Chapter 38

“Why, why, why did you say that just now!” After breakfast, seeing Lu Xi about to head out to the company, Si Yu hurriedly stopped her.

“Say what?” Lu Xi’s expression was as steady as a mountain, as if the person who had said those shameless words earlier was not her.

“That…” Yet Si Yu’s face was still burning from Lu Xi’s sudden shameless words, and she found it hard to say aloud. Lowering her voice, she said, “Why did you say we went too late last night and my body was worn out… that kind of thing!”

“We were still talking at three in the morning. Isn’t that late? This morning while washing up, you kept yawning. If that isn’t being tired, then what is it?” Lu Xi looked completely calm. “Is there a problem?”

…It seemed like there was no problem.

No!

She had almost been fooled!

Si Yu put both hands on her waist, stuck out her neck, and said, “When you said it like that, Grandma misunderstood!”

Lu Xi tugged lightly at the corner of her mouth and said faintly, “That was because she interpreted it wrongly herself.”

Si Yu glared at her. “Do you dare say you didn’t do it on purpose?! If you hadn’t said it like that, how could Grandma possibly misunderstand?!”

Lu Xi looked at Si Yu’s face and ears, red enough to drip blood. After thinking for a moment, she said, “I just didn’t want things to become so troublesome.”

“…What trouble?”

“First it was cockroaches, then it was your period. You told so many lies earlier, and then planned to confess at the end. Would Grandma believe you? She would only ask even more questions. It was better to let her misunderstand that the two of us…” A strange gleam flashed through Lu Xi’s cold, rippleless eyes. She paused, then continued, “This way, it could both dispel her suspicions and make her happy.”

Si Yu thought about it briefly and actually felt that Lu Xi’s words made some sense.

Lu Xi focused on her. “Or do you have a better explanation than mine?”

Si Yu shook her head.

“Since there’s no problem, I’m leaving.”

Seeing her long legs move as she was about to leave, Si Yu had a flash unauthorized copyof inspiration and grabbed her wrist. “I still feel like something’s wrong.”

Lu Xi looked at the place where Si Yu was holding her, then returned her gaze to Si Yu’s still-flushed face. Seeing that Si Yu had suddenly become serious, she followed along and asked, “What’s wrong?”

Si Yu drew in a breath and declared powerfully, “When you said it like that, Grandma and Auntie, including Chef Xie, would all misunderstand that I was the one underneath. Why can’t I be on top!!!”

“…”

“…”

The autumn wind swept through the fallen leaves, one after another drifting lightly onto the grass without a sound.

Si Yu seemed to hear her own integrity shattering all over the ground.

She visibly watched Lu Xi’s stunning iceberg face crack bit by bit. The corners of Lu Xi’s sexy, beautiful lips twitched slightly, and there was an unreadable emotion hidden in her cold eyes.

Perhaps she had been shocked by Si Yu’s beastly words, because Lu Xi opened her mouth several times but stopped herself.

Although Lu Xi said nothing, Si Yu seemed to read from her expression what she wanted to say: What kind of yellow plastic is your brain filled with?

A fire suddenly surged through Si Yu’s body.

Si Yu suddenly did not dare meet her eyes. Flustered, she turned her head away. Before she could burn to ashes, she spoke extremely quickly, “Hurry up and go to work. I… my stomach hurts, so I’m going to the bathroom. Bye-bye!”

“…”

When Lu Xi had deliberately misled Old Madam Lu with that sentence, she truly had not thought that deeply. She had not expected Si Yu’s reaction to be this big.

Top? Bottom? So that was what she cared about?

Lu Xi thoughtfully watched Si Yu flee in panic, and the color in her cold, desireless eyes grew deeper and deeper.

The fire in Si Yu’s heart burned for a long time without going out. When she entered the living room and heard Old Madam Lu and the nanny discussing what else could nourish the kidneys besides goji berries and black fungus, she almost spat out a mouthful of blood.

It was all Lu Xi’s fault!

How could someone who was usually so proper say something like that?

This character setting was absolutely the very definition of hidden sultriness. The author had not deceived her.

Even the nanny and the chef knew now that she was weak and kidney-deficient from not knowing restraint. Si Yu truly had no face to stay at the Lu residence anymore. After eating the kidney-nourishing lunch Old Madam Lu had specifically instructed Chef Xie to make for her, she used the excuse that she needed to go back and study her script and ran away.

