Chapter 2677 - 2692: One Thought to Heaven, One Thought to Hell 2

Her hair, though she wished the moment wouldn’t end, was also dried. Her black long locks, as beautiful as the finest silk, were flawless, just like the girl herself.

"Thank you." Gu Qingxin thanked him, turning to see his absent-minded expression, and said, "You should dry your hair too."

Ye Qi snapped back to reality, awkwardly flicking on the hairdryer to dry his hair.

The doorbell rang, and Ye Qi put down the hairdryer to answer it. The attendant outside was holding a beautiful gown and a pair of lovely high-heeled shoes.

Ye Qi took them and shut the door.

When he placed the dress in front of Gu Qingxin, she suddenly lifted her head. "Are you really asking me to accompany you to this banquet?"

Ye Qi knelt in front of her and suddenly grabbed her hand.

Gu Qingxin’s breath caught, and she immediately tried to pull away, as Ye Qi said, "Don’t think too highly of me... I’m no longer the Ye Qi from five years ago. Now, I have power and capability, and—I love you deeply!"

For the past five years, it was as though he wasn’t just battling another person, but himself. He was someone standing on the edge of a cliff, one thought leading to paradise, another to hell.

"What... what are you talking about?" Gu Qingxin forcefully retracted her hand, unable to believe that Ye Qi would say something like this to her today.

"Go change your clothes; you have no choice!" Ye Qi’s lips curved devilishly as he sat down on the sofa, looking up at her intently.

Gu Qingxin looked at the man in front of her, who seemed like a different person, her hands clenching into fists.

"What if I say no?" Gu Qingxin frowned.

"I don’t mind helping you change." Ye Qi stood up to get the dress.

"..."

Gu Qingxin quickly took the clothes and shoes from him, turning towards the bedroom without looking back.

Before closing the door, she locked it, breathing a sigh of relief, feeling a bit tense facing this Ye Qi.

Gu Qingxin walked to the edge of the bed and tossed the items onto it. The Ye Qi outside was indeed Ye Qi, but he wasn’t quite the same as the one from five years ago.

Maybe he’s right...

Gu Qingxin really wanted to ask loudly where the adorable, shy Ye Qi from before was, and if he could bring him back?

No matter what, the priority was to leave here, and since Ye Qi wouldn’t let her go, the best choice was to attend the charity banquet with him and then find an opportunity to escape.

With that plan in mind, Gu Qingxin cheerfully changed into the clothes. However, upon seeing herself in the mirror, she felt a bit down. Although the front of the dress didn’t show much, the back exposed her entire beautiful back, down to the top of her hips, fully revealing her lovely, sexy waistline.

...

The charity banquet was held in the largest banquet hall on the floor where Gu Qingxin stayed.

This hall had both indoor and outdoor areas, and a large pool. Tables covered with white cloth were adorned with flowers and candlesticks, and the exquisite little pastries were a visual delight.

Guests were already arriving one after another. Every woman was elegantly dressed, donning expensive jewelry. A few gathered to chat gracefully, though there were veiled boasts.

Even so, everyone maintained perfect smiles, without a single slip of composure...
