Chapter 351 – She isn't going to give them any wedding candies! They are hella expensive! (2)
She felt neither empty nor lonely.
But now that she was married and they had already gone all the way, so what if she wanted to ask if her husband has bathed?
Sure enough, Huo Sishen's voice had turned sexier. "What if I say I did?"
Gu Shishi gave him a stare. What nonsense.
Huo Sishen, on the other hand, felt a shock to his chest and found her look to be very seductive.
What kind of a gentleman would let the girl to take the initiative times and again?
Perhaps, he was wrong all along.
Okay, let it be then.
If she was to cry in the future, he'd woo her. He would make up to her by giving her the best of everything in the world.
"Whatever! I am going to bed now!"

Gu Shishi flipped open the blanket and crawled inside of it!
She scooted and scooted under the blanket like a butterfly larva and, quickly, there was a big lump under the blanket.
Hiding inside of the blanket, all was dark around her and half of her senses were blocked out.
As such, her tactile sensation had been greatly amplified.
Shortly, she felt a wide and board chest pressed up against her through the blanket. She could almost feel the burning sensation even through the blanket on her skin...
She shoved a little bit uncomfortably and the man's gentle sigh rang right up next to her ear.
"You are just going to seduce and run?"
His voice was hoarse and sexy, much like dry grass where a flame would be readily ignited at the sign of any little spark.
All of a sudden, Gu Shishi, who was balled up under the blanket, her stiffened body began to relax.
Boss Hou could say such suggestive words?
Who would have thought?
Once the lights were off, the man's skill was impeccable.
Gu Shishi felt hotness behind her ear and she kicked her calf a little in discomfort.
Another warm breathe was breathed onto her ear.
The blanket that was over her head was quickly pulled away from her and tossed aside, nowhere to be seen.
"You are a big girl now."
Gu Shishi perked up her ears quietly.
What was he talking about?
"You won't be able to get away in the future even if you cry."
His hoarse voice continued to ring next to her ear.
"I'll have to drag you back otherwise."
Gu Shishi's entire body turned red in the very next second.

Who was it who said an expressionless man couldn't be seductive??
What would you call this speech then?
He was killing her!!
"Hmm?"
He muttered.
And lifted her chin up with the tip of his fingers.
Gu Shishi kept her red lips tightly shut.
She couldn't let her lips part. She wasn't going to let him know how much she was enjoying this!
ARROOOO!
Huo Sishen could feel her entire body shivering but her body, had nevertheless, relaxed docilely.
He couldn't help but pressed his lips down onto hers while having one hand holding onto the back of her head.
[Beep! Happy Kissing triggered!]
[Beep! Bridehalo triggered!]
Gu Shishi gripped onto the pillow tightly.
Yes!
YES!!
If they were going to lose themsleves, they would lose it with each other!! So what?!
With the distraction, Gu Shishi never saw the text from Mother Gu. When she got up in the morning, she had all sorts of messages from banks, spams, and even a few messages from a few of the customer's chatrooms from the studio along with a few other random ones from WeChat.
Gu Shishi, who never had the habit of changing all of her notifications to "read" had, naturally, overlooked the message from Mother Gu.
Even if she had saw the name "Zheng Wen", she would possibly have glossed over it anyway.
How would she still remember the name of the mother of this body?
Mother Gu, who had their chauffeur dropped off Huo Wencheng and herself at the Gu's in the afternoon, finally noticed that something was off when they waited and waited and there was no Gu Shishi.
How to Restore Vision Without SurgeryiFocus
[Shishi, where are you? Do you need me to send the chauffeur to go pick you up?]
Chapter 352 – She isn't going to give them any wedding candies! They are hella expensive! (3)
Gu Shishi did not head into the studio and was home in the afternoon.
It was very simple. She was no longer needed at the art studio. Whenever Liu Li, the store managers saw her, she only wished she could put her up on a pedestal. That left Gu Shishi with nothing to do.
She had decided to just stay home until they found someone professional to take care of the management aspect of things.
It was time off for her that didn't come by easily anyway.
When Mother Gu was texting her, she was happily applying her facemask in the middle of the day while rolling around on the sheep rug in the lounge while reading shoujo manga that she had just purchased online.
Whenever she got to the exciting parts, she would even slap her hand on the table a few times!
When she heard the chime from her phone, she finally moved around a little on top of the sheep rug and rolled over to the end table that was next to the man who was allegedly on a conference call before long.
He didn't talk much. Most of the time he was just listening to his headphone.
Gu Shishi was still quite happy though, having someone there to keep her company when she slacked off at home.
She was not lonely and she had someone earning money for her.
How to Restore Vision Without SurgeryiFocus
That definitely made her happy.
She rolled over and reached over to her phone on the end table with her little arm. The fabric of her frilled top rose up some and half of her white waist was exposed.
The man who had been focused on his conference call saw that and his eyes dimmed a little.
He was distracted immediately.
He pulled her top back down and handed her her phone.
