Chapter 272: “I feel that, we make a good couple together.” (3)

Huo Sishen’s hand tightened around the fork.

What did he need to do to alleviate the symptoms? How to talk to her to make her feel better? What was the best course of treatment?

He looked at that pink and soft face in front of him with his black eyes and, for the very first time, regretted not paying more attention to Qin Ruhai when he talked.

He would always send him on his always after he had said just a couple of sentences.

Thinking of that, Huo Sishen frowned and waved at Butler Lin who was waiting just outside. “Get Qin Ruhai to come over.”

Gu Shishi was still thinking about what else to say and how to wrap up the conversation in order to get to what she was trying to get at.

But she was stunned by his scolding and summoning of Qin Ruhai.

“Why do we need Dr. Qin here?”

She looked up with her limpid eyes.

That’s when she saw that in the cold and black eyes of the man in front of her a rare mixture of anxiety, nervousness, and worry could be seen.

A man who was normally domineering seemed helplessly nervous.

Huo Sishen’s chin was taut.

To check up on you, of course.

But he held it back. He couldn’t say that out loud.

Many people could not accept the fact that they were mentally ill.

And she was so young.

Right at the age when she would be her happy self.

With an illness like that, all the more the Gu’s would not dote on her and her adopted parents would want to avoid her even more.

Even the friends that she had just made would want to stay clear of her.

Huo Sishen’s dark eyes deepened again.

His long and slender fingers drummed on the table.

“He’s here to check on me.”

Gu Shishi continued to look at him. “I thought Dr. Qin was on an out-of-town business trip?”

Huo Sishen narrowed his eyes. “Then we can do a video chat first.”

Gu Shishi frowned.

After they had digressed so far, it was now difficult for her to loop the subject back to what she had intended to say.

But her heart dropped.

He was feeling ill again?

She gritted her teeth and spilled out the conclusion with all her ramblings from earlier.

“What I am trying to say, Mr. Huo, is that my luck has changed ever since I have came to your place.”

“I feel that… we make a good couple together.”

Having said that, she blushed fiercely.

How shameless was that!

Gu Shishi!

Well, the early birds get the worms!

She met the world’s best man, one of spaceship caliber; was she supposed to stand by and watch someone else steal him away from her?

What did she have to worry about with the system that she has?

What was wrong with her flirting with him? She was his fiancée, right?

Thinking of that, she lifted her little face.

And closed her limpid eyes tightly.

Her cheeks resembled that of blooming peach-colored flower bud but her look was one of heroism.

Huo Sishen lifted his brows.

He looked straight at her decisive look.

She really wanted to die…

No wonder she was the only one staying with him when everybody else was afraid of his curse.

Others wanted to stay as far away from him as possible but she asked him to send her gifts every day.

She wanted to die so badly…

Suddenly, the pain in his chest worsened.

He looked at her the entire time over dinner.

She looked like she was eating happily but she kept sneaking looks at him…

He couldn’t help but lowered his eyes and clenched his fists tightly.

After dinner, Gu Shishi was still mulling over whether what she had said had any positive influence on the boss.

Huo Sishen had already returned to his study with a heavy look.

He took over the video chat call that Siyi had already connected for him.

Qin Ruhai’s big smile quickly appeared on the screen.

“Oh mi, you reaching out to me voluntarily? What is wrong with that picture?

“Do you miss me already?”

Huo Sishen’s look was deep like water.

He didn’t care about the rubbish chitchat coming from the other end.

And cut straight to the chase.

“What do I do when someone is determined to die?”
