With a "click", the door opened and Ji Shengzhou rushed in with a cold look on his face.

Lu Tang stood at the door, his lips twisted into a line: "Mr. Ji, why are you looking for me at this hour instead of accompanying your fiancée?"

Ji Shengzhou lowered his eyes and fixed them on the slippers that Gu Peisi had just taken off.

Suddenly, the air around him seemed to freeze, and even the temperature of the room dropped along with his anger.

"Throw it out." Ji Shengzhou raised the corner of his mouth, revealing his suppressed anger.

Special Assistant Wang squeezed in through the gap in the door and threw the shoes out.

The atmosphere was so depressing that Lu Tang couldn't breathe. She took a step back subconsciously.

It was this step that became the fuse that ignited Ji Shengzhou's anger.

Before Lu Tang could react, he pressed down on her.

There was a wall behind Lu Tang, and her body was trapped under Ji Shengzhou.

His eyes were grim and his voice was cold: "Lu Tang, I'm warning you one last time, stay away from him."

Ji Shengzhou's big hand fell on her waist, and with a little force, he pushed Lu Tang against the wall.

Lu Tang was a stubborn person. She smiled and scoffed, "What position does Mr. Ji have to say this to me? Or is he jealous?"

Ji Shengzhou's eyes were bloodshot and he increased the strength of his hands.

The answer given to Lu Tang was not a specific sentence, but his domineering and arrogant kiss.

Ji Shengzhou supported her from behind, his slender fingers resting on her neck.

He pinched Lu Tang's chin forcefully, forcing her to respond to his kiss.

The room was very quiet, and the breathing sounds of the two people entangled together seemed to be amplified countless times.

Lu Tang was held in his arms, and was forced by his body to walk step by step towards the balcony.

The balcony of this house is a large floor-to-ceiling window, and you can clearly see the scene outside the window.

But you can't see inside from the outside.

Lu Tang had never paid attention to this problem, she didn't know, so she panicked.

Her body became limp from Ji Shengzhou's kiss, and she didn't have any strength left.

Ji Shengzhou held her waist with one hand and placed the other on her face.

He lowered his eyes and buried his lips behind her ear.

"Lu Tang, do you think Gu Peisi is watching us from across the balcony?" His voice was low and magnetic, and his playful tone reached its peak.

Suddenly, Lu Tang's body trembled, and his voice became trembling: "No... Not here!"

She tried to turn around, but her body didn't have the strength to do so.

She wanted to turn her head, but Ji Shengzhou's hand controlled her, so she could only look straight at the room on the opposite floor.

Coincidentally, Gu Peisi was standing on the balcony opposite.

His eyes turned over here, and Lu Tang's body trembled with nervousness.

Every movement of her body was captured in Ji Shengzhou's eyes.

As soon as Gu Peisi was mentioned, Lu Tang reacted.

Ji Shengzhou frowned, his eyes filled with anger: "The choice is not yours!"

Lu Tang lowered his head, and tears fell from the corners of his eyes.

She had no feelings for Gu Peisi. She didn't know that one couldn't see inside through the window. She was just scared.

Ji Shengzhou is extremely energetic.

"I'm begging you! No!"

"Ji Shengzhou! I'm not well yet. The doctor said I can't do this. It hurts!"

There was a sobbing tone in her voice and tears fell down in big drops, looking pitiful.

Lu Tang has learned her lesson and knows that she will gain nothing by talking back to him.

Then just act like Lu Xiaoxiao and try to please her and get sympathy.

Lu Tang just wanted to give it a try, but he didn't expect that this trick would really work on Ji Shengzhou.

Although she was kept busy until very late tonight, she could clearly feel that Ji Shengzhou was restraining himself.

The next morning, when Lu Tang opened his eyes, he was no longer there.

She lay on the bed, staring at the ceiling boredly, and suddenly the words Ji Shengzhou said last night popped into her mind.

"Lu Tang, I'm warning you, stay away from Gu Peisi."

Gu Peisi also said this to her.

A question arose in her mind: could there be a grudge between the two of them?

But Lu Tang immediately dismissed the idea.

Gu Peisi and Ji Shengzhou met in front of Grandpa Ji last night.

If Gu Peisi and the Ji family were not on good terms, he would not have appeared there last night.

Before Lu Tang could figure it out, Aunt Rong called.

Lu Tang picked up the phone on the bedside table and pressed the call button.

Aunt Rong's cheerful voice came from the other end of the phone: "Xiaotang, Taoxi Mountain has been found. Come to the company soon."

Hearing this, Lu Tang hung up the phone and quickly got up from the bed.

After packing up, she went to the company.

The project at Taoxi Mountain was proposed by Lu Tang.

The Lu Group assists in designing the duration, but it also develops in the real estate market.

When the Lu Group just started to recover, Lu Tang set his sights on this piece of land.

All indicators on Taoxi Mountain meet the standards, and Lu Tang plans to develop this land and take a gamble.

If successful, it will bring immeasurable benefits to the Lu Group.

If they lose, the losses to the Lu Group will be huge.

This decision is very important, so Lu Tang has to personally evaluate the land.

The car stopped outside the Lu Group and Lu Tang entered the company.

She wasn't the only one who had her eyes on this piece of land, so she had to act quickly.

After she gave Aunt Rong her approval, she immediately convened a meeting.

Taoxi Mountain is not in City A, it is very far away, and she cannot come back within a week.

All these things in the company must be arranged before she leaves.

"Aunt Rong, come with me to conduct the evaluation. While I'm away on business, Gu Peisi, the head of the design department, will temporarily take over the position of prime minister." Lu Tang stood in the conference room with a serious expression.

Apart from Aunt Rong, the only person who can take charge of the entire company is Gu Peisi.

He had led a company in Europe and had experience, and Lu Tang trusted him.

As for Aunt Rong, why did Lu Tang take her with him when she had just had surgery and had difficulty walking?

Taoxi Mountain is Aunt Rong’s hometown, and Aunt Rong is familiar with the place.

After the meeting, everyone dispersed and only Gu Peisi was left in the meeting room.

"Xiaotang, I don't agree with your decision." He stood up and stopped Lu Tang.

Lu Tang looked relieved and sat on the chair next to him: "Why?"

Gu Peisi pondered for a few moments: "Xiaotang, the mountain over there has never been developed. It's very dangerous."

"I know." Lu Tang took over his words, "Brother Pei Si, no matter how dangerous it is, I have to go."

"You have to take me with you." Gu Peisi's eyes were full of worry.

Lu Tang rejected him bluntly: "No, what will happen to the company if you leave?"

Before he finished speaking, Gu Peisi stood up, his tone becoming increasingly anxious: "Xiaotang, have you thought about what to do if something happens? The situation in the mountains is very complicated. How do we deal with flash floods? How do we deal with landslides? Have you prepared any rescue measures?"

He subconsciously held Lu Tang's shoulders with both hands, his eyes complicated.

A barrage of questions came at Lu Tang, but she couldn't answer any of them.

After realizing that he had lost his composure, Gu Peisi took a deep breath and said, "Xiaotang, take me with you. I have experience and I can help you."

Lu Tang frowned, and even heard a hint of begging in Gu Peisi's tone.

Finally, Lu Tang relented: "Okay."
