Chapter 221 Hysteria
The people accompanying them had to repeat the process for Gu Baozhu almost every half hour, which made the already long journey even more unbearable.

Gu Baozhu leaned her forehead against the car window. The food in her stomach mixed with the sentences that sounded like a voice broadcast made her brain either go black or white.

"You must be a very good host," Gu Baozhu moved her eyes, suppressed the discomfort in her body, and stared at her with sincere admiration.

"Thank you, my major is indeed broadcasting and hosting," the man said with a smile, quite confident that his major was relevant to his profession, which made Gu Baozhu feel that she was just flattering him.

"Are we there yet?" Gu Baozhu looked outside, interrupting her subsequent broadcast. Needless to say, she knew they had arrived. There was such a large glowing building standing there. There was no more noble building nearby.

"Yes, it's right in front. This is our destination. You can take a short rest. Next..."

Gu Baozhu grimaced in pain, not quite understanding what those people who played the song on repeat were thinking.

Watching the target vehicle slowly stop in the green channel, Cui Hu took two steps forward to open the door for Gu Baozhu, took her hand and kissed the back of her hand lightly, then let her hold his arm and led everyone to the exclusive elevator.

Gu Baozhu: "..."

Wow!
Just, weird.

The dinner was like a riddle, and the actions were like those in a movie. I felt a little embarrassed. I wondered if it would be natural for me to run away later, because all of this was too fucking exaggerated.

But this can't be entirely my fault. Children from poor families have never seen the world, and it's easy for them to take similar escapist actions out of embarrassment and shame...

Then, Gu Baozhu pinched Cui Hu's arm a little nervously. Because her skirt was lifted up, she turned around very slowly, frowned a little awkwardly and said, "I'm a little nervous. I don't want to go up."

Cui Hu held her hand tightly, his eyes showing the maturity and encouragement of an adult, "Just show up for a while, it won't be long, you can go back after it's over."

Gu Baozhu pursed her lips tightly and said nothing. Cui Hu reached out and brushed some of the hair away from her eyes. His eyes curved happily, revealing a bit of sweetness. "Just bear with it. I won't let you out in the future. As long as you don't want to, no one can disturb us."

He saw that Gu Baozhu was just looking at him in confusion, her cheeks dyed a sickly red that looked like she might cry at any time. He felt the blood in her skin surging and beating, and there seemed to be a wet and sweet smell of sweat in the air.

Forcing himself not to look at her, Cui Hu looked upwards at the ticking floor numbers.

Gu Baozhu was sandwiched between the security guards and Cui Hu, and the space for her to stand became very limited. She felt that the life of a rich person was also quite terrible, as she had to worry all the time about unruly people harming her.

With a "ding" sound, before everyone filed out of the elevator, a sharp whistle passed through the air, and a woman with blood on her forehead suddenly rushed to the elevator door. The blood had already flowed into the corners of her eyes and collar, and the satin on her chest and skirt was stained red, as if she had been splashed with paint.

"Crazy! Really crazy!" She patted her chest with lingering fear, and hurriedly tried to squeeze into the elevator, but was quickly stopped by the security guard in the elevator.

Cui Hu hugged Gu Baozhu's waist and protected her from behind, with a cold expression on his handsome face, "Who gave you the courage to act so recklessly?"

The woman had obviously just seen Cui Hu's handsome face. She opened her mouth and took two steps back. Her pretty face showed some traces of age. "I'm sorry, Master Cui, I disturbed you unintentionally. Please don't bother with me for the sake of our acquaintance."

The woman bent down fiercely, speaking humbly and sincerely, and drops of blood kept dripping onto the dark red ground, completely mixing into a mess.

"Get out! You've soiled my carpet." Cui Hu hugged Gu Baozhu, whose eyes were wide open, tightly, without even looking at her, and led everyone out of the elevator.

More security guards came up. Apparently, what happened just now had caused some disturbances for the banquet. Their subordinates began to report the situation in detail. Gu Baozhu couldn't help but listen. Cui Hu looked at Gu Baozhu, who was full of curiosity, and covered her ears with anger and amusement. After watching her walk into the lounge, he arranged a few security guards to guard the door and walked towards the banquet hall.

We need to make arrangements, appease the guests, and continue with today’s main event.

"Has Gu Yuan arrived?" Cui Hu fiddled with the watch on his wrist as he walked. He glanced at the time and saw that it was less than five minutes before the agreed time.

"No, but the police have arrived."

"Well," Cui Hu paused, "I'll meet with you later."

"That's right..."

Cui Hu took a deep breath, rubbed his brows and interrupted: "Send a few more security guards to guard the door and don't let those crazy people get in."

*
It will be dark soon.

Gu Baozhu opened the window and glanced down. The moist wind suddenly ruffled her hair and made her cheeks even cooler.

Wow! What a terrifying height.

It was like a cracked cliff, and the darkness that was slowly rising with the sky almost swallowed up all the lights in the surroundings.

Gu Baozhu felt a little cold, so she wrapped her clothes tightly and closed the window. However, the warmth in the room made her feel too hot, so she threw her coat on the back of the chair, secretly opened the door a crack and counted the number of people outside.

...two four six seven eight?

What? You don't need so many people to guard the prisoners!
Gu Baozhu closed the door and fell into deep thought. She slumped on the soft sofa and fiddled with the layered hem of her skirt. The slippery pleats and white satin rustled as they were rubbed, like a snow-white and soft cream cake that had been coated with layers of intricate patterns.

It can't be an engagement party. I'm not in a hurry to deny it, but aren't upper-class people living in a castle very good at playing up the drama of being well-matched?

No? Is the Cinderella story true?!

Although I don't want to speculate in that direction, but, could Cui Hu really want to recognize her as a younger sister or elder sister? Speaking of which, how old is Cui Hu? There must be a way to explain this, should he call her a younger brother or an older brother...

There are too many people in the family, so let’s not have any more children…

The breaths in the air gradually became overlapping and intertwined, a bit like an anxious duet. Gu Baozhu paused and quickly held her breath, but still heard another heavy breathing sound.

He looked as if he was frightened, with a hint of hysteria.

She walked over to the sound, picked up a bottle of wine in her hand, and suddenly opened the spacious closet with some unknown fantasy and ambition.

Her eyes lit up and she looked at the acquaintance in the closet with surprise.

"Hey, are you okay?"
