hold his hand.
She didn’t look at Qin Yao as she answered, “I’m not going…”
Gu Xingshen breathed out a deep sigh of relief, however he still didn’t let go of the fear in his heart completely.
“Why? Are they forcing you?” Qin Yao looked hurt, asking anxiously.
Gong Xiaoqiao: “No one is forcing me.”
Qin Yao: “Impossible! Is it Gu Xingshen…”
Gong Xiaoqiao interrupted him, her voice full of ridicule. “Qin Yao, don’t you understand yet? From the very beginning, I lied to you.”
Qin Yao’s voice shook, “Xiao Qiao, what are you talking about?”
Gong Xiaoqiao said with an indifferent expression, “From the moment I knew you were back home, I had already began to plan.”
Gu Xingshen’s eyes flickered slightly, looking down at Gong Xiaoqiao with amazement in his eyes.
