Chapter 10 - Just Eat

"Are you Miss Gu? The steak is just right. This way, please."

Gu Tiantian: ...

She realized she couldn't escape having this meal today.

The only consolation was... fortunately, it was not yet seven o'clock.

Even if she had to eat, if she did it as fast as possible, it shouldn't take past seven-thirty.

Or, perhaps even faster.

Seeing Gu Tiantian follow along, the pretty woman smiled again, watching her go.

Finishing the steak at the speed of light, and even burning her mouth from the hurry, Gu Tiantian was both annoyed and frustrated.

Mrs. Chen smiled while watching her, still with a gentle expression.

As she watched her, she asked kindly.

"Miss Gu, would you like another serving?"

Just as Mrs. Chen asked, Gu Tiantian let out a burp.

Mrs. Chen couldn't help but laugh.

Gu Tiantian laughed too, but awkwardly.

She grabbed a napkin to wipe her mouth and quickly stood up.

"The steak was delicious, thank you."

Under Mrs. Chen's slightly surprised gaze, Gu Tiantian swiftly exited the restaurant, heading straight for the living room door.

Seeing victory in sight, Gu Tiantian's face broke into a bright smile.

Even the bitterness of being used and discarded had been pushed to the back of her mind at this moment.

Nothing was more important than leaving this place now.

To her great dismay, Gu Tiantian never expected to be met not by a wide-open door but by a thick wall of flesh.

With a "bang", the impact was so strong that Gu Tiantian stumbled backward, took a few steps back, and fell to the ground.

"In such a hurry, where are you planning to go?"

Gu Tiantian gasped for breath. Upon seeing Bai Chenyao, two words flashed through her mind.

It's over!

With her nose red and eyes moistened from the collision, Gu Tiantian was full of resentment.

But looking at the man in front of her with a cold expression and dark, brooding eyes, the curses at the tip of her tongue were swallowed back with the quickest ounce of reason.

After being scolded before, she learned to act cautiously.

Going head-to-head with this man wasn't an option; she could only go along obediently, or else she'd get herself into trouble carelessly.

"Well... haha... I just wanted to go for a walk."

"Oh, right, I just had dinner and am feeling too full, so I thought of going out for a walk."

The man squinted, examining her from head to toe with a very sharp gaze.

Then, looking down at her from above, he said with a hint of mockery.

"Are you sure you're going out dressed like that?"

Gu Tiantian was a bit embarrassed, but to get out of here immediately, she nodded quickly.

"I'm sure!"

The man's icy eyes scanned her once more, making Gu Tiantian wish she could dig out his eyes.

Damn lecher, after eating over and over, he had to visually assault her one last time before leaving!

"Li Mu, send her back!"

Gu Tiantian quickly shook her head. "No need, I can go back on my own."

The man's handsome face turned a shade darker with a hint more coldness.

His dark eyes, under the light, resembled a lone wolf in the desert plains, full of aggression.

His voice, colder than before.

"Then don't go back!"

Gu Tiantian: ...

Damn it, she'd just have to bear with it!

"Well... then I'll have to trouble Mr. Li."

After saying this, Gu Tiantian dared not linger even a second longer.

As for where Li Mu was, why should she care?

As Gu Tiantian reached the door, she saw a young man in a black suit waiting there.

Seeing her, he nodded slightly.

"Miss Gu, this way, please."

Gu Tiantian: ...
