Chapter 2: Under The Cherry Blossom Tree

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

After Su Liang left the hotel, she rushed to the hospital to pay the long-overdue medical bills. Then, she returned to the Bai family.

Her father, Su Wen, was Master Bai’s assistant. After her father died, Master Bai felt sorry for the mother and daughter pair, so he asked the mother, Jiang Wan, to work as a helper in the Bai family. She and her mother moved to the servants’ room in the Bai family.

The dilapidated and crowded servants’ room didn’t fit in with the magnificent Bai family’s villa. Fortunately, this row of cubicles was covered by a small cherry blossom forest in the front yard.

“Hey, little b*tch!” Su Liang was staring at the cherry blossom forest in a daze, and her thoughts were interrupted by the sudden scolding. Butler Liu ran over aggressively and pinched Su Liang’s back. “Do you really think you’re a phoenix just because you look a little like the Missy? How dare you walk around the house without a mask!”

“Hiss –” Su Liang gasped. The butler happened to pinch the spot where the man had bruised the night before. It was a pain that went beyond skin-deep. When she thought of last night’s sex, she instantly turned red in embarrassment. The butler only thought that Su Liang was embarrassed by his actions and stood to the side, gloating.

“Hurry up and get to work! Get rid of these damn bird nests on the cherry trees and keep chirping all day long…” the butler put his hands on his waist and scolded fiercely.

Su Liang had long been used to this kind of life, so she quickly acceded and put on a mask to carry the ladder.

Because she looked very similar to Bai Qing, from the day she and her mother moved into the Bai family, she had been required to wear a mask at all times. Otherwise, she would be scolded at the least, or beaten at the worst.

At that moment, a high-end limousine stopped outside the Bai residence. A young man with a cold face, a tall figure, and luxurious clothes stepped out of the limousine.

In the front yard, the butler was still standing under the tree and cursing at Su Liang. Upon seeing the man walk in, he immediately switched into an attentive expression and bowed. “Young Master Gu, why didn’t you inform us of your arrival? Sorry for not welcoming you.”

The person who came was the grandson of the richest man in Jiang City, the fourth young master of the Gu family, Gu Han, who was worth a hundred billion yuan.

Su Liang had been focused on climbing the ladder. When she heard the sound, she turned back and saw the man’s handsome face. She was shocked. “Why is it him?”

She was about to climb up the ladder, but her foot suddenly missed and she fell backward…

The man reacted quickly and caught her in his arms. Su Liang’s heart almost stopped beating when they looked at each other for a few seconds. The scenes from last night appeared in front of her eyes, and his heavy breathing was still echoing in her ears. She hurriedly shook off the man’s hand and stood to the side helplessly.

The man slowly stood up and narrowed his eyes to stare at the nervous girl. She was well-proportioned and wore a thick mask. Her palm-sized face was topped off with a pair of big eyes… Why did embracing her just now feel so familiar? It was just like the girl from last night.

The butler stood aside and saw that the atmosphere was not right, so he hurriedly pushed Su Liang aside. “You can’t do anything right. You’re so stupid. You’ve polluted young master Gu’s eyes for no reason. Go to the kitchen and get them to prepare tea!”

As the butler spoke, he pulled young master Gu’s arm and walked into the kitchen. “The newcomer is so insensible. Please come in. I’ll go and invite Master, Madam, and Miss Now.”

In the hall, Gu Han was leaning on the sofa. His eyes were cold, and his whole body exuded a powerful aura that made people stay away from him. He frowned slightly and seemed a little impatient.

Su Liang was rushed to pour tea by the kitchen staff again. She took a deep breath and comforted herself that she would not be discovered, but her hands could not stop trembling. She was frightened by this man’s powerful aura.

Gu Han looked at the girl pouring tea in front of him, like a frightened rabbit. As he recalled the feeling of hugging her, the corners of his mouth gradually curved. He leaned forward and grabbed her wrist.

When she felt the shadow looming over her, Su Liang could barely react when a hand reached out and grabbed her wrist. She was shocked and cried out involuntarily, knocking over the teacup in her hand.

Gu Han held her trembling wrist and approached her with a wicked smile. “Am I that scary? You’re so jumpy.”

“I, I didn’t….”
