Chapter 1434 - 1447
"Ruoxi, the boss wants you."
An Ruoxi dashed towards the CEO’s office happily; there’s work to do, there’s work to do.
"Boss, you called for me?" She wore a sycophantic smile, which made people want to flatten her doll-like face.
"Mm."
"What’s your command, Boss? I’ll go through fire and water to fulfill it."
I’ll definitely work hard, improve every day, strive to get closer to the Boss!
After a phone call, An Ruoxi suddenly felt a bit excited. She was about to lose hope, but the call reignited it. She seemed to see checks flying everywhere coming back to her, money rolling in, and no need to worry about her mother’s surgery fees.
"No need to go through fire or swim in water."
Wei Yu secretly laughed but showed no expression. He pointed to his shoulder and said, "Fulfill your duty."
"..."
Duty? What duty? An Ruoxi blinked, her eyes full of confusion and intrigue. Did the boss mean his shoulder hurt? Did he strain himself at the hospital yesterday?
"Boss, did you get a stiff neck?"
An Ruoxi saw Wei Yu twisting his neck back and forth and asked worriedly.
... Wei Yu leaned back in his seat, holding his forehead. Who arranged for such a fool to approach him?
"The company doesn’t support idlers; the only thing you can do is serve me."
Since the objective was to get close to him, he decided to give her that opportunity...
"What’s my duty? Please enlighten me, Boss." An Ruoxi was even more perplexed. Why was Wei Yu acting strange today?
No, actually everyone was acting strange from the moment she stepped in here. Their expressions were rich and varied, like they were using an expression library, full of all kinds of expressions one might want.
"My personal secretary..."
Wei Yu spoke softly and gently, with a hint of ambiguity in his tone, radically different from his usual aloof and proud demeanor.
An Ruoxi couldn’t help but step back a few steps. Why did everything change overnight?
Although she indeed planned to seduce him, she hadn’t even begun her attack, and suddenly she was shifted from an active mode to a passive mode, leaving her unable to digest it all at once.
Why not follow the script? This wasn’t how it was supposed to go. She had planned to shamelessly stick to him, even if Wei Yu seemed indifferent to her...
But before she even got close, why is he suddenly paying attention to her?
"What are you thinking?"
Somehow, Wei Yu had already come to her side. With his hands in his pockets, he leaned slightly forward, his warm breath brushing her earlobe, tickling her and instinctively making her step back, only to be caught by Wei Yu.
"I’m going to the hospital later, come with me."
Eh?
The pace was too fast; she couldn’t even react, totally unable to keep up as she was dragged along by Wei Yu...
An Ruoxi arrived at the hospital, feeling anxious. How should she prevent Wei Yu from discovering her mother’s hospitalization?
Wei Yu walked ahead with large strides, while An Ruoxi followed like a little white rabbit, afraid to raise her head and terrified of encountering acquaintances.
"Oh no." Preoccupied with looking down, An Ruoxi didn’t notice Wei Yu suddenly stop, and she collided hard against a human wall.
"What’s wrong?" An Ruoxi raised her head in confusion.
"What’s up with you?" Wei Yu countered, "From the moment we entered the hospital, you’ve been absent-minded. Tell me, have you been involved in something shady here?"
Shady?
Something unseemly?
No way!
"You’re the one involved in something shady," An Ruoxi saw the smile in his eyes, clearly teasing her, making her even angrier, wanting to go forward and crush his smiling face into pieces.
"Let’s go. And please watch where you’re going next time. You can’t afford to fix me if I get broken."
Bah!
An Ruoxi made a ghost face at Wei Yu’s back, the self-righteous guy!
What An Ruoxi couldn’t figure out was why, despite having elevators, they were climbing stairs, leaving her panting heavily, with her legs starting to go soft, clinging to the railing, unwilling to move.
"No way, I can’t go on. You go ahead; I’ll catch up soon."
Wei Yu stopped halfway up, looking down at her, giving a soft hum and saying contemptuously, "Out of breath from such a small number of floors; women are really pretentious."
"Wei Yu!" Damn him for ridiculing her! No, ridiculing us women!
But no! She’s not even quite a woman yet!
"Fine, I’ll be kind-hearted and let’s take the elevator then."
Wei Yu went back to her and "kind-heartedly" helped An Ruoxi step by step towards the elevator.
An Ruoxi inwardly cried out; she truly just wanted an excuse to slip away to see her mother, not that she couldn’t climb anymore...
An Ruoxi wished she could cover her head with a black cloth. She was extremely familiar with the nurses on this floor, and with each step, someone would give her a kind smile and a starry-eyed gaze...
Though she knew those starry-eyed gazes weren’t directed at her...
Wei Yu stood at the elevator doors, hands in his pockets, glanced at An Ruoxi, and asked, "You know them?"
"Who?" An Ruoxi began to play dumb, although she didn’t know whom he meant exactly or whether he referred to all of them...
"Nothing." Wei Yu chuckled briefly, not saying more.
"Ah!" An Ruoxi pretended to understand, "You’re talking about her, hahahaha, she’s a classmate of mine."
Classmate... classmate...
"Classmate?"
Wei Yu’s skeptical tone made An Ruoxi’s already unstable heart beat even faster.
"..." An Ruoxi chose to stay silent, knowing that no matter what she said, this guy wouldn’t believe it.
"So many doctors and nurses are your classmates in this hospital..."
The elevator doors opened, Wei Yu threw out a statement and strode inside, his expression making An Ruoxi wish she could go up and pinch him hard.
An Ruoxi glared at Wei Yu, wanting to turn her gaze into knives and stab him.
"Turns out you like me this much." Suddenly, Wei Yu bent down, stopping his nose just an inch away.
"What?"
Instinctively An Ruoxi shrank back as Wei Yu unexpectedly approached, causing her heart to race, especially now when Wei Yu had her cornered against the elevator wall, completely dominated by him.
"What? My face is that irresistible?"
An Ruoxi stared in surprise at him. She’d seen thick-skinned people before, but this was her first time encountering someone this thick, truly possessing a face capable of wooing innocent young girls.
"Of course, why else would I like you?"
Wei Yu hadn’t expected her to say she liked him so frankly and casually, causing him to pause for a moment before leaning down again, slowly moving his sexy lips closer.
An Ruoxi held her breath, meeting those swirling black eyes, deep yet bright.