The more important reason was that when she thought of having to sleep in the same room as Lu Xi at night, and thought of the integrity-dropping words she had blurted out about wanting to be on top… her mind was filled with all sorts of inappropriate images, and she had no face to see Lu Xi.

Only the script could calm her down.

Si Yu spent a whole day finishing all the content related to Ying Ji in Favored Consort Season Two.

Just as Zhu Qi had said, the character Ying Ji was very distinctive and also very controversial. During the palace intrigue, Ying Ji was a ruthless major villain, the kind who made viewers so angry their teeth would itch. But the fearless spirit she showed in the end, sacrificing herself to protect her homeland and save the people, was also very admirable.

By the time Si Yu read the ending, her eyes were already wet.

Unless it was for filming, Si Yu had never been someone who cried easily. For a script alone to move her to tears, this kind of role was one she had rarely encountered even before transmigrating into the book.

Ying Ji was a newly added supporting role. In forty episodes of content, this character appeared in fewer than ten. Although she was only a supporting role with very few scenes, Si Yu truly liked her too much.

She did not care that this was an antagonist who might not be likable, did not care about the low pay, and did not care about being a foil to Liang Yufei. After finishing the script, she immediately had her answer and sent Zhu Qi a WeChat message: “I’ll take Ying Ji.”

As for the film The Vanished Castle, Si Yu had only read one-fourth of it. Her role in that one was the second female lead, a character with mental illness. The difficulty of performing it was relatively high, so the director needed to personally evaluate her.

Before transmigrating into the book, Si Yu had played mentally ill characters before. She still had confidence in her acting skills.

After autumn began, the days grew shorter.

Si Yu had spent the entire day collapsed on the sofa reading scripts until her head spun and her eyes blurred. She got up to stretch, then heard Auntie Zhao ask, “Will Miss Lu come back for dinner?”

Si Yu’s shoulders, which had just relaxed, suddenly tensed. She said dryly, “I don’t know.”

“Ask her?”

“No need.” Si Yu said guiltily, “She probably won’t come back to eat. Don’t mind her.”

She desperately wished Lu Xi would not come back, so they could avoid the awkwardne[read the original at bailiantales.com]ss of seeing each other.

Hearing the stiffness in her tone and seeing that her expression was not right, Auntie Zhao said, “Did you two quarrel again?”

“…No.” Si Yu laughed dryly twice. “She’s very busy with work. Recently, she often has to work overtime.”

Auntie Zhao did not suspect otherwise. After thinking for a moment, she said, “Or I can make the food, and you can send it to her at the company?”

“Why should I send food to her company?”

“Young couples should care more about each other. That’s how feelings are improved.” Auntie Zhao smiled brightly. “I can tell Miss Lu has feelings for you. If you go deliver food to her, she’ll definitely be happy. Maybe she’ll even eat an extra bowl of rice.”

Auntie Zhao had concluded that Lu Xi liked Si Yu from the incident where Lu Xi fed her hangover medicine last time.

Si Yu did not agree at all.

Who would force medicine into the mouth of someone they liked? That was more like revenge. Maybe Lu Xi had been taking revenge because Si Yu cursed her on the phone to never have a sex life in her next lifetime.

It was clearly a very abusive [stolen content]plot, and Si Yu did not understand how Auntie Zhao could manage to ship sweetness from it.

However, the suggestion of delivering food seemed good.

Si Yu suddenly remembered that in the novel, after the heroine and Lu Xi confirmed their relationship, the heroine taught herself cooking. Every time she was not filming, she would make all kinds of love bentos for Lu Xi and personally deliver them to Lu Xi’s company, making the readers howl about how sweet it was.

If it were usually, Si Yu might have gone over eagerly. But her shattered integrity had not yet been fully pieced back together, and she was afraid that if she saw Lu Xi, it would shatter again, so she needed to slow down.

Lu Xi had no idea that Si Yu had already left. When she returned, she only saw Old Madam Lu alone.

“Qiao Qiao said she was going back to read her script. I thought she told you, so I didn’t have anyone make your dinner.” Old Madam Lu stared at Lu Xi’s face for a long time, then called the nanny over and said, “Go bring out the chicken soup left over from lunch for her. Don’t waste it.”

The nanny said, “Coming.”

A few minutes later, Lu Xi looked at the bowl of chicken soup in front of her, almost drowned in goji berries and red dates, and fell silent.

There was a feeling of lifting a stone only to smash her own foot.