Just one glance and he could clearly see the message from WeChat.
He had a long face immediately.
"Eh? They are asking me to head home?"
Gu Shishi, too, saw the message when she had her phone in her hand.
"It isn't like everyday that I have a day off." She grumbled.
Huo Sishen stroked her on her head. "Then don't go."
He had no time for the Gu's bullsh*t.
They would only contaminate his ears.
"Okay~~"
That was Gu Shishi's thought as well.
She rolled to the other side decisively and handsomely tossed her cellphone to one side.
Truth be told, she was familial, but who it was mattered.
She for sure refused to be blindly familial.
Who would have thought that Mother Gu, who did not receive a response, called her directly on her phone!
Gu Shishi did not pick it up.
Half an hour later, Mother Gu, her eyes reddened from anxiously, was brought over to the Huo's by Huo Wencheng.
"Shishi, you won't even talk to Mom when I want to talk to you? Does that mean you are holding grudges and you hate and blame me? To the point that you don't even want to talk to Mom anymore?"*
How to Restore Vision Without SurgeryiFocus
Her voice broke and tears were streaming down her cheeks.
The scene was certainly very touching.
That being said, Gu Shishi, still holding her shoujo manga in her hand, only felt very awkward.
Not even some pleasantries and cutting straight to the chase?
That disgusted her!
Who could get into the mood so quickly?
"No, that's not true."
She never even thought of them as her own parents, so why would she hate or blame them?"
Nope. Not even a little bit.
Gu Shishi blinked. She then turned and tried to gestured Boss Huo who was standing behind her.
Do not give them any wedding candies!
They were hella expensive!
Gu Shishi only wanted to end this drama as soon as possible. She was just getting to the good part of her manga.
The female lead was just tossed into the bathtub by the male lead... Oh, what excitement shall ensue?
She wanted so badly to take a peek at it.
Mother Gu, on the other hand, didn't show any signs of wanting to leave. "Shishi, Mom had wronged you. Mom will apologize to you. I haven't been paying you enough attention lately but both you and Wushuang are my kids.
"You are married now and will have your own children in the future. Then you will understand how tough is the situation that I am in.
"One can't choose between the front and back of one's hand. Mom loves you but I also can't just ignore Wushuang.
"Can you really sit by and watch Wushuang die at such a young age? Shishi, Mom had wronged you but this has nothing to do with Wushuang. Why don't you help her out just this one time?"
Nobody was paying her any attention but that did not stop Mother Gu from performing her one-woman show.
Chapter 353 – "There is no way I will leave him, get it?" (1)
Huo Wencheng, naturally, played along with Mother Gu. Holding her upright, he, too, seemed to have some man's tear rolling down his cheeks.
"Big Brother, Wushuang is in the hospital right now waiting to have her surgery. She's only 22 years old, same age as Chuchu. Just think, if it is Chuchu who is lying in the hospital right now..."
Huo Sishen had only been an observer up to this point. When he heard that, he bellowed, "SHUT UP!"
What kind of an older brother would say that about their own sister?
Even Gu Shishi's eyes had widened. She felt that this Huo Wencheng had lost his mind. Was that caused by Gu Wushuang's spell on him?
"Big Brother! You would feel bad about that, right? You didn't even want to hear about that scenario, am I wrong??
"Wouldn't others parents or brothers not be pained by that? Don't you want to help someone?!"
"You — –"
Huo Wencheng didn't even get to finish what he was saying before Huo Sishen's foot made impact with his chest!
And he slammed back against the couch behind him!
How to Restore Vision Without SurgeryiFocus
"Big Brother..." said Huo Wencheng as he clutched his chest in disbelief!
"Stop with that already."
Huo Sishen's handsome face was icy cold. It was easy to tell that he was on the verge of going berserk.
"You don't have a big brother here.
"Nor do I have such a shameless little brother."
Gu Shishi nodded in agreement.
Glancing over at the boss, though, frightened her a little.
She cautiously reached out her hand and tugged at the corner of his shirt stealthily.
Huo Sishen looked down and saw a little face that seemed somewhat frightened.
He suddenly felt his chest tightened.
She was scared by his infuriated look?
He felt a pang of dull pain in his chest.
That made him stared at Huo Wencheng, now on the ground, even more fiercely.
Gu Shishi, on the other hand, tugged at his shirt again, trying to get his attention back.
"Don't be upset. Just treat that as gibberish.
"Does your foot hurt? You don't want to get it dirty. Do you want go back to your room and put on a new pair of slippers? Do you need to change out of your socks too?"
She had looked it up online and also consulted Qin Ruhai.
Huo Sishen had an extreme case of germaphobia and only wished he could disinfect every single person coming inside of his house.
He did not like others touching any of his possessions.
Huo Sishen's furious look froze on him instantly.
The dull pain in his chest turned miraculously into a tinging sensation, as though a feather was brushed over his chest.
Looking at his dazed look that was very different from his normal sharp self, Gu Shishi was all the more certain that what she thought was correct.
