Chapter 22: The Domineering Secretary Bai Yueguang 1 Accident
When Wen Qianning just crossed into the second world, she was held in the arms of a man, and his warm breath sprayed on her neck.
"?" She looked up in confusion and was stunned.
Because the person hugging her was none other than Ji Hanlin. His face in this world didn't look much different from his previous one, except that the person before him looked much more mature.
[System, please give me an explanation... Why is Ji Hanlin still the male protagonist in the second world?!]
Wen Qianning was speechless and tried to establish a dialogue with the system through his sea of consciousness.
The system quickly responded:
To help the host avoid unnecessary trouble and quickly adapt to the new world, in each novel instance managed by this system, the male protagonist will automatically be generated based on the appearance of the male protagonist in the first world, and his name will not be changed. Therefore, I hope the host can successfully complete the task.
After hearing the system's explanation, she was still a little confused: [So... these male protagonists are not the same person? ]
"Of course not." The system's electronic voice was very cold. "This system reiterates once again, just to facilitate the host's mission, the appearance and name of the male protagonists in all worlds will be unified."
[Host, please note: an incident like the one in the previous world must not occur again. This means the plot must not deviate from this. Otherwise, the host's quick-transmigration assessment may not meet the expected standards, and the end of the host's assessment will be indefinitely delayed!]
Wen Qianning blinked, finally understanding.
At this moment, the plot of the novel in the second world also flooded into her mind like a tide.
In this world, the male protagonist is the president of Ji Group, and Bai Yueguang is his secretary.
At a dinner party, the male protagonist was secretly drugged. Bai Yueguang, intent on currying favor with him, used her identity as his secretary to approach him while he was taking the Chinese medicine and help him with the antidote. Since that night, the two have maintained a close relationship.
Later, a female supporting character claiming to be the CEO's fiancée breaks into the company and publicly humiliates Bai Yueguang, mocking her wishful thinking and saying the male lead and her are just playing around. Bai Yueguang realizes she has no hope of marrying into a wealthy family, and just when a rival company offers her an olive branch, she leaks company secrets to the competitor, resolutely leaves a letter of resignation, and leaves the company.
The real heroine is the girl who was hired as the hero's new secretary after Bai Yueguang resigned. She accompanied the hero through the difficult period when he was set up by his rival, and as they got along day after day, the hero fell in love with the heroine.
Ji Hanlin in front of him looked obviously abnormal.
His suit was half-open, his collar was disheveled, there was a thin layer of sweat on his forehead, and his brows were furrowed, as if he was trying hard to restrain something.
Wen Qianning's eyes twitched, and she immediately realized that this scene... was the classic scene in the original plot where the male protagonist took Chinese medicine and Bai Yueguang took the initiative to give him the antidote.
"Mr. Ji..." She spoke tentatively, poking him lightly with her finger.
The man's eyes were fixed on her. When he heard the soft voice of the girl in his arms, he tilted his head slightly and his breathing became heavier.
"Wen Qianning...?" Ji Hanlin called her name, his voice unusually hoarse.
Her heart skipped a beat. The lust in his eyes was too naked, and she almost instinctively wanted to shrink back. But before she could completely retreat, his hand suddenly clasped her wrist tightly.
Wen Qianning's mind was a bit confused for a moment. Ji Hanlin in this world... compared to his student days in the previous world, he was indeed more oppressive. Even though he was under the influence of the drugs, he still had the fierce aura of a domineering CEO.
Her mind raced for a few moments, she took a deep breath, slowly squatted down, poured him a glass of water, and handed it to him gently and softly, "Drink some water first and calm down."
Ji Hanlin took the cup of water, but noticed that the girl's fingers were trembling slightly.
"Are you afraid of me?"
Wen Qianning froze for a moment, then smiled and shook her head: "Of course not."
"You're shaking." He looked at her, stating a fact expressionlessly.
Nonsense, she was hugged by a drugged man right after she came here. Even if this man was the male protagonist, she would still be a little scared, okay!
"I'm just... a little cold." She drooped her eyelashes and pretended to pull her hand back casually, but Ji Hanlin held her waist and forcefully pulled her back into his arms.
She threw herself into his arms, her forehead hitting his jaw, and heard him hiss softly.
He was really miserable.
Under the influence of the drug, even though he tried his best to restrain himself from losing control, he was on the verge of collapse.
Wen Qianning took a breath. In the plot, it was at this moment that Bai Yueguang, half-reluctantly clinging to him, took the initiative to get closer.
...Do you want to follow along?
She hesitated for a moment, but finally followed the plot and gently raised her hand to hold his shoulders.
"Mr. Ji, can you lean on me and rest for a while?" Wen Qianning said softly.
Ji Hanlin looked at her, his eyes dimmed a little.
"...Are you sure?" he asked hoarsely.
Wen Qianning's heart skipped a beat, but she remained calm. "I'm your secretary, after all. It's my duty to take care of you."
As soon as he finished speaking, the man suddenly lowered his head and rested his forehead on her shoulder, as if trying to regain some rationality.
