Chapter 10

Author: Egg Tart
"Gu Jiuci, you idiot! How could you carelessly give your family heirloom to someone else!"

Gu Jiuci angrily picked up her pillow and hit herself with it a few times. However, the scene of her being held in the devil's arms and their almost-kiss rose in her mind again.

She almost...

In her previous life, she had feared him like the plague. Yet, in this life, on her first day of rebirth, she had fallen in love with him?

A confused expression rose on Gu Jiuci's face. Although she had given her entire heart to Jiang Yutang in her previous life, she hadn't actually felt what it meant to be in love. Perhaps she was just bewitched by Jiang Yutang and it couldn't be called love...

No, what love? Huo Mingche was the most handsome man in the imperial capital; she was just enchanted by his appearance!

"No! Gu Jiuci! This is not the time to be distracted by a pretty face!"

Gu Jiuci clapped her hands on her face and forced herself to calm down.

"This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, so I have to treasure it. I must change my path, change everyone who loves me..."

Inside the Huo Family's study...

The man wore a dark shirt that blended in with the night. His aristocratic and coldly arrogant aura was like that of a vampire who had lived for thousands of years.

He leaned lazily against the leather chair as his eyes focused on the elegant necklace inside the jewelry case on the desk.

The blue gemstone shimmered under the light like the tears of a mermaid. It made one want to cherish it and admire its stunning beauty.

Just like Gu Jiuci...

At this moment, a video call came through on the computer in front of him.

"Master, Miss Gu has arrived home safely. We will continue our 24-hour surveillance!" Zhan Ying, his assistant, respectfully said through the video call.

But secretly, he was cursing Gu Jiuci. "What is so good about that kid? In my opinion, she's not worthy of our master.

"Who knows what spell she had put on him to make him want only her?

"Even worse, the girl cast aside my master, the best man in the world, and instead gave her affection to that wastrel Jiang Yutang!"

"Master, rest assured, I will help you keep a close eye on Miss Gu. I won't let her do anything that betrays you!"

Zhan Ying solemnly swore.

"No need."

Huo Mingche lightly pursed his lips.

"What? Are you serious? Even though Miss Gu behaved well at the dinner tonight, who knows what sinister trick she's trying to pull?!

"You can't trust her again! Giving her freedom is indulging her..." Zhan Ying argued, in a panic.

Suddenly, through the screen, he felt the man's very dangerous gaze and cold murderous intent.

Fear stopped him completely and he quickly replied, "Yes, sir!"

When he once again raised his pale face, the screen was pitch black. Zhan Ying let out a breath and, for some reason, felt a joy akin to being reborn.

...

Early the next day...

Sunlight filtered through the half-transparent curtain and landed gently on the bed, kissing the girl who had the face of an angel.

However, the girl furrowed her brows tightly. Her face was pale and her expression was pained and twisted.

"Ah!"

Gu Jiuci woke up abruptly from a nightmare. She clutched the bedsheets tightly and stared at the ceiling for a long time before she could control the trembling of her body and return to her senses.

In the dream, she was still in the hot and damp prison cell. A rancid, rank scent mingled in the air, and she was slowly decaying like a corpse.

Rubbing her temples, she walked into the bathroom. She turned on the water and washed her face vigorously before feeling slightly more awake.

After a long time, she slowly raised her head and stared at herself in the mirror.

The person in the mirror was not a female prisoner with a heavy aura of death. Instead, it was a vibrant and beautiful young woman.

"Gu Jiuci, you've been reborn. You will have a good life!"

"Ah Ci! Are you awake? If you don't get up now, you're going to be late!"

Her second brother's voice rang out from outside her door.

Gu Jiuci hurriedly replied, "I'm up. I'll be ready in a moment!"

Right now, she was only 18 and was still a high school student.

That year, her entire mind had been occupied with pursing Jiang Yutang, so her grades... were a mess!

"Ah... Let's first save my grades, a situation not easily explained..."

Gu Jiuci sighed and quickly cleaned up before walking out of her room and down the stairs.

At the dining table, only her eldest brother and second brother were still eating.

Gu Jiuci faintly remembered that her father, Gu Qingyuan, had a regular pattern of work and rest and that her brothers were also very busy. The only time the entire family could get together was every day at breakfast.

But in her past life, she had always woken up late and practically never ate breakfast with the family.

