Chapter 12 Ask Nicely For A Favor

• “Nuan, are you asking for a favor?” A smirk flashed across Fu Siye's eyes. He stood up and towered over her, “If you are, you should ask nicely for it.”
• Gu Annuan went pale. She could barely breathe, as if someone was covering her nose and mouth.
• Eight years ago, when he abandoned her cruelly, she knew he disliked her. Everything he did was only to mess around with her.
• They were supposedly in love, but in just two months, she was emotionally tortured by him. He however escaped unscathed from their relationship.
• Then, he disappeared without a trace for the next eight years.
• But she was traumatized by the two months they had together.
• How could he be willing to help her?
• “Gu Annuan, do you still think that your family is still the powerful Gu family? Do you think that you're still the Ms. Gu who everyone used to love?” Since Fu Siye said nothing, Li Yunsuo lashed out impudently, “Even if you say that you know Mr. Fu, he might not be willing to admit it!”
• “Are you being serious? DFO's net worth is around half of Jin City's value. Mr. Fu is one of the most powerful men around. Gu Annuan is just a down and out socialite. How could Mr. Fu possibly know her, let alone invite her here!”
• “Li is right! The Gu family raised a liar!”
• A crowd started gathering and gossiping about Gu Annuan and the Gu family.
• The only thing Gu Annuan cared about was her family's reputation. She couldn't stand by and let that happen.
• She abruptly lifted her head and bit her lips before taking a step closer to Fu Siye.
• In front of everyone, Gu Annuan stood on her toes and placed her arm on his shoulder. She whispered right in his ears, “Ye, please help me out.”
• Her tone was imploring, but there was a huge smile on her face. Both of them were standing close together and it was obvious that they knew each other.
• “So, they did know each other!”
• “Mr. Fu was never caught with another woman, but he didn't push her away. They must be close!”
• In a flash, Gu Annuan had turned the tides. Everyone was siding with her now.
• Li Yunsuo's face fell as he finally realized that they really did know each other. The man hurriedly turned and attempted to leave the area to avoid attention.
• When Gu Annuan was about to step back from Fu Siye, he suddenly stretched out a hand and wrapped it around her waist, pulling her into his arms. He brought her to his side and blocked Li Yunsuo's way, “Uncle Li, are you leaving without greeting me?”
• Li Yunsuo was obviously embarrassed. The man was in his fifties. If he really did apologize in front of everyone, that would be humiliating.
• “Uncle Li, what did you say earlier? If it was all just a misunderstanding, you'll apologize to Nuan, right? Are you planning to leave in a hurry to avoid this?”
• Fu Siye lifted his glass and took a sip from it. There was a hint of blush on his face. No one knew if he was intoxicated by the wine or by the beautiful lady in his arms.
• “Since young, when people misunderstood and made Nuan upset, I was the one who stood out to help her. Even though the Gu family is in trouble now, I still have to help her.”
• Fu Siye's act was in earnest. In his arms, Gu Annuan could smell the faint fragrance of the shower gel he had used. But the more he acted, the more she felt absurd.
• Since young?
• We weren't even childhood sweethearts!
