Gu Tingye’s thin lips curved with a hint of sarcasm: “Should I praise Assistant Fang for being wise yet appearing foolish? Or should I say you’re hiding your true depths?”
Fang Mian grew increasingly confused: “Please clarify, President Gu.”
Gu Tingye narrowed his eyes, an inexplicable restlessness rising in his heart: “When do you plan to break up with Ziqian?”
So this was the reason for the punishment?
She had thought it was a work-related issue.
Fang Mian smiled meaningfully: “President Gu cares about this?”
If he cared about this relationship, then why did he sleep with her that night?
Gu Tingye’s expression darkened slightly: “What? Does Assistant Fang plan to romance him while playing ambiguous games with me? What kind of person do you take Gu Tingye for?”
How would she dare play ambiguous games with him!
That night was purely a moment of madness when she lost her temper!
If he hadn’t cunningly recorded a short video and used it to threaten her, how would she have agreed to that unreasonable demand and become controlled by him.
Seeing the faintly flickering dark fire in Gu Tingye’s eyes, Fang Mian felt that if she didn’t repay this romantic debt soon, her future days would likely be this turbulent every day.
She didn’t want to be that miserable!
Wasn’t it just ten times?
She wanted to settle the debt in one day.
The sooner it ended, the sooner she’d be free.
Fang Mian walked to the smart control panel and pressed the one-touch privacy protection device.
Then she slowly approached Gu Tingye, lifting her hips to sit on the desk: “If nothing unexpected happens, I might get my period in the next couple of days.”
Gu Tingye glanced at her thighs: “Is this related to the question I asked? You’re clearly avoiding the question.”
Fang Mian lowered her head and asked: “President Gu, do my legs look good?”
“Do you want to see more clearly?”
“I suddenly remembered. President Gu, you have somewhat heavy tastes, preferring more stimulating play.”
“How about… I call you Uncle from now on?”
Gu Tingye’s face darkened, and he suddenly pressed Fang Mian’s head, punishing her with a deep kiss.
Afterward, he warned with fierce eyes: “Don’t call me Uncle from now on!”
Fang Mian, breathing unevenly, leaned against his chest: “Then how about… we just start directly?”
Gu Tingye only held her waist, remaining silent for a long while.
Fang Mian frowned and looked up: “What’s wrong? President Gu?”
He was clearly already aroused, wasn’t he?
She could feel it.
“I’m thinking… which of these two words truly represents Assistant Fang’s true nature: strict and dignified, or hot and unrestrained.”
Fang Mian was momentarily stunned, then smiled charmingly: “Coincidentally, I also wanted to ask whether the modest gentleman is President Gu’s true nature, or whether unrestrained recklessness is…”
“You don’t need to know!”
His gaze burned as he stared at her, naturally pulling down the zipper of Fang Mian’s skirt…
Under his lingering gaze, Fang Mian’s face flushed uncontrollably.
Their body temperatures rose steadily.
Just then, the administrative department manager knocked on the door outside.
“President Gu, there’s an urgent document that needs approval and signature.”
“President Gu… President Gu, are you there?”
The knocking continued relentlessly.
The two had to stop abruptly.
“That damn Li Wei!” Gu Tingye’s forehead veins bulged, his eyes tinged with a terrifying crimson.
Fang Mian, flushed with embarrassment, pulled up her zipper, straightened her clothes, and stood up: “President Gu, please attend to your business first.”
Gu Tingye, furious, grabbed her wrist: “Come to my villa tonight at ten.”
“…Alright.”
Watching her dazzlingly seductive demeanor, Gu Tingye was momentarily stirred by passion. He pulled her into his embrace and kissed her thoroughly before letting her leave.
After stepping out of the office, the blush on Fang Mian’s face lingered for a full half hour before finally fading.
What a surprise.
At nine o’clock in the evening, her period unexpectedly arrived early.
Fang Mian was utterly speechless.
She had just finished showering and was preparing to go fulfill her debt-repayment appointment!
But what should she do now?
If she had known her period would come tonight, even if the heavens gave her a hundred times the courage, she wouldn’t have chosen to seduce Gu Tingye earlier that afternoon!
Now she was doomed!
She could only cancel at the last minute!
How should she explain this to President Gu?
“I’ve sent you the location. Come over!”
Looking at the WeChat message Gu Tingye had just sent, Fang Mian felt deeply frustrated.
Gu Tingye: “”
Gu Tingye: “Reply quickly! When will you arrive?”
Maybe… pretend to be asleep?
But it was only 9 p.m.—pretending to sleep would be way too early.
“When I looked up, you were gazing at me…”
As the song played, Gu Tingye directly called her via WeChat voice.
Fang Mian was so startled she nearly dropped her phone.
After swallowing hard, she had no choice but to answer the call: “President Gu.”
“You have time to answer a voice call but no time to reply to my messages, is that it?”
Gu Tingye’s tone was cold enough to freeze ice.
Fang Mian forced a smile and replied, “I was just about to reply when your call came through. We really are on the same wavelength, hahaha.”
Gu Tingye: “Don’t change the subject. You know my temper!”
Fang Mian’s scalp tingled as she reached up to touch her neck.
After hesitating for a few seconds, she spoke in a soft, sweet voice: “Um… President Gu, I might not be able to make it.”
Gu Tingye’s voice sounded as if it were squeezed through gritted teeth: “Reason.”
“My stomach hurts. Really.”
She even grimaced at the screen and let out a faint, breathy sigh.
Gu Tingye said coldly, “Are you insulting my intelligence? Do you think I’d believe that?”
Fang Mian continued trying her best to deceive him: “President Gu, you’re really wronging me. I’m not that delicate—didn’t you see how proactive I was this afternoon? Actually, I really enjoy the pleasure in bed too.”
“It’s just that I’m really not in a convenient condition right now because my period came.”
Gu Tingye’s tone was icy: “You’ve prepared quite a few excuses, haven’t you? First, you said your stomach hurt, and now you’re saying your period came. I suppose next you’ll say Gu Ziqian came to see you and you can’t leave?”
“Babe! You’re probably not asleep yet, right?”
“I can see your lights are still on! Open the door, babe! I brought you a gift!”
Gu Ziqian knocked loudly on the door, making it thump.
Fang Mian felt as if a savior had arrived. She held her phone closer to the door: “Listen, your nephew really did come to see me. I’ll hang up now, bye…”
“Babe! What are you doing in there? My back is about to break from standing outside. Hurry up and open the door!”
After ending the call, Fang Mian let out a heavy sigh!
Just as she sent off one big ancestor, another little ancestor arrived.
One she couldn’t break away from, and another she couldn’t separate from!
She didn’t want to enjoy this kind of torturous romantic fortune.
Someday soon, she’d have to go find a fortune teller to divine her fate.
To see if there was any way to cut off her rotten peach blossoms and transfer that luck to her career or finances instead.
Fang Mian opened the door.
As soon as Gu Ziqian entered, the first thing he did was look around the room.
“Why did it take you so long to open the door? I thought you were hiding something you shouldn’t be.”
Fang Mian picked up the charger to plug in her phone: “I was indeed hiding something I shouldn’t be. But it’s not a thing—it’s a person, and a man at that.”
