"How dare I reprimand you, Fourth Master?"
Eleven said this, not noticing any difference in Gu Lianchengâs expression.
Su Bai mentioned that he saw Gu Tianyu at the press conference, his expression looking like he was extremely upset. Su Bai was laughing as he explained this, mocking Tianyu for his failed surprise attack.
And Eleven knew, the reason for his failure was because he always believed they hadnât divorced yet. Just thinking about how she played a part in this matter made her feel...
Would Gu Tianyu eventually blame her for this?
This Gu family...
Itâs hard to say.
Feeling upset and perplexed, she didnât want to overthink, so she casually turned on the TV. Surprisingly, the news was about financial matters, discussing todayâs stock market opening. The first thing they reported on was, undoubtedly, Liancheng Group.
Eleven didnât understand some of the professional terms, but when she looked at Gu Lianchengâs expression, it didnât seem too awful, so it should be...
This matter should be over, right?
She figured that since Su Bai hadnât called to say that the board of directors was looking for Gu Liancheng, things should be okay.
Otherwise, if anything went wrong, the directors on the board would be the first ones to panic, afraid it would affect the benefits theyâre about to receive.
"Why did you suddenly think to post that kind of message on social media yesterday?"
"As long as I post it, youâll jump out of the infidelity scandal. Isnât that obvious? Moreover, itâs true. Nothing was wrong with my post. More importantly, I think..." Eleven chuckled, "Didnât I owe you a favor? Consider it repaid this time?"
"Heh! As expected, itâs a weasel paying a New Yearâs visit to a chicken, nothing good will come out it!" Gu Liancheng scoffed at her, disdainfully said, "Even if youâve repaid me... doesnât that still leave me the favor of saving your life from last night?"
Eleven couldnât make a fuss, she just smiled: "Fine, Iâll repay you gradually."
She felt helpless inside.
Really, she just repaid one favor and now she owes another. The only difference from loan sharks is that the interest doesnât roll that terrifyingly high.
"Or... like he said, if you sleep with me for a night, consider the debt repaid."
"..."
They are indeed brothers!
However, she wonât take Gu Lianchengâs words to heart, unlike Gu Tianyuâs.
"Look at you, what does that expression of not taking my words to heart mean?"
"Oh dear, Fourth Master, youâve figured me out!" Eleven laughed, "Even though it sounds like... a joke, but I think..."
Seeing her smirk, Gu Liancheng unabashedly continued: "I genuinely want to sleep with you. It depends... whether youâll let me."
"Thatâs it!" Eleven slapped the bed, laughed, and firmly rejected, "Nope."
Gu Liancheng wasnât angry. His hand, slowly raised, trembled a few times either from weakness or for fun. Eleven casually grabbed his hand and flippantly said, "Itâs all a certain someoneâs fault for spoiling me. You never scolded me, didnât give me any attitude, naturally I became willful."
You reap what you sow, no matter how bitter the fruit, you must swallow it.
Gu Liancheng gave in, shaking his head, resigned.
Indeed, he was the one who spoiled her. Even though she wasnât really reckless, but in front of him, there was nothing she feared. Knowing he wonât hurt her, she dared to reject him.
"Ah," Gu Liancheng sighed in a slightly melancholic tone, "Times have changed..."
