Night Fire Lingering

The two were only inches apart, nose to nose, their breaths mingling, as if they were about to kiss at any moment.

Ambiguity is everlasting.

Gu Yanci raised an eyebrow slightly, relaxed his body against the back of the chair, and held her slender waist with one hand.

"What if I said I just want 'Yao'?" Wen Yan breathed softly, deliberately acting coquettishly, "Brother, would you agree?"

Those bright red lips were so close, a taste he hadn't experienced in many days.

That soft, sweet, and endearing "brother" voice made my heart flutter.

Gu Yanci lowered his eyes, and suddenly without any hesitation, reached out and cupped the back of the woman's head, kissing her!

Wen Yan's eyes widened in shock.

Two seconds later, he realized what was happening and immediately pushed the person!

But the man seemed to have foreseen this, and suddenly he grabbed her wrist. Then her body felt light and the world spun around her.

She was pinned between the man's arms and the desk, kissed!

"Ugh! Let go... ugh..."

The lack of oxygen during the passionate kiss made Wenya's body go limp, unable to resist at all.

Only when she had difficulty breathing did the man mercifully release her.

His gaze, looking down at her, was deep and dark, like that of a predatory hunter poised to pounce on its prey.

"Snapped!"

Without hesitation, Wen Yan slapped him across the face and wiped her mouth in disgust.

The sound of the slap was particularly jarring in the quiet CEO's office.

The man, slapped, frowned and gritted his teeth, his voice still a little hoarse as he spoke: "Wen Yan, you're the only one who dares to slap me."

Or twice!

Fortunately, I wasn't too strong from the kiss this time, so there probably won't be any fingerprints left.

"Serves you right!" Wen Yan wasn't afraid at all. Her face was full of disgust, and she was still breathing heavily as she said, "Don't disgust me with your filthy mouth!"

Gu Yanci pinched her chin and sneered, "My lips have already kissed you, are you dirty?"

"You dare to do it but not admit it? What did you and Wen Muzhi do in the office at noon? Do you want me to explain? Gu Yanci, we're all adults, have some shame?"

Gu Yanci looked puzzled: "What?"

"Why were you changing clothes when I arrived?" Wen Yan asked.

"Shouldn't you change your clothes after working out at noon?" Gu Yanci held Wen Yan's hand and placed it on his abdomen. "Don't you like touching this?"

"Who likes it!" Wen Yan pulled her hand back as if she had been electrocuted.

Even she herself didn't know that she had a fetish for touching Gu Yanci's abs after falling asleep.

Wen Yan didn't want to ask him anymore.

It's meaningless and pointless.

He can lie all he wants; who knows if what he's saying is true or false?

Besides, exercise? What kind of exercise? Exercise in bed?

Wen Yan was about to speak when she suddenly froze—

She felt something hard... pressing against her!

"Gu Yanci, this is the company!" Wen Yan exclaimed in shock. "We're getting a divorce!"

The tender atmosphere from before was completely swept away.

Gu Yanci's expression turned cold, and he returned to the previous topic: "'Yao' has already been decided on Wen Muzhi. You can choose any of the other brands from the Gu family."

Wen Yan pushed him away and stood up: "I don't like it, don't disgust me with it!"

What she wanted was not an endorsement for 'Yao' at all.

Instead, Gu Yanci chose her over Wen Muzhi.

Unfortunately, he can't!

I didn't before, and I don't now.

It won't happen again.

-

Gu Yanci's message was conveyed quickly. As soon as Wen Yan returned to the conference room, she received a private message from Sun Xingbai, instructing her to be Gu Yanci's exclusive contact person from now on.

Sun Xingbo quietly sized up Wen Yan.

No wonder he felt that Gu Yanci's attitude towards Wen Yan was not so simple; it turns out he had his eye on this beautiful intern!

Wen Yan was so angry that she went to the bathroom to wash her face with cold water, forcing herself to calm down.

"Xiao Yan, what happened to your mouth?" Zhou Keyi followed Wen Yan into the bathroom and looked at the corner of her mouth in the mirror.

Wen Yan then felt a slight pain at the corner of her mouth; it was because her kiss with Gu Yanci had been too intense, and she had accidentally broken the skin.

"It's because you have a sore throat," Wen Yan said expressionlessly.

Zhou Keyi crossed her arms and scoffed, "Wen Yan, who are you trying to fool? Don't blame me for not warning you, be careful of getting complaints if you have casual relationships with clients during the project!"

"Zhou Lu, you're overthinking it." Wen Yan turned and left, too lazy to say anything more to Zhou Keyi.

complaint?

Please, someone should file a complaint against Gu Yanci, this client, for sexual harassment!

A heavy rain came in the evening.

Wen Yan didn't bring an umbrella. After get off work, she stood in front of the Gu Group building trying to hail a taxi. The wind made her shiver with cold.

An Audi A5 stopped in front of Wen Yan.

The car window rolled down, and the young man in the driver's seat warmly invited, "Junior Wen, let me give you a ride!"

Meng Shuo is a senior from Imperial University, three years ahead of Wen Yan, and is now also in the Mingke project group.

Wen Yan politely declined, "No need, no need! Senior, I'll take a taxi, it's very convenient."

"It's hard to get a taxi these days, junior, don't be shy with me!"

Meng Shuo's car remained parked there, and soon a black... Rolls-Royce pulled up behind him?

Wen Yan was startled and looked over. Sure enough, she saw the passenger window roll down, revealing Zhou Qi's face.

"Tai...Wen Lu!" Zhou Qi almost stammered, unsure whether he was doing it on purpose or not. "Please get in the car, I'll give you a ride!"

The rear windows were still closed, but Wen Yan knew that there must be a man sitting in the back seat—Gu Yanci!

The Rolls-Royce was truly eye-catching, and soon several people waiting for their cars around turned to look at it, their gazes lingering between Wen Yan and the two cars.

Without hesitation, Wen Yan got into the Audi A5.

She absolutely refused to ride in Gu Yanci's car!

Zhou Qi: "..." His smile visibly froze.

He glanced in the rearview mirror and saw that the man's face in the back seat was hidden in the shadows, making it impossible to discern anything. However, the oppressive atmosphere surrounding him made both the man and the driver afraid to even breathe.

"President Gu..." Zhou Qi said tremblingly.

"Who is that?" Gu Yanci asked.

"Look at the car, it's Meng Shuo, a colleague of your wife's legal team." Zhou Qi remembered this person because the general counsel had praised him several times for his good abilities, and Meng Shuo's height, appearance, and temperament were outstanding in a crowd.

Zhou Qi added, "Meng Shuo also graduated from the law school of Beijing University; he's my wife's senior."

Gu Yanci accurately captured the key phrase: "Senior?"

"It's not a new love; I've liked it for a long time."

"—He's a senior student."
