Reborn and fleeing for his life, he unexpectedly knocks on the door of the prince of Beijing's

A rare hint of anger appeared on Xi Yu's usually cool and handsome face.

"Sheng Sheng is my family, Young Master Gong, you'd better not joke about her."

"Family?" Gong Xiaochen scoffed. "That day on the cruise ship, when I saw her being bullied, Young Master Xi didn't seem to care at all. Why are you suddenly so anxious now?"

Xi Yu: "......"

"It seems being in the family of Young Master Xi isn't easy." Gong Xiaochen exhaled a puff of smoke and then nodded seriously. "Or maybe it's because Young Master Xi is a heartless person when it comes to women. He doesn't dare to say a word in front of his girlfriend and can only bully his younger sister when he's young."

Even with his good temper, Xi Yu's expression changed when faced with such blatant mockery.

"My family affairs are none of your concern, Young Master Gong," he said coldly.

Gong Xiaochen said in an extremely indifferent tone, "Then my family affairs are none of Young Master Xi's business."

The atmosphere froze instantly.

Xi Yu also lit a cigarette and took a few puffs before calming down.

He said, "I know this request is a bit overstepping my bounds, but I have to take care of Wen Shengsheng's affairs."

Gong Xiaochen: "If my employees want to leave, there are only two possibilities: either they want to leave on their own, or I fire them. No one can poach people from me."

Xi Yu: "Can't we discuss this?"

Gong Xiaochen: "There's absolutely no room for negotiation!"

Xi Yu: "She was just a junior employee, her departure won't affect the overall situation."

Gong Xiaochen: "Do you know how much effort, money, and resources the company spends training a new employee? I've just nurtured this little cabbage until it's grown into a beautiful young lady, and you've already snatched her away?"

Xi Yu was so choked up that he couldn't say a word.

Wen Shengsheng was incredibly stubborn, but Gong Xiaochen was an even tougher opponent.

He silently lit a cigarette, his once clear eyes now appearing as if veiled by a thick layer of haze, dimming slightly.

After a long time, he said.

"Since Young Master Gong doesn't agree, then let's just forget about it. But if Sheng Sheng encounters any problems in the future, please let me know as soon as possible so that I can protect her."

Gong Xiaochen nodded slightly, his gaze indifferent and languid.

......

Wen Shengsheng pressed her entire body against Gong Xiaochen's bedroom door, straining her ears to listen to the sounds downstairs.

You can hear them talking, but you can't make out what they're saying.

After listening for a while, she realized that the conversation seemed to be getting closer and closer, and Xi Yu's cold voice clearly entered her ears through the door.

Wen Shengsheng jumped up like a startled deer and then started circling around Gong Xiaochen's bedroom, looking for a hiding place.

After looking around, she suddenly noticed that the bathroom door was still open. Without thinking, she rushed in.

Unexpectedly, Gong Xiaochen had just taken a shower, and the bathroom floor was slippery. She ran too fast and tripped and fell on her bottom, hitting her elbow hard on the ground.

"what!"

In the hallway outside the bedroom.

Xi Yu, holding the document, paused for a moment. After confirming that it was a woman's voice, he looked at Gong Xiaochen beside him with an ambiguous gaze.

Gong Xiaochen, who had been languidly sitting, paused slightly.

He glanced around the bedroom, then turned to Xi Yu.

"I've given you the information about Yuming Manor. You can leave now. My cat is getting impatient and is urging me. Young Master Xi, please don't stay here and be a third wheel."

Xi Yu smiled.

Given Gong Xiaochen's status, it's not surprising that he would keep a mistress.

It's just that I haven't seen him with a woman in all these years, so I am indeed a little curious.

*

After seeing off the uninvited guest, Gong Xiaochen quickly returned to his bedroom.

Wen Shengsheng was sitting on the toilet, hugging her elbows and looking pained.

When he opened the door, her wet eyes immediately looked over.

"Brother Yu is gone?"

Gong Xiaochen walked to her side, pushed her hand away, and when he saw the way her elbow had hit her, his eyes darkened.

"Look how scared you are! Did you throw all that energy you had when you confronted him this afternoon to the dogs?"

"It's not that I'm scared, it's that I don't want to have too much contact with him, and it's best if he knows nothing about my affairs."

Gong Xiaochen bent down and picked her up.

"My hand is injured, not my leg, why are you hugging me?!" Wen Shengsheng exclaimed in surprise.

Gong Xiaochen ignored her, carried her downstairs, found the first-aid kit, took out iodine and cotton swabs, and treated her wounds.

"You're being so resolute. You can't face the reality of unrequited love?"

Wen Shengsheng was slightly taken aback before realizing that he was still talking about the same topic.

So he scoffed and said, "There's no need to be so sarcastic. I'm not from the same world as you rich kids, so why bother with me?"

Gong Xiaochen's eyes darkened, and he pressed the cotton swab, which was covered in iodine, hard against the wound on Wen Shengsheng's elbow.

"hiss..."

Wen Shengsheng winced in pain.

"You still know pain?" he said coolly.

"Of course, try hitting it yourself." Wen Shengsheng said, sounding a little aggrieved.

"Then shut up and say less!"

The next moment, a refreshing breeze blew onto Wen Shengsheng's wound, bringing a cool sensation along with a feeling similar to a slight electric current passing through it, as if countless tiny ants were slowly crawling on the wound.

Wen Shengsheng felt a tickle in her heart and unconsciously looked at Gong Xiaochen's handsome profile.

His sword-like eyebrows slanted upwards towards his temples, and his eyes held a seemingly cold and aloof gaze, yet also revealed a subtle and barely perceptible tenderness.

Wen Shengsheng only looked away when Gong Xiaochen looked up at her.

"You keep peeking at me while I'm showering, Wen Shengsheng, are you really interested in me?"

"I wasn't peeking at you, you must have mistaken me." She stubbornly insisted.

Gong Xiaochen threw the cotton swab in his hand and leaned in, gently touching Wen Shengsheng's delicate nose with the tip of his straight nose, his eyes filled with aggression.

"What are you doing?" Wen Shengsheng asked in surprise.

"I'll show you, so you won't have to sneak around like that."

As he spoke, his leisurely breath landed on Wen Shengsheng's face, making her heart race. She hurriedly pushed him away.

"I am going tocook."

Gong Xiaochen grabbed her arm. "What are you cooking? You're all bruised and battered. Let's go out to eat."

Since the big boss had given the order, Wen Shengsheng naturally couldn't refuse. She tidied herself up, changed into a dress, and followed Gong Xiaochen out the door.

Hemu Restaurant is a Michelin-starred restaurant located in a hutong (traditional alleyway). It has been listed for four consecutive years and specializes in Chinese cuisine, which is exquisite and elegant.

When Gong Xiaochen arrived, the restaurant owner personally greeted him and arranged the best dining spot for him with a big smile.

In a corner, it is both private and spacious.

The two were eating when a loud whistle rang out.

Wen Shengsheng looked in the direction of the sound.

It's He Yu.

He was also dining here, and at that moment he was watching the two of them with a knowing smile.

Wen Shengsheng couldn't help but feel nervous.

Gong Xiaochen wiped his mouth. "I'll go say hello to him. You eat first."

Wen Shengsheng nodded.

He Yu's relationship with Xi Yu is so-so, but he gets along well with Jiao Yang and Lu Jie. He saw this today, and I wonder if it will reach Xi Yu's ears. I hope Gong Xiaochen can tell him.

Wen Shengsheng was feeling somewhat uneasy.

“Sheng Sheng”.

A familiar voice came from the side.

She turned her head and looked.

It was Su Yun.
