My CEO Husband Has Some Issues-Chapter 1190 - 1189: Clearly a Trap

"I originally wanted to say something to you before using it, but you were sleeping so soundly, I didn’t have the heart to wake you up," she explained. "I couldn’t put on my own clothes again, and it obviously wasn’t possible to return to my room without any clothes on, so I borrowed your bathrobe. This men’s size is a bit too large for me, you see—look how loose the sleeves are on my arms."

She playfully raised her arms, her cozy gesture drawing attention to the sleeves that were a size too big for her.

Accidentally, a hint of a red mark became visible on her arm.

Gu Ming, being a man, immediately noticed that the red mark was suspicious, his previously shocked expression turning into one of deep concealment.

What’s going on, did Mr. Li and Miss Chu...?

Impossible.

He immediately dismissed the thought.

He had witnessed Mr. Li and Miss Rong together and seen how much he doted on her. It made no sense that he would suddenly fall for some Miss Chu who appeared out of nowhere.

If the president were that kind of person, he wouldn’t have been single for over twenty years without any woman by his side.

There must be something fishy going on!

Li Shengxiao ignored her as if nothing had happened. However, he was clearly becoming warmer in his attitude toward her, lips barely touching, "Last night..."

Chu Xi cut him off before he could ask, speaking with a natural tone, "We both drank too much last night. I escorted you to the bedroom, and who knew, when a lone man and woman are together, sparks fly. The rest is history, and at our age, Shengxiao, you probably don’t need me to spell it out."

The two of them actually slept together?!

Even if Gu Ming had mentally prepared himself, he couldn’t help but feel shocked. He was stunned by the scene unfolding before him early in the morning, his brain going blank as he stared at Chu Xi, and couldn’t help but look back at Li Shengxiao for his reaction.

The automatic curtains were not closed last night, allowing the splendid sunlight of Rui City to pour in from outside and spread a layer of golden sheen on the floor, warm but dazzling.

Li Shengxiao’s lips were tightly pursed. The sunlight could hide many things, but not the coldness emanating from him.

"Do you realize what you are doing?"

Chu Xi, seeing his icy, emotionless gaze, stiffened, her previously languid and casual demeanor now restrained. She bit her red lips slightly, her eyes, clear as cutting water, met his, "I admit that last night I couldn’t control myself, but I already told you, after these past few days, I am attracted to you. We both drank too much—you can’t expect a girl to resist temptation. You should know just how much charm you have over the opposite sex. If I could remain indifferent after drinking too much, it would mean you’re not an attractive man."

Gu Ming no longer knew how to describe his amazement and astonishment.

Such a melodramatic event involving drunken debauchery had actually befallen Mr. Li; what about Miss Rong?

He quietly began to worry about Rong Yan.

This Chu Xi, he had felt uneasy about her from the start, and sure enough, she had caused trouble. He didn’t believe Mr. Li was the kind of man who would lose control after drinking. If such an incident occurred, there might be more to it than met the eye. Yet for a man in this situation, it was hard to explain clearly, and he feared that Chu Xi might take the opportunity to cling to him.

"Isn’t it quite normal for me to not control myself when drunk, given you’re clearly not that type of man?"

Li Shengxiao ignored her long explanation and directly asked her, "What do you want to do?"

In front of Gu Ming, his rejection of her was so blatant, Chu Xi felt the humiliation as if she had been slapped in the face.
