So What If the Beautiful Campus Belle Loves Money? (16)
The abnormal laughter made Shi Zheng's heart sink.
Her eyes filled with confusion. "You... what are you laughing at? What's so funny?"
Gu Yanshen stopped laughing, but he grew even more dangerous.
He closed in on her.
He was close enough for Shi Zheng to see the dark undercurrent of obsession in his eyes.
"What am I laughing at?" Gu Yanshen repeated her words. "I'm laughing at... this boyfriend of yours. Does he know?"
"What?"
Gu Yanshen bent down, his warm breath brushing the rim of her ear. "Does Hua Jinchen know that you and I...?"
He spoke slowly and clearly, making sure Shi Zheng heard him.
Shi Zheng's pupils contracted.
Her whole body went rigid, and her blood seemed to rush to her head in an instant.
But Gu Yanshen didn't stop. "Does Hua Jinchen know where your... is?"
"Is it here... or here?"
His gaze swept pointedly over the side of her neck and her earlobe... places where he had once left marks.
"Does Hua Jinchen know..."
At some point, his fingers had come to rest gently on her back, between her shoulder blades.
Though a thin layer of fabric lay between them, the touch of his fingertips inexplicably made Shi Zheng tremble slightly.
"Does he know there's a tiny mole on your back, near your shoulder blade?"
Shi Zheng's face turned scarlet in an instant.
Her eyes widened in disbelief as she looked at Gu Yanshen, who seemed like a complete stranger.
He was no longer the aloof, abstinent Student Council president.
Now desire burned in his eyes, and his tone was full of aggression as he laid their intimate memories bare before them both.
"Hua Jinchen doesn't know, does he?" Gu Yanshen stared at her rapidly changing expression. "He doesn't know a thing."
"How pitiful... to be led around in circles by a little liar like you..."
Gu Yanshen's gaze settled on an unhealed wound on her lips.
His eyes abruptly turned cold.
There was no need to ask whose mark it was.
He said nothing, merely raised his thumb and pressed it hard against the eyesore of a mark.
"So, Shi Zheng, if you look at it that way..."
His voice was low and hoarse, like a devil's whisper. Each word struck the tip of her heart, making sure she heard every one of them clearly.
"I'm the one who's your man."
"You... you're being shameless!"
Shi Zheng's mind went completely blank.
Gu Yanshen could actually say something like that without batting an eye!
"Shameless?" Gu Yanshen raised a brow, seemingly unconcerned by the assessment.
He didn't want to listen anymore.
He didn't want to hear another thing about "Hua Jinchen" from that endlessly chattering mouth, which could always so easily throw his thoughts into disarray.
Gu Yanshen's eyes darkened, and the arm around her waist tightened sharply.

Shi Zheng shoved at him with all her strength, raising her voice. "Let go of me! This is the conference room. Have you gone mad?!"
But Gu Yanshen paid no heed to her struggles or her scolding.
He pulled back slightly. "Break up with him."
It wasn't a request; it was an order.
Shi Zheng's heart tightened.
She bit her lower lip, turned her head away, and answered with silence.
Break up?
How could I?
Hua Jinchen was her conquest target. How could she give him up just because Gu Yanshen said so?
Her silence was the best answer.
Gu Yanshen looked at her averted profile, and the last trace of reason in his eyes was utterly extinguished.
He gave a low, cold laugh. "Fine... very good."
The instant the words left his mouth, he suddenly released his hold on her waist.
