The Delicate Darling with Her Rough Man novel Chapter 1

Chapter 1: Chapter 1: Worse Than a Beast

The night was exceptionally grim.

The room was stifling.

A pair of large, calloused hands landed on her fair, delicate skin.

’Beast!’

Gu Jiaojiao’s face flushed crimson with rage, and she immediately went to slap him.

THUD!!!

Before her slap could land, she was shoved off the bed, crashing hard onto the floor.

"???"

Before she could even react, a voice ground out from above her, dripping with contempt: "Gu Jiaojiao, you’re utterly shameless. Don’t think I’ll want you just because you stripped naked and climbed into my bed."

"Dream on."

?!

’Does this man have a persecution complex? I’m Gu Jiaojiao. My family is top-tier, my background is impeccable, and I’m gorgeous. The line of men trying to date me could circle Beijing eighteen times over. Do I really need to throw myself at a man???’

It was because her standards were so high that Gu Jiaojiao, now in her twenties, had never even had a boyfriend. This had become her wealthy parents’ single greatest worry.

To find her a man, they’d resort to any means necessary.

’This must be my parents’ latest scheme.’

With that thought, Gu Jiaojiao calmed down.

She scrambled up from the floor and lifted her chin, her face a mask of pure arrogance.

"I know you’re doing all this to get my attention, but this will only make me hate you more."

"Heh..." The man let out a humorless laugh. This woman stuck to him like glue day in and day out. She’d even drugged his drink to get him, and now she had the gall to play the victim!

Gu Jiaojiao’s shamelessness infuriated him.

He didn’t waste any more energy on it, though. He just pointed to the door. "Get out."

The man had a temper, but so did Gu Jiaojiao. She snatched her jacket off the floor, her eyes narrowing as she glared toward the bed. With a sneer, she said, "You don’t have to tell me. I’m leaving."

She was eager to find Mr. and Mrs. Gu and give them a piece of her mind.

’In the past, their arrangements were at least a "chance encounter" at a café or on the street. The most they ever pulled was a clichéd hero-saves-the-damsel scene. But setting someone up in my bed? This was going way too far!’

She had just put on her jacket when a wave of heat surged through her. She staggered, most of her strength suddenly gone.

’I... I’m so hot.’

’My mouth is so dry. I need some ice water.’
