Chapter 207: One Can Never Know One’s Heart
Gu Corporation.
Song Shijing walked in. “President, when you were on a call just now, Young Madam called.”
He paused for a moment, then handed the phone to Gu Zheng and said awkwardly, “She said… she received your gifts.”
Song Shijing knew very well that Song Shiyu had given the gifts in the president’s name, but he did not know what he had given to make Young Madam call all of a sudden.
Gu Zheng was stunned for a moment. He took the phone from Song Shijing, who immediately left.
“Hello.”
Qiao Xi’s voice trembled slightly. “You gave those things to me?”
Gu Zheng had just ordered the clothes, so they definitely could not be delivered so soon.
He thought for a moment and suddenly recalled that there was a fashion brand that was in a business deal with Gu Corporation. They had given him some new female clothes, and they were all custom-made according to Qiao Xi’s size. She must be talking about those clothes.
Gu Zheng said nonchalantly, “They were sent by a fashion brand. They were all custom-made to match your size. They’re definitely not better than your own designs, but you’ll just have to wear them.”
Qiao Xi: “…” ‘I don’t design such provocative nightwear!’
She turned to look at the bed full of gauze and sighed. “I’ll ask again. Are you sure you gave them to me?”
Gu Zheng curled his lips. “Yes. You don’t like them?”
Such a shameless man!
These were not clothes, they were just pieces of fabric! It would be as if she was wearing nothing!
Gu Zheng suddenly remembered Song Shiyu’s words. ‘Don’t hide what you’ve done. Let Young Madam know.’
After a moment of silence, he smiled. “I participated in the design of a few garments. I think you’ll look good in them.”
Qiao Xi was dumbstruck.
She never knew that Gu Zheng was so open-minded and even participated in designing such clothes.
She thought of Gu Zheng discussing the details of the clothes with the designer with a cold face. The dignified president of Gu Corporation did not even care about his reputation anymore?
Qiao Xi gasped and forced herself to calm down. “Gu Zheng, you really want me to wear these clothes?”
Gu Zheng picked up the coffee on the table and turned on his computer. With a focused gaze, he casually said, “Yes, I’m going on a business trip in two days. You’ll go with me. Just treat it as a trip. Bring some of the new clothes with you.”
Qiao Xi was a famous designer. She could go over and discuss designing work as well as choose some clothes she liked.
Qiao Xi: “!!”
This bastard wanted her to bring these clothes on a trip?
He was shameless! How dare he play such tricks? Perhaps he had already played with other women like this.
Qiao Xi burned with rage and roared furiously. “Shameless! Bastard!”
She slammed the phone down.
Gu Zheng looked innocent as he held his phone in confusion.
Could it be that those clothes were not nice? After all, Qiao Xi was a famous designer and would have high expectations, but she would not be so angry, right?
…
Longwan Residential.
Qiao Xi lay on the bed and calmed her emotions. She had already put away those clothes, but the image kept lingering in her mind.
He had finally revealed his true identity!
What a beast!
It turned out that he liked such things. One could never judge a book by its cover!
Qiao Xi tossed and turned, her heart in a mess. She suddenly realized that Gu Zheng had probably given these clothes to her for…
When she kissed Gu Zheng, she would temporarily recover her taste buds. If she wanted to recover completely, would she have to do it that way?
Qiao Xi felt that perhaps she could give it a try…
However, those clothes were too embarrassing!
Qiao Xi got up, opened a gift box, and took out a revealing dress.
‘Calm down. You must calm down.’ She blushed and went into the bathroom with the dress.
…
Gu Zheng rushed home.
Just then, Song Shijing received a call from a fashion brand. “Special Assistant Song, I’m really sorry. Those clothes will be delivered later. Please don’t have President Gu blame me.”
After hanging up, Song Shijing hurried upstairs to look for Gu Zheng, only to find that he had left long ago.
Actually, it was not a big deal. It was just a few clothes.. The president would not care.
Chapter 208: Gu Zheng Is Truly Shameless
Although Qiao Xi and Gu Zheng did not stay in the same bedroom, the second floor was their private space, so no one would disturb them.
At this moment, Qiao Xi crept into Gu Zheng’s bedroom and pushed open the bathroom door. She looked at herself in the mirror with a shy expression.
