Chapter 319 - You’re Not My Subordinate, Why Are You Behaving like My Attendant? (2/2)

He really wished he could rush into her office and drag her out of it so he could take her back home immediately!

…

…

When Director Zhao returned to the office building after his lunch, he noticed a Benz was stopped on the roadside when he was just about to enter the building and found it to be familiar.

He slowed down his footsteps and looked around him. He pretended like he was going about his day and snuck to the front of the Benz from behind.

Then he turned his head and looked into the car and he saw Qi Chenglin resting his elbow on the window. He was holding a cigarette with his fingertips and took a puff of it with his eyes narrowed.

“Young Master Lin!” shouted Director Zhao in astonishment. “Why are you here?”

Qi Chenglin glanced at Director Zhao nonchalantly. He still appeared calm and collected. He said with a cool voice, “I’m just passing by. I stopped my car to rest for a while.”

Director Zhao could not help but feel disappointed that he was not here to discuss business deals with Chengshi.

However, no one in Chengshi was close to Qi Chenglin.

“Then I shall not disturb you. If there is anything that I can help with, Young Master Lin can just call me directly,” said Director Zhao with a smile, he hurriedly took out a business card from his pocket and handed it to Qi Chenglin.

Qi Chenglin took the card and looked at it, Director Zhao’s number was on it.

“Sure.” Qi Chenglin nodded seriously, it seemed like he said it with intent.

Director Zhao was overwhelmed with joy after hearing Qi Chenglin’s response and he left.

After a cigarette, Qi Chenglin’s fire had almost completely disappeared. He started his car and left.

…

Ruan Danchen bumped into Yang Yunshu unexpectedly after she walked out of the elevator.

When Yang Yunshu saw her appearance, she gave her a suspicious stare. Her hair was messy, and her lips were very swollen. Her cheeks were red, and her eyes were smiling joyfully. She guessed that Ruan Danchen had just finished making love with someone a while ago.

“Ruan Danchen, why are your lips so swollen?” asked Yang Yunshu suspiciously.

Ruan Danchen was lost for words, she did not have time to look in a mirror. She recalled that Qi Chenglin kissed her many times on the way here. She was unaware of how her lips looked like after being repeatedly kissed by him. She quickly pursed her lips and said, “I had Sichuan cuisine 1  for lunch, that’s why my lips are numb and swollen.”

“Really?” Yang Yunshu stared at her skeptically. “You went to meet with a client in the morning?”

“Yeah, what’s wrong with that?” asked Ruan Danchen coldly.

She knew that recently, Yang Yunshu frequently came to the design department because Song Yu was not around. She was planning to find an opportunity to return to the design department, therefore, she has lingered in the design department and gossiped about others whenever she was free for the past few days.

“Nothing wrong.” Yang Yunshu sneered at her scornfully and she snorted. “I was wondering why your lips appear swollen just now because I don’t know you had Sichuan cuisine. I thought you ate something else.”

Ruan Danchen was not an innocent little girl anymore. Although she only had that experience once when she did it with Qi Chenglin, it lasted for a whole night. Besides, she read news about those matters before and the married staff in the office did not feel embarrassed talking about them at all. As a result, she overheard them talking about those matters a lot and she could easily take a hint.

Recently, the number of her clients had almost reduced by half, and Yang Yunshu always poked fun at her with sarcastic remarks when she came to the design department. Yang Yunshu was hostile toward her because she was close to Song Yu.

Was Yang Yunshu implying that she offering sex to clients to increase her business?

Ruan Danchen clenched her teeth furiously and she said frigidly, “Yang Yunshu, if you want to comment on anything, just say it directly, you don’t need to mock or sneer at me. If you have any proof, just show it, don’t gossip about me and tarnish my name without any evidence.”

“What did I say? Tell me, what sarcastic comments did I make about you?” Yang Yunshu raised her voice and crossed her arms. She laughed coldly. “I did not say anything sarcastic, maybe you misunderstood my words? If you aren’t guilty, why would you misunderstand my words? You’re the one who is involved in filthy matters, don’t accuse me of giving you a bad name!”

