57. Admitting mistakes
Yu Chun's experience shows that he is quite conservative at heart.
Therefore, from a personal preference perspective, he still prefers being in bed; he always feels uneasy and insecure in other places.
He glanced at the living room.
The interior design of Yu Chun's apartment follows a modern minimalist style.
Modern minimalism, simply put, means less stuff, which means the house is spacious and has a lot of echoes, especially the larger living room.
Although the house is well soundproofed, it's midnight and too quiet. If the two of them make too much noise, they might be noticed by the neighbors upstairs and downstairs.
This is the downside of living in an apartment; you don't have to worry about these issues if you live in a detached house.
But looking at that set of dark black modular sofas imported from Italy in the living room, if two people were on them, their posture would definitely be...
Yu Chun stared, her eyes wide with disbelief.
His Adam's apple bobbed, and he unconsciously loosened the collar of his robe.
It seems like changing the location once in a while can be quite exciting!
So he turned around and suggested a compromise: "How about we go into the room first and then to the living room?"
Chu Xiao looked puzzled.
She really couldn't understand why Yu Chun was so insistent on getting into the room.
Chu Xiao has been working at a high intensity for the past few days, sleeping less than ten hours in three days, and her physical strength has long been exhausted.
Although the 16-degree air conditioning blasts of cool air from the bedroom door have dispelled her drowsiness, her muddled mind and exhausted body make her want to rest and she doesn't even think about the romantic possibilities in bed.
If Yu Chun hadn't acted so outrageously this time, she probably would have already collapsed into bed in the chairman's lounge.
Because it was always Yu Chun who took the initiative in the past, Yu Chun would only half-heartedly comply. If Yu Chun didn't take the initiative, Yu Chun would never show any interest. At this moment, she had no idea that Yu Chun would actually take the initiative to think about sex this time.
However, reading between the lines had become Chu Xiao's instinct.
Therefore, she still keenly noticed Yu Chun's unusual behavior.
My gaze slid down Yu Chun's loosened collar, and what came into view was a large expanse of Yu Chun's milky white skin exposed to the cold air.
Chu Xiao couldn't help but recall the silky feel of the touch she had experienced before.
Her fingertips unconsciously rubbed together, and she hastily looked away, only to meet Yu Chun's wandering gaze.
In a flash, Chu Xiao suddenly realized—
This guy... is he trying to use his good looks to get away with it?!
Chu Xiao felt helpless.
Yu Chun used all of her cleverness for crooked and unethical means.
She reached out and adjusted Yu Chun's loose collar: "Then let's go to the room."
...
With a "click," the bedroom door closed, and Yu Chun moved closer to Chu Xiao.
Chu Xiao expressionlessly pushed him away with her left hand.
Yu Chun was very puzzled and leaned closer again.
Chu Xiao expressionlessly extended her right hand and pushed it away.
Yu Chun got excited and went over for the third time.
Chu Xiao expressionlessly reached out and pushed them away with both hands.
Yu Chun looked bewildered: "Why did you push me away?"
Chu Xiao asked cautiously, "Why are you always coming so close?"
Yu Chun asked, puzzled, "Why can't I come closer?"
Chu Xiao replied solemnly, "It's not time for you to come closer yet. We need to keep our distance."
Seeing that Chu Xiao exuded an aura of "stay away, Yu Chun," Yu Chun felt something was very wrong.
How did the female hooligan suddenly become a gentleman?
Thinking about the trending topics he browsed at 2 a.m., his heart skipped a beat.
Could Chu Xiao really be here to settle scores with him?
What should he do?
Realizing the situation was dire, Yu Chun finally behaved herself.
He stole a glance at Chu Xiao.
Chu Xiao stood with his arms crossed, his lips curled into a straight line, his serious demeanor frightening.
Yu Chun had never seen Chu Xiao so tense.
He quickly averted his gaze, scrambling back onto the bed to sit upright, looking as if he had done nothing wrong.
Chu Xiao rubbed her temples.
She was too tired to appreciate Yu Chun's clumsy performance.
Too lazy to beat around the bush with Yu Chun, Chu Xiao calmly dropped a bombshell: "Yu Chun, you're in big trouble."
"The Jianbing Group's technical department has secured evidence of your hiring of online trolls to spread rumors, and the evidence is now irrefutable. It won't be long before the Yu family pays the price for your foolish actions."
Yu Chun was completely dumbfounded.
It turns out it wasn't Chu Xiao who came to settle accounts with him, but the Jianbing Group.
It would be better if Chu Xiao confronted him instead!
He only spread a harmless little rumor, is the consequence really that serious?!
The room was as cold as an icebox.
Generally speaking, a cold environment can make people feel alert for a short time, but if you stay in it for a long time, your body temperature will drop and you will start to feel sleepy.
Chu Xiao was no exception.
She yawned.
I'm too sleepy... I'll do the accounting later when I'm fully awake.
And judging from Yu Chun's dazed look, she's probably destined to stay awake all night.
Since she can achieve the same effect without scolding, she might as well save her energy.
"Is the room next door a guest room? Can I sleep here for the night?"
With a muffled thud, Chu Xiao patted his bottom and left, leaving Yu Chun alone on the bed, panicked and bewildered.
...
Chu Xiao slept soundly until 11:30 a.m. after a good night's sleep.
After nine hours of deep sleep, Chu Xiao felt incredibly energetic. The energy she had expended over the past few days was instantly restored through this sleep. She felt that she could now engage in another three hundred rounds of heated debate with Zhao Ben at the board meeting!
After getting up and stretching his limbs, Chu Xiao took out his phone and checked real-time public opinion and financial market data.
Yesterday, rumors about Jianbing Group spread across major media outlets, leading to extremely pessimistic market sentiment. Overnight, pre-market futures even showed an expectation of a -15% limit down.
Following the release of the three measures, the global live-streamed food safety test at 7 a.m. narrowed the opening drop to -5%.
After the test results were released at 10:00 AM, the stock price rebounded to -2% within 30 minutes.
Ten minutes ago, details of Jianbing Group's transparent kitchen plan were revealed, and when Chu Xiao woke up, the stock price had already rebounded to +1%.
Chu Xiao scoffed softly as his fingertip traced the upward-sloping candlestick chart on the screen.
The first two measures are nothing more than hemostatic bandages.
Thinking of the trump card she was about to use that afternoon, she curled the corners of her lips and put her phone in her pocket.
Chu Xiao arrived at the guest room door, and just as the door hinges turned half a turn, a furry head squeezed in.
Despite having two dark circles under her eyes, Yu Chun smiled ingratiatingly: "Are you hungry? I've already ordered food, it just arrived from the hotel, and the food is still warm!"
Sufficient sleep and the rebound in stock prices improved Chu Xiao's mood considerably.
Seeing this face with almost no visible pores, Chu Xiao couldn't resist pinching the soft flesh on Yu Chun's cheek.
The feel is still as good as ever...
As Chu Xiao rubbed the dark circles under Yu Chun's eyes with her fingertips, she mischievously asked, knowing the answer already, "Young Master Yu, did you stay up all night studying the Criminal Law or the Bankruptcy Law? Have you finished reading 'How to Avoid Getting Your Father to Break Your Legs'?"
Yu Chun sensitively sensed the subtle change in the atmosphere between the two at this moment.
This moment seemed to take him back to the time when Chu Xiao was very tolerant of him.
He immediately knelt down with a thud, hugged Chu Xiao's leg, and burst into tears—
"I was wrong! I'll never do it again! Help me!"
