Chapter 125: What’s going on?
Aili’s eyes flashed with pain—if she were being punished for failing a mission, she wouldn’t have any objections, but that wasn’t the case.
The biggest reason Mister punished her was because of Gu Siyu.
It was because he found out she had taken Gu Siyu to Zhongnanhai and that she had experienced that explosion.
After returning, Mister was furious. Nothing else mattered; the twenty million in goods were insignificant. In Mister’s heart, Gu Siyu’s safety was comparable to his own life.
But what of it!
He cared so much for Gu Siyu, disregarding her feelings.
Originally, after failing the mission and sustaining some injuries from the explosion, she was to undergo a series of punishments upon her return. Aili didn’t want to endure it, but she had no choice.
“Her safety is my safety, and my life means nothing.”
Aili muttered to herself, inaudible to anyone else, only to herself—
“Your life is your life.”
It seemed as if someone was speaking in her ear, but at that moment, she couldn’t open her eyes, as if she were trapped in a dream.
—
Gu Siyu sat in the milk tea shop, losing track of time. It wasn’t until the milk tea shop was about to close that Gu Siyu got up to leave.
“Who allowed you to run off without telling me?”
Bei Ming Hao Chen’s tall figure forcefully entered Gu Siyu’s vision.
At the doorway of the milk tea shop, Bei Ming Hao Chen’s arrival caused quite a stir.
“Why did you come here?”
“Hurry up and leave, or there will be another commotion.”
Gu Siyu thought of how those people would fawn over Bei Ming Hao Chen and felt a sense of dread.
Women, when they’re infatuated, are practically inhuman.
“It has nothing to do with this Young Master.”
Bei Ming Hao Chen acted as if it were none of his business, which made one grit their teeth.
Gu Siyu gritted her teeth, grabbed him, and quickly left the milk tea shop.
After walking a considerable distance, Gu Siyu could still seemingly hear the sounds of those infatuated girls fawning over him.
“Show-off.”
After getting into the car, Gu Siyu frowned and glared at Bei Ming Hao Chen, then blurted out two words.
“Gu Siyu, I told you, wherever you go, you have to inform me beforehand, otherwise I won’t be able to find you.”
“If I can’t find you, I’ll worry.”
Bei Ming Hao Chen turned to stare at Gu Siyu, looking as if he expected her to listen carefully.
He said it so sentimentally, but Gu Siyu rolled her eyes, wondering what he was really thinking.
“What’s wrong here?”
Bei Ming Hao Chen suddenly braked. The sudden stop caused Gu Siyu to lurch forward, almost hitting the dashboard.
Gu Siyu had a shallow wound on her face. If Bei Ming Hao Chen hadn’t mentioned it, she would have almost forgotten.
It was done by those people who followed her in the alley that afternoon. Although it wasn’t a deep cut, Gu Siyu frowned and replied unhappily, “A love rival did it.”
Neither of them spoke much.
A love rival did it?
“Isn’t Yin Manni a rich young lady? Why does she always like to do these sneaky things?”
“If something’s wrong, just tell me. I won’t scold you, honestly.”
Yin Manni?
“Mannni hurt you? What happened?”
Bei Ming Hao Chen’s anger flared up instantly.
He reached out to touch the shallow wound. Her skin was so delicate; a small wound suddenly appearing looked particularly displeasing.
“How would I know? Anyway, those little punk girls said they were getting revenge for Yin Manni. I’m not too sure.”
