On their very first day of business, they made such a huge profit – it was an incredible windfall!

The woman's voice was clear and bright, and she enunciated each word clearly as she read the agreement in her hand with perfect pronunciation.

Gu Zhendong gazed at the girl's beautiful profile, her thick, long hair falling from behind her ears. Lu Huan was engrossed in reading the agreement in her hand, completely unaware of her own hair.

Gu Zhendong, however, found it slightly displeasing and wanted to reach out and fix her hair.

That posture was too intimate and would frighten Lu Huan, so Gu Zhendong restrained himself from touching her.

Her hair was disheveled, but Lu Huan didn't care. With her eyes lowered, a faint, youthful fragrance filled the air.

Take a deep breath; the air is slightly sweet.

The emotions that had been building up in my chest for days dissipated, and my headache completely disappeared.

Gu Zhendong breathed a sigh of relief; it was indeed the right decision to seek her out.

Her medication was far more effective than painkillers and had no side effects.

As Lu Huan read, she glanced at the man sitting on the sofa out of the corner of her eye.

This furtive glance unexpectedly met the man's gaze.

Her heart skipped a beat, and like a thief caught in the act, she hurriedly averted her gaze, crumpling the A4 paper in her hand.

Oh no, I got caught peeking! My heart is pounding and my ears are burning hot.

Lu Huan was in a state of confusion for a while when suddenly a flash of inspiration struck him.

Gu Zhendong was also looking at her?

When did he start staring at me?

She hadn't dressed up properly before going out today; would Gu Zhendong think she looked ugly?

She was both shy and flustered, and extremely annoyed. She should have put on makeup before going out.

When a person's mind is in turmoil, everything else is in turmoil as well.

Even his best skill was messed up; he misread several words in a row.

Gu Zhendong didn't realize he was staring at Lu Huan in a daze until the other person raised a pair of watery eyes, and he finally came to his senses.

A strange emotion, unlike anything he had ever felt before, welled up inside him. It was as if something was densely invading his heart, and he felt a little breathless in his chest, yet it was a different kind of palpitation than before.

His body quickly became hot, and his throat felt very uncomfortable. He forcefully tugged at his tie with his long, slender fingers.

The sudden surge of unfamiliar emotions made Gu Zhendong feel very uncomfortable.

Is there something wrong with his health again?

To conceal his abnormal behavior, Gu Zhendong casually picked up a document and began to read it.

The dense text on the document suddenly came to life, each character jumping and flickering in his eyes, making it impossible for Gu Zhendong to concentrate on a single word.

The scent of the young girl lingered in the air, growing ever more fragrant, and what appeared before my eyes were the woman's shimmering eyes from just moments before.

My heart skipped a beat, and that indescribable feeling of being unable to breathe came over me again.

They came so suddenly and quickly that he had no chance to resist.

Gu Zhendong disliked this feeling of being out of control. He frowned slightly, trying to banish this emotion from his heart.

It didn't help much; in fact, he seemed to be getting sicker.

Lu Huan was flustered. After a while, Gu Zhendong seemed not to have realized that he had misread the word and slowly calmed down.

After reading a few more lines, she didn't know where she got the courage, but she secretly looked up at Gu Zhendong again.

Gu Zhendong's attire was no different from the previous days. If there was any difference, it was that he was wearing a white shirt underneath today, which didn't make him look as aloof as he did in a black shirt.

His tie was casually undone, his Adam's apple protruded, and his expression was languid yet charming.

The man's profile was sharp and perfectly defined, and he stared intently at the document in his hand, as if he were appraising a rare treasure.

It's pleasing to the eye from any angle.

She could look at a man like that for a lifetime!

No, she couldn't watch anymore.

If she gets caught peeking at him again, Gu Zhendong will definitely think she's a lovesick fool.

Reluctantly turning his gaze away, he continued reading the agreement in his hands, silently reminding himself: making money is the priority.

Lu Huan was halfway through reading the agreement when there was a knock on the door. She stopped and looked up at the door.

A few seconds later, Gu Zhendong was engrossed in reading the documents, seemingly oblivious to the sounds around him.

Lu Huan kindly reminded him, "Mr. Gu, someone is knocking on the door."

Gu Zhendong wasn't unaware of what Lu Huan was saying; it was just that Lu Huan's gaze was so intense that he couldn't help but notice.

For the first time, he felt a sense of trepidation, fearing that if he met Lu Huan's bright eyes, the emotions he had managed to suppress would surge up again.

The illnesses he suffered over the years taught Gu Zhendong a lesson: restraint and forbearance.

Gu Zhendong covered his mouth and coughed lightly before responding.