On the contrary, it was Su Furong and Xu Yun'er who were certain to appear at the dining table each morning to eat with Gu Qingyuan. Gradually, they seemed like a family of three.

At this time of day, Gu Jiuci had already risen late. Gu Qingyuan had already eaten and gone to the company. As for Su Furong and Xu Yun'er, each morning they would do yoga.

"To keep their beauty, the mother and daughter work very hard and have very strict self-discipline...

"Yet, Xu Yun'er always encourages living a happy life in front of me.

"Saying something about how a person only lives once, so eat what you want and do what you want.

"Thinking about it now, what bullshit!"

Gu Jiuci took a deep breath and walked downstairs.

Hearing the footsteps, the two brothers at the table turned their heads in unison, and their faces were immediately filled with surprise.

Gu Qijue even blinked his eyes furiously.

On the stairs on the second floor was a young woman wearing a white summer dress with straight ink-black hair whose each move carried a lazy aristocratic air and resembled an angel who just awoke in heaven. "Is this truly my sister, Gu Jiuci?"

Gu Qian did not appear as shocked as his brother. Surprise flashed through his eyes followed by a look of relief.

"Ah Ci, the food is getting cold. Come quickly."

Her second brother, Gu Qijue, called her repeatedly.

"I'm coming!"

Gu Jiuci smiled slightly and quickly walked over to sit down. The appetite-ruining mother and daughter were not here, so her mood was very good.

"Eat lots of shrimp to replenish your protein."

Her second brother immediately placed a peeled South American shrimp on her plate.

"Drink lots of milk to grow taller."

Before she had time to express her thanks, a cup of warm milk was pushed in front of her.

Gu Jiuci's gaze followed the slender fingers upward and saw that her big brother, Gu Qian, was looking at her warmly, as he always did.

Her big brother was a talented young man, almost on par with Huo Mingche. He was also a Prince Charming that the women of the imperial after chased relentlessly after.

He was supposed to inherit the Gu Family. His future was assured, but...

The image of Gu Qian's deathly pale face coughing up blood at his work desk rose in Gu Jiuci's mind.

In her last life, she had listened to Jiang Yutang's words and used the Gu Family's public funds to fill Jiang Yutang's financial black hole. Not only had her big brother not investigated this matter, but he had also worked hard to smooth things over for her. In the end, he worked too hard and got stomach cancer. Before 30, he had already...

"Ah Ci, why are you crying?"

Her big brother waved his hand in front of her face and stared at her worriedly.

"It's nothing. I just yawned, that's all. Brother, you should also drink milk. In the future, no matter how busy you are, you have to eat on time. Have you had a check-up recently?" Gu Jiuci asked in a very serious tone as she immediately poured a glass of milk for him.

"Check-up? The company does an annual check-up. I'm very healthy."

Gu Qian raised his brows in surprise, but out of habit, answered every question asked by his sister.

"Ah Ci, why don't you show some concern for your second brother?" Gu Qijue said with jealousy as he placed another peeled shrimp onto her plate.

"You have always been very healthy. There's no problem..."

Gu Jiuci casually patted her second brother's shoulder, but her expression gradually darkened.

Her second brother was very healthy, but in her last life, he had killed for her and ended up as a criminal on death row...

In this life, she would not allow these tragedies to happen again!

    "Ring, ring, ring!"The alarm on her phone began to ring. If she didn't leave now, she would be late.Gu Jiuci hurriedly chewed and swallowed."Second Brother, I'm going to be late. Drive me to school, OK?""No problem. Eat slowly."Her second brother, Gu Qijue, picked up some napkins from the table and gave them to her.

    Gu Jiuci vaguely remembered that Lu Xiaosang was the only person to have gotten into S-Elite High School on the merits of her grades. Her parents were cleaners, and their family was very poor. However, she worked hard, and with excellent grades, got into Shanghai University of Film's screenwriting class. In the end, she became a famous screenwriter at just 20 years old.Gu Jiuci also knew the group of people causing Lu Xiaosang difficulties. Their leader was called Huang Lili. Relying on her family's wealth, she was a tyrant at school. Because her grades were poor, she didn't like people like Lu Xiaosang who had gotten in with their grades, so she often bullied Lu Xiaosang."What? You dare to argue with me? Lu Xiaosang, you've become brave!"Huang Lili's expression grew cold, and with a wave of her hand, she overturned Lu Xiaosang's lunch tray. Two white buns immediately fell to the floor."My buns!"Lu Xiaosang's tears poured down in a rush. She immediately bent down to pick up h

