What are you doing, Mr. President? I'm just an extra!

The rain intensified.

The thunder outside the window sounded like it was tearing a hole in the sky, rumbling and rolling across the clouds.

The atmosphere in the living room, however, was unbearably hot.

Lu Li stared intently at Su Feiyan's fair hand.

[The last round!]

[If I win this round, I'll know which young heartthrob this female demon has her eye on!]

Not only can it satisfy my gossipy nature, but it also lets me know her weaknesses!

If she dares to deduct my salary again, I'll go to that other man and complain that President Su started something and then abandoned me!

Hehehe, perfect plan!

Su Feiyan looked at his darting eyes, a playful smile creeping onto her lips.

This guy.

That's a pretty nice idea.

Do you still want to go and cry to a "wild man"?

Isn't that "wild man" sitting right across from him right now, scheming like a silly roe deer about how to beat her?

"Are you ready?"

Su Feiyan asked.

"Always be prepared!"

Lu Li straightened his back, looking as if he were ready to die.

"Rock, paper, scissors!"

Their voices overlapped.

Extend both hands at the same time.

Freeze.

Lu Lichu's cloth.

Su Feiyan's... was also made of cloth.

draw?

Lu Li blinked, about to say "Again".

But then Su Feiyan's five fingers, which had been spread out, suddenly and very naturally and smoothly closed into two.

cloth.

It turned into scissors.

Lu Li: "???"

Lu Li stared wide-eyed, pointing at Su Feiyan's hand, his mouth agape enough to fit an egg.

"Mr. Su?"

"What is this...?"

[Holy crap?!]

[You changed your hand gestures right in front of me? Don't you have any conscience?]

Is this the ugly face of capitalists?

Su Feiyan remained calm.

She slowly withdrew her hand, picked up her wine glass, and took a sip.

"What's wrong?"

"Do you have a problem with that?"

Those peach blossom eyes were slightly upturned, their gazes sparkling.

Lu Li shrank his neck.

"No... I wouldn't dare."

"I just think... Mr. Su, your reaction speed is truly astonishing."

"The speed is comparable to someone who's been single for thirty years."

Su Feiyan chuckled softly.

"Thank you for your concession."

"Since I won..."

She put down her wine glass.

The sound of the glass hitting the marble coffee table was particularly crisp in the quiet living room.

Lu Li's heart skipped a beat.

What kind of trouble is this woman going to cause this time?

Is it a dare?

Are you suggesting I run naked outside? Or that I chug this whole bottle of red wine in one go?

[System! Help! This woman has no sportsmanship!]

The system didn't respond at all, probably because it was stunned by Su Feiyan's actions and was crashing in the background.

Su Feiyan didn't speak; she just looked at Lu Li.

then.

She moved.

Instead of sitting back down on the sofa, she stood up abruptly.

step.

Two steps.

She walked barefoot on the thick wool carpet without making a sound.

The black fishtail skirt rippled gently against her snow-white legs as she walked, like waves in the night.

Lu Li leaned back instinctively.

"Mr. Su?"

"A bet's a bet. So, what's your choice: truth or dare?"

"I can handle it!"

"As long as it's not about borrowing money, anything is negotiable!"

Lu Li chuckled as he tried to shrink into the corner of the sofa.

But this sofa is only so big.

Where else can he retreat to?

Su Feiyan stopped in front of him, looking down at him.

The scent emanating from her, a blend of rich red wine and cool perfume, wafted into Lu Li's nostrils.

It smells great, but it also feels very oppressive.

"Truth or Dare..."

Su Feiyan murmured, reaching out a hand and resting it on the back of the sofa next to Lu Li's head.

I want them all.

The voice just fell.

Her body sank down, and she pressed down on him.

The standard "sofa slam".

The distance between the two was brought to its limit.

He was so close that he could see his own terrified reflection in her pupils.

So close...

With just a slight lowering of his head, he could see that snow-white abyss that was enough to make one's blood boil.

[Holy crap! Holy crap! Holy crap! Holy crap!]

This is absolutely amazing!

Is this workplace harassment?

Should I shout "molestation"?

But... it seems like I didn't lose out, did I?

Lu Li felt like his brain was about to explode.

My body was stiff, and I dared not move at all.

I was afraid that if I moved even slightly, I would touch something I shouldn't.

Let alone a ten million yuan bonus.

