Chapter 1 Be obedient, Hatsushiro

In the second month after Chu Shuang and Gu Sui broke up, the dull man finally remembered to win her back.

"Where are you?"

"Home."

"I saw that you were not in Minglan Garden."

"Yeah, we moved."

There was silence on the other end for a moment, then Gu Sui spoke up: "Are you still angry?"

Chu Shuang touched the little golden retriever's head and choked when she heard the words, "... Mr. Gu, we broke up, not because of a temper."

When his ex-girlfriend came to his house to show off and had her work disrupted, Chu Shuang sent him a breakup message while he was on a business trip abroad.

How did he respond then?

【I'll tell you when I get back.】

He is indeed a busy man.

"I have already warned Qian Yun. She won't dare to make trouble in front of you again." The man's voice was actually very nice. Having been in a high position for a long time, he knew best what tone of voice could make people surrender. "She is not an ex-girlfriend. We just worked together in business a few times before."

"She said that we are ready to get married, and your two families are old friends, so you are a good match. I won't bother Mr. Gu to find my soulmate. If you don't know how to do it, the next time you lose something, it might not be your job."

The sound of a lighter came from the receiver, probably lighting a cigarette, and Gu Sui's tone was a little light when he spoke again: "Where do you live? Let's talk in person."

Chu Shuang sighed, "I really don't want to talk about it anymore. Let's part ways in peace, Mr. Gu. I just want to live a simple and stable life. You have so many beauties behind you, any one of them is more caring than me."

Gu Sui narrowed his eyes, "Are you saying these words on purpose to irritate me?"

Hatsushimo: "You know I don't like to argue with others."

The man sneered: "I can find it even if you don't tell me."

After hanging up the phone, Chu Shuang stared at the roses in the vase in a daze.

She knew the methods of this man Gu Sui. He was powerful and influential, and he could call the shots in Xiangcheng. There was nothing he couldn't do as long as he wanted to.

But she didn't expect that he would actually come back to look for her. With his cold and arrogant personality, he was only interested in pleasing women, so there was no reason for him to come back to pursue a woman.

You shouldn't mess with a man like Gu Sui.

It was all because I was impulsive at the time, and I had been in love since I was a child, so I had a relationship with him out of curiosity.

Grandpa called yesterday to talk about her marriage with the Sheng family. At this critical juncture, Chu Shuang didn't want to cause any more trouble.

…

She thought that no matter how powerful Gu Sui was, it would take him more than a month to find her. But when he showed up in a cafe she often went to after get off work, Chu Shuang witnessed his power for the first time.

Gu Sui has no shortage of women, but he is not casual either. He has extremely high standards and is very picky when it comes to choosing a girlfriend - or a female companion. He is very indifferent in terms of emotions and he likes independent and non-clingy women.

Therefore, during the two months of dating Gu Sui, Chu Shuang did not feel much reality. She naturally thought that Gu Sui did not have many feelings for her, and thought that the breakup would be smooth. It was not until he came after her that she suddenly realized that Gu Sui would not tolerate a woman taking the dominant position, and he had to be the one to initiate the breakup.

It's raining outside today. The air is hazy and humid, and the mist in the cup is blinding.

Gu Sui looked at the person sitting opposite him, looking down at his coffee instead of looking at him, and said directly: "Come back with me."

"I already have a good job here and don't want to change jobs."

"If you really want to stay here, that's fine," the man took a sip of coffee slowly, "but it just takes a little more time. I can take time off every Saturday to come and accompany you. In this way, we can be considered a long-distance relationship."

Chu Shuang raised her eyes, opened and closed her thin lips several times before she said, "Boss Gu, it's a waste of your time and energy for us to be together like this. It's really better for us to break up."

"Qian Yun, I have already warned you that similar things will not happen again. My last relationship was two years ago and it is over now."

"Do you like me?" Chu Shuang suddenly asked.

There was a two-second silence in the air, and she spoke first, "Actually, I don't think you like me that much. After all, our relationship started a little hastily. You just needed a female companion, and I happened to be more sleepy. And I was also impulsive, mistaking being touched for being moved, so this relationship would never last. Our personalities and ways of doing things are also very different... I am very grateful for your help during the internship, and I am still very grateful to you when I think about it today. I'm sorry that you brought up the breakup first. But I did think about it for a long time before I spoke up. It's not that you are not good, it's really that we are not suitable. Mr. Gu, you have so many outstanding beauties around you, you don't have to waste your time on me."

Gu Sui stared at her for a moment, his dark eyes indifferent, "No one is born suitable, and it is not up to you to decide whether it is suitable or not."

His bony long fingers tapped lightly on the tabletop from time to time, glancing at Chushuang's crimson lips, Gu Sui smiled, "Be obedient, Chushuang."

The man's eyes were curved, and his tone was coaxing. But he didn't look gentle at all, and there was a hint of strength all over his body.

After staring at each other for a few seconds, Chu Shuang looked away and said in a negotiating tone: "I don't care what kind of woman you want. I'm a very boring person..."

