C7 Just You Wait!

The whole fiasco ended with Tong Yuv's hateful glare, but Su Xiaoyu was stirred by his parting words, "Just you wait." Was it easy being an executive assistant? Now her personal safety was being threatened!

With Tong Yuv gone, Su Xiaoyu still felt the weight of countless eyes watching her. She had to pull Shen Juchuan back into the meeting room to avoid drawing a crowd like a spectacle. They still had some unfinished business.

Having just dealt with Tong Yuv, Su Xiaoyu found a newfound courage. She closed all the blinds in the meeting room, grabbed Shen Juchuan by the tie, and demanded fiercely, "Did you recognize me from the start!?"

Though it was phrased as a question, it was more of an accusation. Shen Juchuan raised an eyebrow with a slight smile, allowing his tie to remain in her grasp. He leaned in closer, his warm breath brushing against her ear, "What, you just figured it out?"

"Of course!" Su Xiaoyu said, her back against the wall with nowhere to retreat.

"Heh, it's not too late now," he replied, a mischievous smile playing on his lips. His eyes were like a deep abyss, drawing her in with no escape, leaving her to willingly surrender to its depths.

The scent of his cologne disrupted her breathing rhythm, and as their lips met once more, Su Xiaoyu found herself utterly lost in Shen Juchuan's advances. For someone as experienced as Shen Juchuan, winning over someone as innocent as Su Xiaoyu was a breeze.

It wasn't until she felt the cool air on her waist from the zipper being undone that Su Xiaoyu snapped back to reality. At some point, Shen Juchuan had started teasing her again, even going so far as to unzip her dress!

In a moment of panic, Su Xiaoyu abruptly pushed away Shen Juchuan, who was trying to get closer, and hurried to the nearest restroom. Interrupted suddenly, Shen Juchuan punched the wall in frustration. Damn it, how could he lose control over someone as small as Su Xiaoyu?

After a moment, savoring the sweetness he had just tasted, Shen Juchuan couldn't help but chuckle. It was rare to find a woman who made him feel this way; he definitely couldn't let her go.

Back in the CEO's office, Su Xiaoyu sat at her desk, imagining countless scenarios of meeting Shen Juchuan again. Once or twice, she thought about giving him a good beating for taking advantage of her. But he was the CEO of Shen's Group—was it really okay to hit him?

...

It wasn't until lunchtime at the cafeteria, when a receptionist she had chatted with before came by to gossip about the meeting room, that Su Xiaoyu learned Shen Juchuan had left the company right after teasing her. What a jerk! He took advantage of her and didn't even apologize, leaving without a word and making her anxious for hours. Didn't he have any decency?

Finally, as the workday ended, Su Xiaoyu thought the absence of Shen Juchuan would make her day easier, but she was still troubled about how to face him tomorrow. Even the lingering scent of his cologne seemed to haunt her, and the memory of his soft touch on her lips constantly disturbed her thoughts.

When she got home, Su Xiaoyu still hadn't shaken off her unease, and even her roommate, Jiuer, noticed something was off. Stammering for a while, Su Xiaoyu couldn't bring herself to admit that her boss had taken advantage of her, and quite thoroughly at that.

"Oh, come on, it's not a big deal! Let me take you to a bar, and you'll feel better!" Jiuer assumed Xiaoyu had a crush on her boss but was too shy to admit it because of the office romance taboo. Jiuer thought Xiaoyu just hadn't met enough men, so she was easily impressed by the first one she saw.

After some coaxing, Xiaoyu agreed to Jiuer's invitation. Maybe it was the buzz from the drinks or the lively bar atmosphere, but Xiaoyu ended up spilling all the dirt about Juchuan's bad habits to Jiuer.

"...That's the situation. This guy, a grown man, flirts with women all the time, and if that's not enough, he even hires an assistant to deal with the ones who come after him. Can you believe how ridiculous that is?"

Xiaoyu vented freely, a stark contrast to her earlier hesitance. Jiuer raised an eyebrow, teasingly asking, "Is your boss handsome?"

"Handsome?!" Xiaoyu shook her head, a mysterious smile on her lips, and replied, "Handsome isn't the word I'd use. He's downright hideous, and let's just say he's lacking in other departments too."

Just as she finished speaking, a very familiar voice came from behind her.

"Lacking in other departments?" Juchuan repeated through gritted teeth.
