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

In the early morning, sunlight streamed through the gaps in the curtains.

Lu Li was jolted awake by a sharp sound in his head.

It's not an alarm clock.

It's that dog system whose reaction time can circle the Earth three times.

[Ding! Detected that the host has completed the hidden achievement "Survival on Foot".]

[Rewards are being processed...]

[Congratulations, host, you have acquired: Underwater Breathing (Beginner) and Top-Level Swimming Proficiency.]

Lu Li stared blankly at the ceiling, sporting two huge dark circles under his eyes.

Underwater breathing?

Proficient in swimming?

Isn't this reward a bit too sinister?

Is this an implication that Su Feiyan will fill a cement pile and sink him into the Huangpu River, giving him some ability to save himself?

Or……

He lost too much water last night, and the system was afraid he would dry out, so it sent him to the water to replenish it.

"This damn system is doomed sooner or later."

Lu Li sighed and got out of bed.

The restaurant downstairs.

Su Feiyan sat in the main seat, holding a cup of black coffee in her hand.

No sugar, no milk added.

Just like her, bitter, invigorating, and addictive.

She wasn't wearing business attire today, but rather a light purple silk loungewear set with a slightly open neckline, revealing her prominent collarbones.

"woke up?"

Good morning, Mr. Su.

Lu Li obediently took her seat and picked up a slice of toast.

"An urgent decision has been made."

Su Feiyan forked a piece of bacon covered in egg yolk.

She put it in her mouth and gently pursed her red lips.

"The company is preparing to acquire the Blue Bay Resort in Nanhai City."

"The project evaluation isn't finished yet; I need to go there in person."

"Let's go immediately."

Nanhai City?

Resort?

Sun, sand, bikini?

Lu Li's eyes lit up instantly.

That's thousands of kilometers away!

Brilliant!

Business trips are not only a way to slack off on company-funded projects.

the most important is--

I want to stay away from that perverted woman, Shen Weilan, who's always in heat!

That scheming girl has to go to class; she can't very well go with me, can she?

Long live President Su!

My wife is incredibly wise and powerful!

I want to lie on the beach like a corpse! I want to drink coconut juice! I want to see... cough cough, see the scenery!

Su Feiyan paused in cutting the steak, her beautiful peach blossom eyes narrowed slightly, and her gaze swept over Lu Li's face, which was full of "secret joy".

Oh.

That's wishful thinking.

Want to see more scenery?

When we get there, you'll only have eyes for me.

"Assistant Lu."

Su Feiyan slowly wiped the corner of her mouth.

"This inspection trip..."

"It's just the two of us."

She emphasized the words "two people".

His tone was ambiguous, and his eyes were glazed.

"It's kind of like... just the two of us."

Lu Li's heart skipped a beat.

A romantic getaway for two?

but……

As long as Shen Weilan isn't involved, everything is fine!

Just as Lu Li was about to shout "Long live freedom!", the sound of cheerful footsteps echoed across the marble floor.

From far to near.

"Brother-in-law—!"

Lu Li spilled the milk in her hand and stiffly turned her head away.

[Hallucinations?]

[It must be because I didn't sleep well last night and I'm hallucinating.]

Shen Weilan was wearing a white lace slip dress, with an innocent smile on her face.

"What a coincidence!"

Shen Weilan blinked her big eyes.

Innocent and kind.

"I just heard... are you going to the South China Sea?"

"I want to go too!"

The smile on Su Feiyan's face vanished instantly, and the temperature plummeted.

What are you doing here?

"besides."

"Who let you in?"

Shen Weilan didn't care at all about her cousin's cold face.

She walked skillfully to the dining table, pulled out the chair next to Lu Li, and sat down.

She even went so far as to snatch half a slice of toast from Lu Li's plate and take a bite.

"It smells so good."

Then he slowly answered:

"Schools are on summer break!"

"I've been thinking about how long it's been since I went back to my hometown in Nanhai City to see my grandma."

"I just heard that you're going there to do some research, cousin."

"Could you give me a ride if you're going that way?"

[High-temperature leave?]

It's October! Where did this "high-temperature holiday" come from?!

This is like comparing a eunuch to a brothel—pure nonsense!

Su Feiyan gave a cold laugh.

He was clearly so angry that he laughed.

"High-temperature leave?"

"Shen Weilan, do you think I didn't go to university?"

"go out."

"Don't force me to call security."

Shen Weilan pouted and her eyes reddened.

Her acting skills deserve an Oscar.

She took out her phone and tapped on a number.

"Oh well……"

"Since my cousin dislikes me so much..."

"I had no choice but to call my aunt."

Tell her that her older cousin has forgotten about her younger cousin now that she has a boyfriend.

"They even wanted to kick their lonely cousin out of the house..."

"Although my aunt's health isn't good and she can't handle these kinds of stimulating things..."

"Snapped!"

Su Feiyan slammed her hand on the table.

Montblanc fountain pen... oh wait, this time it's a fork.

She bent the silver fork.

"Shut up."

Su Feiyan's chest heaved violently.

This is her Achilles' heel.

If it were anyone else, she would have thrown them into the Huangpu River long ago.

It just so happens that this cousin is the one whom the old lady in the family dotes on like her own daughter.

"Shen Weilan".

"You win."

[One trick is all it takes to get by!]

Lu Li was speechless.

Shen Weilan immediately put away her phone, her tears instantly disappearing.

Her smile was even brighter than before.

"Thank you, cousin!"

"I knew my older cousin loved me the most!"

After she finished speaking, she went under the table.

She gently rubbed her sandal-clad foot against Lu Li's calf.

Lu Li froze.

This familiar feel, this familiar recipe.

【Help……】

Su Feiyan watched this scene coldly.

She couldn't see what was happening under the table.

But she heard Lu Li's scream clearly.

"I can take you there."

"Three rules."

Su Feiyan held up three fingers, her eyes sharp.

"First, you are not allowed to disturb my work."

"Second, you are not allowed to leave the team without permission."

"third."

Her gaze swept over Shen Weilan's feet, which were still trying to cause trouble.

"Stay away from my assistant."

"otherwise."

"I'll pack you up and send you back to school."

Shen Weilan stuck out her tongue.

"Okay, okay."

"So long-winded."

He readily agreed verbally.

The foot under the table, however, climbed up an inch even more aggressively.

Lu Li could only pull her leg back.

Shen Weilan wasn't annoyed. She smiled and mouthed to Lu Li, "Brother-in-law, I want to drink coconut milk."

Lu Li closed his eyes in despair.

It’s over.

This is hardly a vacation.

This is like moving the battlefield from land to the seaside.

Breakfast ended in an eerie atmosphere.

"Lu Li".

Su Feiyan stood up.

The high heels clicked on the floor.

She stopped when she reached Lu Li's side.

He leaned forward slightly, and that familiar scent enveloped him.

"Let's go to the mall."

"Buy all the necessities."

She reached out her finger and gently hooked Lu Li's tie.

Her fingertips lightly brushed across his Adam's apple.

"Especially... swimsuits."

Su Feiyan whispered in his ear, her breath hot against his skin.

"You know my size."

"Right?"
