Chapter 478 - When her second brother returned, he could beg and plead in tears. (1)
Gu Shishi, the land of warmth and tenderness, had finished copying today’s portion of Poems of Song long time ago. She was rolling in bed listening to Huo ChuChu gossiping from afar.
“Sister-in-law, you know what my second brother had done?
“He didn’t even show up at the shareholder’s meeting today! He only sent an email to the upper management analyzing the pros and cons of working with the Gu Corporation, stating that he did not do that just for love. And he left my mom hanging at the shareholder meeting just like that.
“My mom was furious but had to remain calm and elegant in front of the shareholders. You should see that look on her. I almost wanted to take a picture to show you. Finally, she picked up her cup of tea and used it to hide her face. HAHAHAH!”
Gu Shishi, land of warmth and tenderness, tried to picture that in her head and immediately busted out laughing softly as she rolled to one side in bed.
“Your mother is surely a lady.”
Even at times like that, her appearance was very important to her.
Her breathing began to hasten after chatted a little with Huo ChuChu.
As the man who walked into the land of warmth and tenderness started unbuttoning his shirt as he walked.
His shirt, grey with stripes, was no loose to begin with. It was form-fitting, and clearly defined the lines of the man’s muscles.
His hand, slender with defined knuckles, unbuttoned his buttons one by one and his firm muscles began to reveal in front of her slowly… the lights, embedded around the bedroom had already entered into nighttime mode. The dimmed light casted onto the man like a veil of fog…
He turned his body slightly and his elegant, invasive, and manly side profile could be seen… the protruding Adam's apple, his collar bones…
“Hello? Sister-in-law?
“Are you still there?
“I can’t hear you?”
Huo ChuChu asked three times rapidly but she still failed to recall Gu Shishi’s soul.
“Mmm…”
Gu Shishi’s eyes drifted and her mind was far, far away.
With a view like that, how could she still care about stories on the old witch, the scum man and the immoral woman?
No melon is better than her own melon!
Huo Shishen turned around, stripped off his shirt altogether, and went inside the bathroom.
WOOOOOSH. The sliding door to the bathroom was closed and her sight was blocked.
Gu Shishi let out a disappointed “OH!”
The lips of the man in side of the bathroom curved upward slightly.
***
“Sister-in-law, sister-in-law, can you hear me?”
“Yes, yes, I can hear you. Aye.”
Blocked from the view, Gu Shishi plopped back onto the bed, dispirited.
Wrapped in her blanket, she barely spared a little bit of her attention to kiddo ChuChu.
“Oh yeah, I think my mom got a text today. Her face changed colors immediately and she walked straight from the living room into her bedroom! She normally chats at least for half an hour with my grandmother. She didn’t even do that today!”
Huo ChuChu’s rambling came from the other end of the phone again.
“I am guessing that…”
Before she could even go on saying that, Gu Shishi was hugged by a pair of warm arms from behind.
She was enveloped in a steamy pine smell.
She felt heat in her neck. It was the man’s breath.
“Oh!”
All of Gu Shishi’s pore contracted from that.
“What’s the matter? You are surprised too, right, sister-in-law? I think I’ve heard Gu Wushuang’s voice and then– –“
Huo ChuChu was still rambling on.
The hand with the defined fingers quickly wrapped around the source of the sound.
“Time for bed.”
His voice was still languid after the shower.
Huo ChuChu, on the other end, almost tossed away her cellphone. “Big Brother?! Ahem, ahem. Goodnight!”
She suddenly realized what the “AH” and the moaning from Gu Shishi represented…
Even for someone who had neve been in a relationship before, she felt embarrassed.
SMACK! And the call was disconnected.
Smooth and quick, just like that.
Huo Sishen was pleased. He tossed the phone inside the drawer.
Gu Shishi, land of warmth and tenderness, “… …”
Wait a minute. There seemed to have been some misunderstandings with Chuchu.
