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
The devil stood in front of his desk. With an ambiguous expression, he stared at the messy test papers and other indiscernible objects covering the desk.Gu Jiuci laughed uneasily."It was... You weren't at home, you know... so I just borrowed your office."She explained as she walked in. She hastened to gather her things."Give me a couple of minutes. I'll clean this all up!"The man did not say anything. His slender fingers picked up one of the scratch papers off of the table and flipped it over."When I was doing some advanced math yesterday, I just randomly grabbed some paper. If it's a problem, I'll pay for it..."As Gu Jiuci picked things up, she looked around absent-mindedly until she saw the devil turn the paper over. When she saw the writing on the other side, she was completely dumbstruck..."That, that, that... that's the 800-million-yuan contract between the Huo Family and the A Group?!"Gu Jiuci's head was about to explode. She had actually used the 800-million-yu
At the moment, she was absent-mindedly doing some music theory questions while stealing occasional glances at the devil across from her.Although they'd been together in his office, they'd never been so close. If she stretched out her hand, she could touch his face. It was a remarkable feeling.Suddenly, Gu Jiuci's phone on the table violently vibrated. The devil, who had been focused on his work, frowned slightly and quickly shot a glance towards it."Ah! It's my classmate's group. I'll immediately switch to silent mode!" Gu Jiuci said immediately and then hurried to unlock her phone.It was Ji Weiran who had messaged their four-person group and had especially tagged her.Ji Weiran: "@Gu Jiuci, My God, so the person who is engaged to the Chairman of the Huo Corporation, Huo Mingche, is you!"Ji Weiran: "What kind of luck do you have to win such an angel-like man?!"Seeing these words, Gu Jiuci's temper immediately flared and she immediately shot back a retort.Gu Jiuci: "What
Huo Mingche removed his earphones slightly and the executives in the video-conference all heard a wave of static, then a delicate and spirited girl's voice quietly rang out."I want to grab my eraser."All the executives were stunned by this voice. In the past, Young Master Huo had very strict requirements for his work environment. No one dared to come into his room to interrupt him.Yet now, a woman's voice rang out in Young Master Huo's personal space! Didn't this man, who seemed as lofty as a god, stay away from women?!!Eraser? Was this girl still in school? Was she still an adolescent?This group of executives were new hires with a newly established branch of the company and were not familiar with the recent situation, unlike the executives in the main branch who were no longer surprised by it.On the other side of the video screen, Zhan Ying raised a hand to cover his eyes in pain. "It's over! The master's perfect image in everyone's minds has collapsed entirely!"In a dif
