Chapter 36 — The Infuriating License Plate
The Blossom Guardian · Page 2 of 2
"I..." Gu Mengyao panicked. Was this man insane? Had he taken her so he could have his way with her? The more she thought about it, the more likely it seemed. She was so beautiful, so sexy — eyes so big, skin so fair, breasts so firm. Any man would be tempted...
No... Gu Mengyao wanted nothing more than to cry. If she were ruined by an ugly brute like this, she wouldn't want to live another day. Given the choice, she would sooner give herself to Wei Zhao than to him!
Why Wei Zhao, though? Right now, Wei Zhao was the only man she could think of. That pest Zhong Yongliang she loathed to the very depths of her being, and of the men around her who could even be considered — aside from Uncle Qing — Wei Zhao seemed to be the only one left, wasn't he?
Just thinking about it made her feel like a failure. Her social circle was so narrow she didn't know a single other man.
Why was she cursed with such rotten luck? Gu Mengyao lamented her hard lot even as she desperately racked her brains for a way out.
Seeing Gu Mengyao's face flush and pale by turns, the bald man guessed she had let her thoughts run off in the wrong direction. He sneered. "Fuck, if I wanted a pretty girl, I've got plenty at hand. A little tender thing like you is hardly worth my while. I took you because somebody paid me to — that's all."
Gu Mengyao relaxed at once at his words. So he had no designs on her that way. What a relief.
"Boss, you might not fancy her, but I do. How about letting me have a bit of fun with her?" The one called Ma Liu wore a lecherous grin and reached out to paw at Gu Mengyao.
"Ma Liu, goddamn it, sit still and behave yourself! This girl can't be touched. The higher-ups said she's to be delivered intact." The bald man glowered at Ma Liu and barked.
"Aw, what a waste. Hah." Ma Liu seemed truly afraid of the bald man. Scolded, he shrank back into his seat, not daring to move. "She's so fresh and tender. If I could have just one taste of her, this life of mine wouldn't have been lived in vain."
"Quit your damn useless talk. When this is done, with the money you'll get, you can go find yourself a few schoolgirls and do whatever you like." The bald man waved his hand in impatience, thoroughly disgusted by Ma Liu's lewd eagerness.
Gu Mengyao breathed easy. At least these men weren't after her body; otherwise her virtue would have been ruined for good. What galled her, though, was that the bald man had bound her small, delicate hand together with that bastard Wei Zhao's big one — letting him take a free liberty with her.
Yet at the thought of Wei Zhao's hand, an inexplicable warmth welled up in Gu Mengyao's heart. When she remembered how he had pressed her down with that very hand just moments ago, a nameless feeling stirred inside her, beyond the reach of words.
What was the matter with her? Could such a small kindness really have changed her impression of him? Hmph — no, it couldn't be that easy. And yet, if anyone else had stood in his place, would they have stepped forward for her at such a moment? What, exactly, was Wei Zhao thinking? Gu Mengyao found she could not read him at all anymore...
"Fuck, you silly girl — at a time like this you're still grinning like a fool." When the bald man saw Gu Mengyao blush one moment and secretly smile the next, he grew most displeased. This was an insult! He was a kidnapper, after all, and this girl was smiling right in front of him — was she looking down on him?
"Ah!" Gu Mengyao blurted, coming to herself with a start. Without her even noticing, she had drifted off into a daze again...
