Since Han Lingxi had walked here instead of driving, Gu Jingchen quickly caught up with her.
Gu Jingchen ran over and grabbed Han Lingxi, who struggled angrily.
"Okay, Xi'er, don't be angry anymore. It was my fault. I didn't answer your call because I was in a meeting and didn't have my phone with me. I promise it won't happen again, okay? From now on, I will always carry my phone with me and I will never miss your call again."
Gu Jingchen spoke to Han Lingxi in a tone used to coax a child.
“I’m not a child, I don’t need you to coax me. Gu Jingchen, don’t you think your methods are despicable? You’re only being nice to me so that my dad will invest in me.”
Han Lingxi's words were somewhat hurtful, but she was so angry that she spoke without thinking and didn't care about anything else.
Gu Jingchen also realized that Han Lingxi wasn't just throwing a tantrum; she was genuinely angry.
"Xi'er, what are you saying?"
Gu Jingchen asked, puzzled.
"Aren't you only being so nice to me because my dad is helping you? Don't you already have a girlfriend?"
Han Lingxi felt that what she had just said was a bit too much, but there was nothing she could do, so she decided to be unreasonable for once and try to divert Gu Jingchen's attention.
"I do need Uncle Han's help, but this is a business matter and has nothing to do with how I treat you. I'm only nice to you because I want to, and how could I possibly have another girlfriend?"
Gu Jingchen gave a very sincere explanation.
"Your company's receptionist stopped me downstairs and said that your girlfriend is Song Zhiyu. Moreover, I just called your company and Song Zhiyu hung up on me. If she's not your girlfriend, how dare she do that?"
Hearing Han Lingxi's words, Gu Jingchen's face darkened. Once, Song Zhiyu took the wrong elevator, but he didn't hold it against her. When they got out of the elevator, Song Zhiyu tripped and fell. He caught her, and when people in the company saw it, rumors spread that Song Zhiyu was his girlfriend.
"Those are just rumors spread by people in the company. I have no relationship with Song Zhiyu whatsoever."
Gu Jingchen felt that he couldn't explain himself even if he had a mouth.
"No relation? Wasn't it her who slept with you six months ago?"
"yes."
Realizing he was wrong, Gu Jingchen quickly changed his tune.
"No, she just hugged me, nothing else happened."
Gu Jingchen now only wanted to swear to the heavens to prove that what he said was true.
Han Lingxi had just mentioned it casually; she actually already knew from the system that nothing had happened between Song Zhiyu and Gu Jingchen half a year ago.
Having no other choice, Gu Jingchen pulled Han Lingxi into the Shengyang Building.
What are you doing?
Han Lingxi was startled by his sudden action.
"Of course, it's to show them who the president's wife is, so you won't suspect I have another girlfriend, right?"
Gu Jingchen put his arm around Han Lingxi's shoulder, pulling her close to him.
"Who knows? Even if you have a hundred girlfriends, your employees wouldn't dare say anything."
Gu Jingchen was speechless, but fortunately the elevator opened at that moment, easing his embarrassment.
As Gu Jingchen and Han Lingxi stepped out of the elevator, they saw Song Zhiyu standing outside the president's office, holding a cup of coffee in her hand.
"Oh, so this is your legendary assistant girlfriend?"
"No, she's just an assistant, not a girlfriend."
Seeing Song Zhiyu, Gu Jingchen's expression turned sour. He hadn't forgotten the phone call Song Zhiyu had hung up on him in front of him.
"Oh, so you're the assistant."
Han Lingxi said, enunciating each word clearly.
