“Greedy.”
That’s what Su Che said, but the icy expression on his face unconsciously softened quite a bit.
“Everyone is greedy. Once you have bread, you want cake. Once you have cake, you want your own exclusive baker. Desires are endless.” Lin Wanfu was not ashamed but rather proud. “President Su, you should praise me. I’m more honest than anyone else.”
Su Che suddenly pinched Lin Wanfu’s cheek. “Let me see how thick your skin is.”
Lin Wanfu unhappily slapped Su Che’s hand away. “Don’t get handsy, or I’ll report you for workplace harassment.”
She had clearly chosen to forget her own previous actions toward Su Che. Her righteous tone perfectly illustrated what it meant to be lenient with oneself and strict with others.
Su Che was almost amused by Lin Wanfu’s audacity. “You’d report me for workplace harassment? How can you even say that?”
“Why can’t I say it? Wasn’t it you who kissed me first? You even made my lips swell.”
At this point, Lin Wanfu immediately looked displeased. She kicked Su Che in retaliation, leaving a faint footprint on his expensive suit pants.
Watching Lin Wanfu’s unreasonable behavior, Su Che only felt a headache coming on. “If you hadn’t kept provoking me, would I have made your lips swell?”
“So what? Just tell me, didn’t you enjoy kissing me just now? Don’t say no—I could feel your…”
Realizing what Lin Wanfu was about to say, Su Che didn’t have time to think. He reached out, pulled Lin Wanfu into his arms, and firmly covered her unrestrained mouth.
Staring into Lin Wanfu’s blinking eyes, Su Che said in a threatening tone, “I’ll give you hush money. You can’t say a word about what happened today.”
Given Lin Wanfu’s shameless attitude, he was truly afraid she would go out and talk nonsense, ruining his reputation.
If that happened, he would have no face left to show anyone.
Only after seeing Lin Wanfu nod did Su Che release her.
Lin Wanfu smoothed the stray hairs by her cheek, then lightly tapped her red, swollen lips with her finger, implying something unclear. “President Su, my mouth is hard to silence. If you don’t give enough, it definitely won’t stay shut.”
Although he was talking about hush money, Su Che’s gaze uncontrollably drifted toward Lin Wanfu’s rosy lips.
Her lips were the perfect shape of a cherry mouth—small, delicate, and exquisite. They probably couldn’t even take a bite of a slightly larger strawberry, let alone anything else.
Not hearing Su Che speak for a while, Lin Wanfu leaned her head close to his ear and whispered softly, “President Su, have you decided how much hush money to give me?”
Suppressing the chaotic thoughts in his mind, Su Che said in a deep voice, “Send me your bank card number.”
“President Su, add me first.” Lin Wanfu took out her phone, swiped open the Big Eyes Green Bubble app, opened her QR code, and let Su Che scan it to add her as a friend.
With a ding notification sound, Su Che and Lin Wanfu successfully became friends.
Looking at Su Che’s default system profile picture, Lin Wanfu mercilessly teased him, “You look quite young, so why does your social media account have such an old-fashioned vibe?”
Su Che: “…”
He typed something into his phone, and soon Lin Wanfu’s phone chimed with a notification.
Seeing the 80,000 yuan transfer from Su Che, Lin Wanfu instantly found even his default profile picture pleasing to the eye.Her expression changed as quickly as flipping a book. “President Su, who said this profile picture has an old-fashioned vibe? It’s absolutely fantastic.”
Su Che slightly lifted his chin, glancing coolly and aloofly at the money-grubbing flatterer.
“Money talks, and you’re full of nonsense.”
Lin Wanfu immediately began to mutter, “I don’t like hearing that. You earn so much money, and you can’t possibly spend it all anyway. What’s wrong with letting me spend some of it?”
“Should I thank you for that too?” Su Che casually tossed his phone onto the office desk.
“No need. Helping you spend the money you can’t finish is all part of my job.” Lin Wanfu glanced at the time again. “President Su, it’s time. I should clock out. Don’t forget to transfer the hush money to my account.”
Su Che grabbed Lin Wanfu as she tried to turn and leave. “Wait, explain clearly—what is our relationship?”
“You’re the boss, and I’m your secretary.” Lin Wanfu’s beautiful eyes curved into crescent moons, her gaze filled with a radiant smile, as enchanting as a halo around the moon, captivating to behold.
Su Che pursed his lips lightly. “Then how did spending my money become part of your job?”
He didn’t know what was wrong with him, but he was deeply dissatisfied with Lin Wanfu’s answer.
Lin Wanfu fiddled with the collar of Su Che’s shirt, gazing at him with an innocent expression. Her warm breath brushed softly against his flushed ear. “Because I’m a greedy secretary. I want to take shortcuts to spend my boss’s money.”
Understanding the implication behind her words, Su Che’s tone grew more urgent. “You have no ambition!”
He prided himself on having good self-control, but today he had lost count of how many times he’d been provoked.
“Mhm, yes, yes, you’re absolutely right.” Lin Wanfu’s attitude was utterly dismissive.
Seeing that Lin Wanfu remained unmoved, Su Che was at a loss. He could only lay his cards on the table: “Don’t even think about those crooked ideas. I’m not that kind of person. I would never engage in an improper relationship with my own employee.”
Lin Wanfu neither agreed nor disagreed with Su Che’s words. She took out her phone and checked the time again.
“I’ve already worked five minutes overtime, which rounds up to six hours. You have to pay me overtime.”
Su Che looked at the mathematical genius before him with utter speechlessness. “Was your math teacher a PE instructor?”
Hearing this, Lin Wanfu’s expression suddenly turned cold. She pushed aside the obstructing Su Che and headed toward the office door.
“Lin Wanfu…”
Su Che instinctively called out, but Lin Wanfu ignored him completely. A flicker of helplessness crossed his eyes.
He hadn’t even said anything—why was she angry?
With her foot on the gas all the way, Lin Wanfu made it back to her apartment in less than ten minutes. She took her keys from her bag and unlocked the door.
After kicking off her high heels in the entryway, she swapped them for a pair of fluffy slippers from the shoe rack.
As soon as she entered the living room, she saw a handsome man sitting on the sofa, reading a book.
He wore a simple black shirt, with the top two buttons casually undone, revealing his delicate collarbone and faintly visible chest muscles—a sight that was particularly eye-catching.
“Shen Congyan, why are you in my home?” Lin Wanfu slightly furrowed her delicate brows.
Hearing her voice, Shen Congyan slowly shifted his gaze from the book to Lin Wanfu, who stood not far away.
“Come here.” His tone was devoid of emotion, his voice cool and detached, carrying a grainy, husky quality.Lin Wanfu found it utterly ridiculous. “You think I’ll just come over because you say so? Who do you think you are?”
“You never learn.”
Shen Congyan slowly rose to his feet, advancing toward Lin Wanfu step by step, an aura of danger radiating from him.
Seeing this, Lin Wanfu instinctively turned and ran toward the door, but no matter how hard she tried, it wouldn’t budge.
The heavy sound of footsteps drew closer.
Shen Congyan’s large hand firmly gripped Lin Wanfu’s waist from behind, pressing her against the cold surface of the door.
“Tell me, what did you do today?”
He leaned in close to the side of her neck, his intense masculine scent overwhelming her senses, causing her entire body to tremble uncontrollably.
