Chapter 87 The Consequences of Seduction
Ruan Yi counted on her fingers and chattered on and on to Fu Jingchen, describing her grand plan of "exchanging small profits for big gains".
The man suddenly spoke, his voice deep and hoarse.
"Xiao Yi, how do you plan to seduce him?"
Ruan Yi hesitated for a moment, then leaned forward somewhat furtively, "I'm going to—"
"Xiao Yi, now...seduce me."
The man interrupted her quietly, his dark eyes fixed on her, his tone unreadable, "Show me."
The air seemed to be paused.
Ruan Yi's words caught in her throat, her cheeks flushed red, like a boiled shrimp.
Why would I seduce you? You're not Seren!
"I'm worried."
Fu Jingchen spoke in a serious tone, as if discussing work, but his eyes held a deliberately scrutinizing gaze.
His gaze fell on Ruan Yi's face.
It's as if it's saying—someone like you?
Ruan Yi was instantly ignited.
She slammed her hand on the table with a loud "bang," making the chair shake.
"Who do you think you are!" Ruan Yi raised her neck and puffed out her chest.
"Let me tell you, I'm brimming with sexual tension! A classic sexy and charming woman, okay?"
As she spoke, the girl deliberately brushed a stray hair behind her ear, trying to strike a charming pose.
He hesitated as soon as he looked up, then blinked and asked.
"But Seren is probably someone who falls for my tricks. What kind of woman can seduce you?"
"There has to be a standard, right? So I can imitate it. Like American actresses, something like Marilyn Monroe?"
The man's eyes darkened, his fingertips paused lightly on the table, and his voice was low and husky.
"Xiao Yi is fine as she is."
Ruan Yi was stunned for a moment, then raised her chin, looking smug and proud.
Hmph! She really is captivating.
But after the pride comes the genuine regret.
She's never seduced anyone; it's always others who fawn over her. Last time she almost fell for it, it was because Fu Jingchen seduced her.
The image of Fu Jingchen seducing her flashed through her mind. In the end, wasn't it just taking off clothes?
But of course she couldn't take off her own clothes.
Ruan Yi's eyes lit up, and she suddenly had an idea. "I'm sorry for offending you," she said, mentally preparing herself.
It's acting! Just consider it a rehearsal for Seren; it's all part of an actor's professionalism.
Before she finished speaking, she turned around and sat down neatly on Fu Jingchen's lap.
"I'm starting now. It's just acting, don't take it seriously."
The man froze the moment she sat on his lap, as if a pause button had been pressed.
The next second, his hand seemed to have a mind of its own, uncontrollably reaching out to wrap around her waist.
It was purely a physiological reflex; I wanted to keep her in the safest place, to make sure she was seated securely.
Ruan Yi slapped his hand away and glared at him.
"I was the one who seduced you, don't get it backwards!"
Ruan Yi blinked, took a deep breath, and when she opened her eyes again, she tried to force what she thought was a charming expression.
Her eyes narrowed slightly, a smile played on her lips, and her voice softened, becoming sickeningly sweet.
Never seduced anyone before? Haven't you seen it yet? It's just three elements: winking, biting your lip, and using a sweet voice.
Ruan Yi felt that she had imitated it quite well, especially the way she bit her lower lip.
Then, the girl's slender fingers gently touched Fu Jingchen's shirt collar, her fingertips deliberately tracing his Adam's apple, slowly lifting it upwards.
The objective is clear: to unbutton the man's shirt.
"President Fu," he drawled, the last syllable lingering, "do you think... this is enough?"
Actually, the girl's eyes were sparkling, not at all alluring; she was clearly just being silly.
But his breathing still became much heavier than usual.
The rise and fall of his chest was visible to the naked eye, and the Adam's apple was bobbing faster and faster, as if he was trying his best to suppress a beast about to burst out of the ground.
Fu Jingchen suddenly spoke, his voice low and hoarse.
"Does Xiaoyi know the consequences of using seduction? Does she know how the other person will react?"
Just as Ruan Yi was about to open her mouth to answer, he grabbed her wrist.
The next second, a large, warm, and dry hand suddenly touched her thigh. Through the thin skirt, the touch was incredibly hot, sliding up her delicate skin.
