Chapter 258 The Mute Boss 8 (2/2)

Zi Xi suddenly realized what was happening, and she was terrified!

She immediately breathed a sigh of relief and began offering suggestions with great enthusiasm.

"Oh! A fake marriage to avoid unwanted romantic advances!"

"Boss, you can ask Yao Yao! Besides, you're siblings, no one will suspect your relationship!"

Looking for Ling Wei?

Looking at the suggestion, Ling Chen felt a strange sense of unease in his chest that was about to solidify into a tangible resentment.

He sneered, almost defiantly, and typed out a more direct question, breaking his usual silence and roundabout approach.

Gu Hong typed: "You don't want to marry me because you look down on me?"

The moment those words popped up, Zi Xi was completely stunned.

You don't like it?!

"Boss, you're kidding. I think... if you wanted to, even in a game, there would be a lot of girls lining up to marry you!"

Zi Xi had never really thought about it that way.

She always felt that the lone goose was an unattainable flower on a high mountain.

It's only because she's Ling Wei's daughter that she can follow along and freeload off her on missions.

Furthermore, Zi Xi suspects that this world may be biased towards male-oriented storylines, with the current male protagonist inheriting the legacy of the previous male protagonist and thus beginning his meteoric rise to power.

And is this really just to ward off unwanted romantic advances?

Why does that sound so aggrieved, and even a little bit like a subtle probing?

She didn't reply immediately the first time.

"I'll think about it."

She still needs to think about the idea of ​​getting married in the game.

After sending that message, she practically fled the scene and logged off immediately, without even finishing her daily tasks.

consider?

She actually needs to consider this?

An even more indescribable sense of irritation welled up inside me.

Ling Chen closed the private chat window expressionlessly and stood alone on the empty lawn of the game, his feelings complicated.

Now everything is quieter than ever before.

In reality, the elevators at the Ling Group are always exceptionally crowded on Monday mornings.

Zi Xi and several equally young colleagues squeezed into a corner of the elevator, excitedly discussing the juicy gossip from last night's game.

"You didn't see it, I was there that day. That Qingcheng Yue just threw a rare mount worth several thousand gold coins at the big boss's feet without even blinking."

A colleague from a neighboring server, who had come to the Zixi server to watch the excitement, exclaimed in astonishment.

"Tsk tsk, this is outrageously extravagant! What's the big shot's reaction?"

Another colleague asked curiously.

"What other reaction can we have? Just ignore it. The big shot didn't even glance at it and directly blocked the person!"

A colleague imitated Gu Hong's cold demeanor, putting on a stern face and lowering his voice.

His colleagues chuckled softly.

"Hey Boss Gu Hong, look at me! I've spent so much money on you, it hurts my heart! Just pay attention to me, okay?"

Another colleague, feeling playful, imitated Qingchengyue's cloyingly sweet voice on the world channel, and made a silly, low-pitched voice.

He performed so vividly that he even mimicked Xi Shi holding her heart, making Zi Xi burst into laughter.

The elevator was filled with a cheerful atmosphere.

No one noticed a tall man wearing a black baseball cap pulled low in the far corner of the elevator.

For some inexplicable reason, Ling Chen didn't take the president's private elevator today, but instead mingled in the regular employee elevator.

He originally just thought... he might bump into some junior intern.

And that's what I heard.
