65. I am most afraid of my boss’s sudden concern
"I've been with you so many times, why does it still hurt?" Ling Ling asked him in confusion. "I'm talking about the wound on your arm. What are you thinking about?" Yu Chuanbei deliberately played tricks. Ling Ling angrily sucked on his neck hard until he cried out in pain. "I'm going to leave a hickey so that you will be laughed at at work tomorrow." She said willfully. "What's the big deal? I'll just say it was my girlfriend who bit me. In the future, I'll take you to meet my colleagues and friends more often. When I introduce you to you, I'll tell them that the hickey was bitten by this woman." Yu Chuanbei was a complete scoundrel. Seeing that she couldn't gain the upper hand no matter what, Ling Ling was so angry that she wanted to pull away, but he pressed her into his arms again. He hugged her solemnly and said in a low voice: "Ling, I really care if you are hurt. I really don't want an accident like today to happen again. I still feel scared when I think about it now. What if the tip of the knife was off by an inch and it wasn't your arm that was injured, but your vitals? I can't lose you. Please don't put me in any situation where I might lose you, okay?" He suddenly became as sad as a child. Ling Ling hugged him back, and a feeling of grievance welled up in her: "Well, I promise you, I will protect myself better in the future. I was actually very, very scared today. During the negotiation, although I appeared calm on the surface, I was actually shaking with fear. Later, seeing Gu Chuqi was so scared, I could only continue to stay strong and comfort her. Until I saw you appear, if Chuqi hadn't been there, I really wanted to hug you and cry, and let you comfort me! Yu Chuanbei, it's great to have you. I love you so much." She stroked his soft hair and stared at her, her eyes sparkling. "Then how about we get married? I want to marry you. You're the only one I want to marry in this life. From now on, when I introduce you to my friends, I won't say 'girlfriend,' but simply introduce you as my wife, okay?" Yu Chuanbei stroked her cheek with his hand, slowly toying with her delicate chin. He proposed seriously, but without any trepidation, feeling that everything was just right at this moment, and he was determined to win. "I—I don't want to get married yet. I don't know about the long term, but at least not for the next two years. Your career is now entering a period of steady growth; but everything in mine is subject to change. I love advertising, and there are many things I want to try. But trying marriage has never been on my radar." Yu Chuanbei hadn't expected Ling Ling to reject him so completely, and to push him back two years. A flicker of disappointment crossed his deep chestnut eyes, but he remained resolute and said, "If you haven't considered it before, then...
"I've been with you so many times, why does it still hurt?" Ling Ling asked him in confusion.
"I'm talking about the wound on your arm. What are you thinking about?" Yu Chuanbei deliberately acted like a spoiled child.
Ling Ling sucked hard on his neck angrily until he cried out in pain. "I'm going to leave a kiss mark so that you'll be laughed at at work tomorrow," she said willfully.
"What's the big deal? I'll just say it was my girlfriend who bit me. In the future, I'll take you to meet my colleagues and friends more often. When I introduce you to them, I'll tell them that the kiss mark was caused by this woman." Yu Chuanbei was being shameless.
Seeing that she couldn't gain any advantage no matter what she did, Ling Ling was so angry that she pulled away and tried to leave, but he pressed her into his arms again. He hugged her solemnly and said in a low voice: "Ling, I really care if you are hurt. I really don't want an accident like today to happen again. I still feel scared when I think about it now. What if the tip of the knife was off by an inch and it was not your arm that was injured, but your vital parts? I can't lose you. Please don't put me in any situation where I might lose you, okay?"
He suddenly became as sad as a child. Ling Ling hugged him back, feeling aggrieved: "Well, I promise you that I will protect myself better in the future. I was actually very scared today. Although I appeared calm on the surface during the negotiation, I was actually so scared that my legs were shaking. Later, seeing Gu Chuqi so scared, I could only continue to stay strong and comfort her. Until I saw you appear, if Chuqi hadn't been there, I really wanted to hug you and cry, and let you comfort me! Yu Chuanbei, it's great to have you. I love you so much." She rubbed his soft hair and stared at her with sparkling eyes.
"Then let's get married, okay? I want to marry you. You're the only one I want to marry in this life. From now on, when I introduce you to my friends, I won't just say 'girlfriend,' but directly introduce you as my wife, okay?" Yu Chuanbei stroked her cheek, slowly playing with her delicate chin. He proposed seriously, but without any hesitation, feeling that everything was just right at this moment, and he was determined to win.
"I—I don't want to get married yet. I don't know about the long term, but at least not in the next two years. Your career is now entering a stable upward period; but everything in my profession is subject to change rapidly. I love advertising, and I still want to try many things. But trying for marriage has never been within my consideration."
Yu Chuanbei hadn't expected Ling Ling to reject him so completely, and even push him back two years. A flicker of disappointment crossed his deep chestnut eyes, but he remained resolute and said, "If you haven't considered it before, then starting tonight in this bathtub, give it a good think, okay? Remember, I've always wanted to marry you, and I'm always waiting for you to say yes. And our marriage won't conflict with anything you want to try. I'll always admire and support you. That's how I love you, understand?"
