Remember Self-Control: Bossy Husband Loves Me Deep to Soul

Chapter 50: From Lovers to Friends



Si Wan could no longer stand staying there and chatting with Gong Siming about trifles. Besides, she could sense his embarrassment. Thus, Si Wan raised her voice.

“President Gong, if you don’t have further instructions, I should get back to work.”

Never had he noticed Si Wan’s voice was so pleasant. She no longer sounded inanimate as before.

He rose to his feet, returned to his desk, and waved without looking up, signaling to Si Wan to leave.

When she reached the door, she suddenly remembered her promise to Grandfather Gong that she would thank Gong Siming in person.

As she turned back, her clear and pleasant voice rang.

“Oh, by the way, I like your present a lot, thank you!”

As he suddenly looked up, his glamorous and seductive face showed a hint of astonishment. He glanced at her in confusion.

The answer was clearer now. Grandpa Gong must have given those daggers to her in the name of Gong Siming.

Those seniors really racked their brains. Considering this, she felt quite touched. There were people who loved her and willing to go to great lengths to please her.

Although Gong Siming didn’t love her, she was still thankful to the man who gave her no other options but to grow.

In their romance, there was no right or wrong, and none of them owed one another. Since she dared to fall for him, she was not afraid of him breaking her heart. Now she was brave enough to face him, which meant this page of her life had been turned.

She needed to help Grandpa Gong straighten out his muddled thinking before she could leave with the peace of mind.

She showed a confident and brilliant smile. Anyhow, thank you, Gong Siming.

The office door had been shut for a long time, and Gong Siming’s expression softened.

In a great mood, Si Wan went back to her office.

As soon as she opened the door, she saw Feng Qi sitting proudly on the sofa. Next to him sat Xiaoyu with a sullen look.

What was all this?

As soon as the door was closed, Xiaoyu rushed over first.

“Director Si, this rogue insists on waiting for you here and just wouldn’t go away!”

After that, she grimaced at Feng Qi, who was sitting on the sofa.

Si Wan was really annoyed by Feng Qi. This man was as clingy as a snack spotting its prey.

She already knocked him down twice. Was he seeking revenge when her arm hadn’t recovered?

In despair, she rolled her eyes and agreed to Xiaoyu’s words. This dude was such a rogue.

Since Xiaoyu complained first, Feng Qi was not consent to lag behind. In a haste, he stood by Si Wan’s side.

His obsequious smile made her feel uncomfortable.

Reluctant to keep Feng Qi here, Si Wan directly pushed him away.

“Just cut to the chase! Stop acting like this, it’s weird! Be a grown-up, protein!”

As soon as Xiaoyu heard the word ‘protein’, she burst into wild laughter.

Although he didn’t know why, he was sure that was definitely not a good sign!

“What does protein mean?”

When Xiaoyu heard that question from the bewildered Feng Qi, she burst into laughter and threw herself on the sofa!

Despite her annoyance, Si Wan was also amused by Feng Qi’s question.

Feng Qi felt helpless at the sight of both women laughing but was reluctant to ask again.

That would make him look stupid.

A dignified international supermodel should be embarrassed by two ladies.

He was determined to reclaim his reputation.

“You!”

Fixing his gaze on Xiaoyu, who was lying on the sofa, Feng Qi spoke in a very solemn tone.

She widened her eyes and looked innocently at Feng Qi’s stern face. She had to admit that when he became serious, he was grimly and internationally stylish!

“You may leave now, I have something to discuss with Director Si!”

She was shocked by Feng Qi’s solemnity. Back then, when he acted like this in the studio, there must have been a serious problem.

Xiaoyu took a glance at Si Wan who was sitting in the office chair and left with her tacit permission.

After all, her boss was Si Wan rather than Feng Qi. Whether it was for their public or private relationships, she needed to get Si Wan’s consent.

Xiaoyu left under his gaze, and Feng Qi slowly shifted his gaze with a frustrated look on his face.

Si Wan almost failed to suppress her desire to laugh.

“Do you remember your promise to me?”

There was a mixture of frustration and misery in his tone.

“I do, just spit it, as long as I can help, I will.”

She said without the slightest hint of shirking. That was Si Wan’s style. Promises must be kept while actions must be resolute.

“On one condition, stop pestering me!” Added Si Wan.

Sitting rakishly in the opposite direction, Feng Qi rolled his eyes at Si Wan.

“You are such a narcissist! It’s just a simple favor. From now on, my cooperation with Gong’s Group should be solely managed by Xiaoyu!”

He was not asking for help, and his attitude changed completely as if he was not the same person.

“Xiaoyu is sent to replace me temporarily. Someone else will soon take charge. Xiaoyu has her own duties, and I can’t allow private feelings to outweigh my duties.”

She directly rejected Feng Qi’s request, because this man was too fickle. She would not allow him to approach Xiaoyu.

“Don’t forget that Xiaoyu has another identity, my fiancée. If you don’t want me to dredge up the past, you’d better help me this time!”

Should he threaten her with the past event? But she was not a push-over!

“Your trick doesn’t work on me, and I will never bend her will!”

He sighed with emotion as Xiaoyu was so important in Si Wan’s heart. She would never make it hard for Xiaoyu even at the cost of her own exposure.

Deep down, Feng Qi felt happy for Xiaoyu. Then, he relented.

“Well then, we should promise each other that neither of us can compel Xiaoyu!”

Now this was his real intention. It appeared that this version if Feng Qi was not as wicked as she had thought.

“Deal!”

Having achieved his purpose, Feng Qi showed more sincerity and less playfulness on his face.

“Si Wan, I would like to thank you. If you haven’t knocked me down twice, I might still be confused about what I’ve been longing for!”

She had never seen this side of Feng Qi. He was like a soulful young man returning to innocence.

“You don’t need to thank me, because I won’t help!”

He couldn’t help gritting his teeth. This woman, immune to both soft and hard tactics, was too difficult to deal with!

Anyway, he wouldn’t ask for her help. Currying favor with her was just because he was afraid that she might hold Xiaoyu as her shield again should she encounter problems next time!

Never mind, she had promised not to make it hard for Xiaoyu from now on.

He rose to his feet up immediately and left Si Wan’s office without saying goodbye.

The moment when he opened the door, he saw Gong Siming’s livid face.

With a snicker, he closed the door and left.

It was not until Feng Qi was seen entering the elevator that Gong Siming turned around and walked into Si Wan’s office.

Hearing the creak of the door, Si Wan thought Feng Qi came back, so she asked without looking up.

“Why are you back?”© 2024 Nôv/el/Dram/a.Org.

Receiving no reply, Si Wan couldn’t help feeling depressed. Why was Feng Qi always targeting people around her!

Couldn’t he see the world in a different light? He was so irritating!

She looked up, only to see a grin on a glamorous face.