How to Restore Vision Without SurgeryiFocus
It was definitely his germaphobia!
Having thought of that, she immediately turned and stared angrily at Huo Wencheng who was now irritated from being embarrassed.
"Can't you just talk like a normal person?
"Why the heck did you stand in front of someone else's foot?
"Have you no manners?!"
Huo Wencheng almost spit out blood. He was kicked alright?!
He was just standing there and he was the victim!! Who was the one with no manners here?!
"How awful are you feeling right now?"
Gu Shishi tried her best to put herself in his shoes.
And immediately felt uncomfortable all over.
According to Qin Ruhai, someone with a severe case of germaphobia was like amplifying what a normal person would perceive as dirty by 100 times.
So, kicking someone would be like... someone spit inside of her beverage?
EW!
She immediately looked over at Huo Sishen anxiously. She noticed that he hadn't said a word; in fact, even his breathing seemed to be abnormal.
"Do you want to have a seat?"
Gu Shishi stroked the boss's chest anxiously.
Huo Wencheng, whose chest was hurting, suddenly felt that the pain had intensified! And there was a stuffy feeling in his chest!
Was this woman mocking him?!
Chapter 354 – "There is no way I will leave him, get it?" (2)
"Aunty Lin! Aunty Lin!
"Hurry and bring us a new pair of slippers please!
"And some disinfectant as well."
Huo Wencheng was furious.
Mother Gu, to one side, was stunned as she watched the events unfolded.
This was the very first time she witnessed her daughter interacting with her... son-in-law.
"Shishi, you and Young Master Huo have a good relationship."
Mother Gu's hand that was clutching her purse tightened a little before she stopped Huo Wencheng, who was about to say something, and started talking again
"You are pretty and he is handsome. The two of you make a good couple together. Shishi, you have married a good husband."
Huo Sishen had already been pushed down onto the couch by Gu Shishi and, for some unknown reason, had a cup of hot water shoved into his hands as well.
How to Restore Vision Without SurgeryiFocus
There was a somewhat... complicated look on him.
Hearing what Mother Gu was saying, he looked up at her.
She now looked less annoying than she did before.
What she had just said made him happier.
He was going to have Siyi tossed the two of them out earlier, but now... perhaps he would let her talk for a little while longer?
Huo Sishen was never one to force himself into doing something that he didn't want to do.
Quickly, he gestured the cancellation of having the two tossed out.
Siyi, who had come running over, stopped to one side and was baffled.
Mother Gu, on the other hand, was pleased that her words seemed to be working better than Huo Wencheng's.
It would seem like the two of them were still respectful to their elders.
"Young Master Huo, this is my first time meeting you as your mother-in-law.
"You have been very nice to my daughter. I could tell that right away."
A man, who would send someone flying, was paying attention to what she had to say. What could that be if not a form of respect for her?
Mother Gu immediately switched her strategy and gestured Huo Wencheng to remain silent.
Sure enough, Huo Sishen looked more relaxed after what she had just said.
He even gave Gu Shishi a look and there seemed to have some warmth in his cold eyes.
He was nice to her.
He wondered how long she would remember this for? And whether she truly understood.
She knew to voluntarily care for him today?
Huo Sishen took a sip of the hot water that was forced onto him.
It was a tad on the hot side and not something he would normally drink.
That time, however, he took two consecutive sips out of it before he handed the cup back to Gu Shishi.
How to Restore Vision Without SurgeryiFocus
"I am so happy that you are truly nice to Shishi."
Mother Gu was certainly happy.
Huo Sishen did not rebut what she had just said.
It seemed that a son-in-law was a son-in-law after all.
Her real daughter might not care to be disrespectful to her but would her son-in-law dare to?
If he dared lay a finger on her, her daughter would one day come around and remembered what he had done to her mother.
That would start a fight between the two of them.
It would appear that Young Master Huo was a smart one and would not dig that hole for himself.
"There are no forever grudges within a family, Shishi. One of these days, you will understand where Mom is coming from and you will come around," said Mother Gu as she gave Huo Sishen a look that served as a warning to him that he was now on her side.
"A married woman's parents will always stand behind her. You are a Gu's and Mom and Dad will always stand up for you when you are bullied."
Huo Sishen raised his brows and casted her a glance.
This, now, displeased him a little and made him a little impatient.
Noticing the look on him, Mother Gu gave him a calming smile.
"It's all hypothetical.
"But, back to my original point.
"Mom feels much better now seeing how in love the two of you are, Shishi. You know, a marriage is much more than just a marriage certificate in this world.
"The certificate is just a formality and is not important at all. What's important is your love for each other and your determination to be with each other.
"If you have each other on your mind, you will never leave each other with or without the constrain of any certificate nor would you allow the other person to ever leave you."
Chapter 355 – "There is no way I will leave him, get it?" (3)
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."
How to Restore Vision Without SurgeryiFocus
"... ..."
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.
How to Restore Vision Without SurgeryiFocus
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?!
