Chapter 84: We never tried to speculate what is on Young Master’s mind

It was chilly inside the study, and the atmospheric pressure couldn’t be lower.

But Gu Shishi wasn’t aware of any of that.

She had just walked outside of her room and was drawing SSR cards (Superior Super Rare) in her mobile game while she walked down the stairs.

All of a sudden, there was a loud BANG in front of her. Before she could make out what had happened, the chandelier above her fell right in front of her!

That was a close one.

She had drawn ten different times and didn’t even get one SSR.

She had been so mad that she stopped in her track to stomp her feet. Had she not stopped and walked at her original speed, the chandelier would probably have fallen right on top of her and cracked her head.

Even though the chandelier didn’t land on her, she had on a short skirt so the shattered glass still grazed her calves.

The saving grace was that none of them hit her on her face.

Before Gu Shishi had even recovered from the shock, she heard a warning sound from the system.

[The host had an accident and is now bleeding.]

[Life is decreasing at the rate of 101%.]

Gu Shishi, “……”

As sensitive as the system was, would annual physicals still be necessary?

She was going to decline Butler Lin with his first aid kit, but now all she could do was squat down and wait for Butler Lin.

While she was waiting, she saw Siyi walking out of the study.

Gu Shishi smiled at him dryly.

She happened to be sitting right outside the study.

“Miss Gu, are you alright?” Siyi nodded at her.

“Oh, I am fine. The chandelier didn’t hit me, so just minor grazes.”

As she was a painter, Gu Shishi was used to observing people. She could tell immediately that the look on siyi was complicated. There was concern, mixed with a little bit of compassion, and even some fear.

As though the timing of it all was very bad.

What was the matter?

What was he afraid of?

She cocked her head and peeked inside the study through the cracked open door.

But the only thing she was able to see was the back of a chair facing the door.

That and the side profile of a handsome face.

Boss Huo…

Gu Shishi’s mouth opened a little.

She wanted to stay something but quickly kept her mouth shut.

The curtains inside the study haven’t been shut all day.

The afternoon sun shined directly onto the elm wood floor, making even the glass on the bookshelves seemed as if it was glowing.

However, the desk right next to the window was like a lone island.

All the light surrounding it seemed to be blocked by the tall branches of the trees on this island, shielding it completely from the man sitting on the chair.

He might be sitting in the light, but it looked like he was sitting on a distinctive dark side.

“BANG!”

Siyi closed the room’s door.

And cut off her sight.

Gu Shishi recollected herself.

All the way until Butler Lin came over with the first aid kit, she was still a little lost at the scene that she just saw.

What’s the matter with the boss?

He seemed to have been in a better mood the last couple of days.

Did he have insomnia again?

She didn’t even feel much when Butler Lin was cleaning her wounds for her.

The servants of the mansion had already cleaned the floor in a well-trained, orderly fashion.

A new lamp had already been put up to replace the old.

She did not recollect herself until Butler Lin was about to take off with the first aid kit.

“Butler Lin, is Mr. Huo in a bad mood again?”

Gu Shishi slowly climbed up from the floor.

Butler Lin was a little bit surprised at her question.

He thought about it for a little, then shook his head.

“We never tried to speculate what is on Young Master’s mind. Our job is to carry out all orders coming from him.

“If there’s nothing else, I will take off now, Miss Gu.”

Gu Shishi rubbed her nose and said, “Oh, alright. Thank you, Butler Lin.”
