  He scrolled up and saw a list of messages from Li Xiaofeng.

  What was her answer?!

  He accidentally touched the dialog box and an unsent message popped up.

  “Hug…”


  Gu Jinglian was so angry that he tightened his grip on the phone. With a loud “crack”, lines appeared on the screen, making it look like a snowflake! The phone screen had been crushed by the huge force of his grip.

  The sudden movement startled Chu He. She opened her eyes and felt a dark shadow over her. She blinked and slowly gained some focus, and saw Gu Jinglian’s tall figure towering menacingly over her.

  He was like a god, blocking all the sunlight streaming in from the window.

  “…”


  She sat up on the sofa, still half-asleep, and stared at him blankly.

  “What are you…”


  Before she could finish speaking, she saw him holding her phone tightly in his hand. Chu He was about to reach out to retrieve her phone from him when Gu Jinglian threw it at her.

  “Gu Jinglian, you…”


  “Explain.” Gu Jinglian was a man of few words, but his face was ashen. His dark expression was like storm clouds pressing down.

  “…”


  Chu He lowered her head and looked at her phone screen. Her eyes twitched violently!

  Why was the screen cracked!?

  Her cell phone!

  As she touched her phone screen, it lit up. After she had fallen asleep last night, Li Xiaofeng had sent her many messages, but she did not have the chance to read them. She didn’t even have time to send out the rejection she had typed out yesterday.

  “Hug…”


  Before she could finish her sentence, she had fallen asleep. Hence, Gu Jinglian saw the word “hug” and found it especially offensive. Chu He finally understood why he was standing in front of her so early in the morning like a Buddha statue, demanding for an explanation. Was he asking for an explanation of the word “hug”?!

  She was about to explain this to him, when she thought,?

  “What’s there to explain?” In other words, she was trying to put the idea across that he had seen what she meant and that was it. She felt it was fine not having to explain anything. It was alright to maintain silence on the matter.

  Her words undoubtedly added fuel to the fire.

  Hearing this, Gu Jinglian’s face darkened. After a moment of silence, he suddenly said, “Very well.”


  With that, he turned around and left.

  Chu He muttered, “Ridiculous.” Seeing that it was still early, she decided to go back to sleep. No sooner than she had closed her eyes she heard noises coming from downstairs.

  There was the sound of a vase being smashed.

  A cabinet falling to the ground.

  A chair being kicked…


  All sorts of ear-piercing noises, as well as the terrified screams of the servants, converged into a terrifying symphony.

  Chu He was instantly enraged. She shuffled out of the door in her slippers and saw Butler Fu walking towards the stairs with a terrified expression.

  As she and Butler Fu was about to arrive at the ground floor, they saw that in that short time, the ground floor had been transformed into a rubble of mess.

  Butler Fu exclaimed, “Ahhhhh! It’s our Qing Dynasty enamel passed down by our ancestors!”


  Chu He was so taken aback that she fell silent.

  Butler Fu ran downstairs in a panic and picked up the antique enamel that had been mercilessly thrown to the ground by a certain Demon King. Fortunately, there was an expensive carpet on the floor and it had saved the piece from breaking. Tears of relief and gratitude flowed down his face. “It’s good that it’s not broken…”


  Chu He was flabbergasted……
