Chapter 47: The Perverse CEO’s Punishment

Confronted with the orange Gu Jiachen offered, Zhou Ruoyu bit into it without hesitation! Cough, cough… Regardless of anything else, its effect was undeniably exceptional, successfully ensnaring the perverse CEO.

However… a moment later, after the young woman had sucked the orange into her mouth with her tongue, the situation took a rather unexpected turn.

Because… Gu Jiachen, that guy, he, he, he… he actually pinched her tongue!

The CEO suddenly used two fingers to clamp the tip of the young woman’s tongue. Then, he slowly pulled out her small, pink tongue, causing Zhou Ruoyu’s eyes to widen in shock.

She nearly bit off her own tongue right then and there!

‘No, this isn’t how you play! This is far too shameful, too perverse!’

Seeing the young woman’s expression, a mix of shyness and indignation, Gu Jiachen finally released her with a mischievous smile. He then spoke softly:

“This is punishment for a naughty, disobedient little bunny~”

‘Ugh… Pervert is pervert. Don’t always use ‘punishment’ as an excuse… Damn it!’

Zhou Ruoyu immediately lowered her head, her heart pounding. Had being pulled by the tongue triggered some strange switch within her?

The kept young woman sighed. She couldn’t help it; when under someone else’s roof, one had to bow their head. She didn’t even dare to talk back, boohoo.

And so, in the hospital room, Gu Jiachen quietly stayed by the young woman’s side, holding her palm until the IV drip finished. From time to time, he would even feed the ‘little bunny’ some food and drink.

Zhou Ruoyu, though feeling like every day was a year under the care of her CEO archenemy, was at least able to have Gu Jiachen put on some videos for her to watch. In stark contrast… Gu Xue, who was hiding outside the room, secretly observing everything inside, felt like every second was a year.

Indeed, without realizing it, Zhou Ruoyu and Gu Xue’s positions seemed to have swapped. The ex-girlfriend gazed, stunned, at the domineering yet subtly ambiguous atmosphere within the hospital room, her mind a chaotic mess.

‘No, that’s not right… When Dad takes care of someone, shouldn’t it be like in my room just now, so awkward he couldn’t find a topic? Why… in front of this little green tea, can he seem so… gentle, even without speaking?’

This… Gu Xue instantly felt her legs tremble, nearly losing her footing. After a long while, she managed to lean against the wall and shook her head.

A strong sense of frustration surged within her, yet Gu Xue couldn’t even fathom why she was inferior to this long-haired ‘little green tea.’ Why did both Dad and Ruoyu abandon her to revolve around this person? This…

‘She might be cute, but I’m not bad either! As for personality… I’m definitely better than a little green tea who seduces other people’s boyfriends!’

So… why, why?

After a long pause, the light slowly faded from the girl’s perplexed eyes. Gu Xue slowly clutched the corner of her clothes, then… simply found a corner and squatted down. Ignoring her own injuries, she waited with considerable patience.

****

An hour later, Zhou Ruoyu, finally done with her IV, touched her forehead. She felt much better, believing her fever would likely break tomorrow. She let out a sigh of relief on the spot.

The CEO archenemy looked at the IV bag, then removed the needle from the young woman’s arm, pressing her hand for a moment before letting go. He then asked:

“How do you feel, little bunny? Better? Do you need to rest a bit longer?”

“Mm… I-I’m fine… I want to go home.”

‘Anyway, I feel like the fever has somewhat subsided, or maybe you just scared it away…’ Zhou Ruoyu silently grumbled in her heart.

She immediately rejected the CEO archenemy’s invitation to extend their little hospital room story. ‘What a joke! I… I absolutely refuse to stay with Gu Jiachen any longer!’

Adhering to this principle, Zhou Ruoyu didn’t even want a ride home. Gu Jiachen had barely dangled his luxury car keys in front of her before the young woman quickly waved him off, showing him no face at all.

“What? You don’t even need me to drive you home? Hmph… Is your little boyfriend coming to pick you up?” Gu Jiachen said, gently hooking his finger under the young woman’s chin, clearly intending to prevent her from leaving.

Zhou Ruoyu quickly shook her head, explaining, “I don’t want to trouble CEO Gu. Ugh… I already said, I don’t have a little boyfriend…”

“Hmph… Fine. I didn’t expect my little bunny to be so considerate of me. Well, I’ll have to properly reward you on our next date~”

The young woman seemed to detect a hint of gloom in the CEO archenemy’s tone, and her relaxed heart immediately tensed up again. Soon, the two walked from the hospital room all the way to the hospital entrance.

Gu Jiachen turned his head once more and asked, “Are you really sure you don’t need me to drive you home?”

“Cough, cough, my home is quite close, CEO Gu…” Zhou Ruoyu coughed twice.

Gu Jiachen said nothing more, turning and leaving. Zhou Ruoyu watched his retreating back, finally letting out a sigh of relief.

‘Whew~ The great crisis has finally been averted!’

After finally seeing off the biggest troublemaker, the CEO archenemy, Zhou Ruoyu didn’t immediately leave the hospital. Instead, she stood for a moment at the hospital entrance.

The young woman took out her phone, remembering the Dragon Wing situation. ‘Ah, tomorrow is Monday after all. I can’t just not go to work; I still have to be a customer service Pal.’

Now that she had just given her boss, Dragon Wing, a piece of business intelligence, it was the perfect time to make demands, otherwise, she wouldn’t have any leverage. Zhou Ruoyu took a deep breath, ignoring what her boss might think, and immediately began sending WeChat messages:

[Zhou Ruoyu: Boss, there’s something I want to tell you…]

[Zhou Ruoyu: Gao Lan, the head of the customer service department you assigned me to, and Liu Ruyan, the team leader, they’ve ganged up to bully me!]

[Zhou Ruoyu: Liu Ruyan even told me that if my performance doesn’t meet the standards next week, she’ll fire me directly during my probation period.]

[Zhou Ruoyu: I’ve contributed so much to our Dragon Wing. Boss, you definitely won’t stand by and let something like this happen, right? Right?]

After finishing her pitiful plea, Zhou Ruoyu took a sharp breath, silently awaiting her boss’s reply.

Gu Jiachen, who had just gotten into the driver’s seat, glanced at his screen and saw the messages from the young woman. The CEO gripped the steering wheel, silently noting down those two names… his brows gradually furrowing.

‘Well, I’ll definitely handle things. But this little bunny… she doesn’t even want to ride in my car, which makes things difficult for me~’

A moment later, the CEO chuckled mischievously, then replied, feigning heartlessness:

[Boss: If your work ability isn’t good enough, then don’t do it. Focus on getting close to Gu Jiachen and getting intelligence instead.]

… ‘Holy crap!’

Looking at her boss, Dragon Wing’s, reply, the young woman’s mouth twitched. ‘Is this even a person? I’ve contributed so much to Dragon Wing, and the solution offered when I’m being bullied is… to endure more humiliation?’

‘I’m not a masochist! Boohoo…’

Suddenly realizing that perhaps all CEOs in the world were bastard capitalists, the young woman closed her eyes in anger. After a long moment, she took a deep breath, finally calming herself.

Upon opening her eyes, the young woman’s heart was immediately struck again.

The long-haired loli blinked in confusion, then saw a tall figure who had, at some point, appeared directly in front of her.

‘Gu, Gu Xue?!’

“What is your relationship with Gu Jiachen?”
