“What is there to talk about?
Save your time and talk to Lin Kexin!” Gu Xiaoer angrily threw down these words and disappeared around the corner in twists and turns.
A flash of resolve crossed her eyes, it was too late for him to come looking for her now, wasn’t it?
Lu Tianze, left behind, searched for a long while to no avail and left with a shake of his head, somewhat dejected.
Seeing her appear so stunning tonight, and seeing that kind of man by her side, he was impetuously compelled to seek her out.
Leaning against the dimly lit corridor wall, Gu Xiaoer’s weary expression returned in a flash, the tension she had held for two days finally relaxed at this moment.
…
Atop Shenghan Building in the city center, a tall figure leaned into the leather sofa, overlooking the entire city from the huge floor-to-ceiling window.
Wei Feng entered and immediately noticed the man’s cold and aloof silhouette.
Approaching, he spied the man busy tapping rapidly on his mobile phone.
Boss: I’ll give you a discount of one hundred Yuan, accompany me in chat for ten minutes.
Little Monster: Scram!
Wei Feng’s heart skipped a beat, ‘Little Monster’—who was that?
Was it Miss Gu from last night who was conned out of one hundred thousand Yuan by the Boss?
Unable to curb the immense curiosity and excitement, he risked getting cross-eyed to continue reading.
Boss: Such fiery temper, no wonder you’re breaking out in pimples!
Little Monster: Moles!
I’ll emphasize again, these are moles!
OK?
Boss: Could it be that you’re so fired up because you’re missing me?
Such hidden humor!
Wei Feng clicked his tongue in wonder, never expecting the usually cold and abstinent Boss to utter such humorously shameless, downmarket quips.
Impressive, impressive!
Little Monster: Pssh!
In your dreams!
“Pfft!” Standing off to the side, Wei Feng couldn’t help but burst out laughing, though he had only seen her once, he could almost picture the naïve girl, with wide eyes grinding her teeth in frustration, uttering such indignant words.
Raising his eyes again, he met his Boss’s noble and cold gaze, just as a flirtatiously brazen message was being sent:
“It seems like the red mole over your heart dreams of me!”
Red mole?
Over her heart?
Wei Feng’s mouth dropped open, and it took him ages to squeak out, “Too…
Too too!”
The indifferent man showed no sympathy: “Don’t think playing dumb will get you forgiven.”
“It’s a misunderstanding, Boss!” Wei Feng clammed up, blurting out excitedly and incoherently, “I mean it’s such a coincidence!
You’ve finally found the wife you’ve been separated from for so many years!”
“What?” Han Luoli raised an eyebrow, closed his phone, and stood up in front of the floor-to-ceiling window.
He lit a cigarette slowly and deliberately, held it to his thin lips, and blew out a ring of smoke.
After a moment, he turned around with a frown: “Are you saying she is my childhood betrothed?”
Wei Feng nodded like a pecking chicken, then seemed to remember something and shook his head.
“Boss, your fiancée is supposed to have a red mole over her heart.
If Miss Gu has the other turquoise earring, then there’s no doubt about it.”
Taking another deep drag of his cigarette, the man spoke: “I wasn’t aware.”
So, just how much did you disregard this matter, when it was clearly laid out in that document?
“Boss, this is all of Miss Gu’s information,” Wei Feng respectfully handed it over.
Han Luoli nodded lightly, his long fingers opening the file.
Wife, huh…
If he had to choose someone to marry, this little thing didn’t seem too bad.
“?” His handsome eyebrows slightly furrowed, and they twisted even more as he read the next line: “Incomplete information?”
Wei Feng nodded: “Exactly.
There is no record of Miss Gu before the age of five, and after that, she lived by herself.
Her household registration only lists her as well…”
Han Luoli gestured him to stop, his brow deeply furrowed.
The details from age five to twenty-two were meticulous; his gaze swept lightly over them, landing on a page.
Four years ago, she fell ill and nearly lost her life.
If it wasn’t for Lu Tianze timely rushing her to the hospital, it’s feared…
