Seduce her
The car was filled with the smell of alcohol. Zhuang Yu'an was sitting in the passenger seat, and the two ladies were sitting in the back seat.
The warm air from the air conditioner raised her body temperature, but it also made the silence even more stagnant. Zhuang Jinghao cleared his throat and said, "It's past 11 o'clock... Xiaoxiao, why don't you stay at my house tonight?"
Zuo Xiao hesitated. She lived in a remote area. Even if the Zhuang brothers and sisters dropped her off, they would have to go home in the middle of the night. She felt bad about it. However, Zhuang Yu'an's strange behavior tonight made it difficult for her to stay at someone else's house.
After hesitating for a moment, he replied, "I won't go."
Zhuang Jing was not giving up and whispered in her ear, "I feel so confused about me and Peng Lei... If you don't help me figure it out, I won't be able to sleep tonight..." After that, she took her arm and shook it, humming to herself, and continued to act coquettishly.
As a result, Zuo Xiao surrendered and returned home with the brother and sister.
"Towels and toiletries are ready, and clothes are ready for you to wear. They are all in the guest bedroom on the first floor."
Zhuang Yu'an's eyes, drunk, were blazing as he stared at her. In Zuo Xiao's memory, this guy's gaze had never been as bold and passionate as it was tonight, practically impudent. But aside from putting a scarf on her without permission in the parking lot, his actions tonight were impeccable.
Suddenly, an absurd thought flashed through my mind:
Is this piece of wood... teasing her?
Come to think of it, Zhuang Yu'an hasn't been quite right these past two days. First, last night, he flaunted his physique in the hot springs. Then, today, he treated her to dinner and went to the bar with her, insisting on sitting next to her. On the dance floor, he whispered to her, asking her to teach him how to dance, and then he snatched her drink from her, putting on some inexplicable, heart-wrenching apology scene...
Putting all these things together, it's like a peacock spreading its tail! It's a naked seduction!
It was almost one in the morning when Zuo Xiao walked into Zhuang Jinghao's bedroom, only to find him fast asleep, tucked under the covers. He'd asked her for advice, only to fall asleep the moment he touched the pillow?
She closed the door gently and returned to the bedroom on the first floor.
She had stayed in this 20-plus square meter room more than once. It wasn't much, just a 1.6-meter-wide bed, a three-door wardrobe, and a desk by the window. There were two nightstands on either side of the bed, one of which held a light orange flower-bud-shaped table lamp.
After turning off the desk lamp, the room fell into darkness.
After an unknown amount of time, she felt a slight sound coming from the door, followed by the creaking of bare feet on the wooden floor.
She was about to get up to check when suddenly a gust of black wind came and the mattress suddenly sank.
The man's breath filled her nostrils domineeringly. She suddenly understood and wanted to shout, but her throat seemed to be blocked.
"sorry……"
The man placed his hands on either side of her, staring her down. Her vision was dim, and she couldn't see his face clearly, only the frightening light flickering in his abyssal black eyes.
As her eyes adjusted to the darkness, she gradually saw his face clearly. His features were deep and his eyes were full of tenderness...
An increasingly powerful force tugged at her consciousness until it reached a critical point. Suddenly, the world turned upside down, and she fell weightlessly into another world.
She heard a knock on the door, followed by a familiar female voice: "Wake up! Time for breakfast!"
She felt exhausted and replied in a hoarse voice, "I'm up." Then she heard someone on the other side of the door say, "Hurry up, we're waiting for you!"
Zuo Xiao sat up in a daze and was about to lift the quilt when he suddenly stopped.
The wetness and slipperiness of a certain part of my body was so clear and distinct. It was a familiar feeling, but it felt terrible right now.
Pretty bad...
What's worse is that her brain quickly retrieved the remaining fragments of memory, which made her understand the reason for her bad reaction. Then her vision went black and she covered her face in disbelief.