“Qiao Qiao said she needed to control her weight, so she only drank [read the original at bailiantales.com]a little. You finish the rest.” Old Madam Lu pointed at the obvious dark circles beneath Lu Xi’s eyes. “You look quite weak too. Nourish yourself more.”

“…”

With no one else at home, Lu Xi stayed that night to keep Old Madam Lu company, afraid she would be lonely.

Deep into the night, lying alone on her familiar big bed, Lu Xi was actually somewhat unaccustomed to it.

She did not know whether it was because she had slept too restrainedly last night, but now she suddenly felt this bed was a little too big.

The extra pillow beside her was the one Si Yu had used.

To keep Old Madam Lu from becoming suspicious, every time Si Yu woke up, she would move the pillow and blanket from the sofa back to the bed.

Today, the pillow was placed no differently from usual. What was different was the fragrance.

A scent that could not be distinguished as shampoo or perfume—or perhaps both—drifted densely from the pillow beside her. The more she smelled it, the more awake she became.

Having been forced to eat so many goji berries at night, Lu Xi felt she might be a little overheated. A dry heat stirred inside her, making [read the original at bailiantales.com]her toss and turn, unable to sleep.

She had no choice but to put that pillow into the cabinet, go downstairs to drink a glass of cold water, and by the time she returned to the room, the disturbing fragrance had faded. Only then did she lie back down on the bed.

“President Lu, did you not rest well again?” Chen Yan entered the office holding documents that needed signatures. At a glance, she saw the dark circles under Lu Xi’s eyes and asked.

Lu Xi gave an “Mm” and sighed softly. “Make me a cup of coffee. No sugar.”

Chen Yan quickly came back with the brewed coffee. Seeing Lu Xi drink it without even frowning, she considered her words and said, “I’ve noticed your condition hasn’t been very good these past two days. Is something bothering you?”

Being kept from sleeping all night by one pillow—did that count as something bothering her?

Lu Xi uncapped her pen and slowly signed her name on the contract, unwilling to explain in detail. “It’s nothing.”

Chen Yan did not ask more and picked up the empty coffee cup, preparing to go out and wash it. Suddenly, she heard urgent knocking.

Secretary Liu Meimei pushed the door open in a rush and said, “President Lu, security said Miss Lu Wei and that newly signed artist Si Yu are tearing into each other in the underground parking lot!”

…

Guangying’s underground parking lot.

Si Yu had come to the company today to sign the contract for Favored Consort 2. Her car had only just driven into the underground parking lot when Lu Wei drove her supercar rushing over.

Si Yu did not know Lu Wei wanted to fight her for the parking space and failed to brake in time. The two cars narrowly scraped past each other, producing a sharp scraping sound, and a long scratch appeared on each car body.

Her luxury sports car worth millions had been scratched, and Lu Wei immediately exploded. She got out and started cursing. “Are you blind?!”

Ever since gaining her constitution that attracted slander, under her manager Zhu Qi’s reminder, Si Yu’s daily car had been changed into an ordinary car worth a little over a hundred thousand. The car had not been bought long ago, and now it was scratched, so Si Yu was angry too. Restraining herself, she said, “There are surveillance cameras in every corner here. I drove in first, and you came to crash into me. Who exactly is blind?”

Lu Wei did not feel at all that she had done anything wrong. Pointing at Si Yu’s black Volkswagen, she said, “This spot is my exclusive parking space. Who allowed you to park here?”

“Exclusive parking space?” Si Yu gave a cold laugh. “Is your name written on it?”

Lu Wei looked at the cement ground, which had not a single word on it, and choked. Stretching her neck, she said, “This is the exclusive parking space I applied for with my sister. Everyone in the company knows this is my space!”

Assistant Xiao Min did not know what grudge these two had against each other. Afraid a conflict would break out, she hurriedly ​bailiantales.com​ran over to smooth things over. “Miss Si, this parking spot has always been Weiwei’s. There are other spaces nearby. Why don’t you move? If you find it troublesome, I can move it for you.”

“Why isn’t she moving?” Si Yu looked at the unreasonable Lu Wei and said neither coldly nor warmly, “Starting today, this spot belongs to me.”

“What right does it have to belong to you?! Who do you think you are—”

Before she could say the word “are,” Lu Wei suddenly remembered that Si Yu was one of Guangying’s three major shareholders with decision-making power. Her face and neck turned red from holding it in, and she gritted her teeth hatefully. “It really was you! You vicious woman. I’m going to tear you apart!”

