Chapter 17: 17
Chapter 17 – Received: Summer Time Cool Skin Pill (4)
“What?” A low, coarse voice rang coldly .
Huo Sishen looked down at the pair of legs that had stopped in front of the couch .
A sarcastic smile on his lips .
She didn’t step any closer…
Just like his mother, who said she loved him, but would always keep a distance between them .
“Are you afraid of me now?” ask Huo Sishen as he looked directly at her .
Gu Shishi gulped . She wondered if he’d kill her if she told him the truth .
His look was unbelievably intimidating .
Huo Sishen let out a slight chuckle .
Ah, she was just another one of them . Even down to the way she looked when she was afraid to tell the truth .
He had seen that one way too many times .
His mother, grandmother, brother, the servants at home … friends… .
Yes, he was the one that cursed his father, his grandfather, and his wives… . . he was the one that everybody wanted to avoid at all costs .
“Ugh, Mr . Huo, I am here to return your suit and to thank you for buying me new clothes . ” Gu Shishi took a glance at his deep and coldly prideful look, but she told him her purpose anyway .
The smile on the corner of his mouth immediate turned into a cruel look .
“Just throw it out . ”
She was just like the woman who referred to him as her son .
That woman couldn’t wait to move everything that belonged to him out of the main house . She said it was so he could continue using them, but in reality, she was scared that anything that belonged to him would bring her bad luck .
And this woman standing in front of him right now was also scared .

Everything that she had said this morning . That she wanted to “stay by his side”… They were all lies!
“Get out!” He couldn’t contain his anger and his pain .
“Oh?” Gu Shishi was baffled . What did she say to anger him?
Eh? Was it the way that she started the conversation?
“Then, should I give your suit to Si Yi for him to take care of?”
Huo Sishen’s splitting headache was a 100-times worse than it was before .
Looking up, he seemed to be able to catch a glance of her jade-like elegant and petite face . It seemed to be even more tender and lovely than it was earlier . And, her pink lips opened and closed, chattering non-stop… . Like those annoying birds outside of the window .
He lifted his hand . He wanted to tell her to get out again, but he couldn’t get the words out of him .
“Eh? Do you want your suit?”

Seeing his stretched-out arm, Gu Shishi naturally handed over the suit .
As soon as she got close to him, Huo Sishen immediately smelled that barely noticeably rose fragrance again… . It was from her .
He smelled it earlier today too .
Soft, sweet, and fragrant . Not too tart, not too overwhelming .
It reminded him of when he used to follow the old butler around when he was watering the blooming roses in the summer days .
The sun had been blinding, and the cicada made nonstop noises . He stayed there soaked in sweat until the old butler smiled and took him home by his hand… .
Gu Shishi was trying to hand his suit over to him and accidentally touched his large, feverish hand .
She let out a small cry but when she wanted to withdraw her hand, it was already grabbed tightly by him!
His strength was strong like that of a clamp, and she couldn’t struggle free .
“Boss… . Boss Huo?” Gu Shishi couldn’t comprehend what was going on .

In just a few seconds, however, the large hand that was grabbing her let go of her slowly .
Gu Shishi looked up with her limpid eyes and was surprised .
The vicious person that was on the couch just a few moments ago now had his eyes closed, even his cold and stiff features seemed to have relaxed some .
His breathing was peaceful and relaxing .
His long and thick eyelashes cast shadows on his handsome face . He looked quite like a pretty boy falling asleep .
Eh… he fell asleep?
Gu Shishi was astonished .
