Gu Xiaoer gently pushed him away, a mix of self-mockery and mockery of him evident in the forced smile on her bright, pretty face.
"Are you the fool or am I the fool? Why deceive me? Do you know what being husband and wife means, the responsibilities of marriage and having children? A male escort wanting to turn over a new leaf... then give me a reason to believe you!"
"Male escort, always the male escort! Does it ever end!" His face also looked unpleasant, and his tone was not very good either. Upon seeing the girl's big eyes misting over, he quickly lowered his head, apologizing profusely.
"Xiao Er, I'm sorry... There are some things I think I should tell you."
Han Luoli stood eye level with Gu Xiaoer, who was sitting down, and the two of them silently gazed at each other as if trying to see something in the other's eyes.
Perhaps because the man's eyes were too earnest and sincere, Gu Xiaoer was the first to divert her gaze, turning her head, her anger dissipated by half. She quietly blamed herself, wondering if she was expecting too much, and she had driven him to lose control too.
But she didn't know what had gotten into her, uncontrollably showing her moodiness, feelings she had never experienced before.
Confusion, hesitation, entanglement, fear of gain and loss...
Taking a deep breath, she calmly spoke up, "Go ahead, I'm listening."
She must strive to be a rational new century woman, she thought, as crying and making a fuss shouting "I don't want to listen" would just show how tasteless she was.
Han Luoli's thin lips pressed a gentle kiss on her forehead, "Xiao Er, I'm not a male escort, I never was."
"...I know, you're a rental boyfriend..."
"..." The man took a deep breath, reminding himself to stay calm, this little one was too capable, she could easily drive him mad.
"I mean, none of it! Male escort, rental boyfriend, top host, none of it! Haven't you ever thought your man could actually be quite incredible?"
Seeming thoughtful, she nodded, "You are quite incredible, it's just you strayed onto the wrong path. Pitiful and lamentable!"
"You little brat, can't you speak properly!" He frowned, clearly frustrated.
Before he could finish his words, Sister Sun's knocking sounded from outside the door.
"Sir, there's a call from the old house."
"Tell them I'm not here," Han Luoli's voice dropped, as calm as it was displeased, but his presence exuded a chilly aura.
"I did, but the old master said..." Sister Sun's voice faltered too.
Han Luoli narrowed his eyes, guessing what Sister Sun left unsaid. He pecked the girl's lush lips, "Be good and go take a shower. I'll take a call."
"Okay..." Feeling the change in his aura, she obediently nodded her head.
Watching his departing figure, she suddenly felt an increase in desolation. Was he facing a problem, encountering a difficulty? She really wanted to do something for him, but the more she thought about it, the less she felt she could actually contribute.
She walked through the spacious room in search of the bathroom, but she stumbled upon a new world in the bedroom.
The bedroom's partition opened to a very large walk-in closet, lavish in decoration and dreamy colors, the stuff of every girl's dreams.
"Isn't this Da Luoluo's room?"
Curious, she wondered how such a room was filled with girls' clothes. She moved a few steps further inside and found an area set aside for men's clothing. Blacks, whites, grays, all arranged neatly.
Her fingers traced the clothes as she walked, curiosity driving her to focus on the section of the walk-in dedicated to women's wear.
She gently pulled out an "S" size dress that was her style.
More pieces came out, and all of them were "S" size.
Her eyes suddenly fell on the dress she was wearing, and a daring thought emerged in her mind, a thought so thrilling and overwhelming that she could hardly dare to imagine.
"Were these... all prepared for me..."
Uncertain, she dared not confirm it.
Lost in thought, she then heard the steady footsteps entering the room, and before she knew it, she was enveloped in a broad, secure embrace.
"Baby, do you like them?" He nestles his chin in her neck, "Stay here, live with me."
