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

Chapter 51 Countdown to Confiscating the Crime Tools

Some things, once you've tasted their sweetness, you can never go back.

For example, rights.

For example, money.

For example, the temperature of Su Feiyan's lips.

The afternoon sun in Jianghai City was still dazzling, but when it shone on Lu Li, it made him feel like he was soaking in a hot spring.

warm.

He stood on the muddy ground of the construction site, his left hand unconsciously stroking his left cheek.

There seemed to be a slight dampness still lingering there.

It's soft.

It smells good.

It felt like being gently brushed by a piece of top-grade mutton-fat jade, or like being touched by a dew-covered petal.

【? 】

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

Lu Li's mind was completely blank except for those two words.

All intelligence, all strategy, all吐槽 (tu cao, a Chinese internet slang term for sarcastic or critical remarks) energy fizzled out in the face of Su Feiyan's fleeting kiss.

This is Su Feiyan!

That ruthless, cold-blooded, and cruel villainous female demon who treated men like dogs in the original story!

That aloof female CEO who threatens to drown him, chop off his hands, and gouge out his eyes at the drop of a hat!

She actually kissed herself?

Even though it's just on the cheek.

But the nature of it has completely changed!

It's like having a tigress you've been raising. She usually just bares her teeth at you, but one day she suddenly comes over, puts away her claws, rubs her furry head against your leg, and even meows.

Who can stand this?

Lu Li felt like her heart was about to jump out of her throat.

"What are you still standing there for?"

Su Feiyan's voice came through.

It has returned to its former quiet and cold state.

Lu Li came to his senses.

Su Feiyan turned around and strode towards the Rolls-Royce Phantom with her long legs that exuded the aura of a runway even when stepping into mud.

Her back was straight.

Slender waist.

Her hips were perfectly rounded and perky, encased in those black suit trousers.

As you walk, the swaying from side to side is just right.

Too much and it's tacky; too little and it's dull.

That's the charm of a top-tier mature woman.

Lu Li swallowed hard and quickly jogged after him.

【etc!】

[They've already kissed, does that mean... my mission is complete?]

As Lu Li ran, he frantically called out to the system in his mind.

[System! System, you son of a bitch! Stop playing dead!]

[Hurry up and finish the task!]

[Have I completed my "reverse strategy" mission?]

I've already sacrificed my dignity to this extent, even letting a rich woman take advantage of my face. If this isn't enough, I'll sue you at the Consumer Association!

Lu Li opened the car door.

A blast of cold air hit me.

It was the distinctive scent of genuine leather from a luxury car, mixed with the faint, cool fragrance emanating from Su Feiyan.

The smell, now, is damnably tempting.

Su Feiyan was already sitting in the back seat.

She took off her muddy high heels and lowered the partition separating the front and rear of the car.

She even took off her stockings!

My feet were on the thick, soft wool carpet.

Those feet were very white.

The instep arches in a pleasing curve, and faint blue veins can be seen under the skin.

Her toes were round and cute, painted with deep red nail polish.

Red and white.

It has a very strong visual impact.

Lu Li felt as if his gaze was being drawn to a magnet, and he couldn't look away.

"Is it pretty?"

Su Feiyan didn't look at him, but took out a bottle of Evian water from the car refrigerator next to her.

Unscrew it.

He tilted his head back and took a sip.

Her slender neck created a graceful line.

His throat moved.

Lu Li quickly got into the car, closed the door, and kept the bodyguards who were still in a daze outside.

The interior space is very large.

It was also very quiet.

"So...beautiful."

Lu Li answered honestly.

Lying to this woman is pointless.

Especially this kind of reaction.

Su Feiyan's lips curled into a faint smile.

She didn't intend to wear shoes.

Instead, he leaned back slightly against the leather seat, turned his head, and looked at Lu Li.

His eyes were playful.

"Since it looks good, let's take a second look."

Lu Li thought to himself, "Is this some kind of sarcastic or strange tone?"

Just then.

That cold, mechanical voice finally rang in his mind.

【Ding! 】

[System check in progress...]

[Intimate physical contact (face-to-face) between the host and the target "Su Feiyan" has been detected, significantly increasing intimacy!]

Current intimacy level: 79 (extremely ambiguous)

Lu Li was overjoyed.

[79? Does that mean it's a sure thing?]

however.

