You Played a Corpse So Well, I Hired You to Act

Two minutes passed, right on the dot.

Ye Nanshen turned around.

The guy was that precise without even checking a watch.

Gu Luosheng suspected he had a stopwatch in his head.

"You're wearing that?" Ye Nanshen looked her over with obvious distaste.

Gu Luosheng gave him a smile that didn't reach her eyes. "Buddy, these are already the nicest clothes I own."

Gu Luosheng was helpless, too. Gu Luoxi had prepared all the clothes in her wardrobe. How could she describe them? They were ugly in every imaginable way... even the middle-aged ladies at the farmers' market would have admitted defeat.

Ye Nanshen offered no comment, coldly uttering a single word. "Come."

When Gu Luosheng saw that the villa's door had been blasted apart, her brow twitched hard twice.

If she disobeyed him, she would probably end up just like that door.

Luckily, her parents weren't home. They had gone with Gu Luoxi to see a doctor. Otherwise... she wouldn't have known how to explain it.

"Mr. Ye, could you... get someone to fix the door? I'm worried my parents will get a fright when they come home." Gu Luosheng had no idea whether asking would help, but she said it anyway.

Ye Nanshen glanced back at her.

Gu Luosheng instantly chickened out. "Never mind, never mind. I can find someone to fix it later. I know it's a hassle, so I won't waste your time, Mr. Ye."

Ye Nanshen frowned.

Hadn't this little thing been pretty defiant just a moment ago?

Why was she so afraid of him now?

Ye Nanshen raised his hand and placed a call. "The Gu Family villa. Three minutes. Fix the front door."

With that, Ye Nanshen hung up.

Seeing no reaction from her, Ye Nanshen's frown deepened. "Anything else?"

Gu Luosheng shook her head like a rattle drum. "No, nothing! Thank you!"

She simply hadn't processed it yet. The main villain was actually getting the door fixed!!!

"I don't care to hear that. Just play your part well at the banquet." A ruthless man of few words, Ye Nanshen finished speaking and turned his broad back to Gu Luosheng.

Gu Luosheng hurried after him at a jog.

She had to admit, this man was seriously handsome.

No wonder the author had spent two thousand words describing his looks.

At the time, Gu Luosheng had scoffed. Now, she felt the author hadn't had enough words. The man really did have a face so gorgeous it made gods and mortals alike seethe with envy, along with a body that looked slim in clothes and muscular without them.

Ahem... as for what he actually looked like without clothes...

She didn't know.

But Gu Luosheng figured... she would find out sooner or later, right?

While her thoughts were wandering, she slammed straight into him with a thud.

Her nose stung, bringing tears to her eyes. "Why... did you stop all of a sudden?"

Feeling the softness against his back, Ye Nanshen stiffened.

His eyes darkened, too.

"Your legs are too short. I was afraid you'd fall behind." Ye Nanshen gave a soft cough, his voice husky.

Gu Luosheng pouted. Did he have to be so blunt?

Besides, she was 168 centimeters tall. She clearly had a goddess's figure.

"No, I'm keeping up." Unfortunately, he had the upper hand, so Gu Luosheng didn't dare voice her complaints.

"Mm." The man gave a low grunt and strode off on his long legs.

So annoyed was Gu Luosheng that she stomped hard on his shadow twice.

She got into the car and discovered that Ye Nanshen had taken a seat in the back, too.

"Aren't you... going to sit up front?" Gu Luosheng asked innocently.

Ye Nanshen lowered his gaze. "What? You want me to be your chauffeur?"

That single remark left Gu Luosheng completely speechless.

Gu Luosheng had always thought she was pretty good at verbal sparring, but now she knew there was always someone better.

She was no match for this man.

Gu Luosheng behaved herself.

But only for three seconds.

After three seconds, Gu Luosheng couldn't hold back anymore.

"Can you tell me what Grandma's like? Is she easy to get along with?"

"What should I say when we get there?"

"Do you have any AD calcium milk? Wahaha will do if you don't."

The book had barely introduced the main villain's family, so... she really knew nothing about them.

Listening to Gu Luosheng chatter away, the driver broke into a nervous sweat on her behalf. Even if his young master threw her straight out of the car in a moment, he wouldn't have found it surprising.

She really was... talking nonstop.

His young master liked peace and quiet.

"All you need to do is shut up." Ye Nanshen slowly opened his eyes and spoke.

"Oh, Grandma prefers quieter people. Got it. I'm great at pretending." Gu Luosheng folded her arms across her chest and tilted her chin up playfully.

Ye Nanshen shot her a glance.

"Yes, I know. You played a corpse so well that I hired you to put on an act with me."

Instead of getting angry, Gu Luosheng laughed. "Haha, did you investigate me? I filmed that corpse role ages ago. You wouldn't necessarily have found it without doing some serious digging."

Ye Nanshen: ...

Hehe, the main villain is paying so much attention to me. Could he actually like me?

Ye Nanshen: ...

Sometimes, being alone really was frightening.

Especially when he had to spend so much time with a girl this full of herself.

The car stopped along the way.

"What are we doing?" Gu Luosheng leaned against the window and peered outside. They were still on a shopping street, clearly not at the Ye Family Old Residence yet.

"Changing your clothes. If you show up like that, the Ye Family will throw you out," Ye Nanshen said evenly.

Gu Luosheng glanced down at herself. "Surely it's not that bad."

"If we're buying clothes... are you paying?" Gu Luosheng blinked and added another question.

"Yes." The man nodded.

That made Gu Luosheng much more enthusiastic.

Ye Nanshen answered a call, and Gu Luosheng went inside first.

The moment she entered, Gu Luosheng saw a woman in high heels playing on her phone, looking quite relaxed.

That's Gu Luoxi's regular designer!

What? I actually ran into her?

Gu Luosheng's interest was instantly piqued.

This woman is no saint. On the surface, she's a designer, but she's actually pretty wild. She even had... sex with two men in her design studio.

Holy shit, city people really know how to have fun.

At that moment, Gu Luosheng's appetite for gossip blazed to life.

I'm going to bed early. Good night to you too, host. Makka Pakka.

Gu Luosheng: ???

The system needed sleep, too?

Useless thing...

By now, the way Gu Luosheng looked at the designer had changed.

When the designer spotted Gu Luosheng, she gave a contemptuous smile and walked over. "Hmm? Are you in the wrong place? What's cannon fodder like you doing in our design studio?"