“Yang Yunshu, you know who the one with shady intentions is. Have you forgotten the reason you were transferred to another department to work as an ordinary clerk? If you really want to return to the design department, you should apologize sincerely and correct your attitude. Stop thinking about those dirty ideas and focus on your work. You don’t need to come here and provoke me every day. Do you think that I will leave just because of your offensive words so that you can return to this department?” said Ruan Danchen disdainfully, she felt that Yang Yunshu was slowly slipping into evil.

She was a dishonest person, and she had chosen to invest her effort in the wrong way. She never thought of working hard to excel in her work, instead, she kept thinking of ways to make use of men to gain success.

Didn’t she know that it always ends up badly that way?

She envied other people, but she did not know that she would be unable to outdo everyone as there were some rare exceptional talents around her.

“You…” Yang Yunshu’s expression turned angry. “Ruan Danchen, don’t be so proud of yourself. You think that you are close to the Qi family because you managed to get close to Song Yu? Song Yu’s not around now, and no one in the Qi family cares about whether you’re alive or dead. Stop acting like a good person, you’re a pretentious bitch. Song Yu is so close to you, but she does not ask the Qi family to help you in your work.”

“My work is my business, I’ll take responsibility whether it’s good or bad. I never think of relying on anybody,” replied Ruan Danchen bluntly. “I’m friends with Song Yu, but I never planned to make use of her or ask for any help from her when we became friends.”

“Do you know what I hate the most about you?” said Yang Yunshu as she stared at Ruan Danchen contemptuously. “I hate you because you always act like you’re a righteous person. It’s as if nobody is as righteous as you. So pretentious.”

After she said that, Yang Yunshu turned around and walked toward her office.

Ruan Danchen was trembling from anger as she rushed to the rooftop to calm herself down, feeling the wind brushing her face. After a while, she went back to the office when she felt that her lips were no longer as swollen, and her face would appear normal.

…

At night, after Qi Chenglin entered his house, Aunt Zheng helped take his bag. Then Qi Chenglin bent his body to untie his shoelaces and changed into slippers. Qi Youxuan dashed toward him immediately after he found out he was back.

“Dad, why did you ask someone to empty my playroom! Nothing is left in it now!” shouted Qi Youxuan as he furiously put his hands on his hips.

He habitually rushed to the playroom as usual when he returned from kindergarten today but unexpectedly saw a heartbreaking scene when he reached the doorway of the playroom.

He did not know when the workers came and removed the cupboards and cabinets in his playroom. When he reached home, they were removing the wallpaper.

Qi Youxuan burst with anger on the spot and asked them what they were doing.

Aunt Yang hurriedly rushed to the playroom and explained that Qi Chenglin asked them to come. They came at around two o’clock and his toys were alright. They kept his toys temporarily in the guest room, they were neither thrown away nor broken.

However, Qi Youxuan was still worried, and he was shocked. Could it be that his father emptied his playroom and would never let him have one in the future?

The little boy brooded over the matter in a distressed mood for quite a while, but he could not think of a reason. He did not do anything that made his father unhappy recently.

Finally, Qi Chenglin was back. Qi Youxuan felt like he had waited for him for years, and he quickly ran toward him.

Qi Chenglin changed into slippers and walked toward the living hall. He glanced at Qi Youxuan and said coolly, “I’m planning to renovate your playroom.”

The little boy heaved a sigh of relief immediately, he was relieved because his father was not going to get rid of his playroom.

Then, he thought of another question. He asked as he blinked his eyes puzzledly. “Why would you renovate my playroom? It is still in good condition.”

“Your playroom has been there since you were born, almost six years have passed. Aren’t you bored of it?” Qi Chenglin went upstairs and walked into his bedroom. He removed his necktie and threw it onto the sofa, then he took off his suit as well.

Qi Youxuan followed him into his bedroom. He was still shaking his head.

Qi Chenglin glimpsed at his son scornfully who he suspected to have a lower than average IQ. He said nonchalantly, “Your Aunt Ruan is a designer, she specializes in interior design.”

