Gong Jue couldn't help but put down his fountain pen.
He stretched out his hand and scooped that small gift box.
He remembered that in the Imperial Capital, he had spent an astounding amount to buy this small gift at an auction house that specialized in selling rare jade stones.
Money wasn't important.
The more important thing was that even though the jewelry wasn't suitable for her, this little thing could be used for her schooling.
It was her first day in university. She needed something to show her worth while sitting at her desk.
In a place like the Imperial Capital where fame and wealth gathered and influential people came from all walks of life, if you couldn't prove their worth, there would always be some blind flies and smelly bugs that would pounce on you and provoke you.
Gong Jue curved his lips.
Thinking that he would be able to receive the shirt that Gu Qiqi had personally selected very soon, the corners of his lips couldn't help but curl up.
Although that shirt was white and the size wasn't necessarily appropriate…
However, gifts were a gesture of goodwill.
It wasn't appropriate this time, but it would be appropriate next time when she had experience.
It was time to let her know his correct size.
Gong Jue looked at the gift box over and over again. When he realized that the purple ribbon was a little loose, he untied the ribbon and tied it again with his own hands.
But he had never given a girl a gift before. He was so clumsy that he didn't know how to tie the bow.
In the end, he simply tied the gift box like a piece of tofu using the method of packing computer chips…
It even looked a little stupid.
Chief Gong was busy with the small gift box when Special Assistant Lu—who had completed ten laps—entered. He was stunned.
He knocked on the door awkwardly. "Reporting to Chief, is there a need to monitor Young Lady Qiqi's phone?"
"There's no need. She's not a prisoner."
"Oh." Special Assistant Lu fiddled with the monitoring device in his hand. "A man called in just now… I'll switch it off now. I'm not listening anymore…"
"Wait!"
Gong Jue frowned slightly. "What man? Let me hear it!"
Wasn't that Little Master Xiao Ning from last time a woman?
Where did this wild man come from?
The monitoring apparatus in this seaside research base was much inferior to the monitoring apparatus used by the research and development laboratory in their headquarters. The signal along the seaside was also unstable.
He heard intermittent voices.
"…I received the shirt and handkerchief that you sent over. I love it…"
"…It's good that you like it. I specially selected it for you. It's pure white and suits you very well…"
"Can I join you?"
"…I promise you that I will give you the best in this lifetime…"
Although Gu Qiqi's voice was intermittent in the receiver, one could still hear the strong conviction and affection in it.
That man's voice was young and it was filled with an indescribable attachment to her.
It was so piercing that Gong Jue's eardrums nearly burst.
Special Assistant Lu was trembling in fear. He didn't even dare to breathe loudly.
He felt a little regretful for being too loyal.
He didn't know if Chief could withstand this stimulation.
That man's shirt that Young Lady Qiqi bought was actually for another man!
He secretly looked up at Gong Jue.
Gong Jue's face was dark, but he pursed his thin lips tightly and didn't say a word.
He knew very well that this didn't mean that Gong Jue wasn't angry and didn't care.
Instead, this was the calm before the storm!
"Master Jue, do you want me to check that man's identity and see if he's Young Lady Qiqi's friend or something like that… He's just a boy who is fickle-minded. He's easy to get rid of…"
Special Assistant Lu thought about it. Only by breaking up an affectionate couple would Young Lady Qiqi have the time to take a look at his chief.
But what he didn't expect was…
Gong Jue said coldly, "What's there to check? Investigating that kind of brat will lower my status!"
After speaking, he punched the monitoring device.
The machine, which already had poor reception, completely collapsed.
He turned around and threw that exquisite gift box into the rubbish bin!
Gong Jue swore that he would never send a woman a gift in this lifetime!
Damn it!
