Is Chapter 55 exciting?

At noon, he was signing several batches of reports when he suddenly heard a sound coming from the glass wall. He glanced at it but didn't think much of it, and then there were two more sounds.

Now I realize it was probably something the neighbors did on purpose.

Lu Ming stood up, walked over, and drew the curtains. He saw a pair of big, bright eyes blinking at him, and he found it a little funny. He was about to smile, but he suppressed it.

Wen Chu remained silent and tapped again in the same way, once slowly and twice quickly. Lu Ming frowned and drew a question mark on the glass.

Wen Chu then smiled and pointed to the doorway with her thumb, mouthing, "Eat—dinner."

Lu Ming looked speechless, opened the door and walked out. Seeing this, Wen Chu also pushed open the office door and looked at the man walking towards her. She said, "Aren't you hungry? It's already 12:30! I'm starving."

"Do I have to eat with you too?"

"We're a couple deeply in love in public right now, so of course you have to have dinner with me."

Lu Ming walked to her side, his tone tinged with helplessness: "I don't want to make such a high-profile thing."

“But your dad won’t allow it.” Wen Chu shrugged, indicating what could she do.

Thinking of Lu Mingxiao, Lu Ming could only agree: "Let's go, what do you want to eat?"

Where do you usually eat?

"Company cafeteria."

"Then let's go to the cafeteria. I want to see if Baiyue is mistreating its employees!"

In reality, Baiyue Canteen is quite good. The food is affordable and tastes good, which is one of the main reasons why Wen Chu decided to work there until the end as soon as she arrived.

Only those who are both hard-working employees and kitchen disasters know the true value of a company cafeteria offering delicious and cheap food.

They walked into the elevator side by side. As the numbers slowly descended, Wen Chu, unable to contain herself, started teasing him again. She leaned close to Lu Ming's face to look at him. "Have your little red rashes gone? Are they still itchy? Your face seems completely healed."

"I didn't pay much attention," Lu Ming replied.

"Didn't notice? How could you not notice? Let me check." A sly glint flashed in Wen Chu's eyes as she reached out to tug at Lu Ming's neatly tied tie. Lu Ming frowned and grabbed her wrist. "Stop fooling around."

Wen Chu, still harboring wicked intentions, grabbed one hand and immediately used the other to pinch Lu Ming's chin, turning his face to face and saying, "Let me take another look at your face. Oh dear, your lips seem unusually red today, are you still having an allergic reaction?" Her eyes darted around his face, looking at his long eyelashes, his straight nose, and because of her, his lips were pursed into a thin line.

It has to be said, this guy inherited really well. She didn't know what Lu Ming's mother looked like, but she had met Chairman Lu and could tell that he must have been a handsome man when he was young.

As she was thinking, Lu Ming grabbed both of her hands, painfully locking them behind her back. He walked towards her, pinning her against the elevator wall, and asked with his eyes lowered, "Do you think it's exciting to have something happen in the company elevator?"

The overwhelming pressure, mixed with the man's pleasant fragrance and alluring voice, made Wen Chu's face flush.

Her heart pounded, but she raised her chin and arched her eyebrows, showing no sign of weakness: "Yeah, don't you think so? Why are you so close to me? Trying to kiss me?"

The red number jumps to the tenth floor.

Yang Binshi and Jiang Xing were standing outside the elevator on the third floor, waiting to go down for dinner. Yang Binshi's worried expression remained: "Jiang Xing, are you really not going to care about that competition at all? I think we still need to make backup plans. If Miss Wen can't make it, you should quickly fill in."

Jiang Xing said calmly, "President Lu's meaning is very clear: I trust the people he trusts. I'll focus on optimizing that algorithm for now. If we win the competition, we can compete for the Mingjin project again."

Inside the elevator, Lu Ming stared at Wen Chu without saying a word, seemingly unable to do anything about her.

Wen Chu gradually revealed a victorious smile, knowing he wouldn't dare do anything. This man is very concerned about his reputation; if his subordinates saw this, he would be too ashamed to face anyone.

They were extremely close, their posture intimate. Lu Ming gazed at the girl's face and lips so close to his own, his Adam's apple bobbing.

Seeing that the person didn't react, Wen Chu wondered if she was affected by a sudden surge of hormones. On a whim, she stood up and kissed the person on the lips. After the kiss, her heart was pounding as she provocatively said, "If you won't kiss me, then I will."

A hint of surprise flashed across Lu Ming's eyes, but he quickly calmed down. "You started this." After saying that, he twisted Wen Chu's hands behind her back even tighter and lowered his head to kiss her without saying another word.

He pecked and nibbled at her lips, gently changing direction and position. With each nibble, Wen Chu felt a jolt of electricity in her waist. This kiss was intensely provocative and aggressive, extremely ambiguous.

"Hey... um." Wen Chu's face suddenly became very hot. She had just found an opening to speak, but the other party had anticipated this and blocked her again. Her hands were also tightly restrained behind her back, and she couldn't break free no matter how hard she tried.

She glanced at the red numbers flashing in the upper right corner. The elevator had reached the fifth floor and seemed to be slowing down, which meant that someone was likely about to get on the elevator.

Wen Chu was truly panicked now, her heart pounding wildly. She had been so obedient for so many years, never doing anything so outrageous. She tried to speak, but a sharp pain shot through her lips. Lu Ming opened his eyes and looked at her, seemingly displeased that she was shaking her head and not focusing on the kiss.

"Someone... um... is coming in..." Wen Chu reminded him anxiously but unclearly.