"It seems like you are determined," Gu Sui Bolan was not surprised, and looked at her with a slightly deep gaze, "I have gotten nothing after two months of dating, so before we break up, shouldn't you exercise some of your rights as a boyfriend?"

The most they did between them was limited to hugging. Gu Sui took into consideration that she was his first love and that she had just gone through some bad things at the time, so he was restrained and polite to her and they didn't even kiss.

"Of course, more than just kissing."

Feeling his burning gaze, Chu Shuang could no longer sit still. She pulled out her chair and left. "A forced melon is not sweet."

Looking at her fleeing back, Gu Sui did not chase after her, with a happy smile on his face.

After leaving the coffee shop, Chu Shuang walked briskly downstairs in the community. Someone was selling pancakes at a stall, and when she smelled the fragrance, she realized that she had not had dinner.

She ordered two at once. While waiting for the pancakes, she was in a daze for a while. When her aunt saw this, she couldn't help laughing, "You look so much like my daughter when you frown."

Chu Shuang looked at the aunt with gentle features and said, "I've encountered a little problem."

"It's okay. You're so young and pretty, there's nothing you can't handle." Auntie packed up the pancakes and said with a smile, "Eat the hot pancakes, and you'll be a good man tomorrow morning."

Chu Shuang laughed, and saw that Gu Sui's depression was finally driven away a little by the pancake and his aunt.

The next day, she went to work as usual. In order to avoid running into Gu Sui, she took a different route and didn't pass by the coffee shop. Although she knew that Gu Sui would have many ways to find her, she still took a detour.

She was not happy for long. On the third day when she went to work, her boss called her to the office hesitantly, and there was only one main point in his words - the company no longer wanted her.

Chu Shuang thought it was ridiculous, but upon closer thought, it was something Gu Sui could do.

After packing her things and returning to her residence, she had only one thought in her mind.

She has to leave Xiangcheng as soon as possible!

But where to go was a problem. She couldn't go home and she couldn't guarantee that Gu Sui would not follow her.

I opened my phone and checked Weibo in frustration, and found a lot of private messages. One of them stood out. It was from an editor of a comic website.

Hatsushimo likes to draw, and she has been running the account since college. She often draws some small comics, sometimes they are cute short stories, and sometimes she will serialize some romantic comics when she gets inspiration. After three years of accumulation, she has nearly 500,000 fans and is considered a well-known lady in the circle.

This editor works for the country's largest comic website, Kite Comics, which has extremely stringent contract terms and has produced many popular comics.

Becoming an author and illustrator for Kite Animation has always been Hatsushimo's dream. She had submitted several manuscripts before but all were rejected. This time, the editor came directly to her. Happiness came too quickly, and she seized it wisely.

The imperial capital is far away from the emperor, and it is also a good place to hide from the Sui Dynasty.

*

Imperial capital.

After completing the onboarding procedures at the headquarters building on the first day, Hatsushimo returned to the hotel.

The most important thing right now is to find a house. Staying in a hotel every day is not an option.

After looking at the property listings on the website for a few days, she finally went to see the property on site on the weekend and realized how difficult it was to find a property in the capital.

They were all people who were selling dog meat under the guise of selling mutton. Either the monthly rent for a ten-square-meter apartment was less than three thousand yuan, or the rooms were old and had a low safety factor. What was even worse was that in one of the houses, the moment she opened the door, she saw little mice chasing and playing with each other.

The next weekend she went to see another batch of houses, and this time she finally found a suitable one, with two bedrooms, a living room and a bathroom, and good decoration, ventilation and lighting. Although the rent was a bit expensive, the landlord promised to find a roommate for her as soon as possible, so that she could also reduce the financial burden.

There's nothing wrong with sharing a house, as everyone has their own bedroom and everything is clearly separated.

However, Chu Shuang, who had never suffered, witnessed the dangers of the world soon after entering society.

On the weekend, the landlord brought a bearded man to see the house. The man looked to be in his forties, with a chubby face, but his eyes were very straightforward when he looked at people. The moment he saw her, he was like a hungry wolf seeing hot mutton.

The man was naturally very satisfied with the house and decided to live there immediately. He said he would go back and tidy up and move in the next day.

Later, Hatsushimo realized that there are many unscrupulous landlords nowadays who will do anything to make money. They first lure girls to live with them, and then use this as a gimmick to attract some male tenants.

That night she couldn't stand it anymore and went to find the landlord and told him that she only wanted a female tenant. The landlord perfunctorily put her off by saying that it was not easy to find an apartment and that it was normal for men and women to share a house these days.

Chu Shuang even suggested that she was willing to pay a high monthly rent and stop sharing the house with others, but the landlord said that it was not easy to go back on his word after receiving the deposit from a man. In the end, she could not agree with the talk and moved out of the wolf's den in anger.

After feeling depressed for half a month, he picked a good day to go to the bar for a drink.

"Beauty, are you alone?"

Hatsumei didn't raise her eyes.

"Oh, why are you ignoring me?"

Seeing the woman in front of him with raised eyebrows, Chu Shuang was slightly surprised, "Is it you?"
