Chapter 44: Entanglement
"There's something wrong with that glass of wine." Wen Eryu said this with the last bit of consciousness he had left.
Shen Jize's face froze, and he picked her up without saying a word.
But Wen Eryu's hand began to wander dishonestly around his abdomen.
Shen Jize was originally going to throw her into the bathtub and let her calm down on her own, but now he... couldn't do it.
Thirty years old is the age when one is as vigorous as a wolf or a tiger.
He had never touched any other woman except Wen Eryu.
More than half a year had passed since their last oral sex. He lowered his eyes and looked at the restless person in his arms, his dry Adam's apple rolling up and down.
"If you don't want to suffer, then be good and don't move." Shen Jize gritted his teeth and tried to keep himself rational.
But his last bit of sanity was completely shattered by Wen Eryu's kiss.
The next second, Shen Jize no longer forbeared but took the initiative and kissed her back.
Wen Eryu was drowsy when she felt a completely different breath suddenly hit her nostrils.
The cold cedar wood is mixed with a subtle bitter medicinal smell, as well as an aggressive scent that is unique to him.
Shen Jize whispered in her ear: "Eryu, open your eyes and see who I am."
Wen Eryu instinctively wanted to open her mouth, but only a few unclear whimpers came out of her throat.
The numb feeling deep in the body that was forcibly suppressed by the medicine was being fiercely torn and replaced by another more turbulent and unfamiliar heat current.
Ice and fire fought fiercely in the blood, bringing waves of dizziness and weakness.
Her legs went weak and she fell uncontrollably back into his arms.
Shen Jize's body suddenly stiffened, and the hand that was gripping his wrist tightened instantly, almost crushing his bones.
The other arm subconsciously wrapped around Wen Eryu's limp waist.
Shen Jize's strength was astonishingly great, as if he wanted to completely rub her into his bones.
Their chaotic breaths intertwined in an instant, and his hot breath brushed across Wen Eryu's sweaty forehead and messy hair.
After a moment, Chen Ji Ze's lips, with an almost rough and forceful force, suddenly pressed down.
But this time his target was not the lips, but the sensitive skin on the side of the woman's neck.
His breath harshly branded the skin on the side of her neck, crushing and sucking it heavily. Then, with punishing force, he left a clear sting on that piece of skin.
"Chen Jize!" Wen Eryu was hurt by his bite and shouted his name loudly.
The overwhelming stimulation mixed with the sharp pain was like an electric current instantly piercing the top of the head.
Wen Eryu suddenly jumped up in his arms, but was pressed back firmly by his arms.
All the senses are pushed to the peak at this moment.
But at this moment, Wen Eryu pushed him away.
She gasped and covered her undone clothes.
The effect of the medicine did not last long. After realizing what he was doing, Wen Eryu climbed out of bed in embarrassment.
She had just changed her mind about Shen Jize, but it would take time to get used to doing that kind of thing with him.
“…Yes, I’m sorry.” After saying this, Wen Eryu opened the door and ran out.
Behind him, inside the open door, there was endless, chilling silence.

The phone rang three times before it was answered.
Liu Yun put the phone to his ear and heard an angry voice from the other end.
"What's wrong with you? You even lost people!" Du Yan's sharp and piercing voice made Liu Yun's scalp numb.
"How could that be? I asked Wang Hui to deliver it."
"Mr. Zhou called me and said he hadn't waited in the room for anyone to come over. Are you sure she drank that glass of wine?"
Liu Yun said affirmatively: "Of course, she drank it in front of me."
"Where is Wang Hui?" Du Yan asked.
Liu Yun glanced towards the elevator and said, "I didn't see her. Don't worry, I'll go find her and ask."
"If this thing goes wrong, we'll all be finished!" Du Yan slammed the table heavily on the other end of the phone. "I'll try to appease Mr. Zhou first."
After hanging up the phone, Wang Hui just came out of the elevator.
Before Liu Yun could speak, she said, "Sister Yun, I'm sorry, I lost you."
"You're a loser! You messed up even when I asked you to send someone off." Liu Yun's face turned blue with anger. He kept picking at his fingernails, thinking about what to do next.
Wang Hui pursed her lips, lowered her head and dared not say a word, for fear that Liu Yun would scold her again.
"What are you doing here? Go find that person."
Wang Hui nodded: "Okay, okay, Sister Yun."
…

The next day, the lounge.
"...Is this true? You look quite noble."
"It's absolutely true! Wang Hui said it herself. Wen Eryu and Mr. Zhou didn't come out the whole night."
"Tsk tsk, no wonder she got the project, she's having so much fun."
"On the surface, she's pure and innocent, but behind the scenes... heh."
When the two saw Wen Eryu coming over, they smiled at each other, their smiles full of sarcasm.
