The pedestrian street, due to Han Luoli's presence, attracted quite a crowd. Even the waiters and store managers from the shops on both sides couldn't help but stick their heads out to watch. Starstruck, they discussed how this stunningly handsome man was so deeply in love. "Why can't this perfect man be for us..."
Gu Xiaoer looked up at him, his lips pursed, his jaw hard and angular, his profile as devastatingly handsome as ever. After finding out that Han Luoli was a fallen rich second generation, she had even wondered if he had spent all his money on plastic surgery, otherwise, why was his facial expression so stiff?
As she watched, Han Luoli also turned his head, and as she met his gaze, she saw a bloodthirsty smile suddenly lift the corners of his mouth, followed by a light and breezy remark slipping from his lips.
"Why should I change? I have all of these…" His faint voice, broadcasted through the mic and speakers, made sure everyone nearby heard him loud and clear.
For a moment, the onlookers were perhaps stunned by his words or his presence, and it took them a long while to snap out of it.
But Gu Xiaoer's reaction was quick this time, her face flushed red in an instant, and she almost spat out a mouthful of old blood.
The others might not know, but she was very clear. She had thought Han Luoli was going to say something earth-shattering, but under the scrutiny of the public eye, he really went shameless, daring to boast such a tall tale.
When had she not noticed that he was such an easy target for a lightning strike?
"Let's go, let's go, quick, let's not make a fool of ourselves here." Gu Xiaoer pulled Han Luoli, hurrying out of the encirclement, and before the host could react, she shouted, "Mosaic, don't forget the mosaic!"
If acquaintances saw this, she might as well throw away her face.
Finally back in Han Luoli's flashy car, Gu Xiaoer buckled her seatbelt while pouting, "Just for the sake of face, you really can bluff, why say such nonsense?"
Bluff?
Everything was true; did Han Luoli need to bluff?
Ah, this goofball...
"Oh? I remember someone seemed to want to sell me off?" The man looked ahead, his calm voice drifting over, carrying a hint of grievance.
Such a petty guy.
Gu Xiaoer immediately laughed ingratiatingly, "That was part of a plan."
Han Luoli turned his head, could a confused bug think so much?
She quickly started counting on her fingers, "Look, with a billion, I could buy back your freedom, pay off all your old, rotten debts, so you wouldn't have to sell your body to make a living. Then, I'll take the remaining money to find you, and we can live a comfortable life together."
"What about the buyer? They spent a billion!"
"Oh right, I forgot about the buyer..." She scratched her head in distress, "But no worries, rich people don't necessarily have true feelings. Maybe they'll just play with you and then drop you. Once you get dumped, you can come back to me, haha…"
Get dumped... Apart from Gu Xiaoer, who had the guts and the ability to dump him?
She kept analyzing with conviction, completely oblivious to the fact that the rich person she spoke of included the very man sitting beside her.
"Mischevious!" Han Luoli quietly sighed. There were many things he hadn't told her, so he couldn't blame her for her wild ideas. Such a genuine and silly girl, why argue with her?
Han Luoli drove steadily, and Gu Xiaoer snuggled into a comfortable position and fell asleep. In her dreams, she must be eating something delicious, smacking her lips, while droplets of saliva fell on the Italian handmade luxury car seat cushion, until a string of ringing from her phone woke her up.
"Lele... What's the matter? I was dreaming of eating pig's trotters..." she whined faintly.
"..." The other side paused for a second, then shouted, "Hurry to the city center, Wanlon Square, it's urgent!"