Kong Xunren hesitated for a long time outside. If it weren't for the fact that board members would be attending the meeting later, he wouldn't have dared to disturb his boss's private time with his crush.

He waited patiently at the door for a moment, and only after receiving a response from Gu Zhendong did he push the door open and enter.

However, the situation inside the office was not quite what he had expected.

Gu Zhendong and Lu Huan sat on separate sofas, about a meter apart, each holding a document. Their serious expressions suggested a superior-subordinate relationship.

What's going on?

Kong Xun stared at Lu Huan for a long time, his eyes filled with surprise.

Gu Zhendong frowned unhappily and coughed, saying, "If there's nothing else, go outside."

His voice was much colder than usual.

Kong Xun had been following Gu Zhendong for seven or eight years, so how could he not know that Gu Zhendong's cold tone was actually a sign of anger?

As for why he was angry, Kong Xun glanced at the man on the sofa with a sinister expression, shivered, and dared not look at Lu Huan again.

His boss's possessiveness was far too strong; he had only glanced at it a few times.

Remembering his purpose, he quickly said, "Mr. Gu, should we postpone the meeting in five minutes?"

Lu Huan said quite a bit, and by now Gu Zhendong's headache had completely subsided and should not recur for some time.

"Need not."

Perfect timing, I'm in good spirits today, so I can deal with those troublesome old men on the board of directors.

Lu Huan overheard Gu Zhendong saying he was going to a meeting. What about her?

We can't stay here forever!

Seeing the man get up from the sofa, Lu Huan immediately put down the documents in her hand and stood up as well.

"Wait!" Lu Huan called out to Gu Zhendong, "Mr. Gu, it's getting late, I should head back!"

It was just past noon, and she didn't want to go back to school, so she decided to go home and catch up on her sleep.

The man frowned, not wanting to let Lu Huan leave so soon. He was worried that his headache would flare up again after dealing with those old men.

Having suffered from the illness for so long, he also longed to live like a normal person.

"The agreement hasn't been fully read yet."

"Since you've only read half of the agreement, I'll just take half the money!"

She's a conscientious businesswoman; she wouldn't overcharge her customers by a single penny.

Lu Huan smiled and took out her phone: "Mr. Gu, how would you like to transfer the money to me? WeChat or Alipay are both fine."

"I'll pay you after you've finished reading it all."

"Wh-what?"

"I'll be back soon, wait for me here."

"..."

Gu Zhendong turned and walked away with a flourish, leaving Lu Huan standing there dumbfounded.

Before Gu Zhendong went to the conference room, he instructed Kong Xun: "Send someone to take good care of her. She is not allowed to leave before I return."

Kong Xun nodded and then turned to contact one of his assistants.

Lu Huan stood there dumbfounded until the man's figure disappeared from sight before she came to her senses.

So, should she leave or stay?

She had painstakingly read a page, but hadn't received a single penny, and was leaving like this—she was unwilling to accept it!

As Lu Huan hesitated, a woman a little older than her knocked on the door and came in.

The other woman wore delicate and elegant makeup and a well-fitting business suit, which made her look even more capable.

Lu Huan assumed the other person was there to report to Gu Zhendong, and said, "Your boss Gu isn't here; he's in a meeting!"

The female assistant explained, "I'm Mr. Gu's assistant. I'd like to ask if there's anything you'd like to eat, and we can provide it for you."

The female assistant received a message from Kong Xun saying that Miss Lu in President Gu's office had a special status and that she must be treated well.

We can't let Miss Lu leave before President Gu returns.

Ah, they're not here to see Gu Zhendong, but to serve themselves.

Lu Huan felt embarrassed to disturb other people's work hours, so she waved her hand and said, "No need, I'll just sit here."

The female assistant smiled and said, "Okay, Ms. Lu, if you need anything, you can look for me. I'll be right outside."

"good."

Gu Zhendong's office was large and cold, without even a single green plant, which perfectly matched his aloof persona.

Lu Huan nestled on the soft sofa, dozing off while forcing herself to stay awake, idly counting how many books were on the bookshelf.

After counting back and forth several times, Gu Zhendong still hadn't returned.

Didn't you say you'd be back soon? More than half an hour has passed!

He's clearly playing her for a fool!

Is he trying to take the opportunity to renege on his debt and not give her the five thousand yuan?

Gu Zhendong is so rich that he owns most of the buildings in the CBD. Ten thousand yuan is just a drop in the ocean to him, and he doesn't care about it at all.

He shouldn't be that stingy, right?

Thinking back to Gu Zhendong's words before he left, Lu Huan remained curled up on the sofa without moving.

