Chapter 63: An Unwelcome Interruption

“Oh, please don’t be so impulsive about this, Miss!”

Xiao Lin had truly done his best. He gently pulled the office door shut, then continued to communicate with Gu Xue in a low voice.

“Miss, please think carefully. If you just barge in now, what problems will it truly solve, other than making things awkward for everyone? And what standing would you even have to question President Gu? I understand it must be uncomfortable for you to see President Gu interacting with another woman, but… this is, after all, President Gu’s private life, so…”

Xiao Lin’s words seemed to have temporarily calmed Gu Xue. The young woman took two deep breaths and narrowed her eyes. After a moment, she nodded slightly, yet still spoke.

“I know… I’m just Dad’s adopted daughter. I can’t control who he’s with, but… not that woman! I don’t like that little green tea at all, so… I must make this clear to Dad! That woman is clearly approaching him with ulterior motives. I absolutely cannot let her charm Dad! I’m going to enlighten him. I must tell him face-to-face!”

Gu Xue had no intention of backing down; this was her absolute limit! After all, at the hospital entrance last time, that little green tea had adamantly claimed she had no interest in Dad, but now… she was doing this in the office with him.

How could anyone not be suspicious?

Ugh…

However, hearing Gu Xue’s words, Xiao Lin harbored some differing opinions. He wiped the sweat from his forehead, then couldn’t help but mutter to himself…

Considering President Gu’s previous behavior towards Zhou Ruoyu, it was truly hard to say who was approaching whom with ulterior motives.

“This… perhaps you’re just overthinking it, Miss? After all, President Gu isn’t exactly young anymore. He…”

“Xiao Lin! Enough with the nonsense, didn’t you see what just happened in the office? That woman, she… she was seducing Dad into…”

“Cough, cough, cough! I moved aside and covered my ears from the very beginning. I don’t know what happened at all!”

Facing Gu Xue’s interrogation, Xiao Lin quickly waved his hands, issuing a disclaimer. Of course, he was speaking the truth; he genuinely didn’t know what ‘recreational activities’ were taking place in the office.

As a professional assistant, he was only responsible for safeguarding his boss. His boss’s private life was none of his business. Naturally, if his boss’s adopted daughter wanted to interfere, he found it difficult to stop her… after all, this was someone else’s family matter.

Seeing Xiao Lin’s attitude, Gu Xue simply ignored him. The young woman immediately turned and was about to charge straight into the office. Xiao Lin could only quickly reach out, offering one last reminder.

“At least knock first, then wait a few seconds before entering…”

“Tsk…”

Gu Xue huffed, taking an annoyed deep breath, but she still complied. She reached out and irritably tapped the door panel twice.

“Knock, knock—”

Inside the room, the long-haired loli was almost unable to stand, on the verge of collapsing. Suddenly, upon hearing the knocking, she froze for a moment, then jolted awake!

Hiss, why was someone else coming?

Zhou Ruoyu instantly looked at Gu Jiachen in a panic. The perverted CEO also paused, as he had already told Xiao Lin to stand guard at the door. At this moment, suddenly… uh… who could it be?

He gently pulled up the zipper of the young woman’s bodycon dress, just about to call out to Xiao Lin to ask about the situation. Unexpectedly, Gu Xue, who had waited three seconds, couldn’t wait any longer and immediately pushed the door open!

Catching sight of his ex-girlfriend, Zhou Ruoyu gasped, her heart sinking. Realizing that there would be huge trouble if Gu Xue saw her in this position, she immediately dropped to her hands and knees, scrambling under Gu Jiachen’s office desk in a panic.

‘Hide, hide!’

Gu Jiachen looked at the young woman, a little stunned, then silently sat back in his office chair. The long-haired loli’s face was now directly facing Gu Jiachen’s pants. After a moment, Zhou Ruoyu, still crouching, suddenly felt something was off. ‘No… why does this situation feel like…’

‘The perverted CEO isn’t going to play some under-the-desk game with me in front of another sugar baby, is he?’

‘No… that’s not right. It could even be worse. The key is… the key is why Gu Xue was also called to the office. Could Gu Jiachen have called her too? Hiss—No, could he want a double… double…’

‘Flight!’

Zhou Ruoyu couldn’t quite imagine the scene of herself and Gu Xue being ‘trained’ by the perverted CEO together; it felt a little too perverted. However… after a moment, Gu Jiachen’s words dispelled the young woman’s doubts.

“Why are you here, Xue’er?”

Gu Jiachen spoke to Gu Xue with a slight awkwardness, unsure if Gu Xue had seen Zhou Ruoyu. Nevertheless, Gu Jiachen’s calm demeanor immediately irritated Gu Xue.

While she didn’t know where that little green tea was hiding, she was certain she hadn’t left the room. Otherwise, could Dad really conjure a living person out of thin air?

“Nothing… I was just bored and wanted to come play with Dad…”

‘Gu Jiachen didn’t call her, it was… Gu Xue herself coming to throw herself at him?!’

Upon hearing this news, Zhou Ruoyu’s mood became instantly complex, yet a strange sense of successful revenge inexplicably arose within her.

‘Look, while the matter of bankrupting Gu Jiachen’s company hasn’t made any progress, at least… through my efforts of enduring humiliation, I’ve managed to make Gu Xue fall out of favor, haven’t I? It seems that because of my appearance, Gu Xue has also been neglected quite a bit by Gu Jiachen, hmm…’

‘Wait, this isn’t really something to be proud of, boohoo~’

Despite this, Gu Xue was well aware that the young woman was likely jealous of her relationship with Gu Jiachen. She looked up, meeting Gu Jiachen’s gaze, and seeing the slight awkwardness in President Gu’s eyes, she felt a surge of secret delight.

“I… I’m a bit busy right now, Xue’er. How about this, wherever you want to go play, I’ll have Xiao Lin transfer money to you later, and you can go have fun for a while…”

Gu Jiachen thought that Gu Xue was most likely still reeling from the breakup and thus repeatedly sought someone to confide in. Rather than that, traveling might be a good way to release her emotions.

Only…

His words sounded as if he was trying to send her away for the sake of that little green tea!

Gu Xue immediately gritted her teeth, realizing Dad had been charmed to this extent. Since that was the case, she could no longer indulge him. So, she abruptly shook her head, then immediately walked to the opposite side of the desk and sat down, speaking to Gu Jiachen.

“No… Dad, I need to remind you of something! I… I know Dad might be a bit lonely recently, but… but even if you’re very lonely, you must be careful about the women around you. Some people cannot be easily trusted!”
