"Then you were lying to me?" Zhong Chichi pouted her red lips, looking pitiful, as if she had been badly bullied by Chen Xiao.
Then, before Chen Xiao could react, he heard Zhong Chichi say, "I still remember you touching me more than once. Could this also be the childhood joke you mentioned?"
As he spoke, Zhong Chichi stared at Chen Xiao's eyes with a resentful look on his face.
It seems like anger, but also like expressing love.
Thinking of the time when Chen Xiao shamelessly held her hand and said he would protect her for the rest of her life when they were little, Zhong Chizhi couldn't help but feel a flush on her face.
This guy has been so bad since he was a child...
To a certain extent, this is also one of the reasons why Zhong Chichi is still obsessed with Chen Xiao.
Chen Xiao, who was walking beside Zhong Chichi, stumbled and almost fell to the ground after being exposed by Zhong Chichi. Zhong Chichi also sensed that something was wrong with Chen Xiao, raised his eyebrows slightly, and then burst out laughing.
"Ahem..." Chen Xiao finally came back to his senses and gradually calmed down.
"Chi Chi, it's been so long, you still remember..." When Zhong Chi Chi said those words just now, Chen Xiao almost choked on his own saliva.
When they were young and ignorant, it was common for them to tug and pull each other while playing. But who would have thought that Zhong Chichi would bring up this matter again? Now that they were adults, it was natural for them to think about other things. Chen Xiao was now a little confused about what Zhong Chichi was trying to do.
"I'm just kidding, look at you!" Zhong Chichi looked extremely amused, and then said to Chen Xiao with a smile on his face.
"That's good, that's good..." Chen Xiao felt ashamed. He had always been the one teasing others, but this time, Zhong Chichi had teased him thoroughly. This also made Chen Xiao speechless.
Chen Xiao and Zhong Chichi chatted and laughed all the way, and soon they arrived at the lobby of the Xuanli Group. As expected, just as Chen Xiao expected, when he entered the lobby, almost everyone's eyes fell on him.
Zhong Chichi was still holding Chen Xiao's arm with a smile on her face. Chen Xiao could only cooperate with a dry smile. The two of them looked like a couple in love.
Chen Xiao felt a little uncomfortable after sensing the surprise in everyone's gazes, but Zhong Chichi seemed oblivious to their gazes. He still held Chen Xiao's arm, looking incredibly affectionate.
The eyes of the male employees in the hall looking at Chen Xiao were undoubtedly gradually changing. Hundreds of murderous eyes were staring at Chen Xiao in unison.
Feeling those murderous gazes, Chen Xiao couldn't help but feel a chill in his heart.
Chi Chi...you are trying to kill me...
Chen Xiao couldn't help but howl in his heart.
Although Chen Xiao wanted to let go of Zhong Chichi, Zhong Chichi, who was walking beside Chen Xiao, seemed to understand his thoughts and the arm that was already around Chen Xiao couldn't help but tighten. In the stalemate, Chen Xiao even felt the huge and full body in front of Zhong Chichi.
Chen Xiao felt dizzy and dazed, and could only accept his fate and cooperate with Zhong Chichi. The short distance of just a dozen steps in the hall seemed too long to Chen Xiao. After Chen Xiao and Zhong Chichi had completely exited the hall, no one spoke, and the atmosphere fell into an extremely quiet state.
The employees in the hall all looked towards the backs of Chen Xiao and Zhong Chichi. After the two completely disappeared from everyone's sight, the employees in the hall reluctantly withdrew their gazes.
No one spoke in the hall. The sounds of conversation, walking, or talking on the phone vanished completely. The entire hall was plunged into an utterly silent environment. An eerie atmosphere quietly permeated the hall.
The employees in the hall looked at each other in bewilderment. They could see the deep disbelief in each other's eyes.
After an unknown amount of time, the entire hall suddenly erupted in activity, shattering the eerie, quiet atmosphere. Everyone erupted in a clamor, discussing what had just happened.
"Is the person who just walked out Director Zhong from the e-commerce platform?"
"Are you kidding me? It's that big...uh, it must be her!"
"The one next to him, could that be his boyfriend?"
Several male employees murmured, their eyes blazing with anger. Zhong Chichi was the most beautiful woman in Tesco and the entire Xuanli Group, the dream lover of countless male employees.
