Chapter 202: Madly In Love
Su Ruowan feigned innocence and shook her head. Her body was trembling as though frightened by Shen Xi. “Shen Xi, I really had no idea. I noticed this bottle out there and thought it was water, so I brought it in.”
“You had no idea?” Shen Xi’s gaze was sharp and taunting.
“I don’t.” Su Ruowan turned on the waterworks and turned to Gu Xiaohan teary-eyed. Her weak and raspy voice could tug at heartstrings. “Han, it hurts…”
How could this be?
The person in the stall should be Shen Xi. Why was Han in there instead?
Shen Xi, the b*tch was evil at heart. This was all a trap she set up!
Picking up the bottle, Shen Xi drew closer and stopped in front of Su Ruowan before letting out a bloodthirsty smile. “I thought of a good idea to refresh your memory.”
She grabbed the bottle and dumped its contents onto Su Ruowan’s face.
With color draining from her complexion, Su Ruowan yelled in horror, “Han! It wasn’t me!”
Gu Xiaohan reached out to grab Shen Xi by the wrist and stared at her. “Shen Xi, that’s enough. Wanwan said that she brought the thing in from outside. She doesn’t know anything. What else do you want?”
Shen Xi was seething at this point. “Young Master Gu, so you got your wife’s back to the bitter end, huh? Well, I never heard of a culprit claiming innocence despite being armed with acid. It’s ridiculous!”
Yu An was one of her people. There was no way Shen Xi was going to sit by and watch her people suffer from injustice.
“Acid?” Gu Xiaohan sneered as though he heard a joke. Snatching the bottle from Shen Xi, he was close to pouring the remaining liquid on his arm.
Su Ruowan appeared as white as a sheet, scared witless as she let out a heart-wrenching cry, “Han, no!”
Gu Xiaohan moved quickly and spilled the content all over his arm by then. His skin remained unscathed.
There was no telling whether it was due to fright or shock, but Su Ruowan widened her eyes and held his arm in disbelief. Her voice was coarse. “Han.”
The bottle did not carry acid?
How could it be?
She brought sulfuric acid along, and it was one with the highest concentration.
Regardless of who had switched her acid, Su Ruowan should be thanking her lucky stars. Otherwise, she would be in deep trouble.
Shen Xi gave Gu Xiaohan a look worth pondering before curling her lips in contempt. “Young Master Gu, you sure are the lovesick kind.”
If her guess was right, the acid in the bottle was switched by Gu Xiaohan.
She knew it. As the book’s protagonist, Gu Xiaohan should have some brains to him and not be entirely dimwitted.
Moreover, she sensed there was something off about Gu Xiaohan right now. It was him, yet unlike him. He had it together and kept a stiff upper lip.
Tossing the empty bottle aside, Gu Xiaohan questioned her. “It was water in the bottle. Are you happy now? Wanwan was only joking. What are you trying to prove?”
“I wanted to prove that you’re madly in love with Ms. Su Ruowan.” Shen Xi grinned brightly. “Let me offer my blessing. May the love between b*tch and dog last forever.”
Gu Xiaohan had a look of disdain in his eyes. “I should thank you.”
“Han.” Su Ruowan clung onto his arm and looked at him with swollen eyes. “Don’t be mad. Shen Xi is just upset with me.”
Without casting her a glance, Gu Xiaohan looked past Shen Xi and directly at Yu An. His eyes spoke of profound iciness. “Yu An, do me a favor and forget the whole matter.”