It's estimated that its three legs would be broken and it would be thrown into the Huangpu River to feed the fish.

Su Feiyan looked at his dazed expression, and the smile in her eyes deepened.

A strand of her long hair fell down.

The ends of her hair gently brushed against Lu Li's cheek, tickling her.

It felt like ants were crawling on the tip of my heart.

"Lu Li".

She called his name.

It was no longer that cold, commanding tone, but rather a soft, nasal voice that I had never heard before.

"You've been acting a bit strange this week."

Lu Li's Adam's apple bobbed, and he swallowed hard.

"Strange, weird?"

"W-what's strange about it?"

"I have always been diligent and conscientious, dedicating myself to the Su Group until my dying breath..."

"Shhh."

Su Feiyan extended a finger and pressed it against his lips.

The coolness of her fingertips ignited a fire on Lu Li's lips.

Don't give me that bureaucratic talk.

Su Feiyan narrowed her eyes, her gaze sweeping over his face.

"You used to want to stay as far away from me as possible."

"Every day at the end of the workday, I run faster than a rabbit."

"But what about these past few days?"

"She helped me fend off drinks, fixed my zipper, and even got jealous of someone else at the banquet because of me."

"even……"

Her gaze moved downwards and lingered on Lu Li's Adam's apple.

"In the middle of the night, a man and a woman alone together, she insisted on dragging me into this kind of ambiguous game."

Su Feiyan looked into Lu Li's eyes again.

Those beautiful peach blossom eyes seemed to hold two bottomless whirlpools, threatening to suck Lu Li's soul in.

"Speak."

"Are you...?"

She paused, then parted her red lips slightly:

"Want to pursue me?"

Boom—!

Just then, a clap of thunder sounded outside the window.

This shocked Lu Li so badly that he was scorched on the outside and tender on the inside.

Holy crap!!!

We've been discovered?!

Is this woman's intuition like radar?

"Wait a minute! I did that for the mission!"

[I'm doing this to survive! For the system's rewards! For that damn charm points and cash!]

"How could I dare to pursue you, sis!"

Every single man who pursued you in the original story ended up dying a horrible death!

[Especially Ye Fan, he's still contemplating life next to the trash can!]

All I want is to be a quiet, handsome man, do my job for money, and then retire to a remote island!

Lu Li roared wildly in his heart.

But she still had to try hard to maintain her facial expressions.

But his dilated pupils and rapid breathing had already betrayed his inner panic.

"that……"

"President Su, you've misunderstood."

Lu Liqian chuckled twice and tried to move Su Feiyan's hands off the sofa.

But this woman was incredibly strong.

Not moving.

"I'm doing this purely for work!"

"Think about it, I'm your assistant, and maintaining your image is my job."

"As for tonight..."

Lu Li's eyes darted around.

"Tonight isn't... isn't this to celebrate our resounding victory!"

"real!"

"My admiration for you, Mr. Su, is like a surging river, never-ending, and like the Yellow River overflowing its banks, unstoppable..."

"But I have absolutely no improper thoughts about you!"

"Even if I had the desire, I wouldn't have the guts!"

"In my heart, you are like a flower on a high mountain, the moon in the sky, to be admired from afar and never to be touched..."

Lu Li's lips flew across the page, unleashing a torrent of flattery, attempting to drown out this fatal problem with a barrage of nonsensical words.

Su Feiyan listened quietly.

Neither interrupt nor express an opinion.

But the mockery in those eyes grew stronger.

She can hear.

I heard that frantic denial in the guy's mind.

But I also heard a faint tremor hidden beneath the surface of panic...

Do you have no improper thoughts?

Oh.

What was she thinking when she was fixing the zipper?

What was she thinking when she was walking barefoot just now?

What a hypocritical little liar.

However, since he wanted to act, she would play along with him.

Anyway, she gets to decide how the script is written now.

"Yeah?"

Su Feiyan asked softly in return.

He pressed his body down another inch.

This time.

Their noses almost touched.

Lu Li could even feel the heat of her breath on his face, carrying an intoxicating aroma of wine.

"But……"

Su Feiyan's voice was so low it sounded like a murmur.

"What if I said I didn't mind if you had inappropriate thoughts?"

Lu Li was completely dumbfounded.

My mind went completely blank.

【What? 】

Did I hear that right?

What did she say?

[You don't mind?]

What does this mean?

Is this... a hint at me?