    "Mr. Zhan, may I ask why Brother Che is looking for me?" Gu Jiuci asked, going against her instincts.Zhan Ying let out a cold and disdainful huff."Are you not aware of something you have done that could have disappointed the master?"Gu Jiuci paused. "Something that disappointed Huo Mingche?"Have I done something? After I was reborn, I haven't done anything stupid, right?"In a flash, the image of Jiang Yutang cornering her this afternoon rose in Gu Jiuci's mind.At this moment, Zhan Ying opened the back door of the car and chided her in a cold voice."Miss Gu, our master's patience is limited!"Gu Jiuci's heart jumped and she forced herself to duck into the car. As expected, the devil was indeed inside.The man didn't even glance at her. A terrifying tempest lay beneath the cold and handsome face. The devastatingly low air pressure and murderous aura practically froze Gu Jiuci into a block of ice.She very much wanted to explain something, but she also didn't know where t

    "Do you finally trust me now?"Gu Jiuci let out a breath and blinked her big, watery eyes at Huo Mingche with a "look, I really am innocent" expression on her face."Yes."Huo Mingche acknowledged her lightly, but his body remained on top of her with no indication that he intended to move off.However, the bloodthirsty aura from a moment ago had completely disappeared. At this moment, the dusky light of the late afternoon filtered through the window and landed on the large bed. The illumination of the two bodies actually gave the sense of two lovers cuddling in a movie."Xiao Jiu'er, don't lie to me. You know the consequences of that..."The man buried his head in Gu Jiuci's shoulder. Hot breaths brushed across her sensitive skin as he warned her in a low voice.Gu Jiuci didn't even dare to take a deep breath. Like prey pinned by a predator, she didn't dare to move an inch.In her last life, she had already learned the consequences.After a while, the sound of Huo Mingche's sl

    Standing outside the front gates of the Phoenix Lodge, Xu Yun'er, who had been stopped by cold-faced security guards, held her phone in a death grip and was gnashing her teeth in fury!"This idiot, Gu Jiuci. Why is she always so lucky?!"She had clearly seen Huo Mingche head angrily toward the school to take her away!Why had an entire night gone by yet nothing had happened?Which part had she miscalculated?"Young lady, go away. Don't stand here. If you don't leave, we'll have to take action!"At this moment, the black-clothed security guard in the guardroom to the side came out again to chase her away."I'm leaving now."Xu Yun'er hurriedly stood on her toes and glanced at the Phoenix Lodge again.The extravagant sight blinded her completely. She clenched her fists tightly and silently made a vow."Just wait. I will eventually be the mistress here!"Inside the master bedroom...After hanging up Xu Yun'er's call, Gu Jiuci was in a wonderful mood.She stretched and looked

    At 8 a.m., the Rolls-Royce Phantom stopped at the front entrance of S-Elite High School. The moment the car door opened, Gu Jiuci climbed out hurriedly. And just as her other foot cleared the door, she suddenly doubled back.With a smile, she stared at Huo Mingche."What's wrong?"Huo Mingche watched her calmly. His pretty eyes flashed with confusion."Give me your cell phone."Gu Jiuci stretched her hand toward Huo Mingche and he trustingly handed his phone to her.The girl accepted the phone and found that it was password protected. She tried entering her own birthday and, as expected, it immediately unlocked."I'll change my phone password to your birthday later."Gu Jiuci paused then dialed in her new number as she continued her muttering. Straightforwardly and without shame, she added her name as "the super-cute baby of my heart Xiao Jiu'er" before she handed the phone back to Huo Mingche."I will put your number as the first person in my contacts. In the future, if there

    Although it was a grade-wide major exam, only language, mathematics, and English were tested. Furthermore, the school produced an entire set of exams, so the exam only took one morning.At noon, Gu Jiuci lay dizzily on her desk to rest. It was not because her mind was tired, but because her hand was sore...She had wanted to rest a little during lunch, but some people annoyed others to feel alive."Jiuci!"Once again, Xu Yun'er came to her classroom like a ghost haunting her. Seeing her lying on the table, she immediately put on a concerned expression and asked, "Are you all right? Are you feeling unwell? I knew that the devil must have bullied you yesterday!"Jiuci, if something is the matter, don't hold it in. You'll feel better if you talk to me about it."Xu Yun'er appeared outwardly sympathetic, but inside she was feeling very smug. It seemed that Gu Jiuci had been beaten heavily by Huo Mingche last night! She was eager to find out what had happened.Gu Jiuci mentally rolle