Her fingertips had even touched the edge of the skirt, subtly exploring its softness.
An ambiguous atmosphere instantly filled the space between the two, leaving Ruan Yi's mind blank.
By the time she realized what was happening, that scalding hot hand had already moved with irresistible force, getting only half an inch away from the bottom of her skirt.
"Why are you being a pervert!" the girl screamed in shock, shrinking back sharply.
But as soon as the cry came out, the grip on her wrist loosened, and the hand on her leg was instantly pulled away, as fast as if it had never happened.
Fu Jingchen leaned back in his chair, the touch of her skirt still lingering on his fingertips, his eyes dark.
"What if Seren treats you like that?"
Ruan Yi's panic from that moment hadn't subsided, and her throat felt like it was blocked, preventing her from uttering a single word.
Yes, what can we do? She couldn't even withstand Fu Jingchen's attack. If she really faced someone like Seren, she probably wouldn't even have a chance to fight back.
It seems she's really not cut out for this line of work; she's just destined to be seduced.
Seeing her dejected state, Fu Jingchen softened his tone, offering a comforting words.
“Xiaoyi, I will stop, but he won’t.”
"Be good, stop thinking about these things, okay?"
Ruan Yi lowered her head and after a long while, she responded in a muffled voice, "Oh, I know."
The girl quickly scrambled off his lap and stepped back three paces.
She had accepted her fate clearly in her heart. Seduction was too dangerous. She was better suited to force herself on others or being seduced by them.
The man's fingertips clenched loosely in the air, his eyes deep and unfathomable.
"I almost couldn't hold back just now..."
I want her to truly experience the price of seduction.
Ruan Yi sat back down in her chair, dejected. Her seduction plan had been completely rejected, and she had finally come to her senses.
This roundabout approach is indeed unsuitable. Rather than engaging in pretense with Thran, it would be better to sincerely apologize to him while ensuring safety.
If that doesn't work, then we'll have to face the business war head-on with Fu Jingchen.
The sun outside the window was almost at noon; a morning of meetings plus a seductive drama had left everyone starving.
Fu Jingchen closed the last document, looked up at her, and said, "Xiaoyi, I brought you a lunchbox."
Before he could even finish saying the word "Chinese food," he was interrupted.
"No, I want to eat by myself."
The girl's tone was stiff, like a stone, still feeling awkward about the role-playing she had just done.
Fu Jingchen didn't say anything more, just watched her walk away, his fingertips pausing on the edge of the table.
The man had learned a new Chinese dish and made a bento box early in the morning. He even used seaweed flakes to arrange what he thought was a cute little cat pattern that looked like a girl on the rice.
But she didn't want to eat it.
It was his fault; he scared her just now.
In the elevator, Ruan Yi received a message from Gu Zhi.
He shamelessly begged and pleaded to come all this way to have lunch with her, even though he had work to do.
According to Gu Zhi's casual remark, it should be one of Ruan's overseas partners, and probably not a very large one.
Ruan Yi firmly rejected him; how could she possibly agree to such a tiring trip?
Gu Zhi quickly replied with a series of aggrieved emojis, but Ruan Yi's concern that he might get tired outweighed his coquettishness, and she didn't agree to let Gu Zhi come over.
After leaving the company building, the girl headed straight for the exquisitely decorated Chinese restaurant on the street corner.
Ruan Yi chose a seat by the window, picked up the menu, flipped through a couple of pages, and was about to call the waiter.
A very gentle voice, tinged with laughter, suddenly rang out above their heads.
"This beautiful lady."
A tall figure appeared at the table at some point, his fingertips lightly touching the surface, his eyebrows curving into a gentle arc, his tone deliberately tinged with a flirtatious flirtation, and a hint of teasing amusement.
"I was immediately drawn to you when we first met. Since you're alone, would you mind sharing a table with me?"
Where did this British young man come from?
She looked up, and a head of gleaming silver-white hair caught her eye. The man had a high nose bridge and his thin lips were also very eye-catching.
Ruan Yi was amused by his appearance and continued his words with a smile.
"Of course, Mr. Pei."
"Please sit down, please sit down. It's quite boring for me to eat alone."
