The Scheming Billionaire's Heartfelt Devotion-Chapter 803 - 818: You’re My Boss—How Could I Possibly Dislike You?

Zhong Li nodded, got up from the sofa, and went to the bedroom.

After changing clothes, the two of them left the house together and got in the elevator. Gu Nanxi, still uneasy, reminded again, "Remember to keep your distance from Qi Shangyu."

"I know, how many times do you need to say it? You’re being petty."

Zhong Li smiled and tipped her head back, lightly pinching his chin with her fingertips.

Gu Nanxi’s deep-set eyes met Zhong Li’s smiling gaze, and the next second he leaned down to kiss the corner of her mouth.

When the elevator doors opened, Gu Nanxi reluctantly released her lips and walked out, holding Zhong Li’s hand.

.......

The car quickly stopped at the company entrance. Before Zhong Li got out, she told Gu Nanxi there was no need to wait for her to finish work. At this hour, who knows how long she’ll be busy.

Gu Nanxi nodded, watching Zhong Li get out of the car and enter the company before driving away.

Zhong Li came out of the elevator and went straight back to her office. As she opened the door, she saw Qi Shangyu sitting in Assistant Wang’s seat.

"President Qi, what brings you here?"

Zhong Li walked to her desk, asking with a shallow smile.

Qi Shangyu pretended to be looking for something, bending down to rummage through the papers on the desk. "I just called Assistant Wang and didn’t get an answer, so I came to find a file."

"Which file are you looking for? I should know where it is."

Qi Shangyu casually picked up a file from the desk. "Found it... You wouldn’t dislike me just because of my mother, would you?"

Zhong Li looked up at Qi Shangyu, a faint smile on her lips. "Of course not. You’re my boss, how could I dislike you?"

The seemingly joking words subtly distanced their relationship.

There was no way Qi Shangyu didn’t pick up on what Zhong Li meant. He stood up from the chair and said, "Well, I’ll let you get back to work."

"Okay, President Qi."

Not long after Qi Shangyu left the office, Assistant Wang pushed the door open and walked in.

Hearing the sound, Zhong Li looked up. "Where have you been? Didn’t you say there was an urgent document?"

Qi Shangyu waited here on purpose for Zhong Li. Would he dare come in?

Assistant Wang walked over to his desk, grinning, and handed Zhong Li an arbitrary file. "President Qi suddenly said he needed this urgently. I’ve still got a lot of work to finish, so I had to bother you."

Zhong Li took the file and casually flipped through it. "Are you sure this document is urgently needed?"

"Positive. Who knows what kind of mood President Qi is in, but if he says it’s urgent, then it’s urgent."

Assistant Wang felt truly exhausted, having to not only manage the workload but also make up stories for the boss. It was like being a jack-of-all-trades.

Zhong Li noted Assistant Wang’s serious expression and didn’t think much of it, bowing her head to start working.

"President Gu treats you really well, even cooks for you himself!"

Zhong Li knew that after this guy found out about their relationship, he’d definitely bring it up from time to time. She didn’t look up and replied casually, "Yeah, it’s pretty good."

Assistant Wang leaned on Zhong Li’s desk. "Now that you’re with President Gu, what’s going to happen with our President Qi? Don’t tell me you don’t know he likes you too."

Zhong Li raised her head, giving Assistant Wang a disdainful look. "Weren’t you just saying you’re overwhelmed with work? How do you still have the energy to gossip?"

"Ugh, if you don’t want to talk, don’t. Why the attitude?"

Assistant Wang puckered his lips, straightened up, and returned to his seat.

......

By the time Zhong Li and Assistant Wang finished work, it was already past eight o’clock. Several times, Assistant Wang almost couldn’t keep up, thinking he might as well just head straight home.
