Chapter 125: Please have mercy, my lord
Chapter 125: Please have mercy, my lord
He sounded aggrieved, like a pampered young wife. He was nothing like the powerful, cold and abstinent president he appeared to be in front of others.
"Boss Gu, if your employees saw you in this state, they would probably be so scared that they would resign overnight."
Shen Li reached out and touched his face lovingly, all his worries disappearing.
Gu Jingcheng smiled, grabbed her hand and placed it on his lips and kissed it gently, "Then please have mercy on me, my lady, and give me a name."
Shen Li couldn't hide the smile on his face. He pretended to be embarrassed and thought for a while: "Okay then~"
In the box, Wei Ming had a cigarette dangling from the corner of his mouth, but it was not lit. He was playing cards with a few other people in a casual and uninhibited manner.
He seemed to have good luck this time, with a raised eyebrow and a look as if he wanted to make the opponent lose without leaving anything behind.
There were several other people playing cards together, including Lin Yanqing and Song Zhou. The beauty next to Song Zhou was leaning against him, leaning on his arm from time to time. She was his fiancée Qi Ling.
Four people were playing cards. When they saw Gu Jingcheng and Shen Li coming in, Song Zhou, who had a frown on his face, immediately threw away the cards in his hand and stood up excitedly.
"You are finally here..."
Seeing Song Zhou throw away the cards in his hand, Wei Ming reacted too excitedly and stood up.
"Oh my god, you are doing this on purpose. You are cheating because you can't beat me. Pick up your cards quickly."
Song Zhou had a sly smile on his face. Not only did he not pick up the cards, but he reached out and randomly rummaged through the pile of cards.
"Go away, go away. There's no point playing cards when the real owner is here. It's boring."
Not interesting?
It was obvious that he had dragged a few people to play cards because he was bored in the beginning, but now he thinks it's boring.
The fact is that he was dealt a terrible hand and he was eager to have a chance to end this "war of honor" as soon as possible.
Wei Ming glared at him speechlessly, "You are still the same as when you were a kid! I don't know what Qi Ling sees in you?"
Qi Ling smiled and replied, "Maybe my eyesight is not good."
Song Zhou didn't care at all because his attention was attracted by the people brought by Gu Jingcheng.
Wei Ming had met Shen Li before, and he knew more about what happened between Shen Li and Gu Jingcheng than anyone else, so in comparison, he was not that curious.
However, Lin Yanqing and Song Zhou, who had only heard of Shen Li's existence, couldn't wait to meet her.
Lin Yanqing: "Ah Cheng, you are really amazing. If it weren't for what my old man said, I wouldn't have known that you were secretly married."
Song Zhou: "Yes, please introduce them quickly."
Shen Li instantly became the focus of the crowd. Everyone present knew each other, except her.
The pairs of eyes staring at her made her feel a little embarrassed.
Gu Jingcheng held her hand tighter, smiled and solemnly introduced her to his friends: "My wife, Shen Li."
Hearing these words, Song Zhou and Lin Yanqing raised their eyebrows and started to make a noise: "Oh~~~"
"Wife~~~"
Then there was a burst of applause from several people: "Congratulations!"
"Have a baby soon!"
"A happy marriage for a hundred years!"
The people in front of him were too enthusiastic and noisy. Shen Li stood there at a loss for a moment. He never thought that Gu Jingcheng's friend had such a personality.
Qi Ling pushed Song Zhou next to her and brought the topic back: "Stop making trouble, or people will be scared away by you."
Song Zhou made a gesture to collect himself, no longer looking so nonchalant and out of tune, and became serious.
"Hello sister-in-law, I'm Song Zhou, and this is my fiancée Qi Ling."
"This is Lin Yanqing, and he is Wei Ming."
Song Zhou was really a boisterous person, and he introduced everyone present, creating a relaxed and harmonious atmosphere.
Shen Li smiled and responded: "Hello, I'm Shen Li."
I was still worried before coming here, and I didn’t know what kind of people Gu Jingcheng’s friends would be like.
Maybe they were looking down on others and sneering at someone like her who was ordinary and not in the same circle as them? At the moment, it seemed that her worries were unnecessary.
Seeing that she was a little reserved, Qi Ling took the initiative to come over and take her arm, "Don't mind it, Song Zhou is just like that, he talks a lot and is annoying, let's just ignore him, let's go and try the freshly brewed tea."
Then he took Shen Li to the tea table nearby and said, "Try the rose tea. If you don't like it, ask someone to change it."
Shen Li thanked her. The person in front of him was very beautiful, with picturesque eyebrows and eyes, and her every move was gentle and graceful. When Shen Li looked at her, one word came to his mind: a lady from a noble family.
Looking at Song Zhou who was talking nonstop to Gu Jingcheng over there, it was hard to imagine that they were an engaged couple.
When Shen Li looked into Gu Jingcheng's eyes, she found that his gaze was following her, and he was afraid that she would feel uncomfortable.
Song Zhou's arm was already on Gu Jingcheng's shoulder, and he said in a resentful tone: "Brother Cheng, look at me, your wife can't run away, and Qi Ling won't eat her."
After saying that, she didn't forget to complain to Shen Li in a hoarse voice: "Sister-in-law, look, Brother Cheng's eyes are almost growing on you. I haven't seen him for so long and he didn't even look at me."
Shen Li's face flushed immediately. Qi Ling smiled and said softly to Shen Li, "Ignore him. Someone will take care of him."
This “someone” is Gu Jingcheng.
