Chapter 25 – Looking At Him Longingly (1)

DING DING DING!

Gu Shishi was woken up by the alarm on her cellphone at 7 AM the next morning.

She couldn’t sleep till midnight last night. She ate too much for dinner and spent the night playing Mr. Love: Queen’s Choice as she wasn’t able to fall asleep with a full stomach.

Now that she was woken up by her alarm, she felt tired and dizzy.

She wanted to crawl out of bed, but finally fell back down after yawning many times.

Finally, after snoozing three more times, she struggled to get out of bed. With severe dark circles around her eyes, she walked into the bathroom in extreme grogginess.

As she couldn’t keep her eyes open, she squinted as she brushed her teeth while randomly pulling something from her closet and put it on.

After she was done washing her face and looked in the mirror, she noticed that the white tee-shirt that she wearing had a large and eye-catching Chanel logo – the interlocking twin C’s – in gaudy sequins.

And, the denim skirt that she threw on had two dark blue ribbons on the side of the waist. On top of that, it was hand embroidery with the name “Givenchy” in English.

That was high-profile, alright.

She was used to like cotton clothing that was comfortable; rarely had she pursued designer brands.

But… it was all fate!

Gu Shishi looked at her left side and her right. She cracked open her mouth and smiled into the mirror for almost half a minute.

She was wearing $10,000 – $20,000 worth of blood bar, how could she not look gorgeous?

She looked gorgeous as hell!

Gu Shishi nodded happily.

She tidied up her purse and checked and made sure she has her cellphone, keys, and employee badge before she yawned and walked out of her room.

Coming downstairs, she walked through the corridor covered in red carpet. All the servants that she walked past were working with their heads down and not a peep could be heard, nor did anyone look up at her.

The entire mansion was like a dried-up well and everybody inside of it was expressionless.

“Morning~” Gu Shishi smiled and waved at them. She didn’t care if they responded back to her.

As she walked past the half-opened style small dining area next to the living room, Gu Shishi’s limpid eyes scanned and lingered over each breakfast item with utmost longing and tenderness….

Orange juice, soft-boiled eggs, tuna on toast with bacon on the side…..

These were all items that would fill up her blood bar!

These were all panacea that could keep her alive for a long, long time!

But, she wouldn’t be able to have them today. Sob!

Gu Shishi rubbed her starving tummy and regretted so much that she had slowed her steps.

As her sight continued to the end of the table, her almond-shaped limpid eyes abruptly met the cold, dark eyes that looked like an iced pond, cold as ice, and bottomless.

“Ugh…”

Gu Shishi’s pink lips dropped open a little. She was stunned.

Huo Sishen, in his full suit, was right now sitting properly at the end of the dinner table and having his breakfast solemnly.

He looked like he had just taken a shower and his wet hair was roughly brushed back by hand. His full and shiny forehead was exposed. It added another touch of roughness and wildness to his incredibly handsome face and also making him looked like a vicious beast who had just woken up in the morning.

“Big, big boss….”

She hadn’t seen him at the dining area in the last couple of days.

So that was because he woke up before her every day?

The fork in Huo Sishen’s hand paused for a bit.

His deep eyes squinted, “Big boss?”

Gu Shishi let out a howl within herself!

How was she so stupid to slip and address him by the secret nickname that she had for him.

“Ugh, mistake…. Mistake. Good morning, Mr. Huo.” She blushed slightly.
