“One way or another, he likes you. That’s for sure.”
The Qin’s sister looped back and summarized what they have said.
The three of them enjoyed their afternoon tea as they chatted.
Finally, Gu Shishi returned to the mansion happily with the conclusion of “The boss likes me” and “I must work harder.”
She couldn’t be any happier.
The boss’s psychological issue would be easy to resolve.
She had added the Qin’s sister on her WeChat, along with Qin Ruhai’s.
She texted Qin Ruhai on her way back.
[Dr. Qin, I’d like to give Mr. Huo a gift. Do you have any suggestions?]
Qin Ruhai was startled when he received the text.
He didn’t expect that things would progress so quickly between the two of them.
But his gossipy desire was lit up. Right when he was dying from curiosity, his sisters were home.
When they returned home, they brought with them a new set of gossips.
“That was true love from Big Brother Huo. He booked the entire theater for us.”
“He even booked a coffee shop for our afternoon tea. One that was raved about online recently.”
“Oh, little brother, have you ever done so much for a girl when you were in love?”
“I think you can start preparing for wedding gift. Miss Gu seems to care about Big Brother Huo a lot as well.”
What he heard from his sisters made Qin Ruhai happy.
“Right? Right? I told you. He had fallen!”
“Kekeke, his fiancée just called me and asked me what she should get him as a gift.”
The two sisters were pleased as well and joined into the Qin’s army of gossip.
They have got nothing else going on and their own relationships weren’t going anywhere. So it’d be nice if the relationships of others around them could work out!
In short, they still believed in love.
The three of them immediately formed a chat group and grabbed Gu Shishi with them.
Group name: Eat Melon Sweetly.
The three siblings even changed their WeChat aliases.
Older Sister Qin — #1 Audience
Qin Ruhai – #2 Audience
Younger Sister Qin – #3 Audience
Gu Shishi, who was dragged into the group, “……”
[#1 Audience: Shishi, truth be told. My relationship is not working out and I am considering a divorce recently. I am going to need some sweet melon to cheer me up.]
[#3 Audience: Shishi, truth be told. I’ve witnessed my sister’s entire relationship and am scarred. Let me have some warm dog food so I can revive my faith in love.]
[#2 Audience: Sister Shishi, truth be told. I have been tortured by the dick Huo Sishen for years. I am begging you to tame him quickly! Save me! Let me be happy for once!]
And what else could Gu Shishi possibly say?
She had no idea what to say.
Shortly, the Qin siblings started plotting strategies for her.
[#1: Take him on a trip. The nature is always good for healing.]
[#3: You can talk to Huo ChuChu. She knew a lot about her brother’s childhood. You can work the angle of what he liked in the past.]
[#2: Shishi, just go and ask him directly what are good gifts for men! You will never be able to guess what is on his mind. Really. Trust me!]
Gu Shishi thought about it some and agreed with Qin Ruhai the most.
She would just ask him point blank.
For others, that might not be a surprise.
But the tsundere boss was in no shortage of surprises. What he really needed was the feeling that someone cared about him.
Even so, she still searched through online apps using the term “gifts for him” and send them all of the chat group to the three siblings.
She needed to at least give the boss a guideline to pick from.
As such, their chatgroup was filled by pictures and links all of a sudden.
***
When Huo Sishen came home from work, he saw Gu Shishi sitting on the couch, texting someone with a goofy smile on her.
His long legs paused immediately for a fraction of a second.
Before he continued to walk past her expressionlessly.
As though she was tired from typing, she started using voice chat.
“Dr. Qin, what do you think about this tie? Which one is better? This hunter green one or the greyish silver one?”
“Oh right, of the watches that I have shared earlier. Which one do you like the best?”
