“Hmmm… truth was, this is a list of my wishes,” said Gu Shishi as she sat in front of the dinner table, her head lowered, twisting a tip of her clothes.
“It was a few things…. among others, that I have always wanted to try since I have seen them on television.”
Huo Sishen lifted his brows and looked squarely at the girl in front of him with his dark eyes.
Wishes.
Qin Ruhai was right.
“Mmm.”
He nodded.
Last night, she had become his woman.
Besides, he had already decided that he would fulfill all of her wishes and always create new ‘reasons for her to live’.
She was like a bud waiting to bloom; this was the best time of her life.
She was so perfect.
And should not have any regrets.
“Come over here.”
Huo Sishen pointed at the spot next to him.
His long and slender finger held onto the silver fork and rolled up the spaghetti in the most elegant manner. He was like a natural-born noble.
Gu Shishi nodded and docilely followed his order and scooted over to the spot he had indicated while holding onto her skirt.
She might look calm from the outside but her heart was thumping out of her chest.
But…
“Boss!”
Siyi accidentally bumped open the door.
He stopped himself with a second.
Over the dinner table, Miss Gu, no, Boss Lady, was eating a strand of spaghetti and the other end was held inside his boss’s strong and sturdy mouth.
The strand of spaghetti… that the two of them were eating were tangled up altogether.
His boss, who never had any expressions on him, his head tilted and he was about to plant his lips on hers!
“! ! !”
Siyi immediately took a step back!
“Hey, hey, hey, Siyi. Hurry up and get inside. If you can’t relate the message, I will.” Came Qin Ruhai’s voice.
When he pushed Siyi over and squeezed inside, another man was stunned on the spot.
Qin Ruhai had turned into the second statue right then and there.
As soon as Gu Shishi heard the chime from the system indicated her success, she was immediately startled by these two and bit off the spaghetti. She backed away a little, embarrassed.
“What is it?”
Huo Sishen frowned and his displeased voice resounded in the room.
“Don’t you know how to knock?”
Siyi scratched his head in embarrassment.
Qin Ruhai smiled bitterly. “It’s not my fault, Boss. Uh, it’s not Siyi’s either. You are the one who didn’t close the door completely.”
Siyi felt a cold breeze behind his neck but quickly returned to his solemn self.
“Boss, I have an urgent news to report to you.”
Siyi looked over at Gu Shishi with difficulty.
Huo Sishen, “Just say it.”
Siyi scratched his head again.
Helpless, he finally carried on. “The Gu’s are looking for Boss Lady… they said that Gu Wushuang’s surgery ran into complications and needed her to return to China immediately.”
Huo Sishen lifted his brows unhappily.
Even Gu Shishi was a little surprised, “They need me?”
She was not a donor that matched Gu Wushuang…
“What do they need me for?”
Siyi was a little hesitant and Qin Ruhai, next to him, already answered it for him.
“The Gu’s called and said the fortune teller looked at Gu Wushuang’s astrology. It was said that your luck conflicts with her and you will need to remain single for her to stay alive and get married.
“They wanted you to return…”
He laid out his hands and glanced over at Huo Sishen.
“Ahem, to get a divorce.”
Gu Shishi’s mouth dropped open.
She thought she had misheard.
How could there be people like them in the world?
Had they no shame?
It was beautiful next to the beach and the ocean looked green and blue from a distance as though paint had been spilled inside of it and blended into a gorgeous color.
Little waves were stirred up by the light breeze and, occasionally, a fish would swim pass the clear bottom of the ocean. Even a giant sea turtle swam past relaxingly with the movement of its four limbs.
It was beautiful on this island. Why would she want to go see those ugly people?
“No, I am not going.”
