The Gu Group building stands tall amidst all the other skyscrapers, the most prosperous and noble symbol of Capital City. The car drove into the parking lot, and Gu Yanjing took Qiao Yuxian directly to the floor where his office was located via the exclusive elevator. Exiting the elevator and walking a few steps inside, they saw Su Qi delivering documents to the office. Su Qi was momentarily startled when he saw Qiao Yuxian, but immediately offered a respectful smile, saying, "Mr. Gu, Madam." "Special Assistant Su," Qiao Yuxian greeted with a smile, "Actually, I prefer the title Boss Lady." Gu Yanjing glanced at her without saying anything. Su Qi smiled, glanced at Gu Yanjing’s face, and then said, "Boss Lady." Qiao Yuxian’s smile deepened, raising her hand to pat Su Qi’s shoulder. As her hand lifted and reached out, Su Qi’s expression instantly changed. His eyes widened dramatically, filled with panic. Almost saying, "Don’t come near me!" Gu Yanjing’s gaze suddenly fell on Qiao Yuxian’s hand. Feeling Gu Yanjing’s gaze, Qiao Yuxian’s hand felt as if it was scorched slightly. She urgently halted in mid-air, turned her hand, and landed it on Gu Yanjing’s shoulder. She patted gently twice, saying with a smile, "Special Assistant Su is more mindful. If Shang Chen had half of your wit, I wouldn’t get so exasperated with him." Su Qi breathed a sigh of relief inside and nodded with a smile. Gu Yanjing lowered his eyes to look at her: "Want to explore the path?" After patting him, Qiao Yuxian leaned toward him: "What?" "Secret paths for stealing confidential information," Gu Yanjing replied indifferently. Su Qi glanced at the two of them. Qiao Yuxian straightened up, looked at him, and after a moment, smiled with squinted eyes, "Will you accompany me?" "Yes." Su Qi lowered his head, taking a deep breath. The whole company, each department, tonight was probably too scared to eat. Qiao Yuxian held his finger with a laugh: "I’m just joking. I’ll sneak around myself; I don’t want to be skinned." Gu Yanjing watched her without speaking. "Hmm... let’s explore your office first," Qiao Yuxian said. Gu Yanjing’s fingers curled, holding hers, leading her toward the office. Before leaving, he said to Su Qi, "Bring a chair over." "Yes," Su Qi, though puzzled, instinctively responded. He went to fetch a chair, and upon entering the office, he saw Qiao Yuxian standing by the floor-to-ceiling window looking at the view outside. Gu Yanjing was sitting behind his desk, writing something. "I didn’t know Mr. Gu’s office has such a great view. Overlooking everything, it’s exclusive to me," Qiao Yuxian admired as she spoke. Su Qi entered with the chair, glancing at Gu Yanjing. Gu Yanjing raised his eyes to look at him, then glanced beside himself. Su Qi placed the chair beside him. Gu Yanjing handed him a note written on paper. Su Qi took a look and saw it was filled with fruits and snacks. Was this a list for him to buy? Su Qi took the note and left. Qiao Yuxian looked out the floor-to-ceiling window for a long time, turning back to see an extra chair beside Gu Yanjing. She walked behind the chair, bent over, and tilted her head to look at him: "My eyesight is particularly good." Gu Yanjing looked at her. Qiao Yuxian laughed again: "And my memory is fantastic." Gu Yanjing said, "Then you should remember the skinning." Qiao Yuxian’s face stiffened briefly, then she took off her coat and threw it on the chair: "Just this layer of skin, no more." Gu Yanjing watched her without speaking. Qiao Yuxian held his gaze for a while, suddenly hugged herself, saying, "Nothing left, don’t think about it." Gu Yanjing: "......" Qiao Yuxian glared at him, circumvented him, and sat in the chair. Gu Yanjing’s gaze followed her; after a while, he reached out to pinch her cheek, saying, "Behave." "I won’t," Qiao Yuxian sat in the chair, spinning it, saying, "I won’t behave." Gu Yanjing looked at her without speaking. Qiao Yuxian leaned back in the chair, looked at him: "What’s wrong if I don’t behave? Can you leave me? Hehe, you don’t have a marriage certificate." Gu Yanjing gently flicked her forehead: "Don’t talk nonsense." Qiao Yuxian rubbed the flicked spot, then leaned closer to him, suddenly asking: "Gu Yanjing, do you have a bit of a liking for me?" Gu Yanjing’s expression was almost imperceptibly stunned. He didn’t answer, and Qiao Yuxian didn’t wait for his answer. She placed her hand on his arm, smiling, "I think there’s a bit." Gu Yanjing’s eyelashes lightly fluttered, looking down at her hand. "I know, Grandpa must have told you to be nice to me," Qiao Yuxian said, "But I think you should have a bit of affection for me." Gu Yanjing still didn’t answer, but held her hand and gently rubbed it. Qiao Yuxian smiled and looked at him, her eyes bright like stars: "I really like you, really liked you from the first sight. I don’t know why, mysteriously. Moreover, upon meeting you the first time, it felt like I’d seen you somewhere, but thinking it through, we’ve never met." Gu Yanjing’s lips moved slightly, his throat rolled, holding Qiao Yuxian’s hand with some force. "If I’d seen you, I’d definitely remember," Qiao Yuxian said, "I remember all the handsome ones, not to mention someone as handsome as you." Gu Yanjing’s expression suddenly cooled slightly. Qiao Yuxian didn’t notice, continuing: "It’d be great to meet you earlier. Maybe kids would be running around now." Gu Yanjing listened as she began fantasizing: "......" "Earlier would be fine," Qiao Yuxian said, "I’m quite curious about what Mr. Gu was like as a child, easy to bully or not. Would he cry if bullied?" Gu Yanjing placed his hand on her hair, calmly saying, "When I was young, you were even younger." Qiao Yuxian: "......" "Su Qi went to buy food," Gu Yanjing handed her his phone, the tone still cool, "If there’s anything else to buy, give him a call." Qiao Yuxian took the phone, found Su Qi’s contact, and called him. But after calling, she didn’t say what to buy. After Su Qi greeted "Mr. Gu," she said, "It’s me." Su Qi was visibly taken aback; he hadn’t anticipated that Mr. Gu would bring someone to the company and even hand over his phone. That phone must contain a lot of important stuff. The usually composed Su Qi stuttered slightly, "Old, Boss Lady." Qiao Yuxian laughed and said, "Special Assistant Su, I have nothing else to say. Mainly wanted to brag a bit — Mr. Gu gave me his phone." Gu Yanjing’s eyebrows softly moved. Su Qi was momentarily speechless. "I’m quite happy, needed to show off a bit," Qiao Yuxian said, "That’s all, sorry for the trouble, Special Assistant Su." She hung up the call, leaving Su Qi stunned. Qiao Yuxian held his phone, saying, "Can I make another call?" Gu Yanjing continued with his paperwork, not even lifting his head, "Yes." Qiao Yuxian dialed Shang Chen’s number, and after connecting, she started bragging again. Gu Yanjing fully indulged her. Meanwhile, Shang Chen, idly wandering around Fenglin Villa, was so enraged that he stripped the living room’s potted plants bare...
