Chapter 46 – A gift for Boss Huo (4)

Now that she was done, she felt that her stomach was roiling. Her entire stomach was spasming in pain.

It wasn’t too long before she was covered in sweat!

“Did I… overeat?”

She didn’t eat a lot in the afternoon and purposefully saved room for dinner.

And she just drank the cold milk… oh, miiiiilk!!

The original owner seemed to drink cold beverages very infrequently.

Oww…

Gu Shishi’s hands trembled. She couldn’t hold it any more and dashed into the bathroom as she placed her hands over the stomach.

While she was being very quiet, her channel with only three viewers started to roll shortly thereafter!

[King of the Hill: This painting… wasn’t too bad!]

[King of the Hill: Where’s the Channel Owner? Was that a copy painting of any known artist?]

[King of the Hill: Hey, hey, hey? Anyone there? I am leaving then!…. Hey, Channel Owner, I am only going to wait for you for one more minute!…. At most 10 minutes. I am leaving, for real!]

A long time went by and, finally, one more weak message flow past!

[King of the Hill: Darn! Okay, I am following you! PM me when you get back!]

….

The night was very quiet in the mansion.

Inside the master bedroom on the second floor.

One could even hear clearly the slightest rustling noise made by the leaves from the wind.

Sitting on the couch right now, the man with a robe over him put down his wine glass.

He looked up coldly at the man in front of him.

“Boss, you have an 8 AM meeting tomorrow morning with finance and an International Exchange meeting at 10 AM….” Siyi was busy with reciting the schedule to his boss.

Abruptly, he was interrupted.

“Have you ever felt that someone’s clothes smelled good?” asked Huo Sishen as he squinted.

Siyi almost bit his own tongue accidentally, “Huh?”

What was the boss talking about?

Huo Sishen frowned.

“Nothing. Continue!”

Earlier, when she was standing outside his door, she said his clothes “smelled good”. Was she just rambling or was she purposely kissing up to him?

“Oh yes. After that, you need to be over at the Asia Pacific Building to meet up with …” Siyi forced himself to carry on.

But when he looked up, he caught his boss squinting at the coffee table. His mouth shut tightly as though he was… spacing out?

He looked down immediately and talked even faster than he was earlier!

The same night, Zhao Xian, who was just about to crawl into bed and whine to her SGR boyfriend, was shocked by his words.

“Gu Shishi? How do you know about her?”

Zhao Xian was so shocked that she had forgotten to ask him about the 30-day anniversary gift.

“Hmm, one of my cousins was bullied by her. I will go pick you up from your shop tomorrow and wait to see some drama at the same time!”

Zhao Xian felt revived all of a sudden.

This new boyfriend of hers, Luo Zheng, was the nephew of the President of Luo’s Real Estate.

His cousin… that would be the real daughter of the Luo’s!

Gu Shishi managed to offend someone of that caliber?

And just how was she able to do that?

“But her fiancé seemed to be someone of power. Who is he?”

Zhao Xian recalled the handsome face that she saw earlier in the day and was a little dazed.

“That one… never mind him. But stay away from him!” There was a slight hesitation in Luo Zheng’s voice.

“It doesn’t matter. He didn’t care for her. He wouldn’t stand up for her!”

Zhao Xian frowned.

That didn’t seem like the case earlier.

He brought lunch for her and had his chauffeur picked her up afterward.

Was that just how the rich people would put up the front?

Just like star couples always looked like they were in love in front of the camera, even when they were already going through the divorce process?

“Well then, dear, what do you have planned for her? Do tell~” Zhao Xian couldn’t help but ask.

Luo Zheng snickered.

“These commoner girls all love money. I am going to have someone bring her diamond jewelry and flowers tomorrow and say that he had a crush on her for a while and see how she’d act!”

“I am also going to have a PI take some pictures and send them to the Huo’s and see how her fiancé feel about that green hat.”

His words made Zhao Xian’s smile freeze a little.

His words… did he mean her as well?!

Even though she was only with him for his money, she still felt that her face was burning right now.

But, still, she worked her delicate voice and said, “Ah Zheng, I will help you for sure. I’m sure Gu Shishi will most likely fall for that. She loves her designer brands. She came into work to show off all her designer brand clothes to me today!”

Luo Zheng’s voice softened as well.

“Darling, you are with me now. Nobody shows off in front of you. Whatever you want, text me the pictures. I will have my assistant go and get them.”

Zhao Xian gritted her teeth, but still responded in her delicate voice.

Her mind wandered off to the earlier conversation.

The Huo’s…

That handsome man. He was the successor of the largest retail giant – the Huo’s?

Gu Shishi was really good enough to find herself such a rich man?

A shred of crazy jealousy crossed Zhao Xian’s face, but she quickly smiled.

That’s alright. There’s a chance that her engagement would be called off by tomorrow.

Young Master Huo….

Zhao Xian couldn’t help the longing in her eyes.
