The ex-wife is rebellious, which makes the CEO feel troubled

Chapter 350: Progress

The next morning, Ning Xi woke up from her sleep in a trance, feeling sore all over, more than twice as uncomfortable as any other time she was drunk.

She moved her body and realized that what she was leaning on was not a pillow.

Ning Xi forced herself to open her eyes facing the light coming in from the window and stood there in a daze for five full seconds before coming to her senses.

Then she sat up in shock, grabbed the quilt and pushed the man beside her away.

Gu Huaijing originally wanted to let her sleep a little longer, but Ning Xi woke up suddenly and he didn't even have time to explain.

"How will you be here?!"

Ning Xi felt as if a bolt of lightning struck her mind, and she was extremely surprised.

Gu Huaijing was reluctant to step forward, but was worried that Ning Xi would be too excited, so he had to keep a certain distance from her.

"Ning Xi, calm down first. Things are not what you think." He said word by word, "We were drugged last night."

The astonishment in Ning Xi's eyes became more intense, and her heart skipped a beat: "...What did you say?!"

The sudden change was so huge that Ning Xi couldn't think about it in detail in such a short period of time. Whether she was shocked or angry, she had to try hard to calm herself down.

Regardless of whether what Gu Huaijing said was true or false, there were more urgent matters at the moment.

She didn't want to look directly at Gu Huaijing, and pointed to the bathroom with one hand: "Go to the bathroom. You are not allowed to come out until I say you can."

Gu Huaijing didn't say much, picked up his clothes and walked towards the bathroom obediently.

Ten minutes later, Gu Huaijing heard the sound coming from outside.

"...Come out."

When Gu Huaijing saw her, she had already changed her clothes, but her delicate eyebrows were still tightly knitted.

"You said you felt dizzy yesterday, and I thought you were drunk, so I took you back to the hotel. But a strange man suddenly appeared in your room." Gu Huaijing couldn't help but get angry when he mentioned the strange man, "I wanted to hold him down, but--"

Ning Xi was secretly shocked when she heard this and blurted out: "But what?"

Gu Huaijing paused, his expression a little subtle.

"…You were in a very bad condition at the time. Later, the effects of my medicine also took effect."

Even though he spoke implicitly, Ning Xi still felt something stuck in her throat and looked away for a moment, unwilling to meet Gu Huaijing's eyes.

"Even if that's the case, you can't...!"

Halfway through her words, she couldn't continue.

She drank a lot yesterday and took a lot of drugs, so she barely remembered what happened last night. Her last memory was when Gu Huaijing helped her get into a taxi.

Gu Huaijing saw that she was conflicted and upset, and he felt a little uncomfortable.

They had just done the most intimate thing in the world last night, but once Ning Xi woke up, she became even more distant and cold than before.

But in this kind of situation, the woman is always at a disadvantage. Gu Huaijing poured her some water in a paper cup and said gently, "Drink some water first. Anyway, I am also responsible for this matter. I'm sorry."

Ning Xi didn't take his water and didn't say anything.

She just felt that her head was in a mess and buzzing, and everything around her seemed so unreal.

Seeing that she had no reaction, Gu Huaijing thought that she just needed time to digest the matter.

Just as he was about to go out and leave her alone, Ning Xi suddenly spoke.

"Is it Xu Hengzhi's glass of wine?"

After all, the last meal they had was with Professor Xu.

But he sent her a message this morning, asking her when she would be free to go and see the experimental center he founded.

Ning Xi hesitated for a moment: "...but I don't want him either."

Xu Hengzhi was a world-renowned medical expert. He had never met her before, so it was a bit of a stretch to say that he was the one who did it.

The two unanimously decided to investigate the hotel's surveillance first.

They unexpectedly discovered that after the strange man ran out of Ning Xi's room last night, a woman followed him and ran out of Gu Huaijing's room.

Ning Xi and Gu Huaijing both had solemn expressions.

This is clearly aimed at both of them!

Gu Huaijing took a photo of the suspicious man and woman on the screen and immediately sent it to Li Mingyou: "Bring a few people over and investigate this matter thoroughly."

After walking out of the monitoring room, Ning Xi still looked worried.

Gu Huaijing: "I have sent my men to investigate, and there will be clues at the restaurant as well. I will definitely give you an explanation."

Even though they were words of comfort, Ning Xi just felt uncomfortable no matter how she listened to them.

She and Gu Huaijing had divorced a long time ago and were just partners now, so what did what happened last night count for?

Thinking of the smiling face of Gu Huaijing when she woke up in the morning, she became furious and turned her head away and said, "Of course you don't have to worry...!"

This angry posture could not hide the redness and heat of her ears.

Gu Huaijing keenly noticed her embarrassment and his heart was moved.

Being used to Ning Xi's usual cold and distant attitude, this naturally revealed shyness seemed very cute, and it reminded him of the past...

"I just want to tell you that I will do my best to investigate."

Ning Xi sighed softly, not wanting to pay any more attention to him, and stopped a taxi and got in. Seeing this, Gu Huaijing followed closely behind.

There was another meeting in the afternoon. Ning Xi looked at the scenery passing by outside the car window, took a few deep breaths, and forced herself to adjust her mood.

Ning Xi demonstrated her professionalism throughout the entire meeting and was not affected by what happened in the morning at all.

All of this was seen by a tall man in the building opposite. Looking at Ning Xi's calm attitude, his eyes dimmed slightly.

The phone rang, and Guo Haipeng's anxious voice came from the other end: "How is it, have you found an opportunity to do it?"

The man said calmly: "There has always been someone around her these days, so there is no suitable opportunity."

"Damn it!"

As his plans failed one after another, Guo Haipeng was so angry that he pounded the table hard, "Pay attention to me and stop being so unhurried. Everyone in the Wen family is our enemy. Don't forget who killed your mother!"

Hearing this, the man's calm expression finally showed a crack.

He took a breath and said, "I won't forget."

Hearing the affirmative answer, Guo Haipeng's displeasure eased a little, and he changed his words and said, "That's right, we are a family, and uncle will definitely not harm you."

……

After the meeting, Gu Huaijing was waiting downstairs early, wanting to apologize to Ning Xi, "Ning Xi, I'm really sorry about what happened last night."

Ning Xi was particularly cold towards him and didn't want to talk to him too much.

"No, we are all adults, you don't have to take it too seriously..."

As he was talking, his cell phone suddenly rang.

Ning Xi took out her phone and saw the caller ID. Her frown relaxed a little. She didn't know what the other party said, but her expression was solemn.

"Really, uncle?"

Wen Mochen said: "It's absolutely true. I have collected all the evidence. We will submit it to the police when you come back."

Ning Xi felt relieved: "Okay, I'm done here too, I'll go back now."

Ever since she took over the Wen Group, her uncle has been searching for evidence and whereabouts of Guo Haipeng, and now there is finally progress!
