Chapter 38 – The Boss Has a Kind and Soft Heart (1)
Looking at Gu Shishi standing in front of her, Zhao Xian could go mad from jealousy.
How was she able to be engaged to someone who was of such a high caliber?!
“Aye, Zhao Xian, we should go eat!” Ling Xiaomei walked over and grabbed her.
Since Zhao Xian had mocked her painting in front of everyone earlier, she was definitely not one of her favorite people right now.
“Let’s go! Shishi is so lucky. No need to be jealous here,” added Ling Xiaomei.
Zhao Xian grinded her teeth even more.
“That’s right. Let’s go, let’s go.”
The other ones from the art center had also recollected themselves......
They didn’t know how to act in front of the cold man in the backseat, so they all left in a hurry.
“Shishi, we are going to the new steak house. You should come join us in a little~ Don’t eat alone, that’s so lonely,” said her colleagues passionately.
Gu Shishi nodded.
She wanted to wave and smile at them but she… couldn’t.
Her hand that was in the boss’s right hand has already been frozen solid.
Even through the car door, she could feel the cold air that could cover the heaven and earth slamming at her as if they were free.
Even though she was standing on the ground that had been beaten down by the summer sun, half of her body felt chilled.
After her colleagues from the art center left, she stiffly turned and looked at the man’s now baleful, foul-mood, could-almost-strangle-her-right-there-on-the-spot’s… death stare!
“Ugh…”
Gu Shishi gulped.
She caught sight of Siyi out of the corner of her eyes and he, too, looked as though he had just seen a ghost!
Oh sh*t!
She was holding onto the boss’s hand!
She had forgotten that the boss was a germaphobe and hated to be touched.
“How much longer are you going to keep holding me for?!” Each and every single word from Huo Sishen sound like they were squeezed out through his teeth!
“Oh, sor…sorry!”
Gu Shishi quickly pulled back her own hand!
She quickly pulled out a pack of tissue from the pocket of her jean skirt in the next second. She wanted to pull one out, but then she paused in the middle of her action.
“Eh… boss, oh, I mean, Mr. Huo, Would you like to take one to wipe your hand with?”
Gu Shishi pushed the tissue toward him in a flattering manner, and she even carefully opened it half way.
“I’m sorry. So sorry. I saw you reaching out your hand and thought you had a moment of mercy for me and wanted to shake hands with me to celebrate our friendship.”
Hearing her words, the veins on his right hand that he had just retrieved almost exploded.
“Siyi, drive!” Each word of his was filled to the brim with his brooding anger.
Siyi, sitting in the driver’s seat, bitterly smiled and stepped on the gas.
At the same time, he left with Gu Shishi a look of admiration.
She was the very first woman who had the courage to hold his boss’s hand.
“Bye bye. Again, I’m so sorry~”
Gu Shishi dared not stand right up next to the car window anymore. She didn’t want to cause any more physical discomfort for the boss. She could only wave at Siyi from a few feet away.
Huo Sishen was a severe germaphobe. Even the workers at the mansion were required to wear gloves when they work, and even disinfect over 10 times a day.
She had been too smug!
He probably spoke up in an effort to help her out of the bind in front of her colleagues.
Yet she reached out and held his hand…
Even just one second would have made him feel awful, but he let her hold his hand in front of her colleagues so as not to embarrass her.
Even though his face was so dark he was on the verge of unleashing, but he never yelled at her.
“Boss… was truly a nice man with a kind and soft heart,” mumbled Gu Shishi as she saw the car off with her lunch boxes in her hand.
Inside the car, Siyi carefully peeked into the rearview mirror to check on his boss.
To his surprise, he found his boss staring at his own right hand with a complicated and profound look.
He didn’t use the wet hand wipes that they had in the car or any disinfecting alcohol.
Siyi shrank his neck a little and dared not look any further.
