Chapter 10 What Do You Take Me For

Qiao Yuqi stared at the shut door, took a deep breath and turned the knob. A modestly luxurious and spacious office desk came into view. Behind that desk, a man was leaning on his chair with his back facing the desk. “Mr. Gong.” Qiao Yuqi stopped in her tracks and called out. “You're here,” Gong Hao's voice sounded calm. There was no trace of emotion at all. It made Qiao Yuqi more nervous. “Don't be nervous. Have a seat.” Gong Hao said as he turned the chair around. His sharp facial features came into Qiao Yuqi's view as he was facing her. His penetrating gaze seemed to have the ability to see right through people. “No, thanks.” Qiao Yuqi placed the proposal on the desk. “This is Huiteng Group's proposal. Please have a look.” “No hurry.” Gong Hao didn't even look at it. He walked right past the desk to where Qiao Yuqi was standing. He was tall and oppressive. Every step he took seemed like a threat to Qiao Yuqi. She couldn't help but take a few steps back. “You don't look good. Didn't sleep well yesterday?” “Huh?” Qiao Yuqi didn't understand him. “Mo Jingwen hasn't been treating you well, has he?” “Mr. Gong, what are you trying to say? Does it matter to you whether Mo Jingwen has been treating me well or not? Has it got to do with the proposal we're discussing today?” “Of course!” She didn't expect Gong Hao to answer so coolly. “If not for you, Huiteng Group wouldn't even have gotten the chance to submit their proposal.” At that last sentence, Qiao Yuqi had retreated to the wall. She had no other place to hide. Once again, he had pressed her against the wall. He took whiff of the alluring fragrance of the woman. It was simply irresistible to him. She felt his desire and quickly propped up her hand on his chest. “Mr. Gong, I made it clear yesterday. We've called it quits. If you're trying to have your way with me again today, I won't let you off!” Gong Hao chuckled lightly. “You're afraid of me?” “Everyone's afraid of someone who harbors ill intentions against them!” Gong Hao released her. He sat down on the sofa and watched the woman before him. “And you have the guts to come here?” “I've come to present the proposal!” Qiao Yuqi took the proposal and placed it before Gong Hao. Gong Hao continued to ignore it. “Haven't I made myself clear? Any other company can do up a better proposal that you. Why would I choose Huiteng Group? Give me a valid reason.” “We...” Qiao Yuqi clenched her teeth. “What will it take for you to take a look at the proposal?” “Be mine.” Gong Hao answered straightaway. “No way!” Qiao Yuqi stood up at once. “I'm married. I'm Mo Jingwen's wife.” “Oh!” Gong Hao was indifferent. “What about it? You came to me on your own will late into the night. We're all grownups now; we simply have to satisfy each other's own needs. I'm sure you know...” Satisfy each other's own needs? Qiao Yuqi's face turned pale. “What do you take me for?” Gong Hao raised his brows, “A married woman who went out in the middle of the night to sleep with another man. What do you think I take you for?” “You're shameless!” Qiao Yuqi was flushed with anger. “It was an accident! Mr. Gong, if you have no wish to talk about the proposal, then there's nothing more to say between us.” “OK!” Gong Hao crossed his legs and looked at the fuming woman in front of him. “You've rejected me today. You're going to suffer in the Mo family in the days to come.” “Need you care!” That said, Qiao Yuqi bolted out the door.
