The Scheming Billionaire's Heartfelt Devotion-Chapter 798 - 813 What are you really mad at me for?

Gu Hanjun nodded, then followed Assistant Cai into the car.

........

Gu Nanxi stood in the hallway, pressing the doorbell for a long time before Zhong Li opened the door: "What’s the matter?"

"I’m worried about you, just came to check on you."

With that, Gu Nanxi lifted his foot to walk inside but was blocked by Zhong Li: "I’m fine. If there’s nothing else, please leave."

"What’s wrong with you? Did I do something to upset you?"

"No, I need to rest now, so you should leave." Zhong Li looked down, not meeting his eyes.

Gu Nanxi frowned and directly pulled Zhong Li into the house: "What are you mad at me for?"

"Let go of me, release your grip."

Zhong Li was firmly held by Gu Nanxi, unable to move a muscle.

"Why did you dance with Qi Shangyu at the banquet today? And his hand was on your waist."

"I wanted to, and it’s none of your business," Zhong Li turned his head, refusing to look at him.

Gu Nanxi was almost infuriated, what did she mean it’s none of his business?

The two held this deadlock for a long while before Gu Nanxi rubbed his brow and softened his tone: "Are you angry with me? If I did anything to make you unhappy, I’ll apologize."

"You’re overthinking. Why would I be angry with you? You’re not anyone special to me."

Gu Nanxi’s distinct fingers grasped Zhong Li’s chin, forcing him to look at him: "Quickly tell me why you’re upset?"

Before Zhong Li could speak, the slightly ajar door was pushed open, and Gu Hanjun stood at the door looking at them: "Give me the house key, I need to get my luggage."

Gu Nanxi released Zhong Li, strode over, and handed her the key.

Zhong Li raised his hand to rub his wrist, which had turned red from the grip, his face cold as he spoke: "Please, both of you leave; I need to rest."

"We haven’t finished talking yet?" Gu Nanxi turned toward her, showing no intention of leaving.

"I said I need to rest, didn’t you understand?" 𝘧𝓇𝑒𝑒𝑤ℯ𝑏𝓃𝘰𝑣ℯ𝘭.𝘤ℴ𝘮

Gu Hanjun took the key and left without a word.

Suddenly, the phone on the coffee table rang. Zhong Li bent over to pick it up, glanced at the name on the screen, and pressed the answer key.

"President Qi, what’s the matter?"

On the other end, Qi Shangyu had just left home and driven to Zhong Li’s apartment complex, and now he was downstairs.

He leaned against the car door, flicking cigarette ash from his fingers onto the ground: "My mom arranged for what happened at the banquet today, I’m saying sorry on her behalf, are you okay now?"

Zhong Li had a gut feeling it wasn’t just an accident, but she hadn’t expected it to be Li Jiaxue’s design, this woman was indeed ruthless. If Gu Nanxi hadn’t appeared in time, the consequences would have been unimaginable.

"I’m fine, nothing’s the matter."

Qi Shangyu exhaled a cloud of smoke from the corner of his mouth, paused, then said: "Do you want to go out and grab a bite together?"

Gu Nanxi walked over to Zhong Li’s side, unhappily took the phone from her hand, and directly hung up: "You seem to have a lot to say to him."

"Yes, there’s a lot to say."

Zhong Li looked into Gu Nanxi’s dark eyes, speaking stubbornly with words she didn’t truly mean.

Gu Nanxi cornered Zhong Li step by step to the floor-to-ceiling window, with both hands on the glass: "Could you not upset me, I’m really struggling inside."