    "Zhan Ying will come to pick you up and bring you to the company.""Am I having lunch with you?"Gu Jiuci's eyes lit up as she questioned him.Standing nearby, Zhan Ying could hear their conversation and he couldn't help wildly ridiculing her in his mind."The quarterly meeting usually runs for an entire day. Each time, the senior management would take only 10 minutes to have some snacks before continuing the meeting. How could the master put down such an important meeting to have lunch with a little girl like you...?" "Okay.""Zhan Ying, go pick up the mistress. Everyone else, the meeting will conclude in 10 minutes."The chairman hung up the call and issued these instructions as he turned around.Zhan Ying was speechless.He suddenly felt that fate had slapped him hard across the face and then asked him, "Does your face hurt?""Yes, sir!" Zhan Ying replied sullenly.He turned and walked out of the meeting room, leaving behind the group of senior management petrified on th

    The arrow was on the bowstring. Even if Gu Jiuci wanted to regret it, it was too late.The temperature in the room rose exponentially. Apart from holding him tightly, her mind was blank and she could not make any other movements.From time to time, the man would bury himself in her neck. His hot breath was like her poison.She pressed her hand against his chest, and her heart beat faster and faster, making her feel more and more hot all over.Suddenly, the man held her hand over his head and slowly clasped her fingers.The kiss was intense, fierce, gentle, and decisive. This time, he was fiercer than ever, and it gradually worn down her nervousness. This world was a piece of ice, and I wanted to hide in your body."Dear, call me honey."The man's deep, wine-like voice suddenly rang out in her ears, instantly numbing every cell in her body like an electric current. After passing through all of her nerves, Gu Jiuci subconsciously curled up. However, the man's deep eyes were fixed

    The car slowly drove to the door of the Phoenix Lodge. The window rolled down and a slightly cold evening breeze blew into the car. Gu Jiuci shivered subconsciously and she instantly became much more awake.Only then did she realize that she was clinging to the devil like an octopus. Her face immediately turned red and she wanted to get off him. Unexpectedly, the next second, she was carried off the car in the posture of a child by the devil."Are you shy now? Isn't it too late?"The man's voice rose teasingly. Gu Jiuci's face turned red. She lowered her head in embarrassment and buried herself in the devil's embrace.The moonlight was charming. She glanced at it from the corner of her eye and found that the road was covered with red rose petals. He hugged her as if he was walking in a flower sea. The wind was full of the fragrance of roses, and the atmosphere was so good that it made people feel a little ethereal.The devil had been holding her, passing through the garden, and th

    "Our master has transferred all his assets to Young Madam. Now, the Huo Group is Young Madam’s, and he also belongs to Young Madam!"Because Zhan Ying was near, his voice went through the microphone and magnified in the entire stadium. Everyone heard this sentence.This time, the entire audience exclaimed in admiration. Not only were the female audience present, even the male audience wanted to see through Gu Jiuci."Alas, they're making me envious. I'm dying to be the bride!"Doctor Yi Deng made a joke and said."Since we've solved the big issue of our lives, please let our bride pass our beautiful wishes down!"At this moment, Huo Mingche smiled and handed the bouquet to Gu Jiuci."Ask our bride to turn around and ask our best men and women to stand in two rows. The Gu family's two single brothers-in-law, yes, you two are alone. Don't be embarrassed, stand up quickly!"Gu Jiuci turned around obediently with the bouquet of flowers in her arms. The devil next to her carefully t

    The atmosphere in the room was ignited by this sentence in an instant. Everyone came to their senses and began to pat rhythmically while shouting wildly."Kiss! Kiss! Kiss!""A French deep kiss!""Kiss your new mother to faint!"In a certain area, the group known as the Jiu Che Army seemed to be exceptionally excited. It was as if their throats had been torn open.A spotlight was gently shining on the two people, and the close-range camera of the two people was playing on the big screen, which was extremely clear.Under everyone's encouragement, Gu Jiuci's heart pounded wildly. Even the air felt a little thin. At this moment, it felt as long as a century."Don't move."The man's lips curled slightly and he spoke with a muffled laugh. His deep and magnetic voice was filled with deep Gu Jiuci unconsciously listened to him and only looked at him stupidly.Soon, the veil in front of her was gently pulled up by him, revealing delicate makeup and a pair of attractive eyes.Huo Ming