She stayed in the bathroom for nearly half an hour before coming out, still wearing Zhuang Jinghao's home clothes. They were soft and light pink, with a big strawberry on her chest.
When she arrived at the restaurant, Zhuang Jinghao was sitting at the table eating fruit yogurt. Seeing her coming, he put down his spoon and said with a smile: "You are too slow. I was in a hurry to go to work, so I didn't wait for you!"
Zuo Xiao sat down opposite her silently, "Eat yours, don't worry about me."
Today's breakfast was surprisingly rich and varied, but she had no appetite. Thinking about last night's dream and the possibility of running into the man in the dream at any time, she felt even more anxious and could hardly sit still.
"What's wrong? Lost your appetite?"
"Yeah, I feel a little dizzy and can't eat much."
"Is that so... Then wait until you're hungry before eating? Then you can catch up on some sleep and don't have to go out with us."
Just then, footsteps were heard on the stairs. Zuo Xiao's heart tightened, and he quickly stood up and said, "Okay, then I'll go back and lie down for a while."
"Wait a minute!" Zhuang Jinghao grabbed her arm with both hands. "You...why don't you eat something first? Otherwise, you won't be able to sleep for long and will wake up hungry..."
"I don't want to eat anymore." Zuo Xiao tried to pull his hand away, but it wouldn't work. He turned to look at Zhuang Jinghao, but she refused to let go, her eyes evading him. Suddenly, a thought occurred to him: Is this guy stalling for time?
She frowned and was about to ask, but Zhuang Jinghao suddenly let go of her hand and said with a bright smile, "Then go ahead."
Zuo Xiao thought to herself that this was not going to be good. Sure enough, the moment she turned around, the person she had been avoiding suddenly appeared in her sight.
She suddenly froze in place, unable to move.
Zhuang Yu'an was wearing a perfectly tailored, high-quality three-piece suit, a black coat dangling from his elbows, and his legs, clad in trousers, seemed unnaturally long. She had never seen him so stylish, a domineering CEO straight out of a comic book, ready to pin her against the wall. "Woman, why are you looking at me like that?"
"Good morning." The boss spoke in a dog-licking manner. "Did you sleep well last night?"
Sleep... Zuo Xiao’s eyes went dark and he wanted to say, "Oh no, this is so bad!"
"She said she felt a little dizzy and wanted to sleep a little longer." Zhuang Jinghao spoke for her from behind.
His deep black eyes brimming with genuine concern, the domineering Zhuang Yu'an took two steps forward, leaned slightly, and examined her face carefully. "Your face is a little red, maybe it's a hangover reaction. I'll make some hangover tea, wait a moment."
After saying that, he hurriedly put down his coat and walked towards the kitchen in this high-end suit.
"No need, I'm going to sleep." Zuo Xiao said this and fled into the bedroom without looking back.
She sat on the edge of the bed in a daze, and it took her a while to react:
Set up! She was set up!
First of all, Zhuang Yu'an was definitely trying to seduce her! The gentle trap, the beauty/temptation, and the unexpected deviant behavior were all his hooks!
Secondly, there was no doubt that Zhuang Jing was cooperating with him. When did this start? Last night's invitation? The hot spring trip the day before yesterday? Or even before that?
The brother and sister teamed up to set her up, their intentions clear: they were just waiting for her to return to being single and wanted to get her into Zhuang Yu'an's clutches. The boy had been secretly in love with her for six months, and now he could no longer sit still.
Well, it can’t be said that they have bad intentions... But, aren’t they treating her like a fool by plotting against her like this?
Humph, she doesn't want to be the one being played with or hooked.
She fell on her back on the bed and heard a knock on the door. Zhuang Yu'an said outside, "Jinghao and I are going to work. The hangover tea is on the dining table. It's best to drink it while it's hot."
"Oh, okay." She replied lazily.
