Chapter 174: 174
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 .
