In her past life, Qiao Xi was deceived by her wicked stepfather and stepmother, not only causing the death of her most beloved relative but also killing the man who loved her more than life itself!...
Qi Jincheng didn't mind their stares at all; instead, he would occasionally steal glances at the person in his arms with a doting expression.
Qiao Xi didn't dare show her face, so she could only let Qi Jincheng lead her away.
She felt like she had walked quite a distance, but they hadn't even entered the elevator yet. She couldn't help but ask softly, "Honey, are we almost there?"
"Right away." Qi Jincheng put his arm around her and continued walking forward.
Once inside the elevator, she felt relieved and peeked out, knowing that this was Qi Jincheng's private elevator and no one else would come in.
However, after stepping out of the elevator, Qiao Xi instinctively snuggled into his arms, tugging at his clothes and following his steps.
This floor is almost inaccessible to anyone except the shareholders and the secretary, but for safety's sake, Qiao Xi hid herself away.
I finally reached the office door, only to be blocked by a figure.
"President." He Fan waited for Qi Jincheng at the door with a document that urgently needed his signature, knowing that Qi Jincheng had gone out and had not yet returned.
On the other hand, he was curious about who the president had picked up, so he deliberately waited here. Otherwise, he would usually leave the door unlocked on his desk.
Qiao Xi thought she had arrived at the office, so she showed her face, only to find out it was He Fan.
He Fan was also astonished when he saw her, "Madam?"
There was no one else around except He Fan, so Qiao Xi greeted him with a relieved smile, "Hello, Assistant He."
"President, are you going to pick up Madam?" He Fan recovered from his astonishment.
This question didn't seem to be one he should be asking, and He Fan quickly realized this. He then changed the subject and handed over the document, saying, "Please sign this document."
Qi Jincheng always carried the pen Qiao Xi had given him, which was tucked into the breast pocket of his suit jacket.
Qiao Xi hadn't noticed it at all until she saw him take the pen off to sign.
After signing the document, Qi Jincheng handed it back to He Fan, who respectfully replied, "Then I'll go do my work."
Qiao Xi smiled and waved goodbye to him again, "Take care, Assistant He."
Before she finished speaking, Qi Jincheng gently pushed her into the office, and after she went in, he made sure to lock the door behind him.
However, He Fan knew that they would not come in casually, nor would they allow others to disturb them.
In her past life, Qiao Xi spent a period of time in Qi Jincheng's office. During that time, she was imprisoned by Qi Jincheng and not allowed to go anywhere. Qi Jincheng took her with him wherever he went, including to the company.
However, she had never really looked around properly before. Now that she saw it, it was truly extravagant; one of the offices was as big as an entire house.
Qiao Xi walked up to his luxurious desk. At this moment, she especially wanted to experience the joy of being the president of Dihua Group.
After giving Qi Jincheng a mischievous look, Qiao Xi quickly sat down in his office chair. In that instant, she felt a sense of elevation, and she couldn't help but exclaim, "So this is the happiness of being the president of Dihua Group!"
Qi Jincheng suddenly grabbed the armrest of the chair, turned it slightly so that Qiao Xi was facing him, and leaned down to ask, "Xi'er, are you happy?"
After sitting down and experiencing the different positions of the chair, Qiao Xi replied, "It's quite comfortable to sit in."
Qi Jincheng didn't say anything, only gave her a doting smile.
Qiao Xi's eyes caught sight of the little penguin jumping in the lower right corner of his computer screen, and she suddenly felt an urge to click on it and take a look.
She smiled and asked Qi Jincheng for his opinion, "May I take a look? It's not a company secret or anything, is it?"
Qi Jincheng proactively opened it for her, saying, "Take a look."
Qiao Xi eagerly joined the chat. It was a group chat with messages coming in one after another. [Did you all see this?]
What do you see?
[The CEO and a mysterious woman!]
【Isn't that our CEO's wife?!】
Is it necessary for the CEO's wife to do this?
[If not, then what is this woman's relationship with our CEO?]
Of course, it's that kind of relationship.
Are they talking about her and Qi Jincheng?
Qiao Xi glanced at the group name, 'The Secret Garden of Goddesses'?
Soon another message popped up: "No way, if our CEO's wife finds out, wouldn't that be..."
[That's right. Our CEO's wife isn't an ordinary person; she's the heiress of the prestigious Jinghua family. She's a perfect match for our CEO, and he would never openly act like this with another woman.]
I believe our CEO is definitely not that kind of person!
Did you see it was a woman?
Although I couldn't see her face clearly, judging from her figure, she should be a woman, right?
That's hard to say.
Could it be a man?
"Pfft..." Upon seeing this, Qiao Xi couldn't help but burst out laughing.
Moreover, judging from their chat content, they should be employees of the Dihua Group. What they call the "secret garden of goddesses" is actually just a place for gossip.
The following messages were all discussing whether their CEO liked men, which made Qiao Xi both laugh and cry.
At this moment, Qi Jincheng was sitting next to Qiao Xi, flipping through the documents on the table. He was not looking at the messages in the group chat.
Qiao Xi praised his employees in front of him, "Honey, aren't your employees so adorable?"
Qi Jincheng could roughly guess what they were talking about without even reading the chat content, and said calmly, "Chatting during work hours, it's time to take some measures."
"Isn't this break time?" Qiao Xi winked at him, reminding him.
Qi Jincheng closed the last document and asked her, "What would you like to eat?"
"Just grab something to eat?" Qiao Xi asked for his opinion.
"Then I'll have Assistant He prepare." With that, he picked up his phone and instructed He Fan.
Qiao Xi continued reading the chat, when suddenly, a very real question came to her mind: they probably didn't know their CEO was in this group, right?
If they knew, would they dare to discuss it so openly?
Then the answer is quite certain.
Qiao Xi squinted and teased Qi Jincheng with a mischievous smile, "Honey, you're so naughty. You actually infiltrated their group without anyone noticing."
Qi Jincheng did not deny it, saying, "It makes it easier for me to get some timely information."
Qiao Xi nodded in agreement, saying, "That's right. Employees who don't like gossip aren't good employees. They're often the ones with the best information."
As soon as she finished speaking, she saw Qi Jincheng looking at her with a scrutinizing gaze. "Why are you looking at me like that?"
Qi Jincheng suddenly frowned, and said with a puzzled look, "Xi'er doesn't look like a man."
