His mind was miles away so he didn't notice that there seemed to be a person standing outside the slowly opening cabin door..."SURPRISE!"Huo Mingche was just about to step out when a streak of black abruptly ran into his arms.His first reaction was to catch hold of the person's throat, but upon hearing that gentle voice, he instinctively changed his action and voluntarily caught her, allowing her to fall into his arms."Brother Che, are you surprised?!"Gu Jiuci squeezed Huo Mingche's narrow waist tightly, her entire person leaning into his arms. Raising her head, she smiled at him with her eyes sparkling like stars. At this moment, her eyes fully reflected Huo Mingche's face.Clear shock finally appeared in the man's expressionless eyes along with even a touch of disbelief.Fortunately, at this moment, the plane beside them that was heading to America gradually took off."So... she isn't leaving with Jiang Yutang? She is choosing him? Or..."Zhan Ying's eyes opened wide in
"I don't think so. My nose is just a little itchy," Gu Jiuci replied with a smile."Probably because the two wicked people didn't succeed in their plans and are jumping up and down in anger while cursing my name," she thought to herself.Just at this moment, the car arrived at Phoenix Lodge. Gu Jiuci abruptly remembered the pile of things on the table inside.As she climbed out of the car, she turned to ask Huo Mingche, "Oh, right, did you eat lunch?""Not yet."Huo Mingche answered lightly. Behind him, Zhan Ying muttered angrily to himself."With a belly full of anger at you, who could remember to eat?""Aunt Ming has today off. I bought a lot of food that's healthy and good for your stomach, but it's all uncooked. Wait a moment, I'll make it for you!"Gu Jiuci hummed cheerfully as she headed inside, leaving the two men far behind her.Zhan Ying picked his moment and sidled up to his master's side. In a low voice, he said, "Master, I checked the video recording. After Miss Gu
However, the man with universal-level mysophobia wasn't swayed at all. He clutched her hand even tighter and wouldn't let her pull away.With her finger in the warmth of the devil's mouth, Gu Jiuci raised her eyes to sweep them across the man's face, which had an expression of suppressed desire.This was like the saying, the more restrained one is, the more that one desires. Her heart trembled, and an indecent image flashed across her mind. Abruptly, her face glowed red.In the time that followed, she was like a walking red shrimp. In a daze, she allowed the devil to pull her to the sink to wash her hand and then allowed him to gently apply a bandaid.It wasn't until the devil picked up the peeler and began to peel the potato that she abruptly came back to her senses. Embarrassed, she said, "It should be me cooking for you.""You don't know how."Being concisely rejected by a straight man was... too cruel!Gu Jiuci looked at her hands and could only surrender. Decisively, she pl
"I had my reasons!"Gu Jiuci raised her voice in her desire to live. The man didn't speak, clearly allowing her to continue her confession. She let out a long breath and continued.She had to dig out the mines buried between them today, one by one!"Do you often receive messages from an anonymous number? And are these messages, without exception, always related to me and Jiang Yutang?"They're all photos and videos of me meeting Jiang Yutang outside of your knowledge, right?"As Gu Jiuci spoke, she kept her eyes intently on Huo Mingche's face. As expected, when the devil heard this, his eyes widened almost imperceptibly. He immediately took out his phone and opened it to a page before handing it to Gu Jiuci.On the screen were clearly displayed pictures, videos, and messages, one after another.Gu Jiuci scrolled the screen up. After a long while, she finally found the first message. A mocking smile rose on her lips."Who would have thought that my cousin had managed to get hold
After the devil's figure disappeared from the stairs, she immediately jumped up and down a few times!She also imitated a very silly dance from MouYin, very much looking like a piece of wild seaweed~Unknown to her, the person who had already gone up the stairs backed up a few steps and just happened to catch sight of this scene...That night, Zhan Ying tactfully arranged for a different aunty to come and tidy up the dishes.Gu Jiuci showered and crashed on her bed in a good mood.She wondered if the devil had discovered her third surprise.In the study...Huo Mingche had just finished a video conference. Only after he closed the screen of his laptop did he see that there was an extra item on the desk.A long and white medicinal box had been placed on his desk at some point. It clearly didn't belong to him.The man's sharp eyes noticed a heart-shaped sticky note under the box.He pulled it out and took a look."I specially consulted Old Master Fei. These medicines are all go
Early the next morning, Huo Mingche personally dropped Gu Jiuci off at school.Just as Gu Jiuci was going to open the door after the car stopped, the doors were suddenly locked. She turned to look in confusion at the devil."What's wrong?""Give me your phone."Huo Mingche raised his eyes indifferently, and carelessly stretched out his hand toward her. His actions were very ordinary, but because it was him, they were as charming as a slow-motion shot in a movie.Without thinking, Gu Jiuci handed her phone to him. She watched as he opened her phone and was met with a lock screen."The password is your birthday, 1128." She quickly interjected.Hearing this, the man froze for a second, then he typed in his birthday. Surprisingly, the phone actually unlocked.Gu Jiuci sidled up to him with a smile and purposely lowered her voice as she said, "You can look at my phone whenever you want to in the future. I have no secrets from you anymore."After she said this, she focused intently
"Even if you dressed as pretty as a butterfly, Huo Mingche wouldn't even spare you a glance. Besides, the windows of the Rolls-Royce are tinted and firmly hide the devil from view."Xu Yun'er peered left and right but couldn't catch a glimpse of Huo Mingche. She could only watch as the luxurious Rolls-Royce drove away from her and grit her teeth secretly.However, she couldn't expose herself in front of Gu Jiuci. She had to swallow her emotions and resist her regret as she smiled at Gu Jiuci."It's not a coincidence, I was waiting for you. Didn't you promise me to go meet Jiang Yutang at the airport yesterday? Why didn't you go in the end? Jiang Yutang ended up missing his flight because he was waiting for you."Xu Yun'er purposely spoke in an accusing tone. She wanted to put pressure on Gu Jiuci with her words."Yesterday, Brother Che came back. Compared to him, naturally, Jiang Yutang isn't so important anymore. Besides, I've already made everything clear to Jiang Yutang. There'
Only silence greeted Zhan Ying's question.The man rolled down the windows, and his deep gaze fell on the scenery rapidly flying by. The sun suddenly entered a patch of cloud and the scenery immediately dimmed."Completely trust her?"He had wanted to do that countless times in the past, but never had it brought him anything."Xiao Jiu'er, are you speaking the truth this time, or is it a long-term lie?"On the tree-lined avenue...Gu Jiuci took out her phone and added the name for the devil's new number.Raising her head, she realized that the day had suddenly darkened without her notice and the air was feeling very hot and humid. The weather in June changed in a heartbeat, and it looked like it was going to pour down rain."I need to hurry to practice."She immediately increased her speed and dashed toward the music building. Just as she was about to reach the door to the building, another girl just happened to come out. Gu Jiuci didn't control her speed in time and crashed i
