Chapter 7 - Familiar Stranger (2/2)

For a moment, the intensity of the gaze made her feel like she has been seen through.

She averted her gaze for a moment before looking back at him, this time, not into his eyes, but his face.

And she would be lying if she said her breathing did not hitch for a moment.

She never felt the concept of attraction or love that interesting after her 18th birthday. So, as Han Mei, she died at the age of 23 with 'single' relationship status.

It was not like she has never seen handsome men. Her university friends, her brother's subordinates, her brother, most of the men she knew were top-notch, any girl would die to have a glimpse.

Even if she ignored her family and talked about the elite businessmen and big shots across the globe, the man, supposedly her husband, would be in an entire another league.

'He still looks the same, as handsome as ever,' she thought to herself as she glanced at his handsome face but somehow he was too cold and indifferent, a complete contrast to the personality that she remembered.

He was familiar to her yet his attitude was not. At this moment, he was more like a familiar stranger.

A strange light flickered in her eyes but she masked her expressions before anyone could notice it.

With a look that could split heavens, with the features that seemed to be highlighting god's partiality while carving him, he sat there quietly, unbothered by everything else.

No wonder Yu Mei Zhen fell in love at first sight, just with a look at his picture.

An item like him…cough…a man like him is indeed rare.

”Seen enough?” His voice was deep, alluring, and compatible with his fascinating looks but it was cold, to the point that his tone seemed to be laced with icy thorns, making the temperature drop.

”Nope..Ah...Yes, were you saying something?” she blinked, coming back to her senses as she casually threw the question.

It was not intentional but she wondered if he said something while she was absent-minded.

Steward Gu, for the second time in his life, felt that the girl was quite pitiful.

He gritted his teeth before moving towards the back slowly, he sneakily raised his hand and waved at her, trying to get her attention.

Yu Mei curiously glanced at the man, ”Erm...Steward Gu, do you want to say something?” Luckily, she got the girl's memories and got to know how this man was addressed by her.

Before she sorted everything out, these memories will help her survive in between the circle of these strangers.

”_” Was it necessary to do this? I was trying to help you.

Gu Chen immediately shut his mouth up the moment he felt his Master's dark aura.

He put lowered his finger which was pointing towards the iPad kept on the dining table.

He knew it was against his work ethics to interrupt his Master's job but he just felt pity for the poor Miss Yu, who was soon going to suffer from his wrath.
