Chapter 20 Is it you? My Legally Activist CEO?
Seeing his pale face, Ling Wei panicked. She subconsciously reached out to touch him, but then withdrew her hand, at a loss for what to do.
Just then, a soft, chilling voice came clearly from outside the door:
"Brother Jingxuan? Are you inside?"
It's Xu Ziqi!
You Jingxuan was still lying in bed, not yet recovered, when he saw Ling Wei looking around frantically like a startled rabbit, her gaze instantly locking onto the huge built-in wardrobe in the corner of the lounge.
Without any hesitation, she rushed over and flung open the cabinet door, seemingly intending to hide inside.
Xu Ziqi's voice grew closer and closer, accompanied by the muffled thud of her high heels on the carpet.
Ling Wei had already hidden herself most of the way inside, but then she caught a glimpse of You Jingxuan still curled up on the bed, clutching his groin, his forehead soaked with cold sweat.
...He absolutely cannot be seen in this state by anyone else.
So she returned to the bedside, and You Jingxuan felt a lightness in his body, followed by a dizzying sensation.
He was actually lifted up steadily in a perfect princess carry by this seemingly slender girl!
"You...!" You Jingxuan was so shocked that he forgot his pain until the other person tried to put him in the closet as well, at which point he began to struggle.
Are you kidding me!
This is his lounge, his territory!
Why does he have to hide away in the shadows?
Secretary Wang, standing outside the door, dutifully tried to stop them, saying, "Miss Xu, President You has instructed that outsiders are not allowed to enter..."
Xu Ziqi's voice remained gentle, "It's okay, let me in."
Contrary to her voice, her eyes were devoid of any smile, coldly fixed on the person who dared to obstruct her.
She's been having a lot of bad luck lately.
Yu Xingye no longer agrees to write songs for her. The song he wrote for her last TV series was nominated, and I heard that the music video is also about to be released.
Her current number of fans is also worrying; given her current popularity, the Best Actress award at the end of the year is out of the question.
She was plotting to find out who the MV's female lead was. Whether she dug up dirt on her or "created" dirt on her, she had to get rid of that shameless bitch!
Just then, a spy brought news: Brother Jingxuan actually carried a woman into his private lounge that afternoon and hasn't come out yet!
Xu Ziqi couldn't sit still any longer and immediately drove to Huayou Group.
Secretary Wang was stunned by that sinister gaze. Although he had heard people say that this Miss Xu had two faces, she had been quite polite to him because he was You Jingxuan's chief secretary. He never expected to see it for himself now.
When her patience ran out, she forcefully pushed Secretary Wang aside and placed her hand on the doorknob.
"Brother Jingxuan? I'm coming in?"
Ling Wei lunged into the wardrobe with lightning speed, her movements so sudden that she fell directly onto the struggling man, eliciting a groan of pain.
"Get down!" You Jingxuan roared in a low voice, suppressing his pain and frustration.
He absolutely refused to allow himself to be in such a sorry state, and he struggled to push her away and leave.
In a moment of panic, Ling Wei quickly covered his mouth with one hand, her palm pressed against his hot breath and tightly pursed lips.
The man was both shocked and furious. He grabbed her wrist, which was covering her mouth, and tried to pry it off.
Even with the "weakness buff," his 188cm physique and years of training still give him considerable strength.
Ling Wei's mind was completely focused on the commotion outside, and the sound of the doorknob turning could be clearly heard.
As the person beneath her tried to get up, Ling Wei's last thought snapped.
The hand covering her mouth instantly loosened, and in the darkness, she precisely caught the man's two large hands. Her slender yet powerful fingers forcefully slipped between his fingers without warning, interlocking tightly with his.
At the same time, slightly raise your upper body, and then use all your strength and weight to sit down hard!
Press him back down onto the bottom of the wardrobe.
"Ugh!" You Jingxuan was caught off guard, and what was worse, in her haste to stop him from speaking, she leaned down—
The wardrobe was pitch black, and You Jingxuan, his face completely covered, thought: "!!!"
His whole body tensed up instantly, and his ears were so hot they could fry an egg on them.
For the first time in my life, I experienced what it truly means to be "suffocated" and... a sensory explosion.
Outside the door, Xu Ziqi pushed it open.
She looked around the empty lounge, her face so gloomy it could drip water.
Her questioning of her secretary, laced with undisguised harshness and imperiousness, was a stark contrast to her usual sweet demeanor, and clearly echoed into the narrow, dark wardrobe.
Perhaps it was because he had just discovered another side of Xu Ziqi, or perhaps for some other reason, the man stopped resisting.
Ling Wei breathed a sigh of relief as she watched Xu Ziqi walk away angrily in her high heels.
The crisis is over.
Ling Wei felt as if all her strength had been drained away. She hurriedly loosened her grip on his fingers and tried frantically to get off him.
You Jingxuan finally regained his freedom to breathe, panting heavily with his chest heaving violently.
In the darkness, his eyes were practically spitting fire. Just as he was about to muster his strength to flip the person off him, the other person swayed and softly fell back into his arms.
Outside the door, Secretary Wang saw off Xu Ziqi, whose face was ashen, and finally felt relieved.
Thankfully, we didn't stumble upon anything... No one has ever been inside Mr. You's private lounge except for himself. If Miss Xu found out that someone had been hiding there, the consequences would be...
He had just breathed a sigh of relief when doubts arose again: He clearly hadn't seen President You and Miss Ling come out, so how could they have disappeared?
Secretary Wang returned to the lounge to prepare. She had just reached the door...
"Bang!"
With a loud bang, the wardrobe door next to the bed was kicked open from the inside by a long leg covered in expensive dress pants!
Secretary Wang's heart skipped a beat, and he hurriedly went forward to check. What he saw left him speechless with astonishment.
The usually elegant, dignified, and meticulous CEO was now leaning awkwardly against the wardrobe.
The collar of the expensive handmade shirt was slightly open, revealing her well-defined collarbone. A few strands of black hair fell unruly across her smooth, full forehead. Her face had an unnatural flush, and her breathing was unsteady.
His large, well-defined hand was clasped around the slender waist of the unconscious Ling Wei.
The girl, her hair also slightly disheveled, curled up in front of him.
Secretary Wang gasped.
"Mr. You! You're so foolish!"
He felt he had uncovered the truth, and his tone was one of deep sorrow:
"It is illegal to violate a woman's will!!"
Secretary Wang was filled with remorse at this moment. He had complained about his wife's obsession with those domineering CEO novels.
Ever since he became You Jingxuan's special assistant, his wife has been stuffing him with books like "The Cold-Faced President's Fierce Love" and "Contractual Captive Pet," ostensibly to teach him "the unspoken rules of the workplace" so he wouldn't get his salary docked for not understanding "the president's mind."
Those law-abiding CEOs who constantly spout phrases like "it's getting cold and the king is breaking up" or "forced love" made him look like an old man on the subway looking at his phone.
His boss is a law-abiding citizen, okay?
He's very capable and never tries to take advantage of others. With his face, only others would want to take advantage of him.
Respecting labor laws, he never impulsively asks me to buy sanitary napkins, family planning supplies, or take troubled girls home in the middle of the night; his bonuses are always higher—after all, labor laws are not just for show.
Such a great CEO... how did he end up as the male lead on a legal channel?!
Secretary Wang was filled with despair!
Secretary Wang was moved to tears (psychological version)!
