The Scheming Billionaire's Heartfelt Devotion-Chapter 776 - 791: You’re still protecting it?

Zhong Li handed the menu to the waiter after ordering the dishes, smiled at the man across from her, but didn’t know what to say.

Gu Nanxi walked over with a gloomy face, having just seen that faint smile from Zhong Li, and was now almost furious.

"What are you doing here?" Zhong Li looked at Gu Nanxi, surprised, as he stood next to her.

Gu Nanxi glanced at Zhong Li, didn’t answer her question, but instead turned his gaze to the man: "If you don’t want a beating, leave here immediately."

"This restaurant isn’t yours. I’m having a perfectly fine dinner date here, how is it any of your business?"

(Author’s monologue: Really, no survival instinct at all, can’t you see this is his woman? You’ve got some nerve using the word ’date’. I’ll just sit back and watch how you get yourself into trouble.)

A fierce light flashed in Gu Nanxi’s dark eyes, and he directly grabbed the man’s collar, landing a fierce punch: "Try saying you’re on a date with her again and see what happens."

"Are you nuts? She willingly came on a da... meal with me."

The man’s word "date" was forcibly changed to "meal" before he could finish it.

Zhong Li frowned and grabbed Gu Nanxi’s hand that was about to rise again: "Are you out of your mind? Who I have dinner with is none of your concern, right?"

"You’re still defending him?"

Gu Nanxi was definitely driven to jealousy by Zhong Li’s smile earlier, unable to think rationally now.

"Can’t you be reasonable? You were the one who started the fight."

Gu Nanxi didn’t want to argue with Zhong Li, so he directed all his anger at the man: "Do you choose to stay and get beaten up, or leave immediately?"

The overwhelming aura of power exuded by Gu Nanxi indeed made people fearful. Having just taken a punch, even if he had some feelings for Zhong Li, the man didn’t dare stay longer and left.

Everyone in the restaurant was looking their way. Feeling utterly embarrassed, Zhong Li grabbed her bag and left in anger.

Gu Nanxi followed her closely out of the restaurant, reaching out to grab Zhong Li’s wrist: "Don’t be mad, let me accompany you to eat."

"No, I’m already fed up with anger, I want to go home and sleep now." After speaking, Zhong Li turned to look at him: "How did you know I was here?"

"A psychic connection."

Gu Nanxi certainly couldn’t admit it was Han Xi who told him, otherwise, it would be impossible to ask Han Xi for information in the future if something like this happened again. 𝚏𝗿𝗲𝐞𝐰𝚎𝕓𝐧𝚘𝘃𝗲𝐥.𝐜𝚘𝕞

"Gu Nanxi, are you stalking me?" Zhong Li glared at him, furious.

"No, okay, don’t be angry, I’ll accompany you home."

"No need." Zhong Li forcefully freed her hand from his grip, stepped to the roadside in her heels, and left in a cab.

Gu Nanxi lifted a hand to pinch the bridge of his nose and hurriedly drove to follow that taxi.

Back home, Zhong Li took a shower in the bathroom and lay down on the bed, suddenly feeling very hungry as she hadn’t eaten breakfast or lunch. Just as she was about to get up and make something in the kitchen, the doorbell rang.

Zhong Li sat up from the bed, put on her slippers, walked to the door, and looked through the peephole: "What do you want?"

"I made a bowl of noodles for you, hurry up and open the door."

Gu Nanxi was worried she might be hungry since she didn’t eat lunch, so he went home to cook for her.

Although Zhong Li was very angry now, she still opened the door for the sake of the bowl of noodles: "Just give me the noodles."

"I haven’t eaten either, let’s eat together."
