What?
Gu Xiaoer looked at him, bewildered, savoring his words carefully, and then began to laugh while holding her stomach, "Da Luoluo, if I said that, someone would have to believe it! Maybe they'd even send me to hospital, claiming I've got delusions of grandeur! Hahaha..."
After she had her fill of laughter, nearly with an aching stomach, she quickly became serious again, "Da Luoluo, the President might arrive any moment now, you should hurry up and leave! Quick, quick, quick!"
So much trust in him, as if she would never doubt, taking today as a chance occurrence.
What was even more certain was that someone of such a high position would never cross paths with her, let alone take a fancy to her, an ordinary little commoner.
The man's thin lips were tightly drawn; he didn't speak, but his steps grew heavier and more deliberate as he walked toward the document bag thrown on the ground.
His naive girl, who wouldn't doubt him, whose thoughts couldn't take a sharp turn. The moment he opened the door and saw her today, he too was scared out of his wits, thinking his identity was about to be exposed.
Yet, she was so pure, so unconditionally trusting...
And when he heard that she had suffered so many slanders and was still carefully comforting him, he knew he couldn't hide the truth from her anymore.
To confess, no matter the consequences.
He bent down gracefully, slender fingers picking up the document bag, "You wanted the President of Shenghan's signature, didn't you?"
The girl's eyes widened.
The man opened the document bag's seal without any hesitation, precisely finding the place for the signature in the documents.
Pulling out a black pen, encrusted with tiny diamonds, from his shirt pocket, he scribbled a few strokes with flamboyant flair.
"Da Luoluo! What are you doing!"
Gu Xiaoer rushed over, snatching the document away.
Her big eyes stared at the bold and forceful handwriting on the document, feeling as if something was stirring inside her head... Stirring incessantly...
A multitude of fragmented sparks flew through her mind, numerous and chaotic, her head ached, she was confused. Her hands trembled, nearly crumpling the document into a ball.
"Xiao Er, I..."
"Click!"
His words were cut off by the sound of the door opening.
Han Luoli furrowed his brow, and with long strides he walked to the outer room, only to see Wei Feng and several Yanhuang managers standing anxiously at the door, with Wei Feng holding room keys in his hand.
"Boss, you weren't answering your phone, and there was no response when I knocked on the door; I thought something had happened!" Wei Feng's voice was urgent, never having encountered such a situation before, he had no choice but to use the room key to open the door in a hurry.
Seeing that his Boss was unharmed, he felt relieved, but immediately got anxious again, "Boss, you should get out of here quick. There's news from Nanyi School, the Madam is coming to Yanhuang to find the President! Aren't you..."
Before the words "giving yourself away" could come out, Wei Feng's eyes suddenly widened, and he stiffly turned his head, his gaze falling on Gu Xiaoer, who had walked out from the inner room.
The girl was in a dress that had some creased marks, her small face full of confusion and panic, with a pair of bare feet, unshod, curling uneasily on the marble tiles.
"Madam... ah, no! Miss Gu?!" Wei Feng was flabbergasted.
Gu Xiaoer leaned against the wall, barely supporting her body, her mind seeming to freeze, unable to think for a long time.
What was Wei Feng talking about?
What was Han Luoli saying?
Today, she had just come to deliver a document; she was looking for the President of Shenghan, right here, in this very room, at this very time!
Why, why did she see Han Luoli...
Han Luoli merely glanced at Wei Feng, his thin lips pressed together without a word, slowly walking toward the dazed girl, wanting to wrap his arms around her frail figure.
"You! Don't come any closer!"
