Chapter 54: A reminder

Huo Nachen's face was dark and gloomy. His white shirt was slightly pulled open, revealing his exquisite collarbone.

He was not anxious as he approached her steadily.

When he thought about how the man seated next to Gu Ruochu in the picture had intimately whispered into her ear, he felt a strange emotion that was hard to control.

Gu Ruochu sat next to the office desk. When she sensed the dangerous aura emanating from his body, she was alarmed. Her legs, which had been crossed, subconsciously lowered.

"Thank you for today's incident."

Her status in the Huo family was low, and she had now offended countless people around her. She was lucky that Huo Nanchen had no feelings for Gu Yanwei. Otherwise, she would feel even more depressed.

"How will you thank me?"

Huo Nanchen seemed to have gone all out as he asked with interest. He approached her and bent over slightly. His left hand rested on the back of her chair. It was as if he had trapped her in his embrace.

Gu Ruochu's body stiffened, but she did not move.

What did he have in mind?

Huo Nanchen sensed her stiffness and looked at her meaningfully. The smile at the corner of his lips was faintly discernible. Through the light, one could see his dark eyes which glowed in the light.

Huo Nanchen was too close to her. The scent of his hormones instantly filled the air. It was strong and also had a faintly discernible, refreshing fragrance.

Gu Ruochu raised her head and accidentally kissed the corner of his lips.

It was Huo Nanchen's turn to be stiff.

The night wind blew away a few strands of his hair. He stepped back and suddenly kissed her deeply. He reached out and held the back of her head. His strength was so great that she could not break free.

Gu Ruochu was completely stunned. She did not expect him to kiss her. His lips carried a thin, cold and slightly bitter taste, but there was a mesmerizing manly aura about them.

She raised her hand and waved it towards his face. It was a completely subconscious action.

He reached out and grabbed her hand, but his palm moved away from her lips.

"Huo Nanchen!"

It was Gu Ruochu's turn to be enraged. She raised her eyebrows and looked at him coldly. Her eyes were lively and bright, filled with an indescribable beauty.

It was as if he had been bewitched. In a trance, he wanted to get close to her again. He wanted to make sweet love to her. When he had felt her tongue, he had actually become a little dizzy.

A kiss from her had such a big impact on him.

"Huo Nanchen, don't forget what you said."

'I'll never fall in love with you.'

The words rang clearly in his mind. Huo Nanchen furrowed his brows and his expression returned to its normal state. However, his heart was suddenly conflicted.

"You remember very well what I said."

"I don't dare to forget it."

Gu Ruochu did not know if she was reminding him or herself. When it came to love, once you fell into a trap, you could never recover.

If she didn't love, she could never be hurt. She would never forget how her mother and Bai Mo had loved each other so bitterly, painfully, and emotionally in her previous life.

A faint sense of sadness crept into Gu Ruochu's heart.

"..."

After what had happened the previous night, Gu Ruochu felt awkward when she faced Huo Nanchen the following day. Huo Nanchen seemed to have completely forgotten their romantic moment. His attitude towards her was the same as before. However, he had a deeper and more profound look in his eyes.

Gu Ruochu successfully acquired the piece of land in the north of the city. Her new company still had a lot to accomplish. Her next step would be to re-enter the entertainment industry. She needed to make official preparations.

The new company's name was Huang Tu. She would be the first artist to sign a contract with the company.
