“When will you come to the capital?” Lu Chengzhou asked again. His tone was very calm.
Gu Si had deliberately turned the phone volume up to the maximum. Because the car park was very quiet, everything could be clearly heard.
When those words reached Huo Zhi’s ears, he narrowed his eyebrows, and he suddenly said, “Gu Mang, come back with me.”
After he spoke, the phone fell silent. The two men were not facing each other, but everyone could feel the pressure and tense atmosphere through the phone.
After two or three seconds, Lu Chengzhou chuckled lightly and his voice was a little low. “You’re rather popular. I have to watch you more closely in the future.”
Gu Mang did not answer.
After Lu Chengzhou finished saying that sentence, he paused, and said slowly. “Don’t make things difficult for yourself. If you go with him, I will come and find you after I can get out of bed.”
The lighting in the car park was rather dim. Gu Mang happened to be standing under the lamp. Cold white light shone down on her face. She had a pale complexion and her whole body glowed. She looked rather nonchalant.
Huo Zhi heard Lu Chengzhou’s words clearly and so did Gu Si. Gu Si was rather speechless.
Lu Chengzhou had dug a hole for himself this time. He was laying in bed and he could not get out to confront his rival in love who had just appeared by Gu Mang’s side.
Huo Zhi looked at the girl holding the phone and his smile vanished a little. He looked expressionless, as if he was waiting for her to make a choice.
“Oh.” Gu Mang’s reaction was her response to Lu Chengzhou’s words. Then, she said, “I’m hanging up.”
After she finished speaking, she hung up and threw the phone into Gu Si’s arms. Seeing Gu Mang’s attitude, Lu Yi was so nervous that his heart almost jumped out of his mouth.
Is Ms. Gu really just toying with my master? Is she going to abandon him now?!
Huo Zhi squeezed his fingers in his pocket slightly.
Gu Mang looked up at Huo Zhi and her mouth curled upwards a little. “Is there anything else?”
Huo Zhi stared at her face. Her thin lips were pressed into a straight line. It was indeed her way of greeting people. She was always so unpredictable.
Gu Mang reached up and ruffled her hair. Then, she lifted her chin slightly, and said casually, “If there’s nothing else, move the car away. Don’t block my way.”
She did not wait for Huo Zhi’s reply. She turned to open the car door. Lu Yi stared at Gu Mang in disbelief.
Does this mean that Ms. Gu has rejected my master?
Gu Mang stepped into the car and her well-defined hand was pressed on the car door. She paused for a while and looked over. She looked calm and her eyebrows were slightly raised. She looked relaxed yet threatening. No one dared to mess with her.
Huo Zhi had the usual smile on his face. He turned his head and looked in the direction of his subordinates. “Bring me the gift.”
The subordinate quickly took out a gift bag from the car and walked over to Huo Zhi. The bag was not big and it had the logo of a certain luxury brand on it.
Huo Zhi lowered his voice. “You did not accept the birthday gift that I wanted to give you the other time. If you accept this, I will move the car.”
Gu Mang squinted slightly, a little threateningly. She looked at the gift but she did not take it.
Gu Si craned his neck and looked over. He had felt that the packaging was a bit familiar. “Lipstick?”
Huo Zhi was silent. When Gu Si saw Huo Zhi’s reaction he was certain his guess was right. Gu Mang was surprised that Huo Zhi would give her something like lipstick, so she glanced at him.
Huo Zhi’s expression did not change but he spoke much slower than usual. “When you go to university, you can use it.”
She was about to attend Capital University. He had heard that in university, people put on makeup. Other than for formal events, Gu Mang had never put on makeup before. Huo Zhi had likely bought a number of different lipsticks with him.
Gu Si suddenly laughed. “No, Mr. Huo. As a child, you gifting her lipstick has me confused.”
Clearly, Huo Zhi did not quite understand these things. He turned to Gu Si and the look in his eyes was no longer as cold as before.
Gu Si licked his lips and held back a smile. Then, he explained to him, “Did you give my sister lipstick so that you can feel some sense of involvement when she kisses my brother in law?”
