The Scheming Billionaire's Heartfelt Devotion-Chapter 811 - 826: Didn’t Expect Gu Nanxi to Be So Protective

Yesterday, the woman overheard the conversation between Zhong Li and Xia Mo in the restroom and sent someone to investigate Zhong Li’s boyfriend, only then she found out it was Gu Nanxi.

Gu Nanxi rested his folded hands on the table, waiting to hear what she would say next.

Seeing that Gu Nanxi had no intention to speak, Li Jiaxue continued, "President Gu, do you think you could let Zhong Li work at your company? It would help strengthen your relationship, after all."

"President Li, you might be overstepping a bit. Where my girlfriend works is entirely up to her, and I won’t interfere."

Gu Nanxi’s lips curled into a faint smile, yet his eyes remained cold.

Li Jiaxue thought that perhaps she had been too subtle and that Gu Nanxi hadn’t grasped her meaning. After some deliberation, she spoke again, "Zhong Li is so beautiful and has such grace; there must be many men who like her. I think it’s safer for President Gu to keep his girlfriend close."

Li Jiaxue didn’t mention Zhong Li trying to seduce her son, knowing well that Gu Nanxi was not someone to be trifled with, as angering him would do her no good.

Gu Nanxi shifted his position, crossing his legs and leaning back in the chair, his eyes turning sharp, "I think President Li should go home and educate her son, to let him not have unrealistic fantasies about my girlfriend."

"You..." Li Jiaxue was rendered speechless and her face turned dark.

The color in Gu Nanxi’s eyes intensified, "Am I wrong?"

Just as Li Jiaxue was at a loss for words, the waiter arrived with the dishes they had ordered earlier, setting them on the table while saying "Enjoy your meal" with a smile before leaving.

Li Jiaxue suppressed the anger on her face, then put on a conciliatory smile, "President Gu, why don’t we eat first?"

"There’s no need for the meal. Zhong Li is the woman I intend to marry someday. I hope that President Li will treat her with respect when you see her." 𝕗𝐫𝐞𝕖𝕨𝐞𝗯𝚗𝕠𝘃𝐞𝚕.𝐜𝗼𝚖

This was Gu Nanxi warning Li Jiaxue.

Li Jiaxue put down her utensils, reluctantly giving Gu Nanxi this respect, as after all, their companies were in collaboration, "Don’t worry, President Gu, I will surely take good care of Zhong Li."

"That’s good." With those words, Gu Nanxi got up from his chair and left the restaurant.

As Gu Nanxi turned around, the smile on Li Jiaxue’s face gradually faded, her nail-polished hands clenched tightly; she now felt like flipping the table.

She hadn’t expected Gu Nanxi to be so protective.

Staring at the table full of dishes, anger boiled inside Li Jiaxue, leaving her with no appetite. She picked up her handbag from the chair and left as well.

Once in the car, Li Jiaxue instructed the driver to head to the company. Since things couldn’t be sorted with Gu Nanxi, she’d have to focus on her son instead.

The car soon stopped at the company’s entrance. As Li Jiaxue walked into the lobby, she ran into Zhong Li and Assistant Wang, who were returning from lunch.

"Hello, President Li," Assistant Wang greeted respectfully.

Li Jiaxue ignored Assistant Wang as her sullen gaze fell on Zhong Li, who politely nodded at her and then unabashedly took out her phone to browse Weibo.

Assistant Wang beside her genuinely broke into a sweat for Zhong Li, wondering how she had offended this Empress Dowager Cixi-like figure.

With a "ding," the elevator doors opened, and Zhong Li and Assistant Wang watched as Li Jiaxue stepped in first before they followed suit.
