Hot Search Incoming: The Yandere Heiress’s Wife-Chasing Livestream - Chapter 27

Gu Zhichou had suspected someone might be secretly filming, which is why she ordered Ning Yiyuan to search the area.

This precaution inadvertently saved her.

The sudden ring of her phone, an unexpected plot twist the author hadn’t foreseen, momentarily broke her restraint and prevented her from striking Lin Ruoyun.

Had the scene been captured on camera, the narrative would have been impossible to spin.

Gu Zhichou might have been able to suppress the scandal quickly, but Lin Ruoyun would undoubtedly use the footage to blackmail her way into the Gu Family.

Given her character’s lack of extreme ambition, Gu Zhichou would ultimately have to let her in.

Gu Zhichou’s calculations were almost flawless.

Yet she never imagined that the person secretly filming her…

…was also the person she most longed to see.

“Shi Mi…”

Gu Zhichou stared at the woman in the raincoat, momentarily speechless.

She knew Shi Mi had simply been assigned this task, perhaps without even understanding the situation.

But the photos were likely already in her hands.

Surrounded by her entourage, Gu Zhichou felt she should be furious.

But how could she possibly lash out at Shi Mi?

There were still so many questions she needed to ask.

Gu Zhichou lowered her gaze and asked, “Did Lin Ruoyun send you?”

Shi Mi looked at her and nodded slightly.

Truthfully, she didn’t understand it either. She had just opened her eyes to find a camera in her hand, pointed at Gu Zhichou kneeling down to speak with Lin Ruoyun in the distance.

An inexplicable anger flared in her chest.

She raised her hand and snapped a photo of the scene.

The next moment, Ning Yiyuan arrived with his men and confronted Gu Zhichou.

“Give me the camera,” Gu Zhichou demanded.

Shi Mi blinked and handed over the device.

Gu Zhichou turned to Ning Yiyuan, her voice icy. “Get Lin Ruoyun out of the Gu Family. If she ever appears in my sight again, I’ll have her arrested for hiring someone to take those photos. She’ll be drinking tea at the police station.”

Gu Zhichou wasn’t avoiding reporting Lin Ruoyun to the authorities or seeking harsh retribution. Rather, Shi Mi and the photographer had a contractual relationship. Filing a report would inevitably implicate Shi Mi.

Only Gu Zhichou knew that Shi Mi hadn’t acted willingly. The photographer, through no fault of her own, was being punished solely because of the author’s plot.

Gu Zhichou found this deeply unfair.

In comics, the protagonist could condemn a background character with a single line, forcing them to pay the price. If Shi Mi lacked her own will, perhaps it wouldn’t matter. But Shi Mi was Gu Zhichou’s Little Mute. How could she bear to see her suffer?

Thus, Gu Zhichou could only banish and warn Lin Ruoyun. The woman, unaware of Gu Zhichou’s connection to Shi Mi, would likely forget the incident by the next panel.

Gu Zhichou knew how cowardly Lin Ruoyun was. She wouldn’t dare return, effectively eliminating a potential threat.

She glanced down at the camera, then at Shi Mi’s pitiful, tearful expression.

“What are you looking at?” she snapped, her tone harsh. “How many pictures did you take? Tell me honestly.”

Shi Mi lowered her head, water still dripping from her hair, looking utterly miserable.

Gu Zhichou, unable to contain her anger, opened the camera to review the photos.

But at first glance, she froze.

Shi Mi had taken pictures of her from every angle, capturing every facet of her.

This meant that even if Gu Zhichou hadn’t known she was being photographed, Shi Mi would never have leaked the photos to harm her.

Gu Zhichou’s eyelashes fluttered slightly as she glanced up at the flurry of bullet comments. She quickly dismissed the others, instructing Lan Hui to bring in a set of clean clothes. Then, she pulled Shi Mi into the room.

Lowering her head, Gu Zhichou murmured softly, “From now on, every time we meet, we’ll follow a routine.”

Before Shi Mi could react, warm, soft lips covered hers.

The other woman still carried the fragrant scent of a recent bath.

