Chapter 594: I also miss your little bell

Third update

Shi Zhongyu ignored Ding Dang's dejected expression.

Seeing that she was unreliable,

he turned his gaze to Gu Hanyuan, who was watching the show on the side.

He begged:

"Young Master Gu! Hero Gu! I beg you to spare this lowly one. No matter what condition, I can agree to it!"

Gu Hanyuan's eyes flickered.

He asked playfully:

"Oh? Really, any condition?"

Once Shi Zhongyu saw there was a chance,

his eyes lit up.

He said fawningly:

"As long as Young Master Gu is willing to let me go, I can agree to any condition."

Gu Hanyuan reached out and pulled the still-grieving Ding Dang into his arms.

He stroked her waist,

and laughed teasingly:

"Even like this?"

Ding Dang never expected such a development.

Her jade-like face flushed red.

She scolded in a low, shy, and angry voice:

"Brother Gu, what are you doing?"

Gu Hanyuan did not respond to Ding Dang.

He watched Shi Zhongyu's expression change several times:

from shock to anger, then to realization, then to self-mockery, and finally to fawning.

It was comparable to the art of face-changing.

He thought to himself:

"Since Ding Dang has never been willing to be intimate with him anyway, it's better to trade it for freedom and a chance to live."

He immediately said fawningly and obsequiously:

"So Young Master Gu likes Ding Dang? No problem, as long as Young Master Gu is willing to let me out, Ding Dang is yours."

Ding Dang exclaimed in disbelief:

"Brother Tian!"

A thought Gu Hanyuan had once said suddenly flashed through her mind:

"This Shi Zhongyu can disregard your safety today, he can disregard your purity tomorrow, and he can disregard your life the day after. Even so, you still like him?"

Ding Dang thought self-mockingly:

"So now is the time to sacrifice her purity, is it?"

The person she had always liked was truly this kind of person.

Gu Hanyuan said contemptuously:

"Truly, those who know the times are heroes. Since you are so generous with your gift, I will accept it without being polite."

The smile on Shi Zhongyu's face became even brighter:

"No need to be polite, Young Master Gu, feel free to use her, it doesn't matter. As long as Young Master Gu is willing to let me out."

His words treated Ding Dang almost like an object that could be discarded at will.

It was evident that this person was truly cowardly and lacked responsibility to the extreme.

Gu Hanyuan looked at the sorrowful Ding Dang.

There was not a hint of his previous teasing.

He asked with a mix of seriousness and gentleness:

"Ding Dang, you heard it too. Do you still want to save your Brother Tian?"

Ding Dang looked at Gu Hanyuan's gentle, worried eyes.

Suddenly, she wasn't so sad anymore.

Looking at the bottomless Shi Zhongyu, she said faintly:

"Save!"

Even though the voice lacked inflection,

it carried a fierce, icy chill.

Shi Zhongyu couldn't help but shiver involuntarily.

Gu Hanyuan's next sentence caused Shi Zhongyu's heart to plummet to the bottom.

"Ding Dang, once you have paid the reward, you can take Shi Zhongyu away, how about that?"

A flash of emotion crossed Ding Dang's bright eyes.

She smiled beautifully and said:

"Thank you, Brother Gu."

As she spoke, she took the initiative to peck Gu Hanyuan's cheek.

Shi Zhongyu was horrified upon hearing this.

He begged in terror:

"No! Young Master Gu, don't hand me over to Ding Dang!"

Gu Hanyuan said with a cold, mocking expression:

"Heh, you don't have the qualifications to make demands."

Having said that, he ignored his wailing and howling,

and left the dungeon with Ding Dang.

Returning to Gu Hanyuan's guest room,

Gu Hanyuan gently stroked the hair on top of Ding Dang's head.

He said warmly:

"Seeing you silent and reticent along the way, are you unwilling? If you are unwilling, it doesn't matter. I don't like to force others. You can still take Shi Zhongyu away."

Ding Dang lay in Gu Hanyuan's arms.
