A cool and classical beauty, a fallen socialite, against an untamed and roguish Hong Kong scion. Five years after their breakup, Gu Xiangsi never expected to encounter her first love again upon ret...
Chapter 5 Mr. Fu, are you sure you are injured there?
He heard what was said on the phone.
Being stared at, she instinctively crossed her arms, then immediately released them.
"Don't bother." His voice was cold. "My medical report is probably cleaner than your company's quarterly financial report."
"Sharp-tongued."
As he finished speaking, he had already left the elevator.
On the way here, Gu Xiangsi searched for Sinian Group on the software and found out that it was founded by him three years ago.
Moreover, it only took him one year to acquire and merge his father's group, making the Sinian Group a leader in the Hong Kong investment industry.
Hong Kong TVB commented on him as cold-blooded, ruthless and decisive, and he is feared in the business circle.
Gu Xiangsi walked out of the elevator in a daze and walked into the president's office.
The floor-to-ceiling windows on three sides overlook the Victoria Harbour. The space is spacious, with cold white marble floors. The entire office looks like a model room, luxurious but empty, without a trace of warmth.
It fits him very well.
Fu Sinian walked straight to the sofa.
Just as the woman was about to sit down, he stopped her: "Jingjia, I need to take care of something now. Let Assistant Li take you to eat something first."
The woman said angrily, "Brother Si Nian, then you have to have dinner with me."
Fu Si's gaze fell on the awkwardly standing woman for a moment and he nodded in agreement.
The girl named Jingjia stood up, glanced at Gu Xiangsi again, and then turned and left.
Special Assistant Li was very considerate and closed the door.
The office suddenly became quiet, so quiet that Gu Xiangsi could hear her own heartbeat.
Fu Sinian lazily sank into the black leather sofa, his bony hands rolling up his shirt sleeves to his forearms, revealing the cold, hard metal watch on his wrist.
His crossed long legs swayed slightly, and then he raised his eyelids and glanced at her tense body.
"Manager Gu, what do you want to talk to me about?"
Gu Xiangsi knew he was playing dumb, but still handed him the folder with both hands: "Mr. Chen asked me to deliver the investment plan."
Fu Sinian didn't answer, so she had to put the documents on the coffee table. She was neither standing nor sitting, grabbing the corners of her shirt with both hands, and her little finger was unconsciously spinning in circles.
Fu Sinian caught a glimpse of this little movement, and his eyes passed over her little finger and flashed for a moment.
It's the same as always, he behaves like this when he's nervous.
He tugged at his tie, then casually pulled a chain from his pocket and lazily admired it.
Gu Xiangsi stared at the necklace in his hand and the "XS" logo.
The man said casually, "Manager Gu, is there anything else? Do you want me to treat you to a meal?"
Gu Xiangsi's fingers turned white as she tugged at the corner of her shirt. She took a deep breath and said, "Mr. Fu, can you give me the chain back?"
Fu Sinian glanced at her profile.
Fair and delicate, the young lady who once dared to challenge him now has to be careful even when speaking.
He suddenly felt irritated. "What chain?"
"Mr. Fu, you ask even though you already know the answer."
Gu Xiangsi raised her head suddenly and met his smiling eyes.
"I remember someone throwing it away with their own hands."
He shook the chain in his hand, which was swaying gently with his movements, reflecting a fine and cold luster in the light.
Fu Sinian stood up and approached, "I'm curious, Manager Gu, when did you pick it up?"
"That's not the point."
Fu Sinian suddenly strode up to her. Gu Xiangsi subconsciously stepped back, and her lower back hit the cold floor-to-ceiling window, leaving her with no way to retreat.
He stretched out his hand to hold the glass to trap her, and his breath swept across the tip of her ear: "I gave you the chain..."
He deliberately lowered his voice and asked, "Now that the property has been returned to its original owner, does Manager Gu have any objections?"
Gu Xiangsi had no way to resist the oppressive feeling that men bring.
“…”?
"No..." She opened her lips, but the man got there first.
"Five years." He suddenly took a step closer. "You've learned to use your words as a shield."
The tall figure completely enveloped her, and the familiar woody fruity scent mixed with the scent of male hormones lingered at the tip of her nose.
Gu Xiangsi's heart was about to jump out of her throat, and her fingertips pressed against his chest.
"Mr. Fu!" She forced herself to calm down, her voice trembling slightly, "I'll buy this chain."
The man's eyes darkened, and he lifted her chin with his slender fingers and moved closer again, lips touching teeth. If Gu Xiangsi moved slightly, their lips would touch.
He really couldn't understand. She was the one who said she wanted to break up, and she was the one who kept the chain.
Her breathing became rapid, her legs and feet even felt a little weak, and in a panic she instinctively leaned back on the glass.
He let go of my hand in disgust, his tone questioning.
"Manager Gu, you're quite straightforward. Why were you so straightforward when you threw it away back then?"
She completely threw him and his feelings for her away.
Gu Xiangsi didn't know how to answer this question. Besides, he had a new person by his side now, so there was no need to explain anything.
She tilted her head and said casually, "My name is engraved on it."
Fu Sinian nodded, giving a lame excuse.
"The price is 5 million."
Gu Xiangsi widened her eyes and looked at him in disbelief.
She knew that the necklace was designed by him, but she didn't expect it to be so expensive.
"Can't it be cheaper?"
"In Manager Gu's eyes, this necklace is worthless, or do you think my things are so cheap?"
She hesitated to speak, and Fu Sinian felt depressed. "You sold me for 20 million back then. Where's the money? Did you spend it all?"
Gu Xiangsi looked up at him again in surprise. How could he know?
His brother told him?
That's right, now that she's back, his brother must be worried that their old relationship will rekindle, so he told him about her despicable behavior.
Forget it, some things are in the past. It was my own choice, so I can’t blame others.
The chain is very important to her.
It was her only thought when she was wandering in a foreign country.
Gritting her teeth, she whispered, "Mr. Fu, give me some time."
Fu Sinian looked at her expression and saw that she was not moved by any persuasion and refused to tell the truth, so he lost interest even more.
He straightened up, walked to the sofa and sat down. His eyes fell on the coffee table, and his tone suddenly changed: "I'm not satisfied with the plan."
Gu Xiangsi was stunned, and then she remembered that the person in front of her was the ruthless Fu Sinian.
There is a ruthless determination to discipline people in his bones.
Their relationship is very awkward now, so any attitude of his is perfectly normal.
She forced a formal smile and said, "Mr. Fu, please take a closer look. Is there anything that doesn't suit your taste?"
Fu Sinian leaned back on the sofa, not even bothering to lift his eyelids: "None of this suits me."
It was obvious that he was dissatisfied with her, but work was work, and personal matters could not be kept separate?
Gu Xiangsi had no choice but to suppress her emotions: "I'll report to Mr. Chen right away."
Fu Sinian raised the corners of his lips slightly, and spoke in a low and slow voice, as if he was reciting an insignificant reminder.
"Manager Gu, I have an appointment with a private doctor..."
"Examination of the injury." He deliberately dragged out the last word to emphasize the tone.
Gu Xiangsi paused and scanned his entire body with an inquiring expression.
Subconsciously, he said, "Mr. Fu, are you sure you're injured there?"
