Chapter 223 Do I really need your company?
Tang Yutong almost choked on her own saliva. She stared at Chu Ci with wide eyes and said in disbelief:
"Me? Hit you? Master Chu, I went to great lengths to settle a drunk like you last night, and even paid out of my own pocket to book you a presidential suite. It's fine if you don't thank me, but why are you spitting blood at me?"
"You really didn't hit me?"
Chu Ci stared at her suspiciously. Tang Yutong put her hands on her hips and said seriously:
"Why would I hit you? You're the biggest money-maker in our company now. I can't wait to curry favor with you."
"Then why does the back of my head hurt so much?"
Chu Ci rubbed the back of his head which was aching slightly. Hearing this, Tang Yutong suddenly remembered what happened last night and couldn't help laughing out loud.
"What are you laughing at? Is it funny?"
Chu Ci's face instantly darkened, and Tang Yutong quickly waved her hands, trying hard to suppress her smile.
"No, nothing. I just suddenly thought of the cartoon I watched last night. It was really funny..."
Chu Ci looked at her with disdain and said with a curled lip:
"Childish! You're already an adult, and you're still watching cartoons..."
"It's quite childish."
Tang Yutong nodded in agreement with what he said, a faint smile on her lips.
She wore a neat high ponytail today, and her professional suit outlined her elegant curves. She looked completely childish.
Chu Ci raised an eyebrow when he heard this. He was clearly talking about her, so why did she look so agreeable? Could she have gone mad at work? He secretly complained, but suddenly he felt like teasing her.
Chu Ci suddenly took a step forward, and the distance between them suddenly shortened.
He leaned forward slightly, and gently stroked the top of Tang Yutong's head with his slender fingers. His movements were so natural that it seemed as if he had done it a thousand times.
"But... I also like childishness."
Tang Yutong froze in place instantly. The warm touch in her hair made her breath stop. This sudden intimate gesture made her mind go blank.
How many years had it been since someone dared to touch her like this? The last time someone patted her head was probably in elementary school. What did he think of her? A pet? And that "I like you"...
“What are you doing!”
She took a step back suddenly, and the tips of her ears turned slightly red.
Chu Ci calmly withdrew his hand, a mischievous smile in his eyes: "Nothing, I just suddenly thought you were cute."
Cute? This was the first time Tang Yutong heard someone use this word to describe her, and she wanted to know if she fit the description.
She had deliberately chosen the most aura-enhancing dark red lipstick today, her high heels were seven centimeters high, and even her perfume was a cool cedar scent...
She's clearly going for the queen look, okay?
"Mr. Chu, if you have nothing else to do, please go back. I have to go to work." She pretended to be calm and turned to walk towards the desk.
"You keep busy."
Chu Ci walked to the sofa and sat down while Tang Yutong stared at him.
"You're not leaving?"
"It's okay, I'm here with you."
Do I really need you to accompany me?
Tang Yutong really couldn't understand what Chu Ci was doing. She saw Chu Ci had taken out his mobile phone and opened Honor of Kings.
"TiMi~"
Tang Yutong: ...
Tang Yutong saw someone playing ranked with their legs crossed, looking so comfortable as if they were in their own living room. She couldn't help but raise an eyebrow:
"Is Mr. Chu so free every day?"
"Not really, I just think...it's more interesting to work with Mr. Tang."
He suddenly raised his eyes, his amber pupils like melted honey in the sunlight, staring straight at Tang Yutong.
Then he changed the subject and said to Tang Yutong, "Go and do your work. Don't worry about me."
Tang Yutong's mouth twitched slightly. What was this guy's face made of? Bulletproof material?
But in the end she said nothing, which was considered as her tacit agreement to let Chu Ci stay here.
Tang Yutong returned to her desk and watched Chu Ci playing games next to her. She suddenly felt that it would be nice to have a handsome guy accompany her to work.
Then he continued to work with his head down. Where Tang Yutong couldn't see, the corners of the man's lips curled up in a triumphant smile.
Sure enough, compared to those roundabout business tactics, straight-forward offense is the right approach. Look, with just a few words, he successfully broke into the enemy's base camp, didn't he?
Chu Ci felt dizzy after playing a game. He had no choice but to put his phone down and close his eyes to rest. He seemed to have thought of something and suddenly said:
"Ms. Tang, you were the one who sent me to the hotel yesterday. You have to take responsibility for what happened to me."
Tang Yutong raised her head upon hearing this and saw Chu Ci leaning back on the sofa with his eyes closed. It should be a very lazy posture, but Chu Ci's brows were wrinkled and it was obvious that he was in pain.
Tang Yutong was also afraid that something might happen to him, so she asked:
"Does your head still hurt? Do you want to go to the hospital for a checkup?"
Chu Ci said without thinking: "No."
"Are you planning to wait until your illness gets worse so you can blackmail me?"
"Yes, when I get seriously ill, I'll ask you to marry me and take care of me for the rest of my life."
As Chu Ci said this, he slowly opened his eyes and his gaze met Tang Yutong's.
Tang Yutong looked at Chu Ci. How come this guy started talking so slickly after waking up from a nap? Did he really have a brain injury?
"That's a nice thought."
Tang Yutong said as she stood up and started packing her bag. Chu Ci saw her and asked, "What are you doing?"
"I'll go with you to check your brain. I think your brain is broken."
"You're the one with a broken brain!" Chu Ci retorted angrily.
"You are speaking with full energy now. Were you pretending to be weak just now?" Tang Yutong couldn't help but teasing.
Chuci: ...
Chu Ci was suddenly speechless. Which kind of good person would pretend to be sick for no reason?
"Okay, let's go. I'll take you to the hospital for a checkup."
As Tang Yutong spoke, she picked up her bag and coat and prepared to go out.
"You're not working anymore? Isn't it inappropriate for the boss to lead the group in absenteeism?"
"How dare you say that to me? Look at yourself."
Chuci: ...
How can this woman be so offensive?
Seeing that he couldn't win the argument, Chu Ci simply stopped talking and leaned back on the sofa, showing no intention of moving. Tang Yutong just looked at him, not knowing what he wanted to do.
Tang Yutong just stood there and looked at him. After about three minutes, Tang Yutong's patience was completely exhausted by him. She asked in a cold voice:
"Will you leave?"
Chu Ci hesitated for a long time, and finally said with a look of grievance: "I don't want to go to the hospital..."
Tang Yutong was so angry at him that she laughed. How could he, a grown man, be afraid of going to the hospital?
"Why don't you want to go?"
"Why so many whys? I just don't want to go."
Chu Ci avoided looking at Tang Yutong.
