Tao Zhizhi was a little confused, but she nodded in response to Fu Jue's gaze.

Cen Lin watched the two people opposite him singing in unison, his eyes filled with helplessness, forcing a smile:

"I give up."

After the initial playful banter, Cen Lin looked at the two people opposite him, snuggling together sweetly, which was somewhat dazzling. He accepted the situation, which was now trying to shine brightly.

After Fu Jue tossed the documents to him, he didn't give him another glance. He sighed, quickly signed his name, pouted, looked at the two who were hugging and cuddling, and said goodbye speechlessly.

As soon as he left the office, he quickly pulled out his phone and changed the group name to: "[Eight married, one in a relationship, and I'm the only one single]".

Of course, the group chat, which was never going to get any replies, remained stuck on the last message he sent. Changing his name didn't change the fact that the group was just a bunch of bored, single guys like Cen Lin entertaining themselves.

Looking at the indifferent group chat, he murmured to himself, "Love, ah, it's truly captivating!"

——

"Sorry, Zhizhi, I had a last-minute meeting and I'm late."

Without Cen Lin's interference, Fu Jue leisurely enjoyed afternoon tea with Tao Zhizhi. He then picked up a tissue and gently wiped away the cream that had inadvertently gotten on her lips.

"It's okay, won't you show me around?"

Looking into her understanding and expectant eyes, Fu Jue couldn't resist leaning down and leaving a gentle, affectionate kiss on her lips.

"you--"

A kiss that caught me off guard. Luckily, there were only two of us in the office, otherwise, if someone had heard such a loud "kiss," I would have had to crawl into the ground.

Fu Jue led her towards the desk:

“Since this office was built, it has hardly changed except for the addition of me.”

Tao Zhizhi touched the reddish-brown table, then looked at Fu Jue; it did indeed seem a bit out of place.

"Why not decorate it a bit? It would make you feel much better at work."

Fu Jue guided her to sit in a chair, while he leaned against the table.

Pointing to the only picture frame beside the computer, besides the file holder, a slight smile played on his lips:

"Of course, look at this."

Tao Zhizhi picked it up curiously. It was a photo of her looking up at the fireworks from the rooftop yesterday. The photographer was clearly skilled. The scene of the two embracing, accompanied by the moment the fireworks burst, was very beautiful.

The unassuming Secretary Gu sneezed behind a pile of documents, rubbed his nose, and silently grumbled to himself:

It's October, time to put on more clothes.

"You even arranged for a photographer?!"

Tao Zhizhi exclaimed in surprise that the two of them had been seen kissing in a corner she didn't know about yesterday, and her face flushed again.

She felt her face burning and couldn't help but scold herself inwardly: [Why am I blushing again?!]

[No, I can't keep letting him laugh at me.]

Although Fu Jue was standing, Tao Zhizhi, who was sitting in the boss's chair, couldn't help but put on airs. Perhaps this was the nature bestowed upon her by the boss's position. She cleared her throat:

"Little Fu, you didn't slack off today, did you?"

Pointing to the documents next to him:

"Look, the task we assigned them so long ago is still not finished."

"Pfft—"

Interrupted by Fu Jue's smile, Tao Zhizhi suddenly couldn't remember what to say next, and pretended to be angry:

"Xiao Fu, when we're talking about work, don't be all smiles and jokes!"

Looking at her adorable little expression, Fu Jue suppressed a laugh, stood up straight, and responded with doting affection:

"President Tao's lesson is correct; I promise I won't make the same mistake again next time."

"Please be magnanimous and give me another chance. I will complete the task immediately."

Tao Zhizhi nodded in satisfaction at his cooperation.

"Yes, yes, keep up the good work, young man. You're the one I have the most faith in!"

"ah--"

Looking at her thoughtful expression, Fu Jue picked her up and sat down, letting her sit on his lap.

Their skin was separated by only two thin layers of fabric, their body heat interacting. Fu Jue touched her unadorned face:

"Is it fun?"

"Isn't it my turn now?"

"Mr. Tao?"

Tao Zhizhi felt as if she were being burned by his close body heat, and angrily tugged at his hand that was messing with her face:

"It's not fun! No way!"

"Oh, Zhizhi's not playing anymore?"

Fu Jue didn't intend to confine her, so Tao Zhizhi easily broke free from his grasp.

Her eyes darted around the office; it was so monotonous, it didn't seem like a place someone her age should be in. Finally, her gaze settled on a door.

"So it's true that in novels, the CEO's office always has a lounge!"

She was very interested in the small, enclosed space and quickly opened the door to the lounge to go inside.

To my great disappointment, there was only this simple little single room with a bathroom, a two-meter-wide bed, and a small wardrobe at the foot of the bed.

Fu Jue gently embraced her, his voice coming from behind her ear:

"Want to rest?"

"Hmm, I can tell. You really don't like going to work. You give off the impression that you're planning to run away."

Fu Jue buried his face in the crook of her neck, laughing softly.

"I only want to work for you."

As the two were cuddling, Secretary Gu hesitated for a moment before knocking on the door:

"Mr. Fu, may I come in?"

Tao Zhizhi took the initiative and pushed away the man who kept trying to take advantage of her:

"Xiao Fu, it's time to get to work!"

Fu Jue reluctantly released his sweet-smelling girlfriend and walked towards the boss's chair, his voice much gentler than usual:

"Bring it in."

Without anyone around to hug or cuddle, Tao Zhizhi stood in front of the floor-to-ceiling window, gazing down at the city cluster for a long time, before returning to the sofa to quietly play on her phone.

Fu Jue looked up for the first time after working diligently for fifteen minutes, while Tao Zhizhi was playing on her phone.

Half an hour later, Tao Zhizhi looked up for the second time and was playing on her phone.

An hour later, Tao Zhizhi looked up for the third time. She had stopped playing on her phone and was lost in thought.

Little did he know that Tao Zhizhi was daydreaming while playing a planting mini-game within the system.

Fu Jue sighed, shook his head slightly, closed the folder, walked to the sofa, and took her hand.

"Isn't it too boring?"

"I'll take you out to play."

"ah?!"

Tao Zhizhi was taken aback, and only realized that Fu Jue had taken her out of the hotel early after he led her into the elevator.

Wow, so being a CEO can be this capricious.

Secretary Gu was running back and forth, reporting the situation to Chairman Fu on one hand and organizing documents for him on the other.

Fu Linyue was in a good mood this time and accepted all of Fu Jue's work. He wanted to go downstairs to see the young lady, but Fu Jue sent him a message forbidding him from coming down.

[Ridiculous, who's really the boss here?!]

He reconsidered and stopped: [Never mind, I shouldn't scare the little girl.]

Fu Jue and Fu Linyue were released openly and legitimately.

"Fu Jue, isn't this a bit inappropriate?"

Tao Zhizhi tugged at his sleeve, worried that he wouldn't be able to establish authority in the company.