The system's next sentence was like pouring liquid nitrogen on him.

[Task assessment in progress...]

【Task Name: Reverse Strategy】

[Task requirement: Get Su Feiyan to confess her feelings within one week.]

Current progress: Incomplete.

[Reason for judgment: Although the target person has extremely high affection for the host and has developed a strong possessive and protective instinct, they did not utter any explicit words of confession during this contact (such as "I love you," "Be my boyfriend," "You are mine," or other key phrases).]

[Remaining time for the mission: 05 hours, 58 minutes, and 23 seconds.]

[Friendly Reminder: If the mission fails, the items will be confiscated.]

Lu Li's smile froze instantly.

What did you say?

[Incomplete?]

[They've already kissed, isn't that a confession?]

Are you trying to steal my reward?

The system responded indifferently:

Kissing is a form of physical expression, not a verbal declaration of love.

In some Western countries, this is called a cheek kiss.

Lu Li almost spat out a mouthful of blood.

[What the hell! A cheek kiss!]

[Does Su Feiyan look like the type to give cheek kisses? She always wears gloves when she shakes hands!]

Less than six hours left?

Lu Li glanced at his phone.

Five o'clock in the afternoon.

In other words, if Su Feiyan doesn't confess her feelings to him before 11 PM tonight, then he...

That's a man's dignity!

Lu Li panicked.

I'm really in a hurry.

Fine beads of sweat began to appear on his forehead.

His gaze also became unfocused.

Su Feiyan, who was sitting next to him, keenly noticed his unusual behavior.

That little rascal.

He was just staring at her feet with a lecherous look, how come he suddenly started sweating?

and……

She heard his innermost thoughts.

That kind of anxiety.

That kind of panic.

Oh.

This little thing.

So that's what you were worried about?

Su Feiyan's mood suddenly became very good, extremely good.

The slight embarrassment and annoyance she felt from her impulsive kiss just now vanished.

She doesn't like things getting out of control.

That fleeting moment of attraction made her feel like she had lost control.

As the head of the Su Group, she was used to having everything under her control.

Including emotions.

If I confess my feelings too easily, wouldn't I seem too unreserved?

Men who are too easily obtained are often not cherished.

Although she really liked the little salted fish.

But it also needs to be allowed to cool down and simmer for a while.

He was boiled dry, leaving only his desire for himself.

It tastes much better when eaten that way.

So Su Feiyan remained silent.

She even picked up a document that was placed next to her and pretended to read it.

She just didn't notice that the document was upside down.

She kept observing Lu Li out of the corner of her eye.

Watching him scratch his head in frustration.

He looked restless and uneasy.

He looked like an ant on a hot pan.

very funny.

It's much more interesting than looking at financial statements.

Lu Li is indeed like an ant on a hot pan right now.

What should I do?

Only six hours left.

Going back to the company now is definitely too late, and the office is too formal a place for confessing one's feelings.

【go home?】

Yes, let's go home!

A lone man and a lone woman, alone in a room, dry wood meeting a raging fire—isn't it a natural progression?

But... how do we get her to speak?

[Should I ask directly?]

"Mr. Su, do you love me?"

【No, no, that's too low-class. And knowing Su Feiyan's personality, she'd definitely retort, "Are you out of your mind or has your brain filled with lime powder?"】

We need to think of a way.

[Force her to say it.]

Lu Li's brain began to work at lightning speed.

It was even faster than solving the most challenging math problem in the college entrance exam back in the day.

【drink wine?】

[Truth comes out when one is drunk.]

[No, what if she drinks too much and falls asleep? Or what if she gets drunk and beats me up? This woman's fighting ability is a mystery.]

Playing games?

[Truth or Dare?]

It's a bit childish, but it's not impossible...

【or……】

Lu Li's gaze fell on Su Feiyan's feet again.

Those feet were still swaying gently.

It's like keeping a beat.

Stepping on Lu Li's heart.

The suspension bridge effect!

The system already stated that we should utilize the suspension bridge effect.

[What we saw at the construction site just now was the physical effect of a suspension bridge, but what about next...?]

We need something more spiritual.

I want to make her jealous.

[It made her feel insecure and anxious.]

[She felt that if she didn't confess her feelings soon, she would lose me, this perfect man!]

Lu Li gritted his teeth.

Although this move was a bit risky.

