Chapter 56: Everyone’s Idol (26)
Editor: Atlas Studios
The atmosphere beca tense and it was only after a while that Xie Zhou broke the silence.
“Aren’t you scared of offending ?”
Chuzheng formally consulted, “What’s going to happen if I offend you?”
‘You can’t possibly kill , right?’
‘Even if you are drop-dead gorgeous, I won’t die from your handsoness!’
“…”
Everyone should know that the consequence of offending him would not be light.
Did he have to make it so clear?
Xie Zhou admitted that he had been doing business for a long ti and so, he did beco a little thick-skinned, but for him to be asked this question… He really couldn’t give an answer.
“Miss Gu, may I ask why do you want to replace Liu Manman?”
“Mr. Xie, I have already said that it wasn’t .”
“…” He could not do anything to her if she refused to admit it. As she had said, although the investor was Sheng Rui Company and she was a shareholder, without evidence, he indeed could not prove that it was done by her.
Xie Zhou took a deep breath. “In that case, I will change my question. Which family does Miss Gu belong to?”
Chuzheng did not know why he would ask such a question and a thousand question marks appeared in her head. ‘Could it be King’s doing?’
However, King did not tell her anything.
King imdiately conducted a mini-lesson for her on her new identity. This was for her convenience so that she could spend money with ease and would not get into trouble.
Chuzheng: “…” ‘Isn’t it very troubleso now?’
[…]’I am in the wrong again?’
“No comnts.” Chuzheng maintained her noble and demure posture. “If there’s nothing else, I will take my leave first.”
Xie Zhou was fearful of Chuzheng’s unknown family background and thus, did not dare to use the usual ans to deal with her.
Chuzheng stood up to leave, but when she left her seat, she hesitated for a while before taking out a USB flash disk and placing it on the table. With her fingernails suppressing it, she pushed it towards Xie Zhou and gave it a few taps.
“A small present for you.”
Xie Zhou: “???”
–
Su Jiu stood at a corner and watched Chuzheng leave before looking in Xie Zhou’s direction. ‘What are both of them doing here?’
Su Jiu ssaged Chuzheng to ask her what she was doing.
[Chuzheng: You have sothing to tell ?]
Su Jiu pursed his lips as he knew she would not tell him anything. Every ti he wrote a ssage to her, he would only get a reply if it concerned official matters. Otherwise, she would not reply at all.
He was not sure whether she treated everybody the sa or if it was just him.
Su Jiu continued to type and stubbornly asked again.
[Su Jiu: What are you doing?]
However, this ti, Chuzheng did not even bother to reply anymore.
Su Jiu’s eyes darkened while his eyes were fixed on his phone screen for a long ti.
After a long ti, Su Jiu raised his head and looked towards Xie Zhou’s direction again, but there was already nobody there.
The tips of his fingers touched his phone screen.
[Su Jiu: I am not feeling well.]
[Chuzheng: Go see a doctor.]
[Su Jiu: But I want to see you.]
After nearly a minute, Su Jiu finally received Chuzheng’s reply.
[Chuzheng: Where are you?]
Su Jiu told her an address before putting on his mask and he head over to wait for her.
The direction which Chuzheng left was in the opposite direction of the address Su Jiu told her. She told her chauffeur to do a u-turn, but since there was a traffic jam Chuzheng got a little irritated.
With such feelings of irritability present, the gaze she gave as she looked outside the window beca colder and colder. It was as though she wanted to get out of the car and destroy all the cars blocking her way.
The chauffeur stopped the car at the designated destination. Chuzheng was just about to give Su Jiu a call when a person suddenly entered her car.
Su Jiu took off his mask and his fair and handso face could be seen.
“Where are you not feeling well?” asked Chuzheng.
Su Jiu turned his head and held her hands before putting it on his chest “Here.”
The chauffeur considerately put up the car partition and started the car.
“Chest?” asked Chuzheng calmly. “I’ll bring you to the hospital.”
“President Gu, it’s not feeling well because of you.”
“I didn’t hit it.” ‘Don’t even think of getting a compensation fee from !’
Su Jiu stared at Chuzheng with his pitch-black eyes. He saw the indifference in her eyes and chuckled, “President Gu, if you hug , I will get better.”
Chuzheng sized him up and calmly replied, “I will bring you to the hospital.”
‘If you are sick, you should go to the hospital! What’s the use of hugging?’
‘If hugging works, why do we need doctors?!’
Su Jiu ca closer to her and hooked his arm over her neck. “I don’t want to go to the hospital. I just want to be with you.”
Chuzheng: “…”
‘Bastard, if I were to hit him now, will he still think of as a friend?’
[Believe , Little miss. He definitely wouldn’t.]King advised, [Hence, please don’t reject him. It’s just a hug. Besides, both of you have already slept on the sa bed.]
Chuzheng: “…”
The car steadily moved on the road. Su Jiu held Chuzheng in his arms and almost put his entire weight on her.
He carefully grabbed Chuzheng’s hand and slowly held it. “President Gu, what were you doing with Xie Zhou just now?”
“Nothing much,” replied Chuzheng as she lowered her head. “How did you know that I t with him?”
“I saw both of you,” replied Su Jiu honestly.
He looked up and his eyes directly t with Chuzheng’s eyes. Her tender and lovely lips were just right in front of him which caused him to swallow his saliva. He then carefully went closer to her.
But before his lips could touch hers, Chuzheng pulled away and widened the distance between both of them.
Su Jiu was a little disappointed. He lowered his head and hugged Chuzheng’s neck.
“Xie Zhou said he had sothing to tell and we didn’t do anything.” Chuzheng caressed his head. “Why isn’t Pei Yu with you?”
Su Jiu’s eyes brightened. ‘Is she trying to explain herself?’
“Brother Yu is busy with other stuff so I ca out to take a breather. I ssaged you earlier, but you didn’t reply to …” He wanted to ask her out, but his ssage was just like throwing a stone into the sea, it never ca back.
Chuzheng thought of the bunch of ssages on her phone. “In the future, don’t send so many useless ssages.”
Su Jiu felt as if his heart was shot by an arrow. ‘In her eyes, those were useless ssages?’
He could be almost sure that she had no feelings for him.
If this was the past, he would perhaps be very happy.
But right now, he really could not be happy.
“Are you hungry?”
Su Jiu absentmindedly nodded his head. By the ti he ca out of his daze, he was already sitting in a suite and a waiter was passing him the nu for him to order his al.
Su Jiu took a glance at the person opposite him and randomly ordered a few dishes.
After the waiter walked out, Su Jiu stood up to sit beside Chuzheng. He then started sharing with her his recent events as well as interesting events he experienced during filming.
Chuzheng casually listened although she did feel that he was a little noisy. However, she could not get mad at him.
She finally tolerated his nattering till the dishes were served and she found an excuse to get Su Jiu to shut up.
“The food here is really good. How did you discover this place?” Su Jiu rubbed his stomach as he was really full.
“You like it?”
“Hmm, I have never eaten such delicious food before,” replied Su Jiu lovingly with his eyes sparkling that seed to have a hint of joy in it. “How did you discover this place? Can you still bring here again?”
“Sobody told .” What was important was that the dishes here were really expensive.
‘Sobody?’
Su Jiu was a little concerned if that sobody was a male or female.
“President Gu…” Su Jiu hesitated, “Will you still nurture another artiste?”
“No.”
Su Jiu did not expect that she would reply so quickly. “Really?”
“Hmm.” The mission was given by Bastard, otherwise, where would she have the ti to nurture other people?
Based on Bastard’s personality, she only needed to be friendzoned by one person.
Hence, she would not nurture another artiste.