‘You call this clothes?’
There were only a few pieces of fabric in total and they were all transparent. Just looking at them made her on the verge of getting a nose bleed. She did not know what Gu Zheng would think if he saw her like this.
Her breathing was rapid. After thinking for a moment, she pushed open the bathroom door and rushed under the blanket to cover her seductive body.
On the other side, Gu Zheng’s car slowly came to a stop. He had a serious expression on his face. “Where’s Young Madam?”
Song Shiyu was flustered. His mind was filled with thoughts of his salary being deducted, but he only did it for the president’s sake!
Hearing the president’s voice, he walked over in a daze and said nervously, “Young Madam? She’s back in the bedroom.”
Gu Zheng nodded and was about to walk away.
Song Shiyu rushed over with a guilty look on his face. “President! I’ve been working hard for you for so long and it’s all for your own good. If I’ve offended you in any way, please spare my life, President!”
Gu Zheng: “…”
Had water entered Song Shiyu’s brain?
He ignored him and went upstairs.
The moment he entered the bedroom, he realized that someone had entered it and could not help but frown.
Not to mention the servants but even Song Shiyu, who was always by his side, could not enter his room. Who was so audacious?
His eyes turned cold as he took off his jacket and walked in. When he saw the scene in front of him, he widened his eyes.
…
Just before he came in.
Qiao Xi covered herself with the blanket, her heart thumping.
Gu Zheng was coming back soon. What should she do?!
What would he say when he saw her like this?
Should she say, ‘Have you been thinking about it for a long time? Is that why you bought such embarrassing clothes for me?’
Or should she pretend to be weak? ‘Ah Zheng, you’re so annoying! Do you like me wearing clothes like this?’
This was too embarrassing!
The footsteps outside got closer and closer. Qiao Xi’s heart seemed to be about to jump out.
Forget it, forget it. She was not going to do it anymore. It was too strange to have sex so suddenly. She should nurture their relationship first.
Qiao Xi shook her head and felt that she must have been muddled-headed for a moment there. She was actually considering selling her body to recover her taste buds.
No matter what, Gu Zheng was her senior. After spending ten years together, he suddenly became her husband. It was hard to accept that he would do such a shameful thing.
Qiao Xi went back on her word and quickly got up, wanting to go back to the bathroom to change.
At this moment, the bedroom door was pushed open.
Qiao Xi was instantly petrified as she raised her eyes to look at the man in front of her. “…”
She stood there with a dumbfounded expression. She really wanted to find a hole to bury herself in.
Gu Zheng knew that there was someone in the room and also knew that it was probably only Qiao Xi who had the guts to come in here. Hence, he did not have any concerns and directly walked in. It was just that he did not expect the bedroom to be filled with such a beautiful scene.
Gu Zheng’s heart seemed to have been dealt a heavy blow.
Qiao Xi was wearing a white dress that was as thin as a cicada’s wings. All parts of her body were exposed, and she was shockingly beautiful. For the first time, Gu Zheng experienced a strong impulse as the blood in his entire body surged. He exclaimed.
Had she… gone mad?
The man’s Adam’s apple moved, and he hurriedly closed the door. His voice was hoarse. “Qiao Xi, you…”
Qiao Xi covered the important parts of her body and kept retreating as she shouted, “Gu Zheng! You actually bought such clothes for me? You’re too shameless! I thought you were very pure! Looks like you can never judge a book by its cover!”
Gu Zheng: “…”
What? He bought it?
When did he buy such a thing for Qiao Xi?
A strange image of Song Shiyu and his guilty face suddenly appeared in Gu Zheng’s mind.
Oh~
It was Song Shiyu!
The man curled the corners of his mouth and slowly walked over to Qiao Xi. He placed his palm on her back and moved it to his waist, his voice filled with delight.
“Yes, it’s beautiful.”
The corners of Qiao Xi’s mouth twitched.
Her voice trembled. “Gu… Gu Zheng, how could you buy such clothes? Shameless…”
Gu Zheng pulled her into his arms, his body burning. There was a calmness in his voice.. “What’s there to be shy about? We’re husband and wife, so it’s only right.”