Si Yu: “???”

Si Yu still had not figured out what Lu Wei was trying to express when Lu Wei suddenly exploded and lunged over to fight her.

The assistant reacted quickly and hugged her back.

“Xiao Min, don’t stop me. I’m going to tear apart that face of hers today!” Lu Wei was like a mother hen protecting her chicks, all puffed up and baring claws and teeth, full of aggression.

Assistant Xiao Min had to use both hands and feet to lock her in place and stop her from moving forward. Anxiously, she said, “This is Guangying, Weiwei. Don’t be impulsive and do something stupid! Miss Si, hurry and leave!”

“What’s wrong with Guangying? This is my family’s company! And there aren’t any paparazzi. What do I have to fear?” Lu Wei looked at the woman opposite bailiantales.comher, lazily crossing her arms as if she were taking a stroll, and revealed her white, sharp teeth. Fiercely, she said, “Don’t leave. If you have the guts, come fight me head-on. What skill is there in bullying Yufei!”

Si Yu could not understand when she had bullied Liang Yufei again. She was too lazy to argue with Lu Wei, this difficult princess, and walked straight toward the elevator.

Ding—

Coincidentally, the elevator doors opened, and Chen Yan, wearing a professional suit, ran out in rare panic. Seeing Si Yu, she said, “Miss Si, are you all right?”

“I’m fine.” Si Yu did not think deeply about why Chen Yan would ask this. She nodded her chin toward Lu Wei, who was being hugged by her assistant while struggling hard. “There’s a lunatic over there. Better manage her before she affects the company’s image.”

Chen Yan looked past Si Yu’s shoulder and saw Lu Wei cursing nonstop. Her expression shifted slightly, and she said to Si Yu, “President Lu wants you to go to her office.”

“Oh.”

Si Yu took the elevator to the top floor.

This was Si Yu’s second time coming to Lu Xi’s office. By coincidence, the person receiving her was still Liu Meimei, whom she had tricked before.

“Hi, we meet again.” Si Yu smiled and greeted her. “President Lu asked me ​unauthorized copy​to come find her.”

Liu Meimei’s expression was not so friendly. Her eyes were as sharp as if they had X-ray installed, examining Si Yu. “You’re Si Yu. Why did you lie to me last time and say your name was Siji?”

Last time, when Si Yu came to look for Lu Xi, Liu Meimei had suspected her identity, but Si Yu had casually made up nonsense and fooled her. She smiled brightly and said, “That doesn’t really count as lying. I did work as a driver before.”

“…” Liu Meimei’s teeth ground audibly. With certainty, she said, “You’re that Si Yu who cheated me out of one hundred fifty thousand.”

Since she had been exposed, Si Yu simply stopped pretending. “I merely made you cough up the money I had tipped you before. You didn’t really lose anything, so don’t act so wronged.”

“You…”

Ding—

The elevator doors opened, and Lu Wei and Chen Yan walked out one after another.

Seeing Si Yu, Lu Wei became a bristling rooster again, opening her mouth to curse.

“Miss Lu Wei.” Chen Yan spoke before she could. “President Lu is waiting for you unauthorized copyin her office. If you have anything to say, you can go inside first. Miss Si, please.”

Lu Xi stood before the floor-to-ceiling window, leisurely drinking coffee. Seeing them enter, she said to Chen Yan, “You go out first.”

One second earlier, Lu Wei had had her nostrils turned to the sky. Now, she lowered her head like a defeated rooster and said quietly, “Sister, why did you call me?”

Lu Xi set down the coffee cup, looked at Si Yu, who had already found a seat and sat down by herself, and fell silent for a moment. Her gaze returned to Lu Wei. Her expression revealed neither joy nor anger as she said, “What were you two arguing about in the parking lot?”

On the way here, Si Yu had already guessed why Lu Xi called her up. Crossing her legs, she looked sideways at Lu Wei and said, “She wanted to steal my parking space, cursed me for being blind, then inexplicably said she wanted to tear apart my face. I don’t understand why either.”

“Stop pretending!” Lu Wei pointed at her nose. “Guangying wanted to poach Yufei over. The conditions had already been negotiated, and if not for you, the contract would have been signed long ago! You vicious woman. Why do you always have to go against Yufei?”

“What do you mean, because of me?” Si Yu was completely confused.

