The Scheming Billionaire's Heartfelt Devotion-Chapter 805 - 820: And You Really Thought You Were So Clever

"Are you trying to show off to me?" Xia Mo’s sinister face was filled with jealousy.

Zhong Li sneered indifferently, "You can think of it that way. After all, the man I dislike, you’ve treated like a treasure, desperately wanting to win him over."

"You..."

Xia Mo glared fiercely at Zhong Li, as if trying to bore a hole through her with her stare.

"Stop glaring, or your eyeballs might fall out."

Xia Mo closed her eyes and took a long breath, her voice turning sharp, "Zhong Li, I really underestimated you."

"You’re too kind. I was just performing normally."

Zhong Li was never one to take bullying lying down. Seeing Xia Mo’s face turn livid with anger gave her immense satisfaction.

"Zhong Li, this isn’t over. You better watch out when you walk home at night."

"If anything happens to me, I’ll make sure to tell Qi Shangyu all about your scheme against me. Then your image will completely crumble."

Xia Mo pointed angrily at Zhong Li, "What makes you think he’d believe your one-sided story?"

Zhong Li took out her phone from her pocket, her eyes cold as she waved it, "Because I recorded it. Your little tricks might work on naive people, but you really think you’re so smart."

After saying this, Zhong Li didn’t give Xia Mo a chance to respond and walked away in her high heels.

Xia Mo stood there, stunned for a long time. She had really underestimated Zhong Li, not realizing what a formidable opponent she was.

Now Xia Mo felt a surge of frustration, trapped in her chest, unable to rise or fall. With Zhong Li holding evidence against her, dealing with her in the future would be tough.

When Zhong Li returned to the restaurant, Gu Nanxi was just about to look for her. Given the dangerous situation earlier that day, he was a bit worried since she had been away for so long.

"Why did you take so long to come back?"

Zhong Li pulled out a chair and sat down at the dining table, "I ran into a friend and we chatted for a bit. Let’s eat quickly, I’m starving."

Hearing this, Gu Nanxi felt relieved and picked up his chopsticks, placing some grilled meat onto Zhong Li’s plate.

After the two finished eating, they went home. Perhaps due to exhaustion, Zhong Li fell asleep leaning against the passenger seat.

After parking the car downstairs, Gu Nanxi got out, walked around to the passenger side, and opened the door. Just as he was about to lean in to carry Zhong Li, she woke up.

"We’re home?" Zhong Li’s voice was clean and pure, with a hint of hoarseness from just waking up.

"Yes, get out quickly."

Zhong Li raised her hand to hold Gu Nanxi’s extended palm, smiling lightly as she stepped out of the car, "I ate so much just now, I’m sure I’ve gained some weight."

"I don’t mind, being a little chubby is fine."

"You’ll have opinions when I really get fat. So ugly."

"If you don’t believe me, just gain weight and see. I’ll guarantee I’ll love it."

As they were talking, they stepped out of the elevator and spotted Gu Hanjun standing in the hallway.

Hearing the sound, Gu Hanjun turned slightly, his eyes falling on their clasped hands, "Assistant Cai hasn’t found Auntie yet. I’ve been staying alone there and I’m scared. Can I stay with you temporarily?"

Zhong Li stood quietly beside Gu Nanxi, waiting for him to speak.

"It’s inconvenient for you to stay with me. I’ll have Assistant Cai find you a hotel."

Gu Hanjun pursed his lips, his hands clenched tightly behind him, "You’re my brother, what’s so inconvenient about it?"
