Especially this morning, Leng Linli was unusually wearing glasses, the gold-rimmed kind...
Dressed in a suit and tie, wearing gold-rimmed glasses.
Serious and reserved, aloof and dignified.
Well-dressed, a refined scoundrel.
He's undeniably handsome and charismatic, but just one glance at his cold, sinister eyes is enough to instantly intimidate you before you even have a chance to swoon over him. The oppressive aura of a domineering CEO is immediately palpable...
Su Rao felt a chill run down her spine, her heart sinking. Who would dare to marry their CEO after this?
Not daring to let her mind wander any further, Su Rao immediately straightened her back and greeted him respectfully, "Good morning, President!"
Leng Linli glanced at Su Rao indifferently, his eyes seemingly covered with frost, cold and sharp.
That look... it was as if Su Rao had done something wrong again... but it was so early in the morning, Su Rao hadn't even had time to do anything yet... was it because she hadn't done anything that her CEO was angry?
Su Rao thought to herself at that moment: Mr. President, first of all, I didn't provoke you... secondly, I didn't provoke you... and finally, I didn't provoke you...
Su Rao shrank her neck, feeling a chill in her heart. However, there were only Yan Zhi and her in the president's office. The others had not arrived yet. She had clearly arrived early, but instead of praising her as an outstanding employee, the president had given her a warning look.
After thoroughly reflecting on her actions, Su Rao was still unaware that this was purely accidental!
His cold, sharp gaze swept past Su Rao and landed on Yan Zhi, his expression indifferent.
Noticing Leng's stern gaze, Yan Zhi put down her soy milk and greeted him politely, "Good morning, Mr. Leng."
Yan Zhi's obedient and gentle appearance made Leng Linli's brows furrow tightly.
"Bring in a cup of coffee." Leng Linli said coldly, then walked into the president's office with a gloomy expression. It was unclear whether he was referring to Yan Zhi or Su Rao when he said "bring in a cup of coffee."
Watching Leng Linli's figure disappear, Su Rao finally relaxed and whispered to Yan Zhi, "What's wrong with the president today? His face is all about keeping strangers away... no, even acquaintances should stay away."
Yan Zhi shook her head: "I don't know..."
Su Rao looked at the tightly closed door to the president's office and couldn't help but feel a chill. She certainly didn't dare to bring the coffee in; she wasn't about to live any longer.
After making the coffee, Su Rao approached Yan Zhi with ill intent, mimicking Lin Xi's sycophantic manner: "Zhizhi..."
She had only managed to utter two words when Su Rao couldn't bring herself to say anything more. Just pushing Yan Zhi inside like that... seemed really disloyal.
However, if Su Rao were to go in on her own, she would most likely never return, and her career as a secretary at Leng's Corporation might come to an end.
Su Rao looked conflicted, distressed, and pained, pushing the coffee back and forth between Yan Zhi and herself.
Yan Zhi watched Su Rao's rich array of expressions with amusement. In just ten seconds, she had already switched between five or six different expressions. Seeing Su Rao's final expression of heroic sacrifice, Yan Zhi had already guessed what Su Rao wanted to say.
Well, considering that Su Rao hesitated and struggled for so long before finally deciding to push her out, Yan Zhi kindly took the coffee and smiled gently: "I'll go."
Su Rao was moved to tears and patted her chest to promise, "I can't thank you enough, Zhizhi... From now on, your business is my business, and I will be good to you for the rest of my life."
Hmm... Yan Zhi wasn't sure if she should say this, but she couldn't help but hear the feeling that this guy was just making empty promises.
Yan Zhi, carrying a cup of coffee, knocked on the CEO's office door. A cold, gloomy voice came from inside: "Come in."
"President Leng," Yan Zhi greeted politely.
Upon hearing this, Leng Linli slightly raised his eyes, glanced at Yan Zhi, and did not reach out to take the coffee, only giving a curt "hmm".
Yan Zhi didn't mind; she had gotten used to this cold face over the past month.
She gently placed the coffee on the table and prepared to leave.
Leng Linli glanced at the coffee in front of him, then swept his gaze over Yan Zhi's calm and composed face. That perpetually gentle and unyielding demeanor made the lines of Leng Linli's jawline grow even colder and more taut.
A surge of anger suddenly rose within him: "You also brought me coffee yesterday."
Yan Zhi stopped in her tracks, her eyes showing surprise: "President Leng, is there a problem?"
"When you first joined the company, you said that drinking coffee often is bad for your stomach, but you brought me coffee for two days in a row. Was that on purpose?" As he said this, Leng Linli's brows furrowed, and his eyes became even colder and angrier. Did Yan Zhi no longer care about his health or not?
Perhaps Yan Zhi's previous concern was just an act... This thought made Leng Linli even more unhappy.
A dull pain shot through his brow. Leng Linli took off his gold-rimmed glasses and pinched the bridge of his nose in frustration.
Yan Zhi looked at the gold-rimmed glasses that Leng Linli had tossed aside, feeling both confused and impressed.
Wasn't it the coffee Leng Linli ordered that Yan Zhi brought in?
Yan Zhi suddenly realized that men can be more unreasonable than women sometimes.
Moreover, did she actually say those things?
Yan Zhi thought about it briefly, and thought, maybe, possibly, probably, she really did say that.
However, Yan Zhi must have meant that he often drank coffee on an empty stomach, which was bad for his stomach, and the reason she added that comment was because of Fei Fei.
The doctor said that drinking coffee on an empty stomach and other unhealthy lifestyle habits are bad for your health. In the past, Fei Fei often stayed up late coding and relied on coffee to keep going, and in the end... she passed away.
Yan Zhi's eyes darkened for a moment, but when she looked up again, they had returned to normal. However, she met Leng's cold, sharp, and deep gaze. She slowly curled her lips and revealed a faint smile: "These are just ignorant and shallow words. President Leng shouldn't take them to heart, right?"
Upon hearing this, Leng Linli became even more certain that Yan Zhi didn't care about his life or death. He stared intently at Yan Zhi with his suppressed anger, wishing he could tear her serene smile apart.
Leng Linli suddenly realized that the Yan Zhi he knew before was a fake.
"Heh..." Leng Linli chuckled softly, his laughter extremely mocking and full of disdain.
Yan Zhi tried hard to ignore the disdain in Leng Linli's eyes, telling herself not to care, as if that would truly calm her heart. Yan Zhi casually said, "If Mr. Leng has no other needs, I'll go out first."
Leng Linli's face grew increasingly gloomy as he stared into Yan Zhi's eyes, trying to see through her soul to see if it was as calm as her face.
Yan Zhi met the cold, stern gaze with composure, without flinching.
His cold, sharp eyes darkened, and he suddenly hooked his arm around Yan Zhi's waist, tightening his grip slightly.
Caught off guard, Yan Zhi lost her balance from Leng Linli's sudden force and fell hard onto his lap.
A wicked, cold smile curled at the corner of Leng Linli's lips as he looked at Yan Zhi, his gaze filled with a strong sense of offense, his tone... rather ambiguous: "Anything you need, is fine with me?"
As they spoke, Yan Zhi noticed Leng Linli's physical reaction, and then realized what was happening. A moment of panic flashed in Yan Zhi's eyes.
They only said a few words... this:
▼???▼
Yan Zhi tried to jump off Leng Linli's lap, but after several struggles, she was unable to break free from his embrace. The difference in strength between men and women was too great, so she decided to let Leng Linli hold her captive in his arms.
Leng Linli lowered his head and bit Yan Zhi's fair neck, his voice somewhat hoarse and dreamy: "Mrs. Leng, if you say that, it's easy for me to misunderstand."