Wen Eryu clenched his fists, his nails carving deeper marks on his palms.
The dry leaves of the green ivy on the corner of the table trembled in the cold wind.
The two thought she would leave, but the next second, she walked forward.
"Who told you that?"
Employee A said guiltily, "Most people in the company know about it, and we just heard it from other people."
Employee B echoed, "Yeah, yeah. If you haven't done it, you don't have to worry about us saying it."
Wen Eryu was so angry that she laughed. They felt quite justified in making up dirty rumors about her behind her back.
"Liu Yun and Wang Hui said that, right?"
Wen Eryu had already guessed who was behind this. She was too lazy to talk nonsense with them and went straight to the office.
Liu Yun was putting on makeup at her workstation at this time. When she saw Wen Eryu, the hand holding the lipstick trembled violently, and the lipstick went outside the corner of her mouth.
"How come you walk without making any sound?" Liu Yun said guiltily, "You scared me to death."
Wen Eryu smiled and said, "If I hadn't done anything wrong, I wouldn't have reacted so strongly."
"you……"
"You were the one who drugged me, right?"
Liu Yun played dumb and said, "What do you mean by drugging me? Don't take advantage of your leader's favor to throw dirty water on me."
Wen Eryu didn't get angry. She looked at her calmly and said, "Wang Hui has told me everything."
"What?!" Liu Yun's voice rose a notch. "Impossible! She's on vacation today and didn't even come to the company."
"Even if she didn't come to the company, couldn't she send me a message?"
After saying that, Wen Eryu shook the phone in front of Liu Yun.
"..." Liu Yun's face fell, "This bitch actually betrayed me."
"So you admit it?"
Liu Yun wiped off the lipstick with her finger: "So what if I did it? You have no evidence."
Wen Eryu's eyes dropped. "I will find it. By the way, I want to remind you that you have left a lot of clues. You can find it with just a simple search."
"It's up to you." Liu Yun said calmly.
If she really found out something, she would be doomed. She had to think of a way. Suddenly, she looked towards Wei Yan's office.
Liu Yun stood up and knocked on the office door a few times.
"Come in." Wei Yan asked again when he saw it was her, "What's the matter?"
"Manager Wei, Wen Eryu is having an affair with Mr. Zhou."
Wei Yan frowned: "I don't care about my employees' private affairs."
Liu Yun continued, adding fuel to the fire, "She wants to use Mr. Zhou to get promoted and replace you."
"Pa——" Wei Yan threw the pen in his hand onto the table.
He walked out, and Liu Yun immediately followed him with a triumphant smile.
Wei Yan stopped in front of Wen Eryu's desk and asked, "Where did you go last night?"
"Why do you ask that, Director Wei?"
Wen Eryu stood up and glanced at Liu Yun's expression beside her to know what she and Wei Yan had said.
At this moment, her temples were throbbing with pain.
This Liu Yun is really not a good person. Isn't it better to focus on work? Why does he have to target her?
Wei Yan looked up and was about to speak when a very light sound of heels tapping on the ground was heard at the office door.
When Liu Yun saw the person coming in, the smile on his face froze instantly.
She muttered softly, "Why is he here?"
Wen Eryu turned around when he heard the voice.
Shen Jize was standing at the backlight at the entrance, wearing a dark black suit, his figure as straight as a knife blade, his eyes piercing through the solidified air and locked onto Liu Yun's pale face.
He took a step, and the sound of his leather shoes hitting the marble floor was clear and heavy.
The powerful aura silently rolled over the dead silent space, and he stopped in front of Liu Yun.
Shen Jize tilted his head slightly, his gaze finally landing on Wen Eryu.
He raised his hand, and the assistant behind him immediately handed him a bulging brown paper bag.
Shen Jize flipped his wrist.
“Bang!”
He threw the briefcase at Liu Yun's feet.
"Read it yourself." His voice was low and smooth, without any ups and downs. "After you've read it, go to the Human Resources Department to collect your salary."
Liu Yun's body suddenly went limp and she collapsed to the ground, her messy curly hair sticking to her pale cheeks. She was shaking violently, staring blankly at the documents at her feet, her lips trembling.
"Boss Shen, it's not like that. Please give me another chance..."
Shen Jize no longer looked at her, his cold gaze swept across the entire place, and everyone who was touched lowered their heads. The air was filled with suffocating fear, fearing that they would get into trouble.
His eyes lingered on Wen Eryu for a moment.
After a moment, he retracted his gaze and said to Wei Yan, "I have already acquired your company. I have the final say on who to fire."
Wei Yan didn't dare to say more: "...Okay, Mr. Shen."
Shen Jize turned around and was about to leave, but he turned sideways and said to Wen Eryu, "Why don't you catch up?"
As soon as she finished speaking, the employees around her looked at her in surprise and admiration.
