Although it wasn't too difficult, it did take time. Yi Tianran didn't dare to take it directly, fearing it would arouse Fu Yunchen's suspicion. So she could only sit there, disassembling it while keeping an eye on the movements outside.
She had only partially unpacked the box when she suddenly heard slow footsteps approaching. Judging by the force and frequency, Yi Tianran immediately recognized that Fu Yunchen had returned. Her hand paused slightly; it was too late to run out and hide!
...
As soon as Fu Yunchen opened the door, he knew someone had been in the room. Although the servants cleaned the room regularly, they were usually very disciplined, but this time was different. The room had been disturbed; some of the furnishings showed signs of being moved.
Seeing this, he turned and walked towards the dark room.
His return was sudden, so the person who came in must still be there. The only place to hide in this room is the dark room.
Thinking of some things stored in the dark room, Fu Yunchen quickened his pace.
The movable wooden door slowly opened.
Fu Yunchen stood at the door, looking over with a somber expression.
The next second, a sweet, honey-like aroma wafted over.
Yi Tianran threw herself into his arms, her fair arms encircling his neck, her clear and charming eyes gazing at him, filled with laughter, "Hi darling, do you like the surprise I gave you?"
Fu Yunchen's dark eyes narrowed slightly: "Throwing yourself into my arms?"
"Wrong, it's keeping a mistress in a gilded cage!" Yi Tianran whispered in his ear, "Mr. Fu, you prepared such a dark room in your study, aren't you planning to play some kind of 'dark room play'?"
The room was dimly lit, and a faint, orchid-like fragrance lingered around his nose. Although the scent had changed, it still carried a familiar aroma. Fu Yunchen's eyes burned as he wrapped his arms around her waist, trapping her against the corner of the dark room. His deep, mellow voice poured into her ears: "You know quite a lot. Why don't you teach me how to play?"
Yi Tianran raised her slender arm to meet his gaze, a hint of playfulness in her slightly upturned eyes, but her voice was disdainful: "Tsk, your innocent look really makes my heart flutter. Why don't you call me 'sister' and become my little puppy..."
Before she could finish speaking, her lower lip was bitten lightly. She pushed him away forcefully and said angrily, "Fu Yunchen, it hurts!"
Fu Yunchen tightened his grip even more, his originally clear voice now tinged with a hoarse restlessness: "Miss Yi seems to have forgotten her current predicament."
This statement carried a hint of provocation, but in order to extricate herself, Yi Tianran gritted her teeth, endured it, and even went all out: "An assistant who doesn't want to seduce the president isn't a good employee."
Fu Yunchen was amused by her self-righteous attitude: "So what?"
"I only did what any vixen in the world would do." Yi Tianran gently tossed her hair, her allure breathtaking. "But my CEO, you're not even tempted."
Fu Yunchen's voice was even hoarser: "Yi Tianran, you overestimate yourself."
"Really?" Her slender fingers, as delicate as bamboo shoots, slid down his cheek to his neck, circling around his Adam's apple. She raised an eyebrow, a glint of light in her eyes: "Not moved by such a stunning beauty? Is this moral depravity, or is the CEO's... impotence?"
Fu Yunchen's breath hitched. He grabbed her waist, lowered his head, and sealed her lips without hesitation. After giving her a severe lesson, Fu Yunchen suddenly pushed her away, his burning eyes still holding flames that had not yet been extinguished.
Yi Tianran opened her hazy, watery eyes, still somewhat dazed. Just now... she felt like her whole body was on fire, her thoughts had been swept away, and she almost lost control.
Fu Yunchen's tie was ripped open, and his clothes were disheveled, which added a touch of unrestrained beauty to his appearance.
He reached out and tucked a stray hair behind Yi Tianran's ear: "Want to continue? Hmm?"
Yi Tianran certainly didn't want to provoke a tiger, otherwise she would be the one who got completely devoured.
But backing down is not an option either!
She leaned closer and said softly, "I don't want to be Miss Fu's assistant, I want to be yours."
Fu Yunchen sneered but did not speak.
"Fu Yunchen, trust me, there are many benefits to having me as your assistant." Yi Tianran painted a rosy picture for him, "Not only what you've mentioned, but also anything else you can't even imagine, I can do it."
"for example?"
“For example…” Yi Tianran hesitated for a moment, blinked at him, “I can do anything you want me to do, as long as you don’t kick me out.”
"Do you really want to stay by my side that much?"
"Yes." She nodded without hesitation. Only by staying by his side would she have a chance.
He stared into her eyes, paused for a moment, and said, "This is your last chance."
There will be another time, but he hopes it really will be the last.
This is why, although he said he would let her be the eldest sister's assistant, he has not made any statement yet.
He wanted her to stay where he could see her at all times, even if it was just to watch her.
Yi Tianran sensed a glimmer of hope and immediately said, "One last time!"
Having found a clue, she immediately ran away, to a place he would never find in his lifetime!
Just as Fu Yunchen was about to speak, three knocks sounded on the door.
The butler said nervously, "Sir, Miss Yi's gift has arrived. Please sign for it."
Fu Yunchen glanced at her: "A gift?"
Yi Tianran was equally bewildered. When did she prepare a gift? How come she didn't know?
She racked her brains for a long time but couldn't figure it out. However, it was clear that Yi Tianran's gift had brought Fu Yunchen to a high level of joy.
Did you even prepare a gift for him?
A slight smile played on his lips as he reached out to tidy her disheveled clothes and hair, casually tossing his tie onto the sofa before happily heading downstairs to receive the surprise she had prepared for him.
The lobby on the first floor was empty; everyone seemed to have gone to look at the gift.
"Is the gift big?" Fu Yunchen turned to look at her. "What is it?"
Yi Tianran brushed her hair aside, gave an awkward laugh, and said, "How can I tell you it's a surprise?"
Who knows what it is, how could she possibly answer that! But being able to divert Fu Yunchen's attention and make him forget why she was in the dark room is a good thing in itself!
Her hesitation was interpreted as mystery by Fu Yunchen, fueling his growing anticipation, until... he saw the enormous "gift" in the center of the garden.
Fu Yunchen's smile froze, his face turning as black as ink in an instant, as Huaihuai exclaimed in surprise, "Wow! What a huge archway!"
Looking at the huge gatehouse, Yi Tianran finally realized her crazy idea.
Um... is it too late to play dead now?
