When Xue Ziang's video call came in, Zhao Yu had just finished sending a text to Xu Chengyan's secretary.
[Brother Lu Bin, are you off work now?]
[Your boss Mr. Xu, left his clothes here, this stinky man, I don't want to give it to him, how about you come get it for him]
After forcibly adding him as a friend at the airport previously, he still hadn't blocked her. Now that she sent a photo as evidence, she believed Lu Bin will not ignore her.
Xue Ziang was still neatly dressed in a suit, with a hotel room in the background. The meeting had probably just ended.
"Have you eaten?"
Zhao Yu shook her head. "The takeout hasn't been delivered yet."
Xue Ziang put his phone on the cabinet, untied his tie, and stared at the screen. "How's your hand? Let me see."
Zhao Yu obediently pointed his palm at the camera: "It already healed."
"There are still scars, remember to apply scar medicine."
Seeing him take off his suit and change into more casual clothes, Zhao Yu smiled and asked, "Mr. Xue has plans for tonight?"
"They arranged some games, I'm going to join in the fun."
"Is it the type of game with many beautiful women?"
Xue Ziang smiled at the screen. "What? Are you jealous?"
"No."
Xue Ziang paushed buttoning his shirt seeing she did not mean what she said, he smugly patted his firm six-pack abs. "This, will be saved for you, nobody else is allowed to touch."
"Only a ghost would believe you."
"Don't believe me? You'll know when I get back." Xue Ziang smiled meaningfully, "These days I have been storing so much energy I'm afraid you won't be able to bear it."
Hearing his suggestive words, Zhao Yu blushed and glared at him unceremoniously. "Your filthy brain only has room for these dirty thoughts."
"If you don't have dirty thoughts in mind, how could you know my words are dirty? Assistant Zhao, your thoughts are not pure, are you coveting your boss's beautiful body again?"
They hung up the video call only after Xue Ziang had gone out. Alone, Zhao Yu saw Lu Bin's reply from ten minutes earlier:
[Please give me the address, I will come get it now]
Zhao Yu casually sent him the address of a restaurant and went out after dressing up.
When Lu Bin arrived at the booth reserved by Zhao Yu, the food Zhao Yu had ordered was already on the table.
Seeing him push the door to come in, she immediately greeted him warmly to sit down. "We will leave after eating."
Lu Bin politely refused: "No, I'll go back to eat, please give me Mr. Xu's clothes."
Zhao Yu looked at him innocently: "But the clothes are in my car. If you don't help me finish the meal, how can I have the strength to retrieve them for you?"
She was shamelessly playing him.
Lu Bin hesitated and sat down opposite her: "I thought Miss Zhao asked me to come here because you and your friends happened to be eating here."
"Yeah." Zhao Yu winked at him slyly, "Are you not my friend? I inconvenienced Secretary Lu by inviting you all the way here, I must treat you to dinner."
"I am responsible for both Mr. Xu's public and private affairs. This is part of my job."
"Your boss's clothes are with me, tell me, do you think I slept with him?" Zhao Yu rested her head in her hands, looking at him with a smile, "But no, your boss is too difficult to catch. I decided to give up. Starting today, I will chase you instead."
Lu Bin had just lifted the teacup up to his mouth but after hearing her last sentence, he almost sprayed the contents on her face.
Ignoring his shocked and horrified expression, Zhao Yu continued to stare at him. "I'm not kidding, from now on, I want to chase you."
Lu Bin's face turned red and he immediately fled after eating.
Zhao Yu really did as she said.
Early the next morning, as soon as Lu Bin parked the car in the parking space, Zhao Yu got out of the car next to him, forced a bag of breakfast into his hands, and smiled at him. "This special breakfast was made of love for you. You must eat it all."
Lu Bin held the breakfast and once again outmaneuvered, fled.
At lunch, my colleagues were noisily ordering takeout, a group of deliverymen with takeout boxes in hand suddenly delivered a sumptuous lunch. They very loudly announced that it was Lu Bin's girlfriend, Ms. Zhao, who had treated everyone, causing the whole office to erupt in cheers. They then all proceeded to gossip about Lu Bin and his wealthy girlfriend.
[What on earth are you trying to do]
[I'm chasing you]
Looking at Zhao Yu's reply on the WeChat interface, Lu Bin was speechless.
For three days, Zhao Yu insisted on serving breakfast in person, ordering lunch, and afternoon tea for Lu Bin's colleagues.
Finally, on the fourth morning, Xu Chengyan appeared when she was forcing Lu Bin to take breakfast.
Looking at Zhao Yu, who was holding Lu Bin's arm in the underground parking lot, Xu Chengyan sneered, "What game is Miss Zhao playing?"
Zhao Yu smiled frankly. "Chasing a man."
"Oh?" Xu Chengyan raised his eyebrows slightly, "Chasing which man?"
"Naturally it's Mr. Xu's secretary." Zhao Yu looked at him amused. "Don't tell me Mr. Xu thinks it is you I am after?"
Xu Chengyan didn't answer, but the triumph and ridicule on his face already said it all.
Zhao Yu smiled and said, "Since Mr. Xu already knows who I am, I don't dare to think about doing anything wrong with you. Don't worry, I know myself. A person of Mr. Xu's status, I cannot even hope to climb that high, but Lu Bin and I, an assistant and a secretary, are a very good match."
Xu Chengyan still looked at her with contempt.
Zhao Yu smiled deeper. "Is Mr. Xu upset? Although Lu Bin is your secretary and personal assistant, he has the right to fall in love, right? I also have the right to pursue him, right?"
Xu Chengyan chuckled and walked to the elevator. "You both do as you please."
Lu Bin was terrified.
He was definitely going to obey the boss, but the boss didn't seem to request anything from him. It really seemed like it was as Zhao Yu said, they could do what they wanted as their right.
He had also verbally rejected Zhao Yu, but she didn't listen at all, and he couldn't bear to do any tougher things. Also, every time she got close to him, he indeed got flustered and his reasoning collapsed.
Of course, he knew that Zhao Yu didn't really want to chase him, but as an NPC who was being used, besides being manipulated at the mercy of others, what else could he do?
That evening, Zhao Yu ran to Yicheng Technology to wait for Lu Bin downstairs as usual and invited him to dinner.
Lu Bin accompanied Xu Chengyan to work overtime. The two took the elevator downstairs together. As soon as they came out, Zhao Yu not caring about time or place rushed up and took Lu Bin's arm. "Today we'll go to Xinglong Square and eat at the most famous restaurant for couples. I already booked us a table."
Lu Bin glanced nervously at the boss next to him and was dragged towards her car by Zhao Yu before he spoke.
When the car door opened, Zhao Yu was about to shove in the bewildered Lu Bin, but a powerful arm suddenly grabbed her wrist.
The corners of Xu Chengyan's lips raised slightly. "Don't you just want me to take the bait? I'll play with you, do you dare?"
