A hazy blue light shrouded the entire small building.
All the servants had been sent away, leaving only the two of them.
One corner of the large bed in the master bedroom had sunk slightly.
Li Wei covered the full curve of her chest with her right hand while pressing down the hem of her pale-blue dress with her left.
She curled up in the corner of the bed, putting on an expression of "trepidation and terror." Her acting was outrageously over the top.
She raised her head and looked at the man standing beside the bed, stammering out her opening line.
She had pinched her voice into something thin and weak, as though she were a frightened little white rabbit.
"Mr. Gu, Madam Liang said that as long as... as long as... I submit to you, she'll help my little brother get treatment. Is that true?"
Gu Jinzhi was casually draped in a loose bathrobe, and the corner of his handsome face was twitching.
Watching this woman possessed by the spirit of an actress, he found it rather hard to hold himself together.
He remained silent for a long while.
It seemed he was carrying out some arduous mental preparation.
After quite some time, he finally found his voice again. He deliberately lowered it, making it hoarse and richly magnetic.
"Of course."
"As long as you obediently do as you're told, the Gu family will naturally smooth over every problem for you."
At that, Li Wei blinked her moist, enormous eyes.
The next second, all the terror and trepidation vanished from her face without a trace.
She abruptly sat straight up and opened with a single sentence.
"Then hurry up and get to it. What are you standing there gawking for?"
Gu Jinzhi: ???
Gu Jinzhi: !!!
