He turned around and saw that Gu Shishi’s little face was beet red. Her white and soft little hands were twisting the corner of her clothes.
“You need to send me gifts everyday, as... as... my husband.”
After she had finished saying that, even her neck had turned red!
But if she didn’t, she was really going to die!
If they called off the engagement, then she would no longer be the wife of a prominent family. She didn’t think the system would let her live.
Unless she could find a new husband from a prominent family. One to replace Huo Sishen and dote on her and buy her gifts.
But how was she going to find a new man from a prominent family in just 7 short days?
Besides, the boss might have a bad temperament, always looked angry, liked to say mean words, and liked to tell people to get the hell out, and was a little bit of a germaphobe, but other than that... he seemed to be alright?
He was awkward, never spoke his mind, prideful, and easily felt shy. Perhaps those were somewhat cute traits?
And he was handsome, with good looking hands and a good looking face. His build wasn’t half bad, and he could totally qualify to be her model.
Plus, he was also her source of inspiration!
Just a moment ago, when she was looking at him from outside his study, she seemed to have figured out the real meaning of painting!
A picture can talk.
Brightness versus darkness.
White versus black.
The image of him sitting inside his study, not saying a word, nor did he look at her. She clearly felt that he didn’t belong in that lonely world. She saw the loneliness on him and his resentment toward her...
Would she be able to express all these emotions through a drawing paper with her paintbrush?
The more Gu Shishi thought about it, the more she felt that her blood was boiling.
That was the benefit of having the system.
Perhaps all she needed was to use her cheat a few more times and she would be able to create work with souls like that all by herself.
“What the hell are you talking about?”
Huo Sishen’s cold and fierce voice came roaring at her.
“Do you even know what you are talking about?”
He had never heard such shameless words in his life!
Gu Shishi, on the other hand, nodded and gave him a pitiful look.
She had already said all the shameless words, what was a little more?
“I just want to be with you. I don’t care what name these house go under.
“I can paint. I have already made $60,000 from selling my paintings. I don’t need money.”
But after she said that, she shook her head in regret and added in a soft voice, “No, I do need money... I need money from you.
“You can give me a card or red packet, but you must give it to me every day.”
Huo Sishen said, “You are out of your mind.”
Gu Shishi gave him a cautious look and said, “Uh huh, and I don’t accept transfers from Siyi either. They must come directly from you.”
The corner of Huo Sishen’s mouth twitched.
“I don’t have that kind of time!”
But after he turned around, he did not let go of the door handle.
His dark eyes looked at the floor where the chandelier was lying just a moment ago.
“You wouldn’t be so lucky next time.”
Seeing his look, Gu Shishi finally had it figured out.
The boss’s bad mood was, indeed, caused by the chandelier falling. He felt that it was his fault that she had almost died, which was why he was pulling away from her now.
“Mr. Huo, I actually felt that I have been getting luckier and luckier since I have been with you,” said Gu Shishi as she stroked her own face.
“I’m not kidding. Just look! My skin’s smooth, my cheeks have a nice glow to them, food is great here, I am healthy, businesses come rolling in, and I have been receiving lots of red packets.... And just earlier, as though some deity was watching over me, I got a vibe all of a sudden and my body agilely jumped out of the way of the chandelier at the very last.....!”
BANG!
And the door to the study slammed shut!
Gu Shishi rubbed her nose.
“...moment.”
Tsk, coaxing the boss is like coaxing a child.