Is this still a case of entrapment?

[If I dare to nod, a hundred burly men in black will rush in and hack me to death the next second?]

Lu Li was torn between his own thoughts and his inner turmoil.

Reason told him: Run! This is a trap! This is a death trap!

But emotions are screaming: Go for it! If you don't go for it, are you even a man? This kind of super-rich woman is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity!

Su Feiyan couldn't help but laugh when she saw his dazed expression.

She reached out her hand.

He grabbed Lu Li's chin.

This forced him to raise his head and look directly into his own eyes.

"Lu Li".

Look here.

I'm serious.

Su Feiyan suppressed her smile, her eyes becoming exceptionally serious.

It even carried a hint of gentleness that Lu Li had never seen before...

"If you want to pursue me, just say so."

"It's not like I'm not giving them a chance."

At this moment, Lu Li's heart skipped a beat.

There were no system notification sounds.

There are no rewards for completing the task.

It's simply that, as a man, when faced with such a direct "invitation" from a top-tier beautiful woman...

That instinctive, uncontrollable flutter of the heart.

[Is there... a chance?]

Is there really a chance?

[The cold-blooded, ruthless Su Feiyan from the original novel, who treats men like tools, actually said she'd give me a chance?]

Could it be... that my charm is really that strong?

Or is it that she's actually a sucker for good looks, and is simply captivated by my damn handsomeness?

Lu Li's throat tightened.

He looked at Su Feiyan, who was so close to him.

That face was flawless, and the skin was as smooth as fine porcelain.

Under the dim yellow light, it gleamed with a soft sheen.

Especially her lips, painted with a retro red lipstick.

She looked a little damp because she had just drunk some alcohol.

full.

tender and beautiful.

Like a ripe cherry, it exudes an enticing aroma, waiting to be picked.

Lu Li felt the alcohol burning inside him, completely extinguishing his reason.

He reached out and supported Su Feiyan's waist as if possessed.

It feels great to the touch.

The fabric of that fishtail dress was silky and cool, but the temperature under my palm was warm, soft, and surprisingly elastic.

Su Feiyan didn't dodge; instead, she moved even closer.

Their bodies were almost touching.

There were only two thin layers of fabric in between.

They could even feel each other's heartbeats.

dong dong.

dong dong.

I don't know whose is faster.

"but……"

Su Feiyan's voice became somewhat ethereal.

Her gaze lingered on Lu Li's lips, her eyes unfocused.

"It's not that easy to win me over."

"You have to wait in line."

"It also depends on your performance."

Lu Li swallowed hard.

"So... what counts as good performance?"

Su Feiyan curled her lips into a smile.

"Like now."

She moved even closer.

The two women's lips were less than a centimeter apart.

That kind of subtle, almost imperceptible touch.

That tension that's about to break taboos.

This made the hairs on Lu Li's body stand on end.

Never mind!

So be it!

To die beneath the peony blossoms, even as a ghost, is to be romantic!

If I don't get that kiss, I'll regret it for the rest of my life!

Lu Li's heart was broken.

Close your eyes.

Tilt your head slightly.

He kissed those red lips that were so close to his.

ten centimeters.

Five centimeters.

One centimeter.

That instant.

Lu Li seemed to smell an even stronger fragrance emanating from Su Feiyan.

It was as if I could feel the warmth of her breath.

It was as if I could hear my own heart pounding.

At this critical moment.

Just a second before their lips were about to touch.

Snapped!

A crisp sound.

Followed by.

The whole world was plunged into darkness.

The wall lamp was originally dim and ambiguous.

Extinguished.

Only a flash of lightning outside the window briefly illuminated the stiff posture of the two people in the living room.

then.

Endless darkness once again.

power cut.

Lu Li: "..."

Su Feiyan: "..."

That kiss.

It just stopped abruptly in mid-air.

Lu Li remained in that pouting pose, her whole demeanor cracking.

【I*****!】

【What a shabby villa!】

[Can a multi-million dollar mansion really lose power?]

Where are the property management staff? Where are the security guards? Where are they all?

My first kiss!

It was just a matter of 0.01 millimeters!

This is just too much!

Lu Li cursed the developer's ancestors in his mind.

This feeling is like when you're playing a game and fighting a boss. You've finally whittled the boss down to its last drop of health, and you're about to unleash your ultimate attack to finish it off.

The network cable was unplugged.

Who can stand this!
