Chapter 120: The Boss Is Such A Liar (1)
SNICKERS! CHUCKLES!
The chef couldn’t help but laugh out loud. Once he realized he did that, he immediately turned around and made his escape!
The butler was more seasoned. He just pretended that he heard nothing after the “daddy” reference.
His look didn’t even change, but he immediately took off in the blink of an eye.
All of a sudden, only Gu Shishi, who had slipped up, and the boss, who was standing on the staircase with his stone-cold face, were the only two left in the living room.
Gu Shishi gulped.
That’s a misunderstanding…
It just rolled off her tongue!
She blamed it on spending too much time in the painting today and the brain damage that it had caused!
Daddy Huo?! What was she thinking?
Oh!
What should she do now?!
Huo Sishen turned and looked at her.
He saw her two slippered feet rubbing back and forth on the floor… her little face beet red, her snow-white chin almost touching her chest. She looked like she wanted to dig a hole in the ground and crawl inside.
There was a slight curve on his lips that even he barely noticed.
“Childish.”
“Inconceivable.”
He criticized her sternly with his deep, low voice.
Gu Shishi nodded like a chicken feeding.
Yes! Yes! Yes!
She was childish! All her fault!
She openly admitted to her own mistake!
Looking at her pitiful look, Huo Sishen was so angry that he busted out laughing.
As she was nodding, her long and smooth hair that was draped down behind her fell in front of her chest.
Her hair was black and shiny like top-grade silk. And the white dress with a round opening that she had on was almost indistinguishable from her skin…
White skin and black hair.
The two extreme colors created a very strong visual.
She looked up carefully and he could see her slightly flustered cheeks and her apricot-like lips that were a pink color all by itself…
Huo Sishen squinted.
Her pure white cotton and linen skirt with its flower buds pattern cutout extended to her knee cap. Her slender and petite calves were exposed. She was wearing pink and fuzzy slippers, and they made her ankles look even more delicate and petite…. They made one want to touch and… play with them…
He turned around abruptly the very next minute.
“No more running around the mansion! Go back inside your room!”
His voice was hoarse already.
He walked quickly up to the second floor and slammed his door shut before she could respond to him.
“……”
Gu Shishi, who was self-reflecting, was dumbfounded.
She looked to her left and then her right.
Wasn’t she just standing inside the living room?
Did she run around the mansion?
The boss was mad at her again? He had such bad temperament.
That temperament. Sheesh. He was even more irritable than her during that time of the month.
Pouting, she looked at the long and narrow box in her hand.
She hasn’t even had a chance to give this to him.
[Beep! Received Huo Sishen’s fondness!]
[Increase of male lead’s fondness! 70% to LV3.]
“Huh?”
Gu Shishi was truly shocked beyond words.
The boss was such a liar!
So the meaner he talked meant the happier he was?
She reached out and rubbed her own hair.
She knew he was a tsundere, but she didn’t know he was that much of a tsundere.
So what he really meant was for her to not stay cooped up in her room and wander out more frequently, particularly in front of him?
Aiya, lucky she had the system’s indication; otherwise she would have totally missed the boss’s true meaning.
“That’s what I meant by I don’t need any ad hoc assignments.”
Gu Shishi flipped through the system records.
The incident just now gained her 20% of experience!
Gu Shishi was on her way back to her room, but now she was going to stay outside happily.
She has made up her mind. She was going to squat in the living room!
Perhaps, when the boss saw her in the living room when he walked out of his room, there would be another increase in his fondness?
And, she could also give him his present then.
She didn’t mind the increase of fondness in succession!
Perhaps, the next time it’d move her straight to LV3!
Happy~
Gu Shishi sat down on the couch and started browsing through Taobao.
Homemade fan mounts were very popular.
She planned on getting some more raw materials. In addition to the folding fan, she could also add circular fan.

Silk fan mount plus different types of pendants and fringes. There would be unlimited combinations, very retro and popular among girls.
She had once gotten very into Han dynasty costumes and even made a few silk palace fans for her own collection and entertainment.
“I sure hope the qualities of these on Taobao are decent.”
She looked back and forth and carefully compared the reviews and pictures among several shops before she finally picked a decent one that offered Su’s style fans.
A blank, double-sided silk fan 300 yuan.
That wasn’t cheap, but art was never cheap.
She only felt painful for a little while before she added all sorts of fan mounts into her shopping cart.
Eight-leaf begonia, phoenix crown, flying fairy, crossed begonia, round waist style…. So on and so forth. She couldn’t pick and choose!
“Adults don’t pick and choose!”
She would take them all!
One of each!

She picked the fan mounts with double-sided silk to ensure their thickness, so that she would be able paint on both sides. She’d need to be more careful with the ink bleeding through to the other side and it’d take a bit longer to make, but the effect would be amazing. It’d be a sort of a foggy type of classiness.
Delighted by all the options, she was completely absorbed in the joy of shopping. She then happily picked a bunch of pendants to mix and match with the fan mounts.
It didn’t take long for her to blow through 3,000 – 4,000 yuan.
But, she has money now!
Five-digit saving at that! She has nothing to worry about!
