Chapter 79: Chapter 79: The Lady was Startled

Gu Qiangwei lifted her gaze, and her sharp eyes swept over her, “Sounds like you’ve been through it before?”

“You!” Caught off guard by her counterattack, Qiao Muxue’s face turned green with anger. She grabbed the coffee cup from the table and fiercely splashed it towards Gu Qiangwei!

But Gu Qiangwei seemed to have anticipated this move, and with a slight tilt of her body, she easily dodged the coffee aimed at her!

“Gu Qiangwei, don’t think that just because you found some random man to back you up, I’m afraid of you! In the end, you’re just using your looks to climb into a man’s bed. What now, flaunting your mistress status here—”

“Slap!”

Qiao Muxue was speaking fervently when suddenly a loud slap halted her incessant cursing.

Covering her face, she looked at Gu Qiangwei in disbelief, “You dare hit me?”

“That’s for your mouth!”

“You—”

Qiao Muxue was furious! She raised her hand to slap back!

But as she raised her hand, suddenly a warm sensation came from above her head, followed by scalding hot coffee pouring down…

“Ah!”

Both Gu Qiangwei and Qiao Muxue were taken aback by the sudden dousing of coffee.

As they turned their heads, they saw…

Qin Sijue? Why was he here?

Gu Qiangwei’s eyes widened as she watched Qin Sijue pour a scalding cup of coffee over Qiao Muxue’s head, his composed expression as if he wasn’t pouring it on someone but watering a plant!

Qiao Muxue was so shocked that she jumped up, and upon seeing who it was, pointed and cursed furiously!

“Who the hell are you!?”

After the coffee was completely poured, Qin Sijue’s fingers loosened, and the coffee cup fell on the wooden floor with a ‘thud’.

Then, calmly, he said to Qiao Muxue, “That ‘random man.’”

Still in shock, Qiao Muxue was stunned by the man’s breathtaking appearance!

Perfect contour, chiseled features, an aura of untouchability exuding from him made her breath catch, feeling almost out of breath.

Yet such a man had… poured a scalding coffee on her!

It wasn’t until the greyish liquid dripped down her forehead that Qiao Muxue snapped out of her daze from Qin Sijue’s handsomeness!

Wanting to rage, but facing Qin Sijue’s cold gaze, she felt intimidated.

“Who are you, exactly? On what grounds did you splash me!?”

Qin Sijue’s face was impassive, like Yama, and he calmly said three words, “I felt like it.”

What?

Qiao Muxue frowned, clutching her hands tightly, but her rage dared not manifest!

And she looked as disheveled as one could possibly imagine at that moment!

Meanwhile, Gu Qiangwei was utterly shocked by Qin Sijue’s sudden appearance.

And yet, his way of dealing with Qiao Muxue was both arrogant and dashing, absolutely reckless!

After his cold gaze swept over Qiao Muxue, Qin Sijue turned his gaze towards Gu Qiangwei, who was still frozen there.

Then, affectionately, he reached out his hand and drew her into his arms.

His sensual lips curved into a smile charming enough to captivate anyone, “My lady was frightened.”

Caught off guard by his sudden action, Gu Qiangwei was taken aback, especially being embraced so tenderly and affectionately by him; it gave her the illusion of being an imperial concubine bullied in ancient times, while he was the domineering, unstoppable emperor, spoiling her outrageously and arrogantly!

My lady?

On the other side, Qiao Muxue was completely dumbfounded! Even more incredulous!
