The Scheming Billionaire's Heartfelt Devotion-Chapter 793 - 808: Not a Bit of Apprehension?

"Are you okay? Are you hurt?"

Gu Nanxi took off his coat and draped it over Zhong Li, seeing the slightly reddened rims of her eyes, his heart ached as if pierced by countless needles.

Zhong Li clutched the clothes tightly; if Gu Nanxi hadn’t appeared in time, she might have been in trouble already.

"I brought the clothes for you, quickly put them on." Xia Mo pushed the door open and looked at Zhong Li in surprise: "What happened to you? Weren’t you fine just now?"

Zhong Li’s scrutinizing gaze fell on Xia Mo: "Why did you take so long?"

"I just took a call, so I got delayed, really sorry." Xia Mo explained innocently.

Zhong Li felt that something very strange had happened; how could that man dare to brazenly intrude into the women’s restroom without any fear?

The man earlier, seeing the situation was unfavorable, had already slipped away quietly.

Gu Nanxi took out his phone from his trouser pocket, called his assistant, and told him to close all the exits of the banquet hall, allowing no one to leave.

After hanging up the call, he supported Zhong Li up to a guest room upstairs, above the banquet hall was the hotel.

The two of them entered the room, Zhong Li clutched her torn gown and sat on the sofa, still shaken.

Gu Nanxi poured a glass of water and handed it to Zhong Li: "Drink some water first, my assistant will send over the clothes shortly."

Zhong Li nodded: "Thank you for saving me just now."

"Tell me what exactly happened?"

Gu Nanxi remembered Xia Mo; she was the woman who dined with Qi Shangyu in the restaurant last time. He thought things weren’t that simple.

Zhong Li placed the water glass on the coffee table, looked up at Gu Nanxi, and recounted the whole incident to him.

Now Gu Nanxi was even more certain that someone was trying to set Zhong Li up deliberately.

The door of the room was suddenly knocked. Gu Nanxi stood up from the sofa, walked over, and opened the door.

Assistant Cai nodded at Gu Nanxi and handed him the clothes in his hand: "All exits of the hall are sealed now, not even a fly can escape."

"Good, wait for me in the hall."

Gu Nanxi took the clothes from Assistant Cai, closed the door, turned around, and walked to Zhong Li: "Go change into these clothes first."

Zhong Li took the clothes to the bedroom, and after changing, she washed her face in the bathroom before coming out.

The door of the room was knocked again, Zhong Li walked over and opened it; the woman who had accompanied Gu Nanxi to the banquet earlier was smiling faintly at Zhong Li: "I’m looking for..."

"He’s inside."

Before the woman could finish, Zhong Li spoke up.

The woman nodded to Zhong Li, was about to enter when she saw Gu Nanxi stride out: "Why are you here?"

"I just asked Assistant Cai, he said you were here, so I came over."

Gu Nanxi said no more, he walked to Zhong Li’s side, his voice was now gentle: "I will arrange for someone to take you home."

"No need, I can go back by myself."

Having said that, Zhong Li walked towards the elevator in high heels, and Gu Nanxi rubbed his brow with his hand, following her.

When the three of them came out of the elevator, people in the hall still didn’t know what had happened, continuing their conversations and laughing.

Qi Shangyu saw Zhong Li and Gu Nanxi together, and noticed her changed clothes, his brows furrowed involuntarily.
