CHAPTER 160: CHAPTER 144: CAPTURED_2

And that little boy’s attentive demeanor.

It really looked like this person was appointed by Qiao Yuxian.

Mr. Gu appeared cold as ice on the surface, yet there was a volcanic eruption inside.

He immediately walked towards her.

Qiao Yuxian saw him approach, stood up, stepped on the table, leaped over, and dashed into the crowd.

"Hey! Sister?" The little boy was still calling her, even running a few steps after her, "Sister, you didn’t finish your words! Could you at least leave a contact method...?"

The remaining words were left unsaid as he was pulled back.

"Who are you?" The little boy looked at Gu Yanjing.

Gu Yanjing’s demeanor was as cold as three feet of ice as he directly flung the man back.

His strength was so great that the little boy felt like he was momentarily airborne before landing again. He staggered back... backward... backward...

If it weren’t for bumping into someone and stopping, he felt he would have kept retreating until he fell.

Gu Yanjing said nothing to him, flung him off, and went after Qiao Yuxian.

By this time, Qiao Yuxian had already run out through the back door of the bar.

Behind the bar were winding alleys.

Qiao Yuxian had never been here before, weaving through them, looking for an exit.

Once again, she entered a dead-end and turned back, only to hear approaching footsteps after just a few steps.

She stopped, taken aback.

In that moment of surprise, Gu Yanjing turned into the alley.

There were no streetlights, but the moon was large.

The moonlight spilled down, and because of his icy demeanor, it became even colder.

Qiao Yuxian watched him approach step by step.

Cold moon, cold sky, cold man.

Her first instinct was, if she didn’t run, she’d be three inches under grass by next year.

So she ran again, planning to climb over the alley.

But she hadn’t taken five steps before being scared into stopping dead in her tracks.

"Qiao Yuxian!" Gu Yanjing shouted her name sternly.

The sound was so terrifying it could make her soul tremble thrice.

Qiao Yuxian instinctively stopped, not daring to run.

Gu Yanjing walked towards her: "Come here."

Qiao Yuxian paused for two seconds, then slowly turned to look at him. In half a second, her expression changed, showing a well-behaved, ingratiating smile, exclaiming with surprise: "When did you get back? Why didn’t you tell me in advance?"

While talking, she kept stepping back.

"Stay there," Gu Yanjing said.

Knowing she couldn’t escape, Qiao Yuxian stood still.

Gu Yanjing walked towards her in big steps.

When he was close, Qiao Yuxian lowered her head and admitted her mistake: "I was wrong. I shouldn’t have stayed up late, and I definitely shouldn’t have lied to you about sleeping."

Gu Yanjing unzipped his down jacket, took it off, reached her, and wrapped the down jacket around her.

It was hot inside the bar, so Qiao Yuxian had taken off her down jacket and was only wearing a thin shirt inside.

She escaped without taking her coat.

In December, wearing just a thin shirt running outside.

With the jacket wrapped around her, Qiao Yuxian was momentarily stunned, looking up at him.

Her beautiful foxy eyes were bright and clear, looking at him obediently.

Gu Yanjing was quite angry about her running away, and his expression was not good. He tugged at the sleeve of the down jacket, speaking coldly: "Arm."

Qiao Yuxian chuckled a bit, then slipped her arm into the sleeve.

Once she was dressed, Gu Yanjing bent down to zip it up.

The coat was long and oversized. It fit Gu Yanjing well, but on Qiao Yuxian, it trailed noticeably over.

When its sleeves moved, it looked like water sleeves swirling out.

It made her look even smaller.

"I can’t get out," Qiao Yuxian said softly.

Gu Yanjing said nothing, took hold of the excess sleeve, and started walking out with her.

Following him, Qiao Yuxian asked: "When did you get back? Didn’t you say it would be in a few days?"

Gu Yanjing didn’t answer.

Qiao Yuxian tilted her head to look at him, saying, "The dubbing studio had a year-end gathering, and after dinner, we came to the bar to have fun. You know I have a dubbing studio, right?"

Gu Yanjing still didn’t answer.

Qiao Yuxian continued explaining, "I just came out to have fun, afraid you’d worry, so I told you I was asleep. I didn’t mean to deceive you."

"And about that little boy," Qiao Yuxian added, "he indeed had some unrealistic ideas about me, but I’ve been persuading him to reform and walk the straight and narrow path."

After speaking, she looked at him again and said, "There’s nothing I can do about it, right? I’m just this pretty, and it’s natural for people to hit on me. I’m also this rich, with such a good personality, and so adorable. Who wouldn’t be charmed upon seeing me? Isn’t that right, Mr. Gu?"

She nudged Gu Yanjing’s shoulder.

Gu Yanjing turned his head to look at her.
