Capítulo 1516: Chapter 1516: She Was Wearing a Man’s Jacket
The three of them, just like several years ago, were chatting and having a barbecue on the rooftop without any restrictions, going on until midnight.
Nobody noticed that across two buildings, reporters had set up long-focus cameras.
“I’ll go down and get some fruit,” Xue Mengmeng said, and then went downstairs.
Li Chaoxi sat next to Gu Ziyou, lightly shaking a glass of beer in his hand, drinking as he said, “Have I been too busy these past few years?”
“You sure have been busy, I can count the number of times I see you in a year on my fingers,” Gu Ziyou, already a bit tipsy, stretched out her hands and looked at them, “But you’re just working hard, I know that. Look, I can be independent now too. I’ll tell you, when my salary comes, I’ll make Xie Nianjing’s face show an expression of disbelief. You’ve never seen that expression on his face, right?”
Li Chaoxi chuckled, “Never seen it. But I made a bet with him, I bet you can do it, he bet you can’t. Do me a favor, if you need anything, just let me know privately, I won’t tell him.”
“I don’t need it,” Gu Ziyou refused, “I don’t need anyone’s help. If I lose, then I lose. But I won’t! By the way, how long did you bet on?”
“A month.”
“Damn it!” Gu Ziyou fumed, “He actually thinks I can’t last a month!”
“Youyou, which company are you with?” Li Chaoxi thought for a moment and turned to look at her.
“Not telling you…”
“Then who’s your boss?”
“He… Achoo!” Gu Ziyou was caught off guard by a sneeze.
The temperature had started to drop in Hai City over the past few days, especially in the evenings.
The wind on the rooftop was strong, after several hours, she finally started sneezing.
And then one after another.
“Forget it, you should go home,” Li Chaoxi took out a coat he had disguised as his own and placed it over her shoulders, “I’ll drive Mengmeng’s car to take you.”
“No need…”
“Be good and go home for some rest. Don’t go to work for now. I’ll see… I’ll see if I can tell the company I won’t leave on tomorrow’s flight, and skip the next promotion.”
“No, no, you attend to your business, it’s fine, Mengmeng will take care of me… Achoo!”
In the end, amidst Youyou’s chatter, Li Chaoxi took her back to Banshui Apartment.
“Are you sure you can go up by yourself?”
Gu Ziyou sniffed and waved her hand, “Really, it’s fine, the breeze woke me up, I wasn’t drunk at all. Chaoxi brother, you can go back, it’s just a slight cold. You said you wanted to aim to be like Uncle Bai, but don’t be as lazy as he is…”
Li Chaoxi was about to say something, but Gu Ziyou had already opened the car door.
“Bye, be careful. You have so many fans, don’t bother Mengmeng.”
On the rooftop terrace, Shen Lingfeng looked downstairs.
His brows were deeply furrowed, and the phone in his hand still couldn’t get through to her number.
It was already midnight.
He thought for a moment, took a jacket from inside, and went out.
Gu Ziyou was standing in front of the elevator, rubbing her eyes. She heard a ding, the doors opened, and she saw a familiar figure step out.
“President Shen?” She looked at the person stepping out of the elevator in surprise, “Why are you going out so late?”
Shen Lingfeng silently looked at her, her face was flushed with a post-drink red, and there was a hint of confusion in her eyes.
She was wearing a… men’s coat.
“Why haven’t I been able to reach you on the phone?” he asked in a deep voice.
Gu Ziyou reached into her clothes pocket for her phone, pressed the power button, “See, it’s out of battery, I can’t turn it on…”
Just as she finished speaking, she pressed the button and the phone powered on.
