Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

Chu An followed Gu Xiao’s instructions and obediently distanced himself from her. Just as he was about to say something, he caught a glimpse of Gu Xiao’s red earlobes.

A glint flashed across Chu An’s eyes when he saw her white earlobes dyed a dazzling red.

“What do you think of this distance, Xiaoxiao?”

Although Chu An deliberately distanced himself, his breath still accurately tickled Gu Xiao’s earlobe.

Gu Xiao’s earlobes, which were already red, turned even redder.

Watching this change, Chu An’s mood became even happier. Why didn’t he realize in his previous life that Xiaoxiao’s earlobes were so sensitive?

Gu Xiao avoided Chu An’s aura and glanced sideways at him, only to meet that flash of brilliance. Looking at Chu An’s eyes that looked like he wanted to swallow her whole, how could Gu Xiao not know what he was thinking?

She suppressed the throbbing in her heart and wanted to suppress the heat in her ears. Then, she looked at Chu An with a calm gaze.

“Since you’re so misbehaving, it seems like you don’t want the five kisses I owed you previously. I’ll oblige you and take back the five kisses.”

After saying this, Gu Xiao “coldly and ruthlessly” turned her head, no longer looking at Chu An’s reaction. She even shifted her position and took the initiative to distance herself from Chu An.

Chu An’s eyes widened. He didn’t expect that an impulsive action would cause him to suffer such heavy losses!

Those were Xiaoxiao’s five kisses! How could he lose them?!

Chu An didn’t want to accept this, so he hesitantly leaned towards Gu Xiao. “Xiaoxiao, I know I was wrong. Can you give me another chance? I definitely won’t do anything rash again!”

“So you also know that you’re messing around?” Gu Xiao didn’t look at Chu An and said very calmly, “You knowingly committed a crime, so your crime is even worse! I’ll deduct another kiss from you!”

“Xiaoxiao! Quick! Take back this decision!” Chu An said anxiously.

It was already very terrible for him to have five kisses taken back. How could one be deducted?

From the corner of her eye, Gu Xiao looked at Chu An, who was apologizing in a panic. The corners of her mouth curled up slightly, and a smile appeared at the corners of her eyes.

She had originally made up her mind to ignore Chu An, but when she saw how anxious he was, she couldn’t help but soften her heart toward him. However, Gu Xiao still didn’t agree to return the five kisses that she had already taken back.

Although Chu An still felt a little regretful, he didn’t dare to pester Gu Xiao anymore and obediently watched Gu Xiao study.

After Jiang He sent Ji Yao off, she returned to the Ji residence proudly. Gu Xiao’s aggrieved expression today was enough to make her happy for a long time.

She just wanted to show Gu Xiao that this was the consequence of going against her!

As long as she was protecting her, it was impossible for Gu Xiao to attack Ji Yao! Absolutely impossible!

The more Jiang He thought about it, the happier she felt. She even started humming a tune.

However, before she could be happy for long, she received another call from her assistant. “CEO Jiang, something bad has happened. Those people on the Internet are boycotting our products again. The brand that has signed a new contract is willing to pay the penalty to terminate the contract with us!”

The assistant on the other end of the phone sounded terrified. He was clearly panicking at this kind of situation.

More importantly, there was still room for negotiation last time. But this time… The assistant thought of what the brand management had said when they terminated the contract this time, and his voice trembled as he reported to Jiang He.

After hearing the assistant’s words, Jiang He suddenly sat up from the sofa.

She didn’t know if it was because she moved too quickly or because of the shock of this news, but she felt her vision turn black.

After Jiang He finally stabilized herself, she said, “W-What did you just say?”

On the other end of the phone, the assistant repeated what he had said previously in greater detail.

When Jiang He heard her assistant’s words, she could not come back to her senses for a moment. When her mind started working again, she realized that she had already ended the call with her assistant.

Recalling her assistant’s words, her body went limp and she fell onto the sofa.

After the previous incident, she had given up some benefits on her side to the brand. Coupled with Li Wen’s name, she had temporarily stabilized the company.

But now… what should she do now? What should she do about her company?
