He slunk away, squeezing through the gap in the sofa.
Lu Qi took Yun Suni from her hands, bent down and carried her in a princess carry, displaying maximum boyfriend power.
Cheng Qicai's eyes lit up as she watched Lu Qi easily carry the female lead through the crowd, then jogged after them.
As expected of the male lead, he was indeed strong and powerful. Cheng Qicai's gaze couldn't help but drift to Lu Qi's abdomen.
Because Lu Qi received a call from Cheng Qicai, he came out in a hurry, wearing only a white shirt. Cheng Qicai assured him through the light and shadow that Lu Qi was definitely a CEO with abs.
Halfway through the drive, Cheng Qicai suddenly felt a sharp pain in her stomach. She wondered if there was something wrong with the pizza she had eaten before leaving. She felt cold sweat breaking out from the pain.
She immediately stopped the car, clutching her stomach, and said to Lu Qi, "Brother Lu, take my cousin home first. My stomach hurts a bit, and I can't hold it in anymore."
After saying that, she hurriedly closed the car door, hunched over, and rushed towards the convenience store next door.
Lu Qi looked at Yun Su Ni, who was frowning and looking very uncomfortable in the car, and started the car anyway.
Before leaving, she kindly sent Cheng Qicai a message: [Let me know when you get home.]
When Cheng Qicai came out of the store after a bout of diarrhea, she felt refreshed, but her stomach felt empty.
She happened to be using a convenience store as her restroom, so she bought a few snacks there before paying and leaving, completely satisfied.
She saw Lu Qi's message when she paid and replied with "[Okay.]"
She couldn't help but think to herself that the male lead wasn't the autocratic and self-centered person Gu Liji described.
She saw that the taxi she had booked through the app was still far away, so she squatted down in front of the convenience store, eating oden and waiting.
Suddenly, she paused in her action of biting the fish ball, and caught a familiar figure out of the corner of her eye.
Upon closer inspection, it was indeed Gu Rongqi.
How could he stand there all by himself?
Cheng Qicai looked around but didn't see the secretary, anyone else, or any car.
After waiting for a while, she saw that Gu Rongqi was still standing there, motionless, like a fool.
She took out her phone and checked; the driver wouldn't arrive for another four or five minutes.
She jogged up to Gu Rongqi and asked, "Mr. Gu, why are you here all alone?"
Gu Rongqi stared at her with a cold, stern gaze, his expression unsmiling.
Um?
Cheng Qicai's nostrils twitched, and she immediately covered her mouth and nose.
Why does it smell so strongly of alcohol? It's making her want to vomit.
Are you drunk? Who did you come with?
Gu Rongqi remained silent.
Cheng Qicai stayed with him until the taxi driver arrived, but no one else came.
But she figured that a grown man like him wouldn't get into any trouble, so she opened the back door and prepared to go back.
Unexpectedly, the man who hadn't answered her questions earlier got into the car with her without saying a word.
"Mr. Gu, what brings you up here?"
