The Billionaire's Priceless Darling: 33 Days of the CEO's Pursuit - Chapter 51 - Taking Her to Buy Toiletries 3

His face always carried a gentle and elegant smile.

Chu Shixiu.

So this shopping mall belonged to Chu’s Company.

As if sensing a gaze, Chu Shixiu lifted his head and looked in her direction. Gu Xiaoai hurriedly turned away, dropping the book in her hand and fled in haste.

“Miss, your book.”

Chu Shixiu called out politely.

Gu Xiaoai’s mind went blank, unsure of where to run, she just hid at the other end of the bookshelf, her heart pounding like never before.

The sound of steady footsteps approached.

For a long while, the other side of the bookshelf remained silent and still.

Gu Xiaoai only heard someone asking in confusion, “General Manager, is there something wrong with this book? Why do you keep staring at it?”

Chu Shixiu’s gentle voice reached her ears, “Nothing, just reminded me of a friend.”

Friend…

Gu Xiaoai covered her mouth, her eyes suddenly moist. Did he still remember her?

He hadn’t forgotten her… had he?

“Could it be the General Manager’s old flame?” someone joked nearby.

“Don’t talk nonsense, the General Manager is about to get engaged.”

“Well, Paris is a great place. Isn’t the General Manager going to get engaged to Mayor Liang’s Young Lady soon? They can have a wonderful time in Paris.” Several people chimed in.

Chu Shixiu merely smiled warmly, saying nothing, as he placed the book back on the shelf.

“Let’s go, General Manager, I’ll accompany you upstairs for another inspection.”

“Alright.”

After a while, the footsteps of the group faded away.

He’s getting engaged?

Taking his fiancée on a honeymoon? To Paris, the place they once decided to visit?

Her heart felt as if it had been slashed, bleeding with pain.

Tears uncontrollably streamed down, Gu Xiaoai leaned against the bookshelf, crying silently, the agony spreading from her heart, threatening to engulf her.

Her phone rang, the word “Tyrant” flashing on the screen, somewhat menacing.

Gu Xiaoai halted her sobbing, cleared her throat before answering, “Hello, this is Gu Xiaoai.”

“Where the hell are you?” Li Juefeng’s displeased voice came through.

…

Did he have to speak so harshly?

Gu Xiaoai wiped her tears, feigning nonchalance, “Just wandering around, are you still there? I’ll come find you.”

That adult novelty section… she really didn’t want to step into that area.

The phone went silent for a moment, then the cold voice sounded again, “Why are you crying?”

Gu Xiaoai froze, looking around in astonishment.
