My sister regretted sending me to the correctional facility.

Wu Wanyue gave me a timely reminder.

I secretly made a mental note of it.

Then, I did as I had agreed with Gu Yao before.

She went to her CEO's office.

Upon entering the office.

I saw that Gu Yao was dressed very beautifully today.

Moreover, she wore very exquisite makeup.

When she saw me come in.

She even came up to me and asked, "Lu Yi, how do you think I am today?"

Because Wu Wanyue had reminded me beforehand.

So, at this moment, when I'm facing Gu Yao...

He had already become secretly on guard.

I nodded outwardly: "Yes, you look beautiful today."

Gu Yao walked up to me with a smile.

She looked at me hopefully and asked, "Do you like me like this?"

I was slightly stunned.

A cold smile immediately surfaced in his mind.

Gu Yao is setting a trap for me.

Regardless of whether I answer "like" or "dislike".

They would all fall into the trap.

So I changed the subject.

"By the way, Gu Yao, didn't you call me yesterday saying you needed my help with something?"

"I'm already here. What do you want me to do for you?"

Gu Yao immediately changed the subject when she saw me.

A look of displeasure immediately appeared on her face.

But she needed my help.

Gu Yao could no longer get angry at me directly like before.

And I just happened to have grasped that point perfectly.

Gu Yao said with a coquettish tone, "Oh dear! Lu Yi, why have you become such a silly goose!"

"We've known each other for so many years, and we grew up together. We're childhood sweethearts, aren't we?"

Why are you so serious? It's like I owe you millions.

I gave a faint, cold laugh and said, "That's not right, Gu Yao. You used to be very resistant to the idea of ​​us being childhood sweethearts."

Upon hearing this, Gu Yao's voice faltered, and an awkward smile appeared on her face.

She stammered, "That was all in the past. I was young and didn't know any better back then."

"Lu Yi, you're a man, why are you still dwelling on the past?"

"I'm just a little girl, isn't it normal for me to be a little willful?"

Hearing this, I almost burst out laughing.

Gu Yao is already over thirty years old.

Still dreaming like a little girl.

It seems that Gu Yao still doesn't have a clear understanding of herself!

And I'm too lazy to continue arguing about this issue.

Just at this time.

There was a knock on the CEO's office door.

A simple, honest female voice came from behind.

"Mr. Gu, Mr. Qian has arrived downstairs at the company."

Upon hearing the words "Mr. Qian," Gu Yao's expression instantly changed.

I looked towards the doorway and saw Gu Yao's newly hired female secretary.

She was chubby and not particularly pretty.

Then I remembered what Wu Wanyue said to me last night.

I immediately found it amusing.

Gu Yao's jealousy and sense of crisis grew stronger with age.

"I see."

Gu Yao quickly replied, "Let him wait downstairs."

"Yes, Mr. Gu!"

After the secretary left.

I saw the panicked and sighing expression on Gu Yao's face.

She looked at me with a worried expression.

"Lu Yi, I've recently run into a huge problem!"

"What trouble?"

I looked at Gu Yao knowingly.

From the moment Gu Yao frowned.

I already guessed it.

Gu Yao is about to start her act of playing the victim.

There's nothing I can do; I know her too well.

After all, I had a crush on her for so many years.

He knew every single emotion she evoked intimately.

Gu Yao indeed showed a wronged and pitiful expression.

Any man would be in her current state if he saw her like this.

They would definitely soften instantly.

Like a pitiful little kitten that needs protection.

But my heart remained as hard as iron, and I looked at her with a faint smile.

Gu Yao said, "There is a very annoying man who wants to pursue me, but I don't like him. However, he keeps pursuing me, and I can't get rid of him."

"Look what happened, he came to my company again today! I'm so annoyed by men like him!"

From Gu Yao's complaints.

I sensed three parts displeasure, three parts smugness, and four parts a reminder to me!

That seems to be saying...

I'm a hot seller, and I have tons of guys chasing after me!

It's your good fortune that I've taken a liking to you, Lu Yi!

Don't waste this opportunity, kid!

Then, I replied casually.

"Isn't that great?"

"what?"

Gu Yao probably didn't expect my answer to be so direct.

This was completely unexpected for her.

I continued, "Gu Yao, you're already thirty-one years old. At this age, you're still not married and there's no man to take care of you."

"Isn't it a great opportunity for a man to pursue you at this time?"

"This is a good opportunity for you to fall in love, and if you're lucky, you might get married right away."

Gu Yao was about to be driven crazy by what I said.

She said angrily, "Lu Yi, what do you mean by that? Are you trying to push me away?"

I pretended to be clueless: "Huh? What do you mean? I don't understand."

Why would I push you away? I'm doing this for your happiness!

As soon as these words came out.

Gu Yao felt a strange sense of familiarity.

When she sent me to the reformatory.

But they used the same excuse!

"Lu Yi, I'm doing this for your own good!"

Now, the boomerang from years ago has finally pierced her own body.

Gu Yao was so angry with me that she trembled all over and her face turned pale.

She gritted her teeth and said, "Lu Yi! No matter what you mean!"

"But from now on, you must cooperate with me in everything I do!"

"Otherwise, my previous promise to hand Zhao Ming over to you will be null and void!"

I knew it all along that Gu Yao would use Zhao Ming's matter as leverage to coerce me.

Although I, Lu Yi, have been threatened since I was a child.

But that doesn’t mean I have to continue accepting Gu Yao’s threats from now on!

I simply looked at Gu Yao calmly.

"I can accommodate you for normal matters."

"I won't do anything that crosses my bottom line."

Gu Yao clenched her fists in anger, glaring at me intently.

She never expected that I would talk back to her and try to bargain with her at this time!

After all, I had never dared to do that in front of her before.

Gu Yao wanted to threaten me a few more times.

Just then, her phone rang.

Because we delayed for too long.

Qian Sheng, who was below, was already getting impatient.

Therefore, Gu Yao's new secretary has already called to urge her.

Gu Yao yelled into the phone, "I know I have to go down. Do I need you to call and tell me how?"

"Hurry up, hurry up! What else can you do besides nagging me?"

"You'll be reporting to another department tomorrow; you don't need to be my secretary anymore!"

I stared at Gu Yao in disbelief.

It's only been one day.

Did she fire the new secretary right away?

As the ancients said, serving a ruler is like serving a tiger.

Gu Yao is a tigress even more terrifying than ancient emperors.
