Gu Sisi didn't want to stay any longer either. She took off her gloves.
"But I don't want to."
"Why don't you give me a chance?" Jiang Lihao grabbed her all of a sudden.
Gu Sisi didn't say a word and broke free. She had made herself very clear.
Although Yang Qian seemed calm on the surface, she was actually freaking out inside.
They didn't even try to avoid her! How was she supposed to face this? What expression should she put on?
Although she was having all these thoughts, they were of no use because Gu Sisi just grabbed Yang Qian and left.
After a while, Gu Sisi suddenly let go of her and squatted on the ground.
Yang Qian struggled a bit and then gently squatted down too. She asked, "Sister Sisi, what's wrong?"
"Nothing. Just let me be quiet for a while," Gu Sisi replied in a muffled voice.
She had never expected such a situation. Whether it was the previous confessions or his persistent pursuit, Gu Sisi had thought it was just his dependence on her. But now, he said he knew she was married and still wanted to pursue her?
Gu Sisi couldn't figure out what he was thinking. Her fingers holding the phone turned blue. She wanted to tell Huo Cheng, but didn't know how to start.
After a long silence, Gu Sisi stood up. Forget it. Just take one step at a time!
Huo Cheng knew about it anyway.
"Sister Sisi," Yang Qian called out again. After holding it in for so long, she couldn't help it anymore. She couldn't just act like nothing had happened!
"What was that all about just now?"
She was more curious than jealous. After all, she had only met Jiang Lihao a few times, and it was hard to say she liked him.
Gu Sisi sighed and stood up.
The two of them didn't know how they had walked to a secluded place. There were big bushes and some small flowers around, making it seem quiet and unique.
Gu Sisi originally didn't want to tell more people, but she had no one else to share with, so she told Yang Qian everything.
Yang Qian covered her mouth. "So he got injured while saving someone and then became dependent on you."
Gu Sisi nodded. This was also the reason why she felt so guilty.
But guilt couldn't help her handle their relationship properly in the face of his repeated confessions!
"What should we do then?" Yang Qian pounded her hand. "He wants to pursue you, and it's hard for you to reject him. Even if you do, he'll keep coming after you. I'm going crazy."
Yang Qian finally came to a dead - end in her thinking.
After that.
Jiang Lihao knocked on Gu Sisi's door.
"I heard you haven't been feeling well recently. I specially found a recipe and cooked this. Try it," he said.
Gu Sisi looked at the bowl of black stuff he was holding and firmly refused, "No need."
She closed the door.
She was in good health anyway.
"I bought some snacks. Do you want them?" Jiang Lihao came back in a hurry from outside.
Gu Sisi was sitting on the sofa. She just looked up for a moment and then closed the picture album in her hand.
"No, I don't want to eat."
However, despite Gu Sisi's firm attitude, Jiang Lihao kept on insisting and even tried harder.
"I got these hairy crabs through someone. If you don't want them, I'll throw them away. Anyway, they're for you," Jiang Lihao looked at Gu Sisi with puppy - like eyes. Gu Sisi turned her head, knowing she couldn't give in.
But...
This couldn't go on like this forever!
"Damn it. Don't throw them away. I'll eat them," Yang Qian suddenly popped up from somewhere. She quickly grabbed the crabs and ran towards the kitchen. It was a great addition to her meal. She was overjoyed.
"I've got two tickets for an art exhibition. Let's go together," Jiang Lihao persisted in pestering Gu Sisi.
When Yang Qian saw the tickets, she knew it was bad. Sure enough, there was full of entanglement and struggle in Gu Sisi's eyes.
No, if she didn't step in, something would go wrong.
She snatched the tickets away and said with a big smile, "Give them to me. I also want to go. Let me go with Sister Sisi. What do you think?"
Yang Qian looked at Gu Sisi. "Sister Sisi, what do you think?"
Jiang Lihao looked at his empty hand. His face turned black. He snorted and left.
Yang Qian's heart was still pounding. She felt like she was constantly taking risks. Wouldn't she be put on his blacklist?
Would he come and take revenge on her when no one was around?
No, she had to rely on Sister Sisi. Seeing Gu Sisi leaving, she quickly chased after her.
"Sister Sisi, wait for me. Let's go to the art exhibition together later."
After that, Yang Qian got more and more skilled at doing such things. Sometimes, even when Jiang Lihao prepared things for three people, she would take two shares, leaving him no chance to get close to Gu Sisi.
Until one time, he angrily threw out a sentence, "Fine, you're really something."
Then he left.
Yang Qian curled her lips. She had gained weight these days, and she didn't even complain. What was he so angry about?
"Sisi, I want to talk to you." In the evening, when Gu Sisi had already changed into her pajamas, he knocked on the door.
He deliberately chose this time so that he wouldn't be obstructed by that woman who always came out of nowhere.
"I..."
Gu Sisi was also in awe. Why was this guy still so persistent? Wasn't her attitude clear enough?
"Sisi," a voice came from behind Jiang Lihao.
The door opposite opened. Huo Cheng was wearing his pajamas and standing at the door. Although he didn't have the imposing manner from the day, the pajamas made him look a bit lazy.
He waved. "Come here. Sleep with me."
Gu Sisi swallowed hard. She was a bit surprised that Huo Cheng would step in. After all, she knew that Huo Cheng had a knot in his heart about this matter because they were brothers.
Seeing that Gu Sisi didn't move, he walked over, entered the room, put his arm around her waist, glanced at the room, and looked at her with lowered eyelashes. "Move over here."
Gu Sisi's mind was in a mess. She let Huo Cheng put his arm around her and walk towards the door, but was stopped by Jiang Lihao.
"Why?"
"Husband and wife," Huo Cheng replied simply and even casually.
Jiang Lihao clenched his fists but was powerless. Watching the door opposite close, he turned his head and saw Yang Qian.
She quickly raised her hands. "Just passing by. Really just passing by. I'm hungry and came to see if there's anything to eat in the living room. Really."
Yang Qian was really scared by his look. She made a surrender gesture.
Jiang Lihao didn't say anything else. He just took another look at Huo Cheng's door and then went back to his room.
Hearing the door close, Yang Qian quickly patted her chest.
She almost suspected that if Jiang Lihao found out she had heard their conversation, he might even kill her to cover it up.
That scary look. She needed to eat more to calm her nerves.
...
The next day, unexpectedly.
Jiang Lihao moved out early in the morning without waking anyone up.
A look of nervousness flashed across Gu Sisi's face. She asked Huo Cheng, "Nothing bad will happen, right?"
Huo Cheng stood up from the dining table, patted her on the shoulder, and said softly, "I'll handle this. You don't have to worry."
Putting on his suit jacket, Huo Cheng walked outside and got into the car that the driver had prepared.
With a step on the accelerator, the car sped away.
Gu Sisi sighed.
"What's wrong, Sister Sisi?" Yang Qian asked curiously as she swallowed, seeing Gu Sisi standing in front of the window.
Gu Sisi knew that the direction Huo Cheng was going was not the company but Jiang Lihao's residence.
"Nothing," she shook her head and sat back down.
