"I want to take a shower, you should go out first." Gu Ruochu felt that the atmosphere was a little too ambiguous, especially with the two of them in the bathroom.
Huo Nanchen did not speak, he showed no emotion on his face.
Even though Gu Ruochu was tall, when she stood next to Huo Nanchen, she looked a little petite. He hugged her from behind and Gu Ruochu's entire back was pressed against his firm chest.
"Gu Ruochu, you're not my type." For some reason, the words had escaped from his mouth.
Gu Ruochu's heart had been beating wildly at first, but when she heard his words, her initially budding heart began to cool down.
She discerned that Huo Nanchen was again warning her not to get too fixated on him. Even though he had defended her many times, it was all for the sake of marriage.
Maybe Huo Nanchen liked a gentle and amiable type of lady. If Gu Yanwei had not been so pretentious, he would have moved on from Gu Ruochu long ago.
Gu Ruochu looked at his face in the mirror and a half-genuine smile appeared on her lips.
"I understand. Can Master Huo leave now?"
Gu Ruochu had one unique trait. She would never show her emotions on her face. She would never reveal her weaknesses to her enemies. Gu Ruochu wouldn't let them use her weaknesses to humiliate her.
However, Huo Nanchen noticed that there was something wrong with her tone. A dangerous look flashed in his eyes.
"What's wrong? Why are you lowering your head and not looking at me?"
Why did her emotions change so much?
"It's nothing. Get out now."
Gu Ruochu turned around and used her brute force to push him away. However, he stood there and did not move.
"What? Are you still nostalgic about the kiss? I've given out such kisses a hundred or a thousand times in the past. Master Huo, don't think too highly of yourself."
Huo Nanchen looked at her and his eyes suddenly filled with malice.
"You've kissed other people before?"
"I know, right? I've kissed more men than I can count on one finger." Gu Ruochu noticed that he was not leaving, so she turned around and walked into the other bathroom in the room. Huo Nanchen's breath was cold as he stood still and let out a cold laugh.
Gu Ruochu took more than half an hour to before she finally left the shower. When she came out, she saw something that looked like a gift box placed on the counter.
"What's this?"
"Open it and see for yourself."
Gu Ruochu was not sure what he meant. She opened the gift box and saw a beautiful gown inside.
It was a flamboyant red-colored dress. Unless one had some charisma, a fair complexion, and long legs, this gown would only look tacky on them.
"Is the Huo family having another party?"
"No. Tomorrow the Chen family is throwing a party." Huo Nanchen raised his eyes and glanced at her. "It will be quite a big event. However, you just have to stand by my side obediently."
'A big event?'
In the past, Gu Ruochu had been the joke of the upper-class society. In addition, she was as timid as a mouse and deliberately avoided her husband. That was the reason why Huo Nanchen had never brought her out in public.
She knew that many people would mock her behind her back, especially those who had interacted with Gu Ruochu in the past.
She wondered what kind of expression those people would have on their faces when they saw Gu Ruochu at the party. Thinking about it made her feel look forward to attending the event.
Gu Ruochu shook the gown open. The design was slant-shouldered, and the folds of the clouds around her waist gradually widened the hem of the gown. The diamonds were like tiny pieces of starlight embellishing it.
It was very beautiful.
Huo Nanchen had specially tailored this for her. He wanted to see how she would look in the gown. Huo Nanchen's gaze deepened as he watched her admire the dress.
