The Billionaire's Priceless Darling: 33 Days of the CEO's Pursuit - Chapter 163 - Arms Wrapped Around Her from Behind 2

Gu Xiaoai stood there, stunned, unsure of how to react, just staring at him blankly. Her heart skipped a few beats.

Chu Shixiu, filled with joy, took her hand, turned her to face him, and embraced her once more, holding her tightly. His voice was as soft as a breeze, “It’s really you… Xiao Ai.”

There was a hint of contentment in his voice.

Gu Xiaoai had never imagined reuniting with Chu Shixiu under such circumstances. The thought of him always brought pain to her heart, and now he stood right in front of her.

His arms were still wrapped around her, so real it was almost overwhelming.

He carried a faint scent of mint, just like his gentle and humble nature, refreshing and clean, lingering in the air.

Her mind was a complete blur.

She stood there, dazed, as he held her, her chin resting on his shoulder, her eyes stinging with unshed tears.

He wore an elegant white suit, and her tears fell, soaking into the fabric, leaving a damp mark.

Chu Shixiu had always been a gentle man, yet now he held her as if afraid she might vanish, pressing her against his warm chest, so close she could feel the fervent beating of his heart.

“Xiao Ai, Xiao Ai, Xiao Ai…”

His voice, usually so gentle, was now slightly hoarse, as he whispered her name over and over, holding her tightly.

His warm hands slowly moved up, gently stroking her wet hair, murmuring as if in a dream, “Xiao Ai… I’ve finally found you.”

I’ve finally found you…

Xiao Ai… I’ve finally found you.

Tears flowed more freely now, and Gu Xiaoai cried silently.

She knew he had been searching for her all along.

But he didn’t know she had been hiding from him…

“Where did you go? Why didn’t you come to find me?” Chu Shixiu asked urgently, his voice trembling slightly, holding her even tighter, as if wanting to merge her into his very being.

Gu Xiaoai’s slender hands almost lifted to embrace him, to respond to his hug.

The reflection of their blurred figures on the metal door opposite seemed to warn her, reminding her of what a lowly person she had become…

She was tainted.

She had debased herself, ever since her family’s downfall, she was no longer worthy of someone like Chu Shixiu, who walked in the light, and now… she was even less deserving.
