The Billionaire's Priceless Darling: 33 Days of the CEO's Pursuit - Chapter 208 - Don't Reject Me So Quickly 1

For a long time, Chu Shixiu spoke gently, “Xiao Ai, come out and meet me.”

Xiao Ai, come out and meet me…

The finger drawing circles on the window glass suddenly stopped. She was a person without freedom; without Li Juefeng’s permission, she couldn’t even leave this Li Family villa…

“I…”

Her voice hesitated.

Was she going to reject him again?

“Don’t reject me so quickly, Xiao Ai.” Chu Shixiu interrupted her voice somewhat urgently.

His deliberately lowered voice was like a whisper in her ear, knocking at her heart, causing a faint ache.

Gu Xiaoai was silent for a long time before she casually spoke into the phone, “I’m not in C City right now, let’s find another chance.”

She had never lied to Chu Shixiu, not once since childhood…

Now she was lying to him too.

If this continued, how much truth would remain in her?

“Really?” Chu Shixiu asked disappointedly.

“Yes.” She could almost imagine his slightly lowered gaze in disappointment, like a lost child.

“Xiao Ai, all these years… have you been well?”

Around Chu Shixiu, it was very quiet, so quiet that only his breathing remained, only his cautious yet concerned inquiry.

Gu Xiaoai felt a pang of bitterness in her nose.

Why did he still have to ask this question? She didn’t want to answer…

After a moment of silence, Gu Xiaoai finally asked the purpose of today’s call. Her voice lightly inquired, “Is the Chu Tax Evasion Scandal okay?”

Perhaps not expecting her to ask this, Chu Shixiu paused for two seconds before lightly responding, “Yes, did you see the news?”

The Chu “Tax Evasion Scandal” had caused quite a stir.

He had his secretary investigate several well-known TV stations, and the news criticizing Chu was all released by the CEO’s office of E.S.

E.S Li Juefeng.

A man extremely low-key in front of the media.

This time, he chose an almost transparent attack against Chu, an action arrogant and domineering.

Chu and E.S had never had business dealings, nor any agreements.

E.S’s blatant attack was indeed puzzling.

“Is it serious?” Gu Xiaoai asked.

“A bit.” Without intending to hide from her, Chu Shixiu said frankly, “Chu’s plan for the past two years was to invest in real estate. Being targeted and maliciously attacked at this time has damaged Chu’s image, causing the stock price to drop significantly, which hinders the company’s future development.”
