Every day when Qiao Xi woke up, Gu Zheng was already dressed and waiting in the dining room. He would accompany her to eat breakfast before going to work. She had indeed never thought about what Gu Zheng had done during this period of time and whether he would be lonely. After thinking about it, the anger in Qiao Xi’s heart instantly dissipated.

“Ah Zheng, you work until late at night every night and wake up at six in the morning. It’s not good for your body if you don’t sleep enough. You have to take care of your body no matter how busy you are!” Qiao Xi looked at him with a worried expression.

Gu Zheng nodded in agreement.

Qiao Xi recalled Song Shijing’s conversation with the butler and felt very guilty. She quickly said, “It’s okay. I won’t let you be alone in the future. I’ll wake up early and run with you.”

Gu Zheng slowly looked up, his deep eyes shining. He smiled. “Alright.”

Seeing that he seemed to be slightly sad, Qiao Xi felt even guiltier. “I’ll definitely wake up early. No matter what, I’ll accompany you.”

Gu Zheng looked at her gently, his eyes filled with love.

Qiao Xi said confidently, “Not to mention six, even four o’clock is fine. Gu Zheng, you’re usually so busy. All I can do is be by your side. I won’t let you be alone.”

“Four o’clock?” Song Shiyu happened to walk over and said in surprise, “President, why would you wake up at four? Don’t you usually wake up at seven?”

Qiao Xi was puzzled. Didn’t Gu Zheng wake up at six? Sometimes, he would wake up even earlier, so why did Song Shiyu say that he only woke up at seven?

Song Shiyu said, “What’s there to be lonely about? The president wakes up in the morning and gets ready, then has breakfast with you before going to work. There are hundreds of people in the company surrounding him. How could he be lonely? Thank God he’s not annoyed!”

Qiao Xi came to a sudden understanding. So Gu Zheng did not wake up early every day and only occasionally trained his body. He was not as lonely and pitiful as she imagined?

Gu Zheng put down his chopsticks, and his expression darkened.

Song Shiyu did not realize that danger was coming. He smiled arrogantly. “The president only woke up so early today because he wanted to wake Young Madam up! He was afraid that Young Madam would be angry, so he deliberately said that he was lonely to pretend to be pitiful!”

Gu Zheng looked up slowly and said indifferently, “Song Shiyu.”

At this moment, his eyes were calm, but the more gentle he was, the more terrifying he was. His thin lips parted slightly. “Are you very free?”

Song Shiyu shook his head. “No, I have to go to a meeting with you later!”

“Song Shijing can accompany me to the meeting. You have a more important task. Leave for the mountains immediately! Be back in a week.”

Song Shiyu wanted to cry but had no tears. Why did he send him to the mountains for no reason? Moreover, there was a lot of work there. How could he come back in a week? The president was asking him to work without sleep. Was he not just telling the truth? Did the president have to be so petty?

…

At ten o’clock, Qiao Xi reported to Li City University on time. After work, she was about to leave when she bumped into a familiar figure. Qiao Xi originally did not want to pay attention to him and walked past him. Unexpectedly, the person directly rushed over. “Qiao Xi, you’re still so rude. You didn’t even say anything when you saw me.”

At this moment, Xia Yunlou’s face was filled with resentment. “I went to Longwan Residential to look for you this morning. Those people refused to let me in, so I came here to look for you!”

Qiao Xi had an indifferent expression. Xia Yunlou had gone to Longwan Residential, but the butler did not tell her. He probably knew that she hated Xia Yunlou, so he did not want to disturb her because of an unrelated person. Unexpectedly, Xia Yunlou actually found her here.

“Have you seen Mengyan’s live broadcast? Did you even listen to what she said?!”

Qiao Xi raised her eyebrows and sneered. “She said so much, so how would I know what she meant?”

Xia Yunlou’s face was livid. She suppressed her anger and said, “Our family is holding a family banquet, so we’re letting you come home! No matter what, I’m your mother. It’s only right for you to return to the Xia family to attend the banquet. No one will gossip. Hurry up and go back with me!”

“Oh!” Qiao Xi had an indifferent expression, but her next words almost made Xia Yunlou vomit blood. She looked at Xia Yunlou with an innocent expression. “But I don’t want to go to the family banquet! I’m afraid that if I eat at the same table as you, I won’t be able to help but vomit.”

Xia Yunlou was dumbstruck, and her mouth opened wide in shock. She did not expect that Qiao Xi would actually say such things. It just so happened that Qiao Xi even looked arrogant. The flames of rage in Xia Yunlou’s heart instantly burned fiercely.

“What did you say?! You bastard!” Xia Yunlou screamed.
