"Du Fei, I say you're not much of a friend. With such a beautiful girlfriend, why hide her away? Are you afraid I'll steal her?"
After the manager left, Gong Chengbin looked at Du Fei beside him, speaking in a teasing tone.
Du Fei rolled his eyes at him, "Shishi isn't my girlfriend. It wouldn't be good if she heard you say that, she's a girl after all."
"Oh my, oh my," Gong Chengbin said with an exaggerated expression, "You call her Shishi so affectionately. Even if she's not your girlfriend, your relationship must be unusual! With such a beautiful girl, if you don't pursue her, I won't be polite."
Immediately, when Gong Chengbin saw Du Fei looking at him coldly, he quickly raised his hands and pretended to surrender, "Just kidding, just kidding."
Although Gong Chengbin's words were not serious, having known him for so long, Du Fei knew his character well.
Therefore, he wouldn't get angry with him over such a small matter.
"Right, Du Fei, you're also one of the chairmen of Tian Kun Group. Yet you don't care at all about the company's preparations. Your heart is too big."
After their banter, Gong Chengbin started talking about serious matters.
Tian Kun Group was a company jointly invested by Gong Chengbin and Su Hao's couple.
Since both parties held fifty percent of the shares, the company was established with dual chairmen. One was Gong Chengbin, and the other was naturally Du Fei.
Although the joint venture company was not established long ago, Su Hao's couple had money and Gong Chengbin had connections, so the company had already taken shape.
In another month at most, they planned to officially hold a ribbon-cutting ceremony to open for business.
As a result, Du Fei had never even visited once, which was why Gong Chengbin was complaining.
Du Fei said nonchalantly, "Isn't there you, the great Young Master Gong, watching over it? What do I have to worry about? Besides, this company is a project for you to prove yourself to your father and challenge your brother. You must be going all out, so I have even less to worry about."
Seeing that Du Fei had him completely cornered, Gong Chengbin pointed at him and panted heavily several times before finally saying, "Good, good, good. Du Fei, you're really something!"
However, he couldn't do anything about Du Fei because the facts were indeed as he said.
Just then, Du Fei's ears twitched.
"Wait for me here for a moment. I'm going inside."
With his keen hearing, Du Fei heard movement inside the room. He told Gong Chengbin to wait, then pushed open the door and went in.
After opening the door, Du Fei did not immediately enter the inner room but stood in the small living room outside for a moment.
Soon, Liu Shishi walked out from inside.
As soon as she saw Du Fei standing outside, Liu Shishi called out softly, "Du Fei."
"How are you, are you alright now?"
Liu Shishi had just woken up. Her expression was slightly lazy, and her hair was messily spread out.
Du Fei was mesmerized for a moment, unable to look away.
Hearing Du Fei's question, Liu Shishi immediately recalled what had happened before.
Instantly, she couldn't help but feel a lingering fear.
If Du Fei hadn't appeared then, she would have already been defiled by that shameless scoundrel.
What pained Liu Shishi the most was that her second uncle, Liu Yuanhao, was one of the accomplices. It was truly unbelievable.
For a mere ten million, Liu Yuanhao had gone mad and handed her over to Gu Jiaming. Was money really more important than family?
Thinking of this, Liu Shishi's expression became a little sad.
"What's wrong? Are you still feeling unwell anywhere?"
Du Fei didn't know all that. When he saw Liu Shishi's expression, he immediately took a step forward and asked with concern.
Liu Shishi waved her hand, "I'm fine... ah."
Then, because she was too close to Du Fei, she felt a bit uncomfortable and wanted to take two steps back.
Unexpectedly, her leg hit the edge of the sofa, and she lost her balance, falling backward.
Seeing this, Du Fei instinctively reached out to grab Liu Shishi.
With a pull, Liu Shishi was pulled back into Du Fei's arms, and they ended up face to face.
Looking at the exquisite face so close to him, Du Fei was momentarily lost.
Liu Shishi, breathing in Du Fei's masculine aura, also felt her heart race, her blush spreading from her neck to her face.
"Du Fei, are you alright... Sorry, sorry!"
Just as the two were in an indescribable atmosphere, someone suddenly pushed the door open.
The first thing Gong Chengbin saw when he opened the door was Du Fei and Liu Shishi standing face to face.
He immediately apologized and then closed the door as quickly as possible and left.
Swoosh.
Liu Shishi's face turned even redder.
Du Fei, on the other hand, cursed Gong Chengbin to the high heavens in his heart.
But facing Liu Shishi, he could only say, "You tidy yourself up first, I'll wait for you outside."
Liu Shishi grunted, but she didn't dare to look up at Du Fei.
Du Fei opened the door and walked out.
As soon as Gong Chengbin saw Du Fei come out, he immediately said with a face full of apology, "I'm sorry, Du Fei, I, I really didn't know you two were... you know... inside. I heard a noise and thought something had happened. Brother, I really didn't do it on purpose."
Gong Chengbin's apology was very sincere, making Du Fei feel like crying and laughing.
Du Fei: "I say, Gong Chengbin, what are you talking about? Shishi and I weren't doing anything in there. Don't go thinking nonsense!"
"Yes, yes, yes, you two weren't doing anything, and I didn't see anything just now."
Gong Chengbin nodded vigorously, agreeing repeatedly.
However, Du Fei saw an expression on his face that said, "You think I'm a child."
Forget it, no matter what he said now, Gong Chengbin wouldn't believe him. Let him be.
Du Fei originally intended to explain a couple of things, but looking at Gong Chengbin's appearance, he knew that no matter what he said, the other party wouldn't believe him.
A few minutes later, Liu Shishi came out from inside.
"Sister-in-law, I'm really sorry about just now."
Just as Du Fei thought the matter was over, Gong Chengbin's sudden remark made Liu Shishi blush furiously again, and Du Fei was so angry he couldn't help but step forward and punch him.
"Gong Chengbin! Stop spouting nonsense!"
Du Fei yelled.
Liu Shishi was already feeling awkward, and after being called "sister-in-law" by Gong Chengbin, she couldn't even lift her head.
In the end, Liu Shishi didn't say a word until they left the Emperor Entertainment Club.
Originally, Du Fei wanted to take a taxi to send Liu Shishi home, but Gong Chengbin, feeling guilty, directly handed his car keys to Du Fei and asked him to drive Liu Shishi home.
"Alright, then you take a taxi back. I'll return the car to you another day."
Du Fei was not polite with Gong Chengbin and directly took the keys.
Du Fei originally wanted to send Liu Shishi home, but Liu Shishi said she wanted to go to her best friend's place. Du Fei nodded.