Forget it, she'll wait a bit longer for the sake of the money.

Everything in the office was of the highest quality, including the sofa she was sitting on, which had been specially imported from abroad.

The leather sofa was so soft and comfortable, like lying on a marshmallow, that it made me so sleepy that my eyelids were drooping.

I really want to take a nap.

She took a short nap, and after Gu Zhendong returned, she finished reading the rest, took the money, and went home.

At today's meeting, a few old guys from the board of directors started making a scene.

They somehow found out that Gu Zhendong had fallen into a coma a while ago, and thinking he was about to die, they couldn't wait to come out and throw their lives away.

Since none of them want to stay any longer, I don't mind sending them away sooner rather than later.

The fact that Gu Zhendong appeared in the conference room, not as sickly as they had imagined, was enough to shock the old folks.

Didn't they say he was terminally ill?

He didn't look sick at all.

Gu Zhendong glanced at the people in the conference room with a gloomy look, especially those old guys, who trembled inexplicably under his gaze.

After the meeting, the old men didn't dare to breathe loudly. Gu Zhendong had berated them so badly that they didn't dare to utter a single word. They did whatever Gu Zhendong said.

The meeting lasted much longer than Gu Zhendong had imagined.

The people below were reporting on their work, while Gu Zhendong sat there with a gloomy face, the atmosphere stiff and cold.

Nobody knew what was wrong with President Gu today; he seemed fiercer and colder than usual.

The longer the meeting went on, the uglier the man in the head seat looked.

Of those present, only Kong Xun probably knew the truth.

There was nothing we could do; after all, there was a young woman sitting in President Gu's office.

Mr. Gu must be eager to get back to his office to see Miss Lu!

After the meeting ended, Gu Zhendong left with a gloomy face.

Those unaware of the situation curiously asked Kong Xun, "Secretary Kong, is President Gu in a bad mood today?"

Kong Xun shook his head mysteriously at him: "It's hard to say."

It's best for the employees to refrain from gossiping about the boss's affairs.

Kong Xun had been with Gu Zhendong for so many years, and never imagined that one day President Gu would care about a woman.

It seems they've already fallen for Miss Lu.

The female assistant kept watching from the office doorway.

Upon seeing Gu Zhendong arrive, he immediately stood up and reported, "Miss Lu has been staying in your office and hasn't come out."

Has it still not come out?

She doesn't look like someone who would listen to reason at all.

Gu Zhendong frowned, wanting to see what was going on inside.

The door opened quietly, and upon entering, the first thing that caught the eye was a young girl, Che, nestled on the sofa, her head tilted to one side, fast asleep.

The man unconsciously softened his movements and slowed his pace as he walked over.

She carefully examined the sleeping person, trying to figure out who was different from her.

He would have scoffed at the idea that a person's voice could cure his headache, but before seeing it, he would have scorned such nonsense.

But now that he has actually met such a person, I actually want him to understand this person more deeply.

During the two days they were transformed into cats, they were inseparable.

During that time, he didn't notice anything unusual about Lu Huan. He spent his days either studying or petting him.

Lu Huan's sleeping posture was not good. As she slept, her body sank down, her hair was messy, and a few strands of hair covered her fair face.

Gu Zhendong had been holding back for a long time. He placed one hand on her, his fingers hooking around a few strands of her soft hair. Her hair was very soft, and his fingertips easily wrapped around it, tucking her hair behind her ear to reveal her tender skin.

This looks much better.

He had just finished when the girl under his fingers stirred.

Thinking that Lu Huan was about to wake up, Gu Zhendong quickly withdrew his fingers like a thief, straightening his stiff back and turning his back to Lu Huan.

Behind me came soft, lingering moans, and then there was no more sound.

Is she awake or not?

Gu Zhendong hesitated for two or three seconds, twisted his stiff neck, and looked down at the girl on the sofa.

She had turned the sofa into a bed, found a comfortable position, and was fast asleep, still not awake.

The man breathed a sigh of relief, his tense nerves relaxing.

It turned out to be a false alarm.

However, the hair that had just been straightened instantly became messy again.

Gu Zhendong's obsessive-compulsive disorder kicked in, and he couldn't help but bend down and fix her hair again.

After fixing his hair, Gu Zhendong was about to pull his hand back when he was suddenly grabbed by a small, cold hand.

The man's body stiffened, and his first reaction was to look at Lu Huan.

Lu Huan: Huh? Didn't we agree there would be no aftereffects? What is this?

She looked down at the person clinging to her side...

Gu Zhendong: Hmph, I'm just a leg accessory~
