"That's good," Jiang Lihao said before sitting down. He sized up the whole house like a lord.
"Your place? Not bad."
Gu Sisi had been about to complain. Maybe due to lack of sleep, all she could think about was arguing. She wanted to say, "Yeah, after all, it's your friend's place." But what came out was, "Well, thank you for the compliment."
Rationality prevailed. Gu Sisi munched on an apple, feeling that her thought process was a bit off today.
Maybe she should just get rid of him first!
"Are you free today? I'll take you out," he said while Gu Sisi was still lost in thought.
"No," Gu Sisi replied listlessly.
But he didn't give her a chance to refuse. He pulled her out.
Once outside, Gu Sisi managed to break free. She rubbed her slightly aching arm, secretly regretting her decision to send everyone away. She thought it would have been better if everyone had seen this and he would have lost face.
It was all because of her impulsive decision that she was now dragged to this place.
She looked around and found that they were in a park.
"What are you bringing me here for?" Gu Sisi was still massaging her arm that had been grabbed painfully.
"Come on, let's go in and take a look," Jiang Lihao said, pushing Gu Sisi on the back. Helplessly, Gu Sisi had no choice but to follow his lead.
Forget it. If it could help with his condition, her little sacrifice didn't matter. After thinking it through, Gu Sisi followed him for most of a lap.
"What are you looking for?" Gu Sisi had been following him for about an hour.
"Wait a minute," Jiang Lihao said, looking at the scene in front of him and then checking the time. "It'll be here soon."
Gu Sisi had no choice but to drag her tired legs forward. She was getting weaker and weaker. At the same time, she was grateful that she had eaten breakfast, otherwise she would have fainted for sure.
While Gu Sisi was lost in her own thoughts, he grabbed her shoulders with both hands and whispered softly, "We're here. Stay right here and don't move."
With that, he ran away. Watching his back as he left, Gu Sisi just realized that she was standing on a bridge. The lake water was very clear.
There was even a group of ducks swimming by. At this moment, her phone vibrated. Gu Sisi quickly answered it. It was Huo Cheng.
"At home?"
Gu Sisi was just about to deny it when suddenly she saw fireworks explode in the sky. They didn't look much in the daytime, but the "bang" sound still gave Gu Sisi a big scare.
"What's wrong?" Huo Cheng's worried voice came from the phone.
Suddenly, a voice rang out in the park, "Gu Sisi, I like you."
After the commotion, the park returned to calm, but at this moment it seemed a bit quiet.
Gu Sisi didn't know when the call on the other end was hung up. She quietly slipped away.
She rushed home in a hurry and called Huo Cheng, but there was no answer.
"Madam," Sister Hu greeted her.
Gu Sisi quickly grabbed her hand. "Where's Huo Cheng?"
Sister Hu looked a bit confused and pointed upwards. "He just came back. Madam, he should be upstairs."
"Okay, I see." Gu Sisi quickly ran upstairs. She knocked on Huo Cheng's door. When she pushed it open, there was no one there. She rushed to the study in a hurry, knocked a few times, and then pushed it open.
Sure enough, Huo Cheng was sitting at the desk.
At this moment, Gu Sisi hesitated. She didn't know how to start.
Was she supposed to explain? Gu Sisi was annoyed with herself. Why did she go out with Jiang Lihao!
Now it was all messed up. No matter how she explained, it would sound strange.
"Listen to me," Gu Sisi swallowed hard.
Huo Cheng also lifted his head from the documents in front of him and stared at Gu Sisi.
She really couldn't think of a better reason. So she stopped thinking and just closed her eyes and let herself speak randomly.
"It wasn't what you thought just now. I think Jiang Lihao must have misunderstood because of his amnesia. But you mustn't misunderstand. There's nothing between us before."
Gu Sisi looked miserable.
Huo Cheng sighed and pulled Gu Sisi into his arms. He rested his head on top of hers and said in a muffled voice, "I know, but I don't know how to handle this either."
Gu Sisi looked up with a glint in her eyes. "He must not know that we're married. How about we tell him our relationship?"
This was the only solution Gu Sisi could think of at this moment.
It was also the only option she had.
Huo Cheng shook his head and walked away. He turned his back to Gu Sisi. "No. The doctor said we can't give him too strong a stimulation. We don't know how intense his feelings for you are."
"Then what should we do?"
This solution was rejected. Gu Sisi couldn't think of anything else. Should she avoid him from now on?
"I'll figure it out. If he confesses to you again, just find an excuse to put him off. Don't deny or affirm it."
"Okay." Since it was related to his condition, Gu Sisi calmed down a bit.
This matter was much more complicated than she thought.
The next day, Gu Sisi found out what Huo Cheng's solution was.
She saw Yang Qian. Yang Qian rushed over and hugged her, crying with joy. "Sister Sisi, I heard you haven't been feeling well recently."
"Huh?" Gu Sisi was confused.
"So, Mr. Huo specifically gave me a vacation and asked me to take care of you with pay," Yang Qian whispered in Gu Sisi's ear.
At this moment, Huo Cheng also got up from the sofa. He folded the newspaper and said casually, "I'll go to work then."
"Take care, Mr. Gu," Yang Qian shouted with a smile.
"Take care, Young Master," the others in the villa said with their heads down.
When the sound of the car starting gradually faded away, Yang Qian frowned and sized up Gu Sisi. "Sister Sisi, it's true. You look thinner."
"I..."
Gu Sisi couldn't defend herself. She had indeed not been eating or sleeping well these days, so she had lost some weight. But it wasn't to the extent that she was in bad health.
She felt a bit guilty for no reason.
"Then, Sister Sisi, can I stay here tonight?"
Yang Qian asked this question. It should be that when Huo Cheng told her, he had already told her to stay for a while. So she asked like this. Gu Sisi had a vague guess.
"Of course you can," Gu Sisi replied with a smile.
"That's great," Yang Qian said, hugging Gu Sisi. She looked a bit self - reproachful. "Last time when I saw you, I even asked you when you were going back to work. I didn't notice that your health was so bad at all. If only I had noticed earlier."
"It's not your fault," Gu Sisi said, pulling her away.
Then she called Sister Hu.
"Sister Hu, arrange a room for her," Gu Sisi said.
"Yes," Sister Hu replied.
Then Sister Hu led Yang Qian to choose a room.
It was much quieter. Gu Sisi let out a sigh. At the same time, she was thinking about the current situation. She had no idea how things had developed like this.
"Why didn't you answer my call?" Jiang Lihao rushed in for some reason, scaring Gu Sisi, who was drinking water, and she choked.
There was also a little girl who came in with him. She lowered her head and apologized. "Sorry, Madam. I couldn't stop him."
"It's okay, it's okay," Gu Sisi said, grabbing a handful of tissues and wiping the wet spots.
Seeing this, several people rushed over and helped Gu Sisi wipe in a hurry. But they made it even messier.
"Forget it, you can go down first," Gu Sisi said with a straight face.
At this moment, Sister Hu also came down. Yang Qian behind her was stunned when she saw the person coming.
"Are you here to see Mr. Huo?" Yang Qian was no longer as shy as before when she saw him. Now she was much more generous.
Seeing that Gu Sisi still hadn't given him a reply, he glanced at the girl who had spoken.
He asked impatiently, "Who are you?"
