Chapter 1606: Chapter 1606: He Is My Boss, and Also My Boyfriend

Gu Ziyou didn’t understand why Li Chaoxi got out of the car and took off his mask, risking so much.

If someone happened to pass by at that moment, wouldn’t they immediately recognize him?

Yet deep down, she was a bit grateful to him.

She didn’t want to lose hope in him, naively hoping to use this method to push him once more.

She was so unwilling, thinking he wouldn’t care so little about her.

Gu Ziyou paused before speaking, "This is Li Chaoxi. This is Shen Lingfeng, he’s... my boss."

She didn’t explain who Li Chaoxi was, just hoped he would ask, so she could clarify everything clearly as long as he did.

And for Shen Lingfeng, she admitted she intentionally introduced him as her boss.

"Boss?" Li Chaoxi questioned.

Gu Ziyou felt as if the air chilled several degrees, and her body, close against Shen Lingfeng, tensed as well.

But she quickly added, "Well, he’s also my boyfriend."

Li Chaoxi wasn’t surprised at all; he just smiled faintly and said, "Thank you for taking care of her during this period, otherwise, I’d be worried about her alone in Hai City."

Although his voice was calm, the provocation between rivals in love was evident to Shen Lingfeng.

Li Chaoxi knew this, and he knew that’s exactly what Shen Lingfeng would think.

More importantly, he was certain he wanted to do this.

"Youyou, won’t you invite me up? My jacket from last time is still with you, when will you return it to me?"

Shen Lingfeng remained silent, and Gu Ziyou didn’t dare to look up.

But this silence felt like a knife to her.

Each moment slicing her, she couldn’t bear it; it felt like a voice in her heart was screaming for her to ask him clearly.

But that would be so pathetic; she felt like a resentful woman.

Like a supporting female character in dramas who is not favored by the male lead, hysterically searching for his attention, it looked so unsightly from the outside.

Gu Ziyou couldn’t find her voice; she just realized at this moment that some things in dramas were not exaggerated.

Because the feeling of having to pretend to be calm and let go weighed heavily in her heart, truly difficult.

"Next time," she spoke with a strained tone.

She had given up on using Li Chaoxi as a sword intended to provoke him.

Such things were so pointless.

He was right; why should she wrong herself like this? 𝑓𝑟𝑒𝘦𝓌𝑒𝑏𝑛𝑜𝘷𝑒𝘭.𝒸𝘰𝑚

"Alright." Rejected, Li Chaoxi showed no particular reaction, nodded, and said, "Then take a rest early, and don’t forget what we agreed on. I’ll pick you up after work tomorrow."

Gu Ziyou felt completely numb inside.

Shen Lingfeng’s gaze was cold as he observed the man brazenly making plans with Gu Ziyou in front of him, just about to speak when he caught a glimpse of Youyou nodding.

His heart jolted.

It turned out he didn’t say it intentionally; they really had agreed on it.

Without Gu Ziyou’s permission, how could he act so overtly?

Since he was so obvious, and she didn’t bother to clarify, that gesture was too clear.

This period wasn’t his illusion; Gu Ziyou, who used to fear even the slightest misunderstanding, had changed.

His initial suspicion was correct; it was indeed just a fleeting passion.

She quickly lost her initial fervor and returned to where they started.

"I’m leaving, goodbye." Li Chaoxi didn’t pause, waved lightly at Gu Ziyou, smiled softly, and got back in the car.

Driving away, the man gripping the steering wheel deepened his gaze.

Would she blame him?

But if in such a situation that man still showed no reaction, Youyou should probably give up on him too.
