Chapter 49 - Do You Like It or Not? (1/2)
By the time they went to bed, the sky is turning bright in the east. Thick curtains were tightly drawn, shrouding the quiet room in darkness. The couple fell sound asleep on the bed.
After an unknown amount of time, Gu Nianbin’s phone rang. Du Xiaoxian groaned vaguely in sleep. As soon as she turned over, a strong arm immediately held her back tightly against his chest.
She rubbed her eyes and muttered, “Young master, your phone is ringing.”
Gu Nianbin hugged her with one hand and put his phone near his ear with the other, “Hello?”
Hearing his lazy and sleepy voice, Zhou Ting on the other end of the phone almost dropped the phone with a trembling hand. She blinked and looked at the exquisite watch on her wrist. It was already ten o’clock and the boss was still sleeping? This was too abnormal. President Gu was never late for work. Even if he couldn’t be on time because he was occupied, he would inform her in advance. It was really unbelievable that when she called, he was still sleeping without any prior notice. Zhou Ting suddenly felt that something big might was happening.
Before she could think of anything to say, the hang up tone came through the phone because Gu Nianbin had already cut it off. Zhou Ting looked at the phone in her hand in a daze for a long time before putting it down and sitting down slowly. She was wondering whether the boss was sleeping alone or with someone else. If he had a companion…Holding her chin, Secretary Zhou tried to imagine a sensual scene in her mind, but no matter how hard she tried, she still couldn’t picture it.
Back then, when she passed all rounds of tests and finally got the position of chief secretary for the president, Gu Nianbin talked to her personally. The conversation was not long, but she remembered one sentence the clearest: Do your own job well and don’t get interested in your boss.
She was stunned hearing this. This was too straightforward. No matter how handsome and extraordinary he might be, it was too arrogant and egotistic to say those words! At that time, Zhou Ting didn’t take this seriously. Later, little birds told her that all the secretaries before her had admired the boss. Gu Nianbin was very annoyed and fired them as soon as he noticed the first wrong signal. Only then did she understand the meaning of what the boss had said on the first day they met.
The longer she worked with Gu Nianbin, the more she felt that the boss would never get involved with women. He either avoided being with women or maintained a respectful distance from them. Therefore, she really couldn’t picture Gu Nianbin sleeping with a woman in broad daylight.
Could it be… She thought of another possibility: Xia Xiaowan! If there was any woman in this world who could have sex with her boss, it could only be Xia Xiaowan. There was always a photo of her on his desk. Sometimes when she went in to deliver documents, she would see Gu Nianbin gazing at Xia Xiaowan’s photo with obvious strong affections in his eyes. Was Xia Xiaowan back?
Another Miss Xia with the same name and similar appearance occurred to her on second thought. Recently, the boss and this Miss Xia were quite close. She even heard that they often went to the boss’s house for dinner together. A few days ago, Nina told her that the boss took Xia Xiaowan away with a strange expression halfway through the dinner with Chenguang. Judging by that, there was great progress in their relationship. Could it be Xia Xiaowan who was sleeping with the boss at this moment?
Zhou Ting changed a hand to support her chin and continued to guess. This time she thought of Du Xiaoxian, that thin and weak little girl. Back then, when the boss treated this girl differently, Zhou Ting was excited to expect a Cinderella drama. However, in a few days, the little girl disappeared.
Actually, Du Xiaoxian’s facial features were pretty good. She was just too skinny. In President Shao’s words, such skinny women were normally not favored by men. Because it wouldn’t feel good to touch their bodies. Besides, you would feel their bones sticking against you when having sex with them.
After Du Xiaoxian stopped coming to the company, there was nothing unusual in the boss’s behaviors, but President Shao mentioned how he missed Du Xiaoxian a few times in front of her. Zhou Ting joked with Shao Boqing that since he thought Du Xiaoxian was too skinny, it would be contradictory to say he missed her all the time.
Shao Boqing refuted her seriously that missing someone was different from missing someone’s body. Of course, Zhou Ting knew those were two different things. Actually, she missed the little girl quite a lot. Du Xiaoxian was quiet, obedient and would often fill her cup with water or coffee. There was a time when the boss saw Du Xiaoxian doing that for her. Although he didn’t say anything, his glare froze Zhou Ting. After that, she didn’t dare to ask Du Xiaoxian to do anything for her anymore.
Zhou Ting was lost in all the wild guesses when the door was pushed open. Shao Boqing poked his head in and asked, “Is the boss here?”
Zhou Ting shook her head. Shao Boqing responded calmly before turning around and left.
This didn’t make sense. Gu Nianbin hadn’t showed up by now, and Shao Boqing’s reaction was too indifferent. Zhou Ting stood up quickly and chased after him. “President Shao, President Shao…”
Shao Boqing stopped and turned around to look at her. “What is it?”
“President Shao, where’s the boss? Will he come to the company today?”
Shao Boqing shrugged his shoulders and spread out his hands, “No comment!”
Her guess was right. Shao Boqing knew about something. Zhou Ting dragged him and said with a coy voice, “President Shao, please, just tell me. I need to find the boss to deal with an urgent matter! President Shao, you’re the best…”
“Why don’t you call him on his cell phone if you have urgent matters?” Shao Boqing shook off her hand and looked her up and down. “Does your boss know that you’re so good at playing coy?”
