After Gu Shishi was done with the disinfection, she had already started spacing out.
She didn’t hear any of the yak yak yak that was going on.
Huo Sishen, on the other hand, nodded for a change after the last thing that Mother Gu had said.
That was exactly right. Nobody would be able to save her then. He would catch her and bring her back no matter where she tried to escape to.
Seeing the nod from Huo Sishen, Mother Gu became even happier. “As such, even if you are divorced temporarily, you will still be man and wife.
“All you will be missing is a marriage certificate but Wushuang will be able to live a healthy life!”
“Do you agree, Young Master Huo?”
At that very moment, Huo Sishen was just enjoying the hint of rose scent from his little delicate wife and one of his hand was twirling her long and smooth hair behind her back.
He didn’t need to think about it at all.
“No, I disagree.”
“… …”
Mother Gu was stunned a little. Then what was that nodding earlier?
All that talking was all wasted?
“Shishi?”
After handling the boss and feeling that his mood has recovered, Gu Shishi had already relaxed completely.
She was leaning up against the couch playing with her Mr. Love: Queen’s Choice.
She just drew a card randomly and it was a SP card. How lucky was that?!
“Huh?”
She looked dumbfounded hearing her name out of the blue?
“What? Huh?”
Mother Gu gritted her teeth and could feel her anger began to rise.
Gu Shishi looked back down and carried on drawing tools that she would need to upgrade her SP.
“Aunty, you are wasting your time. They will not agree to it no matter what you say!”
Huo Wencheng was still a rational one even at times like this.
He was not fully convinced by the fortune teller but, for the safety of his loved one, even if it was just a very remote possibility, he was willing to give it a try.
Nevertheless, all that time since he had stepped inside this place, he could see it clearly now. Let it be Huo Sishen or Gu Shishi, they had no emotional attachment to Gu Wushuang. She was but a stranger to them and there was no way they would be willing to do anything for her.
“Alright, Big Brother, just be frank here. What is it that you want? Name your price, as long as it is within my means.”
Huo Wencheng sounded like a hero.
Even Mother Gu gave him an appreciative look.
He certainly looked like he was willing to sacrifice anything for Gu Wushuang.
“Does that include the rights to inherit the Huo’s?”
A hundred years of work by their ancestors and now they all ended in the hands of a brainless man.
It was just a matter of time before they lose everything.
Huo Wencheng stiffened.
Huo Sishen snickered, “Exactly what else do you have that you can put on the table?”
Ironically, even that wasn’t his merit.
So he was willing to give up everything for a woman the way that a moth would fly into the fire. But everything that he had to give, he had gotten from someone else.
“Young Master Huo! You know that is impossible!” screamed Mother Gu.
She wouldn’t agree to that even if Huo Wencheng would.
Huo Wencheng needed to be able to make Wushuang happy after they were wedded. What was Wushuang to do if the Huo’s were handed over to someone else? She would have to suffer!
“That’s not a decision that Wencheng can make on his own. This involves the entire Huo family, your mother….”
Huo Sishen gave her a look of contempt.
“Well, I’m glad you are aware of that.”
His stern voice was filled with sarcasm.
“If you don’t have what it takes then stop with the big talk.”
Huo Wencheng’s handsome face was twisted.
He clenched his fists.
Huo Sishen was right that he couldn’t say it!
How could he give up his rights on succeeding the Huo’s businesses?
In the past dozen or so years, his mother had always told him to study hard, work hard, and be prepared to take over the company!
He did not have a carefree childhood nor did he have all the time in the world to waste away. He had spent all of his time on learning to run the company. He had given up so much just so that he wouldn’t be looked down upon by the upper management at his company.
His beloved girlfriend on one side and the goal that he had been working toward for 10 years on the other.
How was he to choose?!
