The Scheming Billionaire's Heartfelt Devotion-Chapter 769 - 784: He was just close to you, why didn’t he push away?

Assistant Wang walked in with a fawning smile, bent over to take the documents out from the desk drawer, and handed them to Qi Shangyu: "President Qi, here is the contract you wanted."

Qi Shangyu took the contract and gave Assistant Wang a look of unclear intent before leaving.

Assistant Wang was almost starving, having cleaned until now without eating a bite. He looked at Zhong Li lying on the table, sighed innocently, and then went out to get some food.

Zhong Li woke up after a short nap. She rubbed her shoulders and sat up. As she straightened, the suit jacket fell to the ground; Zhong Li bent down to pick it up, staring dazedly at the jacket in her hands.

"President Qi personally draped that over you just now; isn’t that a bit exciting?"

Assistant Wang pushed the door open and walked in from outside, saying with a smile.

Zhong Li placed the jacket on the table: "Did President Qi come to the office just now?"

"Yeah, he came to take some documents, saw you asleep, and covered you with his jacket. But that’s not the main point; the main point is the deeply affectionate look he gave you—it’s true love, no doubt."

No matter how she listened, Zhong Li felt he was spouting nonsense.

"Alright, I’ll go return the jacket to President Qi first."

Zhong Li stood up from her chair, took the jacket, and headed to the CEO’s office. Just as she was about to knock, Qi Shangyu came out: "President Qi, thank you for your jacket."

Qi Shangyu took the suit from Zhong Li’s hands: "Notify everyone there will be overtime tonight. I want to see the specific proposal from the development case discussed this morning."

"Okay, President Qi, I’ll inform everyone now." With that, Zhong Li left in her high heels.

After work in the evening, Gu Nanxi went to the mall and bought a lot of vegetables and seafood, planning to make a sumptuous dinner at Zhong Li’s place.

Exiting the elevator, he carried the big bag of ingredients and pressed Zhong Li’s doorbell, but there was no response for quite a while.

He frowned, took out his phone from his pants pocket, and dialed Zhong Li’s number, still no answer.

Gu Nanxi returned to his apartment, put the bag in the kitchen, and went out again.

The car quickly stopped in front of Zhong Li’s company; he got out and took the elevator straight to the CEO’s office.

Seeing the lights in the meeting room still on, Gu Nanxi strode over and pushed the door open, just in time to see Qi Shangyu with one hand on the back of Zhong Li’s chair, the other hand on the table, leaning very close to Zhong Li.

Gu Nanxi’s face darkened as he walked over and rudely removed Qi Shangyu’s hand.

"Why are you here?" Zhong Li looked at Gu Nanxi, somewhat surprised.

"I saw you weren’t home, called but got no answer, so I came to check on you."

Assistant Wang sat quietly in the chair nearby, waiting to watch the good show unfold. If only he had sunflower seeds to snack on while watching the drama of the year, how delightful it would be.

All the executives were in the conference room; Zhong Li awkwardly pulled Gu Nanxi’s hand and walked out: "I’m working overtime; please don’t always come to our company."

This morning, Assistant Wang had misunderstood; Zhong Li didn’t want the whole company thinking there was something between her and Gu Nanxi.

"He was very close to you just now, why didn’t you push him away?"

Gu Nanxi directly pinned Zhong Li against the wall, his dark face expressing displeasure.

Zhong Li frowned, wanting to push him away, but her raised hand was restrained above her head by Gu Nanxi: "I’m very angry."
