Chapter 349 - Did the boss get an upgrade? What's with these mushy words? (3)

Its getting cold. Put some socks on, said Huo Sishen, his voice hoarse, after looking at her through narrowed eyes for a little while.

Oh

Gu Shishi lowered her head and pouted unhappily.

What was the point of putting socks on right before bedtime?

The thought made her feel being treated unfairly.

It wasnt like they had never been together before.

After all the intimacy that they have had a few days ago and, now that they were back home, he returned to the I-am-your-father look? That was very distressing.

She was unhappy.

Huo Sishen lowered his eyes and noticed every change of emotions on her.

Was this because he didnt respond to her that he missed her as well when he returned home this afternoon?

Just like Qin Ruhai had said. He had hurt her feelings.

But how could he possibly say something like that in front of someone else?

Huo Sishen frowned and tightened his thin lips.

As though he had undergone a long and hard struggle and a battle between the left and right sides of his brain, he finally, with difficulty, cleared his throat with his fist next to his mouth.

Er, actually, today, I, er

Gu Shishi, who was displeased, perked up her ears.

Huo Sishen cleared his throat a couple more times and turned away a little.

I missed you too.

Gu Shishis little mouth formed into an O.

She looked up in disbelief, as though this was the first time she had met this mushy man.

What was going on?!

Was the boss upgraded?

The sappiness came so suddenly!

Gu Shishis cheeks were burning immediately.

Most of the displeasure was gone immediately!

She felt a little shy and a little joy. It was like she has just had some honey. It was little sweet but not overly so but it lingered for a long time.

Darn!

It was getting to her head!

Really?

Her lips were already starting to curve upward.

Huo Sishen changed the subject awkwardly. Lets talk inside the room. You shouldnt be running around in your sleepwear.

In his mind, any display of the arms and legs should be confined only to the bedroom and only in front of him.

No other man shall see her like this.

Even though nobody would dare walk up and down the hallways after 10 PM in the mansion.

Nevertheless, he did not even want to think about that possibility.

Back to the room?

Gu Shishi blinked and suddenly felt that perhaps she was all upset over nothing earlier.

Okay!

She was happy all over again.

Huo Sishen couldn't help but curved his lips upwards. He reached out and touched the bun on her head.

Lets go.

She was like a child.

What Qin Ruhai said was right.

She was undergoing a dependent state.

Just like him when he had first moved out from his family. All he wanted to do was to follow the old butler around and not want to spend even a second alone.

You dont with your work today already?

Gu Shishi blinked.

Huo Sishens hand that was resting on the door handle paused.

Mmm.

The old butlers love for him was unconditionally. He never asked for anything in return.

He, on the other hand, didnt seem to be able to do the same. The closer he got to her, the more he wanted for her to be his.

He had thought that he could control his own emotions.

But now --- ---

There was some sort of stirring inside his dark eyes.

Divorce. When he heard that word from the Gus he wanted to annihilate the entire family.

He was beginning to lose control of himself.

Gu Shishi, hearing his response, was shy all over again.

Nevertheless, she attributed that to the Bride halo. Rowr~

As soon as they returned to her room, she tossed the pillow in her arms onto the bed.

You seemed so busy lately. Did the wedding take too much of your time?

She sat down next to the bed, impossibly docile.

The type that made one want to wrap his arms around her slender waste and give her a rough kiss.

No, just normal work.

Huo Sishen moved away his cold and fierce look.

He had lost control of himself that first night.

She just thought it was all very novel and him, like a teenage boy who didnt know any better, played along with her.
