Chapter 36: Little boy, you are my girlfriend!
"I have already got all the things. You and Fu Nanhe go back to China first. I will come back to apologize to you in two days. Is that okay?"
Ke Liman gently broke free from Su Guhuai's warm embrace, and her hand naturally fell on the exquisite mask on his desk and put it back on his face.
"Then you must maintain your current identity and not let your carefully planned drama be exposed."
Changing the subject, Ke Liman moved closer, pretending to be mysterious, with gossip gleaming in her eyes, "But coming to the point, I'm really curious, is it true that Xia Bingbing is willing to marry you without even seeing your true face? Is this considered a love brain?"
Su Gu Huai turned his head slightly, letting Ke Liman's fingers gently touch his cheek. He felt the warmth from her fingertips, his eyes flashing with a playful and gentle light, "I have seen you before, but I was just in disguise at the time."
His eyes were fixed on Ke Liman, as if he wanted to see through her inner thoughts. "Xiaoman, are you jealous?"
His voice was deep and magnetic, as if it could penetrate Ke Liman's heart, making her irresistible.
"Why should I be jealous? I should be happy to have a new sister-in-law!"
Ke Liman deliberately pronounced the word "sister-in-law" very heavily, as if she wanted to carve every syllable into the air.
After she finished speaking, Su Gu Huai looked at her with a pitiful look, like an abandoned puppy, as if he was the innocent victim, and she was the culprit who hurt him.
"Xiao Man, can you please forgive me this time?"
The magnetic voice echoed in her ears, accompanied by Su Guhuai's unique breath. Ke Liman had to admit that his voice was really nice.
She tried hard to calm herself down and tried to extricate herself from this inexplicable illusion, but every time she met Su Gu Huai's clear eyes, the feeling of innocence would come back quietly.
It actually made her start to reflect on whether she really had misunderstood him!
The beauty trap is so scary!
"I don't want to forgive you, but I can give you a chance to explain. First you have to let me solve these bad peach blossoms of yours!"
Ke Liman pushed Su Gu Huai away, tidied her clothes and walked out, but Su Gu Huai seemed very satisfied with her declaration of sovereignty and did not say anything more.
Who knew that when Ke Liman opened the door, she saw Xia Ye and Fu Nanhe walking towards her.
"Isn't Mr. Ye getting engaged today? It doesn't seem appropriate for you to be alone in the room with my girlfriend, right?"
Fu Nanhe acted decisively and pulled Ke Liman to his side. His big hands tightly wrapped around her waist, as if declaring her ownership to everyone. His possessiveness was unmistakable.
Su Guhuai switched back to his night-dust mode. He said nothing, just turned around and walked calmly towards the banquet hall.
Ke Liman looked at his departing back, which looked even darker under the light, as if carrying an indescribable loneliness and determination, and she suddenly felt panicked.
If he doesn't get engaged today, how can he get out of this unscathed?
"As a man, everyone understands."
Xia Ye seemed to be nonchalant and tried to smooth things over, shaking his dirty braids. Then he followed Ye Chen's steps closely, and the two of them walked towards the banquet hall together.
With their departure, Ke Liman and Fu Nanhe were the only two people left in the corridor, and the atmosphere became somewhat subtle.
"Hey! Little boy, don't forget that you are my girlfriend now. Don't get too close to other men."
Fu Nanhe suddenly walked forward, stretched out his hand and ruffled Ke Liman's hair, his face full of dissatisfaction, "Especially him, stay away from him."
Ke Liman frowned slightly and looked at Fu Nanhe with some displeasure, but thinking that she still needed his help, she had to swallow her dissatisfaction and said lightly: "There is nothing between him and me, and you..."
She looked Fu Nanhe up and down, with a mocking smile on her face, "With you, there is no possibility."
Although she said this, there was a hint of helplessness and compromise in Ke Liman's tone.
Because she needed Fu Nanhe's help now, even though she was very dissatisfied, she could not offend him for the time being.
