Sell her body?

Gu Shinian mocked herself. She was really going to do that.

She was going to sell her body to the one she loved deeply. The person for whom she used a lifetime of sorrow in exchange for his lifetime of peace and safety.

…

In the city where the headquarters of the SEC Corporation was situated.

A tall and magnificent building that had towered for half a century filled people with fear and reverence at the sight of it.

A noble monarch.

A prince of the underworld.

These were what this tower solemnly represented.

When Gu Shinian appeared at the SEC headquarters, she heard a woman’s sharp and high-pitched voice say, “Gu Shinian, why are you here?”

If she did not remember wrong, this voice was…

When she turned around, true enough, she saw her arch-nemesis.

Lin Wange stomped towards her in her 20 centimeters high-heeled shoes in an imposing manner. She arrogantly pointed at her nose and raised the pitch of her voice.

“It’s really you! Why are you here?”

“Aren’t you afraid of death? You actually dare to appear here?”

That incident many years ago caused a huge stir.

However, the news was blocked in time and very few people knew about it. This woman who seemingly did not have any power had almost caused this empire to collapse.

Lin Wange was one of the people who knew about the matter.

Before Gu Shinian could say a word, Lin Wange spoke again, “You came here to look for Muchen, didn’t you? Gu Shinian, you’re too shameless! You did such a thing and you actually dare to come here!”

In addition, so many people were after her life. Why was she still alive and well?!

Gu Shinian was expressionless. She retorted, resolving the issue with little effort, “So what if I am shameless? I don’t eat rice from your family. I have let down Qin Muchen but I did not let you down.”

“On what basis are you accusing me? That you’re young Madam Mu? It’s a pity. You are not.”

Lin Wange was exploding with anger at Gu Shinian’s calm demeanor and words. Just as she wanted to retort, out of the corner of her eye, she saw someone approaching them. Suddenly, her eyes swirled and she changed her stance.

“Gu Shinian, don’t be too smug. Muchen dumped you! He is only taking you for a plaything! You’re being used and yet you’re unaware of it!”

“It is no wonder. You’re this young and you were already expelled from school. You have such a bad record. How do you know what shameless is? In hindsight, your parents really had foresight to have abandoned you! If I raise such a shameless thing, I wouldn’t be able to wait to strangle her to death!”

Each word trampled Gu Shinian’s soft spots.

No matter how good her temper was, she could not help but boil with anger.

“Miss Lin, regardless of what I do, I don’t need you to worry.”

“Also.” She took a deep breath and retorted with a sneer, “Who told you that I was dumped by Qin Muchen?”

“Three years ago, I was the one who dumped him.”

Both the good and the bad, she threw away everything. It was for the sake of building a defensive wall to safeguard him.

Just as she finished her words, Gu Shinian could feel a cold and sharp glare shooting her down.

Lin Wange called out affectionately, “Young Master Mu.”

She then trotted towards him.

Gu Shinian closed her eyes. Her heart was struck by a wave of shock.

Oh no…

He… had heard everything, right?

Gu Shinian turned around ‘mechanically’ and her gaze collided with a pair of deep and profound eyes. She bit her lower lips slightly and forced herself to speak, “I was looking for you to talk about something.”

“Where is the security?”

These four words landed coldly and harshly.

The security officer at the door immediately ran over. “Young Master Mu.”

“Since when do we allow any Tom, Dick, and Harry to enter SEC?” He asked in a monotonous voice.
