Most people got to know Huo Cheng from entertainment news.
All they knew was that he was rumored to be having an affair with Wen Meiling, an actress from their crew. But they never expected that he was actually involved with one of their staff members.
Moreover, it seemed that there was a more complicated story between them.
Wen Meiling stood there with a dark face, watching them. The audience saw this scene and were extremely excited.
Naturally, things didn't turn out as they had expected. There was no fight on the scene.
In fact, Wen Meiling didn't dare to start one now.
"You've got the wrong person," Gu Sisi said, looking down and avoiding Huo Cheng's eyes. She gently pushed his hand off her shoulder.
Huo Cheng looked at his empty palm, feeling a strange ache in his heart.
His large figure seemed rather lonely.
Ouyang Xin also noticed the situation at this moment. Everyone had gathered around, and they were now at the center.
"Excuse me, sir. Are you sure you've got the right person?" Ouyang Xin had been very busy recently and hadn't paid attention to anything outside of work.
Huo Cheng always kept a low - key profile and rarely exposed himself to the public. Besides, he was not deeply involved in this circle. So it was quite normal not to recognize him in this industry.
Huo Cheng didn't say a word. He just stared at Gu Sisi quietly, but Gu Sisi didn't respond to him.
There wasn't even a hint of anger that one would show after being misunderstood. Huo Cheng didn't know how to start a conversation.
"I've got something to do. I'll leave first," she said softly, as if whispering to Ouyang Xin.
Ouyang Xin glanced at Huo Cheng and understood why Gu Sisi was in such a hurry. He silently categorized Huo Cheng as a madman in his mind.
"Okay, go quickly!" Ouyang Xin nodded.
The two whispered to each other as if no one else was around.
An indescribable feeling welled up in Huo Cheng's heart. He stretched out his long hand. Just as he was about to grab Gu Sisi, a figure blocked his way.
"I don't care who you are, but you're harassing my apprentice now. I have to step in," Huang Fangjuan said, standing in front of Huo Cheng with an extremely angry look on her face.
Without Fangjuan having to say more, Gu Sisi left without even looking back. Her back seemed rather determined.
Huo Cheng ignored everything around him.
His sixth sense was getting stronger and stronger. His once - calm heart began to waver and feel restless.
Gu Sisi, who had turned around and was leaving, just wanted to calm down. She couldn't accept such a big change yet.
Maybe they both needed some time to cool off.
By then, the choice would be in Huo Cheng's hands. If he still chose Wen Meiling, she wouldn't hold any grudges.
They were all adults and should handle things like adults.
Gu Sisi was very rational. She didn't want everyone to watch a farce. She didn't have the energy for it, and the aftermath would be extremely troublesome.
Huo Cheng pushed the two people aside and grabbed Gu Sisi's shoulder.
He moved so fast that they didn't even have time to react.
The familiar feeling spread through Gu Sisi's whole body, but she suddenly trembled and her limbs stiffened.
She wanted to move forward, but the grip on her shoulder was so strong that she couldn't break free.
In these short few seconds, Gu Sisi felt as if it was an eternity.
"Give me some time," Huo Cheng's magnetic voice reached Gu Sisi's ears, as deep as a cello.
She didn't even have time to refuse. As soon as Huo Cheng finished speaking, he suddenly picked her up into the air.
"Ouch!" It was the audience who gave a reaction.
Gu Sisi instinctively wrapped her arms around Huo Cheng's neck. When she came to her senses and tried to struggle, Huo Cheng grabbed her hands.
"If you dare to struggle again, I'll kiss you right here in front of everyone," Huo Cheng whispered threateningly in Gu Sisi's ear.
The two looked at each other, and Gu Sisi saw the determination in his eyes. She knew that if she continued to struggle, Huo Cheng would definitely do it in front of everyone.
She didn't dare to take the risk and froze in Huo Cheng's arms.
Right under everyone's noses, the man rumored to be Wen Meiling's lover carried a staff member from their crew away.
Apart from being surprised, they were more shocked.
Such a dramatic scene actually happened outside of the drama. Even though they watched dramas every day, the real - life plot shocked them even more.
After all, they had seen it with their own eyes. And now Wen Meiling, the actress involved in the rumor, could only watch them leave in disbelief.
"Gu Sisi, I won't let you get away with this," she gritted her teeth.
Everyone was even more curious. There must be more to the story behind this scene.
Moreover, this once - glamorous woman had lost all her face in public because of that scene.
If the news in the newspapers was true, then this must be true too. It seemed that she was just one of his many lovers.
This would only make people look down on her. Although both women were involved with him, there was a huge difference between them.
The audience's gossipy hearts were burning with excitement, and they couldn't hide their eagerness on their faces.
Just then, Wen Meiling gave them a sideways look. The hatred in her eyes was almost palpable. Everyone calmed down a bit.
"If any of you dare to talk about what happened today, you won't be able to stay in this circle," Wen Meiling threatened.
After that, she turned around and left, her hand tightly pinching her palm. No one knew what she was thinking.
Xiaoying quickly followed her.
Everyone heaved a sigh of relief and started whispering to each other.
"Let me go!" Gu Sisi was thrown into the car by Huo Cheng. As soon as she landed in the passenger seat, Huo Cheng fastened her seat - belt and closed the car door.
He moved so fast that Gu Sisi didn't even have time to open the door and get out before Huo Cheng was about to drive off.
Huo Cheng didn't answer Gu Sisi's question. The car was silent.
Looking at the scenery outside, Gu Sisi calmed down as the views flashed by.
She didn't give up struggling. She just thought it was pointless.
Huo Cheng's eyes never left the road in front of him. He stepped on the accelerator as hard as he could, and the car sped down the road.
Soon, the car suddenly stopped at a place.
This time, it wasn't as forceful as before. After getting out of the car, Huo Cheng opened the door on her side and quietly waited for her to get out.
Gu Sisi looked out of the window. They had arrived in front of the Huo family mansion.
The memory of the last time was still fresh in her mind. Gu Sisi didn't know why Huo Cheng had brought her here. She hesitated for a moment before getting out of the car.
The car door slammed shut.
The sudden noise startled Gu Sisi. Then, Huo Cheng took her hand.
"Follow me," he said softly.
His lips brushed against Gu Sisi's earlobe, and she gently dodged. Looking at the place where she had once lived for a while.
Subconsciously, Gu Sisi chose to trust him because this place was too special.
Inside was the child she most wanted to get back.