That day in the lobby, when she saw Liang Yufei, Si Yu had recalled the plot timeline in the novel and guessed that Guangying wanted to poach Liang Yufei. But what did this have to do with her?

“The reply Yufei received said that some leader above didn’t want to sign her. Who else could it be except you?!” The veins on Lu Wei’s forehead bulged. If she were not restraining herself because Lu Xi was present, she would have rushed across the coffee table to tear apart Si Yu’s face.

Last night, Lu Wei had been having fun with other rich young ladies ​bailiantales.com​at some wealthy heiress’s birthday party when she suddenly received Liang Yufei’s call, saying the matter of Guangying poaching her had fallen through.

Lu Wei had rushed over without stopping. Seeing Liang Yufei cry as if her heart were shattered, Lu Wei’s own heart broke too. She comforted her, saying, “You have good audience affinity and good acting skills. How could Guangying not sign you? There might be some misunderstanding here. Don’t cry first. Tomorrow, I’ll go to the company and ask my sister what happened.”

Liang Yufei looked terrified. “Don’t ask your sister!”

“Why?”

“Because…” Liang Yufei hesitated. “Guangying said some leader above didn’t want to sign me. I don’t know whether that leader is your sister.”

“Definitely not!” Lu Wei said with certainty. “My sister isn’t stupid. How could she leave such an outstanding artist like you unsigned!”

Liang Yufei did not dare tell her about scheming against Lu Xi and angering Lu Xi. She said hesitantly, “Last time, when I went to Guangying to discuss the conditions, I think I saw Si Yu… Si Yu is one of Guangying’s three major shareholders. She hates me so much, so she definitely doesn’t want me to sign with Guangying. Even if you ask your sister, it won’t be any use.”

There were only three people with a voice at Guangying: Chairman Lu Zhennan, CEO Lu Xi, and Si Yu, who never managed affairs but held fifteen percent of the shares.

Lu Zhennan managed other group businesses, and as for Guangying, he basically handed it off to Lu Xi. Lu Xi was sharp and decisive and would never let go of an artist with as much potential as Liang Yufei.

So Lu Wei decided it had to be Si Yu interfering, causing Liang Yufei’s jump to Guangying to fall through.

Liang Yufei’s personality was soft and gentle, and she was always bullied by Si Yu. This time, Liang Yufei had bitterly begged Lu Wei not to go find Lu Xi, but as her good best friend, Lu Wei truly could not stand by and do nothing.

She had to get justice for Liang Yufei!

Yet Si Yu knew nothing about all of this. She looked at Lu Xi in surprise. “Guangying refused to sign Liang Yufei?”

“You’re still pretending!” Lu Wei was so angry smoke almost came out of all seven orifices.

“What am I pretending?” Si Yu looked completely bewildered.

In the novel, Liang Yufei had also been poached to Guangying and eventually became Guangying’s top actress. Now it had actually fallen through? Even Si Yu could not understand what exactly was going on.

A cold voice cut in. “The proposal for Liang Yufei was rejected by me.”

Lu Wei abruptly looked at Lu Xi, who was seated in the executive chair. Her face was filled with shock. “…Why?! Whether it’s image or acting skills, Yufei is excellent. Sister, why are you unwilling to sign her?”

Lu Xi finished the rest of her coffee and said [unauthorized copy]unhurriedly, “When Guangying signs artists, we don’t only look at external conditions. We also look at what is inside.”

“Yufei’s inside is good too!” Lu Wei said unconvinced. “She’s so kind and so innocent. What exactly doesn’t meet the standard?”

“Kind and innocent?” Si Yu shook her head and sighed. “Looks like you’ve been deceived quite deeply by that good best friend of yours.”

“Shut up!” Lu Wei glared at her angrily. “I know what kind of person Yufei is better than you. Don’t even think about slandering her!”

“Oh?” Si Yu smiled without warmth. “Then did she tell you about how she designed a scheme to seduce your sister?”

“What did you say… seduce???” Lu Wei’s pupils widened slightly, and she shouted, “Impossible. Yufei isn’t that kind of person!”

“If you don’t believe me, ask your sister.”

Lu Wei looked at Lu Xi.

Lu Xi gave Si Yu, whose expression had suddenly darkened, a deep look. Pressing her lips together, she said to Lu Wei, “She’s your best friend, so there are other things I don’t want to say too much about. I only want to remind you that Liang Yufei isn’t as simple as she looks on the surface. Be careful yourself.”

