Lady Gu Is Too Weak To Fend For Herself Chapter 98 - Waiting For You To Come Back For Dinner

Chapter 98: Waiting For You To Come Back For Dinner

The company’s female secretary: “…”

She replied fearfully, “Maybe it’s because they’re gossiping? We tend to lose track of time when we’re gossiping with our friends.”

Gu Zheng said coldly, “Even if you’ve forgotten the time, there’s no need to gossip for more than two hours, right? Aren’t you afraid of ruining your mouths?”

Two hours… That was indeed a long time.

The female secretary suddenly thought of a possibility and said carefully, “President Gu, are you sure that person is really on the phone? There’s another possibility in such a situation. Maybe the person has blocked your number.”

However, would anyone block President Gu?

The female secretary thought that her guess must be wrong. She was about to add something else when she realized that Gu Zheng’s face was livid.

The female secretary: “…”

Gu Zheng could not control his anger. How dare Qiao Xi block him?! Song Shiyu, that stupid man, even said that Qiao Xi was on the phone with someone else. It was all his fault!

“Go tell Song Shiyu that his bonus for this month is gone!”

The female secretary: “…”

Was this the legendary act of taking out one’s anger on someone else? Song Shiyu was so pitiful.

On the other hand, Qiao Xi had waited for Gu Zheng in the villa until nine at night. She was so hungry that her stomach was growling, but Gu Zheng, that sc.u.mbag, was not back yet!

She could not help but confirm with the butler. “Butler, are you sure Gu Zheng will be back today?”

The butler replied with uncertainty, “When I called Young Master earlier, he said he would be back, but it’s very late now. Madam, you’re hungry too, right? Should I get the kitchen to get you something to eat first? Maybe we can prepare the things you brought back?”

Qiao Xi said faintly, “No need. I’ll wait for him to come back.”

If Gu Zheng was not coming back, what was the point of her eating the food she brought back? She could not taste it anyway.

When it was half-past nine, Qiao Xi could not help but take out her phone to call Gu Zheng. Very good, it got through, which meant that Gu Zheng had not blocked her number.

As time pa.s.sed, she could not help but wonder if Gu Zheng had realized that she had blocked him. However, now that the call could be connected… According to Gu Zheng’s character, if he found out that she had blocked him, he would probably block her too to take revenge.

Soon, the call connected. The man’s shallow breathing was heard through the phone.

Qiao Xi’s voice was slightly stiff. “Gu Zheng?”

Gu Zheng’s voice was cold. “Yes.”

Qiao Xi said, “It’s almost ten. You told the butler that you were coming back for dinner. Where are you? Why aren’t you back yet?”

Gu Zheng snorted. “I haven’t finished my work yet, so I can’t go back.”

When Qiao Xi heard this, she knew that this sc.u.mbag was throwing a tantrum again.

“Mrs. Gu, is there anything else? If there’s nothing else, I’ll get back to work.”

“Wait.”

Qiao Xi took a few deep breaths, then waved her hand at the butler to get him to stay farther away. She held her phone and gritted her teeth as she called out, “Brother Gu Zheng!”

Gu Zheng paused for a moment.

Qiao Xi’s eyes lit up. This move was really effective. She continued working hard. “Brother Gu Zheng, when are you coming back? I’m so hungry from waiting for you!”

Gu Zheng bent his fingers slightly and lowered his voice. “Alright, I’ll be right back.”

Qiao Xi: “…”

‘d.a.m.n it, didn’t you just say that you have work to do?!’

20 minutes later, the sound of the door opening was heard. Qiao Xi got down from the sofa and rushed in front of Gu Zheng, taking his jacket from him enthusiastically. “Let me do it, let me do it.”

Gu Zheng glanced at her. “Hungry?”

Qiao Xi nodded with all her might. “I’m so hungry I’m going to starve to death!”

“Heh.” Gu Zheng scoffed. This woman probably had something to ask of him again. Otherwise, she would not have such an att.i.tude.

The man slowly went upstairs. “But I’m not hungry yet. If you’re hungry, go ahead and eat. I’ll go upstairs and take a shower.”

It was obvious that he was going against her.

Qiao Xi was even more sure that Gu Zheng was in a bad mood. The thought of forcing a kiss on him gradually vanished. It was better for her not to try anything funny.

“Alright, alright. Go take a shower first. We’ll talk after you’re done.”

Gu Zheng stopped in his tracks as he walked upstairs. He turned around and looked at her indifferently. “Mrs. Gu, do you have something to request from me?” This woman’s att.i.tude was completely different from her att.i.tude earlier in the day.

Qiao Xi’s expression froze for a moment. … It could be considered as a request, but Gu Zheng would also benefit from a kiss.

Hence, she revealed a formal smile. “No, we’re husband and wife. Can’t I show you some concern? Be careful when you shower later. Don’t slip and fall.”

Saying such words at a time like this did not seem like words of concern but more like a curse.

Gu Zheng snorted coldly in his heart. If he was not wrong, this woman probably wanted to use him to temporarily recover her taste buds’ ability to taste food. Only at times like this would she be a little more friendly to him.
