Jiang Hua had almost finished sleeping when she woke up groggily, rubbing her eyes, which were too heavy to open from being closed for so long.
"Men are most handsome when they're serious, it's so true," she couldn't help but exclaim.
Suddenly, something occurred to her, and a wicked smile crescent-shaped at the corner of her eye. She looked incredibly cute. She gently lifted the covers, deliberately not wearing shoes, and tiptoed quietly behind the person.
Gu Yiming was working diligently, feeling slightly tired. He rubbed his temples with his well-defined fingers, and out of the corner of his eye, he noticed Jiang Hua sneaking closer. He continued working intently, seemingly unaware that someone was approaching from behind.
Seeing her wicked scheme about to succeed, Jiang Hua's smile grew even brighter as she held her breath. She reached out and covered Gu Yiming's eyes, preventing him from escaping. Suddenly, Gu Yiming's vision went dark. His expression was one of helplessness, but also one of doting affection. Hua Hua was truly mischievous, but what could he do? She was his woman. His woman deserved to be pampered.
He gently pried Jiang Hua's hands off his eyes, then pulled her hands away. Jiang Hua lost her balance and unexpectedly fell onto Gu Yiming's lap. Seeing this, Gu Yiming seized the opportunity to wrap his arms around her slender waist and pull her into his embrace. Fortunately, the office chair was large enough to support their combined weight.
Jiang Hua instinctively wrapped her arms around Gu Yiming's neck, and Gu Yiming gave her a wicked smile. Jiang Hua's face flushed red, and she quickly released her grip on his neck, stammering, "You, you should put me down right away."
"Oh? What if I don't let go?" Gu Yiming suddenly became interested and deliberately teased her. He still held Jiang Hua tightly and gently pinched her waist.
"Gu Yiming, you scoundrel, put me down right now!" Jiang Hua's body trembled as someone pinched her waist, her face flushed even more, and she struggled to break free from Gu Yiming's embrace.
Gu Yiming held the person tightly, refusing to let go, as if he were holding a priceless treasure. Yes, in Jiang Hua's eyes, any treasure was precious. "I'm only a rogue to you, Hua Hua," Gu Yiming whispered close to the person's ear.
Jiang Hua felt a surge of happiness welling up inside her, but she never expected Gu Yiming to be so shameless. She deliberately turned her head away, refusing to look at Gu Yiming, and said, "You said it yourself. If you did that to anyone else, I...I..."
Looking at Jiang Hua's shy expression, Gu Yiming couldn't help but find it adorable. He affectionately pinched Jiang Hua's nose and jokingly asked her, "What would you do if I were a hooligan to other people?"
Jiang Hua's face flushed, and she deliberately feigned anger, punching Gu Yiming's chest with her fist, but with almost no force—to Gu Yiming, it was like a tickle. Gu Yiming played along, frowning as if Jiang Hua had hurt him. Seeing him frown, Jiang Hua naively thought he was in pain and asked anxiously, "Gu Yiming, are you alright? Did I hurt you?"
Gu Yiming grasped the soft, boneless hand in his palm, feeling its warmth. At that moment, he felt a surge of happiness filling his heart.
Jiang Hua suddenly realized she had been tricked. She glared at him angrily and tried to break free from his grasp, but failed several times. She gave up and stopped struggling.
"Gurgle~"
Gu Yiming suddenly heard a voice, and saw Jiang Hua blush and stick out her tongue shyly: "Uh, I'm hungry."
Gu Yiming affectionately ruffled Jiang Hua's hair, picked her up from the office chair, and said to Jiang Hua, "I'll take you to eat. What do you want to eat?"
Jiang Hua thought about how embarrassing it would be to be carried out of the company with so many people around, so she broke free from Gu Yiming's embrace again. Gu Yiming seemed to understand what she was thinking and cooperated by letting go of her.
She got off Gu Yiming, straightened her clothes, and calmly walked out of the desk. Gu Yiming followed and took her hand. It wasn't yet closing time, but many people still saw the president holding Jiang Hua's hand. Gu Yiming gripped Jiang Hua's hand tightly, seemingly declaring his ownership and telling others that Jiang Hua was his woman.
As it grew darker, Jiang Hua followed Gu Yiming to the parking lot. Gu Yiming took the keys and unlocked the car. Feeling a bit bored, Jiang Hua walked over to look around.
Suddenly, a red figure appeared in the darkness. Headless and footless, it floated near the other cars, looking particularly eerie in the dark parking lot. Jiang Hua watched the red figure slowly drift towards her, jumped in fright, and screamed, "A ghost!"
Jiang Hua rushed to Gu Yiming's side. Seeing her flustered and terribly frightened appearance, Gu Yiming instinctively shielded her behind him: "What's wrong, Hua Hua?"
Jiang Hua was terrified. She hid behind Gu Yiming and pointed in the direction of the "ghost," saying, "Gu Yiming, there's a ghost over there, dressed in red, without a head or feet. It's so scary!"
Gu Yiming quickly patted Jiang Hua's shoulder gently to comfort her: "Huahua, don't be afraid, I'm here. Also, there are no ghosts in this world, don't believe in these things." Then he looked in the direction Jiang Hua was pointing and sure enough, he saw ghosts floating in the darkness.
He strode towards the ghost, but Jiang Hua quickly grabbed his clothes, saying, "Don't go, I'm scared."
Gu Yiming ruffled the other person's hair: "I'll be fine. That's definitely not a ghost. I'll go check it out for you. You wait here for me."
Gu Yiming walked up to the ghost and boldly grabbed its red clothes. A piece of red cloth fell off, clearly just a piece of cloth, not the ghost itself. Gu Yiming held the cloth up to Jiang Hua, waving it in front of her eyes and saying, "Huahua, look, this isn't a ghost, it's just a piece of cloth."
"That scared me to death! It was just a piece of red cloth." Jiang Hua breathed a sigh of relief and calmed down, placing her hand on her chest.
"You don't usually see these things in parking lots, someone must have deliberately tried to scare you," Gu Yiming said seriously, and made a phone call.
"Jinyu, go check the security cameras near the parking lot and see if someone is deliberately causing trouble."
"Yes, President," Jin Yu replied.
Then Gu Yiming drove Jiang Hua to a restaurant and chose a table. He secretly whispered a few words to the waiter, who looked at him with suspicion. The waiter placed a beautiful bouquet of roses on the table, and Jiang Hua looked at the roses, overjoyed.
Gu Yiming smirked and kept pouring wine into Jiang Hua's cup.
