Warning: Slight H
On the second evening of Zh ao Yu's leave of absence, Xue Ziang went over to her apartment.
As soon as he walked in, he pulled up the sleeves of her home wear and looked at her wrists, then sighed in relief.
Zhao Yu knew that he was afraid that she would start harming herself again.
But Zhao Yu also knew that she didn't mean much in Xue Ziang's heart now. It's as the saying goes, too much of a good thing turns bad. It is enough for her to occasionally show a loss and have tantrums. If she suddenly turned ruthless, she was afraid Xue Ziang would leave her far, far away.
Looking at the old scars on her arm, Xue Ziang sighed, took her to sit down on the sofa, opened the bag he had brought and took out a stick of ointment to patiently help her apply it.
"This is the scar removal medicine I told someone to get. It works very well. You should be able to get rid of these scars. In the future, don't do stupid things."
When he finished applying the medicine and looked up, he saw she had tears in her eyes and was staring at him in a daze.
"Why cry?"
As soon as he asked this sentence with a smile, Zhao Yu suddenly leaned forward and kissed his lips.
This was the first time she kissed him proactively, and while her movements were not jerky, they still seemed clumsy at the moment.
But he could feel the eagerness and enthusiasm in it.
Reaching his arm around her shoulder, Xue Ziang responded to her more enthusiastically, licking and chasing her with his tongue, quickly pressing her under him.
He quickly pulled off her clothes, stroking her skin and massaging her breasts. The area between her legs were also rubbed back and forth, causing her to tremble and moan violently, he unbuttoned his trousers and pushed the heated desire into her.
From the living room to the bedroom.
From the sofa to the bed.
They continued the unfinished things in the office that day, hugging each other and doing it again and again, changing countless positions, until both sides were exhausted and panting.
The next day, they went to work together, but instead of riding in his car, Zhao Yu drove herself.
She deliberately avoided others and did not want people to know their relationship. She naively told Xue Ziang that in the company, she would prove her ability and advance relying only on herself.
Her mind and her body was still at war, but compared to a few days ago, it seems that one side seems to be better, or more likely, she was falling deeper.
Xue Ziang didn't say anything, he acquiesced everything she did, and was willing to let her maintain her pride and self-esteem.
But at the same time, he still didn't give her a definite label.
Zhao Yu knew in her heart that that label was actually "Bed Warmer".
This was an identity that most people in the world would hate to have, but for her, it was one that she had fought with all her might to get.
"These need to be… sent to Director Xue on the 42nd floor?" Looking at the documents in his hand, Zhao Yu was a little bit confused.
Xue Ziang paused and said, "Let Ye Zi send it."
Zhao Yu's eyes lit up. "Then, in the future, will I…may I avoid seeing Director Xue?"
This of course, was impossible. She was Xue Ziang's assistant, and Xue Zhan was Xue Ziang's boss. They definitely need to contact each other.
Xue Ziang knew her concerns and patted her shoulder. "It's okay, don't be afraid, don't take that matter to heart. My uncle always only has work in his eyes. You can just regard him as a machine."
But words are words, after all, she was seen naked in such a compromising situation, how could she act as though it was no big deal?
So in order to stay in character, Zhao Yu indeed tried to avoid meeting Xue Zhan. Luckily, Xue Zhan also never came back after what happened that fateful day.
Days passed and Xue Ziang and Fu Tao went to see a major client leaving Zhao Yu behind at the company to sort out reports. Ye Zi came out of the elevator angrily, and slammed several documents on Zhao Yu's desk with a loud "Pow"!
"Can't you read? How can you make mistakes even when it is so straightforward?"
Zhao Yu looked down and saw that there was a column of data circled in red in the densely packed table.
"This is not wrong, I have checked the original data, it's just like this."
"If it's not wrong why would Wang Qi explode like that? You obviously put in the wrong data and set me up to get scolded. Did you do it on purpose?"
Zhao Yu smiled coldly. "Why is Wang Qi angry with you? Do you need a calculator to keep count of your own actions in your heart? Who was the one wagging their tongue behind other people's backs, saying that Secretary Wang is so favored because she relies on an improper relationship with Director Xue?"
Ye Zi sputtered both anxious and frustrated. "It's you who needs to count. You want to seduce Mr. Xue with your beauty. Are you so worthy? I'll warn you now, don't get too full of yourself so early. He just sees you as fresh meat now but you think you've made it. How long will you foolishly long for him?"
Looking at the mole under Ye Zi's eyes, Zhao Yu couldn't help but curled up the corners of her lips. "These words, should be returned to Secretary Ye."
All outsiders thought Ye Zi was very special to Xue Ziang because she was the only one who first met Xue Ziang outside and then was personally brought into the company as a secretary by Xue Ziang. Even Ye Zi herself was spoiled and proud, thinking Xue Ziang liked her so much.
But the moment Zhao Yu met Ye Zi, she understood that some people just happen to have certain characteristics that can pierce through memories.
Aside from this, what else does she amount to in Xue Ziang's eyes?
These days, Ye Zi had been holding back her ire, but the more she looked at Zhao Yu, the more fired up she got. Now she finally had a chance to vent her anger, but when the other party returned it with such mockery, her anger intensified, overtaking her reasoning. She picked up the coffee cup on the table and threw it at Zhao Yu.
Zhao Yu guarded against her move quickly, and dodged to the side neatly. The coffee cup flew over her body, and fell to pieces.
"Secretary Ye, this is the office. If you don't like me and want to vent your personal issues, shouldn't you should find another place? Now you smash the cup, in a while, will you smash the computer?"
As soon as Zhao Yu's voice fell, Ye Zi's face turned pale.
Intuitively, Zhao Yu knew that it was definitely not her dry words that caused such a large reaction, so she turned to look behind her and saw the person who panicked Ye Zi to such a degree.
Xue Zhan was standing a mere two steps away from the broken coffee cup, so close that even the leftover coffee in the cup might have splashed on his impeccable suit pants when it broke.
His appearance was somewhat similar to Xue Ziang, but his facial lines were softer than Xue Ziang's. At first glance, it makes people think that he is a very gentle man.
However, Zhao Yu, who had studied his profile in detail, did not think this way. Neither did Ye Zi, who had seen his way of doing things firsthand.
"Xue…Director Xue…" Looking at the man's expressionless face, Ye Zi became even more nervous. "Sorry Director Xue, I didn't see you come in, I didn't do it on purpose."
"So what you're saying is that if I didn't come, this behavior is acceptable in the office?" Xue Zhan smiled faintly, but a cold gleam shone from deep in the pupil of his eyes.
"No Director Xue, she first…"
Ye Zi still wanted to explain, but Xue Zhan's sharp gaze swept her face, and she fell silent.
Stepping over the debris and stains on the floor, Xue Zhan walked directly to Xue Ziang's office. "Give me the report that Wang Qi was talking about, and the original data you just mentioned."
Although he didn't look at Zhao Yu from start to finish, Zhao Yu knew that he was speaking to her, and it was obvious that he had been here for a while. Possibly, when Ye Zi hit the brick wall she rushed down and Xue Zhan personally followed shortly after hearing Wang Qi's report.
"Yes, Director Xue." Zhao Yu took the documents from the desk and followed him into the office.
