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
Although Huo Mingche didn't interact much with the Huo family relatives, they all knew his habits to try and curry favor with him. A man like him with mysophobia didn't like to eat shrimp to start with, much less peel them voluntarily. Yet, now, he was lowering himself to peel shrimps for Gu Jiuci!"Brother Che, you eat some too."Gu Jiuci picked up a piece of beef and brought it straight to Huo Mingche's mouth. Everyone's heart rose to their throats and Mother Huo nervously chewed her lip. She hesitated, wanting to remind Gu Jiuci but it was already too lateHer son's mysophobia had been very severe since birth! No matter who, if they broke his rules, he would immediately fly into a rage!Yet, Mother Huo couldn't believe what she saw next.Huo Mingche actually opened his mouth and ate the beef from the chopsticks Gu Jiuci had already used. The motion was familiar and natural as if he was a normal person.Everyone was petrified. Mother Huo pouted, aggrieved. "Son, what happened to
Huo Meimei immediately stood and walked with her phone to Mother Huo. She handed her phone to Mother Huo to have a look and fanned the flames with ill intention from the side."Aunty, look. This is a gif. Although the man's face can't be seen clearly, no matter how you look at it, Gu Jiuci is hugging him of her own accord! That's disgusting!"Gu Jiuci had felt been very confused initially, but when she heard the words "of her own accord," she glanced unconsciously at Huo Mingche, just as his gaze turned toward her."Had there been someone present when I hugged the devil? So, someone had taken a photo of us without us knowing?""Ci, how could you do something like this?"Initially, Mother Huo didn't believe it, but after looking intently at the gif three times, she turned to Gu Jiuci with disappointment in her eyes.The trust she had worked hard to establish all collapsed at this moment."Mom, listen to me explain. That's actually a picture of...""Gu Jiuci, shut up! Any explana
"Fortunately, Brother Che is right by my side to explain this for me. But I'm afraid that the next time someone spreads rumors in front of you, I'll..."She didn't finish her sentence, but the family all looked toward Huo Meimei."Ah... Uncle, Aunt, I was acting in the interests of the Huo Family, that's why..." Huo Meimei explained awkwardly.Nonetheless, Father and Mother Huo no longer believed her words."If you were really acting with the interests of the Huo Family in mind, you wouldn't be trying to destroy their relationship! I think you just don't like my daughter-in-law and are purposely making trouble!" Mother Huo scolded angrily.Thinking about it now, every time these relatives came over, they always caused some kind of trouble."Since you're not here to eat, leave! There's no need to come in the future!"Father Huo spoke with a cold expression. Aunt Ming immediately brought people to ask Huo Meimei and her mother to leave.Originally, Huo Meimei's family was nothing
The moment Gu Jiuci finished speaking, she felt a strange atmosphere around her. It was as if the temperature had dropped by a few degrees!She unconsciously turned and abruptly met the eyes of the man standing by the stairs.Huo Mingche didn't say anything. His handsome face was terrifying in its heaviness. He didn't have any reaction, but in Gu Jiuci's opinion, this was even scarier!The man glanced at Gu Jiuci then he turned and went upstairs.Gu Jiuci panicked. Beside her, Mother Huo pushed her sympathetically."Hurry and soothe him.""I'll go upstairs now."Gu Jiuci hurriedly acknowledged Mother Huo's words and immediately stood up. She went upstairs, chasing Huo Mingche.When she pushed open the bedroom door, the man was sitting by the bed looking at his phone with a dark expression."Are you angry?" Gu Jiuci asked carefully as she tiptoed over.Yet, the man didn't say anything. It seemed that he was planning on ignoring her.Gu Jiuci stole a glance at the devil's phon
"That person isn't Jiang Yutang. That's my proper boyfriend."In just a few words, Gu Jiuci clearly and simply explained the matter."You're saying, he's Chairman Huo?!!"On the other end of the phone, Tang Yu's voice abruptly rose."Then this matter is even more problematic."When Gu Jiuci accepted the call, she purposely put it on speaker. Hearing Tang Yu's words, the man beside the bed abruptly raised his head. Gloominess flashed across his deep eyes."Why?" Gu Jiuci asked hurriedly.Tang Yu explained."There were two ways to clear up this matter. One, the woman isn't you, but that's clearly impossible. Second, the man is some other family or friend. But it just happens that the man is Chairman Huo, your actual fiance!"If you want to clear up the matter, you must publicize the fact that you're dating and are engaged. You just gained a little popularity with 'Our Best Time'. Do you know what consequences married actresses face?"They're unable to bring to their fans the il
"I just don't want others to think that I am where I am today because I've been riding your coattails. But I still want everyone to know that I have someone. Is that all right?"Hearing this, the corners of Huo Mingche's lips rose unconsciously and he slowly pulled back his hand.Gu Jiuci boldly leaned onto the man and wrote a post before adding in the just-taken photo.Gu Jiuci (Verified): "I'm making it public. I have a boyfriend, the kind I aim for marriage with. I don't want a certain piece of trash to make him feel bad, so I'm showing him to you all. JPG"In the photo, Gu Jiuci and Huo Mingche's hands were tightly clasped together. Although the pair of gold rings were plain and unadorned, they were particularly eye-catching.With this post, Tang Yu immediately took a series of actions. First, he had the office Weibo share the post, then he quickly pushed this post onto the "hot searches" list.The fans and bystanders hadn't had time to grow angry when they were met with a bi
After Gu Jiuci went to the bathroom, Huo Mingche leaned against the head of the bed and opened Weibo on his phone. Straightaway, he clicked open her newest post. There were already over ten thousand comments beneath the post.He scrolled through them at random and scanned through some popular comments.@Gu Family's Little Red Shoe: "I'm guessing that Ci loves this man to death, otherwise, why would she take such a large risk to make him public?"@Mountains And Lakes Have Jiuci: "I hope that this boyfriend isn't trash like Jiang Yutang! Otherwise, all of us 'maiden homes' will deal with him!"@Gu Family Mother Fan: "Do you not see the pair of gold rings? Since they're going to get married, he must be reliable, right?"@Ci's Waist: "Face-unknown brother-in-law, you have to be good to our Ci, don't let her be bullied like this again."These fans would probably never know that the boyfriend they were so heatedly discussing was intently reading through their comments and was taking th