Although they knew in their hearts that Zhong Chi Chi would definitely not look down on them with her status and looks, they still had a fantasy that at least Zhong Chi Chi was still single. What if she accidentally got lucky?
However, with Chen Xiao's appearance, everyone instantly dispelled this thought. Almost every male employee felt the urge to kill Chen Xiao. The vast hall was buzzing with discussion about what had just happened, and everyone's eyes couldn't help but erupt with gossip.
"Who was that man just now?"
Not only were the male employees discussing this, but the female employees who had witnessed the incident couldn't help but speak out of curiosity.
"What do you think? Could that man be a high-level CEO?" A fashionable urban beauty couldn't help but join in and spoke to everyone.
"Tsk! Do you think it's similar?" At this time, a glamorous woman dressed in heavy makeup spoke up. She snorted coldly and continued, "Didn't you see what that man was wearing? He's wearing all these cheap clothes. If his clothes cost more than 500 yuan, he's already very good!"
The charming woman couldn't help but flash a hint of contempt in her eyes, and then she said, "I never thought that our Director Zhong would fall for someone like this. Did he forget to wear his glasses?"
A glint of jealousy flashed across her eyes as the alluring woman made no secret of her mockery of Zhong Chichi. Initially, she and Zhong Chichi had interviewed and joined Xuanli Group on the same day. Back then, the alluring woman had been deeply jealous of Zhong Chichi's beauty and her extraordinary aura.
Not only that, in just a few short years, Zhong Chichi had transformed herself into a director at Tesco thanks to her impressive skills! This undoubtedly made the alluring woman even more jealous. In just a few years, Zhong Chichi had become the director of the purchasing and sales department of an e-commerce platform, while she was still just a lowly employee. This enormous disparity undoubtedly tormented her to the extreme.
Normally, the seductive woman would spread rumors about Zhong Chi-Chi behind her back at the company, hoping to get back at her. Ironically, Zhong Chi-Chi had no idea she even existed. She still stubbornly believed that Zhong Chi-Chi had robbed her of the future that had once belonged to her.
This time, seeing Zhong Chichi walking with an unknown stranger, the charming woman naturally would not miss such a good opportunity, so she mocked him loudly just now.
The other female employees sitting around her couldn't help but show a look of surprise on their faces after hearing what the charming woman said.
"Zhang Feng, you don't mean to say that our Director Zhong has fallen for a pretty boy?!" At this time, another female employee spoke up, and she looked at the charming woman named Zhang Feng with surprise.
Zhang Feng sneered upon hearing this, his eyes gleaming with jealousy. He then spoke coldly, "Isn't that obvious? That man looks poor, but superficially handsome. Our Director Zhong must have taken a fancy to him and shamelessly made him his gigolo!"
As he spoke, Zhang Feng's eyes couldn't help but reveal a hint of deep satisfaction. Zhang Feng constantly fantasized that one day Zhong Chichi would be removed from his position as director. Because of this, Zhang Feng had been constantly fabricating rumors about Zhong Chichi behind his back, saying things that never happened.
"Zhang Feng." At this moment, another female employee present couldn't help but speak up. She said to Zhang Feng with a somewhat unhappy expression, "You are just guessing. There is no factual basis at all."
"Factual basis?" Zhang Feng glanced at the female employee indifferently and sneered, "I'm sorry, I can't think of any other reason besides what I just said. By the way, are you attracted to that pretty boy? Are you always speaking up for him?"
As he spoke, Zhang Feng couldn't help but sneer and said with disdain, "Don't worry, even a pretty boy wouldn't be interested in a little slut like you!"
"Zhang Feng, how can you talk like that?!" The female employee was so angry that she was shaking.
"Oh! Are you anxious? Did I hit the nail on the head?" Zhang Feng glanced at the female employee with a mocking look on his face, and then spoke.
The female employee was clearly furious, but she also knew that Zhang Feng was a notorious gossipmonger throughout the company. She was also rumored to be having an affair with Tesco's executive, Ma Zheng. Because of this, she felt completely secure when dealing with lower-level employees. Those present had heard of Zhang Feng and Ma Zheng's affairs more than once. Sometimes, Ma Zheng would summon Zhang Feng to his office under the guise of work, and after nearly half an hour, she would return disheveled and flushed. Even a fool could see the underlying smugness going on.
