Gu Jiuci smiled a little and pulled Si Chen as they headed into the park."Chenchen, don't pay her any mind. Let's go!""Hey, Gu Jiuci. Make clear what you're saying!"Ji Weiran jumped up and down in anger. Just as she was about to charge forward, Shen Jianxing pulled her in by her waist and stuck an ice cream cone in front of her face."Strawberry flavored."Ji Weiran's attention was immediately caught by the ice cream cone and she smiled sweetly at Shen Jianxing."Thank you, my dear."Shen Jianxing reached out and patted his girlfriend's head with a deep tenderness in his eyes."Hey, hey, hey, this singleton is about to fall over in jealousy. Chenchen, what about you?"Gu Jiuci's arms were crossed over her chest and she wore a disdainful expression, but secretly she was jealous."This is what a normal couple should look like.""I... I think I am a little jealous."Si Chen spoke thoughtfully. For some reason, when she saw Ji Weiran and Shen Jianxing interact, she would alw
Pressure spread throughout the office. The man wore a pure black shirt and darkness emanated from him. His gaze landed on his phone on the desk. The phone was very silent, with no sign that a message was incoming.Zhan Ying sighed. Today was another harrowing day.He lowered his head and peeked at his WeChat. As expected, Gu Jiuci hadn't replied to his message.He didn't understand. "The master and Gu Jiuci never had much mutual understanding, but when it comes to a cold war, why were they so compatible?""Hehehe..."At this moment, Ye Kan suddenly let out a jarring laugh. Without any regard for others, his fingers flew across the screen as he chatted enthusiastically with his new girlfriend.In comparison to the man who had been waiting for a message from his fiancé for the last few days, it was a clear contrast.Zhan Ying immediately kicked Ye Kan warningly. "It's all because of Ye Kan fanning the flames! If he hadn't taught the master to let loose in order to grasp tighter an
The man slowly raised his eyes. His pupils were as dark as a bottomless abyss as he looked coldly at Ye Kan.A mysterious chill went down Ye Kan's back.Seeing the situation, Zhan Ying hurriedly asked on his behalf, "Master, is it a message from Miss Gu?""It's definitely not her," Ye Kan said with certainty because he knew who was sending a message at this time.That's right, he purposely taught the boss to ignore Gu Jiuci to give Jiang Yuan a chance.Although this idea wasn't great, he was thinking about his boss's future happiness."Then who could it be? Our competitor? An enemy of the boss?"With the thinking of a straight man, Zhan Ying meticulously considered the possibilities."It's none of them. Those people aren't worth the boss looking like that."Ye Kan shook his head. Looking at Huo Mingche, he offered some well-meaning advice, "Boss, you should give other women a chance too. If you don't try, how do you know other women aren't just as good? Does it have to Gu Jiuc
Zhan Ying immediately replied respectfully.It was only after a long time since the man left that the two of them felt the oppressive pressure gradually recede from the office.Ye Kan let out a sigh and found that his forehead was covered in sweat. He thought he had been about to die.At this time, his phone rang. It was a call from Jiang Yuan."Ye Kan, what did you do? Why has Brother Huo blacklisted me on WeChat? Did you say something wrong?"The moment the call connected, Jiang Yuan began to hurl her accusations.Ye Kan was already feeling wronged and immediately grew angry at these words."Jiang Yuan, it's your own motherfucking fault. I risked my life to create an opportunity for you. Whose fault is it if you can't grasp the opportunity properly? It's me who was blind to think that you were worthy of the boss. You best do what you can!""Ye Kan! What are you saying?"Jiang Yuan's angry voice immediately came through the phone, but Ye Kan couldn't be bothered to listen and
"What do you mean? I've seen plenty of straight guys in dramas who don't like to wear couple's shirts."Si Chen unconsciously defended Yu Gu, but she felt uncertain in her heart."Chenchen, you're not going to like what I'm about to say. Petty love isn't love. It's just you compromising again and again. True love is a mutual exchange. Have you forgotten that I am a living example?"Gu Jiuci stared severely at Si Chen as she spoke.Hurt appeared on Si Chen's face. Just as she was about to say something, Ji Weiran and Shen Jianxing finished paying and headed toward them."We're done. Is there anything else you want to buy?"Interrupted like this, they couldn't continue the topic. Gu Jiuci shook her head."I don't have anything to buy."Si Chen was the same. Her last shopping experience there wasn't that great."Then we're leaving now, bye-bye!"Ji Weiran happily caught hold of Shen Jianxing's hand."I have training for the International Mathematical Olympiad to attend later...
Even though the man had not yet said a word, his desire to see that girl was clearly visible.Zhan Ying rushed to catch up, reciting Amitabha's name in his mind."May heaven protect us, and may Gu Jiuci appear soon!"People were walking in a line toward the terminal exit. Outside, there was a multitude of people waiting to greet those who had arrived, as well as other travelers.The moment the man appeared, his gorgeous face immediately caused a flurry of gasps and stares."Heavens! Look at how handsome he is! Which star is that?""I don't know. If he really is a star, he'll become really popular! Quick, take a picture!"Zhan Ying wanted to rush forward, but instead, he stood there and looked all around.The bustling throng had all been stopped in their tracks by his beauty. Countless gazes were cast at him in envy. But the one gaze he desired was missing.Gu Jiuci had not come!Huo Mingche knitted his brows angrily and looked at Zhan Ying.Zhan Ying immediately understood h
"Who is it that doesn't respond to any messages the moment they leave the country? And now that you're back, you don't know to send a WeChat message, but you actually get someone else to send one for you?"The more Gu Jiuci thought about it, the angrier she became and the more wronged she felt. She became angry beyond all reason. She clenched her fists and punched Huo Mingche in the chest repeatedly."All right, I understand. Do you think that once you're engaged, the person you've been pursuing is no longer important?"The man became worried. His face, which up until then had seemed paralyzed, appeared perplexed.He had seen this girl appear cold and detached. He had seen her ridicule others. He had seen her lie to him. But he had never seen her being so fierce and tough. This made him feel uneasy. He was not even willing to give a rebuttal.He stood there and let his Xiao Jiu'er vent her frustration. In his mind, he felt numb. Thanks to her, that heart that had been frozen for s
He had already found the answer. There was no need to make the same elementary mistake again.Seeing this scene, Zhan Ying's and Ye Kan's mouths opened in amazement. Their jaws nearly fell off.Was this the same Emperor Huo Mingche that could make the entire imperial capital alarmed with a mere rumor, and who could kill a man with just his aura?Who was this man that stood in front of this girl and listened obediently like a giant cat?What is love supposed to be? The answer is one person subduing another..."Then I'll do my best to forgive you."Gu Jiuci never thought the devil would be so straightforward in admitting his faults. She could not find any other fault with him, and thus could not hold any more grudges.When she was done venting, her anger was exhausted. She finally realized how impudent she had been. She began to feel a little scared, so she changed the subject."Why did you not come out of the VIP passageway? I had to run around to find you.""I wasn't paying at