After all, Su Feiyan is extremely jealous; she might explode.

But fortune favors the bold, so let's take the risk!

Lu Li exhaled a breath of stale air, trying to appear calm.

He turned his head and looked at the scenery rushing past the window.

"President Su."

He spoke.

"Um?"

Su Feiyan responded casually, her gaze still fixed on the documents she was holding upside down.

"Um... Shen Weilan just sent me a WeChat message."

The air pressure inside the car dropped by three degrees.

Su Feiyan's fingers, which were turning the page, paused.

She slowly raised her head.

His eyes, behind the glasses, narrowed slightly, revealing a dangerous glint.

"Oh?"

"What did she say?"

The sound was very soft, but it sent chills down your spine.

Lu Li felt like he was walking a tightrope on the edge of a cliff.

But he had no choice but to grit his teeth and keep going.

She said... she wanted to ask me to go to the movies on Sunday.

"Horror movie".

"She said she was... scared and wanted to find someone to lean on."

"Click."

The document in Su Feiyan's hand had its edges crumpled from being squeezed.

It even tore a little.

Lu Li's heart skipped a beat.

Holy crap, that's some serious strength.

What if they grabbed my neck...?

Su Feiyan put down the documents and took off her glasses.

He took out a silk eyeglass cloth from his bag and slowly wiped the glasses.

The movements were elegant, but Lu Li clearly sensed the murderous intent.

"So, did you agree?"

Su Feiyan blew on her glasses and put them back on.

"No...not yet."

Lu Li quickly expressed his opinion.

"I was thinking, I'm President Su's personal assistant, on call 24/7, how could I possibly have time to go to the movies?"

"and……"

Lu Li paused deliberately.

He turned his head and looked directly into Su Feiyan's eyes.

His eyes were "deeply affectionate".

"Besides, my shoulder has already been reserved by someone."

"It's not appropriate for someone else to lean on you."

"You're right, Mr. Su?"

This was a test.

It was also an attack.

Lu Li passed the ball to Su Feiyan.

He's gambling.

Gamble on Su Feiyan's possessiveness.

Su Feiyan looked at him.

Looking at this little man who was trembling with fear just a moment ago, but now suddenly dared to "flirt" with her.

Not only did they not get angry.

On the contrary, I found it interesting.

How dare they use Shen Weilan to provoke them?

This little salted fish has gotten quite bold.

Are you trying to force me to confess my feelings?

Su Feiyan sneered inwardly.

But on the surface, she suddenly smiled.

Her smile was alluring and seductive.

She stretched out one foot.

That bare, fair foot had bright red toenails.

It gently rubbed against Lu Li's leg.

Then it slowly slid up his trouser leg.

It slid all the way down to my knees.

thigh.

Lu Li's body stiffened, and his breathing became rapid.

That foot is very agile.

It looks like a small, swimming snake.

It still has body heat.

Through the fabric, it conveyed a maddening signal.

"Since you know it's already been reserved."

Su Feiyan's voice was ethereal, with a lazy nasal tone.

"Then you should know."

"The cost of breach of contract."

There was a small white dot.

"Shen Weilan wants to lean on your shoulder?"

"Oh."

Su Feiyan chuckled softly.

"You can tell her."

"Your shoulders, your hands, your legs, even every single hair on your body."

"They've all been branded with the Su Group's label."

"belong……"

She leaned close to Lu Li's ear.

Her breath was as fragrant as orchids.

"Private property".

A firework appeared in Lu Li's mind.

Is this considered a confession?

[System! Does this count?!]

"Private property!" How domineering! How loving!

System: [Judging...]

[Judgment failed.]

[Reason: "Private property" falls under the category of property law, not emotional terms. Capitalist exploitation of workers is also described in this way. Please continue your efforts to induce the user to use emotionally charged vocabulary.]

[Remaining time: 05 hours and 30 minutes.]

In Lu Li's mind, a thousand alpacas galloped by.

【This doesn't even count?】

[System, are you legally illiterate? Can matters of the heart be explained using property law?]

【Row. 】

Since the soft approach isn't working...

【Then let's take a hard line.】

Lu Li was ready to go all out, so he grabbed Su Feiyan's still unruly foot.

It feels warm and smooth to the touch.

It's like a piece of warm jade.

Su Feiyan did not pull it back.

She simply raised an eyebrow and looked at him.
