The Scheming Billionaire's Heartfelt Devotion-Chapter 823 - 838: You’ll See Me Tomorrow Morning

Gu Nanxi looked at the image on the screen and noticed a hand less than half a meter away from Zhong Li on the bench. He recognized the watch on that wrist as the one Qi Shangyu wore before, and such an expensive watch is usually unaffordable for ordinary company employees.

Zhong Li looked at Gu Nanxi’s handsome face, her eyebrows holding a smile: "How’s your work going there? When can you come back?"

"It’s already taken care of, I’ll head to the airport later. By the way, which mountain are you guys at?"

"Just at that Qingyun Mountain near An City."

As soon as Zhong Li finished speaking, someone on the screen said something to Gu Nanxi about preparing to go to the airport. Gu Nanxi turned around, nodded, and looked at Zhong Li: "I’m heading to the airport, take care, okay?"

"Got it, bye-bye."

Zhong Li hung up the phone with a smile, the laughter at the corners of her mouth lingering for a long time.

Truth be told, Qi Shangyu was jealous. Zhong Li had never smiled at him like that; she was always distant and courteous, without even the slightest hint of closeness.

"Would you like a cookie?" Qi Shangyu looked at Zhong Li and asked.

"No need, President Qi, I just drank some water, I’m a bit full." 𝑓𝘳𝘦𝑒𝑤𝑒𝘣𝘯ℴ𝘷𝘦𝓁.𝑐𝑜𝑚

Qi Shangyu withdrew his hand hovering in mid-air and nodded with a smile.

Everyone had rested enough, so they continued to walk up, and Zhong Li took several photos along the way to send to Gu Nanxi, saying how wonderful it would be if he could come along.

Gu Nanxi, already resting in the airport VIP lounge, received Zhong Li’s message, his well-defined fingers gliding over the screen, typing a line of words to send.

[You’ll see me tomorrow morning.]

[How is that possible? Even if you fly back now, it would be around midnight when you reach home. I don’t believe it.]

[Wait for me.]

Gu Nanxi only sent these two words before being called by the assistant to board the plane.

Though Zhong Li knew it was impossible to see Gu Nanxi tomorrow morning, the thought of his imminent return made her very happy.

Qi Shangyu kept walking behind Zhong Li, watching her constantly engrossed in sending messages, feeling quite envious.

In the afternoon, they finally reached the mountain top, everyone was panting heavily, Zhong Li sat wearily on a rock, taking a few sips of mineral water.

Assistant Wang raised his hand, fanning his face constantly, his face was now red with heat, and those tight pants were nearly soaked with sweat marks.

"I’m so hungry, let’s cook something to eat." One of the female colleagues casually said.

"Let’s all get moving, the men will set up the tents, and the women will cook." The supervisor of the Sales Department stood up, brushed the dirt off his pants, clapped his hands, and looked at everyone: "Let’s get going quickly."

Although no one wanted to move right now, they had to fill their stomachs before resting. The women took out the cooking equipment and ingredients, only to find there was no firewood.

"What do we do without firewood?"

Zhong Li bent down and put down her backpack: "I’ll go gather some nearby, you guys prepare the ingredients, I’ll be back soon."

"Okay, be safe."

Qi Shangyu, who was setting up the tent nearby, saw Zhong Li walking away alone and followed her uneasily: "Why are you out here alone?"

Hearing the voice, Zhong Li turned: "We don’t have any firewood for cooking, I’m out to gather some."

"I’ll join you, we can gather more together."
