Chapter 880: Chapter 883: Deciding to Close the Net
At this mont, Xia Liu had an indescribable charm about him.
Which made Guo Man unintentionally focus all her attention on him.
He could chat and laugh with the richest man in the world, while also being good brothers with Fengzi, Zhao Qian, and others living at the bottom.
Guo Man felt a sense of confusion.
Which one was the real Xia Liu?
Or was it all just an act?
His love for children and eagerness to help others were things she had seen with her own eyes.
There was no doubt about it; perhaps his calmness was ant to hide a hint of sadness in his heart.
“President Guo, we’re ho, President Guo…” Opening the car door, Xia Liu noticed Guo Man seed lost in thought, so he called out to her a few tis.
“Ah! We’re ho?” Guo Man obviously hadn’t co back to her senses yet. When she saw Aunt Yang waiting at the door, she realized how embarrassed she felt.
“We’re ho. You should rest early. I have sothing to do, so I’ll head to my room.” Guo Man’s heart was pounding like a nervous deer, unable to calm down.
The anxiety from running added a touch of redness to her cheeks.
Back in his room, Xia Liu slowly pulled out a pack of cigarettes and lit one, inhaling greedily.
At this mont, in his Divine Sense, a graceful figure was pacing back and forth in the room.
She had her hands crossed behind her back, her face flushed with shyness.
Even without the Mind Reading Technique, judging by Guo Man’s current behavior, perhaps he had already moved into her heart.
This was sothing Xia Liu both wanted and didn’t want.
The purpose of getting close to Guo Man was to gain her trust, wasn’t it?
Now that his goal was achieved, and enormously successfully at that.
If he wished, he could soon draw in the net.
But should he take the initiative or tacitly allow it, once his identity was exposed, Guo Man would inevitably collapse.
Xia Liu didn’t want to see her like that.
He was conflicted.
He didn’t expect to find himself caught in such tumultuous emotions.
It was as if his heart had stopped for a second, as if he had lost sothing important.
It wasn’t until 10 PM that Guo Man quietly ca downstairs.
She kept observing from the stairs.
It was as if she were a child who had done sothing wrong.
Afraid that after eting her parents, she would be scolded.
Xia Liu was always cultivating in his room.
When he opened his eyes, there was a hint of helplessness in his expression.
Perhaps he couldn’t avoid this ga.
Guo Man tiptoed to the kitchen, carefully opened the fridge, wanting to cook sothing.
Suddenly, she felt a pair of eyes watching her and quickly turned around.
“Ah!”
The mont she saw it, Guo Man scread, “Why aren’t you asleep yet?”
The person standing at the kitchen door, who else could it be but Xia Liu?
She saw Guo Man clenching her clothes with her jade hands, looking a bit at a loss.
“I just ca back in from the wind outside and thought there was a rat in the kitchen. Didn’t I scare you?”
Xia Liu said with a cheerful smile.
“You nearly scared
to death.”
Guo Man was furious that he dared to call her a rat.
“My bad. President Guo, please wait outside. I’ll make you so dinner.”
“Sure! If it’s not tasty, I’ll have to see if I should dock your pay a little.”
Guo Man hadn’t heard that Xia Liu could cook, guessing he might be at her level at best.
“Haha, that’s an option.”
…
Sitting by the dining table outside, Guo Man propped her chin up, her eyes lingering on Xia Liu.
His movents were so adept. So, n cooking could be handso too.
Xia Liu’s Divine Sense was always enveloping the villa.
Guo Man’s peeking, he saw it all.
Before coming downstairs, he made a decision.
Given that things have already co to this point.
Continuing to develop it further will eventually lead to the sa outco.
The ending was already destined, so why waste more ti?
The sooner the net was drawn, the sooner he could know the answer and return.
Guo Man would definitely be hurt; it’s only a matter of ti.
Xia Liu had already thought of how to make ands.
When the ti cos, he’ll see what she decides to do. If she wants to stab, he’ll stand still for her to stab.
If it’s material compensation, that’s much simpler.
That will depend on the situation.
Once you draw the bow, there’s no turning back. Once done, go all out till the end!
Not long after, Xia Liu ca out with a tray.
On top of it, two vegetable dishes and one at, along with a bowl of fragrant rice.
The mont Xia Liu walked out of the kitchen, Guo Man slled the aroma.
She was amazed.
Without a doubt, she had underestimated Xia Liu and overestimated herself.
This kind of aroma was not sothing she could create.
“Co, President Guo, let’s see if I get a pay cut or a pay raise for this al.”
Guo Man said nothing, picked up her chopsticks, and slowly chewed under Xia Liu’s gaze.
“This is so delicious!”
After swallowing the food, Guo Man had an indescribable feeling in her mind.
It was as if she wasn’t eating food, but a mint leaf that could clear the mind.
Even her vision beca much clearer.
Guo Man didn’t know that Xia Liu had added Spiritual Energy when cooking this al.
To ordinary people, it was an otherworldly supplent.
Less than ten people could enjoy such food.
Most of them were girls who had eaten it before, but later on, Xia Liu didn’t have much ti at ho, so there weren’t opportunities to cook.
Also, the girls were cultivators; they didn’t feel much anymore.
The sensation wasn’t nearly as profound as what an ordinary person like Guo Man experienced.
“As long as President Guo likes it, it’s been a long ti since I’ve cooked.”
Xia Liu smiled joyfully, but with a hint of sadness.
Just like when he ca here, after his wife and children left, he changed.
“If I could eat your cooking every day, I’d be so happy.”
Guo Man put down her chopsticks, her eyes filled with vital energy as she gazed at Xia Liu.
“Depends on the person. If President Guo likes it, I can cook for you every day.”
“Let’s forget about that. I have no right to ask you to cook every day unless you were my husband.”
As they talked more deeply, Guo Man beca bolder.
She even dared to ntion the word ‘husband’.
“Er…er…”
Xia Liu gave a wry smile, this girl dared to say such things, testing him?
“No problem at all. Just call
if you want to eat, and I’ll make it for you.”
Xia Liu replied with a serene smile.
“Giggle, I was just joking. How could I inconvenience you? You’ve helped
so much, it should really be
thanking you.”
“Each thing is separate, especially since I didn’t know Xiao Bai was so impressive.”
“You’re truly blessed to casually befriend the world’s richest man.”
Guo Man was genuinely envious, but Xia Liu also had his monts of sorrow, with his wife and child…
“It’s true, for instance, I also t the most beautiful girl in all of Harbor City and was fortunate enough to beco her personal bodyguard.”
…
Xia Liu’s words left Guo Man speechless.
Since when did this guy beco so eloquent?
Could this have been his nature all along?
And after his family incident, his personality changed.
Lante’s appearance allowed him to open up, making new friends, gradually freeing him from his pain?
