Don't meet me in your next life.

"President... CEO..."

"Let her go! Let her go!" Gu Zeyu waved his arms impatiently. "I don't want to see her!"

Xiang Yi ran to the elevator and pressed the elevator button, but no one pressed it.

what happened?

She couldn't help but wonder.

I hope nothing bad will happen to this elevator.

Just then, the elevator doors suddenly opened.

A male doctor in a white coat and glasses poked his head out: "Ms. Xiang, is there something wrong with the elevator?"

"Yes..." Xiang Yi nodded quickly, "Can you help me take a look?"

The doctor in the white coat smiled and said, "Please wait a moment."

After saying that, he went inside and closed the elevator door.

The elevator descended floor by floor, and Xiang Yi paced anxiously in place, her heart pounding with unease.

She's so unlucky!

Why did the elevator have to malfunction?

Xiang Yi looked dejected.

Just then, a long, strong arm suddenly reached out from beside her and grabbed Xiang Yi's wrist.

"Ah--" Xiang Yi screamed.

She opened her eyes wide in horror.

With a "crack" sound, Gu Zeyu suddenly pulled Xiang Yiyi's arm backward.

Xiang Yi stumbled and fell into Gu Zeyu's arms.

Gu Zeyu pinned Xiang Yi against the wall, his eyes fixed on her like sharp arrows.

Xiang Yi was forced back into a corner by him, with nowhere left to retreat.

Gu Zeyu's body was like an impenetrable wall, trapping her firmly and making it impossible for her to escape.

His face was so close to hers that she only needed to close her eyes slightly to kiss his sexy, thin lips!

"Xiang Yiyi, I'll say it again, don't come near me again, don't!" Gu Zeyu gritted his teeth. "If you dare take another step closer, I'll make you wish you were dead!"

Suddenly, the scene of seeing Gu Zeyu kissing a woman in his office flashed into Xiang Yiyi's mind.

His hand caressed the woman; his expression, his movements—everything was so familiar.

Could it be that the woman is...?

A surge of overwhelming resentment welled up in Xiang Yiyi's heart. Her eyes widened as she stared fearlessly at Gu Zeyu, saying each word clearly, "Gu Zeyu, don't think of me as despicable as you! I won't go near you again, and I won't bother you anymore! But..."

She paused, then continued, "But remember, I will make you regret this!"

Her eyes were so resolute and angry that Gu Zeyu even saw a strong killing intent in them.

This startled Gu Zeyu.

She actually... she actually has such a strong side?

He suddenly became very interested in this woman; he wanted to see what kind of shock she would bring him!

Taking advantage of his momentary lapse in concentration, Xiang Yi shoved him aside, rushed into the elevator, quickly pressed the close button, and then pressed the floor number button.

The elevator slowly ascended in Gu Zeyu's sight.

As Gu Zeyu watched the elevator doors close, his brows furrowed even more, and his expression grew increasingly dangerous.

To Yi Yi!

You will definitely regret it!

Xiang Yi rushed to the top floor and immediately picked up her phone to dial Gu Zeyu's number.

but......

The phone is already switched off...

This damn bastard!

He not only left her in the elevator, but he also turned off his phone?!

"Miss Xiang, you've finally arrived... The CEO is waiting for you in the lounge..."

The assistant stood respectfully at the door and opened it for Xiang Yi.

Xiang Yi stormed in, only to bump into Gu Zeyu who was walking towards her.

He draped one arm over the doorframe next to her, leaning back.

"You..." Xiang Yi stared at him, her eyes wide. "What are you doing?"

She thought he was up to something again, so she took a few steps back and stared at him warily.

Gu Zeyu snorted coldly: "Xiang Yiyi, you'd better not provoke me! Otherwise, I guarantee you'll regret it!"

As he spoke, he turned to leave.

"Gu Zeyu!"

Xiang Yi hurriedly chased after him, shouting, "You're not allowed to leave!"

Gu Zeyu stopped and said coldly, "Xiang Yiyi, you'd better know what's good for you!"

Xiang Yi looked at him stubbornly: "Why should I stay away from you? Do you think you're so great? Let me tell you, you're just a bastard, not a god!"

Gu Zeyu's expression changed drastically. He narrowed his eyes and looked at her dangerously, a powerful pressure emanating from him.

A chill ran down Xiang Yi's spine.

She swallowed hard, mustered her courage, and stood tall, meeting his gaze: "Gu Zeyu, let me tell you, no matter who you are, don't even think about bullying me!"

Her attitude was very firm, but Gu Zeyu found it extremely amusing.

"Oh? Is that so?" He raised an eyebrow at her, a mocking smile playing on his lips.

Xiang Yi was taken aback.

What does he mean?

“Miss Xiang, do you know that your behavior just now was just like that of a child, a child who is spoiled by their parents but is unwilling to admit their mistakes because of their strong sense of pride…”

"Gu Zeyu, stop talking nonsense!" Xiang Yi interrupted him, her eyes filled with indignation. "I'm not that naive!"

"If it's not childish, then why are you so excited?" Gu Zeyu asked her with a smile, his smile so charming it was dizzying.

Xiang Yi's face flushed red. She glared fiercely at Gu Zeyu and gritted her teeth, saying, "Gu Zeyu, stop spouting nonsense!"

Gu Zeyu shrugged: "Your reaction is quite strong. Does that mean what I said is true?"

"You..." Xiang Yi was so angry that she was speechless.

He actually said she was a child who was spoiled by her parents?

Haha, Gu Zeyu, who do you think you are?!

"Gu Zeyu!" she roared, unable to contain herself any longer. "Don't forget, we're in a contractual relationship! You can't lay a hand on me!"

Upon hearing this, Gu Zeyu's lips curled into a cold smile: "Contractual marriage? Xiang Yiyi, what contractual marriage exists in this world? You're just trying to use this opportunity to climb into our family. Do you really think you're Mrs. Gu? Take a good look at yourself in the mirror; do you even deserve it!"

Xiang Yiyi's heart was suddenly pierced with pain.

She took a deep breath, fighting back tears: "Gu Zeyu, whether I'm Mrs. Gu or not, it has nothing to do with you! Please show some respect!"

"Respect?" Gu Zeyu's eyes darkened. He suddenly grabbed Xiang Yiyi's neck, his sinister voice piercing her ears, "You don't deserve it! I'll show you what respect truly means!"

"Cough cough cough..." Xiang Yi struggled desperately, but couldn't break free at all.

This man is incredibly strong, practically brute force!

She felt her throat becoming increasingly stuffy, painful, and numb...

"Cough cough cough... Let, let, let me go..."

She tried hard to speak in complete sentences, but only muffled "uh-uh" sounds came from her throat; she couldn't utter a proper sentence.

Xiang Yi gradually lost her strength.

Her breathing grew weaker and weaker, and her hands clung limply to the air.

Just then, Gu Zeyu released his grip, letting her fall to the ground.