His breathing became more rapid, and his voice was almost inaudible: "Do you know what you are saying?"
Wen Qianning paused. Just as she was still hesitating, the man in her arms suddenly let go of her, stepped back, and sat down on the sofa, his arm resting on his forehead, panting softly.
"Get out." He spoke hoarsely, his voice as cold as ice that had been compressed to the extreme.
Wen Qianning didn't move. She stood there, narrowed her eyes, and then slowly walked over.
Haha, I don’t know why, but when he asked her to go out, it inexplicably aroused her desire to conquer him.
So, Wen Qianning stood in front of him, raised her hand to cover his forehead, and her palm touched his skin.
Ji Hanlin opened his eyes and watched her lose her usual cautiousness and touch his cheek with a soft little hand.
Suddenly, he felt a string in his brain suddenly snap.
The next second, he grabbed Wen Qianning's wrist and brought her to the bed. As their lips met, he felt an almost burning desire, his mind gradually losing focus.
Ji Hanlin lowered his head and kissed her shoulder, biting and sucking it gently, as if leaving a mark. The sound of the fabric sliding down was swallowed by his heavy breathing. The moment her skin touched the air, she couldn't help but tremble.
The warm yellow light was on in the hotel room, and the swaying light cast a blurry silhouette on the ceiling. The shadows of the two people overlapped, blurry and lingering.
*
The sun shone through the window, and the hotel suite was quiet, with only the sound of two shallow breathing intertwined.
Ji Hanlin opened his eyes, but did not move in the first second after regaining consciousness. He just lay there quietly, staring at the ceiling in silence for a long time.
She was only wearing a disheveled nightgown, with tiny red marks on her collarbone, and there was a warm breath around her.
He turned his head and saw a girl sleeping quietly beside him, her hair messy on the pillow. She was very close, her eyelashes were clearly visible, and her eyebrows were gentle.
He stared at her face, his eyes deepening a little. Because... this person was none other than his secretary, Wen Qianning.
Ji Hanlin was stunned for a moment, breathing out slowly, and all the memories flooded into his mind at this moment.
Last night's dinner was with an investment company that had proactively submitted a letter of intent for cooperation. He had not been very interested at first, but attended the dinner out of courtesy. He also took the wine glass at the table and took a few sips absent-mindedly.
He always drank in moderation, but not long after his second glass of wine last night, he felt something was wrong.
At first I just felt a little dizzy, then my throat became dry, and my whole body felt like it was surrounded by fire, and my consciousness gradually began to blur.
Ji Hanlin realized almost instantly that he had been drugged. However, because no one had ever used such a despicable method on him with such a large order, he was caught off guard this time and unfortunately fell for it.
In an instant, his eyes turned cold and glanced at the young female representative who had been toasting him frequently.
So, the person on the other side had some evil ideas and was being too clever, thinking that by sending a woman he liked and arranging an "accident", he could negotiate a cooperation?
absurd.
He put down his glass expressionlessly and spoke directly in a harsh tone: "Is this your attitude towards cooperation?"
Everyone present was stunned, as if they didn't understand why President Ji said this.
"I won't touch any business that involves sending women to bed." After he said that, he turned and left without even glancing at the woman.
After leaving the private room, Ji Hanlin's consciousness gradually faded. He vaguely remembered instructing his accompanying secretary, Wen Qianning, to take him to the hotel suite.
Wen Qianning was standing outside the corridor at the time, looking slightly stunned and a little confused, but she still quickly took the instruction and helped him into the room.
Ji Hanlin thought he could hold on for a while, and even thought about trying cold water to suppress the effects of the medicine, but his consciousness became blurred faster than he imagined.
And then...
He remembered that he held Wen Qianning tightly with his hands. She squatted in front of him. There was obviously some fear in her dark eyes, but she did not push him away.
What was he thinking at that time?
Ji Hanlin pressed the solar plexus and felt a slight headache.
Perhaps it was the effects of the drug that confused his consciousness, or perhaps it was his body that made the judgment before his mind. No matter what, he only knew that at that moment all the repression in his brain collapsed.
He always prided himself on being calm and self-disciplined, never letting his desires dominate his emotions. But last night, he trampled on all the rules and regulations, pushing a subordinate with whom he had no personal emotional connection... to an irreversible point.
The most ridiculous thing is that Wen Qianning is the most innocent person in this incident. She knows nothing and just happened to be caught up in this conspiracy.
Those who tried to plot against him, none of them would be able to escape easily. However, as for Wen Qianning...
Ji Hanlin closed his eyes, feeling a dull pain on his forehead. The pitiful look of the woman who was bullied by him last night and was on the verge of tears appeared in his mind.
He was the one who let her down. His Adam's apple rolled, and his eyes fell back on the girl who was sleeping beside him. She looked exhausted and was sleeping very soundly.
Ji Hanlin didn't wake Wen Qianning up, but just raised his hand to help her pull up the corner of the quilt that had slipped down to cover her exposed shoulders.
Wen Qianning seemed to have noticed something in her sleep, moved slightly, and leaned closer to him.
There was an unprecedented complexity between the man's brows.
