The Scheming Billionaire's Heartfelt Devotion-Chapter 792 - 807: Assistant Wang is now laughing... particularly punchably.
Not far away, on the sofa, Assistant Wang was watching intently, almost ready to applaud. This banquet was finally worth attending. If only there were some sunflower seeds, it would be perfect, munching while watching the drama unfold.
No one noticed a pair of eyes in the corner of the hall, eyes that seemed poisoned, staring at Zhong Li.
After finishing a dance, Zhong Li told Qi Shangyu that she was a bit tired and left early. 𝗳𝐫𝚎𝗲𝚠𝚎𝗯𝕟𝐨𝘃𝚎𝗹.𝗰𝗼𝗺
She asked a waiter for a glass of red wine and sat down next to Assistant Wang in high heels, "Why are you looking at me like that?"
"Just now you four seemed rather exciting. Is that woman trying to steal President Gu from you?"
Assistant Wang was smiling... looking particularly mischievous.
Zhong Li brought the wine glass to her lips and took a sip of the red wine, "I don’t recall ever saying Gu Nanxi was mine, did I?"
"But you were just jealous," Assistant Wang stated confidently.
Zhong Li leaned over to place the wine glass on the table, "I’m going to the restroom."
"Trying to escape because I hit the nail on the head?" Assistant Wang called out as Zhong Li walked away.
Pretending not to hear, Zhong Li continued walking forward. She had really been jealous just now. Seeing Gu Nanxi with another woman made her feel upset.
When she reached the restroom, Zhong Li turned on the faucet to wash her hands. She was distracted when the hem of her dress was suddenly tugged, causing a ripping sound, and she almost fell over, luckily grabbing onto the sink in time.
"Sorry, it was not on purpose."
Xia Mo looked at Zhong Li with extreme apologies. Her high heel had stepped on Zhong Li’s dress, and somehow it had torn.
Zhong Li looked at the damaged dress, "Could you please help me find something to wear?"
She had left her phone on the sofa and couldn’t step out in her current state, so she could only ask Xia Mo for help.
"Sure, wait here for a moment. I’ll be right back."
Zhong Li nodded, clutching the torn dress against the wall.
The moment Xia Mo closed the restroom door, a sly smile appeared on her lips.
Zhong Li waited inside for more than ten minutes, growing anxious when the restroom door opened. She thought it was that woman bringing clothes, but it was a man who entered.
"Hey, you’ve walked into the wrong place; this is the women’s restroom."
Zhong Li felt a growing sense of unease as she noticed the sinister look in the man’s eyes.
The man smiled and walked toward Zhong Li, "I must be really lucky today. How about we find a quiet place to have a drink?"
Zhong Li panicked and stepped back a few paces, "You’d better leave right now; my friend will be here any moment."
The man, undeterred, grabbed Zhong Li and leaned down to whisper in her ear, "It’s just a drink; what are you afraid of?"
Zhong Li glared at him in disgust and slapped him hard across the face.
"Don’t you dare refuse my offer and pretend to be unreachable, you bitch."
The man viciously pinned Zhong Li against the sink, raising his hand to tear at her dress.
Zhong Li struggled desperately with both hands, loudly shouting "Help" in her panic.
Just having stepped out of the restroom, Gu Nanxi heard Zhong Li’s voice and, without thinking, rushed in. Seeing the scene before him, he furiously kicked the man to the ground and then embraced Zhong Li protectively.
