After going bankrupt, the school beauty I was dating became my boss.

Wang Jiaojiao frequently visits the company, but given past experiences, Gu Yannian doesn't dare let her get too close.

“I have a good project here. If you’re willing, I can talk to my dad about giving it to you.”

Gu Yannian glanced at her indifferently, a smile rising in her heart. "I haven't finished my current project yet. Even if you give it to me, I won't have time."

"You should find someone else to take over this project."

Gu Yannian no longer wanted to have much interaction with her. The project leak was still fresh in his mind, and he did not want to experience it again.

"It really wasn't me that time, you have to believe me."

No matter how much Wang Jiaojiao tried to argue, they still refused to believe her.

Gu Yannian said a few words and waved her hand, not wanting to continue the conversation.

“I will definitely have my father hand this project over to you, and you must be in charge then.”

Wang Jiaojiao didn't care about anything else; if she couldn't get the documents from her office...

Her father would definitely not agree to her marriage with Gu Yannian, so all her efforts would be in vain.

"Whatever you want. I have other projects that need to be moved forward, and since it involves company secrets, you should step aside for now."

Wang Jiaojiao was stunned in disbelief. Normally, he would never say such a thing at this time.

But since things have come to this point, even if she wants to salvage the relationship between the two of them, she can only take it slowly and not be too hasty.

"Okay, I will definitely find out the truth about this and clear my name."

Before he knew it, Gu Yannian had been working in the office until evening. When he looked up again, it was already pitch black all around him.

"Brother Gu, are you still not finished with your work?"

"I've finished my work and I'm going back now. You should also take care of yourself and not work for too long."

Gu Yannian tidied up her things and got up to leave, but was quickly pulled back by a look.

He could feel Sun Xiaoxi's gaze fixed on him, a feeling that made him extremely uncomfortable.

"Is there something else you haven't told me?" Gu Yannian turned around immediately when she met her gaze.

I feel that after the project proposal was leaked, the attitudes of the people around me changed drastically.

"Brother Gu, do you have time to give me a ride back to the hotel?" Sun Xiaoxi was certain he would soften and take her back.

Gu Yannian looked at her with some hesitation. It was too early to bring someone back to the hotel.

If someone with malicious intent takes a picture of it and posts it on the company's dark web, it will definitely cause a huge uproar.

"Or you should..."

"Brother Gu, taking a taxi at this time would be more dangerous."

"Alright then." Gu Yannian sighed helplessly, and upon careful consideration, it was indeed the case.

He first sent a message to Su Yanxi about it, just in case she would be angry if she found out.

Neither of them spoke the rest of the way. Sun Xiaoxi really wanted to speak, but seeing Gu Yannian's expression, she could only keep her mouth shut.

"Thank you so much, Brother Gu, for bringing me back. I'll treat you to a meal tomorrow if I have the chance."

Gu Yannian felt something was off the more she listened, but she couldn't quite put her finger on what was wrong.

"No need for meals. The more you contribute to the company, the more you'll benefit me." Gu Yannian walked back to her room.

Sun Xiaoxi didn't expect that even after she had walked to the hotel, she still couldn't attract Gu Yannian's attention.

"I refuse to believe that I can't win you over even if I use every trick in the book."

Sun Xiaoxi turned around and went back to the hotel, opened the closet and took out the clothes that were kept at the bottom of the trunk.

"If this outfit still can't get me, I'll change my mind." Sun Xiaoxi knocked on Gu Yannian's door, confident that it would work.

As soon as Gu Yannian opened the door, he found Sun Xiaoxi dressed sexily, with the subtle cleavage on her chest being quite alluring.

"It's getting late, and I have to go to work tomorrow. Is there anything you forgot to tell me?"

Gu Yannian had already made his point clear. He didn't want the relationship between them to become too strained, which was why he didn't bring it up directly.

But doing so gave Sun Xiaoxi a sense of relief.

She pulled her clothes down, her voice slightly breathless, "I'm here to talk to you about something, Brother Gu, aren't you going to let me in?"

The more she did this, the more awkward Gu Yannian felt, and she always felt a bit uncomfortable, so she didn't want to interfere too much.

Just as Sun Xiaoxi was about to lean on him, he leaned back, creating a gap between them.

"If you want to come in, then come in. Don't use that tone or those actions." Gu Yannian got goosebumps all over when she heard her speak.

He wouldn't have agreed to it if he wasn't afraid she'd attract bad people by standing outside for too long.

"I came here again to apologize to you. I really didn't mean to leak the project." Sun Xiaoxi said, and then stroked Gu Yannian's shoulder again.

Her eyes kept darting in his direction, she was determined to win this time.

"I...I've actually felt guilty for a long time." As she spoke, Sun Xiaoxi slowly pulled down her collar, tears streaming down her face.

Anyone else would find it unbearable, but this move had no effect on Gu Yannian.

"Speak properly and pull your clothes up." Gu Yannian was already a little angry.

I never imagined that letting her in would be like inviting a wolf into the house.

"As a girl, you should definitely respect and love yourself. Do you really think it's okay to suddenly barge into an adult man's room dressed provocatively?"

"I hope this will only happen once."

Gu Yannian's tone was somewhat angry; he hadn't expected things to develop this way.

All of Sun Xiaoxi's movements were stopped by those few words, and she could only laugh and pull up her clothes.

"Okay, then I'll go back first."

Back in her room, recalling everything that had happened there, Sun Xiaoxi felt that she hadn't even had a chance to use her skills before this outcome.

Suddenly, my phone rang. I picked it up and saw that it was Sun Weian calling.

"Sister, could you lend me some more money? I'm just a little short."

"Didn't I give you enough money from selling my photos? I don't have any money on me right now."

Sun Wei'an did not expect that Sun Xiaoxi would be so stubborn, and he could not get an answer no matter how many times he pleaded.

He softened his tone on the other end of the phone, trying to appeal to Sun Xiaoxi's family ties to get her to agree to his request.

"Sis, if you don't give me the money, these people will beat me to death."

Sun Wei'an's words would have moved Sun Xiaoxi in the past, but things are different now.

Sun Xiaoxi shouted into the phone, "Why haven't I killed you yet? I have no money, but I'd rather have your life."
