Gu Shishi was a little baffled. Was he referring to the red wine girl who said he brought bad luck to everyone close to him?
However, her silly look was interpreted as an acknowledgment in the eyes of Huo Sishen.
She was his fiancée in name. She was the real daughter of the Gu’s who was just brought back into the family, so she had very loose relationships with others in this circle.
And now, because of him, the situation was made even worse for her. She was bullied by those people publicly.
Huo Sishen’s black eyes flickered.
He looked back over at Gu Shishi and she still had that nervous, foolish look on her.
“If the dress is ruined, have the butler buy you new ones.”
Gu Shishi looked up. She was very lost at the jump of the contents of their conversation.
Looking at her shocked expression, Huo Sishen looked down, his handsome face was expressionless.
“My previous offer still stands.”
Meaning she could take the bank card and get as far away from him as possible.
She’d continue to be ostracized if she stayed with him.
Gu Shishi blinked her eyes and, excitedly, said, “That you’d send me a red packet every day??”
Huo Sishen’s mouth twitched.
Idiot!
He closed his eyes and didn’t looked at the girl next to him for the rest of the car ride.
Siyi’s hands on the steering wheel jerked and the car almost spun out.
What was that now?
He was with the boss day in and day out. How come he didn’t know about that?
His boss has been sending Miss Gu red packets? Through WeChat?
And every day at that?!
Hot dang!
Siyi looked at Gu Shishi in the rearview mirror with the utmost respect.
No more words were exchanged as Siyi drove all the way back to the mansion with no incidents.
Gu Shishi docilely followed Boss Huo into the living room. She was just about to walk up to the second floor when she was stopped by Butler Lin.
“Miss, we have prepared some lunch at home. Would you like to have some?”
Gu Shishi was a little surprised. She had some food at the banquet. but the butler prepared lunch for her knowing that she went to attend a birthday banquet?
When she turned around, she saw Siyi standing behind her and subtly glanced over at the tall and handsome man in front.
Huo Sishen’s slender and tall body just happened to walk past her.
Gu Shishi gulped in that split second.
The boss was the one who told them to prepare lunch for her?
He didn’t just happen to be outside the banquet venue, but he went there and waited for her purposefully?
And that fact that she left early… gave him the impression that she didn’t have enough to eat?
Oh…..
It was a kind gesture for the boss!
Gu Shishi rubbed her belly and looked at the tall and slender body in front of her that has started blending into the darkness on the second floor. She wasn’t able to bring herself to say that she was already full.
“Um, okay…. Haha, I am quite hungry… Eh, Mr. Huo…”
Her cautious voice rang, and Huo Sishen paused.
Looking down from the second floor, he saw that her ten fingers that looked like green onions were already intertwined nervously.
“Would you like to join me?”
Huo Sishen frowned. Inside his head, he suddenly recalled the term “emotional violence” that Qin Ruhai brought up all the time.
Being distanced, ignored, and treated coldly; not being able to have the recognition of those around them in the overall environment would cause a lot of psychological damage over time.
It would likely bring about an inferiority complex and possibly depression. And she was just bullied today.
He was silent for a little bit. In a hoarse voice, he answered, “Alright.”
Siyi, along with Butler Lin, who was standing there with his hands crossed behind his back, both looked up at the same time, shocked!