However, due to Ma Zheng's position, everyone could only act as if they were angry but dared not speak out. Zhang Feng, on the other hand, was not ashamed of being Ma Zheng's secret lover. Instead, she was proud of it and acted fearless.
Zhang Feng's reputation had long been tarnished throughout Tesco, but thanks to Ma Zheng, no one dared to do anything to her. Just like now, under Zhang Feng's constant ridicule, the female employee could only turn her head away and pretend not to hear.
Ma Zheng was their immediate superior, and even if he didn't have the power to fire them, it would have been easy for him to suppress them, overtly or covertly, under the guise of work and make things difficult for them. So, with this in mind, the female employee could only swallow her anger and pretend not to have heard Zhang Feng's obscene words.
The female employee's behavior undoubtedly deepened Zhang Feng's arrogance, and the smile on his face became even more intense. This heated discussion also ended under such circumstances.
Chen Xiao and Zhong Chichi hadn't realized that their intimate behavior in the hall would cause such a stir. After leaving the hall, Chen Xiao couldn't help but secretly breathe a sigh of relief.
"Chi Chi, you definitely did it on purpose." Chen Xiao touched his nose awkwardly and said to Zhong Chi Chi with a sullen look on his face.
After hearing what Chen Xiao said, Zhong Chi Chi couldn't help but be stunned for a moment, and then laughed out loud. Chen Xiao also noticed the change on Zhong Chi Chi's face, and couldn't help but said angrily: "As expected, you did it on purpose!"
"I just want to ask you for a small favor!" After seeing the change in Chen Xiao's expression, Zhong Chichi looked pitiful, shaking one of Chen Xiao's arms back and forth, and spoke to the latter in a coquettish manner.
"I'm sorry!" Zhong Chichi thought that Chen Xiao was still angry with her, and she couldn't help but feel a little panicked. Zhong Chichi didn't want to ruin the relationship between her and Chen Xiao because of such a small thing.
"Don't do it again!" Seeing Zhong Chichi looking so pitiful, like a bullied young wife, Chen Xiao couldn't bear to tease her anymore. He then deliberately put on a cold face and said to Zhong Chichi beside him.
"Chen Xiao is the best!" After hearing Chen Xiao's words, Zhong Chichi cheered like a little girl, then stood on tiptoe and gently pecked Chen Xiao on the face.
"This is a reward for you!" Zhong Chichi winked playfully and then said to Chen Xiao.
"Why did you do that just now?" As he said that, Chen Xiao couldn't help but look at Zhong Chizhi with curiosity.
As soon as he heard Chen Xiao's question, the smile on Zhong Chichi's face gradually disappeared, replaced by a look of frustration.
"It's still those people!" Zhong Chichi pouted and said to Chen Xiao angrily, "Almost every week someone comes to the company to give me flowers or something like that. And those people in the company are always trying to please me. It's so annoying."
As she spoke, Zhong Chichi suddenly smiled and said to Chen Xiao in her sweet voice, "It's good now. They think you are my boyfriend now, so they won't bother me anymore!"
Chen Xiao, who was standing by, couldn't help but look a bit amused after hearing what Zhong Chichi said. Originally, Chen Xiao thought Zhong Chichi had something to hide, but who would have thought it was about something like this.
"Chi Chi, are you using me as a shield?" After listening to Zhong Chi Chi's explanation, Chen Xiao deliberately put on a stern face and said to Zhong Chi Chi beside him.
"Then if you mind, we can turn the fake into reality!" Zhong Chichi couldn't help but laugh when he heard it, and then said to Chen Xiao beside him with a meaningful look.
"Ahem... forget it!" Chen Xiao obviously did not expect Zhong Chichi to be so bold and actually give him such an answer.
After Chen Xiao finished speaking, Zhong Chi Chi showed an aggrieved look and said to Chen Xiao with a face full of resentment: "Don't you think highly of Chi Chi?"
"No way?" Chen Xiao blinked innocently at first, and then blurted out subconsciously.
"Then why did you say forget it?" Zhong Chichi asked immediately.
"Uh..." Chen Xiao looked at a loss for words, not knowing how to respond.
"Haha!" Zhong Chichi looked at Chen Xiao's embarrassed expression and couldn't help laughing again.
Oh well! I've been teased again…
