Chapter 23 – Housework Can Increase Fondness (2)

Huo Sishen pursed his lips and frowned slightly.

Under the sun, the girl’s lips were a little dry after bustling about the entire afternoon, even the lines on her lips had become more visible.

Both sides of her cheeks were already beet red, looking like layers of pink on top of a rose petal.

Sweat was dripping down slowly from the tiny hairs on her forehead, making her limpid eyes even more clear-looking and also liked they were blending into the shiny sunlight into a translucent shine.

“Miss Gu, I’ve told you not to use the scissors!” Shouted Shi Li before long.

The shout immediately interrupted her picturesque motions.

“Oh, oh, I’m sorry, sorry! I just wanted to trim the flowers a little, this way the flower buds would get more nutrients as well as have a more pleasing layering effect.” Gu Shishi explained quickly.

“You don’t need to be concerned with whether it’s pleasing or not! We have gardeners who’d take care of that! You just focus on wedding! Haven’t Butler Lin listed them all out for you?” Shi Li’s voice was quite loud.

“Oh yes, I am sorry.” Said the girl, sounding a little disappointed.

Huo Sishen’s brows furrowed.

“Young Master, the car is ready.” Siyi, standing next to him, opened up the car door of the car parking outside the front of the house.

Huo Sishen looked down but he didn’t move.

“Mmm,” he said after a long while.

Having said that, Siyi noticed that his boss hadn’t moved an inch. He looked over where Huo Sishen was looking at with a slightly displeased look and noticed the two people in the garden.

Miss Gu?

“Who’s that?” Words came out of Huo Sishen’s thin lips.

“Ugh… You mean Shi Li from Gardening?” Naturally, Siyi knew everyone who worked in the mansion.

“Greasy, sloppy, and noisy.” Said Huo Sishen as he squinted.

Siyi’s heart skipped a beat immediately. He looked in the direction with sympathy in his eyes.

“I understand. I will have the butler take care of it.” She would either be fined or fired.

But… working under the sun, it wasn’t her fault that her sweat had messed up her makeup. Siyi shook his head.

He was just about to look away when he caught sight of Miss Gu, standing nearby. Her cheeks were pink but, truthfully, there were no signs of oiliness on her face at all. Even her sweat looked natural and clear.

What a dramatic difference!

After hearing Siyi’s response, Huo Sishen nodded in approval and quickly walked up and got into the car.

The air conditioning had been running in the car, and one couldn’t feel any of the heat from the outside. The car made a turn and quickly drove down the path between the garden and toward the front entrance.

As they drove passed the flower bed, one could see even clearer the girl who was kneeling on the ground; there were small beads of sweat on the tip of her nose and her moisten long and curly eyelashes wavered like butterflies.

Through the car window, the look in Huo Sishen’s eyes deepened.

From the passenger seat, Siyi turned around and asked, “Young Master, we are heading into the office directly, right?”

Huo Sishen sat there properly but his eyes were still lingering toward the outside, “What’s the temperature today?”

“Huh?” How did the conversation jump there? Baffled, Siyi looked down at his phone, “36 degrees Celsius right now; going to be 38 later in the day.”

Huo Sishen pursed his lips. An image popped up immediately in his mind. It was the little face that was bright red from the heat of the sun.

“Time off.”

Siyi turned around right away, “Eh?”

“Everybody at the mansion has today off.” Huo Sishen stopped looking outside and expressionlessly picked up the documents that was sitting next to him. “Paid time off.”

Siyi finally was able to turn back around. He found his voice again after a long while, “Oh…. Okay.”

He has been with Young Master Huo for 7 years, and this was the first time he had heard of a day off.

Was it the temperature outside?

The Young Master must be in a good mood having been able to sleep for 2 hours!
