The Billionaire's Priceless Darling: 33 Days of the CEO's Pursuit - Chapter 162 - Arms Wrapped Around Her from Behind 1

Guan Nana had an official boyfriend before, but after being caught in a steamy kiss with the Korean star Ela, her reputation plummeted.

“Gu Xiaoai! You’ll never have a good end!”

Guan Nana screamed from the floor, her voice tearing through the air.

Gu Xiaoai, uninterested in engaging further, turned and headed for the door. Liu Zimi, who had been silently observing, looked somewhat disappointed, lost in her own thoughts.

Casting a glance at Liu Zimi, Gu Xiaoai opened the restroom door and left, immediately hearing Guan Nana’s loud wails echoing from inside.

The cries were heart-wrenching.

From an onlooker’s perspective, hearing such a lament might have stirred some sympathy in her…

But now… she couldn’t muster any.

With her hair still dripping wet, Gu Xiaoai continued down the hotel corridor, shivering as she sneezed.

She pushed open door after door, unable to find the room where the auction items were kept.

As if they never intended to let go.

The warmth of the fingers seeped through her evening gown…

Fuming, Gu Xiaoai turned her head to unleash her fury, “Guan Nana, will you ever-”

The words caught in her throat.

Gu Xiaoai’s eyes widened in shock…

The face before her was gentle and reserved, with a deep sorrow etched between the brows, eyes looking at her in disbelief.

Chu Shixiu.

It was Chu Shixiu…

Not Guan Nana ambushing her.

It was Chu Shixiu who had embraced her from behind…

“Ah Xiu…” Gu Xiaoai murmured his name, stunned, her eyes wide with disbelief.

How could it be him… how could it be him…

Staring at the face so close to hers.

Tears… fell silently.

“Xiao Ai…”
