The Scheming Billionaire's Heartfelt Devotion-Chapter 778 - 793: If you want to meet Zhong Li, just say so

"No way, what are you doing? If it’s that urgent, why not go to the company to get it?"

Gu Nanxi looked outside with one hand in his pocket. Delivering documents to a home, Qi Shangyu could come up with such a lame excuse.

"But... it’s an order from our President Qi," Assistant Wang said weakly.

Gu Nanxi ignored him and directly hung up the phone.

Assistant Wang looked at the phone that had been disconnected, his innocent expression clear—being bothered on a perfectly good weekend.

Still, their President Qi is something else; if he wants to see Zhong Li, he should just say so. Why resort to such childish excuses? Even someone with his level of intelligence can see through it, let alone Gu Nanxi.

........

When Zhong Li woke up, it was already around four in the afternoon. She sat up in bed, tied her messy hair casually, and went out.

After pouring herself a glass of water in the dining room, she walked into the living room and saw Gu Nanxi asleep on the sofa.

Gu Nanxi had very attractive features, a straight nose bridge, thick eyebrows, and slightly sensuous lips. Even asleep with his eyes closed, he was captivating.

Zhong Li put down the glass of water, went to the bedroom to fetch a blanket, and covered him.

Perhaps sensing movement, Gu Nanxi slowly opened his eyes, watching Zhong Li cover him with the blanket, a deep smile lingering at the corner of his mouth.

"Worried I might catch a cold?"

Upon hearing the voice, Zhong Li stopped covering the blanket and turned to look at him. "You’re thinking too much. Since you’re awake, hurry up and leave."

"I still want to sleep a while longer." Gu Nanxi stayed on the sofa without any intention of getting up.

"Go sleep at your own home, hurry up and leave."

"I don’t want to leave; I’ll lie here a bit more. What do you want to eat tonight?"

Zhong Li ignored him, sat on the nearby sofa, picked up her phone from the coffee table, and scrolled through Weibo.

Gu Nanxi turned over with a smile, gazing at Zhong Li sitting on the sofa, the smile at his lips growing deeper. 𝐟𝚛𝕖𝚎𝕨𝗲𝐛𝚗𝐨𝐯𝐞𝕝.𝐜𝗼𝗺

The two of them quietly stayed in the living room like that, without saying anything further.

Until Gu Nanxi’s phone rang, breaking the silence as he sat up from the sofa, retrieved his phone from his pants pocket, and walked to the floor-to-ceiling window to take the call.

The call was from his assistant, concerning work matters, and soon ended.

Gu Nanxi put his phone back in his pocket and strode over to the sofa. "There’s something I need to go out for."

"Mm," Zhong Li responded casually.

Not long after Gu Nanxi left, Zhong Li’s phone rang, displaying a string of unfamiliar numbers.

"Hello," Zhong Li politely answered first.

"I’m Qi Shangyu’s mother, currently at the café downstairs from your place. I have something to discuss with you. Come down immediately," Li Jiaxue ordered, her sharp voice commanding.

Zhong Li disliked such an attitude and didn’t feel she had anything to discuss with her. "If there’s anything to say, please say it over the phone."

"Come down and we’ll talk." With that, Li Jiaxue hung up the phone.

Listening to the busy tone, Zhong Li’s eyebrows furrowed slightly, unable to tolerate such an overbearing attitude—as though everyone must obey her whims.

Zhong Li was too lazy to entertain her, grabbed a cushion, lay back on the sofa, and turned on the TV to watch drama series.

Tens of minutes later, the phone rang again, still the same unfamiliar number, but Zhong Li directly turned off the phone.
