Gu Chenan was very speechless.
He glanced at Hoshino Kannon's thoughtful expression and frowned.
【This crazy woman is up to no good again.】
At this moment, Hoshino Kannon raised her head, looking at Gu Chenan with a pair of gentle eyes.
"Mr. Gu... do you like me?"
"Ha?"
Gu Chenan was stunned and quickly pointed at Hoshino Kannon, "I warn you, don't spread rumors!"
【I like you?】
【Why would I like you? Like that you're a crazy woman? Or that you're a female demon who can kill without blinking an eye, or that you want to kill me?】
【I don't know what you're thinking every day. Mind your own business!】
Hearing Gu Chenan's inner thoughts, Hoshino Kannon smiled slightly.
This Gu Chenan obviously likes me but doesn't admit it at all.
Tsk tsk, shy?
"Mr. Gu, I like you too~" Hoshino Kannon said softly with her head down.
"I told you not to randomly spread rumors. Who the hell likes you?" Gu Chenan said unpleasantly.
Hoshino Kannon chuckled.
Hmph, men, dare to deny it.
Alright alright, since you've been protecting me everywhere, I won't force you to admit it.
Anyway, I'm giving you a chance to pursue me. Whether you can pursue me or not depends on your performance.
"Fine fine, I'll just assume for now that you don't like me," Hoshino Kannon said arrogantly.
"Assume for now?"
Gu Chenan helplessly pursed his lips, "Think whatever you want. Can you leave my room now?"
With her hands behind her back, Hoshino Kannon hopped to Gu Chenan like a young girl, "Mr. Gu, I'll go back first."
Gu Chenan waved his hand.
Hoshino Kannon grinned. In a flash, she quickly puckered her red lips and kissed Gu Chenan on the cheek.
Gu Chenan immediately covered the place on his face that had been kissed by Hoshino Kannon and took two steps back.
"What are you doing?"
【Are you crazy? Why did you kiss me?】
【Do you believe I'll call the cops now saying you sexually harassed me?】
With her hands behind her back, Hoshino Kannon walked to the window and glanced at Gu Chenan, "I'm leaving. Consider that kiss your reward. Enjoy it secretly."
Reward?
Gu Chenan blinked in confusion.
What does she mean?
Before he could think it through, he saw Hoshino Kannon wave at him. Then she leapt out the window and disappeared.
Gu Chenan hurried forward to close and lock the window.
"A madwoman will always be mad. Her words make no sense."
After complaining, Gu Chenan walked out of the room and called downstairs, "Ma Bing."
"Young Master Gu." Ma Bing quickly came to Gu Chenan’s door.
"Contact the branch company in Suhang. We're going to Suhang tomorrow."
"Yes."
...
Whoosh~
Outside the Gu Family Manor, Hoshino Kannon landed in a squat.
She stood up and looked back at Gu Chenan's room, then smiled slightly.
Acting like you don't care?
You've clearly been protecting me everywhere, yet you deny liking me.
Tsk tsk.
At this thought, Hoshino Kannon was suddenly taken aback.
Wait no, didn't I always plan to wait until Gu Chenan fell in love with me before making my move and killing him?
Why didn't I think of that after just confirming that he likes me?
Hoshino Kannon blinked.
That's right, I did plan to kill him after he fell in love with me.
But the problem is he just likes me now, he doesn't love me yet.
Also, even if I were to kill him, I'd have to wait until he personally tells me he loves me.
As for now, just pretend you haven't fallen in love with me yet!
"Hmm, that's right, that's how it is," Hoshino Kannon affirmed with a nod.
...
In the corridor.
"Young Master, do you need me to bring some security?" Ma Bing asked.
Gu Chenan nodded, "Bring whoever needs to come. We’ll be staying in Suhang for a long time."
"Oh right," Gu Chenan added. "Tell the steward of the Suhang Manor to bring people and tidy up the manor in advance."
"Understood."
The Gu Family also had a manor in Suhang that was comparable to the one in Donghai.
It was just that because no one had lived in the Suhang Manor for a long time, there was only a steward and a few cleaners there.
At this moment, Bai Yutian came over holding a plate of little cakes she made herself.
"Young Master Gu," she said softly, standing two meters away from Gu Chenan.
"Can't you see we're talking? What are you doing here?" Gu Chenan said unpleasantly.
He had to maintain his image even though he didn't care about the plot.
So he could only speak harshly to Bai Yutian. But in fact, Gu Chenan had already minimized the level of harshness in his words to the lowest possible degree..
"I...I came to bring cakes for Young Master Gu." Bai Yutian pursed her lips.
"Put them in my room."
"Yes."
Bai Yutian put the little cakes on the bedside table in Gu Chenan's room, then came back out and stood next to Gu Chenan.
"Anything else?" Gu Chenan raised his brows.
"No...nothing." Bai Yutian shook her head.
"If nothing, hurry up and scram." Gu Chenan said unpleasantly.
"Yes." Bai Yutian nodded and turned to leave. But after taking a few steps, she suddenly turned back, "Young Master, are you going to Suhang?"
Gu Chenan was surprised, "None of your business whether I'm going or not. Hurry and get lost."
Bai Yutian clasped the hem of her little skirt with both fists, her eyes looking down, "Can you take me with you?"
Huh?!
Gu Chenan was stunned.
【WTF is happening?】
【I speak harshly to you every day, yet not only do you not want to avoid me, you even want to go to Suhang with me?】
【Could Sweetie Pie be the rumored... masochist?】
Gu Chenan looked at Bai Yutian, his gaze subconsciously drifting to her pair of pink and flawless, food-grade white silk little feet.
【Uh... I guess taking you along isn't bad. 】
【After all, I'll miss seeing your little white silk feet for such a long time...】
Coming back to his senses, Gu Chenan raised his brows, "Aren't you afraid I'll scold you every day?"
Bai Yutian swallowed, mustering her courage, "I'm not afraid! If Young Master isn't around, there won't be anyone to scold me!"
"Ha?"
Gu Chenan was stunned again.
【Are you hearing this? 】
【Sweetie Pie is totally a masochist!】
【Well, since you're a masochist, then I don't need to hold back and can fully play the villain in front of you!】
Gu Chenan nodded, "Fine, since you want to go I’ll take you along."
Bai Yutian's face immediately lit up as she hurriedly said, "Thank you, Young Master!"
Gu Chenan waved his hand, "Alright alright, hurry up and scram, don't stand here blocking the way."
"Okay, I’m scramming now!" Bai Yutian chuckled and bounced away down the stairs like a little white rabbit.
Gu Chenan watched Bai Yutian’s figure in astonishment.
【This can't be real right? You're so happy when I tell you to scram. You really are a masochist!】
【Hmm~ Should I buy some ball gags, blindfolds, whips to train this masochist properly?】
【Not a bad idea, eh?】
