Chapter 174 – Perhaps she owned the system a thank you? (2)
“From now on, you are her problem. Let her know if you need anything. I’ll have Butler Lin set up the internal line from your room and you will be able to get hold of her whenever you need.”
She’s a girl. There would be times when Butler Lin would not be the appropriate person for her to reach out to.
Having said that, Huo Sishen frowned. He had definitely overlooked this in the past.
Gu Shishi finally looked up at him with her limpid eyes. Her skin was extremely pale and soft, so pale that pinkness could be seen through it.
“I…. I am fine, really.”
She only made up the hair tie story for the sake of testing him. She had no idea how he came to that conclusion in a matter of minutes.
Huo Sishen interrupted her in disagreement, “Well, she’s assigned to you. You do with her whatever you please.”
He walked away from her briskly with his long legs......
Except when he walked past her, it was inevitable that he picked up a hint of a rose scent. His breathing stopped for a second, and he recalled the scene from a couple of nights ago.
He had purposefully asked Mrs. Zheng to mention the swimming pool so he could see her in her swimsuit… to see how presentable it was so she wouldn’t be looked down upon.
Yet, somehow, he ended up waiting on the patio for her to show up, night after night…
Appreciating the wine, the moon… and the woman.
Just like the man who was enjoying his wine in the painting on the fan that she had given him.
Free and broad-minded.
Drinking outdoors didn’t seem to be as disgusting as he had imagined.
Not too bad.
Huo Sishen’s lips moved a little.
He pictured how Gu Shishi pitter-pattered toward him like an obedient little wife in her apron and her hair tied into a bun on top of her head and brought over the sandwich and orange juice that she had packed for him.
He walked out, and that feeling was still vibrating inside of his chest. This wasn’t half bad.
“Mrs. Zheng.”
He called up Mrs. Zheng immediately after he got inside of the car.
“Go shopping with her. Use my card, and buy her a new apron.”
A pink one. It would look better on her in the morning.
[Hidden male lead assignment triggered!]
Gu Shishi, standing by the door, was a little bit stunned when she heard the system notification.
[Hidden Male Lead Assignment: Invite him to go out with you!]
[Your man does not like leaving the house. He normally only commutes between office and home and is missing out on a lot of enjoyment in life. The world is big; you should take him out sometimes!]
[Requirement for this assignment: Enjoy a true candle-light dinner just the two of you. Location can be any restaurant.]
[Reward: Skill fragment x 1.]
Gu Shishi smacked herself on her forehead after staring at it for a little bit.
She wasn’t sure what to make of it.
Even the system noticed that Huo Sishen was a hermit?
This assignment was certainly very tailored!
And high on the difficulty level.
“I need to really think about how to invite him out. It’d be so embarrassing if he turns me down the first very time…”
Gu Shishi rubbed her chin.
She left after breakfast.
She received a friend’s request from Mrs. Zheng before she even got off work that day.
After Gu Shishi had approved her, Mrs. Zheng sent over a bunch of pictures.
When Gu Shishi looked at them during her break in between her two classes, she was stunned speechless.
[Mrs. Zheng: Miss, will these do? Any special requests?]
The entire chat window was filled with all types of glistening hair ties.
Ones with pearls, diamonds, crystals… Korean style ones, cute ones, elegant ones…
Not just hair ties. There were also hair clips, hair claws, hair bands…
Some of them were obvious designer brand ones. For example, some had the large Chanel logo on them, some were Japanese pearls, and Tiffany’s trademark robin blue color…
Definitely not like the one she had bought on Taobao.
