Gu Zheng nodded in satisfaction, and his tightly furrowed brows relaxed. He said in a domineering voice, “If you’re happy, what should you do?”

Qiao Xi: “…?”

She looked puzzled. “Thank you?” she asked tentatively.

Gu Zheng frowned.

Before this, Song Shiyu had said that a woman’s way of expressing her gratitude to her lover was through a kiss. Hence, Young Madam would definitely give him a kiss in excitement, so he had to be more reserved now.

Gu Zheng said, “Yes, and then?”

And then?

Qiao Xi pondered for a moment, and her voice trembled slightly. “Then… Then I’ll kiss you?”

‘Gu Zheng doesn’t look right. Has he been influenced by Song Shiyu? What’s on his mind?’

Gu Zheng frowned when he heard what she was thinking.

Qiao Xi did not seem to like Song Shiyu’s idea.

Immediately after, he heard something again.

‘What does he mean? He can’t be asking me to kiss him, right? When did Senior become so lustful?’

Gu Zheng could not help but cough to hide the blush on his face. He pretended to be calm and said, “What do you think?”

Qiao Xi grunted coldly in her heart.

‘Hah! Just say it if you want me to kiss you. Why are you beating around the bush?’

Gu Zheng smiled. Not bad. Mrs. Gu was also willing to kiss him. It was just that he did not manage to react in time at first.

‘That’s not right. Why should I thank him?’

Qiao Xi suddenly paused and frowned.

‘If it weren’t for him, how would I have been reported? Yao Mengqing did it for him, and Lin Jie did it for Yao Mengqing. That’s why such a thing happened. The culprit is this bastard, Gu Zheng!

‘It’s only right for him to take revenge for me!’

The smile on Gu Zheng’s face vanished abruptly as he felt disappointed.

After that, the gratitude in Qiao Xi’s heart instantly vanished like smoke. When she was about to turn gentle, she stopped herself in time and hurriedly ran away.

“I suddenly feel like swimming. I’m going to change!”

Song Shiyu, who was hiding in the corner, was speechless.

‘Holy sh*t! I feel embarrassed for the president.’ “President, why don’t you chase after her? After you chase after her, just pull her along and kiss her forcefully. Young Madam will definitely fall under your ferocious attacks! Why are you standing there in such an awkward position?… President, President, where are you going? You’re going the wrong way!”

Gu Zheng walked upstairs.

He pushed open the cloakroom and looked at the bathing suit he had bought for Qiao Xi.

Song Shiyu caught up with him. “President, what are you doing? Why are you…”

“Shut up. Be careful if you want to keep your salary.” Song Shijing stopped him.

Song Shiyu said, “I’m doing this for the president. It doesn’t matter if my salary is deducted. He’ll understand how good I am sooner or later.”

Song Shijing: “…” Fine, forget it.

Just then, Gu Zheng took out the bathing suit. His eyes darkened when he saw the pitiful amount of fabric on it.

At this moment, Qiao Xi was looking for a bathing suit when a male voice came from the door. “Are you sure you want to swim?”

Qiao Xi asked without turning her head, “What’s wrong?”

There was a large pool in the backyard of Longwan Residential. She had always wanted to try it out and it was a good day today.

Gu Zheng’s eyes darkened. “I remember you’re afraid of water.”

Qiao Xi’s body abruptly froze.

That’s right, she was indeed afraid of water. It was because Qiao Rou had pushed her into the lake and she almost drowned, so she had always been afraid of water.

That suffocating feeling had haunted her for many years. She would even wake up from nightmares.

Due to her fear of water, she could not use too much water when bathing. Furthermore, she would feel afraid when walking near a lake or a pool.

When her grandfather and brothers asked her about it, she only said that she did not want to learn to swim. However, she once told her senior that it was because of her childhood trauma.

As long as she saw deep water, the image of her sinking into the water and not being able to even struggle would appear in her mind. Meanwhile, she would see Qiao Rou standing on the shore and laughing out loud. Hence, Qiao Xi hated swimming.

During that time in the countryside, it was her senior who had always been by her side. It was her senior who told her that the only way to defeat fear was to face it head-on.

From then on, she began trying to face it. Even though she was so scared that her body would tremble, she forced herself to adapt. Gradually, she could enter the water and swim. She even enjoyed it.

Seeing that she was silent, Gu Zheng stroked her head.

After that, he handed two exquisite bags to Qiao Xi. His ears were slightly red, and he silently looked away so that Qiao Xi could not see his expression..
