After the meeting, Huo Chanyi stepped out and saw her dozing off. "Tired?"
Chun Yuejing, upon realizing it was him, immediately perked up and replied with dissatisfaction, "How can I not be tired after being tormented by you?"
At that moment, the subordinates trailing behind exchanged ambiguous glances.
Huo Chanyi raised an eyebrow, a cold smile playing on his lips. "Are you unhappy?"
Chun Yuejing swallowed nervously. "I warn you, don’t say anything threatening again. Don’t you dare hurt Ye Wei... If you’re a man, don’t resort to underhanded tactics!"
Huo Chanyi grinned mischievously. "Are you very concerned about whether I’m a man?"
What kind of inappropriate topic was he bringing up? Chun Yuejing's face turned beet red. "Don’t get the wrong idea! I’m not interested in that at all... I..." She had no interest in men who were kept by women!
She intended to say that, but Huo Chanyi didn’t give her a chance to speak. He coldly tossed out a parting remark: "You’re in trouble!"
Was she desperately trying to distance herself from him? Huo Chanyi felt displeased and turned to leave.
Chun Yuejing's mind was in a whirl. What did he mean? Could he not be so frightening?!
Based on what she knew of him, Huo Chanyi was definitely not someone who would let things go easily! So that day, Chun Yuejing spent it on edge. What surprised her even more was that Huo Chanyi didn’t come to bother her again throughout the day—this was so strange that it made her anxious!
After dinner, Chun Yuejing hurriedly took a quick shower and put on her pajamas, getting into a state of readiness. Sure enough, the door opened, and Huo Chanyi walked in wrapped in a towel, unchanged from his usual self.
"What do you want me to do tonight?" Chun Yuejing had long lost the initial sense of desire she had felt upon first seeing him; she could now calmly face his bare upper body.
"Nothing at all."
Hmm? Was he being this generous?
He turned his head and found himself already at the bedside.
"What are you doing?!"
"Sleeping," Huo Chanyi said as he climbed onto her bed, sharing her blanket.
Dare to distance herself from him?
He would make sure everyone knew their "relationship was deep."
Chun Yuejing scooted away, "If you come any closer, I will scream!"
Although this was his territory, she could still express her stance!
Huo Chanyi glanced up nonchalantly, "If you scream, I'll take care of your boyfriend!" This time, it was a blatant threat.
Chun Yuejing immediately fell silent, shooting him a glare: another round of intimidation—he really wasn't a man! "I wouldn't mind showing you whether I am a man or not."
Seeing right through her thoughts, Huo Chanyi leaned closer to her ear, his breath warm and suggestive. "Close your eyes, or I'll show you."
Chun Yuejing hurriedly shut her eyes; to preserve her dignity, she might as well comply.
Huo Chanyi felt quite pleased as he pulled her into his embrace. The more obedient she was, the angrier he became.
How could she choose to compromise for that spineless and unprincipled boyfriend? It left him feeling extremely dissatisfied.
She was the first person bold enough to call him out by name and even wiped her nose on his clothes.
She was the only woman, aside from Mu Liyin, who left an impression on him.
Her audacity was such that she dared to provoke his powerful status, yet she bowed her head and submitted because of that damn boyfriend of hers.
He was furious!
Chun Yuejing had not fallen asleep; she lay with her eyes closed, nestled in his arms, softly reminding him, "Um, boss Huo, you always come to find me in the middle of the night. There are already rumors circulating outside. This probably isn’t good for your reputation..."
In her heart, she silently prayed that, given her considerate nature, he would show mercy and let her off the hook.
Let the rumors become reality!
Chun Yuejing couldn’t help but feel like slapping herself. To prevent the rumors from coming true, she chose to remain silent out of sheer cowardice.
Her heart ached; being "the boss's woman" was truly a heavy burden to bear, even if it was just a false identity.
After hearing the news, the brothers scattered across various locations rushed over to pay their respects to "Big Sister." Each one of them looked fierce and intimidating, making Chun Yuejing swallow back the denial that had risen to her lips.
She didn’t dare; she was too timid and afraid...
But why was Huo Chanyi just sitting there, watching with cold amusement, without coming to her rescue?
After sending off the last batch of brothers, Chun Yuejing felt as wilted as a frostbitten eggplant. She collapsed onto the sofa and glared indignantly at Huo Chanyi, who was lounging comfortably on the other side.
She carefully considered her words: "I think I want to leave. I don’t need you to take responsibility anymore."
Staying like this would either drive her to madness or scare her senseless with his subordinates!
"You aren't afraid of how I might deal with Ye Wei?"
"Do as you please!" She huffed, unwilling to compromise for someone like Ye Wei.
At first, she had wanted to protect Ye Wei out of humanitarian spirit, but now, if she stayed any longer, she feared for her own life!
Huo Chanyi smiled faintly, "Oh, really?"
Chun Yuejing nodded, "Can I leave now?"
Huo Chanyi sighed with a beaming smile, "What a pity. I thought you would be happy to join my company as a reporter."
Chun Yuejing was taken aback, "A reporter?"
She stared at him in disbelief and asked, "You run a magazine too?"
"Xing Yue, I'm a shareholder."
"Xing Yue?!" Chun Yuejing was so shocked her jaw nearly dropped to the floor.
The leading entertainment magazine in the country, and Huo Chanyi was actually a shareholder?
Moreover, he was the largest shareholder...
