Peerless Little Immortal Doctor-Chapter 880 - 883: Deciding to Close the Net

At this moment, Xia Liu had an indescribable charm about him.

Which made Guo Man unintentionally focus all her attention on him.

He could chat and laugh with the richest man in the world, while also being good brothers with Fengzi, Zhao Qian, and others living at the bottom.

Guo Man felt a sense of confusion.

Which one was the real Xia Liu?

Or was it all just an act?

His love for children and eagerness to help others were things she had seen with her own eyes.

There was no doubt about it; perhaps his calmness was meant to hide a hint of sadness in his heart.

"President Guo, we’re home, President Guo..." Opening the car door, Xia Liu noticed Guo Man seemed lost in thought, so he called out to her a few times.

"Ah! We’re home?" Guo Man obviously hadn’t come back to her senses yet. When she saw Aunt Yang waiting at the door, she realized how embarrassed she felt.

"We’re home. You should rest early. I have something to do, so I’ll head to my room." Guo Man’s heart was pounding like a nervous deer, unable to calm down.

The anxiety from running added a touch of redness to her cheeks.

Back in his room, Xia Liu slowly pulled out a pack of cigarettes and lit one, inhaling greedily.

At this moment, in his Divine Sense, a graceful figure was pacing back and forth in the room.

She had her hands crossed behind her back, her face flushed with shyness.

Even without the Mind Reading Technique, judging by Guo Man’s current behavior, perhaps he had already moved into her heart.

This was something Xia Liu both wanted and didn’t want.

The purpose of getting close to Guo Man was to gain her trust, wasn’t it?

Now that his goal was achieved, and enormously successfully at that.

If he wished, he could soon draw in the net.

But should he take the initiative or tacitly allow it, once his identity was exposed, Guo Man would inevitably collapse.

Xia Liu didn’t want to see her like that.

He was conflicted.

He didn’t expect to find himself caught in such tumultuous emotions.

It was as if his heart had stopped for a second, as if he had lost something important.

It wasn’t until 10 PM that Guo Man quietly came downstairs.

She kept observing from the stairs.

It was as if she were a child who had done something wrong.

Afraid that after meeting her parents, she would be scolded.

Xia Liu was always cultivating in his room.

When he opened his eyes, there was a hint of helplessness in his expression. freewebnσvel.cѳm

Perhaps he couldn’t avoid this game.

Guo Man tiptoed to the kitchen, carefully opened the fridge, wanting to cook something.

Suddenly, she felt a pair of eyes watching her and quickly turned around.

"Ah!"

The moment she saw it, Guo Man screamed, "Why aren’t you asleep yet?"

The person standing at the kitchen door, who else could it be but Xia Liu?

She saw Guo Man clenching her clothes with her jade hands, looking a bit at a loss.

"I just came back in from the wind outside and thought there was a rat in the kitchen. Didn’t I scare you?"

Xia Liu said with a cheerful smile.

"You nearly scared me to death."

Guo Man was furious that he dared to call her a rat.

"My bad. President Guo, please wait outside. I’ll make you some dinner."

"Sure! If it’s not tasty, I’ll have to see if I should dock your pay a little."

Guo Man hadn’t heard that Xia Liu could cook, guessing he might be at her level at best.

"Haha, that’s an option."

...

Sitting by the dining table outside, Guo Man propped her chin up, her eyes lingering on Xia Liu.

His movements were so adept. So, men cooking could be handsome too.

Xia Liu’s Divine Sense was always enveloping the villa.

Guo Man’s peeking, he saw it all.

Before coming downstairs, he made a decision.

Given that things have already come to this point.

Continuing to develop it further will eventually lead to the same outcome.

The ending was already destined, so why waste more time?

The sooner the net was drawn, the sooner he could know the answer and return.

Guo Man would definitely be hurt; it’s only a matter of time.

Xia Liu had already thought of how to make amends.

When the time comes, he’ll see what she decides to do. If she wants to stab, he’ll stand still for her to stab.

If it’s material compensation, that’s much simpler.

That will depend on the situation.

Once you draw the bow, there’s no turning back. Once done, go all out till the end!

Not long after, Xia Liu came out with a tray.

On top of it, two vegetable dishes and one meat, along with a bowl of fragrant rice.

The moment Xia Liu walked out of the kitchen, Guo Man smelled the aroma.

She was amazed.

Without a doubt, she had underestimated Xia Liu and overestimated herself.

This kind of aroma was not something she could create.

"Come, President Guo, let’s see if I get a pay cut or a pay raise for this meal."

Guo Man said nothing, picked up her chopsticks, and slowly chewed under Xia Liu’s gaze.

"This is so delicious!"

After swallowing the food, Guo Man had an indescribable feeling in her mind.

It was as if she wasn’t eating food, but a mint leaf that could clear the mind.

Even her vision became much clearer.

Guo Man didn’t know that Xia Liu had added Spiritual Energy when cooking this meal.

To ordinary people, it was an otherworldly supplement.

Less than ten people could enjoy such food.

Most of them were girls who had eaten it before, but later on, Xia Liu didn’t have much time at home, so there weren’t opportunities to cook.

Also, the girls were cultivators; they didn’t feel much anymore.

The sensation wasn’t nearly as profound as what an ordinary person like Guo Man experienced.

"As long as President Guo likes it, it’s been a long time since I’ve cooked."

Xia Liu smiled joyfully, but with a hint of sadness.

Just like when he came here, after his wife and children left, he changed.

"If I could eat your cooking every day, I’d be so happy."

Guo Man put down her chopsticks, her eyes filled with vital energy as she gazed at Xia Liu.

"Depends on the person. If President Guo likes it, I can cook for you every day."

"Let’s forget about that. I have no right to ask you to cook every day unless you were my husband."

As they talked more deeply, Guo Man became bolder.

She even dared to mention the word ’husband’.

"Er...er..."

Xia Liu gave a wry smile, this girl dared to say such things, testing him?

"No problem at all. Just call me if you want to eat, and I’ll make it for you."

Xia Liu replied with a serene smile.

"Giggle, I was just joking. How could I inconvenience you? You’ve helped me so much, it should really be me thanking you."

"Each thing is separate, especially since I didn’t know Xiao Bai was so impressive."

"You’re truly blessed to casually befriend the world’s richest man."

Guo Man was genuinely envious, but Xia Liu also had his moments of sorrow, with his wife and child...

"It’s true, for instance, I also met the most beautiful girl in all of Harbor City and was fortunate enough to become her personal bodyguard."

...

Xia Liu’s words left Guo Man speechless.

Since when did this guy become so eloquent?

Could this have been his nature all along?

And after his family incident, his personality changed.

Lante’s appearance allowed him to open up, making new friends, gradually freeing him from his pain?
