540: A Man's Strength

A Man's Strength

Gu Zheng glanced at her red cheeks and dazed eyes. He instantly understood.2

The man smirked. "Mrs. Gu."

"Huh?"

"Don't think I don't know what you're thinking. You're drooling."

Qiao Xi subconsciously touched the corners of her mouth and noticed that she had been deceived by Gu Zheng, so she pouted. "Ah Zheng, you lied to me. How annoying!"

The man pulled her into his arms and pressed his body tightly against hers. He stared at her fair neck and collarbone with burning eyes. "You want it?"

Damn! He was too straightforward! She was still a baby!

Qiao Xi's face turned red. Although it was not appropriate to say all this at this moment, Gu Zheng still brought her to the bedroom. The atmosphere could not help but make one imagine.

The scene from that day suddenly appeared in her mind. Gu Zheng was lying on top of her, panting slightly. The strands of hair on his forehead were swaying.

The more Qiao Xi thought about it, the shyer she felt. The blush on her face even spread to the back of her ears. "Ah Zheng, um—"

"Okay, stop thinking about it," the man interrupted coldly. "As your punishment for making me worry, put away your thoughts and come downstairs for dinner with me immediately!"

As soon as he finished speaking, he walked out of the bedroom first, leaving Qiao Xi standing in the same spot in a daze.

Qiao Xi had an embarrassed expression on her face while the corners of her mouth twitched slightly. Then, she muttered unhappily at his back.

Unexpectedly, Gu Zheng suddenly turned around and happened to see Qiao Xi's angry expression. He sneered. "Mrs. Gu, you seem to be very dissatisfied with me?"

Qiao Xi smiled awkwardly with her hands supporting her chin.

"I… How could I be dissatisfied?! I like you so much! Hahaha…"

Gu Zheng smiled meaningfully. Unfortunately, he could not hear Qiao Xi's thoughts now. They would certainly be very interesting.

…

In the dining room.

Song Shijing and the butler had already prepared the food. They were waiting for the president and Young Madam to come down and eat.

However, after a long time, the two of them did not come downstairs. Song Shijing could not help but find it strange. In the past, when the president lived alone, he would usually get the kitchen to prepare the food only after he was done with work. However, after he married Young Madam, the time was fixed. Why were they still not here yet?

After a while, Song Shiyu rushed downstairs.

Song Shiyu smiled ambiguously. "Haha, Brother, don't wait anymore. When I was going upstairs, I heard something in the bedroom… Hehe, just leave them be for now."

Song Shijing was stunned for a few seconds before he realized what was going on.

Song Shiyu said excitedly, "Do you know what Young Madam and the president are doing? Brother, you know how capable the president is. It'll probably take a long time, so…"

Before he could finish, footsteps came from upstairs.

Gu Zheng stood at the stairs and stared at Song Shiyu with a faint smile.

Song Shiyu: "…" Although the president seemed to be smiling, why did he find it so scary? He choked on his saliva and coughed violently.

"President… Ahem… President, so soon? Um… Let's eat, hehe."

He thought that the president would take at least two hours. He did not expect him to come out in just a few minutes. He was too weak. Was there something wrong with the president?!

Fortunately, he did not say what was on his mind just now. Otherwise, the president would definitely not let him off easily. If he openly talked about him being incapable, he probably would not just have his salary deducted but also risk losing his life!

Gu Zheng's eyes narrowed slightly as he looked coldly at Qiao Xi, who was behind him. Qiao Xi was terrified to the point her entire body trembled.

'I'm innocent! Song Shiyu is thinking too much. It's not my fault!'

Gu Zheng gave a small smile and held Qiao Xi's hand as they sat down. The man thoughtfully picked up some food for her and took the opportunity to whisper into her ear, "I'll let you off this time, but I won't let you off next time."

Qiao Xi's entire body trembled while her face flushed red.

…

Xu family.

Xu Anran was suddenly sent back to the Xu family in the middle of the night. The person who sent her said that she was scheming and did not want to see her at high society banquets in the future.

Although the Xu family's servants did not know what was going on, they could roughly guess what was going on. They were all mocking her in their hearts. Since she was an adopted daughter, she should know her place. However, she just had to compete with the real daughter of the Xu family. What was even more infuriating was that the Xu couple were also muddle-headed and actually allowed their adopted daughter to bully their biological daughter.
