"What's happening? I don't remember ordering all these things? Have you made a mistake?"Director Li Le'an's expression was confused."Indeed, you didn't order it. However, a gentleman purposely ordered these dishes for you. Other than these dishes, he also asked us to prepare a few bottles of the 82 Château Lafite-Rothschild. This gentleman said that it's a thank you for looking after Miss Gu.""Miss Gu?"Hearing the lobby manager's words, everyone's gaze turned slowly toward Gu Jiuci.Being mentioned out of the blue, Gu Jiuci was surprised as well."Was this... the surprise the devil prepared?"With a dubious expression, Fei Ming joked, "Tsk tsk, Miss Gu, do you have some secret that you haven't told us?""I..."Gu Jiuci didn't know what to say. Although this was a surprise, the devil had always respected her decisions. She had just debuted, why would he expose their relationship in front of everyone without discussing it with her first?Yet, in the next second, Gu Jiuci kn
The atmosphere immediately grew awkward. Everyone's gaze moved back and forth between the two of them. Had he been slapped in the face?Nevertheless, Gu Jiuci underestimated how thick Jiang Yutang's skin was. He continued to approach her and even put on a pampering expression as he said, "Ci, it was all my fault in the past. Stop being unhappy with me, all right? We've been in a cold war for months. There should a time limit on punishments, right?"When Jiang Yutang got to the end, his tone became aggrieved and pitiful. Combined with his lying face, it successfully fooled the crowd. Some kindhearted staff members even helped Jiang Yutang to persuade Gu Jiuci."Ci, you should forgive him given how sincerely he has admitted to his mistakes!""That's right. If I had just a good boyfriend, I'd be happy to death."Another staff member immediately joined in to help.The situation was turning in Jiang Yutang's favor. Even if Gu Jiuci insisted that she wasn't Jiang Yutang's girlfriend at
"I'm very sorry to have disturbed your party. I'll have him leave right now!"With that, the lobby manager immediately summoned their strongest security guards. Holding Jiang Yutang between them, they dragged him out.Jiang Yutang struggled desperately and repeatedly shouted at the crowd."Don't believe her. She's slandering me!"Jiang Yutang was being dragged out like a dog. It was as pathetic as it got. Additionally, his last words made everyone believe Gu Jiuci even more. After all, they had interacted with Gu Jiuci day and night for months. Emotionally, they were on Gu Jiuci's side."Such trash isn't worthy of being called a man. Ci, in the future, you have to be careful!" Fei Ming reminded her kindly.Even Du Fanghua patted Gu Jiuci's shoulder and asked if she had been frightened."I think Jiang Yutang is just a rascal. Some negative news might appear, but don't worry, we'll bear witness for you at that time!"Du Fanghua said this out of personal debt to Huo Mingche. After
"No, no, no, it's not what you think. I can explain!"Gu Jiuci felt like all the blood in her body had frozen. She wasn't afraid of anything, except for Huo Mingche's misunderstanding.When Jiang Yutang saw Huo Mingche appear, he was even more excited. He even looked at Huo Mingche provocatively and smugly said, "Huo Mingche, do you see? The person Ci likes is me. You're just a backup! Hahaha... Ah!"Before Jiang Yutang could finish speaking, he was kicked in the side by Qiao who had just come out. Gu Jiuci was being held by Jiang Yutang and lost her balance, falling down with him.Just as her body was about to have intimate contact with the ground, a pair of strong and slender hands grabbed her and pulled her into an embrace.Gu Jiuci met the man's brilliant eyes and suddenly felt very aggrieved. The moment she opened her mouth, it carried a teary tone."I really haven't done anything unworthy of you...""I know."The man's low voice abruptly rang out. There wasn't any anger,
Gu Jiuci stared with wide eyes at Huo Mingche and her entire body started trembling!The scene in front of her gradually melded with that of the Huo Mingche from her previous life. How could she forget that this was the true form of the devil of the imperial capital? This was the true Huo Mingche!"Master! Stop hitting him!"Zhan Ying's face turned pale with fear. "Crap! How could the master have a fit right now?" He threw caution to the wind and shouted at his master. Nonetheless, Huo Mingche didn't seem to hear anything.He could only beg Gu Jiuci."Gu Jiuci, think of something, quickly. The master is like this because of you. Only you can calm him!""Because of me?"Gu Jiuci froze where she stood as if roots had sprouted from her feet. She clearly heard Zhan Ying's words, but she couldn't move her lips and couldn't make any sound.The Huo Mingche of this moment made her instinctively afraid, made her instinctively... want to run away!Hearing the words "Gu Jiuci", the angry
Initially, the fans and gossipers didn't much believe it. After all, too many pieces of news relating to Gu Jiuci recently had been proven wrong.Before long, the gossipers found Jiang Yutang's Weibo and found that he had liked the posts from the marketing accounts. Without a doubt, this was a personal admission. Jiang Yutang's likes made the popularity of this piece of gossip rise to a new level.For a time, many people surged into Jiang Yutang's Weibo. His Weibo was mostly carefully edited photos and selfies flaunting his wealth. Those unwitting netizens passing by were immediately charmed by the false image Jiang Yutang presented and left jealous, envious, and hateful comments beneath his posts. Some of Jiuci's fans that weren't aware of the true situation also began to follow Jiang Yutang.In just a few short hours, Jiang Yutang gained fifty to sixty thousand followers, while there were immediately over a thousand comments under his newest post. He had earned a great deal of aff
Gu Jiuci had a full beauty sleep. When she woke up, she went with the devil back to the Huo home to have breakfast with Grandfather Huo.When she opened Weibo out of boredom on the way, Tang Yu, with a public relations team, had already taken control of public opinion so she didn't think much of it.The Huo Family was large, it was rumored that there were even branches overseas. Grandfather Huo liked liveliness and often invited relatives to come to eat. In her previous life, Gu Jiuci didn't like Huo Mingche. She had coldly rejected all family banquets and had Huo Mingche go alone.Every time he came back from the Huo home, his expression would be ugly. At that time, the devil's parents had deep objections toward her. They were married, yet Huo Mingche still seemed alone and lonely.So when Grandfather Huo called this morning, Gu Jiuci had been very enthusiastic. She even had Qiao make her up exquisitely and purposely picked clothing to match the devil."How is it? I'm not an emba
Gu Jiuci's visit to the Huo home this time was under very different circumstances than her last visit.The moment she walked in, Mother Huo came toward her with a smile and warmly took her hand to lead her into the living room."Ci, I've solved the Rubik's Cube you gave me last time. It took an hour. Do you want to compete against me?"Gu Jiuci's eyes landed on their clasped hands and then turned to look at the devil standing alone by the door."Did Mother Huo forget the devil?"The man stood in the doorway for a few seconds. Seeing them settle down harmoniously on the couch to talk enthusiastically, his lips involuntarily turned up slightly. Not long ago, he thought he would never see this sight in his life.On the couch, Gu Jiuci quickly took out her phone."Aunty, a really fun detective app has been popular recently, and it's a true test for intelligence. I've only solved the second case. Do you want to try it?""Why are you calling me Aunty? Call me Mom!"Mother Huo purpos
