Chapter 33: Chapter 033 Overbearing CEO and His Delicate Wife
After all, having studied shooting and fencing for so many years, Qi Yue usually appeared careless but became quite imposing once she cooled down.
The girl still seemed a bit unconvinced, and her friend tugged at her sleeve, trying to persuade her, “Let it go, that woman is clearly not someone to mess with…”
Probably realizing she was in the wrong and wouldn’t get away with making a scene, the girl muttered “Stingy” and turned her head away, refusing to speak.
After Qi Yue’s warning, the stares in the subway car immediately became much less bold.
People are like that; the more vulnerable you seem, the more unscrupulous they become.
Previously, Qi Yue had even helped a girl on the subway who encountered sexual harassment and didn’t dare to retaliate.
Even though Gu Huai was a man and the situation wasn’t that serious,
Qi Yue had initially simply shielded him a bit without saying anything, but the girl’s unjust accusation had triggered her anger.
The “clearly not someone to mess with” Qi Yue then withdrew her gaze and looked up towards Gu Huai with slight embarrassment, lowered her voice, and said softly, “Sorry, I noticed someone taking pictures and was afraid my words wouldn’t help, so I spontaneously pretended to be your girlfriend…”
She looked very confident, but in reality, she was incredibly nervous. If Gu Huai called her out, that would be truly embarrassing.
Gu Huai watched the girl who had stood in front of him, looking fierce as if she was protecting him, like a small animal guarding its food. A smile spread in his eyes as he spoke softly, “No need to apologize, I should be the one to thank you… thanks for helping me out, girlfriend.”
“Cough cough…” Qi Yue almost choked on her saliva when she heard the word “girlfriend.”
As expected of the boss, he got into the role way too quickly…
…
Some fifteen minutes later, they finally arrived at the shopping mall.
The mall Qi Yue had chosen was newly opened and upscale, with a wide variety of stores.
Qi Yue led Gu Huai directly to the men’s section via the elevator.
This floor had everything a man could need.
“Big Shot, what do you like? Pick anything! The bill’s on me! Shirts, ties, or maybe shoes?”
Qi Yue brought Gu Huai to the front of a clothing store.
She had done some research, and it seemed that this brand was quite popular with the younger crowd.
Seeing Qi Yue’s generous demeanor, Gu Huai chuckled, “Really? I can choose anything? What if I spend a whole month’s living expenses of President Qi?”
Qi Yue immediately said, “What’s a month’s living expenses? It’s fine as long as you like it!”
Hm?
Why was she getting more and more into the role of a domineering CEO?
Thinking this, Qi Yue couldn’t help but laugh and said, “Big Shot, you always call me President Qi, I almost think I’m a domineering CEO taking my secretary to buy gifts after work!”
Upon hearing this, Gu Huai raised an eyebrow slightly, “Secretary… why not a little wife?”
Qi Yue immediately went into a coughing fit again; the boss really had the speed of a 5G network, even knowing about the domineering CEO and little wife jokes.
“What’s the difference between a secretary and a little wife?” Qi Yue asked subconsciously.
Gu Huai glanced at her and said casually, “Of course, there’s a difference; a secretary has no status, but a little wife has status.”
Qi Yue scratched her head, “Uh…”
Although what he said was not wrong…
But the boss’s focus was indeed peculiar…
