Chapter 178 - 178 178 The Jewelry Counter

178: Chapter 178: The Jewelry Counter 178: Chapter 178: The Jewelry Counter After painstakingly concealing her presence, Gu Lanzi had not yet settled when Lin Fei’s cold voice interrogated her.

Lin Fei had only cared about monitoring the situation inside the shopping mall before and hadn’t really paid attention,

but now that Gu Lanzi pointed it out face to face, Lin Fei truly felt a hint of regret.

Of course,

it was such a waste.

Had he sensed it earlier, Lin Fei would have moved his fingers no matter what.

“What if I said I didn’t do it on purpose, can I let go of your hand then?”

“You can try!”

Within the cramped space, Gu Lanzi’s charming and seductive phoenix eyes fixated on Lin Fei.

Had the circumstances allowed, she would have spared no effort in fighting him to the death.

In fact, Gu Lanzi was not an unreasonable person, after all, the incident happened suddenly, and Lin Fei had acted to save her.

Gu Lanzi had already decided that, if Lin Fei removed his hand immediately, then in consideration of him having saved her life before, she wouldn’t pursue the matter further afterward.

However, it was clear that Gu Lanzi had underestimated the thickness of Lin Fei’s face.

Silence, a deadly stillness!

Anger, an ultimate fury!

Gu Lanzi could not remember how long it had been since someone dared to take such liberties with her.

It seemed since her memory began, no man had dared to insult her like this.

“You—”

Gu Lanzi, who had finally managed to calm herself down, was thinking about giving Lin Fei a lesson, “so he understood the unforgivable sin he had committed.”

However, Lin Fei did not give her that chance.

More precisely, they did not give her that chance.

Bang!

The jewelry counter where Lin Fei and Gu Lanzi were hiding was smashed to pieces.

Crash!

The jewels inside the counter poured into the black cloth bags by the handful.

Perhaps focused on looting the jewels from the counter, or maybe due to overconfidence in their control over the situation, the armed robber raiding the jewelry section had not noticed Lin Fei and Gu Lanzi hiding under the counter.

But that was enough to keep Gu Lanzi silent.

The armed robber coming to loot the jewelry counter clearly reminded Gu Lanzi of the predicament she was in.

At the same time, it made her realize that, had it not been for Lin Fei, she wouldn’t be hiding so securely at this moment.

Had she not been shot by a stray bullet, she would have definitely been taken hostage.

The laws of nature dictate that females, when confronted with danger, will subconsciously gravitate towards males if they are present – it is instinctual.

Even Gu Lanzi herself was a bit confused about her feelings.

Just moments ago, she hated this man to the bone and had secretly vowed that, once out of this situation, she would make Lin Fei pay dearly.

But being so close in his embrace, Gu Lanzi could not remain entirely unaware.

It’s said that women are like wolves at thirty and tigers at forty.

Women in this age group tend to be even more sensitive to the matters between men and women than males.

Gu Fanghua, for many years, because of work, hadn’t had the time to contemplate such matters and hadn’t felt much otherwise.

But now

Gu Fanghua’s long-dormant feminine emotions seemed to be awakening.

In those moist, yet deep beautiful eyes of Gu Fanghua, there was now a trace of mistiness and softness,

“Hu—”

When the heart stirs, the will follows; when the will acts, the body moves.

Lin Fei had started to make his move.

Some things, once they begin, are like a flood breaking through the dike, spiraling beyond control.
