Back at the villa, Gu Shishi got out of the car. She turned around and saw that the man in the car seemed to have returned to his cold state.
The smile in the car just now seemed to be an illusion.
"Young Master, Miss Gu." “
Butler Lin welcomed them outside.
Huo Sishen nodded slightly and walked into the villa.
Without speaking to anyone, his slender legs stepped onto the stairs.
Gu Shishi pursed her lips. Was he still in a bad mood?
She had coaxed him for so long in the car.
She had even used the trump card that she had saved for so many days.
Originally, she was prepared to coax this sensitive man just in case she or Huo Chuchu got close to him. If there were any unfortunate accidents, she could coax this sensitive man.
In the end, it did not work?
Gu Shishi puffed up her cheeks.
She had thought for a long time and felt that it was a good idea. But it still could not offset Luo Pingting's influence?
This was really … depressing.
She fell into deep thought and her gaze fell on the ground.
She had thought that she had scored 100 points and was happily waiting for praise at home. In the end, she realized that it was useless. No one appreciated her at all.
Huo Sishen walked up two flights of stairs and looked at her from the corner of his eyes.
He saw her expression …
She looked like a child who did not get her candy. She seemed to have suffered a lot of setbacks and grievances.
Her delicate red lips were slightly pouted. Her eyelashes fluttered like butterfly wings, casting a loose shadow on her fair skin.
Huo Sishen could not help but smile.
He only wanted to change his clothes and wash off the pungent smell of perfume on him before coming down to talk to her.
She was like a little tail following him. He had left her behind for a while and she was already so unhappy.
However, he raised his hand slightly and frowned.
The smell on Luo Pingting's body was too unpleasant!
"Go sit in the dining room." “
On the way, Si Yi asked the butler to prepare lunch.
"I'll be down in a while." “
Gu Shishi blinked.
She was still counting the patterns on the tiles on the floor. At the same time, she thought about how she could coax this arrogant guy if she did not win a thousand lottery tickets.
Just as he was racking his brain for a solution, he suddenly heard a pleasant voice.
[Beep! You have gained Huo Sishen's favor!]
Then she heard a man's hoarse voice.
She raised her head and saw that there seemed to be a hint of a smile in his deep black eyes as he looked at her.
Gu Shishi: "?"
The big shot was laughing!
What's with that look?
Was he laughing at her?
"Oh."
She clutched her heart that was suddenly beating faster. Looking at the back of the other party, she took a deep breath.
However, she obediently went to the dining room. Not long after, there was a sneaky figure at the door.
"Si Yi?"
"Miss Gu."
The other party smiled awkwardly and pointed at the phone.
Only then did Gu Shishi take a look.
Found two unread messages.
[Si One: Boss didn't eat anything for lunch.]
[Si One: The House of Hundred Tastes is the boss's property. The waiter who failed … you know.]
With just a few sentences, her mood instantly swung like a super high swing. With a whoosh, she threw out all the unhappiness and gloominess of the day!
It was actually an accident deliberately arranged by a big shot?
Was he trying to scare Luo Pinting? Because he knew that they were not on good terms?
Could it be to avenge her?!
Gu Shishi suddenly felt that she was floating in the air again.
No, she was going to be arrogant again!
Seeing that Miss Gu couldn't hide her happiness, Si Yi hurriedly put away his phone and ran away.
Boss, I can only help you to this extent.
Yes, he had to quickly tell Second Si the new story today!
When Huo Sishen came downstairs, he saw Gu Shishi sitting obediently. He didn't know what she was thinking.
However, it was obvious that the little girl's mood was much better than before.
Her red lips were curled up and her watery eyes were glowing.
She was a completely different person from the depressed and gloomy look just now.
Did her mood become better just because he accompanied her to eat?
He narrowed his eyes and the knot in his chest unknowingly loosened a little.
He was about to speak.
However, he saw Gu Shishi suddenly raise her rosy little face. Her red lips parted slightly as if she had made up her mind to speak.
"Mr. Huo, actually, Luo Pinting's bad luck is not even one-ten-thousandth of mine."
"I was swapped when I was young. This body of mine only has the life of a princess and I don't have the luck to enjoy a good life."
