8:30 p.m. at night.Aunt Ming had gone to the family home, so Gu Jiuci had dinner at school before going back.She raised her head and glanced upstairs. Taking off her shoes, she tiptoed toward the upstairs study. Earlier, she had messaged Zhan Ying and confirmed that the devil was in the study working.Arriving at the study door, Gu Jiuci reached out a hand to rest it on the handle. After taking a deep breath, she slowly pushed open the door. As expected, the moment the door opened, the man's gaze landed on her.Gu Jiuci felt nervous for some reason and awkwardly said, "You said that I could study in here!""Mhm."The man acknowledged her quietly and looked back at his work.For a moment, the expression on his face was strange. It seemed that he wanted to smile slightly but after years of holding his expression, he couldn't adjust immediately.Gu Jiuci was too busy being nervous and didn't even notice the change on the devil's face. As if worried that the devil would go back o
"Being in love... What a difficult math problem..."Gu Jiuci had intended to seize the opportunity to explain the misunderstanding to the devil, but as he spoke, her eyelids grew heavier and heavier. As things went on, her eyes fought to stay open. Without him realizing, the devil's voice lost much of its coldness and gained an undercurrent of warmth.Her head drooped like a chick pecking at the ground. Bit by bit, her head fell down until it landed against Huo Mingche's shoulder.The man's voice abruptly stopped and his body tensed. Sensing the calm and regular breathing of the person beside him, he gradually turned his head to look at her."Ah, don't move!"Gu Jiuci seemed to have been disturbed by his motion. She suddenly moved her head from his shoulder and slumped across the table.The sudden emptiness made Huo Mingche's expression darken and he unconsciously began to emanate an invisible pressure, then he abruptly remembered her words from the night before and forcibly supp
The first rays of the morning sun gently crept into the bedroom.Gu Jiuci kept her eyes closed and stretched comfortably like a cat. For some reason, she had slept particularly well last night.She was halfway through her stretch when her body gradually woke up and she immediately felt a large hand resting firmly on her waist."What?"Gu Jiuci abruptly opened her eyes and immediately saw a startlingly well-defined and handsome face.No matter how many times she saw it, she was shocked by the handsomeness of... Huo Mingche.Yet, why was her leg resting wantonly on the devil's body?Realizing what she had done, Gu Jiuci's expression froze and she didn't even dare to breathe loudly.She raised her eyes and looked consideringly at the man. Right now, he had put away all of his coldness. His peacefully sleeping face was very gentle, making one... want to touch...As Gu Jiuci thought this, her body relaxed and even dared to make a move.Using her index finger, she gently traced a p
"Nice tie."Zhan Ying almost charged out with the car in fright. "The cold-blooded king who never joked complimented my tie?"It was not until they reached the company did Zhan Ying finally return to his senses. Looking down, he considered his tie. "Isn't this the tie that Gu Jiuci and the master gave him when they went shopping at that time?"No wonder..."For the rest of the day, Zhan Ying felt a warmth like a spring breeze. Even Ye Kan was confused and asked him for information."Zhan Ying, what's with the boss today? He's so gentle, which is not like him!""This is all thanks to Gu Jiuci! No, from today onward, I will call her Miss Gu!"He wouldn't call her by her name behind her back anymore.Zhan Ying silently made up his mind and immediately took out his phone to excitedly send a WeChat message to Gu Jiuci.While on her way to attend an interview for Juilliard School, Gu Jiuci suddenly received a message and paused.Zhan Ying: "Miss Gu, thank you!"Gu Jiuci: "???""C
"Humph! Of course, I won't argue with them. These Eastern people will only choose some Eastern music to make themselves stand out. I bet if they were forced to choose Western music, their performance would be terrible!"Daisy's words immediately raised a ruckus among the other European examinees present. They all agreed in English and with lofty attitudes, looking disdainfully at the Eastern examinees.Gu Jiuci stared at Daisy's face. She vaguely remembered that she was the gold medalist of this year's Golden Butterfly Violin Award. No wonder the European students around her all agreed with what she said. She had the skill to say such things."What nonsense are you saying?"Ji Weiran stood up angrily and glared at Daisy."Humph! Am I not speaking the truth? Shen Jianxing is your boyfriend, right? He's lost to me before. I remember that the piece your boyfriend chose was "Butterfly Lovers", right? Do you dare to choose a piece of higher complexity?"Daisy laughed when she finished
Both Western and Eastern students immediately panicked. Yet, the examiners only expressionlessly told everyone to make the most of their time to prepare.Gu Jiuci and her friends remained very calm. Without saying anything, they moved as the examiners requested and took their places.Daisy, as a gold medalist, also didn't panic much.The examiners stood to the side and silently observed them. Pleased expressions appeared on all of their faces.Gu Jiuci had just raised her violin and took her place when Daisy laughed smugly."Vile Easterner, you probably haven't taken part in a single international competition, have you? I'm the gold medalist of the Golden Butterfly Award. This last spot is fated to be mine!""We'll wait and see."Faced with Daisy's provocation, Gu Jiuci had no reaction and replied indifferently."Gu Jiuci! You have to do your best. Beat her and I'll treat you to a week of fancy meals!"Ji Weiran angrily cheered Gu Jiuci on."No problem. When the time comes, o
"Alright, begin!"Pompidou made a gesture and the examinees all lifted their violins to begin.Gu Jiuci lifted her violin single-handedly and kept everyone waiting as she adjusted her position."How do you have the nerve to say you can defeat me with just this level of skill?"Daisy spoke disdainfully and made the other people laugh. Even a few of the examiners shook their heads with disappointment.Gu Jiuci ignored them and adjusted the violin until it was in a position that pleased her.The violin piece was one that combined a leisurely pace with a quick rhythm. As it continuously changed speeds and needed to be performed with depth and feeling, it was very difficult.In less than a minute, the examiners had already stopped five to six people and indicated that they could put down their violins and leave.The other people present stared with wide eyes."So strict, they don't even let them finish...""But the standards of the Juilliard teachers are high. Haven't you noticed
"Thank you."Gu Jiuci politely shook Pompidou's hand with a slight smile."The Juilliard School has always been my dream. Thank you for giving me an opportunity."Gu Jiuci let out a long breath. Her heart finally settled. Daisy had been a strong opponent and she had only won by a little. Fortunately, she had put her own foot in her mouth."We look forward to your performance, Gu Jiuci."Afterward, the four of them filled out some forms with the help of the assistant teacher, then they left together.Going out, they saw Daisy also standing by the side of the road. Beside her was a limited edition Rolls-Royce. Gu Jiuci narrowed her eyes. It was a custom-made model, even more luxurious than a limited edition model.A golden-haired, blue-eyed woman climbed out of the car. It was probably Daisy's mom. After hearing a few words from Daisy, she immediately looked toward Gu Jiuci.In that instant, Gu Jiuci saw her entire face. For some reason, her heart trembled and goosebumps broke ou
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. Gu Jiuci turned around and saw her second brother standing outside with a dark face and a baseball bat in his hand."Er..."Gu Jiuci's scalp went num
