Even from afar, he was able to see the contour of her chest.

The white swimsuit cover didn’t cover up anything. In fact, when the wet fabric clung onto her skin, it accentuated her contours even more.

Her beautifully long and slender legs were kicking up splashes as she happily swam back and forth like a fish.

Huo Sishen felt his breath getting hotter. The glass in his hand fell onto the ground.

The crisp noise abruptly drew Gu Shishi’s attention from the swimming pool.

The shadows of the trees moved, but she didn’t see anyone within sight.

“That’s odd. Was that just wind? Or a stray cat?”

Gu Shishi couldn’t figure out what the noise was but that didn’t stop her from diving right back into the water and happily swam another 2-3 laps.

Half an hour later, she finally had her fun. She got out and showered in the pool house next to the pool before she changed and walked back into her room.

A second later, Mrs. Zheng came again. She had in her arm a stack of clothes and a kind and gentle smile.

Alerts from the system came nonstop again.

[Beep! Received conservative style swimsuit from the husband (dark blue) x 1. Price: $1,345.]

[Beep! Received conservative style swimsuit for mid-to-old aged people from the husband (azure) x 1. Price: $3,566.]

[Beep! Received conservative style black swimsuit from the husband (Mother’s Day limited edition) x 1. Price: $18,488.]

Conservative… mid-to-old aged… mother’s style…

Gu Shishi was stunned. She couldn’t even hear the sound coming from the system.

“Miss, I made a mistake earlier and brought the wrong ones. These are the ones for you.”

Gu Shishi, “…..?”

Lies!

“I will need to take back the swimsuits from earlier. I’m so sorry.”

“??!!”

A few days before the pool party, Gu Shishi noticed something else that was odd. Huo Sishen’s fondness for her was starting to go up again to a point that it had made up all what had dropped before.

Not only that, as she went to the swimming pool every night, his fondness for her has been increasing daily as well. Among all the conservative mother’s style swimsuits, she finally settled on the one with black swim skirt.

She seriously felt that the boss had been peeking at her, but she couldn’t prove it.

Before the Mid-Autumn Festival, the employees at the mansion started to decrease as part of them would be going home to celebrate the festival, but many of them will also stay for the overtime pay.

Nevertheless, the normally very safe mansion started having a creepy rumor.

“I think the small garden in the back is haunted… About 10 PM last night, when I was about to get off, I came back because I forgot to lock the door. That’s when I saw a black shadow floating back and forth.”

“Did you see it too?! I saw it the night before as well!”

“Wow. Don’t make it sound so scary. You know what else? Over in my section, the wine had been dwindling, as were the glasses. I’m freaking out too, you know?”

“Oh, my!!”

“Oh, that’s nothing! Three days ago, I saw a dark shadow watching Miss Gu swim… and it looked like it was drinking wine….”

That’s what Gu Shishi heard when she happened to walk past the maid’s break area. Their talk almost made her hair stand up.

Nevertheless, she raised her hand weakly and interrupted these maids during their break. “Are you sure that wasn’t a human?”

She felt for sure that it was Huo Sishen! How else would she be getting all the fondness from?

So he had been watching her swim this entire time? While sipping on wine… ?!

Gu Shishi’s little face blushed right then and there.

“Oh, Miss Gu. We… We…”

“Don’t listen to us rambling!”

The maids started frantically trying to take back what they had said.

They were working at their employer’s home and spreading rumors that his home was haunted, and that the ghost was watching her. Worst case scenario, they could be fired.

Gu Shishi waved her hand. “I am pretty sure what you saw was a human. Did it look like Young Master?”

Author’s rambling:

Boss Huo: What’s up with these swimsuits? Why are the arms and legs revealed even for old conservative styles?

Mrs. Zheng: ……

He tapped on his cellphone in irritation.

Boss Huo nodded strongly: Go with this one.

The very next day, Gu Shishi has two sets of diving suits in her hand.
