"Knock knock..."
The crisp sound of knocking resonated.
"Come in!"
A cold, emotionless voice came from the office.
"Honey, are you busy?"
Chen Yang strutted into the office with a cigarette in his mouth, hands casually tucked in his pockets, exuding the air of a street tough.
Lin Yunxi, who was diligently reviewing proposals, was already in a bad mood, especially upon seeing Chen Yang's indifferent, ruffian demeanor.
Her snowy eyes immediately flashed with intense coldness, filled with loathing.
"Is this how you dress on your first day at work?"
"I'm here to work, not to go on a blind date. Besides, does Lin Group really judge people by their appearance?"
Chen Yang took a deep drag from his cigarette, appearing nonchalant.
"But this is the company! The company needs an image!"
Lin Yunxi's face flushed with anger.
Chen Yang let out an awkward laugh and said, "Honey, it's our own company. Just leave the job of maintaining the company's image to you. There's no need for the husband to be so serious—he's just here for a show."
Then, Chen Yang winked at her playfully, his gaze unintentionally landing on the fullness of her red uniform.
Truth be told, Lin Yunxi's beauty is anything but ordinary.
No matter what style of clothing she wears, she's able to carry it well, whether it's casual clothes at home or the OL uniform in the company, it's still hard to conceal her delicate and enticing figure.
She's what you call a natural clothes hanger; everything looks good on her.
"You!"
Lin Yunxi's cheeks turned crimson with rage, she clenched her silver teeth, yet she felt helpless.
She kept telling herself inside: Just endure it! You're the esteemed President of Lin Group. Why let such a man get to you? It's not worth harming your health over!
"Chen Yang, I can overlook other things, but don't call me 'honey' in the company!"
Lin Yunxi said irritably.
"From today onwards, you can only call me President Lin!"
"Why so many rules?"
Chen Yang grimaced, "After all, we're husband and wife. Can't say 'honey', 'baby', or even 'dear'. Isn't that a bit too harsh?"
"Anyway, it's the company's rules and regulations. If it says you can't call me that, then you can't. Why all the fuss?"
"Alright, alright, you're the boss with the bigger chest. What you say goes, okay?"
Chen Yang said helplessly, with a cigarette in his mouth.
"You!"
Lin Yunxi's eyes bristled with fury. If looks could kill, Chen Yang would have died hundreds of times by now.
"Knock..."
Just then, someone gently knocked on the office door.
"Come in!"
Lin Yunxi quickly resumed her domineering CEO demeanor.
"President Lin, Mr. Lan from Lanhai Group is here. He wants to..."
"Just say I'm not in."
Lin Yunxi immediately refused without waiting for the beautiful assistant to finish.
"But Mr. Lan is already here," the assistant said awkwardly.
The man who walked into the office was a young man dressed in an Armani suit, with shiny hair, handsome features, and a gentle, smiling face. He was Lan Yishen, the President of Lanhai Group.
He had been pursuing Lin Yunxi tirelessly. However, love was unrequited as the flower may love, but the stream flows on. Lin Yunxi really disliked this guy.
"Yunxi, is there some misunderstanding between us? Why do you keep avoiding me?"
```
Facing Lin Yunxi's icy gaze, Lan Yishen was utterly unfazed.
The more unattainable it was, the more he considered it a challenge.
Those greedy eyes undisguisedly swept over Lin Yunxi's graceful figure, which greatly repulsed her. She despised this guy; had it not been for business relations, her overbearing and outspoken temperament would have led her to lash out long ago.
"I'm very busy and am not deliberately avoiding you."
Lin Yunxi stated indifferently.
She then turned and walked to her desk, opened up her computer, and continued reviewing the plans.
Lan Yishen chuckled softly, unembarrassed by the cold reception.
He waved at the two burly bodyguards behind him, and after receiving the roses they handed over, Lan Yishen strolled confidently to Lin Yunxi's desk and offered the roses, smiling, "Do you like them? I prepared them especially for you."
Lin Yunxi glanced at them, her brows slightly furrowing as she spoke coolly, "Thank you for the gesture, Mr. Lan, but I do not like roses. If there's nothing else, please leave now; I'm very busy!"
Faced with Lin Yunxi's cold attitude, Lan Yishen smiled like a gentleman and said, "My apologies for being presumptuous. No matter how busy work is, you should take a break. There's a nice restaurant nearby, how about we have lunch together?"
"There's no need, I'm not in the mood," Lin Yunxi refused.
"Yunxi, you know my feelings for you, why do you keep rejecting me again and again? Don't you know I've admired you for a long time?"
Lan Yishen took a deep breath, his hands bracing on the desk, feeling his limits being challenged.
He was used to rejecting others, no one dared to reject him like this!
Slam!
Lin Yunxi slammed her laptop shut with a sharp snap, her icy gaze fixating coldly on Lan Yishen, and she asked indifferently, "Are you done? Can you leave now if so?"
"You!"
Lan Yishen choked on his words.
His facial muscles twitched violently.
"Lin Yunxi, don't bite the hand that feeds you! I, Lan Yishen, have given you plenty of face. Don't spurn my kindness only to be forced to accept the consequences."
Lan Yishen, furious, twisted his face as he spoke, "I know that Lin Group is not doing well lately and you're getting very close with Pulosi Group, hoping they can help you through these tough times. Unfortunately, I regret to inform you that the chairman of Pulosi Group is a good friend of mine, and with just one word from me, your cooperation will be nothing but a bubble joke!"
"Are you threatening me?"
Lin Yunxi's expression changed slightly.
"Heh, without some leverage, how could I negotiate with President Lin?" Lan Yishen purposely leaned his face close to hers, a malicious grin spreading across it, filled with arrogance.
"You're despicable!"
Lin Yunxi trembled with anger.
"Heh, special people require special methods," Lan Yishen said, laughing unconcernedly.
"Lin Yunxi, stop playing the pure maiden in front of me. The women I, Lan Yishen, set my sights on have never escaped."
With that, Lan Yishen reached out to touch Lin Yunxi's face.
However, his outstretched hand was shockingly stopped in its tracks.
To his surprise, his wrist was firmly grasped by another hand!
He looked up to see a guy with a half-lit cigarette in his mouth, grinning at him playfully.
"Trying to hit on my girl in front of me is one thing, but you're already making a move on her?"
Chen Yang looked at him displeased.
"Who the hell do you think you are? Is this any of your business?" Lan Yishen narrowed his eyes, trying to pull his hand back, but no matter how hard he tried, his wrist felt clamped as if by a vise.
"Let go!"
Lan Yishen yelled.
"Beg me."
Chen Yang smiled nonchalantly and turned back to Lin Yunxi, who looked very upset, teasingly saying, "Wife, I've been exploring some new unlocking positions lately; how about we try them out at home? The President on top, me underneath!"
"What nonsense are you spouting!"
Lin Yunxi's face flushed red, annoyed by his untimely joking.
