Aristocratic Shocking Love: The First Lady

The dress. Do you like it?

Gu Youli tried to fight the panic at that moment. She would not allow herself to become weak.

She needed to get out of this place right now.

Gu Youli lifted the blanket, changed, and ran out quickly.

At the entrance of the hospital, Gu Youli stared at the crumpled fifty-dollar bill in her hands.

This amount of money wouldn’t be enough for her to stay a night in a motel but she didn’t want to return to the ward. Will she end up sleeping by the roadside?

At this moment, a car rolled to a stop in front of her and a cold voice reached her. “Get in!”

Gu Youli lifted her head in surprise and met the gaze that was brighter than the stars and wider than the night sky.

Yu Feibai sat in his car and stared at her.

In the silent night, she was standing at the hospital’s entrance as the breeze played with her hair, making it messy. She was wearing her large camo military uniform which made her skinny body look even frailer.

The boundless lights from the street lamps made her look like an abandoned kitten, delicate and lonely.

This was a completely different image from that cold, overbearing, and vicious girl whom he had seen in the cafe that day.

Gu Youli’s mind was still on the fact that she did not have enough money to stay in a motel. When she saw that the person in the car was Yu Feibai, her eyes lit up.

She did not pause to wonder why Yu Feibai had not gone back yet and ran immediately to get into the passenger’s seat.

Yu Feibai started driving, expressionlessly, and asked her. “Are you hungry?”

Gu Youli smiled. “Yeah. I felt hungry so I was about to go out to grab some food. You can drop me off at the nearest eating place!”

She thought that he must have assumed her to be going for food when he saw her counting money at the hospital’s entrance.

“I happen to be hungry, too. Let’s eat together!” Yu Feibai’s words were overbearing. It was not a question but a statement.

Gu Youli, who was still worried about having no excuse to borrow money from him, could never let such a great opportunity slip pass.

She smiled a little diffidently, “We can eat together but I only have 50 dollars with me. It will have to be your treat!”

Yu Feibai did not say anything. He did not even take a second glance at Gu Youli.

That made Gu Youli feel a little defeated. She thought morosely that he hadn’t even bothered replying with a yes or no.

How am I supposed to have the cheek to borrow money if you’re not going to say anything?

The temperature in the car dropped down by a few degrees.

Gu Youli stared at Yu Feibai’s side-profile for long hoping that he would say something.

However, Yu Feibai did not utter a single word. He kept his gaze straight ahead and steered the car adeptly, treating Gu Youli as if she did not exist.

Gu Youli felt a little angry and finally gave up. She planned to go back to the hospital after that free meal.

The car stopped in front of a private restaurant. This place was fancier than normal restaurants. It was quite late and there weren’t many people around, so it looked a little desolate.

Yu Feibai found a table next to the window and sat down. He immediately ordered a few appetizers and, very gentlemanly and surprisingly, asked Gu Youli what she wanted to eat.

Gu Youli beamed at him. “Anything!”

While they were waiting for the dishes to be served, not a single word was exchanged between them and the atmosphere became slightly awkward.

Yu Feibai watched Gu Youli calmly and seemed to be unfathomable like the depths of the ocean.

Gu Youli felt a little awkward under his gaze. His deep-set eyes seemed to have the ability to see through a person.

She did not want to meet his eyes so she kept looking around here and then, instead.

Suddenly, Yu Feibai said gently, “The dress. Do you like it?”
