Zhong Li picked up a piece of fritter, took a bite, and looked at Gu Nanxi with her chin resting on one hand: "We should eat at ho from now on; you attract too much attention."
"Hmm, I think so too. Next ti I’ll have Assistant Cai buy and deliver it to our ho."
Gu Nanxi picked up a spoon, scooped so sugar into the soybean milk bowl, and stirred it evenly. Zhong Li pushed the bowl in front of him: "I want so too."
He had never seen Zhong Li like this before, so jealous and a bit girlish. Luckily, he managed to win her over.
Gu Nanxi scooped a spoonful of sugar into Zhong Li’s bowl, his lips curling slightly: "I wish you would stick to every day."
"What?" Zhong Li was a bit puzzled by his inexplicable words.
"I want to spend 24 hours a day with you."
"Wouldn’t you get tired of that?"
"No," Gu Nanxi said confidently, his deep eyes seemingly filled with stars.
The two won at the nearby table overheard their conversation and couldn’t help but envy Zhong Li. Having a boyfriend like that must be a constantly blissful experience.
After breakfast, Gu Nanxi drove Zhong Li to work. The Maybach quickly stopped at the company entrance. After Zhong Li got out, she reminded him to drive carefully before heading towards the lobby.
After returning to the company, Gu Nanxi went to a eting. Following a eting that lasted nearly two hours, he walked out of the conference room with one hand in his pocket, while Assistant Cai was reporting today’s schedule to him.
"President Gu, there’s a Miss Gu downstairs who says she wants to see you."
The secretary respectfully inford Gu Nanxi. She had received a call from the reception over an hour ago but didn’t dare interrupt because Gu Nanxi was in a eting.
Gu Nanxi lifted his head, exuding a formidable presence that kept people at a distance: "Send her up."
"Alright, President Gu."
After giving Assistant Cai a few more instructions, Gu Nanxi strode into his office.
A few minutes later, Gu Hanjun erged from the elevator and lightly knocked on the office door. When she heard a response from inside, she pushed the door open and went in.
Gu Nanxi closed the file he was holding and looked up at her: "Is there sothing you need from ?"
Gu Hanjun nodded, sitting down opposite Gu Nanxi with her hands nervously twisting together on her lap: "Marry ."
Gu Hanjun had mustered a lot of courage to co over, and her heart was now in her throat.
Gu Nanxi gently tapped the tabletop with his fingertips, the aning in his deep black eyes unclear. After a long pause, he spoke: "Your mother’s idea?"
"No, I personally like you and want to be with you."
Gu Nanxi picked up a pack of cigarettes from his desk, extracted one, and lit it while tilting his head: "Tell your real motive."
Gu Hanjun has liked him for a long ti. When he was without a girlfriend, she never confessed, yet now she’s here saying she wants to be with him. Gu Nanxi doesn’t believe it could be as simple as she claims.
Recently, Gu Nanxi had soone investigate the elevator malfunction and discovered it wasn’t an accident; it was deliberate.
The only people who knew about his claustrophobia, aside from his biological parents, were Lin Yi—his father’s current wife and Gu Hanjun’s mother.
Lin Yi was previously Gu Haoyuan’s (Gu Nanxi’s father) assistant, clever and efficient, undeniably skilled in the business world.
