章 40: Chapter 40 cooperation

作者: Gu Rong Rong 機械翻訳

This kind of tattered cloth is only for appreciation and has no warmth at all. If she were to really wear it, she would not know how to face Huo Nanchen. Gu ruochu quickly changed into her pajamas as she pushed open the bathroom door and quickly moved towards the wardrobe.

She did not notice the man who was leaning against the headboard of the large european-style soft bed and reading a magazine. When he heard the sound of the bathroom door opening, he subconsciously raised his head.

Gu Ruochu had just touched the wardrobe door when she felt a strong gaze that could not be ignored. It landed on her body.

She suddenly had an ominous feeling and turned around to meet a certain someone's gaze. Huo Nanchen was still leaning against the door with a noble and cold expression, but his gaze was very subtle.

At that moment, their eyes met.

Gu Ruochu,"..."

She did not know what to make of her expression and the two stared at each other for a few seconds.

He looked at her. His eyes, which had been UNMOVING for ten thousand years, were like the stars that had suddenly twinkled under the dark night sky. Then, they turned into a deep, UNMOVING pool.

It was as if there was a thick layer of fog in the depths of his eyes. His deep, Mesmerizing eyes stared fixedly at her and did not avoid looking at the person in front of him.

The air conditioner was clearly turned on quite high, so why did she still feel so stifled and depressed.

"When did you come in? " Gu Ruochu asked in order to break the awkward atmosphere. No matter how calm a person was, he could not remain calm at this moment!

Huo Nanchen, don't tell me that you think that I'm trying to seduce him on purpose?

"You didn't hear me when you just came in. What are these pieces of rags? "

He continued to stare at her and his ears turned inexplicably red. However, he would not be able to tell if he did not look carefully.

Gu Ruochu,"..."

There was not a single piece of ordinary pajamas in her wardrobe. All of them were of this style!

Gu Ruochu's face was stiff as she scanned the room. She then reached out and pulled on an ordinary dress. In the next second, a tall figure leaned over from behind. His fair and slender hand reached out and closed the wardrobe behind Gu Ruochu.

His hand reached out from behind and in an instant, he looked like he was hugging her from behind. "..."

With this movement, it was inevitable that their bodies would come into contact. Gu Ruochu's entire body stiffened. She wondered if this fellow was taking advantage of her!

Gu Ruochu remembered that he had said that he would never fall in love with her. It was better not to explain anything. Sometimes, explaining was just a cover-up. There was no need to cause any misunderstandings.

She ignored Huo Nanchen's reaction and walked towards the computer. She had always wanted to sign an agreement with Huo Nanchen so that her future path would be smoother, such as in the entertainment industry.

Huo Nanchen's gaze calmly fell on her departing figure. An indescribable feeling suddenly rose in his heart.

The room was silent. Less than half an hour later, Huo Nanchen was presented with a document. On the cover page, there were two large words: Marriage Agreement.

"What is this?"

His sharp gaze fell upon her face once again.

"Huo Nanchen, I know that you did not intend to marry me. I don't enjoy pestering. I won't interfere in any of your matters. Similarly, you cannot interfere with my matters. I hope that we can work together happily."

She knew that if she were to voluntarily withdraw from this union, it would be in exchange for him allowing her to enter the entertainment industry.

"It's very fair, isn't it?"

Gu Ruochu handed him the document. On one clause, there was some information about what would happen in case of a divorce.

Huo Nanchen had never thought she would take the initiative and ask for her freedom in a marriage that he had single-handedly led.

'Marriage agreement?

'Does she really want to leave me so eagerly?'

He carefully read the contents of the document and suddenly raised his head. "You want to enter the entertainment industry? Why do you want to enter the entertainment industry?"

"No reason. The entertainment industry is not just about fame and fortune. There are other things that I want." Gu Ruochu was already sitting leisurely on the small sofa. Her slender legs were curled up in a carefree and unrestrained manner.

It was clearly a vulgar action, but there was only elegance and unruliness in her body. She had a contradictory sense of beauty.

"Is that the only reason you want to sign such a lousy agreement with me?" A cold light appeared in Huo Nanchen's exquisite eyes. "You can do whatever you want. There's no need for you to sign such an agreement with me."

Huo Nanchen quickly tore the agreement in his hand into pieces. Fragments flew down from his powerful fingertips, but his expression remained indifferent.

Gu Ruochu paused and narrowed her eyes on him.

Did it mean that even if she did not grant him his freedom, he would not interfere with her entry into the entertainment industry?

She frowned. He acted indifferent, but she knew that he could tear her apart at the slightest disagreement. He did not know that she had been preparing to return to the entertainment industry for a long time.

"In that case, let's work together happily."

After settling the matter, Gu Ruochu climbed onto the big bed with a clear conscience. Just as she was about to lie down, a magazine suddenly flew towards her.

"What is it?"

Huo Nanchen had already climbed onto the bed. His slender fingers tapped on the cover of the magazine and he said calmly, "Read a paragraph from the magazine for me."

Gu Ruochu felt a little baffled. Couldn't he read it himself? Why did she have to read it out loud?

"Huo, I want to go to bed."

"Read this paragraph." His eyes were as deep as the sea and the corners of his eyes were drawn. He raised his eyes and glanced at her. "I've agreed to let you do what you want. Can't you even fulfill this small request?"

"Just read it then. Why are you so long-winded and reasonable?"

Huo Nanchen's face darkened again. "You think I'm long-winded?"

Gu Ruochu took the magazine. It was a world-famous economic magazine with a series of boring numbers on it. Wasn't Huo Nanchen afraid that he would not fall asleep if he heard this?

Huo Nanchen felt his tensed nerves subconsciously relax when he heard her gentle voice. He rubbed his temples and closed his eyes.

She really was his best medicine...

His heart was at peace as he listened to her voice.

Gu Ruochu saw an exquisite side to his face. It differed completely from the devil's face she had seen during the day. He was much calmer now.

Gu Ruochu stopped reading her magazine and turned off the bedside lamp.