Listening carefully, he could hear the footsteps gradually fading away. Zuo Xiao turned over, his eyes accidentally falling on the light orange flower bud table lamp beside the bed.
In the dream, the lamp was lit by a man. The warm yellow light illuminated his handsome face and naked upper body.
Amidst the disordered heartbeat, he grabbed her hand and placed it on his heart.
The muscles beneath her hands felt firm and sculpted, drawing her in like a magnet, making her linger. Her fingertips brushed against the dogwood fruit, sending ripples of shivers down her spine. She chuckled, her palm moving slowly downward, caressing the defined abdominal muscles...
Damn! What are you reminiscing about in broad daylight?! Zuo Xiao turned over and buried his face in the quilt.
In the car, Zhuang Jinghao stared at his brother.
"Brother, you look so handsome today!" She praised him again, "If you were to act in a short skit about a domineering CEO, it would definitely go viral!"
Zhuang Yu'an's lips curled up slightly, and his smile was a little unnatural: "Do you think...will she like it?"
"Of course!" Zhuang Jinghao said without hesitation, "She blushed when I saw her just now! Brother, Zuo Xiao likes this type of you!"
Zhuang Yu'an pursed his lips, unable to suppress the smile.
In the office, Chen Quan stared at him up and down, exclaiming in admiration.
"Boss, is our company considering entering the entertainment industry? You yourself are the mainstay!"
Zhuang Yu'an shook his head and took off his black coat. Chen Quan took it and hung it on the hanger. "Mr. Yan, please come downstairs. We can start the meeting at 9:30. The materials needed for the meeting have been prepared for you."
At this time, there was a knock on the door, and after a moment, someone pushed the door open and walked in.
"Hey!" Luffy raised his eyebrows and glanced at him twice, "What day is it today?"
Chen Quan smiled softly. Seeing that his boss didn't say anything, he boldly said, "It's the day of the meeting with President Yan."
"Those who knew were in a meeting. Those who didn't thought Mr. Zhuang was going to give a speech at the United Nations." Luffy leaned casually against the door frame, a coffee cup in one hand and the other in his pocket. "Just now in the tea room, I heard several girls talking about how Mr. Zhuang looked so handsome today."
Zhuang Yu'an was about to speak when his eyes suddenly became stern. He raised his hand and tapped the side of his neck.
Despite the obvious scratches on his neck, Luffy didn't feel uncomfortable at all and smiled, "It was a cat scratch."
Five minutes later, the meeting began on time. Yan Qing brought three subordinates with him, while Zhuang Yu'an had more people on his side. Besides him and Lu Fei, there were also heads of the marketing department, supply chain department, overseas business department, and other departments.
Pet Planet planned to build a factory in Canada, with an estimated investment of nearly 200 million yuan. Upon hearing about this, Yan Qing offered to invest, offering a compelling reason: her father had invested in numerous veterinary hospitals and pet stores in North America, with over a hundred in Canada alone. Furthermore, her uncle owned a veterinary pharmaceutical company in Vancouver, Canada, and had extensive local connections. Zhuang Yu'an had previously met with her individually twice, and this meeting was intended to further discuss the cooperation framework and key details.
The meeting lasted over two hours, and the framework for the cooperation was basically finalized. However, Zhuang Yu'an left some room for maneuver, saying that the cooperation plan still needed to be approved by the board of directors. Near the end of the meeting, Yan Qing added, "I personally agree with Pet Planet's product-oriented approach, and I have great trust in Mr. Zhuang's character and ability. I look forward to our sincere cooperation."
When she said, "I have great confidence in Mr. Zhuang's character and ability," Luffy gave her a teasing look.
In Zhuang Yu'an's view, Yan Qing's statement was indeed unnecessary. Mutual recognition was a prerequisite for both parties to engage in in-depth discussions, even delving into the details of cooperation. Moreover, Yan Qing had already expressed a similar attitude at the beginning of the meeting.
At the same time, gossip was going on outside the meeting room.
