Chapter 270: “I feel that, we make a good couple together.” (1)
When they returned to the mansion, Gu Shishi got out of the car, turned around, and saw that the man sitting inside of the car had already returned to his usual, cool self.
The smile in the car seemed to just have been her imagination.
“Young Master, Miss Gu.”
Butler Lin was waiting for them outside.
Gu Shishi nodded slightly and walked inside of the mansion.
He didn’t talk to anyone but his walked onto the stairs with in slender, long legs.
Gu Shishi pursed her lips. Was he still in a bad mood?
And she had spent so much time wooing him in the car.
She even had to pull out her big ball-gambling move that she had saved for days.
It was her backup move to woo this overly sensitive man should any misfortune happened to Huo ChuChu or herself when they were around him.
And that, too, had failed?
Gu Shishi puffed up her cheeks.
She thought about it long and hard and felt that it was a very good idea. Was that still not able to cancel out the effect from Luo Pingting?
That was… so demoralizing.
While she was deep in thought, she reflexively looked on the ground.
She felt like a child who went home happily looking forward to compliments from her family after scoring 100 points on a test only to found out that nobody cared about it at all and it was all for naught.
Huo Sishen turned back around after taking two steps on the stairs.
And that was the expression that he saw…
She looked distressed and feeling unjust like a child who failed to get candies.
Her delicate red lips sticking out and her butterfly-like eyelashes fluttered and casted a shadow on her fair skin.
Huo Sishen’s lips curved reflexively.
He just wanted to go change first to get rid of the stinking perfume smell before he came back downstairs to talk to her.
She was following him like his tail and was do distressed when he just let her alone for a little while.
He lifted his hand slightly and frowned.
The smell of Luo Pingting on him reeked!
“Go wait in the dining room.”
Siyi had the butler prepared for lunch while they were on their way.
“I’ll be down in a bit.”
Gu Shishi blinked.
She was still counting the tiles on the floor and trying to figure out what else she could do if none of the 1,000 lotteries ticket won anything.
While she was wrecking her brain trying to come up with ideas, she suddenly heard a melodious sound.
[Beep! Fondness from Huo Sishen increased!]
Then she heard the man’s hoarse voice.
She looked up and noticed that in his profound black eyes and peculiar look, there seemed to have a hidden hint of a smile.
Gu Shishi, “?”
The boss was smiling!
What was that look?
Was he laughing at her?
“Oh.”
She put her hand over her little heart whose beats had just picked up a notch. Looking at the back of the man who had now turned around, she let out a large sigh of relief.
Not too long after she had docilely gone inside of the dining room, a sneak silhouette appeared by the entrance.
“Siyi?”
“Miss Gu.”
Siyi gave her an awkward smile and pointed at her cellphone.
That was when Gu Shishi looked down at it.
She had two unread messages.
[Siyi: The boss hadn’t eaten anything during lunch.]
[Siyi: Baiweijuis part of the boss’s properties. That server who screwed up…. you get it.]
Two simple sentences and all of her negative emotions were nowhere to be found. All of her unhappiness from today was wiped clean!
So the incident was arranged by the boss?
He intentionally wanted Luo Pingting to be afraid? Because he knew that she and her didn’t get along?
He was revenging for her?!
Gu Shishi felt her head growing in size all of again.
No! Better watch that ego of hers!
Seeing that Miss Gu had a difficult time hiding the happiness on her, Siyi quickly put his cellphone away and ran off.
Boss, I’ve done all I could to help.
Hmm. He needed to tell this fresh-off-the-press story to Sier right away!