"My parents didn't pay much attention to me. They only realized that I wasn't their biological daughter after I grew up. A few days after I got engaged to you, they asked me for 100,000 yuan. Other than that, there was no other news."
If she didn't strike while the iron was hot today and solve Huo Sishen's problem, it would be too stiff if she returned to this topic in the future!
At the very least, she hoped that he would be able to treat her normally. Otherwise, how could she guarantee that she wouldn't have a headache when they were living under the same roof in the future?
If Huo Sishen got the wrong idea, all her previous efforts would be in vain.
She just wanted to let him know that everyone had their own fate. How could it be so easy to be cursed by others?
"The Gu family … doesn't like me either."
"First, it's the arranged marriage and then they want Gu Wushuang to continue living with the Gu family."
To be honest, the original owner of this body was probably one of the most unlucky people in the book.
Although they were both swapped, Gu Wushuang's fate was much better.
At the end of the novel, her heart disease was greatly alleviated after she went abroad for surgery. Although it couldn't be cured, she could basically live a long life.
She and the male lead overcame difficulties happily and were inseparable.
However, the original owner of this body died for unknown reasons. Until her death, she didn't receive any love or appreciation from either party.
As Gu Shishi thought about it, she felt sympathetic.
As she spoke, she stole a glance at Huo Sishen.
"Actually, death isn't scary. It's just a matter of a moment."
"But sometimes, the suffering one has to go through while living far exceeds that of death."
Everyone said that he cursed his father.
However, if Huo Sishen's father hadn't died that time, who knew what would happen next?
If there was fate, then it was something predestined by the heavens. If there wasn't, then what was the saying of fate cursing others?
Gu Shishi muttered.
However, Huo Sishen's brows furrowed.
His handsome face was unprecedentedly serious and gloomy.
"What nonsense are you talking about?"
He reprimanded her.
"What nonsense are you thinking about all day long?"
She was asking for death!
Living was hard, so why not die?
Was she trying to commit suicide?
Qin Ruhai had mentioned that this was one of the symptoms of depression. She was trying to end her life to escape from the setbacks of reality and to end the pain that she couldn't get rid of.
His cold eyes narrowed, and he couldn't help but raise his voice.
"What's wrong with you recently?"
She didn't have any friends, but didn't she have the Qin sisters to accompany her?
Was she sad because they had parents who doted on them while she didn't?
Just now, Chen Kexin abandoned her again. Did that trigger her dark memories?
Huo Sishen's hand that was holding the fork tightened.
How could he alleviate her illness in this situation? How could he counsel her? How could she cooperate with the doctor's orders?
He looked at the pink face in front of him with his dark eyes. For the first time, he regretted not listening to Qin Ruhai's nagging.
Every time, he would chase him away before he could say more than a few words.
As he thought of this, he frowned and waved at Butler Lin, who was waiting outside. "Get Qin Ruhai here."
Gu Shishi was thinking about what to say next. She was thinking about how to smooth things over and reach the final conclusion she wanted.
However, she was shocked by his reprimand and the fact that he had called Qin Ruhai over.
"Why do you want Doctor Qin here?"
She looked up with her watery eyes.
She saw that the man in front of her was staring at her coldly. There was a hint of anxiety, nervousness, and hesitation in his eyes.
The man who had always been domineering was actually flustered and at a loss.
Huo Sishen's jaw was clenched.
Of course, it's to treat your illness.
However, he endured it and didn't say anything.
Many people couldn't accept the fact that they had a mental illness.
She was still so young.
She was at the age when she was at her brightest.
With this illness, the Gu family would not dote on her and her adoptive parents would run away.
Even the friends she had made with great difficulty might stay away from her.
Huo Sishen's eyes darkened.
He tapped his slender fingers on the table.
"He's here to treat me."
Gu Shishi continued to look at him. "Didn't Doctor Qin go on a business trip?"
Huo Sishen narrowed his eyes. "Then let's have a video call first."
Gu Shishi frowned.
It was a little difficult for her to return to the original topic after being dragged around in circles.
However, her heart skipped a beat.
Was his illness acting up again?
She gritted her teeth and braced herself to come up with the conclusion she had made earlier.
