The Scheming Billionaire's Heartfelt Devotion-Chapter 772 - 787 Are you afraid of being misunderstood by Qi Shangyu?

"Mm." Zhong Li responded absentmindedly.

The street was almost empty now. Zhong Li turned slightly to look outside, the warm orange streetlight softly illuminating her, her hair, falling along her shoulder blades, blowing in the wind.

The car soon stopped in the neighborhood, and both of them got out of the car. While waiting for the elevator, a plump auntie nearby looked at Zhong Li with a beaming smile, "Girl, is this your boyfriend?"

"No, we just live across the hall from each other." Zhong Li smiled in response.

"I also live in this building. I’ve seen you several times. How come such a beautiful girl is still single? Next time, if there’s a chance, Auntie will introduce you to a boyfriend."

She genuinely thought Zhong Li was nice, with her good looks and great figure, exuding a gentle and graceful aura.

Next to them, Gu Nanxi looked at the plump woman with a dark expression, "You’re meddling too much. She doesn’t need you to introduce a boyfriend for her."

The plump woman didn’t have time to respond before the elevator doors opened. She stepped inside, looking at Gu Nanxi with displeasure, "How are you speaking, young man? I’m just being nice. The girl hasn’t even said anything, why are you joining the fuss? Between us, who’s actually meddling in someone else’s business?"

"Didn’t you see her getting out of my car?"

"So she got out of your car, big deal. Don’t you live across from each other? What’s wrong with catching a ride?"

The plump auntie, filled with anger, put her hands on her hips, ready to quarrel with Gu Nanxi.

Imagining a president arguing with an older aunt, the scene was indeed quite unprecedented.

"Auntie, I’m leaving now." The elevator doors had already opened. Zhong Li said with a smile and walked out in her high heels.

The plump woman, retracting her confrontational demeanor, nodded with a smile, "I’ll definitely introduce you to a boyfriend next time."

Gu Nanxi also walked out of the elevator, one hand in his pocket, his face as dark as coal.

After the elevator doors closed again, Zhong Li walked to her door, took out her keys from her bag, and entered. Both of them changed into slippers at the entrance, and Zhong Li went to the kitchen.

"Why didn’t you refuse just now?" Gu Nanxi leaned against the kitchen door frame, asking unhappily.

Zhong Li tied an apron around her and took tomatoes and vegetables out of the fridge, "I leave early and come back late every day. Who knows when I’ll meet that aunt again, she might have forgotten by then."

"You should have refused anyway. What’s with introducing a boyfriend? I think that plump woman is just crazy."

Zhong Li put the washed vegetables on the cutting board, turned around, and looked at Gu Nanxi, "I’ve told you everything I needed to say. Also, don’t come to my office anymore. If my colleagues see, it’ll cause misunderstandings."

"Are you afraid Qi Shangyu will misunderstand?"

"Think whatever you want, but just stop coming to my company." 𝒇𝓻𝓮𝓮𝙬𝙚𝒃𝒏𝓸𝙫𝒆𝙡.𝓬𝓸𝒎

Zhong Li simply stopped explaining. There wasn’t anything she planned to pursue with him anyway.

Gu Nanxi didn’t say anything else, just quietly leaned against the kitchen door frame watching Zhong Li make noodles for herself.

In about ten minutes, the noodles were ready. Zhong Li carried a bowl to the dining room, "Finish eating and then head back. I’m going to sleep first."

It was already past eleven, and Zhong Li was really tired and sleepy.

"I got it. You go rest." Gu Nanxi sat down at the dining table, a smile forming at the corner of his mouth as he looked at the noodles in the bowl.
