Chapter 319: Chapter 320: You’re Worthy?

Gu Qichen sneered coldly: “Offer yourself to me? You truly believe you’re worthy?”
Han Xiaomei’s hand, which was pulling her shoulder strap, suddenly stiffened.
She looked up at Gu Qichen’s face.
It was as if his mask had fallen off.
His eyes now displayed utter disgust.
Like she hadn’t heard clearly, Han Xiaomei said: “What did you just say?”
But Gu Qichen stepped back, as if intentionally putting distance between them.
He said: “Miss Han, you graduated from a prestigious school, don’t you even know the definition of decency?”
Disbelief filled Han Xiaomei’s eyes.
She had never seen anyone reject such a tempting offer.
In fact, she had a vague suspicion when she fell into the water.
But after all, Gu Qichen had jumped in to rescue her.
That had given her a glimmer of hope.
The plan to fake drowning was her best way of testing him.
Han Xiaomei said: “I don’t need anything, Brother Gu, do you believe in love at first sight? From the moment I saw you, my heart almost stopped. I don’t care about status, I don’t care about the future, I just hope you give me a chance to become your woman.”
The disgust in Gu Qichen’s eyes was increasingly apparent.
“Miss Han, your values and shamelessness are truly eye-opening. I have no interest in people like you. Please respect yourself and stop embarrassing yourself.”
Still, Han Xiaomei wouldn’t give up.
As Gu Qichen turned to leave, she asked loudly: “Is it because of Yangyang? I promise to keep our affair a secret and not let her find out.”
Men never refuse an extra favor, especially if it comes in the form of a beautiful woman.
She didn’t believe that a man as lofty as Gu Qichen would be satisfied with just one woman his whole life.
If others could do it, so could she.
As long as there was a chance.
Gu Qichen scoffed, his voice as icy as a dagger: “I will not betray my wife. As for you, you only make me feel disgusted.”
It felt like someone had stabbed Han Xiaomei’s heart.
Gu Qichen’s humiliation stripped her as naked as being thrown into a crowd without clothing.
Shivering, Han Xiaomei blurted: “If you have no interest in me, why did you save me today?”
“Because Yangyang is naive. Even if I didn’t save you, you would have probably swum to the surface. But then, Yangyang would have discovered that this was all an act, all just a ruse to get close to me.”
“Is that your reason? You knew all along that I could swim?”
Gu Qichen replied indifferently: “Miss Han, your methods are deplorably low.”
With their secrets now exposed, Han Xiaomei dropped her pretense.
She sauntered over to Gu Qichen, her allure on full display: “When did you realize that I had ulterior motives towards you? When I asked you to fix the computer? Or when I intentionally spilled water on you last night?”
Asking Gu Qichen to fix the computer was just an excuse to spend a bit of time alone together.
Spilling tea on Gu Qichen’s pants was just a ruse for some physical contact.
Most men can’t resist this kind of trick.
Although Gu Qichen reacted angrily at the time, she wasn’t sure whether he had just been putting on an act.
However, Xia Yangyang later arrived and interrupted her plans.
That’s why she hatched a new plan, using the dragon boat race to test Gu Qichen’s attitude towards her.
If he had already sensed her ulterior motive, he wouldn’t have rescued her from the water.
Since he did save her, it could be seen as a tacit acceptance of her “ulterior motives”.
That was her approach to seducing countless men over the years.
Being born in her circumstances, besides being thick-skinned and ruthless, how else could she rise in the world?