"Mr. Huo, what I want to say is that ever since I entered your house, my luck has changed."
"I feel that we … are a match made in heaven."
After she finished speaking, her face flushed red.
How shameless!
Gu Shishi!
However, the one who strikes first gains the upper hand, the one who strikes later suffers.
She had met a perfect man who was as good as a spaceship. How could she just watch him be snatched away by someone else?!
With the System around, what was she afraid of?!
Wasn't it natural for a fiancée to flirt with her fiancé?
As she thought of this, she lifted her little face.
She closed her watery eyes tightly.
Her face was like a blooming peach-colored bud, but her expression was one of bravery.
Huo Sishen raised his eyebrows.
He fixed his eyes on her resolute expression.
She really wanted to die …
No wonder everyone was afraid of being tainted by his bad luck. She was the only one who stayed by his side.
Others couldn't wait to stay away from him, but she wanted him to give her gifts every day.
She wanted to die so badly …
He suddenly understood, but the pain in his chest intensified.
Throughout the meal, he had been looking at her.
She appeared to be eating happily, but she kept stealing glances at him …
He couldn't help but lower his gaze and clench his fists.
After the meal, Gu Shishi was still thinking about whether her words had a positive effect on the boss.
Huo Sishen had already entered the study room with a heavy heart.
He took the video call that Si Yi had made.
Qin Ruhai's smiling face appeared on the screen.
"Wow, it's rare for you to take the initiative to contact me."
"Did you miss me?"
Huo Sishen's face was gloomy.
He didn't care about the other party's rubbish talk.
He went straight to the point.
"If someone doesn't want to live anymore and wants to die, how do you alleviate it?"
This heavy topic made Qin Ruhai's expression change drastically.
"You … You want to die?"
He had been Huo Sishen's family doctor for many years, so he understood the situation best.
Huo Sishen had always been afraid of treatment and refused to cooperate with the treatment.
He had long guessed that this guy didn't want to live anymore. He wanted to wear out his body and use medicine recklessly to kill himself!
Now … Was it finally time for him to say it out loud?
Qin Ruhai's voice was trembling. "Don't be agitated, brother. Tell me in detail what happened to you these two days."
Huo Sishen raised his eyebrows.
He wasn't the one who wanted to die.
But if he said it out loud, how could she continue to develop a relationship with Qin Ruhai?
She had given Qin Ruhai a gift, but he had gone on a business trip before returning her gift.
If Qin Ruhai knew that she was mentally unstable, would he still be able to continue dating her?
He must have been too anxious.
Why did he look for Qin Ruhai? He should have looked for another doctor!
Huo Sishen's gloomy eyes flashed with regret.
But Qin Ruhai saw it clearly.
"Brother, we've known each other for so many years. You're like my biological brother. Tell me, there must be a way to solve it! I'll go back to China with my teacher and beg him to come out and treat you. "
Huo Sishen narrowed his eyes.
Qin Ruhai's teacher was a famous psychological specialist.
No one in the country could compare to him.
"Okay."
He frowned and replied.
She glanced at Si Yi, who also had a look of fear on his face, and swallowed the words that were at the tip of her tongue.
Even Si Yi, who was always careless, was panicking.
Si Yi was one of the few people who could talk and laugh with her.
If he knew that she was ill, he would probably stay away.
Who knew what kind of crazy things a person who wanted to die would do when he fell ill?
Many people who didn't understand depression would more or less think so.
She hurt herself, hurt others, and couldn't control herself.
Who wouldn't feel uncomfortable once they knew?
He took a deep breath.
"She was abandoned by her parents and lost her friends."
"She felt that death was only a temporary pain, but living was a long-term torture."
"Is she … suffering from depression?"
"Is there any temporary way to relieve her?"
He just wanted to relieve her emotions temporarily.
After that, he would send her abroad for treatment without telling her friends.
Huo Sishen sighed faintly as he spoke.
However, as soon as he finished speaking, Si Yi and Qin Ruhai looked at each other from outside the screen. Sorrow welled up in their hearts, and their eyes were filled with sadness and pain.
"Find something to do."
On the screen, Qin Ruhai spoke with a heavy heart.
