Chapter 23
Gu Hongfei’s face froze and his hand stopped stiffly in mid-air.
Gu Youli could not be bothered with them anymore and dusted her skirt as she got ready to leave.
Gu Hongfei’s face was ashen.
Gosh, why was he suddenly afraid of this lass? Why did he stop just because she shouted at him? That didn’t seem right.
It was so embarrassing!
To reclaim his face in front of the person he liked, Gu Hongfei reached out and pushed Gu Youli with all his might.
Gu Youli was caught off guard and stumbled backwards without being able to control her limbs.
In her previous life, she had died after being pushed like that. Now that she was pushed like again in such a manner, it felt as though her horrible nightmare had come alive.
Her face was pale and she trembled violently with helplessness and despair.
What should she do? What should she do? Would she end up just like in her previous life…
Gu Youli did not have the time to finish her thought when she tripped over something and sat down.
She groaned and subconsciously reached out to grab something but ended up hooking her arms around a man’s neck.
She turned to the side and her red lips grazed past the man’s face. She let go in a fluster and her body leaned back, subconsciously.
“Bang!” It was neither very loud nor very soft but the back of Gu Youli’s head hit the glass window behind her.
Gu Youli let out another soft groan as she covered her head with her hand. She was taking deep breaths because of the pain.
The mysterious man watched her calmly and lifted his hand to grab her arm and help her stand up.
Gu Youli was shocked and her little face flushed red in embarrassment. “I’m sorry, I’m so sorry.”
She got up with the help of that man.
She had worn a white chiffon dress today. When she got up, she realized that her skirt had got caught in the zip of a large pocket at the side of the man’s camo pants.
When she stood up, there was a soft tearing sound and the skirt got ripped apart, slightly.
Gu Youli was extremely flustered. Her face became pale and she quickly bent down to unhook her skirt from the zip.
Yang Mengshan, who hated Gu Youli to the core, caught sight of that and could never let go of such an opportunity to take revenge on Gu Youli.
She scoffed venomously inside and started rushing over to pull Gu Youli’s arm with force.
Her face was full of nervousness and worry as she looked at Gu Youli, asking her in concern, “Sis, did you injure yourself? Are you hurt? Let me take a look…”
Gu Youli subconsciously stepped back from her pull and her skirt tore with a loud “Rip”!
Her fair thighs were exposed in front of everyone.
Because it was a big split, one could even see a tiny part of her pink underwear inside.
Such an eye-opening image almost made the eyes of Gu Hongfei and the male service staff in the cafe pop out.
“Ah!” Gu Youli exclaimed and immediately tried to cover the split in her skirt.
She was flustered and embarrassment overwhelmed her.
At this moment, the aloof man stood up elegantly.
He pulled the table cloth while the coffee cup and vase on the table remained intact as though it was some sort of magic. He tied the table cloth around Gu Youli’s waist quickly, with elegance in every movement.
Gu Youli’s heart raced and her face was beet red. With one hand, she held onto the table cloth tightly.
