The aloof beauty always has weak legs; the crazy boss is too ruthless.

Chapter 102 She's becoming more and more like Mu Sen
"Don't daydream." Seeing that Lu Siqi was out of it again, Hua Xu stood up and reminded her, "You need to read carefully and remember all the key points, otherwise you'll suffer the consequences."

Realizing that she still couldn't help but think of Mu Sen, Lu Siqi pulled herself out of her thoughts and closed the text. "I will definitely read it carefully."

Hua Xu didn't say anything more. He went upstairs to change his clothes before coming back down.

Lu Siqi had also changed into a more professional suit, put her long hair up, and applied light makeup, exuding a white-collar professional vibe.

Seeing her like this, Hua Xu thought of her in her flight suit and couldn't help but walk up to her and stare at her intently: "I actually prefer you in your police uniform. You look so dashing and beautiful."

“The reason you like seeing me in my police uniform is because deep down you have a strong desire to be a police officer.” Lu Siqi looked up and met his gaze. “What you actually like to see isn’t me, it’s the police uniform I’m wearing.”

Hua Xu earnestly corrected him, "I only like the way you look in your police uniform. Do you think a 40-year-old man would mistake admiration for romantic love?"

Feeling his gaze growing increasingly intense, Lu Siqi turned her face away.

Seeing that she was trying to escape, Hua Xu reached out and pinched her chin, lifting her face up. He no longer restrained his feelings for her. "I have reached my current position by stepping on the corpses of countless people. I know that my hands are stained with blood and I am not worthy to touch you. That is why I have been restraining my feelings for you. My restraint does not mean that I only like you."

"I also feel jealous. I'm jealous that Lin Chen gets you, while I can only be a knight to protect you."

"If it weren't because I'm not good enough for you, I would have already taken you from Lin Chen."

Hua Xu grabbed her hand and pressed it down.

When her palm was burned, Lu Siqi immediately tried to pull her hand back in disgust.

Hua Xu pressed down on her hand, his eyes filled with desire as he warned her, "Don't question my feelings for you anymore, or you'll easily anger me and make me lose control."

……

Before going to Huaxi Group, Lu Siqi washed her hands several times.

After getting into the car, I kept a certain distance from Hua Xu and sat in a window seat.

Seeing that she was rejecting him was an expected result. Although Hua Xu felt disappointed, he respected her choice and did not push her too hard.

Arrived at Huaxi Group 20 minutes later.

Before Hua Xu could open the car door for her, Lu Siqi quickly opened the door and got out.

Seeing her reaction, Hua Xu walked up to her after the driver drove away and whispered, "There's no need to avoid me like this. Even if you make me lose control, I won't do anything to you that Lin Chen did. You know, compared to Lin Chen, I have no right to touch you."

Realizing her reaction was too extreme, Lu Siqi looked up. "That's not what I meant, I just..."

"You don't need to explain to me, and you shouldn't feel guilty towards me. Liking you was my own choice, and it has nothing to do with you."

After saying that, he strode into the company building.

Lu Siqi quickly followed, knowing that she would only make things worse by explaining, so she walked silently beside Hua Xu without saying another word.

As I approached the private elevator, I caught a glimpse of a familiar figure out of the corner of my eye—it was Duanzi. I was about to go over and say hello when I saw his face covered in bruises.

Duanzi also saw her, her eyes filled with a mixture of surprise and grievance. However, seeing that the man beside her was Hua Xu, the president of Huaxi Group, his inferiority complex prevented him from daring to approach and acknowledge her. The elevator doors opened at that moment, and Hua Xu went in. He noticed that Lu Siqi kept turning her head away. When he came out, he looked in the direction she was looking and saw a short, stout man wearing a Huaxi uniform, who appeared to be from the telemarketing department. "Do you know him?"

"He's a friend of mine." Seeing Duanzi turn and walk into the stairwell, Lu Siqi quickly followed after him.

Duanzi ran upstairs as soon as he entered the stairwell, because his remaining pride prevented him from letting the woman he once admired see him in such an unsightly state.

"Joke!" Lu Siqi shouted as soon as she entered the stairwell, "I know you! You stop right there!"

She ran quickly up the stairs and finally caught up with him on the third floor. "Duanzi! It's me, Lin Cuiying!"

Knowing that she was Lin Cuiying, Duanzi faced the wall. In the past few months, he had been frequently beaten and humiliated at Huaxi Group for failing to meet performance targets. He was no longer the optimistic and cheerful fat man he used to be. "You've mistaken me for someone else. I'm not Duanzi, and I don't know any Lin Cuiying."

"If this isn't a joke, then why did you run away when you saw me?" Grabbing his shoulder, she forcefully turned him around. The motion-activated light came on, and Lu Siqi noticed his bruised and swollen face. "They beat you up? Why didn't you call and tell Mu Sen? Brother Kai is already in jail; he's the boss now."

She took out her phone to call Mu Sen, "I'll call him now and have him pick you up and take you back to Jianghong."

Upon hearing that she was going to call Mu Sen, Duanzi instantly burst into tears, saying, "Don't call Brother Sen, it's my fault, I've embarrassed Brother Sen."

……

After calming down, Duanzi apologized to Lu Siqi and then recounted her experiences at Huaxi Group over the past few months.

If performance targets are not met, they will go hungry and suffer the scorn of their colleagues. Being beaten, verbally abused, and humiliated has long been the norm.

“It’s not that I don’t want to go back to Jianghong, it’s that I’ve come to understand something after I got here. I can’t rely on Brother Sen for the rest of my life.” Duanzi wiped away his tears, keeping his head down. “I’m already over 30, and I’m still so clumsy with words. I’m lazy and always rely on Brother Sen to support me. Brother Sen can support me for a year or two, but he can’t support me for the rest of my life. I can’t go back and cause trouble for Brother Sen.”

After hearing his words, Lu Siqi suddenly understood something. "Do you already know the joke?"

"I don't know anything." Duanzi immediately seemed a little flustered. He was not good at lying, so he quickly waved his hands: "Cuiying, don't talk nonsense. I don't know anything, I really don't know anything."

His reaction clearly indicated that he knew something.

Since things had come to this point, Lu Siqi didn't bring it up. "No matter what you know, Mu Sen has never looked down on you. You're not suited to stay at Huaxi Group. Listen to me, go back to Jianghong."

"But I'm really afraid of causing trouble for Brother Sen!"

"Given your situation, staying at Huaxi would only cause him trouble."

Duanzi immediately shook his head: "I'm keeping my mouth shut! Don't worry, Cuiying, even if I die, I would never drag Sen down with me!"

"What nonsense are you talking about, what death?" Lu Siqi suddenly stopped, raising her hand to tap his head.

Because she realized at that moment that some of her actions were becoming more and more like Mu Sen's.

Musen used to frequently start jokes...

"Cuiying, what's wrong?" Seeing her in a daze, Duanzi thought he had said something wrong and made her angry, so he quickly apologized, "I'm sorry, Cuiying, I will never mention the word 'death' again, please don't be angry."

Coming to her senses, Lu Siqi withdrew her hand. "Don't overthink it. Go to work first. I'll call Mu Sen later and see what his plans are for you."