Lu Wei was stunned. After a long while, she said with a pained expression, “Sister, you’ve changed.” She pointed at Si Yu. “You must have been [stolen content]deceived by this vicious woman, which is why you’re joining hands with her to deal with Yufei!”

Lu Xi’s gaze turned slightly cold. “Do you know what you’re saying?”

Lu Wei said to herself, “Yufei was right. I shouldn’t have come to find you. You’ve disappointed me too much!”

“…”

This time, without waiting for Lu Xi to call security, Lu Wei opened the door in grief and anger and ran out.

Tired, Lu Xi closed her eyes and rubbed her aching temple. When she opened them again, she discovered a certain someone still sitting very openly on the sofa, looking at her sidelong.

Si Yu read the question in Lu Xi’s eyes: Why haven’t you left yet?

Si Yu patted her backside and stood up. Going around the huge desk to Lu Xi’s side, she lowered her brows and eyes obediently. “I need to confess something to you.”

Lu Xi gestured with her eyes for her to continue.

“Wait a second.” Si Yu took her phone out of her bag, entered WeChat, removed Liu Meimei from the blacklist, pulled up their chat history, and handed the phone over.

Lu Xi took it suspiciously. After looking for a long time, she still did not understand. “What does this mean?”

“This WeChat belongs to Liu Meimei, one of your secretaries,” Si Yu said. “Two years ago, I lost my mind and bribed her to help me monitor your every move. I sent her red envelopes as payment. Later, I came to my senses and felt doing this was really unkind, so I blocked her and cut off contact with her.”

Lu Xi had completely not known that she had once been monitored by someone. Displeasure appeared on her face. “Why did you monitor me?”

“Because I love you.” Si Yu threw her a flying kiss.

“…” Lu Xi turned her head away and asked with a taut face, “Why are you telling me this?”

Si Yu looked into her eyes and said solemnly, “Because I realized deception is not good. Even if it angers you and makes you hate me again, I still need to confess to you. I’m sorry.”

Being monitored was absolutely something intolerable.

If it were before, Lu Xi truly would have been angry. But meeting Si Yu’s clear, bottomless eyes, strangely, that anger could not rise no matter what.

Lu Xi silently returned the phone to her.

Seeing that Lu Xi did not pursue the matter, Si Yu inwardly breathed a sigh of relief.

“Aside from this, is there anything else you need to confess?” Lu Xi said after a while.

Si Yu’s heart, which had just settled, rose again. Pretending to stay calm, she said, “No.”

Lu Xi tilted her head and looked at Si Yu probingingly. After staring for a long time and seeing no flaw, she said, “If there’s nothing, then go out.”

Si Yu did not move. Her large, bright eyes rolled, and her voice was lively and playful. “President Lu, I heard you often change secretaries.”

Lu Xi’s slender eyes narrowed slightly, and she said slowly, “Liu Meimei told you?”

Si Yu neither said yes nor no. With a sly smile, she said, “I also heard that those secretaries who were replaced were all because they tried to seduce you. So many beautiful women rushed forward one after another and used all kinds of methods, yet you weren’t moved at all?”

Lu Xi looked at her quietly with an expression that said, “What does that have to do with you?”

“I don’t believe it,” Si Yu said.

Lu Xi did not understand what kind of trouble she was trying to cause again until the chair was suddenly turned halfway around, and the woman’s soft body sat down on her lap.

“…”

Si Yu hooked one hand around Lu Xi’s neck, while the other drew circles on her shoulder. Her soft, fragrant body pressed closely against Lu Xi, and she blew air into Lu Xi’s ear, her voice gentle and tender. “President Lu, can you really sit with a beauty in your lap and remain unmoved?”

That ambiguous breath blew into her sensitive ear like a current of electricity. Lu Xi’s body stiffened slightly.

Si Yu felt her stiffness, and delight appeared on her face. Sitting on Lu Xi’s body, she wriggled around, still wanting to continue tempting her, but her wrists were seized.

Lu Xi steadily held her two restless hands. “Do you know how the last person who dared seduce me like this left this office?”

“How?” Si Yu blinked.

“Four security guards carried her from the top floor to the first floor, making a full round through the entire company. She was new, so originally, no one knew her. That day, she became famous.” The corner of Lu Xi’s lips lifted slightly, seeming like a smile yet not. “Do you want to become famous?”