"Hmm..." Ling Ling pouted and gave him a devilish smile, "I actually met such a passionate man. I really wanted to agree to him in a heartbeat!"
"Then you agree?" He scratched her soft and fragrant back in a flattering manner.
"No, I don't want to." She said stubbornly.
He started moving again, and she struggled to escape, "I'm still disabled, do you have any humanity?"
"I'm broken now, my heart is broken into pieces, you have to help me mend it." He wanted to replace the failed proposal with a new round of intimacy and regain his vigor.
*~*~*~*~*~*~
Ling Ling munched on her submarine sandwich while memorizing the words and preparing her proposal.
Someone entered the office. Normally, the only person to arrive so early would be Gu Chuqi. But because of what happened last night, Mei Xiao had already granted her two days off. Ling Ling looked up in confusion, only to be met with her boss's inquiring gaze.
"Mr. Fang, uh, good morning." She stood up in panic, completely forgetting to wipe the sauce from the corner of her mouth.
"You were injured yesterday. Didn't you rest at home today?" Fang Tuowu asked with concern, his eyes falling on her left forearm wrapped in thick gauze.
Ling Ling raised her arm sheepishly and said awkwardly, "It's nothing, just a minor injury. Chu Qi was indeed frightened, but I'm fine. I have a proposal meeting in an hour, so I have to prepare in advance."
Fang Tuowu nodded amiably, and then said seriously, "As soon as I heard about the accident last night, I rushed to the hospital to see you. But when I got there, I heard from Gu Chuqi that you had left with your boyfriend, so I wanted to come and see you again today. I feel very sorry because of my colleagues at the company who caused this to happen to you. I didn't expect that Wen Jin, who had been submissive all his life, would suddenly do such an extreme thing. I actually fantasized about strategizing with human nature - I was too negligent. The company's legal department will follow up on the legal procedures that Shi Wenjin will take next, and will also help Gu Chuqi get justice. The company will also try its best to compensate you and Gu Chuqi."
Ling Ling also didn't expect that the boss would suddenly run to her workstation to apologize sincerely. Her greatest imagination could only imagine that the boss was carrying a fruit basket, holding up a red envelope, speaking official language, and expressing his sincere greetings and regrets to her, just like every official post-disaster reconstruction press release.
But Ling Ling quickly gathered her thoughts and said, "Boss Fang, no one in Tuowu wants to see something like this happen, especially you. Please don't blame yourself too much. I was willing to stand up out of instinct at that moment. I couldn't just sit back and watch my companions get hurt."
The biggest victim is, of course, Chuqi. I hope the company can pay more attention to her. Regarding the violent incident, the company should issue an internal notice today. Please ensure that public opinion is guided correctly. We shouldn't assign equal weight to each person, and we shouldn't emphasize the notion of a perfect victim. Although Chuqi spoke aggressively, it's absolutely wrong to say that angering the other party led to the incident. She has already suffered severe emotional trauma, so please don't let this incident affect your objective assessment of her work ability and performance."
Fang Tuowu looked at her with admiration and said, "Thank you for thinking about Gu Chuqi, and even more so for thinking about me and the company. If you have any ideas in the future, you can always come to my office to talk about them."
Ling Ling nodded sincerely and sent the boss away. She sat back at her workstation and accidentally saw the corner of her mouth stained with sauce in the simple dressing mirror.
"No way! This is so embarrassing! I've only met my boss a few times in my career, why does he have to be so aggressive every time?" She quickly wiped the corners of her mouth with a tissue, but she also realized that there was no way to save the situation. She could only tell herself, "It's okay, it's okay. I don't know him well."
But when Ling Ling received the company's bonus three days later, in the name of "heroic acts," she immediately wanted to "get to know" Fang Fuwu. This boss is too arrogant!
She and Gu Chuqi quietly exchanged their respective compensation amounts, and both of them suddenly felt the urge to die for Tuo Wu. If there was no more room to paint the floor, they could work up a brain and paint the walls. As long as the boss was happy.
If the banner is useful, why do we need a salary? This boss is so sensible! Gu Chuqi's mental trauma has healed a lot after several fierce battles with Ling Ling in the Guomao business district.
Ling Ling came home carrying a lot of shopping bags. Yu Chuanbei, who had just got off work, saw that she was in high spirits and asked her what she had bought.
Ling Ling opened the package and found all kinds of food. "The cakes in this shop are super delicious. There's nothing wrong with them except that they're expensive. You should try it!" She excitedly opened the package and scooped out a bite to feed him.
Yu Chuanbei thought it tasted really good, and after confirming it, he put his arm around her waist and couldn't help asking, "Other girls go to Guomao to buy luxury bags and clothes, but why did you spend the whole time eating?"
"Because we're poor, food expenses account for a large proportion, so the Engel coefficient is high." Ling Ling said nonchalantly, and she also enjoyed the deliciousness of the internet celebrity cake.
"Haven't I already activated a credit card linked to yours? You can use it as you please. Isn't it linked to mobile payment?" Yu Chuanbei was about to help her set it up on her phone, but Ling Ling snatched it away.
"I don't want that. I just want to spend the money I earn and live a lifestyle I can afford. I can't let extravagance make me depressed. I have to always keep my fighting spirit!"