Zhuang Jinghao was caught in the tea room. Zhan Jiaxin pulled her to a deserted corner and asked in a low voice, "Is there something going on between Yan Qing and our President Zhuang?"
Zhuang Jinghao was startled and suddenly remembered that she had gossiped with Zhan Jiaxin about her brother and Yan Qing, but that was several months ago. At that time, she didn't know that her brother had a crush on Zuo Xiao!
"Don't talk nonsense!" She sternly denied the rumor, but Zhan Jiaxin didn't buy it: "It's all over the company! It's said that President Zhuang and President Yan have feelings for each other, and some say they're already together."
"Huh?" Zhuang Jing was surprised. "Is everyone spreading this?"
"Yes!" Zhan Jiaxin said confidently, "Don't you think she has been coming to our company quite frequently recently? And President Zhuang dressed so formally today for the first time ever. When he showed up this morning, everyone was stunned. They were all guessing who he was going to meet today, and then Yan Qing showed up..."
"Misunderstanding! This is a misunderstanding!" Zhuang Jing was so excited that she forgot to lower her voice, causing several colleagues to look towards their little corner.
Zhan Jiaxin hugged her arm and said, "Are you so sure? Then give me a spoiler... Mr. Zhuang dressed so handsomely, if it's not for Yan Qing, then who is it for?"
Zhuang Jinghao's mind flashed to Zuo Xiao's face. Thinking of the image of her brother and Zuo Xiao matching in the hot spring pool, and the fact that only she knew this secret, she couldn't help but feel incredibly proud. She shook off Zhan Jiaxin's hand and said with a smile, "Don't ask! Children shouldn't know too much!"
As soon as they finished speaking, the person they were gossiping about appeared in their sight.
Yan Qing walked in front, Zhuang Yu'an was half a step away from her side, and the others followed behind in a mighty manner.
Zhan Jiaxin whispered in her ear: "They are quite a match!"
Are they a good match? Zhuang Jinghao looked at them carefully.
Yan Qing wore a pink and orange tweed suit, accessorized with understated, elegant earrings and a necklace. From head to toe, she exuded the elegance and grace of a young lady. But standing next to her tall, long-legged, and imposing brother, she looked a bit like a little bird, a perfect match. However...
She couldn't help but hum, thinking: That's because no one has seen Brother and Zuo Xiao together. That's what we call a perfect match! A perfect match!
Soon it was time for dinner, and the two of them walked towards the door together and ran into Luffy.
Zhuang Jing had no time to hide from him, but he offered to treat her to a meal. She pleaded not to be hungry, so he suggested they go downstairs for a drink. Well, it was clear he wanted to talk to her about something!
The two of them arrived at the coffee shop downstairs, and Zhuang Jinghao asked, "Brother Lu Fei, why didn't you have dinner with Mr. Yan and my brother?"
He raised his eyebrows and smiled, "Who asked President Yan to specifically ask to eat alone with your brother?"
"Ah?" Zhuang Jing was so confused, thinking, could it be that Yan Qing really likes her brother?
Luffy obviously thought the same thing as her. "Your brother and Yan Qing have been getting pretty close lately..." He asked mischievously, "Is there something going on?"
Zhuang Jinghao glared and was about to deny it when a thought suddenly flashed through his mind:
Wouldn't it be better to let Luffy misunderstand what's going on between his brother and Yan Qing?
Her tangled expression only deepened Luffy's suspicion. He continued to probe with a burning gaze: "Is there really something?"
"No, no..." she stammered, "I haven't heard of it..."
"No?" Luffy teased, "Then why is he trying so hard to open his screen today? Tsk tsk, I've known him for so many years, and this is the first time I've seen him dressed like this. So showy."
Zhuang Jinghao scratched his head and decided to change the subject, so he asked the question he had wanted to ask for a long time.
"Brother Luffy, have you been in love recently?"
