Chapter 85: You will agree to… any of my requests?

The boss might appear cold, but he’s a good man.

But everybody seemed to be keeping a distance from him, including Butler Lin. Was it because they were all afraid of him?

Siyi seemed to always be the go-between on just about everything.

Did the boss never talk to anyone else?

But they all lived under the same roof, so why was that?

Gu Shishi looked in the direction of the study in disbelief.

Were they afraid of him, or did he keep his distance with them purposefully?

Was it because of the rumor that he’d bring about bad luck to those who were close to him?

She was almost hit by the chandelier and the way Siyi was looking at her had changed to an oddly alarmed look.

Butler Lin, who had just started smiling at her from time to time, had returned to his official distant look.

Was this because they felt that her accident was caused by Huo Sishen’s curse?

As she was spacing out while staring at the door, she suddenly noticed that the door had been opened from the inside without her noticing.

Huo Sishen leaned against the door frame. His dark eyes were so cold one couldn’t hardly tell he was still alive.

At least, she has only seen eyes like that right before her master passed away, a calmness without any vigor or hope. So silent it was like a dried-up well…

“Pack your things and move out today.”

The raspy voice resounded in the hallway.

Each of the words were sharp like knives.

Gu Shishi looked up suddenly.

“I don’t need a fiancée and you can stop acting now.”

Huo Sishen’s thin lips were pressed shut tightly.

“I’m already tired of you.”

Gu Shishi frowned.

Subconsciously, she wanted to check her remaining life balance.

“There’s $20 million in this card.”

He shoved a plain-looking black card in front of her.

“You can have this house too. We will call off the engagement. This money should be enough for you for the rest of your life.”

Huo Sishen never walked out. He was still standing inside the study.

$20 million, in addition to this mansion that has a market value of $30 million.

That was almost a total of $50 million.

Gu Shishi’s chest was pounding heavily and even her blood was racing through her veins.

However, when she looked down, she saw the whitened knuckles of Huo Sishen as he was holding onto the card.

It felt as if thunder had just struck her brain.

No, she couldn’t do that.

If she left now, the boss would definitely die in 2 years, according to the plotline.

And she… wouldn’t she also die with him.

Plus, the boss seemed to be solitary, lonely and cold.

Huo Sishen squinted, “Not enough?”

Gu Shishi bit her lips.

She shook her head.

Huo Sishen’s face darkened, and his eyes were filled with scorn.

“Okay, give me a number. Or any other request.”

Gu Shishi stared at him blankly. She looked at the face that was so masculine and handsome that she could paint him into one of her paintings… and shook her head again with great difficulty.

The boss wanted to boot her out and she had no grounds to negotiate with him.

But she couldn’t do that.

Thoughts raced through her brain.

What could she do?

How could she placate the boss?

“You will agree to…. any of my requests?”

Gu Shishi’s eyes beamed all of a sudden.

Huo Sishen’s face darkened more, and he nodded scornfully.

Gu Shishi broke out into a happy smile, “Then I wish that you would pay me the money and the house…. In installment!”

Huo Sishen’s breathing paused for a second.

But quickly, he resumed his cold and sarcastic smile.

“Fine. You go arrange that with Siyi.”

He suddenly turned around and was about to close the door behind him and block the rest of the world out.

But, that was when he heard Gu Shishi’s delicate voice from behind him.

“Umm, installment means the next 60… no, 70 years, 365 days a year, I’d like to receive a red packet and gifts from you…”

Huo Sishen almost stumbled.

The crisp voice behind him was already sounding like a noise made by a mosquito.
