275 You Are Provoking Me Again

Mo Li could vividly recall the range of emotions that flitted across Gong Zhan's eyes as he gazed at her. His expression transitioned from fervor to frigidity, from contentment to disappointment.

Nonetheless, Gong Zhan swiftly discerned that the person cradled in his arms wasn't the woman he had been yearning for—Gu Zi. It was his secretary, Mo Li. He gently released his grip on her waist and roused himself from his daze. Gu Zi was now a married woman, no longer a part of his life.

Yet, Gong Zhan's upbringing and composure forbade him from losing his temper or succumbing to rage. He offered a courteous apology to Mo Li and chose to carry on as though nothing untoward had occurred.

Mo Li, too, reacted promptly. She feigned conviction in Gong Zhan's unparalleled charm and was willing to endure the humiliation in the name of love. She tendered her apologies and promptly exited the scene.
