"So, you rejected Huo Linsheng again?"
Ling Nuan was having a small gathering with her good friend Huang Sheng after work. After listening to Ling Nuan's story about her and Huo Linsheng, Huang Sheng was shocked.
Ling Nuan gave a soft "hmm".
After Huo Linsheng expressed his feelings, she quickly rejected him. "I like my current job very much," she said.
Huo Linsheng wasn't surprised. He let her off easily. The smile on his face faded, leaving only a matter - of - fact look. "Then please pay attention to your boundaries in the future, Secretary Ling. There are many secretaries who get fired for seducing their bosses. I hope Secretary Ling won't be the next one," he said.
Ling Nuan: "..."
She felt like she was walking on a tightrope now.
One day, if she accidentally slipped, it might be a complete failure.
Huang Sheng was worried. "Nuan Nuan, what are you going to do next?"
Ling Nuan came back to her senses and smiled. "The situation isn't that bad. Do you think Huo Linsheng is interested in me?"
"Of course he is. If he wasn't interested, he would have drawn a clear line with you long ago, knowing your purpose," Huang Sheng replied. After giving the answer, she realized something.
She said excitedly, "Huo Linsheng still agreed to keep you as his secretary after you clearly rejected him. So he isn't as determined as he appears to be."
Ling Nuan nodded. "He thought he saw through me at a glance and let me do as I pleased. But who knows what will happen in the long run? My bottom line is non - negotiable. Although his concession isn't obvious, as long as he does, it's my chance."
After saying that, Ling Nuan thought she should make herself more noticeable in front of Huo Linsheng to make him remember her.
Ling Nuan logged into her WeChat secondary account.
She had already added Huo Linsheng on her regular WeChat account for work. After forwarding Huo Linsheng's friend card to her secondary account, she sent a friend request.
The note read: "Do you know why I don't go to heaven? Because you're on earth!"
One note wasn't enough. She sent another one.
The note said: "You get up early, I get up early, and we'll surely be together someday! You don't sleep, I don't sleep, look how well - matched we are!"
"..."
She sent one friend request after another.
All the notes were cheesy pick - up lines.
Huo Linsheng didn't use WeChat often.
At a banquet, listening to others' flattery and having nothing to do, his phone suddenly vibrated frequently, which piqued his interest.
Looking at the cheesy pick - up lines, Huo Linsheng raised his eyebrows slightly.
There were many people chasing Huo Linsheng, but he could only think of one person who would dare to do this.
He directly took a screenshot and opened Ling Nuan's WeChat.
He sent a screenshot and a question mark.
Ling Nuan replied quickly with a deliberately coquettish voice message.
"After work hours, this isn't a work account. This is called drawing a clear line between public and private affairs!"
Huo Linsheng was amused.
Seeing Huo Linsheng laugh, a sycophant immediately came up. "Mr. Huo, what happy thing did you encounter?"
Huo Linsheng locked his phone, looked up at the man indifferently, and then stood up. "I have something to do. I'll leave first."
As soon as he said this, several company presidents stood up.
They didn't dare to stop him and sent him off with smiles.
"Mr. Huo, take your time."
"Mr. Huo, we'll get together again next time if we have the chance."
Huo Linsheng thought it was quite boring.
After he left the private room, Fang Chao immediately followed him and asked, "Mr. Huo, shall we go directly..."
"Call Ling Nuan," Huo Linsheng interrupted Fang Chao.
Fang Chao: "?"
Ling Nuan received a call from Fang Chao.
Fang Chao sounded serious and anxious. "Secretary Ling, are you free now?"
Ling Nuan didn't know what it was about and didn't dare to answer directly. Instead, she asked carefully, "What's up, Brother Fang?"
Fang Chao sighed and replied, "Mr. Huo had a banquet today and got drunk. I need to deal with some company matters now. I need to find someone to take care of Mr. Huo."
Hearing this, Ling Nuan immediately replied, "I'm free. Brother Fang, send me the address."
After hanging up the phone, Ling Nuan immediately received the location sent by Fang Chao.
Jinyu Mansion.
Huo Linsheng had many properties in Beijing, and Jinyu Mansion was his regular residence.
"Sheng Sheng, Huo Linsheng is looking for me. I'll leave first," Ling Nuan said as she picked up her bag and said goodbye to Huang Sheng before leaving in a hurry.
Huang Sheng, who had witnessed Ling Nuan sending those cheesy pick - up lines, looked blank. "Do today's domineering CEOs like cheesy pick - up lines?"
...
Ling Nuan rushed to Huo Linsheng's residence.
Fang Chao was waiting at the villa gate.
"Secretary Ling, you're finally here. Mr. Huo is in his room now. I have to leave in a hurry. Please take care of him," Fang Chao said and then quickly disappeared as if he had something extremely urgent to do.
Ling Nuan curled her lips slightly.
Huo Linsheng's room was on the second floor. When Ling Nuan entered, Huo Linsheng seemed to be sound asleep in bed.
Ling Nuan bent down and got closer.
Her gaze first fell on Huo Linsheng's face, then slowly moved down, passed his Adam's apple, and landed on his chest.
"People who are drunk are prone to suffocation. It will be uncomfortable if the shirt buttons are too tight," Ling Nuan seemed to be talking to herself.
As she said this, her hands deftly unbuttoned his shirt.
The neatly buttoned shirt was quickly unbuttoned by Ling Nuan and fell loosely to one side.
She still seemed unsatisfied.
"He reeks of alcohol. He needs a wash," she said.
As soon as the words fell, Ling Nuan's hand landed on Huo Linsheng's belt. With a "click", she easily unbuckled it. However, just as she was about to take the next step, Huo Linsheng grabbed her wrist.
"Secretary Ling, are you being too enthusiastic?" Huo Linsheng leaned against the head of the bed and looked down at the woman who was bending over him and about to take off his pants.
Ling Nuan looked up, looking aggrieved. "Mr. Huo, do you have some misunderstanding? Mr. Huo reeks of alcohol. It will be very uncomfortable if he goes to sleep without a wash. Since I'm here to take care of Mr. Huo, of course it includes helping Mr. Huo - take a bath."
The last two words were said by Ling Nuan in a lingering and ambiguous way.
It seemed that what she was going to do wasn't just taking a bath but something else.
Huo Linsheng mocked, "After work hours and for non - work matters, is Secretary Ling always so dedicated and self - sacrificing?"
Ling Nuan was thick - skinned and replied, "If I want to get the boss's appreciation, these are what I should do."
She leaned towards Huo Linsheng. "Mr. Huo, do you really not need me to help you take a bath? Aren't you uncomfortable?"
Huo Linsheng used his free hand to put a finger on Ling Nuan's shoulder to stop her from getting closer.
"I'm afraid some people have ulterior motives. When going out, men also need to protect themselves," Huo Linsheng retorted.
Even Ling Nuan almost couldn't hold back her laughter when she heard the second half of Huo Linsheng's words.
She managed to hold it back.
She nodded in agreement. "Mr. Huo must be careful. There are too many aggressive women out there. Unlike me, I'm innocent."
In line with this sentence, Ling Nuan directly placed her free hand on Huo Linsheng's abs.
It was originally intentional, but the feeling was so good that Ling Nuan couldn't help but touch it.
"Does it feel good?" Huo Linsheng asked her.
Ling Nuan smiled frankly. "It feels great. I just don't know if other parts of Mr. Huo's body are of such high quality too."
Huo Linsheng was indeed provoked.
He pulled Ling Nuan and flipped her over, pinning her down.
"Since it's a two - way street, what are you going to give back, Secretary Ling?"
