The Scheming Billionaire's Heartfelt Devotion-Chapter 809 - 824: Marry Me

Zhong Li picked up a piece of fritter, took a bite, and looked at Gu Nanxi with her chin resting on one hand: "We should eat at home from now on; you attract too much attention."

"Hmm, I think so too. Next time I’ll have Assistant Cai buy and deliver it to our home."

Gu Nanxi picked up a spoon, scooped some sugar into the soybean milk bowl, and stirred it evenly. Zhong Li pushed the bowl in front of him: "I want some too."

He had never seen Zhong Li like this before, so jealous and a bit girlish. Luckily, he managed to win her over.

Gu Nanxi scooped a spoonful of sugar into Zhong Li’s bowl, his lips curling slightly: "I wish you would stick to me every day."

"What?" Zhong Li was a bit puzzled by his inexplicable words.

"I want to spend 24 hours a day with you."

"Wouldn’t you get tired of that?"

"No," Gu Nanxi said confidently, his deep eyes seemingly filled with stars. 𝕗𝐫𝐞𝕖𝕨𝐞𝗯𝚗𝕠𝘃𝐞𝚕.𝐜𝗼𝚖

The two women at the nearby table overheard their conversation and couldn’t help but envy Zhong Li. Having a boyfriend like that must be a constantly blissful experience.

After breakfast, Gu Nanxi drove Zhong Li to work. The Maybach quickly stopped at the company entrance. After Zhong Li got out, she reminded him to drive carefully before heading towards the lobby.

After returning to the company, Gu Nanxi went to a meeting. Following a meeting that lasted nearly two hours, he walked out of the conference room with one hand in his pocket, while Assistant Cai was reporting today’s schedule to him.

"President Gu, there’s a Miss Gu downstairs who says she wants to see you."

The secretary respectfully informed Gu Nanxi. She had received a call from the reception over an hour ago but didn’t dare interrupt because Gu Nanxi was in a meeting.

Gu Nanxi lifted his head, exuding a formidable presence that kept people at a distance: "Send her up."

"Alright, President Gu."

After giving Assistant Cai a few more instructions, Gu Nanxi strode into his office.

A few minutes later, Gu Hanjun emerged from the elevator and lightly knocked on the office door. When she heard a response from inside, she pushed the door open and went in.

Gu Nanxi closed the file he was holding and looked up at her: "Is there something you need from me?"

Gu Hanjun nodded, sitting down opposite Gu Nanxi with her hands nervously twisting together on her lap: "Marry me."

Gu Hanjun had mustered a lot of courage to come over, and her heart was now in her throat.

Gu Nanxi gently tapped the tabletop with his fingertips, the meaning in his deep black eyes unclear. After a long pause, he spoke: "Your mother’s idea?"

"No, I personally like you and want to be with you."

Gu Nanxi picked up a pack of cigarettes from his desk, extracted one, and lit it while tilting his head: "Tell me your real motive."

Gu Hanjun has liked him for a long time. When he was without a girlfriend, she never confessed, yet now she’s here saying she wants to be with him. Gu Nanxi doesn’t believe it could be as simple as she claims.

Recently, Gu Nanxi had someone investigate the elevator malfunction and discovered it wasn’t an accident; it was deliberate.

The only people who knew about his claustrophobia, aside from his biological parents, were Lin Yi—his father’s current wife and Gu Hanjun’s mother.

Lin Yi was previously Gu Haoyuan’s (Gu Nanxi’s father) assistant, clever and efficient, undeniably skilled in the business world.