"Invest in something you're interested in and find the value of living."
"Brother, there are many things in this world that are worth finding happiness in. For example, a passionate relationship."
Huo Sishen's eyebrows twitched.
Qin Ruhai sighed.
"If you feel that you don't have much time left, then don't worry about the future and fall in love."
"You don't have parents or friends, but you can love someone one last time. Isn't that good?"
Would he be willing to die and let the little beauty live alone after he found his lover?
Huo Sishen was stunned. "But will she feel that she's a burden to others?"
So, she always looked for him and asked him to give her a gift as her husband?
She wanted to die, but before she died, she wanted to have a relationship without regrets and even try marriage?
Looking for someone else would be a disaster.
But looking for him, he was a good match for her as he was a notorious bachelor. No one knew how long he could live.
She felt that he was the most suitable person?
Huo Sishen's eyelashes twitched.
So, even if she wanted to give Qin Ruhai a gift, she still wanted to look for him. She wanted to go out with him and experience the feeling of dating.
Because the former was a disaster, and he was in the same boat as her.
"Brother, don't you feel regretful that you're not married and have no children?"
Qin Ruhai saw that he didn't speak.
"What about Miss Gu?! Isn't she your fiancée?! "
He was completely anxious.
Huo Sishen suddenly opened his eyes. There was a glimmer of light in his eyes.
Yes, he was her fiancée.
She was sent here. What could she do?
She was so desperate.
She didn't want to cause any trouble for him. She also didn't want to break off the engagement and increase his bad reputation.
So, she just wanted to have a relationship with him and experience the feeling of being a girlfriend, or even … a little wife.
"Okay."
"Then let's try … being together."
His deep voice sounded in the study room.
She didn't want to leave.
She wanted to be by his side and fulfill her dream.
Then he … would help her.
Maybe she would realize that there were still many unfinished things, such as getting married and having children.
She didn't want to die anymore.
Qin Ruhai was extremely excited.
This person had always been so stubborn. She was actually willing to listen to him today.
"Yes, yes, yes. Hurry up and get together and have a baby!"
"It's the father's fault for not teaching his son well. Do you have the heart to let the child be bullied and become a fatherless child?! "
Huo Sishen narrowed his eyes.
Yes, of course he didn't have the heart.
Naturally, he had to think of a way to survive.
Gu Shishi was doing an ink-wash livestream in her room.
She was practicing her ink-wash technique while checking the number of times she could redeem from the system.
She was tireless.
All of a sudden, a pleasant voice rang in his ears.
[Elementary Skill Like Divine Help. 100 successful uses.]
She was stunned.
She leveled up so quickly?
She flipped through the system records and realized that Huo Chuchu had helped her a lot.
Because she was drawing an ink-wash painting, the system judged that the number of times she could use the skill had increased by nearly 50.
And this morning, the system judged that the number of times she could use each of the pottery tools she drew for Old Madam Chen was one. Therefore, she had accumulated seven 'successful trials' in the morning!
She immediately jumped up!
Perfect!
Indeed, doing good deeds would be rewarded!
She originally thought that it would take a while before she could reach the 100 mark.
Looking at the message, she was overjoyed.
[Elementary Skill Like Divine Help (Intermediate): Place the artist's concentration into the painting. Without distracting thoughts, the painting will be born from the heart. The spirit condensed in the painting will affect the seven emotions and six desires of the viewer.]
Affect the mind of the viewer!
She had already figured out most of the basic immersive state.
As long as the artist was fully immersed in the painting and entrusted their feelings, once they had enough experience, the ink-painted scroll would reflect the artist's feelings.
It was a narrative that could make the audience feel a rush of emotions!
According to the practice during this period of time, even if she did not exchange for the elementary skill, she could achieve a similar effect twice in ten times.
However, it was not possible for her to exceed the scope of her experience.
However, she had no understanding of this intermediate ability to let the painting affect the seven emotions and six desires of the viewer!
Not to mention her own works, even her master's previous paintings did not achieve such an effect.
[Two days of life in exchange for one hour.]
Expensive!
But it was worth it!
Gu Shishi's lips curled up. Her heart was thumping!