She had barged into Gu Zhichou’s heart with such reckless abandon.

Knowing she had likely overstepped, Gu Zhichou tentatively extended her tongue.

Gu Zhichou’s eyes curved slightly as she pulled Shi Mi closer, pressing her against the door.

She lowered her head, their kiss deepening into a tender embrace.

As expected, the bullet comments vanished.

Noticing Gu Zhichou’s distraction, Shi Mi narrowed her eyes and bit the tip of her tongue.

Gu Zhichou groaned softly in pain.

She pinched Shi Mi’s cheek and tugged, but didn’t break the kiss.

She missed Shi Mi.

Though she couldn’t say it directly, her body betrayed her true feelings.

Gu Zhichou removed Shi Mi’s raincoat, revealing only a thin tank top beneath.

After lingering on her lips for a moment, she said, “Go take a hot bath. Don’t catch a cold.”

Shi Mi tilted her head back, her eyes fixed on Gu Zhichou.

She extended a finger, pointed to herself, then circled it near her temple.

Finally, she smiled and pointed at Gu Zhichou.

“What does that mean?”

Shi Mi traced words on Gu Zhichou’s back, her fingertips brushing against the small of her waist.

Gu Zhichou let out a soft moan.

I miss you

Gu Zhichou chuckled and pinched Shi Mi’s cheek playfully. “Who else could you possibly miss besides me?” she teased.

“Now go take a bath, sweetheart.”

Shi Mi nodded, glancing longingly at the camera in Gu Zhichou’s hand.

Gu Zhichou waved her off. “Don’t worry, I won’t show these to anyone.”

She wanted to keep them for herself, to secretly cherish.

After all, these photos would disappear when the scene changed again.

Gu Zhichou couldn’t capture Shi Mi’s essence permanently, so she remained unaware of this.

The photos Shi Mi had taken were ones she could keep.

Gu Zhichou rolled around on the bed, camera in hand, thoroughly enjoying herself.

No wonder Shi Mi wanted to photograph me earlier, she thought. Not only am I beautiful, but I also look great in photos!

As Gu Zhichou moved away from Shi Mi, bullet comments immediately began to flood the screen:

If you’re itchy, take a shower. Why are you rolling around like that?

I wasn’t even this excited when I won the lottery…

Is someone in the bathroom? Zhizhi has a secret lover?

Gu Zhichou huffed softly, clutching the camera protectively as if afraid someone would snatch it away.

If Shi Mi loves photography so much, she thought, I’ll buy her the best camera as a gift.

Her phoenix eyes sparkled like mountain wildflowers, brimming with countless surprises and dreams.

Lan Hui knocked on the door from outside. “Young Miss, I’ve brought your clothes and…”

Before she could finish, Gu Zhichou had already flung the door open, swiftly taking the custom-made cake from Lan Hui’s hands. “Thank you, Aunt Lan,” she said, closing the door behind her.

Lan Hui shook her head. “This child… why has she become so restless lately? She used to be so quiet and reserved.”

Still, she couldn’t deny that the change wasn’t necessarily a bad thing.

Gu Zhichou placed the cake on the table, sneaking a peek inside before closing it with satisfaction. Then she sat on the edge of the bed, patiently waiting for her lamb to take the bait.

Shi Mi only realized she’d forgotten her clothes after finishing her shower. But she couldn’t speak to ask for them.

So she could only push the door open a crack and peek her head out.

Her watery eyes looked utterly pitiful.

But Gu Zhichou sat there as if oblivious, twirling her long hair and gazing at Shi Mi.

“Little Mute, what’s wrong?”

Shi Mi’s expression was faintly resentful, making it clear she knew Gu Zhichou had deliberately set this up.

But there was no turning back now. Since she’d already taken the bait, she might as well drag Gu Zhichou down with her.

Gu Zhichou glanced at the bullet comments, thinking she’d have to clear them again.

She walked over and kissed Shi Mi lightly on the forehead.

Smiling, she said, “I have no idea where your clothes are. Why don’t you come out and look for them?”
