Gu Shinian ahhed and nodded her head happily. “Yes, that’s right.”

She had conned her way into so much money within such a short time.

Who would not feel happy?

“You’re overjoyed. Is that right?”

She had been unfaithful to her lover and yet she dared smile so fearlessly.

Qin Muchen looked at her sullenly. Click! He pressed the lighter that he always carried with him. When the flame was lit, he threw it.

Swoosh! The silver lighter fell onto the bed of roses. After disappearing for a moment, it engulfed the roses in a sea of flames.

Gu Shinian widened her eyes. Just as she moved a step forward, someone snatched away the bouquet of roses in her hands and threw it into the sea of flames too.

“Ah! What are you doing?”

Gu Shinian hurried to save the roses but Qin Muchen stopped her by wrapping his hands around her waist and securing her in his arms. He then clutched her chin until it hurt. There was obvious rage in his eyes.

She was so shocked that she suddenly lost her voice.

“Gu Shinian.” He was enraged. His fingers exerted strength and her exquisite chin was hurting very badly. “You actually dare to find another man!”

You dared to smile that happily to the other party.

You dared to accept the flowers from him.

Did she really take him, Qin Muchen, for a dead man!?

“Do you think that you can be bold and fearless just because I don’t intend to kill you?” He imprisoned her within his range of control. Both his hands were pressing against the sports car beside her. He bent down and lowered his line of sight to be parallel with hers.

He was seemingly both flirting and threatening.

She could only see the darkness in his eyes. It was bottomless.

“W-what are you talking about? Why don’t I understand you?” Gu Shinian could sense his anger no matter how slow-witted she was. “I didn’t look for another man.”

“Who was that man then?” Qin Muchen was almost interrogating her.

Gu Shinian replied honestly, “A passerby.”

She did not even remember his name.

“Hmm, to be exact, he was a passerby who was a Nouveau riche.”

If it were other people, Qin Muchen might think that she was putting on a false pretense.

However, he knew Gu Shinian very well.

Towards things and people that were unimportant, she was too lazy to waste her energy on them. She could not even remember their names.

She could label all of them as passersby.

Gu Shinian’s heart ached so badly when she looked at the roses. She drooped her shoulders sorrowfully. After enduring for a long time, she then tugged at Qin Muchen’s sleeves.

“My money.”

They were all gone.

“Money?”

Qin Muchen raised his brows. He then looked at that sea of roses and suddenly frowned.

It seemed that… he had misunderstood.

True enough, in the next moment, she heard Gu Shinian explain, “My mom suddenly asked me to accompany him for dinner. He says that I’m very beautiful and gave me flowers. He seemed quite rich. S-so… I conned him out of some money… These flowers were very expensive. If I sell them, I can get a lot of money. Y-You… have to compensate me.”

When Fu Yi, who was by the side, heard the words, he looked at the roses helplessly.

It turned out that the truth was as she said.

However, Gu Shinian was indeed Gu Shinian… When she was being silly, no one could outdo her! Obviously, that man wanted to woo her!

Qin Muchen stared at her serious expression. His usually calm face also had a trace of an emotional breakdown.

She was not double-crossing him.

She was only… swindling people out of their money!

Qin Muchen closed his eyes hard and walked off coldly.

He had been furious. Yet, in the end, this was the truth!

“Qin Muchen… Compensate me, ” Gu Shinian uttered feebly.

Qin Muchen seemed to be feeling extremely vexed. He grabbed her and threw her into the car. He then slammed the car door, pulled his tie off and unbuttoned the first two buttons of his shirt.

Gu Shinian rolled down the car windows and revealed her little head. “Qin Muchen… ”
