Chapter 256: Chapter 256: Is the Person You Have a Crush on ?
Zhong Xiao Yi looked into the eyes of Gu Hanchen in front of her and said, “Yeah, my judgnt is really bad. I fully know he’s arrogant, has a foul temper, loves to curse, acts without considering the consequences, is not at all steady, but I just love him, I just like him, ever since I was sixteen!”
Gu Hanchen scoffed, reached out, and tapped Zhong Xiao Yi on the head forcefully: “Your judgnt was that bad when you were sixteen? Knowing all his flaws, how could you still fall for him? Did he save your life or sothing?”
Zhong Xiao Yi looked at Gu Hanchen in front of her and said, “Mr. Gu, I have to leave now. I’ve changed the timing of my flight, I…”
Gu Hanchen, observing Zhong Xiao Yi’s evasive gaze, reached out and grasped her chin, “You can leave, but let’s settle the accounts of these past years first.”
“Huh?” Zhong Xiao Yi looked at Gu Hanchen, not understanding.
Gu Hanchen said, “You’ve lived in my house since you were little, eating my food, using my things. The expenses of all the famous teachers my mom hired to teach you piano, dance, painting – didn’t it add up to several million if not ten million? And the tutoring fees I charged you, it’s ti to settle that too.
Based on my rate from seven years ago, you should at least pay ten thousand an hour for the tutoring. Give or take, during your junior and senior years in high school, it must have added up to at least four hundred hours, right? That’s four million…”
“How can you calculate it like that?” Zhong Xiao Yi’s eyes widened in disbelief, “Back then, you never ntioned charging money for the tutoring, and ten thousand an hour, how is that different from robbery?”
Gu Hanchen said, “Do you want to show you my inco from seven years ago? Ten thousand an hour was a bargain for you. You ate my food, wore what we gave, lived in my house, and now that you’ve grown up and beco tough, not even telling us about falling for so punk without a hint, then pay back the money you owe to my family.”
Zhong Xiao Yi: “I don’t like any punk.”
Gu Hanchen said, “Didn’t you say he was arrogant, bad-tempered, careless, and doesn’t think about the consequences? If that’s not a punk, what is? Pay up!”
Zhong Xiao Yi said in a soft voice, “I have no money, and you can’t calculate the debt I owe you like this…”
“If you don’t have money, then stay and work at Mi Chen. Once you can pay back all the money my family has spent on you over the years, then you can go and find your punk.”
Zhong Xiao Yi looked into Gu Hanchen’s eyes in front of her and said, “Mr. Gu, stop bullying . Even if you take this to court, the judge won’t rule that I owe you this money.”
Gu Hanchen said, “I don’t care, you have to pay back the money.”
Zhong Xiao Yi: “…”
Zhong Xiao Yi said, “Mr. Gu, stop joking around. I’m going to miss the flight.”
Gu Hanchen pointed to his own cheek and said, “If you don’t pay, you have the choice to kiss instead, choose one, and I will let you leave.”
Gu Hanchen was certain that Zhong Xiao Yi would never kiss him.
Zhong Xiao Yi looked at Gu Hanchen, stood on her tiptoes, and kissed the corner of Gu Hanchen’s lips.
Gu Hanchen opened his eyes wide in disbelief; the feeling on his lips was so real. Although it wasn’t his first kiss, the pounding in his heart felt even more thrilling than his first.
Zhong Xiao Yi stopped with just a kiss, then opened the door and fled in a panic.
Inside the elevator, Zhong Xiao Yi looked at her own flushed face reflected back at her, and touched the corner of her lips with the back of her hand.
Zhong Xiao Yi could feel her face was very red, extrely red.
Once Zhong Xiao Yi reached the lobby, she hurriedly chose a ride-hailing app on her phone.
The sky was still drizzling, and outside without the air conditioning of the indoors, it felt oppressively muggy and uncomfortable.
Zhong Xiao Yi’s heart raced rapidly. Only when she saw the reminder on her phone asking if she had any luggage did she realize that her suitcase was still upstairs.
Inside the room, Gu Hanchen also touched the corner of his lips, the soft and glutinous touch still lingering. He couldn’t help but chuckle to himself. What a Zhong Xiaoyi, taking advantage of him and thinking of just running away, how could it be so easy?
Gu Hanchen saw Zhong Xiaoyi’s suitcase and, without any sense of privacy, he opened it thoughtlessly.
As Gu Hanchen opened the suitcase, he saw a diary. Just as he picked it up, several photographs along with so hand-drawn illustrations fell out.
Gu Hanchen picked up a photograph and saw a younger version of himself. It was from when he graduated from high school at eighteen.
There was also a photo of him, dressed in a suit and looking confident and spirited, from when he had just been awarded Jiang City’s Outstanding Young Entrepreneur.
These photographs were ones Gu Hanchen had rarely seen before.
Gu Hanchen opened the diary, the writing inside was beautiful. Zhong Xiaoyi had learned drawing and calligraphy since she was young, and the handwriting on the first page seed to have been written many years ago.
“I’ve realized that I’ve fallen for Brother Hanchen, it must be because I’ve read too many low-tier romance novels about domineering CEOs falling in love with . I should face reality.”
“Brother Hanchen made brown sugar ginger tea today and even covered with a blanket, anyone who marries him in the future will surely be very happy…”
“A very gentle female secretary appeared by Brother Hanchen’s side, she’s also pretty, kind-hearted, and looks so beautiful when she smiles. I’ve heard she’s a student from Jiang University, so impressive.”
Pages filled with ‘Brother Hanchen,’ and at so point, he beca Mr. Gu.
“Brother Hanchen won’t let call him by that anymore, saying that he is now CEO Mi Chen, and I should call him Mr. Gu. From now on I can only call him Mr. Gu. It’s true, I’m not worthy to call him Brother Hanchen. He asked to call him Mr. Gu, did he notice my feelings? I must no longer call him Brother Hanchen.”
Gu Hanchen was casually flipping through Zhong Xiaoyi’s diary, recalling many mories.
The door was opened.
Zhong Xiaoyi said, “Mr. Gu, I have co back to change my shoes and will take my suitcase with .”
When Zhong Xiaoyi entered to take her suitcase, she saw her diary in the hands of Gu Hanchen.
Gu Hanchen had a smug smile on his face, “Zhong Xiaoyi! So the person you’ve been secretly in love with is ?”
Zhong Xiaoyi’s eyes widened as she exclaid, “Mr. Gu, how could you secretly read my diary! You’re violating my privacy!”
Gu Hanchen said, “You kissed and then just ran away, have you considered taking advantage of ?”
Gu Hanchen, limping, approached Zhong Xiaoyi and cornered her against the wall, “Why didn’t you tell your secret crush was on ?”
In a quiet voice, Zhong Xiaoyi said, “Didn’t you say it yesterday? I am just the daughter of your nanny, reality isn’t like the novels, I understand the gap between us…”
Gu Hanchen said, “What gap? You’ve grown up in my house since you were little, the life I lived as a child was the life you lived. Even considering the preference for girls over boys in my family, you’ve had it even better than !”
“You’ve had upset for so many days for nothing! You’d rather go abroad than tell that you like ?”
Zhong Xiaoyi said, “I was afraid that you would mock for overestimating myself, afraid that you would laugh at for daydreaming…”
Gu Hanchen said, “Do I seem so despicable in your eyes?”
Gu Hanchen realized sothing and his expression darkened as he said, “And what you ntioned just now, that self-important, bad-tempered, foul-mouthed, unpolished, thoughtless, and unstable person, that’s ?”
