After regaining her senses, Wu Xiaoxiao felt her face getting hot.
She made an excuse to go back to her room and stood in front of the bathroom mirror. The person in the mirror seemed a little unfamiliar.
The girl in the mirror had a rosy complexion, bright eyes, and two red blushes on her cheeks, making her look like a ripe apple.
Is this her?
Is she shy?
How could that be!
Wu Xiaoxiao shook her head violently, trying to clear her mind of all those thoughts and restore her clarity.
What happened last night must be related to Wu Lihong!
Therefore, she decided to visit the Wu family.
But Wu Lihong's men want to take her away. If she goes to Wu's house now, wouldn't she be walking into a trap?
Thinking of this, Wu Xiaoxiao took out her phone and dialed Wu Lizhen's number.
"You actually called me? Heh, so what do you want?" Wu Lizhen's voice came through the phone after it connected.
Hearing Wu Lizhen's voice, Wu Xiaoxiao felt a surge of irritation.
Wu Lizhen had been taking things from her since she was a child. Even when they were little, she would secretly cut her clothes or make them very dirty so that she couldn't wear them.
Later, she finally grew up and had enough ability, but Wu Lizhen still didn't change and remained the same as before.
"I want to ask you something," Wu Xiaoxiao said.
"Go ahead and ask," Wu Lizhen said nonchalantly.
"I need to know Wu Lihong's whereabouts," Wu Xiaoxiao said, getting straight to the point.
Hearing Wu Xiaoxiao's words, Wu Lizhen on the other end of the phone laughed.
"What do you mean by that?" Wu Xiaoxiao frowned.
"Hehe, it doesn't mean anything. I just wanted to tell you that you can't find out my brother's whereabouts just by wanting to know. You're not worthy!" Wu Lizhen said mockingly, not taking Wu Xiaoxiao's words to heart.
"Wu Lizhen, don't forget what you said. You still owe me a favor," Wu Xiaoxiao said in a deep voice.
Wu Lizhen was taken aback for a moment, then snorted coldly: "Wu Xiaoxiao, do you really think you're someone special now?"
Wu Xiaoxiao frowned: "Although I'm not anyone special, I can still deal with you."
"Heh, so what? My brother is my backer now. You can't afford to mess with him. You'd better stay away from him, or I'll make you regret it!" Wu Lizhen said.
"Is your brother that powerful? Just because he protects you, does that mean I'll be afraid of you?" Wu Xiaoxiao retorted sarcastically.
"Of course, I can guarantee that when you see my brother, you'll be kneeling on the ground begging for mercy, hahaha..."
Wu Lizhen laughed arrogantly and then hung up the phone.
Hearing the dial tone on the phone, Wu Xiaoxiao clenched her fists angrily. She knew that Wu Lizhen's words were meant to intimidate her.
But she was not afraid.
She gleaned two pieces of information from Wu Lizhen's words.
First, Wu Lihong was indeed plotting against her.
Secondly, the reason why Wu Lihong dared to scheme against her so blatantly must be because he had the permission of her biological father.
That's ridiculous.
Other fathers would cherish and pamper their daughters.
Her father wished he could trample her into the mud and let her be bullied by everyone.
Is this reality?
Is this fate?
She refused to believe in fate!
She also has her mother's love, and her mother takes great care of her.
A determined look appeared in Wu Xiaoxiao's eyes. After tidying herself up, she walked out of the room.
But she almost bumped into Gu Chenge.
Wu Xiaoxiao blurted out, "Why are you still here?"
"I'll wait for you," Gu Chenge said without hesitation.
"What are you waiting for me for?" Wu Xiaoxiao frowned.
"Let's have lunch!"
Gu Chenge spoke as if it were the most natural thing in the world.
Wu Xiaoxiao fell silent.
After staring at him for a few seconds, she gave in and walked out, saying, "I'm going to get the ingredients."
Consider it repaying the debt of saving his life!
Looking at Wu Xiaoxiao's slender back, Gu Chenge smiled and said, "I've already put the ingredients in the kitchen."
Wu Xiaoxiao frowned.
Was he so certain she would agree?
Although it was alright for him to ask her to cook a meal since he had saved her, she always felt like he was controlling her.
But she had no choice but to do it.
Stepping into the kitchen, Wu Xiaoxiao looked at the ingredients and suddenly felt a headache coming on.
Actually, her cooking skills are only up to her own standards of what she thinks is delicious. Her friends usually don't even touch her food, except for instant noodles.
But if he doesn't do it, he might come up with some other way to cling to her.
Fine, let's just do it this once.
Wu Xiaoxiao began washing the ingredients.
The ingredients were all obtained by Gu Chenge from the hotel; they were all very fresh and clean.
After washing the vegetables a second time, Wu Xiaoxiao picked up a kitchen knife and prepared to chop them.
Gu Chenge leaned against the doorway, watching Wu Xiaoxiao chopping vegetables, and couldn't help but be a little stunned.
She usually seems cold and unapproachable.
Actually, it's quite cute.
Wu Xiaoxiao felt Gu Chenge's gaze and her heart raced. She couldn't help but say, "Could you please stop bothering me here?"
"Feel sorry."
Gu Chenge composed herself and sat down on the sofa in the living room.
Just then, his phone rang.
Looking at the caller ID, Gu Chenge answered, "Don't contact me for anything today."
After saying that, he ended the call immediately.
The man on the other end of the phone was completely bewildered, not knowing what had happened, but he dared not disobey Gu Chenge's orders.
Gu Chenge sat in the living room, his eyes involuntarily drifting towards the kitchen. He had finally gotten a chance to spend time together, so how could he not take a good look?
