Chapter 397 – “Have you heard about Dad? Let’s meet up and talk.” (3)
As long as her man would stay cute and happy the way he was right now, she would be fine with or without a Huohuo junior.
Besides, they were both still young.
This body had just turned 23 years old, still a good 12 ~ 13 years from the risky age of 35. What did she have to worry about?
[Host, have you decided to give up on it?]
Gu Shishi nodded then shook her head. “No, giving up. Just going to let things take their natural course. I don’t want to force him into it nor am I in a rush to do it either. We don’t have to have a kid now.
“I just want him to be happy.”
[Host. I will give you one more chance. Once you give up on it, the assignment might not appear again.]
Gu Shishi’s eyes widened.
“Stop with the nagging!”
Giving up on the assignment only meant she was giving up on the reward!
What’s the big deal about it?
So what she wasn’t even prettier than she already was? Ahem, beauty is certainly important… but how to achieve it matters too.
“I don’t want to force him into anything that would make him unhappy. He already has a mother and brother the way that they are. Just the thought of forcing him into something like that is enough to make me want to cry.
“As the boss had said, it is all about the strategy!”
She was a quick learner.
“I think he’s more important than a child that doesn’t yet exist.
“Hmm, that’s right. He’s number one and everything else is secondary. As such, I am giving up on this assignment.
“In addition, the two of us can have some quality time together as well. Nothing wrong with that~”
Gu Shishi successfully made the system wordless.
She felt very accomplished!
What she didn’t know was that a man was standing by the door, his back straight like a tree, and he stood there motionlessly for a long, long time.
Gu Shishi was just about to stand up and go visit the study when she was interrupted by another text.
[Gu Wushuang: Sister Shishi, have you heard about what happened with Dad? Let’s meet up and have a chat. Tomorrow at noon. Lunch is on me.]
Take her out to lunch?
She meant a confrontation?
No way she was going to go to that.
Gu Shishi didn’t even need to think about it.
Wasn’t it much better to eat with her domineering cutie at home?
Wasn’t it much better to eat while listening to gossips?
Why would she make a special trip to dine with the manipulative Shuang?
Was the purpose to look for troubles for herself?
Gu Shishi tossed her cellphone to the side.
She didn’t want to have indigestion.
The man, who was standing outside of her room, pushed open the door and walked inside and happened to see her tossing her phone aside.
What he had heard from outside her room, combined with her action of tossing her phone aside, made his dark eyes deepened.
“Are you on the phone?” asked Huo Sishen as he walked inside.
It was rare for him to ask.
He was not in the habit of butting into her personal life.
Gu Shishi was taken aback a little and had no idea why he asked.
But, now that he has asked, she nodded docilely and said, “Yeah, just chatting with a friend.” As she sat down on the bed nervously and pushed her cellphone further away.
She wished desperately to remove the chat log between her and Huo ChuChu from earlier.
“We are just chatting.”
Big Boss Huo didn’t like her listening to stories about the homewrecker.
He tried a few times to stop Sier just the other day.
She didn’t want him to find out that she had repeated all of them to his precious little sister Chuchu and, on top of that, they had a wager of when the homewrecker would have a second child and Gu Wushuang, who had her eyes on the Gu’s fortune was crying from anger.
Hmmm…
Naturally, she would not let the boss find out that she had called Chuchu up to gossip with her, thought Gu Shishi to herself wisely!
