She gently got on the bed and cautiously curled up at one side.

After the lights dimmed, she was gently carried up and soon she found herself in a warm embrace.

Gu Xi’s body stiffened, but before she could break free, his voice rang. “If you don’t want me to do more things to you, then obediently stay still!”

Her back was pressed against his hot and firm body while his hot breath puffed at her neck.

She did not dare to move and in a moment, she was flipped over.

Under the dim light, his handsome face looked even more defined and handsome.

With no words spoken between them, he stared at her with a deep gaze and raised his fingers to touch her lips.

Gu Xi quivered in fear that he might do the same thing that he did in the bathroom.

But in the end, he did not say anything and merely hugged her in his embrace before closing his eyes.

His existence was very prominent. Whether it was his breathing or… a certain part of his body touching her stomach.

Gu Xi was not exactly a pure girl who had no inkling of what it was…

He clearly… did nothing and only hugged her.

However, she could not ignore its presence…

She was at a loss and did not even know where to place her hands and legs!

She thought she would not be able to sleep, but in just half an hour, she started to drift off into dreamland. As she slept, her stomach felt warm… and it did not seem to be painful anymore.

Her mouth slightly curled up… Under the light, her small face looked fair and beautiful.

Pei Qian silently opened his eyes and stared at her face. When he saw the curl of her mouth, he wore an indiscernible expression.

When Gu Xi woke up in the morning, she was still a little dizzy…

She tilted her body to the side and hugged the pillow that Pei Qian used to sleep…

Because of this action, her bathrobe slightly loosened.

She looked very seductive—very, very seductive!

Unable to resist his temptation, Pei Qian stopped tying his tie and bent down to kiss that little cutie…

Gu Xi’s little mouth let out a deep moan before she opened her eyes.

The moment she woke up, she saw such a disharmonious sight…

Before she could scream, Pei Qian had already raised his head and calmly greeted her. “Morning!”

With that, he stood up straight and continued to do his tie.

His posture was very pleasing to the eye. Under the sunlight, his facial features were refreshing and handsome. He even had a shaved chin and it looked very neat!

Gu Xi bit down on her lips and felt her face burning up, thus she turned her head away in uneasiness.

At that moment, her phone rang. She looked as though she received a pardon and quickly picked it up. When she was about to answer the call, she saw Qin Mo’s name.

She hesitated momentarily before hanging up the call.

Qin Mo did not give up and continued to call her.

Gu Xi pursed her lips and was prepared to power off her phone when suddenly, someone with a long and beautiful hand snatched her phone away. Pei Qian looked at the number and curled his lips. “Why didn’t you answer?”

“Give it back to me!” Gu Xi forcefully got up.

Pei Qian looked at her and placed the phone further away before answering the call. Then, he calmly spoke to the phone’s receiver. “It’s Pei Qian!”

On the other end of the call, Qin Mo was beyond startled while Pei Qian hung up the call and turned the phone off.

He swung the phone around. “Don’t contact or meet him again!”

Gu Xi tolerated her anger. If she wanted to contact Qin Mo, she would not have him off so easily!

Pei Qian looked at her and his gaze suddenly landed on her cleavage. Gu Xi looked down, and upon realizing what he was looking at, she quickly ran to the bathroom while covering herself up with her bathrobe.

With a sudden good mood, Pei Qian laughed and continued to do his tie.

When Gu Xi walked out of the bathroom, Pei Qian was already carrying his briefcase and was preparing to head out.

He looked at the clothes that she wore. He had specifically let someone prepare it for her, and it fit her very beautifully!

Under his gaze, Gu Xi uneasily bent her neck down.

“Eat breakfast before you leave,” he calmly instructed. He looked very natural and it gave Gu Xi the wrong impression of him being a husband who was instructing his wife in some matters.

She shook her head and got rid of such absurdness from her mind!

Before Pei Qian left, he seemed to have remembered something and turned to look at her. “Come over during dinner time, let’s eat dinner together.”

Gu Xi froze. Did she still have to come over in the evening?

However, he already proceeded downstairs…

When Gu Xi proceeded downstairs, she heard the starting engine of a car and immediately knew Pei Qian had left.

Given her circumstance, she wasn’t in the mood to eat and just barely ate.

She only switched her phone on after she got in the car… and unexpectedly, she received over twenty missed calls from Qin Mo.

Thinking about it, he must have been really furious!

Men were always like this. They allowed themselves to cheat on their girlfriends, but never allowed women to have any hint of betrayal!

Gu Xi had a cold look on and she switched her phone off again.

When she reached the office, Lin Yunzhi smiled and said, “Manager Gu’s clothes look very pretty today!”

Gu Xi lowered her head and looked at her dress, but she remained silent.

As Lin Yunzhi looked at that set of clothes, she knew in her heart that it was clearly not Manager Gu’s style…

Was it bought by a man?

It could not be from Qin Mo because Qin Mo called several times earlier asking whether Gu Xi showed up at work. He even sounded desperate.

Lin Yunzhi figured that Manager Gu probably… spent the night with another man!

Gu Xi looked at Lin Yunzhi and remembered something. “If Mr. Qin calls, tell him that I’m not around.”

“What if he comes over?” Lin Yunzhi admitted that she said that on purpose.

Without a second thought, she said, “I’m not seeing him! Find a way to make him leave!”

With a serious expression, Lin Yunzhi said, “Yes!”

Gu Xi entered the office and opened her computer to follow up with the Gu Group’s stock movement.

It was very calm or on clearer terms, it was going up steadily!

Pei Qian kept his promise and let Gu Group off. Because of his intervention, the Gu Group did well in the stock market and this was undoubtedly like injecting fresh blood into the system.

However, Gu Xi seemed unhappy as she silently sat in her office and even refused to see anyone.

The shareholders were all in great spirits. Lin Yunzhi entered her office, and she softly said, “Manager Gu, the meeting is starting at ten o’clock.”

Gu Xi did not move. “Let the deputy manager take over!”

“Deputy manager is currently having a business trip in the United States and has yet to come back.” Lin Yunzhi could confirm that Gu Xi was definitely thinking about her personal matters. If not, she would not have forgotten this matter at all!

Gu Xi’s expression looked a little lost before she stood up. “Then, I’ll go.”

Throughout the meeting, she did not know what those old businessmen were talking about and only caught on with their worries whether their shares were still valuable or not.

Gu Xi felt a little shocked. After the meeting, she made two shareholders stay back…

One was called Yin Jiangmin and the other called Pan Gaoshou. Both followed Old Master Gu for a long time.

After everyone left, Gu Xi looked at both of them, and she softly said, “In the next shareholder meeting, Uncle Yin and Uncle Pan don’t have to come anymore!”
