C20 Wake up

Pei Shishi slapped her forehead with her hands, trying to erase this strange and ridiculous thought from her mind.

"I am thinking about this again. Maybe everything is just a coincidence."

Pei Shishi sat on the sofa and tried to comfort herself with all kinds of methods.

After a long time, Hee Lingxuan's tightly knitted brows slightly moved. His dark eyes slowly opened.

"Why am I here?"

The voice was extremely weak and carried a deep, low tone, but it was surprisingly pleasant to hear.

"Oh... I saved you."

"You feel alright now, right?"

Pei Shishi stuttered. She was like a child who had done something wrong.

Her quick-witted and playful eyes moved back and forth in her eyes as she tried her best to think of what to do in the next second.

She lowered her head, not daring to look directly into her eyes. Her small heart was beating wildly in her chest, like a little deer running about.

After all, this was not a simple matter. Bringing a man home in the middle of the night, if this were to be spread out, it would really be impossible to explain it clearly.

"Thank you for saving me..."

Hee Lingxuan's weak voice sounded again.

He struggled to sit up on the sofa, but he felt a sharp pain in his head, which made him frown.

Bean-sized beads of sweat flowed down his forehead.

"Don't move. Your body is very weak right now. You can stay here for now."

Weng...

Pei Shishi instantly sucked in a breath of cold air. The moment she said those words, she really wanted to give herself a big mouth.

She was clearly already burning her eyebrows, but her brain was still as short-circuited as she said those words.

But since she had already said those words, she could not forcefully choke back.

Hee Lingxuan's gaze slowly looked around the house. The gazes in his eyes had become deep and meaningful. It was exceptionally thought-provoking.

"There should be a man living in this house. I will take a break. I will leave tomorrow morning. I will not make things difficult for you."

Pei Shishi lowered her head in shame. One sentence made her speechless. She could only hold back a thousand words in her heart.

Although she felt a little guilty, she had to admit that she felt relieved after hearing such an answer.

To be able to leave before that damn pervert returned home was already a blessing in disguise...

The next day when Pei Shishi walked into the office, she saw all the employees looking at him with contempt. Everyone was whispering to each other.

"Good morning, colleagues..."

But everyone just glanced at her coldly and left in a panic as if they were avoiding a plague.

Pei Shishi refused to look at her colleagues but she did not want to think too much. After all, this was not the first time she had been isolated like this.

When she was in school, she was often isolated.

She habitually turned on the computer and saw huge news that covered the sky.

The moment she saw the big headline on the front page, her heart almost stopped beating.

Her small face instantly turned as pale as snow. Her clenched fists were trembling, and her clear eyes were staring at the screen.

"These dogs really dare to write anything..."

For the sake of getting promoted and spending the night with Young Master He, the company's employees instantly spread the news like wildfire. Some even had eyes and noses.

"This woman is really too shameless..."

"That's right, that's right. I've never seen such a shameless woman doing this for money."

"This kind of woman should be banned and completely disappear from this world."

The comments section was filled with curses. All sorts of netizens were cursing her with all their might. The world's most vicious language was attacking her.

In her panic, Pei Shishi turned off her computer psychology and found it hard to calm down for a long time.

She did not expect that last night, it was just a small effort. She wanted to help but pushed herself to the top of the storm.

"Aiyo, I say, you little demoness are really not simple. You just came to the company for a few days and inexplicably became a secretary. Not to mention now, you even got into a hot fight with our CEO. Why is it so coincidental?"

"You should know that our CEO Mu has admired CEO Mu for many years and CEO Mu has never taken a good look at him. You still wet behind the ears, what do you have to do?"

The words of his colleagues were filled with a strong sense of aggressiveness, even though they all had smiles on their faces. But that mister's mean smile made people feel disgusted.

"Hey... I'm not as dirty as you say."

Pei Shishi tightly clenched her small fists and stubbornly raised her small face and refuted over and over again.

But her colleagues seemed to be used to this kind of rebuttal and did not put it in their eyes at all.

Everyone attacked her with vicious words. Pei Shishi felt an inexplicable sense of grievance and tears drop from her eyes.

At this moment, she really felt a sense of humiliation and helplessness.

Suddenly, the noisy discussion stopped. The entire office became unusually quiet.

Pei Shishi looked up and saw that exceptionally gentle face, but at this moment, this face had a bit more dignity.

Looking from afar, one could feel the space between the corner of one's eyes and the tip of the other's brows. There were a few traces of coldness.

"Talking nonsense here, aren't you afraid that I will fire all of you now? Do you feel that you have too little work in your hands?"

"No, no, we are wrong..."

The employees were like balloons that had just been released. The awe-inspiring aura they had was now gone.

Pei Shishi followed Hee Lingxuan to the office.

"I beg you to help me suppress the news, okay?"

"If you really want to return my favor, help me with this. I can't let my family see this news."

Pei Shishi's voice was choked with sobs. She bit her lips tightly and her eyes were full of tears.

Hee Lingxuan felt a ripple in his heart as he looked at those pitiful big eyes.

"Don't cry. I will think of a way for you. The news has just been released. It should be very easy for me to suppress it."

He said it indifferently, but his eyes were filled with pain.

"Don't cry!"

He used his slender fingers to wipe away the tears on her face.

Pei Shishi instinctively avoided this gentle action in the next second.

She stood there trembling with her head lowered, like a child who had done something wrong.

"You are the CEO and I am your subordinate. I think it is better for us to keep a distance in the company in case our colleagues say something bad..."

Pei Shishi ran out of the office in a panic before she could finish her sentence.
