Chapter 190 – Another Round of Fondness (3)
Over the years, her relationships with these individuals had been getting progressively worse and as did her big brother’s reputation.
Who had ever thought about bringing food from a banquet to her “horrible” brother??
Nobody!
Not even her second brother!
Huo Wencheng, even to this date, all he cared about was to be lovey dovey with Gu Wushuang!!
And this Zhou Mi, who had suggested to bring cakes to her big brother… avoided him like a plaque back in the days…
Huo ChuChu, dazed, turned her head and looked at Gu Shishi who was nodding and thanking Zhou Mi for the lunch box.
All of a sudden, she was speechless.
Did she do something wrong?
What did she do wrong?
How did… Gu Shishi did it?
Study hard?
“Okay. I thank you for him then.”
Gu Shishi waved and said goodbye.
Zhou Mi and her little groups stood together and waved at Gu Shishi happily.
“No problem. I was the one who kept you for another ten minutes. Next time, I’ll take you to have authentic Napoleon and… we can bring another order for Big Brother Huo. Bye for now~”
Gu Shishi dared not stay any longer.
She added them on WeChat for her payment later and rushed off.
After she had gotten into the car, nevertheless, she found an uninvited guest.
A girl with silverish gray hair, in her swim suit, her feet bare….
It was Huo ChuChu who hasn’t even changed yet!
“I am going with you, to… see my big brother!”
Squeezing next to the car window, Huo ChuChu’s ears were a bit red.
Gu Shishi acknowledged her.
[Beep! Received fondness from Huo ChuChu!]
[Beed! Received fondness from Chen Kexin, Li Yiru, Zhou Mi and….]
[“Acknowledge From Others” currently at LV3. 85% progress toward LV4.]
Gu Shishi couldn’t hep but smiled.
“What, what are you smiling at?!”
Huo ChuChu’s blush deepened.
“This does not mean that I recognize you… I just want to ride my big brother’s car, and have his chauffeur take me home!
“This does not mean that I recognize you as my sister-in-law!”
[Beep! Received fondness from Huo ChuChu!]
Gu Shishi looked up.
Tsundere.
Another tsundere who refused to speak her mind.
Yup. They were siblings alright. They were just like each other.
“That’s fine. I’m young than you anyway. Referring to me as sister-in-law would just make me sound old.” (T/N: The term “sister-in-law” in Chinese are different for old brother’s wife versus younger brother’s wife.)
Gu Shishi waved in a carefree way.
“Let’s go. Let’s pick something up for your brother first.”
Huo ChuChu was just about to complain when she heard that and instantly adjusted her pose properly.
Buying things for her brother?
When was the last time… that she bought anything for her brother?
Ever since that one year, he had turned down everything that she had gotten him.
Then, upset with him, she had stopped buying him things but that did not prompt a reaction from him.
Huo ChuChu suddenly stopped fuzzing.
“Swipe my card.”
She blurted out.
She quickly reached into her pocket and cussed.
She left in such a hurry that she was still in her swimsuit! Never mind about money, she didn’t even have a pocket!!!
***
The mansion in the suburb. Inside the second-floor study.
Huo Sishen had his hands behind his back as he stood expressionlessly in front of the floor-to-ceiling window. His entire body hidden in the shadow where the sun couldn’t reach.
Siyi, standing next to him, felt unnerved.
The boss hasn’t been focused since their meeting this morning.
He quickly ended a global call that would usually last for 4 hours before he started standing next to the window and looking outside like a rock.
Looking out from the study, one could see the little road that the car would usually pull in from.
It was almost 11 AM and the boss had been standing there all the way till noon like a fool.
Siyi recalled quietly the conclusion that him and Sier had reached yesterday.
The boss… must be in love.
Being in love makes one silly!
Siyi sighed quietly.
It looked like they were right.
“Boss, would you like to have lunch now?”
Siyi looked at his watch.
“I’ll have them prepare your lunch for you.”
