Ms. Bigshot Is Pampered by All-Chapter 233 - 232: Really Waited Four Hours

Chi Gui tapped the armrest of the sofa and said to Fu Si, "You can stay if you want. But you can only sit here and watch, you can’t walk around freely. Do you agree?"

This was effectively a restriction on Fu Si’s movements.

Sitting here bored all afternoon, even Chi Gui himself didn’t think he could do it.

Chi Gui said this just to try to push Fu Si away.

Sure enough, upon hearing this request, Fu Si slightly raised an eyebrow.

Yet, he didn’t leave as Chi Gui had anticipated; instead, he asked an unrelated question with a smile, "When do you get off work?"

Chi Gui was taken aback but didn’t hide the truth. "Six in the afternoon."

The current research was more than halfway done, and she didn’t need to work overtime every day.

Fu Si nodded and stretched his long legs, sitting lazily on the sofa, his phoenix eyes glinting with a smile as he looked at Chi Gui, "I’ll wait for you to finish work." frёewebnoѵēl.com

Chi Gui: ...

She didn’t bother with Fu Si anymore, only turning to give Xu Wen a low-voiced instruction as she headed into the work area, "If he makes any unreasonable requests later, just say that I won’t allow it. If he decides to leave, send him out with the same courtesy we show Old Sir Fu."

"Got it." Xu Wen didn’t think Fu Si would be able to stand being there for a boring four hours.

All the staff busied themselves after the afternoon shift started.

After distributing the coffee, Qin Cheng was the first to leave.

Only Fu Si sat there alone, without anyone to talk to.

Xu Wen kept an eye on Fu Si, just waiting for him to ask to leave.

However, to Xu Wen’s surprise, for a full three hours Fu Si actually sat quietly on the sofa, browsing his phone, not only not making a sound to disturb their work but even deliberately treading lightly when he went to the restroom.

As the end of the workday approached, the other researchers were also astonished.

While Xu Wen and the others went out to deliver things, a female researcher couldn’t help gossiping, "Until today, I always thought Mr. Fu was a ruthless, arrogant person... but I didn’t expect... he’s nothing like the legends say..."

Xu Wen gave the female researcher a cool look.

As someone who had personally experienced Mr. Fu’s ruthless side, he sincerely warned, "You better not confuse the Fu Si in front of Professor Chi with the Mr. Fu from Capital City that everyone fears, otherwise, you won’t even realize how you ended up in trouble."

The female researcher was taken aback.

Then, she somewhat came to her senses and sighed with envy, "I wish I could have a boyfriend like Mr. Fu, too!"

"You’d have to become Professor Chi first," another researcher quipped, throwing cold water on her.

Female researcher: ...

Six in the afternoon.

Right on time, Chi Gui emerged from the work area and saw Fu Si still sitting on the sofa. She paused.

His slender fingers were holding his phone, his eyebrows slightly lowered and his expression serious as if he was replying to a message. The sunlight from the window spilled on the dark red tassel of the prayer bead bracelet on his wrist, making his fair skin appear even more clear and his handsome features nobler.

Noticing Chi Gui coming out, Fu Si looked up at her, put away his phone and stood up with a smile, "Finished work?"

"Yep." Chi Gui had taken off her white lab coat, wearing only the simple T-shirt and jeans underneath, her usually calm eyes showing a rare hint of surprise, "You haven’t left?"

Fu Si answered naturally, "I said I’d wait for you to finish work, how could I leave?"

Chi Gui: ...

Chi Gui and Fu Si walked out of the lobby, one after the other, toward the main entrance.

Behind them, Xu Wen’s steps toward the lobby halted.

Standing under the archway, he watched the retreating figures of Chi Gui and Fu Si, a sense of "a husband waiting patiently for his wife to finish work together" inexplicably rising within him.

As soon as the thought appeared, Xu Wen shivered violently, hurriedly gathered his wits, and entered the lobby.

Qin Cheng had already been waiting outside in the car.

Seeing Chi Gui come out, he couldn’t help feeling bewildered.
