The paparazzi pretended to be pitiful and cried in front of her.
Qiao Mianmian hesitated for a while before turning to Gong Zeli. “Their cameras have been destroyed. Let’s just forget about it.”
The anger in Gong Zeli’s eyes lessened when he heard her voice. He looked over at Qiao Mianmian with gentleness and warmth in his eyes. “You don’t want to pursue it anymore?”
“Mm.” Qiao Mianmian nodded. “The cameras were destroyed. They already learned their lesson.”
“Alright.” Gong Zeli immediately agreed. “Forget it, then.”
The paparazzi didn’t expect it to be so effective.
They didn’t expect Gong Zeli to listen to Qiao Mianmian.
Qiao Mianmian said forget it, and he immediately did.
But everyone knew that the Young Master of the Gong family wasn’t a good-tempered person, nor was he the type to listen to others easily.
The paparazzi looked at him, then at Qiao Mianmian, and then exchanged meaningful glances.
“Thank you, Miss Qiao. Thank you, Young Master Gong.” They quickly bowed and apologized.
Gong Zeli said, “Get lost.”
“Yes, yes, yes. We’ll get lost immediately.”
Then, the two paparazzi quickly left.
Qiao Mianmian watched as they left. “I have to thank you again for what happened just now. Thankfully, you got someone to stop them in time. Otherwise, I don’t know how they would write tomorrow’s news.”
“I don’t care what they write about me.” Gong Zeli’s deep gaze stopped on her face for a while before he said softly, “I just can’t let them write about you.”
He sounded ambiguous.
Qiao Mianmian felt a little uncomfortable.
She didn’t know how Gong Zeli felt about her in the past, so she didn’t think much of it.
But ever since Gong Zeli confessed his feelings to her, she felt uncomfortable every time she saw him.
She felt uncomfortable and wanted to leave immediately.
“Anyway, I have to thank you. I’ll go back to my friends now.”
“Alright.” Gong Zeli could tell that she wanted to leave too. He didn’t say anything else, but his voice sounded a little deeper than before. “I’ll be staying at this clubhouse tonight. You can look for me if you need anything.
“Just let the waiter know which room I’m in.”
Although he knew that Qiao Mianmian wouldn’t look for him, he pretended otherwise.
Qiao Mianmian nodded and left.
Gong Zeli stood rooted to the ground for a long time after she left.
She left, but her scent was still in the air.
The sweet scent of fruit mixed with the fragrance of flowers made him yearn for it.
…
Qiao Anxin took a cab to the clubhouse.
She hurriedly entered the clubhouse.
Su Ze told her Gong Zeli’s room number. He also said that Gong Zeli wasn’t being accompanied by a woman.
He came here alone to get drunk.
Others might not know why he came here alone, but Qiao Anxin could guess.
If Gong Zeli really got drunk because of that slut, it meant that he really cared about her..