    "You won't have the chance."Huo Mingche didn't even look at Gu Qijue. His affectionate gaze fell on Gu Jiuci's face and he answered decisively."Very beautiful."Through the veil, Huo Mingche suppressed his impulse and heartbeat and opened his mouth slightly.It was rare for Gu Jiuci to blush because of these two words. She lowered her head shyly.She held his arm and turned around side by side with him. In the face of the marriage certificate, it was easy to climb. The entire 3D projection of the whole church was projected. The white pigeon gently flew past, and the singing of the poem class was faint. The scene was solemn and holy, and everyone was serious."Gu Jiuci, are you willing to marry Huo Mingche and become his wife? From then on, regardless of whether it's a favorable situation, wealth, poverty, illness, or health, you'll spend all of your days together until you’re old?"Dr. Yi Deng looked at Gu Jiuci gently and kindly as he asked. As soon as he finished speaking, G

    "Okay."Gu Jiuci took a deep look at Dr. Yi Deng and allowed Si Chen and Ji Weiran to put the bride's veil on her head. Finally, she thought about it and still hung her blue tears around her neck.The blue tear was the same as before. It was always shining secretly, which made her skin more and more snow-white. At this moment, she was wearing a wedding dress, which showed a little bit of a fairy who was out of the mortal world."Ci, are you ready?"Second Brother looked at her face seriously and asked two questions. He was asking her if she was ready for the wedding, and also asking her if she had married Huo Mingche."Of course."Gu Jiuci nodded with certainty across her veil. Of course, she was prepared. She had already prepared for this moment for too long.In the stadium.Tens of thousands of people in the outer field were ready. Two huge screens hung in the air on the left and right, showing the situation of the wedding in real time.More than a dozen drones carried camer

    "Although it sounds incredible, I have a sense of security when wearing it. I always feel that it can protect me."Gu Jiuci's eyes were firm. Today was her wedding day, and she absolutely would not allow any accidents to happen."I see."Yi Deng's eyes flashed, and then he stared at the sachet meaningfully."Then open the sachet and have a look.""Open it?"Gu Jiuci was slightly stunned. She had never thought of opening this sachet.Gu Jiuci didn't know if it was because Dr. Yi Deng's words were too firm or for some reason, but she was suddenly a little curious about what was inside the sachet.She carefully opened the thread that was tightly tied to her and slowly pulled open the sachet. Gradually, the contents of the sachet were revealed, and Gu Jiuci's pupils dilated in an instant."How... how is this possible?""What's wrong? Ci, what's inside?"Jiao curiously leaned over and reached out to take out the thing inside. The blue crystal was like a teardrop, but with a parti

    Gu Jiuci had guessed that the devil would prepare a grand wedding for her, but she had never expected it to be this grand.The ceremony was so grand that even a stadium couldn't afford it and a branch meeting was held. The entire China's media and even foreign media were invited to the scene.It turned out that after the announcement of the wedding, the invitation cards were divided into two types. One was the invitation cards of relatives and friends, and the other was the invitations sent by the Internet. All those who wished for their marriage could come to the scene and witness their love as long as they applied on the official website of the Huo Group.In the end, the number of online applications exceeded 50,000. Huo Mingche was determined to let the whole world know that they were together, and no one could separate them.Gu Jiuci had reason to believe that if their bodies were a little better, the wedding would probably be a vacation concert...Have you ever seen someone g

    The man stared at her intently and responded in a low voice.However, five minutes, ten minutes, fifteen minutes passed.Huo Mingche still didn't close his eyes. Gu Jiuci looked at him strangely."Why aren't you sleeping yet?""Xiao Jiu'er, is this a dream?"That person, who had always been so smart, had a pair of eyes that could almost see through anyone. At this moment, there was a trace of disbelief and confusion in his eyes.He didn't dare to believe such a beautiful thing.Gu Jiuci stared at her face and a strong sense of sorrow welled up in her heart. She stretched out her hand and hugged his waist tightly."Brother Che, this isn't a dream. We're really together. We're finally together.""Yes."The man nodded slightly, but he was still reluctant to close his eyes."Beep! Beep! Beep!"The window was knocked impatiently.
