Back at the villa.
Gu Sisi wriggled uncomfortably in the bed. Huo Cheng gently tucked the hair behind her ear, covered her with the quilt, and then left.
"Don't go," Gu Sisi murmured.
Huo Cheng shook his head, walked back in, put her hands under the quilt, and was about to leave again.
But after just a few steps, she grabbed his hand once more.
"Don't leave, Huo Cheng."
Huo Cheng turned around. Gu Sisi had her eyes tightly shut, but her hands stubbornly clutched his.
The next day.
Gu Sisi groggily opened her eyes. When she finally got a clear view of her surroundings, she found herself in Huo Cheng's arms.
"You? Us?" Gu Sisi's mind was filled with questions.
But when she opened her mouth, her hoarse voice startled her.
Huo Cheng sat up. His strong and well - built back came into her view. She averted her eyes slightly, not daring to look directly.
Her mind was desperately trying to recall what had happened yesterday! She was actually in Huo Cheng's bed.
When she finally realized the situation, wasn't this her own room? What on earth happened yesterday? She actually brought Huo Cheng to her room.
Moreover, this wasn't the first time!
"Yesterday..."
Huo Cheng had a blank expression on his face. He was buttoning up his white shirt one by one, leaving only the last one. His figure looked extremely slender. Gu Sisi quickly averted her gaze.
"I was drunk yesterday..." Gu Sisi said seriously.
Huo Cheng was tying his tie and glanced at Gu Sisi.
Gu Sisi felt a bit guilty but still held his gaze.
His magnetic voice rang out again, "I've already sent someone to fetch your luggage from your rental place."
"Oh," Gu Sisi nodded. So that's what happened. Then her eyes suddenly widened as she sat up in bed, "What?"
"You're in danger outside. I'm worried about you."
Gu Sisi was about to say something, but Huo Cheng's gentle words hit her ears like a marshmallow, making it hard for her to resist.
Huo Cheng looked straight into Gu Sisi's eyes. Gu Sisi was drawn in by his gaze. As she looked, her face flushed slightly.
"..."
Maybe it was Huo Cheng's gentle eyes that made her make a compromising decision.
"Sisi, why did you come back so soon!" Sure enough, early in the morning, Yang Qian came to find Gu Sisi and wailed.
"I was still waiting for breakfast, lunch, dinner... Oh no, I meant to say, I was waiting to spend more time with you!"
Gu Sisi was being shaken vigorously by her, so she had to shout, "Are you trying to kill me?"
Only then did Yang Qian stop. She pouted and sat in front of Gu Sisi.
"Okay, I'm just joking. But I'm really happy that you can move back."
Seeing the puzzled look in Gu Sisi's eyes, she said, "Think about it. You've been away from home. What if some little vixen tries to seduce your husband?"
Gu Sisi scratched her head. She really hadn't thought about it that much.
"Really?" Huo Cheng shouldn't be the kind of person who could be easily seduced... Well, actually, she wasn't quite sure.
Seeing the increasing hesitation on Gu Sisi's face, she concluded, "It's very likely. A single man and a single woman are most likely to have something happen. With you not at home, there must be some little temptress taking advantage of the situation."
Yang Qian's words left Gu Sisi dumbfounded.
However, since she had moved back, she might as well just go with it for now.
Thinking of the photos on her phone, her eyes dimmed.
After much thought, she took the initiative to call the other end, "You want money. I can give it to you. How much do you want?"
"Money?" There was a cold laugh from the other end. Zhao Wanru was playing with the key in her hand. Her slender fingers were gesturing in the air. "Miss Gu, it seems you didn't understand my words."
Gu Sisi fell silent.
"Or are you simply not following my instructions?"
Originally, Gu Sisi wanted to defend herself, but there was really no point.
Until the other person said, "Let's see if you can bear the consequences then."
Then the call ended.
Gu Sisi took a deep breath. She could only wait and see.
"Hey, isn't this Miss Gu?" Peng Die came in from the bathroom and took out her cosmetics to apply on her face.
Gu Sisi didn't have the energy to bicker with her and was about to go out.
"Yo, hooking up with a rich guy really makes a difference." Peng Die turned around and leaned against the sink. "Once you've climbed up the social ladder, you really don't care about us little sparrows anymore."
"What?" Gu Sisi was amused by her words.
Peng Die rolled her eyes, turned around again, and re - lined her eyebrows.
"I'm just jealous of someone who's living a carefree life. What else could it be?" Through the mirror, Peng Die looked at the person behind her, sized her up and down, and curled her lips.
"Why didn't I see your Xiaozhao today? Could it be that he's getting tired of you?" Peng Die said half - jokingly, but her tone was full of glee.
If Gu Sisi had said yes, she might have jumped up.
But Gu Sisi just found it extremely ridiculous. She didn't give her another look and turned to leave.
"Humph, what's so high and mighty about her?"
