"Mr. Gu, I..."
"Have I not told you before, if I see you again, I won't let you leave?"
Gu Chen's words were gentle, yet they struck Gu Li like a heavy blow, buzzing in her mind.
She forced herself to calm down; perhaps he was just trying to scare her? She had been running away for so many years, and every time he caught her and brought her back, he only verbally warned her and never actually harmed her.
With this thought, Gu Li took a deep breath: "Mr. Gu, this joke isn't funny at all. If you didn't call me here for any significant reason, then I'll get back to work~"
Having said that, Gu Li stood up and attempted to walk out.
Unexpectedly, just a few steps away, a great force from behind pulled her back. Unprepared, her body did not stabilize and she crashed straight into a firm embrace.
Upon realizing whose embrace it was, Gu Li's first reaction was to flee, but the man's strength was overwhelming, and after struggling for a while, she couldn't break free.
