C22 Why Did You Come Here

"Mom, I'm still young. This matter cannot be rushed."

"How is it small? You've become an old maid! Your dad and I are already old, can't you let us save some snacks? "

Well, that's a bit bad.

"Oh yeah, how many days are you on leave this time?"

"Two to three days!" Gu Sisi pretended nothing had happened and stuffed another piece of fruit into her mouth. "The company's new project hasn't come down yet. It's just like I'm free."

"Alright, I'll give your Aunt Qiong a call later and ask her for her attitude towards you. At the same time, I'll have her arrange two more dates for you."

"Huh?" Gu Sisi complained incessantly, but the protest was ruthlessly rejected.

After a while the door opened again. "Your Aunt Joan said that the young man had a good impression of you. Why is there no contact? "

"Yes, yes?" Gu Sisi was a little confused. Jiang Li Hao had a good impression of her? It sounded like a fantasy.

She suddenly became quick-witted, and her IQ went online, "Mom, those are all kind words, don't believe me."

"You're pissing me off! If this is unsatisfactory, I will get your Aunt Qiong to introduce another one tomorrow. " Mother Gu immediately came to a decision.

Gu Sisi's face was creased into a piece of scrap paper. "Mom, you're afraid that I won't be able to get married."

"Isn't this for your own good as well?" Father Gu also walked in. With a single sentence, he had strangled Gu Si's thoughts of asking for help into the bud.

"Dad!" Gu Sisi stomped her feet in anger.

"It's useless to object."

Gu Sisi pouted in anger. "I'm not going anyway!"

"We have to go even if we don't want to!" With a cold expression, Mother Gu closed the door and left, "Don't think that I can't control you just because your wings are hard!"

Father Gu sighed. "You have to understand your mother as well. Many people in the neighborhood already knew of your rumors in the newspapers, so how could your mother not be worried?"

Speaking of which, Gu Sisi felt somewhat guilty. She had kept this matter a secret from her parents to prevent their peaceful life from being broken. She hadn't thought that it would affect them in the end.

After hesitating for a moment, she decided to confess to her mother.

He wouldn't be able to hide it anyway, so at least he wouldn't need to risk being caught by Huo Cheng to go on a blind date.

Hearing her words, Gu Mu's expression immediately turned ugly. "Just what is going on here?" You became someone else's fiancee? "

"That's just one reason. Besides, I don't want to go on a blind date." She lowered her head. She didn't say anything about the contract and the compensation. She was afraid that her mother would be worried.

"Tell me, have you made up your mind to marry this man for the rest of your life?"

"This... Mom, it'll be too late to think about it in the future. "

"If you don't make up your mind, then you're just messing around! This unreliable relationship should quickly end, and then we should find a proper family to marry off. "

Knock, knock, knock. Someone knocked on the door.

"Maybe your Aunt Qiong is here." Mother Gu hurriedly opened the door, but she didn't recognize the person at the entrance. "You are?"

He sized them up and found that they seemed a little familiar.

Huo Cheng put down the box in his hands and said seriously, "Hello, Auntie. I'm Huo Cheng. I came to see you on purpose."

Gu Sisi's heart trembled when she heard the voice. She hurriedly left the room and was so astonished that she didn't know what to say when she saw the person who came.

Why was a hundred thousand things spinning around in her mind? Huo Cheng had actually come to her house to look for someone, wasn't he afraid of being secretly filmed again?

Was he really here to seek her compensation?

"Sisi, you go in first."

Mother Gu pushed her inside the house and closed the door, while she stood outside and chatted with Huo Cheng.

Gu Sisi pressed her ear against the door and listened at the corner. She didn't expect the door to suddenly open. She staggered and fell into Huo Cheng's arms.

"Be careful." Huo Cheng righted her body, then half supported her into her house as if he was afraid she would fall again.

She wasn't sure if it was just an illusion, but she felt that Huo Cheng was a little different today, especially gentle.

"What are you doing here?" Gu Sisi asked in a low voice. She couldn't hold it in any longer.

"To see you." Huo Cheng blinked his eyes.

Eh, what does that mean? However, he didn't seem to be here to cause trouble for her, so the pressure on his mind eased a lot.

"Hello, uncle." Huo Cheng entered and took the initiative to greet them.

"You are?" It wasn't his fault that he didn't recognize Huo Cheng. His identity in the newspaper was too prominent, and it was hard to link him with the well-mannered young man dressed in casual attire in front of him.

Before Huo Cheng came, he had changed into casual clothes. He looked much more relaxed and young.

For now, at least, the effect was good.

"Please take a seat." Mother Gu told Huo Cheng to sit down, then pulled her husband into a nearby room to have a private conversation.

Gu Sisi was the only one left in the living room. She felt a little awkward and asked, "You, what do you want to drink?"

"White water is enough."

Gu Sisi hurriedly brought it over. After taking a sip from Huo Cheng, she asked, "What did you say to my mother just now?"

She was curious about this question, she hadn't heard their whispers just now.

"Naturally …"

Before he could finish, Mother Gu and Father Gu came over.

"Sisi, I've discussed this with your dad. Since he's your friend, let's go back after dinner!"

Gu Sisi looked at her 'friend' and nodded. "Alright."

They sat down in an awkward silence.

"Did you ask for a leave of absence?"

"Yes, uncle."

"Your company is so big, you should be very busy, why did you come here specifically?"

"The main reason is because I want to meet you two elders."

"..."

The three of them acted like they were in a press conference. Father and Mother Gu kept interviewing Huo Cheng, asking him questions in great detail.

What surprised Gu Sisi the most was that Huo Cheng actually answered all the questions honestly.

Gu Sisi let out a sigh of relief when she saw her parents' expression change from conflicted to relaxed.

"You two talk, your dad and I will go out to buy groceries." Two hours had actually passed after a round of conversation.

Gu Sisi only heard and yawned. She watched the two leave. The moment she turned around, she felt a sense of pressure on her.

"You?" Gu Sisi tried to push him away, but it was useless.

She lay down on the back of the sofa and tried to keep her balance with both hands. The longer she tried, the more she couldn't hold on.

"Huo Cheng, get up first."

"You still owe me an explanation." A warm and humid breath slipped past her ear. Gu Sisi felt an itch and shrunk back, wanting to rub away this uncomfortable feeling.

"Let me go." Gu Sisi protested in a low voice.

Huo Cheng couldn't help but feel angry when he saw her like this. He was just about to teach her a lesson when he suddenly thought of what Jiang Li Hao had said. Women were meant to be coaxed.

With one hand, he supported her back that was suspended in the air. With another exertion, Gu Sisi was pulled up by him.

"What are you doing!" Gu Sisi's face was slightly flushed, but her expression was clearly fuming.

"Are you angry?" Huo Cheng's playfulness exploded. He pinched her cheek, but ended up getting slapped by her.