Fu Nanhe seemed dissatisfied with her answer, but he did not continue to pester her. He looked at Ke Liman deeply and said, "Let's go back."
Ke Liman raised an eyebrow, "Where to?"
"Return home."
As if he could see Ke Liman's confusion, Fu Nanhe waved the contract in his hand and continued, "I've got what I want. Otherwise, do you think I really came here to see them get engaged?"
"Can you bring one more person? I'll pay you back later."
Ke Liman suddenly spoke, and Fu Nanhe was very surprised: "Who? Don't tell me I'm the one wearing the mask."
When Ke Liman brought Fu Nanhe to find Zhu Qian, Zhu Qian was still busy there, like a tireless working machine.
Ke Liman walked up to Zhu Xi and whispered, "Zhu Xi, I'm leaving. Do you want to go with me?"
Perhaps it was because Ke Liman's attitude towards her before was too indifferent, Zhu Qian did not seem to have expected that Ke Liman would actually call her name and invite her to leave with him.
But she quickly concealed her surprise and smiled gently, with a hint of bitterness and helplessness in her smile.
"No." She shook her head and returned her gaze to the work in her hands. "I feel good here. I'm used to this kind of life."
Ke Liman couldn't understand, "You really don't want to go out? Whatever you say outside is better than committing fraud here!"
"Everyone has his or her own choice. Go quickly and I wish you a safe journey."
Zhu Qian seemed to no longer have the same care and intimacy towards her as before. She returned to her job and started working again. At the same time, Fu Nanhe was urging her to go, and his tone seemed a little anxious.
Ke Liman took a deep breath, suppressed the complicated emotions in her heart, and silently followed Fu Nanhe towards the car that had been waiting for a long time.
She was definitely happy to be able to return to China, but for some reason, Ke Liman's right eyelid suddenly began to twitch wildly, and the uneasiness in her heart surged like a tide, unable to be suppressed.
The car drove slowly out of the gate of the manor. Ke Liman looked through the window and took a last look at this luxurious yet dirty and filthy place.
But she suddenly felt something strange because she felt that Secretary Chen's car speed was getting faster and faster.
The car swung its tail wildly several times in a row, making her feel like vomiting.
Ke Liman looked at Fu Nanhe who was standing aside with a calm expression, as if he had no reaction at all to Secretary Chen's unusual behavior.
"Bang—boom—"
The huge explosion behind her made Ke Liman's heart beat faster and the hairs on her body stood up. She turned around almost reflexively and looked anxiously in that direction through the rear window of the car.
The originally magnificent manor villa had now become unrecognizable. The flames raged wildly in the air, engulfing the outline of the villa in a sea of fire. The air was filled with flames and debris, which seemed to spread everywhere.
At this moment, Ke Liman's heart was gripped by an unprecedented fear. Her lips trembled slightly, "It exploded?"
Fu Nanhe said nothing, but closed his eyes and rested.
Ke Liman recalled Fu Nanhe's eager urging before he left and Secretary Chen's unusually fast pace, "You know about this, right?"
Her voice began to become sharp, with a hint of questioning and anger, "But Su Gu Huai is still in there, he..."
Before she could finish her words, Fu Nanhe interrupted her, "Shut up, kid."
His voice was low and cold. "You are now my girlfriend, so don't worry about other men."
Ke Liman's fingers trembled slightly. Her brain seemed to be short-circuited by the huge explosion at that moment. Her thoughts were in a mess. "No, let me go! You go first, don't worry about me!"
She tried to open the car door in panic, but Fu Nanhe was faster than her. He suddenly slapped her on the back of the neck. Ke Liman lost consciousness instantly and fainted.
Fu Nanhe: "Women are such a hassle!"
Secretary Chen: "Mr. Fu, you can actually explain it well..."
"Drive your car!"
Secretary Chen was somewhat helpless. With Mr. Fu's personality, it would be difficult for Miss Ke to like him! Which girl doesn't like gentle people?
