Gu Zheng remained composed as the corners of his mouth twitched lazily.

Qiao Xi instantly felt her hair stand on end.

‘What is this bastard smiling about?! He’s scaring me to death!’

Gu Zheng put an arm around her waist and went to the lounge. He sat on the sofa and asked casually, “Are you hungry?”

Qiao Xi nodded abruptly. She wanted to eat barbecue and spicy food, but Gu Zheng would definitely not let her. Moreover, he might not even let her kiss him. Hence, she smiled obsequiously and said, “Ah Zheng, you decide. I’ll listen to you!”

Gu Zheng chuckled. “Then… let’s have a barbecue.”

Qiao Xi nodded lightly, then her entire body suddenly froze.

Wait, did she hear wrongly?

How did Gu Zheng know that she wanted to eat barbecue? Even in her dreams, she had been dreaming of eating barbecue.

She even wondered if Gu Zheng could read her mind. How could he guess what she wanted to eat?

Qiao Xi was excited to the point of almost jumping up and down. She was on the verge of crying from joy.

Gu Zheng’s eyes were full of smiles.

Mrs. Gu was so cute. It was actually very easy to make her happy!

The man straightened his body and cleared his throat, waiting for Mrs. Gu’s response.

After calming down, Qiao Xi found it a little strange. Gu Zheng had never liked barbecue. Why would he suddenly say he wanted to eat barbecue?

Gu Zheng sat there with his eyes narrowed.

‘He doesn’t like smoky environments and finds it very unhygienic. Previously when I said that I wanted to eat barbecue, he would always refuse without hesitation.’

She propped her chin and thought about it carefully. Suddenly, she came to a realization.

‘Could it be…’

Gu Zheng curled his lips. Was Mrs. Gu very touched? She knew that he did not like barbecue, but he was still willing to go for her sake.

The president, who had always been cold, felt that he was making his feelings very obvious. Mrs. Gu would definitely love him more.

Qiao Xi suddenly looked at him.

‘Could it be that he has bought over a barbecue chain and wants to bring me to taste the food? Is Gu Corporation involved in such a wide range of businesses nowadays? He even wants to venture into barbecue restaurants?’

Gu Zheng: “…”

He was speechless.

Mrs. Gu was indeed crazy. He would have to bring her to the hospital someday.

However, no matter what the reason was, she was already thankful that she could eat barbecue.

She pulled Gu Zheng along and was about to leave when Gu Zheng suddenly stopped in his tracks. “Mrs. Gu.”

“What’s wrong?”

His expression was calm as he slowly lowered his head, his hot breath spraying on her face.

His cold voice was exceptionally gentle at this moment. “I almost forgot to kiss you.”

As soon as he finished speaking, he placed a hand on the back of her head and planted a gentle kiss on her soft lips.

Qiao Xi’s eyes widened as her mind went blank and her heart pounded violently.

What did this man mean? Was he kissing her to let her recover her taste buds, or was it just a kiss?

Why did he suddenly want to kiss her?

‘Holy sh*t! Is this bastard trying to seduce me?’

Hiss!

Gu Zheng bit her lip, and the stinging pain made her collect her thoughts.

At this moment, Gu Zheng’s eyes were burning. His hair fell across his forehead and hung lazily in front of his eyes, adding a trace of lingering and ambiguity.

Qiao Xi’s entire body was wobbly and soft. Her body leaned weakly against Gu Zheng’s body as if she could only steady herself by hugging him.

Gu Zheng was not satisfied with a single kiss. From being gentle at the start, he started becoming wanton and forceful. It was not until Qiao Xi began to struggle that the kiss ended.

A gentle kiss landed on her forehead and neck.

Qiao Xi’s thoughts were in a mess and she had completely lost her mind. She even forgot to breathe.

She gasped for breath and said, “Gu…”

Just then, an inappropriate voice interrupted her.

“Gu Zheng, I want to eat barbecue too! Bring me along!”

Gu Yao barged in and pushed open the door, smiling like a silly prodigal son of a rich family.

Gu Zheng: “…”

‘Tell me, how do you want to die?’

Although Gu Yao often fooled around outside, he was still an innocent boy. He had never been in a relationship and did not know what the two of them were doing just now.

The first thing he saw was Gu Zheng hugging Qiao Xi tightly. Qiao Xi’s eyes were like spring water, her lips were red, and her eyes even carried a trace of confusion?

Gu Yao said, “Qiao Xi, your lips are so red. You’re wearing lipstick? Don’t bother putting on makeup anymore, I’m starving. Let’s go eat barbecue!”

Qiao Xi: “…”

Gu Yao suddenly thought of something and frowned..
