The sky was still hazy, and a sleepy-eyed Lu Zhufeng was gently helping Xiao Wujie put on his clothes, muttering to himself:
"I've already given him a bath, why do I have to change his clothes?"
"You fussy thing, can't you go out in a bathrobe?"
The incident began last night when Chu Liyue adopted Xiao Wujie's suggestion and immediately contacted Zhong Xiu.
The four major families in the capital are Ye, Chu, Huo, and Gu. The Ye and Chu families mainly concentrate their power in the western city center, the Huo family dominates the northern district, and the eastern district is mainly the territory of the Gu family.
Chu Liyue and the Gu family are not on good terms. On the contrary, Chu Feihong has close ties with many important figures in the Gu family. Gu Wuming, who was previously defeated by Chu Liyue, came from this Gu family.
The backlog of business for Chu Liyue this time involves some collaborative projects with Gu Junci, the second young lady of the Gu family, that have not yet been finalized, requiring her to personally go there for some discussions and handover.
Gu Junci is also a decisive and domineering strong woman.
She and Chu Liyue were known as the two most beautiful women in the capital. Before Chu Liyue came to the capital, the titles of the most beautiful woman and the most beautiful young lady in the capital were both bestowed upon her.
The two weren't exactly at odds; rather, they shared a mutual appreciation as both were exceptionally beautiful women and aloof, CEO-like figures.
However, due to considerable business competition, it can hardly be considered a good relationship.
When Ai Ruoman contacted the other party's secretary and explained her intentions, the other party immediately indicated that they were ready to discuss and connect at any time.
The decisive Miss Chu set the date for the next day, but the pre-meeting discussions alone lasted until 2 a.m., and the departure was scheduled for 5 a.m. the following day.
Xiao Wujie waited until Chu Liyue finished dealing with the matter before going to sleep. Three hours of sleep was simply too much for his body.
At 4:30 a.m., Chu Liyue kicked open Lu Zhufeng's door and asked him to help Xiao Wujie, who was fast asleep, change his clothes, while she packed up and took her away.
The sound of high heels clicking behind him made Lu Zhufeng immediately shut his mouth and obediently help Xiao Wujie put on his clothes.
Because he was fast asleep and not fully conscious, Xiao Wujie felt someone manipulating him. He frowned, his eyelashes trembled, and he was extremely uncooperative, looking like he was about to wake up.
Lu Zhufeng was sweating profusely, and he wanted to curse inwardly.
What the hell are these clothes? So many belts and buttons.
Chu Liyue, already dressed in an elegant business suit, quickly sat down by the bed, pulled him into her arms, and gently stroked his hair with her delicate, smooth hands. Her red lips brushed against his ear as she whispered a soft, soothing voice:
"Go back to sleep, sweetie!"
Xiao Wujie instinctively snuggled closer to her, burying his face in her neck, and immediately became much more obedient.
Lu Zhufeng, who could kill a bull with a single punch, struggled to change his clothes without waking him.
Chu Liyue pulled a thick blanket over him and wrapped him up, then picked him up in her arms. She then walked downstairs with elegant steps in her high heels.
Throughout the journey, the experienced driver, with over a decade of driving experience, was sweating profusely, fearing even the slightest bump in the car.
A few minutes earlier, a car in front of him ran a red light, forcing him to slam on the brakes. He then heard a muffled groan from behind.
Turning his head, he met his boss's gaze, which seemed to devour him whole. Then, through the rearview mirror, he saw his aloof, unattainable boss gently stroking the cheek of the stunningly handsome but sickly man in his arms, coaxing him:
"It's okay, go to sleep."
The man wrapped his arms around his boss's waist, burying his face in his boss's shoulder and rubbing against him unconsciously. His boss held him close, letting him rub against him, and even carefully tucked the blanket around him.
He couldn't help but take a few more glances, otherwise he would have really wondered if he was still half asleep and had pulled the wrong person.
Can anyone tell him who the boss is holding?
Empress or wicked concubine?
If she were the empress, he would have to seize the opportunity to showcase his good manners and image to get closer to her.
Doubling your salary is just a matter of whispering something in your boss's ear.
Two hours later, the car pulled into a highly private five-star hotel in Zhongxiu. Perhaps because he had slept too late and was too tired, Xiao Wujie showed no signs of waking up even after they arrived.
Chu Liyue then carried him out of the car, and the next moment, the hotel manager and waiters witnessed this scene:
An elegant and noble woman, with a captivating and graceful demeanor, walked in carrying a man so handsome it was almost unbelievable. She wore domineering seven-centimeter stilettos.
Even those who were used to seeing important figures were stunned.
For no other reason than that these two are fucking good-looking.
Although the work guidelines clearly state that judging people by their appearance is forbidden, they are just superficial people who are obsessed with looks at heart.
The male waiters were alright, but the female waiters, who were almost bewitched by Xiao Wujie's stunningly beautiful yet frail appearance, felt a chill run down their spines from the way that aloof and elegant fairy looked at them.
She quickly came to her senses, gently swaying her pert bottom and taking small, quick steps to lead the way.
Once inside the room, she placed the person in her arms on the spacious and comfortable bed, only to find that he seemed unusually tired, with a faint, unnatural flush on his pale face.
I reached out and touched his forehead, and immediately felt a burning sensation under my hand.
The hotel's dedicated doctor arrived quickly, and a thermometer was placed close to his forehead, soon displaying a reading of 38.5.
The doctor prescribed medication, but considering Xiao Wujie's poor health, he also prepared several IV drips.
As the needle was inserted into Xiao Wujie's vein, he couldn't help but let out a soft groan, his handsome brows furrowing together.
