Exclusive Love: Pampered by the Scheming Tycoon-Chapter 319 - 320: The Necklace She Wears is Too Defying

"Where is it too short? It’s not short at all; everyone dresses like this!" Tong Keke said in a tone that sounded like she was trying to comfort herself, her pink lips pouting slightly in dissatisfaction.

Gu Qianxi saw her tugging at her skirt, and suddenly, he felt as if a fire had ignited inside him, blazing through his nerves and rushing toward the most primal part of him.

"Not short enough?" Gu Qianxi’s gaze involuntarily followed the spot she was tugging at. He noticed that she seemed to be wearing black safety shorts underneath, but precisely because he saw that, his voice turned hoarse as he asked the question.

Tong Keke stood up, somewhat agitated, and said, "Short is short, so what? No one’s going to look at me anyway. I’m going to work now. You’re today’s distinguished guest, so don’t bother picking on a lowly waitress like me, alright?"

Gu Qianxi looked at her stubborn little expression and felt an impulse to give her a spanking.

"Fine, go ahead. Are you sure you can handle these responsibilities? I’d actually love to see how much trouble you’re going to cause." Gu Qianxi didn’t stop her. Since she wanted to do it herself, he decided to let her.

Tong Keke didn’t hesitate for even a second and turned around, briskly running toward the brightly lit hall.

Gu Qianxi also froze for a couple of seconds before striding after her into the hall.

From a distance, he spotted her delicate figure, head bowed, pleading with the hall supervisor.

Gu Qianxi felt a pang in his chest. He wanted to drag that little troublemaker back once more and keep her obediently by his side, never letting her go anywhere.

Tong Keke had two classmates by her side, helping her say good things and begging on her behalf. Finally, Tong Keke was allowed to resume her work.

This time, she was sent to the food section to work—to avoid her carrying trays and possibly slipping up again.

Tong Keke’s lovely face relaxed slightly, and her bright eyes instinctively searched for that tall and elegant figure.

However, since she was now working, she didn’t have time to pay attention to anything else.

Lin Banxia followed Leng Weichen out of the elevator.

Immediately, she felt the envious gazes directed her way. She still didn’t understand what exactly these people were envying her for.

"Look quickly, is she wearing that legendary Mermaid’s Tears diamond around her neck?"

"Let me see... Wow, it does look real! I saw it featured in a jewelry magazine not long ago. I wonder if it’s genuine."

"Do you even need to wonder? Look at the man standing next to her—that’s Leng Family’s eldest son! Leng Family has been one of the most renowned jewel magnates in recent years. If his companion is wearing a necklace, it’s definitely authentic."

"I’m so jealous!"

"It’s incredibly beautiful. I mean the necklace—that deep blue crystal is simply breathtaking."

Lin Banxia’s head felt fuzzy, and she was somewhat lightheaded as she stepped into the dazzlingly lit room.

She kept asking herself why she had come here.

Why was she here?

Was it to catch someone cheating?

Or was she here to confront Huo Yanting?

Lin Banxia’s palms were slick with nervous sweat. She thought to herself—she must be crazy.

"Lin Banxia?" Just as Lin Banxia was cautiously following Zhun Weichen’s lead, she heard someone call her name.

She abruptly turned around to see Gu Qianxi. She smiled awkwardly and greeted him, "Dean Gu, you’re here too."

Gu Qianxi’s puzzled eyes lingered on her face for a moment before finally settling firmly on the imposing Leng Weichen beside her.

"Why are you with him?" Gu Qianxi, of course, recognized Leng Weichen, but he was very curious as to why Lin Banxia would be with him.
