Chapter 166: Getting used to my intimacy

"I understand." Gu Ruochu took the invitation card and glanced indifferently. She felt as if the original Gu Ruochu's secrets were slowly emerging. There was no escaping what was coming.

Since she had replaced the original owner and survived, she would have to face what was in store for her.

"Nanchen, come to the study for a moment." Mrs. Huo glanced at Huo Nanchen and gestured him to follow her. She had something to say to him.

Gu Ruochu knew it was no small matter when she saw Mrs. Huo's stern expression. Ever since her reincarnation, she had never seen Mrs. Huo so cautious.

Mrs. Huo was deliberately avoiding her.

Huo Nanchen glanced at Gu Ruochu and held her hand. He soothingly stroked her hand and smiled.

"I'll go for a while. It's already dinnertime. Have a good meal, I'll be back soon."

Gu Ruochu nodded. Actually, he did not need to tell her anything.

"Just go, there's no need..."

"I just wanted to tell you. Ruochu, can you give me a kiss?" He brushed past her and kissed her lips as if he was used to it.

Gu Ruochu felt his lips awkwardly land on her mouth.

Huo Nanchen was still acting aloof.

Could this be a legendary contrast of cuteness?

Huo Nanchen looked at her sizing him up. After a few seconds, he laughed softly. "You have to get used to it. Get used to my intimacy."

'Madam, let's fall in love.'

The thought rung out in his head but he did not say it out loud.

Gu Ruochu's emotions were conflicted. Would there really be an intimate future for the two of them?

"All right, do we have to stick together for such a short period of time?" Mrs. Huo could not help but tease. She had noticed that they had become really clingy recently.

Gu Ruochu felt very embarrassed.

She lowered her head and pushed him away from her. "Go!"

He did not move, instead, he took the opportunity to hold her hand. He put it to his lips elegantly and gently kissed her. "Thank you for your hard work last night, my lady."

Gu Ruochu's hands softened. He had reminded her of what had happened last night.

Mrs. Huo interpreted the words "hard work" differently. She immediately smiled. "Yes, Ruochu. Thank you for your hard work. Please have some more food."

Gu Ruochu was dumbfounded.

She cleared her throat and pretended not to understand. However, her ears were burning.

Gu Ruochu was almost done with her meal and Huo Nanchen and his mother were yet to leave the study room. After some time, Nanny Zhang told her not to wait any longer.

Gu Ruochu did not have any objections. She knew they must have had something important to discuss, so she finished her meal and went upstairs. She took an afternoon nap but was woken up by a call from Rong Xiao.

"Bai Qi, where are you?"

"At home. What's the matter?"

"Nothing much, I just wanted to ask you out. It's been a long time since you've hung out with us." Rong Xiao's background was a little noisy. He was probably at a karaoke bar.

Since she had nothing much to do, Gu Ruochu asked for the address. She went to the garage and drove off in one of the cars.

When she arrived at the bar, Gu Ruochu realized that Rong Xiao had company. It was Chu Xinlan. They sat in a private room where a few people were still dancing around.

Rong Xiao raised his head and saw Gu Ruochu posing at the door. He smiled cheekily and said, "Oh my, so it's our great beauty, Gu Ruochu. Come in quickly, your beauty has blinded my titanium dog eyes."

A Labrador retriever dog that was laying on the ground wagged its tail. Its two furry claws were folded together, and its head rested on top of them, swaying back and forth.