Qi Youxuan still could not get the hint. After thinking for a while, his eyes which appeared to be dispirited suddenly glowed brightly. He excitedly hugged one of Qi Chenglin’s long legs tightly, raised his head and ask, “Dad, are you going to ask Aunt Ruan to help us design the playroom?”

Qi Chenglin snorted softly, he appeared to be pleased with himself.

“Dad, you’re the best! Please quickly ask someone to tear down my playroom further!” From Qi Youxuan’s expression, it seemed like he wished his house was demolished so that Ruan Danchen could re-design every part of it again from the floor to the roof.

“That will do,” said Qi Chenglin as he changed into his leisurewear.

Qi Youxuan agreed with him after thinking about it. His playroom was completely empty with four bare walls. He rubbed his little belly against the long legs of Qi Chenglin. “So, Dad, have you considered asking someone to empty my bedroom too? I want to sleep in a room designed by Aunt Ruan.”

Qi Chenglin raised his eyebrows and looked around his bedroom quietly. He felt that the color tone of his room was quite cool as if something was missing.

“I have a dinner party tomorrow night. I’ll talk to her the next day,” said Qi Chenglin.

“That’s great!” Qi Youxuan was overjoyed, he turned around and went downstairs for dinner.

He felt that his father was finally enlightened by him, and that his great grandmother and grandmother did not need to worry about whether he would get married or not anymore.

…

…

At night, Ruan Danchen laid on her bed. She was tossing and turning because she felt agitated.

When she closed her eyes, she could see him hugging and kissing her. He could see his face leaning toward her—his eyes, nose, and mouth appeared so close to her.

She had already taken a shower, but her body was still hot. She could vividly remember the feeling of him touching her skin with his hands and lips. Even his odor seemed to linger around her, and she was unable to get rid of it.

He kissed and hugged her thoughtlessly, but she could not tell what his opinion of her was.

At first, she thought that he would at least text her, but it was already late—she was yet to receive any news from him.

Ruan Danchen took her cell phone from the bedside cabinet and looked at the time. It was already a quarter past eleven.

She was unable to describe her feelings now. She felt uncomfortable, but in reality, she did not truly understand what her opinion of Qi Chenglin was.

She only knew that she would become nervous whenever he came near her.

He hugged her and kissed her recklessly, but she was not disgusted by his actions and never thought of pushing him away. Not even on that night seven years ago.

When she was just about to put her phone back onto the bedside cabinet, it suddenly rang. She was shocked by it and hesitated for a while.

She looked at her phone again and saw Qi Chenglin’s name on the screen. Ruan Danchen was very nervous, she did not know what she to do. She was unhappy when he did not contact her. However, when he finally did call, she was at a loss.

She turned over her body and laid on her side. She answered the call after her phone rang for a while and almost mistakenly hung upon him.

“Why did it take you so long to pick up my call?” Qi Chenglin’s voice was cool and steady, but it felt like he was complaining.

“I was sleeping,” answered Ruan Danchen softly. She pulled her blanket to cover her neck. She buried her pointed chin below the blanket.

“Really?” Qi Chenglin was sitting on his bed. His blanket was covering his lower body. His attractive six-pack and V-cut abdominal muscles could be seen, they were overwhelmingly attractive.

When he heard Ruan Danchen’s voice, he could picture her lying on her bed, and he was a little aroused by it.

Ruan Danchen was feeling inexplicably uncomfortable. She curled her body under the blanket and replied to him, “Mhm.”

“I’m lying on my bed too.” Qi Chenglin’s deep and husky voice was transmitted through the phone and it penetrated her ears like strands of threads—it was extremely seductive.

Ruan Danchen regretted answering his call while lying on the bed because it felt like something was going on between them. Her heart was beating wildly. Initially, she could not sleep because she was feeling agitated. After being teased by him, she curled up her body into a ball. She felt like she could not resist his tease.

“Are you wearing any clothes under the blanket?” Ruan Danchen was fidgety when she heard Qi Chenglin suddenly ask her with his husky voice.

“Qi Chenglin!” shouted Ruan Danchen. When did men start asking questions like this!