Unfortunately, Lu Ming remained unmoved and continued to kiss her. Wen Chu was on the verge of tears and had no choice but to slide to her knees and admit her mistake: "I...uh, I was wrong! I was wrong!"

She pinched his hand hard to remind him, and finally, in her desperation, bit his lip. Lu Ming winced in pain, then finally released her lips, breathing slightly heavily, and asked in a low voice, "Was it exciting?"

Wen Chu didn't even bother to reply to him; all she wanted to do was kick him and push him to the opposite side of her so that the employees who were about to come in wouldn't notice.

Please, she doesn't want to be the subject of her employees' gossip after dinner!

I will never act rashly and provoke people again!

This guy's gone mad! He's not the same Lu Ming anymore! He's capable of anything!

The elevator slowly stopped on the third floor. Just as the doors were about to open, Wen Chu wanted to distance herself from the person, but unexpectedly, Lu Ming suddenly pulled out a hand, mimicking her flirtatious manner, pinched her chin, turned her face back, and pried open her teeth again without saying a word, kissing her even more deeply than before.

Wen Chu's eyes widened in shock.

!!!

? ? ?

Are you trying to kill me? Again, again?!

Wen Chuxin felt utterly cold. She clenched her hands, closed her eyes tightly, and waited for the scene of her social demise to unfold.

Lu Ming took in her reaction, kissed her while curving his lips, raised his left hand and pressed the emergency stop button on the elevator.

The entire elevator came to a standstill.

He continued kissing her slowly for a while before letting go.

Not hearing the expected door opening, Wen Chu reopened her eyes and looked at the tightly closed elevator door. Her heart, which had been hanging in suspense, finally began to calm down.

Lu Ming loosened his grip on her hand and asked leisurely, "Want to try again?"

"You...you, you, you!" Wen Chu pushed him away, too angry to speak.

"Lu Ming, you dare to play me?"

Lu Ming was pushed back two steps by her and leaned against the opposite elevator wall: "Excuse me, did I start this?"

"Then you're a hooligan too!"

Lu Ming crossed his arms, showing no remorse. He lowered his eyes, suppressing the lust that had risen in them after the kiss, and slowly said, "I told you, I'm a businessman, and I don't like being taken advantage of."

Wen Chu wiped her mouth in embarrassment and annoyance, then tilted her head in disbelief and glared at him.

His tone and demeanor are becoming more and more like the Great Demon, so much so that Wen Chu now wants to rush up and punch and kick him.

Wen Chu swallowed her anger in frustration and turned to study the buttons on the elevator wall. "How do I keep it moving? I need to go down for dinner! Is this how you press the emergency stop button? What if something happens?"

Yang Binshi glanced at the elevator next to him, and was just about to wonder why the door hadn't opened for so long when the elevator in front of him opened. So he didn't want to meddle and went in with Jiang Xing.

"Why are you glaring at me? Didn't someone just say it was exciting? I'm just going along with you, shouldn't you thank me? Why are you chickening out now?" Lu Ming leaned against the elevator wall and said sarcastically.

He had to teach her a lesson, to show her what restraint really meant.

"Who chickened out? Who chickened out?" Wen Chu pointed to the surveillance camera diagonally above her: "You turned off the elevator, but you can't turn it off. I don't want to be broadcasting this live, or I'll make you pay!"

Lu Ming scoffed, "You need to understand, this is a technology company. The surveillance is all automated in real time. No one is watching the cameras 24/7. Also, you need my permission to access the surveillance records of high-rise elevator usage."

Wen Chu: "...Is that so?"

“Pressing the emergency stop button manually won’t even trigger an alarm, so you can rest assured.” Lu Ming straightened up, moved closer to her again, and braced his hand against the wall next to her, asking, “Now, how do you plan to make me pay?”

Wen Chu tugged at the corner of her mouth, then immediately turned her head away to avoid eye contact, saying weakly, "I think... you're already quite pretty. Maybe you shouldn't take it..."

Lu Ming gave a mocking chuckle, finally ending his teasing, and reached out to the side to press the elevator reset button.

Wen Chu secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

Even after they reached the first floor, Wen Chu's heart was still pounding, and her blood pressure hadn't dropped. This naive girl had never experienced anything so thrilling. She had to learn dating techniques on the fly.

As she walked beside Lu Ming, she felt increasingly pressured. If, as she had previously speculated, the higher her favorability rating, the more normal Lu Ming's behavior would resemble, then her skill level might not be higher than his.

She scratched her head, her face full of frustration, and glanced irritably at Lu Ming, who was calmly greeting passing employees.

While eating, she received several text messages from the couple she had met at the amusement park that day, who sent her some photos they had taken of them.

Post-processing was also done, removing all the color tones and imperfections, making the photos look beautiful. Wen Chu was flattered and quickly put down her chopsticks to send several thank-you messages.

Lu Ming took a bite of food, looked up at the woman's happy expression, hesitated for a moment, but couldn't help asking, "Who are you talking to, you're so excited?"

If it were Qi Siyan, you would be dead.

Wen Chu smiled and zoomed in on the photo, placing it in front of the other person: "Ta-da~ Isn't it a great photo? This lady even photoshopped it for us, she's so nice!"

The phone showed a picture of Wen Chu smiling and making a peace sign while holding his arm. Lu Ming stared blankly at the photo of them, his suppressed emotions surging up again. He hurriedly lowered his head and hummed in response.

I wanted to send a copy, but I was too embarrassed to say it.

Fortunately, Wen Chu said, "I'll wash it and give you a copy. You'll have to accept it whether you want to or not!"
