Chapter 275

How could they even continue like this?

It felt like he was abusing her.

He had no choice but to hastily call it quits.

To tell the truth,

this was the first time he had met a girl who cried like this.

It could be considered a unique trait of its own.

Seeing Li Yunshu burrowing into the blanket to escape reality,

Xu Hao grabbed her in one swift motion…

124 The female lead's Emotional Outburst! Reporting Work in the Hotel! Must Call Him Brother-in-Law!

Xu Hao grabbed Li Yunshu.

He spoke in a self-reproachful tone.

"Yunshu, I'm sorry. I accidentally drank too much last night, and you happened to be right next to me…"

Here it comes, here it comes.

It was coming again with its devilish steps.

The classic scumbag speech.

"It's not my fault, blame it on the alcohol."

Leaving the facts aside, aren't you also to blame?

If you hadn't been clinging to me at the time, would I have reached out my devilish claws to you?

Li Yunshu was sensible enough not to blame Xu Hao in the first place.

Hearing Xu Hao's self-reproachful tone,

she couldn't help but remember that she had unconsciously leaned against Uncle Xu yesterday…

And she hadn't resisted either.

For a moment, she actually started to blame herself instead.

Recalling yesterday's scene, she was overcome with shame and stammered,

"It's… it's fine, Uncle Xu. Let's just treat it as a misunderstanding."

"No way."

Li Yunshu froze, her face full of confusion.

Xu Hao said righteously,

"How can we just treat it as a misunderstanding? That's too unfair to you. I must take responsibility for you."

"Today, I'll take you home and announce our relationship…"

Li Yunshu's mind buzzed.

A scene appeared in her mind—

Uncle Xu holding her hand and announcing to the world that they were together.

She was deeply moved…

Then, she suddenly snapped back to reality.

Fantasies were beautiful, but unrealistic.

If Uncle Xu really did that and announced he was with a minor employee like her,

Uncle Xu's reputation would be ruined.

It would also destroy his family.

And she would also gain the reputation of seducing her boss, being spat on and cursed by countless people…

Thinking back to yesterday morning, hadn't she advised her best friend in the exact same way?

What happened between them was just an accident.

Uncle Xu was so good to her.

How could she let Uncle Xu's reputation be ruined?

She quickly said in a panic,

"No, don't."

Realizing she might have sounded too intense, she softened her tone.

"Please don't announce this matter, okay? It will affect your reputation, Uncle Xu. Let's just treat it as an accident."

Xu Hao grabbed her hand.

"I don't care about any reputation. I treated you like that…"

Before he could finish,

Li Yunshu quickly cut in.

"I don't mind. As long as Uncle Xu doesn't drive me away, that's enough."

"Silly girl… how could I ever drive you away?"

Xu Hao gently pinched her delicate nose.

Then, his gaze became deeply affectionate.

"Yunshu, although you told me not to take responsibility, I can't do that."

"Actually… after spending so many days with you, your kindness, innocence, and dedication have made their way into my heart. I've already fallen in love with you."

"One must admit when they've done wrong. I won't run away. If you don't want me to publicize it, that's fine, but don't refuse my compensation."

"You must remember, this isn't compensation out of guilt because I wronged you, but because I like you—it's what I want to give to the person I love…"

Xu Hao had a serious look on his face.

Li Yunshu was stunned.

She understood what Xu Hao meant.

Uncle Xu felt sorry for her and wanted to make it up to her.

Fearing she wouldn't accept, he intentionally said he liked her.

Looking at Xu Hao's deeply affectionate expression, she couldn't help but be dazed.

Her little heart went "thump-thump".

She couldn't help but recall what her best friend had said.

As long as you can be with the person you like, why care about what others think?

At this moment, Li Yunshu's emotions erupted.

She said shyly,

"Actually, Uncle Xu, I like you too…"

"Really, Yunshu?"

Xu Hao excitedly grabbed her shoulders.

Li Yunshu nodded shyly, her face flushing as red as blood.

"Yunshu."

Hearing his voice, Li Yunshu raised her head in confusion.

Suddenly, she was speechless…

[Ding… Li Yunshu is feeling uneasy, Emotion Points +789…]

[Ding… Li Yunshu feels fear, Emotion Points +987…]

"Yunshu, why are you crying?"

Seeing Li Yunshu crying, Xu Hao asked quite curiously.

Li Yunshu stammered,

"I… I don't know either…"

Alright then.

Quite the crybaby.

It seemed he shouldn't meet her alone next time.

He had the hotel room service deliver some food.
