After a busy morning, when it was lunchtime, thinking about the pile of design drafts she still had to draw, Gu Sisi felt extremely stressed.
She was eager to get back to the office to catch up on work, so she stuffed the rice into her mouth in big mouthfuls, her cheeks puffing out round.
"Sisi, eat slowly. Don't choke," Zhao Wanru said as she walked over on her catwalk and sat down opposite her. The strong smell of perfume instantly killed Gu Sisi's appetite.
Gu Sisi swallowed the rice in her mouth and asked indifferently, "What do you want?"
Back in school, this woman had always been sarcastic and always against her. She never thought that the man she had a crush on would be snatched away by this woman. She really wanted to beat her chest in frustration.
"I'm here to tell you that Xuan Yang and I are going to get engaged," Zhao Wanru said with a bright smile.
Gu Sisi ignored her and stuffed another mouthful of rice into her mouth.
"You've always liked him, haven't you?" Zhao Wanru leaned forward and said in a voice only audible to the two of them, "If it weren't for you, I wouldn't have even given him a second look. But I didn't expect him to be so gentle and considerate to me now."
Since they couldn't see eye to eye, Gu Sisi picked up her lunch box and walked away.
Zhao Wanru wouldn't let it go. She jumped in front of Gu Sisi again and said, "You've had a crush on him for so long. You fetched water and brought him meals, but he just didn't take a fancy to you. It must feel bad, right?"
"Aren't you being annoying!" Gu Sisi scratched her ear. She really wanted to swat this buzzing fly to death.
"Are you angry?" Zhao Wanru smiled even more brightly. "Gu Sisi, he's my man now. I can make him go east and he wouldn't dare go west. He's more loyal to me than a dog..."
The man she cherished like a treasure was being called a dog. Gu Sisi stared at her angrily and raised her hand to slap her.
Just as her hand was raised, Wen Xuanyang appeared.
Zhao Wanru panicked and threw herself into Wen Xuanyang's arms. "Xuanyang, it's all my fault. I knew Sisi didn't like me. I just wanted to invite her to our engagement party, but I didn't expect her to..."
Wen Xuanyang's face darkened. "Sisi, you're my best junior sister, but Awan is my fiancée."
It would be a lie to say that Gu Sisi didn't feel heart - broken seeing her crush protect the scheming woman. She laughed sarcastically. "Senior, have you forgotten the phone call last night? I already have a boyfriend. I won't bother you two."
A strange look flashed across Wen Xuanyang's face. "Sisi, you confessed your love to me the day before yesterday. Why did you get together with another man last night..."
"Senior Wen, don't keep bringing up my one - time confession for the rest of your life. Besides, you have a fiancée. You should care more about her, right?"
Zhao Wanru gritted her teeth in hatred. "Since that's the case, please bring your boyfriend to the dinner party."
"Sure," Gu Sisi readily agreed.
As if she couldn't find a man!
However, Gu Sisi regretted it after work. If she let Huo Cheng show up with her, wouldn't it expose their identities?
Last time, they almost got surrounded by reporters. Huo Cheng definitely wouldn't help her this time.
But she had boasted so much that she had to think of some remedial measures. After some thought, she decided to go to Huo Cheng's company to find him.
If she had known what was going to happen next, she would never have dared to go there even if she were killed.
As soon as she arrived at the Huoshi Office Building, she was kidnapped by a woman who looked like a secretary. A fruit knife was held to her neck.
"Sister, I... I'm here to find someone. You've got the wrong person!"
The secretary's eyes were filled with disappointment and despair, and the knife in her hand moved a bit closer to Gu Sisi's neck. "I want to see Huo Cheng! I want to ask him face - to - face what this woman has that I don't!"
She's crazy! Gu Sisi thought. She must have mistaken her for a rival in love.
Gu Sisi looked up at the bright and blinding sun. Maybe she wouldn't be able to see it soon.
"Sister, impulse is the devil. Let's talk this over. Please don't shake your hand!"
