Shen Beitang stared at Gu Zhun's face for a long time, then reached out and pinched it hard.

"How come you, a villain, are more attractive than the male lead?"

Gu Zhun pinched her cheek in return and asked in a deep voice, "So, did you manage to attract their attention?"

What I fear most is a man's affectionate gaze, and what I fear even more is the affectionate gaze of a handsome man.

Shen Beitang subconsciously let go, looked away without looking again, and fiddled with the roly-poly toy on the table.

"You're still a long way from messing with me."

"Oh?" Gu Zhun chuckled softly, "It seems I still have a lot to learn."

Gu Zhun glanced at his phone, a gentle look appearing in his eyes.

"Aunt Lin asked me to take you back for dinner."

Upon hearing about food, Shen Beitang's eyes lit up, and he nodded repeatedly in agreement, after all, the broth that Aunt Lin cooked last time was absolutely amazing.

"Then what are we waiting for? Let's go now."

“But it’s still working hours.” Gu Zhun glanced at his watch, feigning seriousness.

"There are still 15 minutes until I get off work."

"Going to work is nothing compared to the fun of skipping work. Let me show you how it's fun today."

Shen Beitang was already quite familiar with the top floor. In addition to the elevator at the main entrance, there was also an elevator in the bedroom that went directly to the first floor.

Linda and her assistant Lin were still sitting outside the door, working diligently.

Shen Beitang led Gu Zhun crouching down, passing under the table, and into the bedroom.

To avoid being discovered, the two communicated entirely through eye contact.

They looked like a young couple having an affair in the office.

"How was it? Was it fun?"

Shen Beitang now understands why some people like to seek thrills in public places.

On the one hand, you have to be careful not to be discovered, but the thrill of sneaking around keeps your adrenaline pumping.

But Gu Zhun didn't answer, and Shen Beitang felt uneasy.

Does Gu Zhun love going to work so much that he got angry just because he left 15 minutes early?

She turned her head to peek at his expression, only to find Gu Zhun staring straight at her.

Don't you think something's missing?

Gu Zhun's voice sounded muffled in the elevator, making her head spin.

Something's missing. Maybe the computer wasn't turned off? Or maybe I didn't finish reading the file?

Gu Zhun sighed, lowered his head helplessly, and their foreheads touched.

Gu Zhun's lips gently touched the tip of her nose, lingering there...

"One healing kiss is missing."

Soft and sweet, like a black datura flower.

Knowing that hell lies below, they are still drawn in and fall...

"bite--"

The sound of the elevator arriving pulled Shen Beitang back to her senses. She suddenly pushed Gu Zhun away and pretended to be angry.

"If you kiss me suddenly again next time, I'll get angry."

"Okay, next time I'll tell you in advance, then I'll kiss you again."

Gu Zhun stroked her hair, gently smoothing the cat's already ruffled fur.

...

"Mr. Gu, something terrible has happened!"

The security guard at the gate came running over, panting, and shouted anxiously.

"What's going on?" Gu Zhun asked with an unfriendly expression. "Don't you know that my rule is that loud noises are not allowed?"

The security guard turned pale with fright, not expecting Gu Zhun to be so angry, and his legs trembled slightly.

"That, it is..."

He couldn't utter a complete sentence for most of the day.

"Tell me nicely, President Gu isn't angry anymore," Shen Beitang comforted him considerately.

The security guard cautiously glanced up at Gu Zhun's face, and only when he saw that it had indeed improved a lot did he feel relieved.

"The young master of the Shan Group was shouting and yelling at the entrance of our hall, talking about us, talking about us..."

"Shan Chengming?" Gu Zhun's already cold eyes darkened further. "I think he doesn't want to live anymore."

Shen Beitang also found it strange, as several months had passed since their engagement.

Even if Shan Chengming wanted to make a scene, he wouldn't have dragged it out until now.

Moreover, she was the one who embarrassed him at the engagement banquet, so what's the point of her coming to find Gu Zhun?

What are you doing following me?

Gu Zhun stopped and asked coldly, "Is it because I'm afraid of bullying your 'former' fiancé?"

Gu Zhun looked at the person opposite him, hoping she would dare to utter a single word, or even a single plea, for Shan Chengming.

He immediately built a cage and locked Shen Beitang up.

Then scrape off that damned Shan Chengming piece by piece...

"I don't want to be delayed from having dinner at Aunt Lin's."

Gu Zhun stared intently into her eyes and couldn't tell she was lying, so he felt inexplicably relieved.

"You'd better really think that way."

...

What are you all doing here?

As soon as Gu Zhun spoke, the lobby, which was originally full of people, scattered in an instant.

Only a small number of those who were not afraid of death remained, secretly observing from the surroundings.

Shan Chengming, being the eldest son of the company, cares most about his image.

Even if it's just going out to buy late-night snacks, you have to be impeccably dressed, and even your perfume has to be changed according to the weather.

But even someone as meticulous as her looks now has a hairstyle that looks like it hasn't been trimmed in half a month.

His lower face was covered with bluish stubble, his lips were dry and cracked from dehydration, and only one of the diamond cuffs on his sleeve remained.

Upon seeing Gu Zhun and Shen Beitang, his previously cloudy gaze turned fierce.

"Shen Beitang, you little bitch! Just because I don't like you, you hold a grudge and actually sent Gu Zhun to deal with me!"

Shan Chengming pointed at Shen Beitang and started cursing like a shrew.

Shen Beitang stood coldly to the side, her eyes filled with nothing but disdain as she looked at him.

If the original owner hadn't died, and saw Shan Chengming, whom she had been obsessed with all her life, become like this, would she still be happy for him?

"Shan Chengming, how did you become so pathetic?"

Shen Beitang's words deeply wounded Shan Chengming's already fragile self-esteem.

He had always been used to Shen Beitang's subservient attitude towards him and his superior attitude towards her.

Now, the other party is saying that I am pathetic?

"Shen Beitang, who do you think caused my current situation? It's you, and you too!"

"Because of Gu Zhun's first words, our Shan family's business is now completely ruined!"

Following the engagement banquet, the Shan family received numerous cancellations nationwide and also had to pay substantial compensation.

The Shan family is now heavily indebted, and no bank is willing to continue lending to them.

The entire company isn't even an empty shell...

"roll!"

Gu Zhun kicked Shan Chengming in the chest and pulled Shen Beitang into his arms.

Caught off guard, Shan Chengming was kicked and coughed up blood.

"Brother Chengming!"

A pretty figure rushed over from the crowd and helped Shan Chengming, who had fallen to the ground.

Bai Ling cried, her voice trembling with sobs, her eyes streaked with tears: "Brother Chengming, how could you be so foolish as to come here by yourself?"

Compared to Shan Chengming's decadence, Bai Ling was dressed very fashionably, if I remember correctly.

From clothes to shoes, bags, and even the most unassuming accessories, everything is a new seasonal design.

"Tangtang, I know you're a reasonable person, please let us go."

Bai Ling turned around and knelt down in front of Shen Beitang with tears streaming down her face.