She looked at her nearly 30 days of life bar and did not hesitate to exchange for one hour. Holding the brush, she wanted to try it out.
However, just as she was about to put the brush down, she heard a crisp notification sound.
[Male Master's Love: Currently at L4. 99% progress to L5.]
[Triggered Main Mission: Prepare to enter the wedding hall.]
"Pfft —"
Gu Shishi really spat out a mouthful of water.
What?
Wasn't this system too capricious?
How far was this?
[Rich Wife System: The goal is to support the host to become a rich wife with a well-rounded moral, intellectual, physical, aesthetic, and labor.]
[Please make a choice.]
[1. Fall in love first, then get married.]
[2. Get married first, then fall in love.]
"Oh, it's as if the big boss will listen to me?"
"Do I have to propose to him?"
Gu Shishi was a blank piece of paper when it came to love.
However, she also knew that it was easy for a woman to chase a man. Therefore, after returning today, she began to crazily declare her sovereignty to the big boss.
Even so, she was a conservative person. She would never propose to a man.
This was not something the system could dream of!
"I won't say it. If I want to get married, he has to beg me!"
Gu Shishi was extremely firm.
[Beep! Choice 2 successful!]
Gu Shishi glared.
She was just grumbling a little, alright?!
[Fall in love first — Main Mission 1, generated!]
[Smart women don't need to take the initiative to confess. Just a look is enough to make a man feel the burning fire of love, unable to control himself!]
[Mission Requirement: Look at him for 60 seconds. No matter what he does, your gaze will always be on him, unbiased. Make the man hot-headed and propose to you!]
[Reward: 'Hug when you love' skill.]
Gu Shishi was dumbfounded.
What kind of mission was this?
Did he confirm that her eyes wouldn't cramp?
Why did he propose to her after looking at her for a minute? Why did it feel like a curse?
However, this reward was not a skill fragment but a skill directly?
[This is an important main mission.]
[If you don't complete it, your level of affection will stagnate at lv4 and cannot be upgraded.]
Damn!
Gu Shishi almost went bald.
If she couldn't upgrade it, it meant that she could only store one month of her life forever!
Alright.
She could only do it!
Although this mission was not only stupid but also difficult to complete, what other choice did she have?
She immediately threw down the paintbrush and rushed out of the room.
It was close to dinner time. Huo Sishen was still in the study.
Gu Shishi wandered around the living room and dining room but couldn't find him. She tried knocking on the door of the study.
"Come in."
His hoarse and deep voice sounded a little sexy at night.
Gu Shishi, who had 'bad intentions' in her heart, couldn't help but think about it.
She bit her lip and pushed the door open.
She looked at the calm man sitting behind the desk with her big watery eyes and pitiful contact lenses.
Stare … stare … stare … stare …
Huo Sishen heard the sound of the door opening and frowned.
"What's wrong?"
Si Yi had just finished reporting his work and walked out. Why did he come back?
However, when he raised his cold eyes, he suddenly met the girl's watery gaze in the air.
The pen in his hand suddenly froze on the paper.
The last stroke of the pen was out of shape.
The girl's gaze was filled with … an indescribable desire. It was as if she was floating in the darkness, trying to find the light of hope.
The Pikachu cartoon nightgown made her petite body look like a child asking for a hug.
She needed him.
Qin Ruhai's words suddenly appeared in his mind.
His breathing was a little difficult.
When he looked down, she looked down as well.
When he looked up, she looked up as well.
She was like duckweed that had no support, floating in the air. However, her gaze was still following him …
Huo Sishen clenched his jaw.
On the other hand, Gu Shishi felt that her eyelids were sore from staring.
She was cursing in her heart!
In front of her, there was a clear countdown timer.
49, 48 … 32, 31 … 10 …
Persevere!
Persevere is victory!
She screamed in her heart!
Oh my god, she was staring so hard that tears were flowing out!
Dog system, this is simply not something a human would do!
However, Huo Sishen saw the girl looking at him. Her watery eyes were gradually turning red and crystal clear tears were about to fall. His chest suddenly trembled.
His hoarse voice overflowed from his thin lips.
"Let's get married."
Gu Shishi: "…!"
Damn, he really cursed her!
