Huo Cheng frowned, his eyes turning dark like a charming whirlpool slowly spreading out.
Gu Sisi sniffed and decided to go all out. "If you don't agree, I'll tell others about that night. By then, all the national media will know that you were... well, you know, by a woman!"
Huo Cheng locked eyes with her for a few seconds before silently looking away. He was itching to do to this woman what she had implied.
Seeing that he was about to leave, Gu Sisi panicked and grabbed his arm. "Where are you going?"
"I'm going to get your contract. I'll show you what it means to break the contract." Huo Cheng's voice was calm and unhurried. Before he could finish, Gu Sisi stomped hard on his foot.
She must have been out of her mind to think she had the bargaining chips to negotiate with Huo Cheng.
Seeing her instantly deflated look, all listless, Huo Cheng smiled, though his voice remained cold. "Or you could choose to hire me."
"No way!" Gu Sisi refused flat out. She wasn't stupid. This guy's appearance fee would probably empty half of her savings. He'd never clip her fluttering wings.
In fact, that was exactly what Huo Cheng had in mind. If he got his hands on her money, he'd see how long she could keep acting all high - and - mighty.
Gu Sisi didn't hesitate and turned to leave. "If you won't go, I'll find Chen Fang!" Her tone was just like a spoilt kid shouting that they'd go find their mom.
Chen Fang was Huo Cheng's personal assistant.
"Don't you dare!" Huo Cheng's face darkened instantly. "If you do that, it'll look like you're having an affair!"
Break her legs?
Gu Sisi clenched her fists, ready to fight Huo Cheng, the "eagle", like a little chick.
Huo Cheng took a step closer, his deep gaze fixed on Gu Sisi. Watching her shrink under his stare, he said, "Scared I'll eat you up?"
Gu Sisi nodded, then shook her head, and finally got all confused. She almost fell for his tricks.
Huo Cheng grabbed her hand and pulled her towards him. Suddenly, he said, "I actually do want to eat you up..."
Whoosh!
Before he could finish, Gu Sisi broke free from his grasp and took a half - meter step back. "I'm warning you, don't do anything stupid!"
Huo Cheng was both angry and amused, a bunch of virtual black lines on his forehead. How on earth did he end up with this little drama queen?
In the evening, a black Bentley pulled up in front of the Lijing Hotel.
The car door opened, and out stepped Huo Cheng, looking noble and handsome in a royal blue suit, with Gu Sisi in a white lotus - patterned dress on his arm.
The white dress had a smooth cut, and on Gu Sisi, it made her look uniquely cute and charming.
"Walk slower," Gu Sisi said softly, complaining in a tiny voice. "The heels are a bit too high."
Huo Cheng put his arm around her slender waist, thinking that the high heels were just fine. At least they'd stop her from running around so much.
From afar, Zhao Wanru saw the man beside Gu Sisi. Her face instantly turned as white as a sheet. Wasn't that Huo Cheng? How did she end up with him?
A sense of unease welled up in her eyes. She hadn't thought this little girl had such tricks up her sleeve.
Gu Sisi also saw Zhao Wanru. She tightened her grip on Huo Cheng's arm and strode up to Zhao Wanru. "Congratulations, senior."
"Sisi, who is this..." Wen Xuanyang's face looked really bad. Just as he was about to say something, Zhao Wanru looped her arm through his.
"Congratulations to you too for finding such a good boyfriend," Zhao Wanru said with a hidden barb. "Now that you have a boyfriend, Xuanyang can focus on our wedding."
Gu Sisi got angry. This woman was clearly implying that she had something to do with Wen Xuanyang in front of Huo Cheng.
Just as she was about to retort, Huo Cheng replied calmly, "Sisi is still young. It's normal for her to do some immature things. We should thank you seniors for setting a good example."
Brilliant!
He was truly the right person she'd brought to save face. Gu Sisi couldn't help but give Huo Cheng a mental thumbs - up.
