Chapter 3: It Has to Be You

The lobby manager glanced at the distinguished man and then looked at Gu Xiaoer with sympathy, "Miss, you're on your own now."

Everyone else backed away, leaving only Han Luoli and Gu Xiaoer in the entire lobby.

Han Luoli's beautiful fingers pinched Gu Xiaoer's chin, his dark eyes intently staring at her. When her hand had touched him just now, he had felt a strange sensation, one that was both unfamiliar and fresh to him.

"I have a bad attitude?"

"You know it too!" She nodded earnestly.

"I'm not professional?"

"As long as you admit it." She couldn't be more right, it was almost like slapping her thigh in agreement.

"You want to give me a bad review?"

Gu Xiaoer stammered, backing away until she bumped into the counter, "Business or not, there should be decency, you shouldn't threaten the customers!" Her features scrunched together seriously, the little expression quite stern.

Suddenly, Han Luoli smirked playfully, his long arm propped on the counter, encircling her. He was very close; the scent of the girl laced with alcohol was quite intoxicating, and despite his usual aversion to alcohol, he found it unusually appealing.

Something was wrong!

The man's Adam's apple moved as he grasped the girl's small hand, gently kneading, warmth spreading to his palm and straight to his heart, igniting an unusual emotion that surged through his nerves!

Gu Xiaoer's mind went blank, and she was utterly stunned. Coming back to herself, she pulled her hand away, yelling as she covered her eyes, an entirely subconscious reaction.

There seemed to be a trace of amusement in the man's deep black eyes as he watched the girl's comical actions. Her pose with her hands over her eyes was so like a little otter! And yet, it was this tiny creature that had managed to stir something in his long undisturbed heart.

How interesting.

"Are you afraid of me?" He took her hands from her eyes and looked at her levelly.

"Hey!" Gu Xiaoer blushed, her stubbornness rising, "If you're going to say that, then I simply must rent you."

"Do you have anyone else to rent right now?"

"…" So the rental business was this cutthroat, blatantly stealing customers!

"Fine then, from now on you're my boyfriend!" She declared boldly, but her actions betrayed her as she timidly ducked under his arm. He was too close, making her feel oddly uncomfortable all over.

"Do you know what boyfriends are for?" His tone was teasing, something the naive girl couldn't quite grasp.

Of course, she knew!

Gu Xiaoer rolled her eyes without grace and pulled a stack of documents from her bag, tossing them at the man, "Here, take a look at the content. If you can't do it, I still have to cancel you…"

Her tone was threatening, supplemented by a defiant little expression that perfectly matched the demeanor of a client.

Rejected again?

Han Luoli's face darkened once more, but his slender fingers still unfolded the documents that had been flung at him, and he began to read.

Gu Xiaoer.

Bilver He? Hua of the Eternal. Quite a distinctive name.

22 years old, senior student of architectural design at Nanyi University, resident of Yaxi Garden…

The information was quite detailed, flipping to the next page.

"Lovey-dovey strategy plan?" he said with a voice as resonant and intoxicating as a cello, his voice lifting slightly.

Gu Xiaoer quickly stepped forward, covering Han Luoli's mouth with her hand, barely reaching with her height of one meter sixty-five.

"Keep it down! Don't you have any professional spirit?" Gu Xiaoer was almost frantic as she firmly covered Han Luoli's mouth with no intention of letting go. If this man read out the strategy plan, she might as well scrape off her face and paste it on the ground.

Yes, she was planning to rent a boyfriend to flaunt a romantic relationship and embarrass that scumbag, but that didn't mean it should be blurted out so blatantly!

At a distance of twenty centimeters, the man's handsome profile was exquisitely displayed. Gu Xiaoer watched, a bit dazed. In the past, Lu Tianze would also turn his head coolly, giving her an overpowering pat on the head that would make her happily prance around for several days.

But he had betrayed her, slept with her best friend, and even made sure she saw it.

He had betrayed her, telling her in such a cruel way, so wasn't it only right that she didn't disappoint him?
