Do We Have to Take It So Far?

She had been together with her fiancé for many years; how could she have never been kissed?

Blushing a crimson red, Yan Susu replied, "A few times."

She had known Ling Xiusi from a young age. They were childhood sweethearts, growing up in innocence without a care in the world. Ling Xiusi had treated her like she was a piece of breakable treasure to be handled with care, and he wanted to save the best for after they were married.

All they had done was hold hands, hug, and experiment with kissing, never taking it further.

However, as they grew older, they wanted more, so when she turned eighteen, Ling Xiusi just could not wait any longer to marry her.

If that incident had not taken place six years ago, they would have been one of the millions of happy couples that she saw every day…

At that thought, Yan Susu looked sad.

From her expression, Lu Zhanxiu could tell that she had been thinking of her fiancé. Frowning, he demanded in a voice laced with displeasure, "From now on, I am the only one allowed to touch you, got it?"

Yan Susu looked at him, surprised. She had no idea what had brought on this overbearing possessiveness in him.

All they had between them was an arrangement for mutual benefit….

"I don't like anything that has already been touched by someone else."

"Oh." So that was why…Yan Susu lowered her eyes.

"Next Monday, make sure you do a good job." Lu Zhanxiu released her, got up, and left.

Since she had declared that she wanted to build credibility in her own way, he would give her that opportunity.

Watching his elegant back, Yan Susu felt a little confused. Was it possible that he had rejected Su Luoqi's proposal for her benefit?

Still feeling puzzled, Yan Susu returned to the advertising department.

She had only just stepped into the office when Su Luoqi's taunting voice sounded. "Huh, I had thought that she was a big talent poached from somewhere, but I guess the fact is that she used a man to help her get here."

Then, mimicking Yan Susu's voice, she shrieked, "I'm sorry, but I'm not prepared!"

Everyone collapsed in laughter. Earlier, in the conference room, they had been scared out of their wits by the CEO, and it was all Yan Susu's fault!

Yan Susu gave her an indifferent look and, without saying a word, went straight to her desk and sat down.

"Well? Where has all your arrogance gone?" Su Luoqi continued relentlessly.

Yan Susu looked at her mockingly and asked, "Su Luoqi, besides your gift for commentary, do you not have any other skills?"

"What did you say?" Su Luoqi rumbled in fury.

With neither family connections nor influential background, she had only her experience and skills to prove her worth, and she would never let anyone doubt or undermine that!

"In that case, then let's go head to head with our respective skills and fight it out at next Monday's meeting. Game?"

"Empty vessels make the most noise." A little newbie, facing off with her? She was asking to be slaughtered! Full of disdain, Su Luoqi burst out laughing.

Yan Susu goaded her intentionally. "How about it? Or are you scared?"

"Yan Susu, don't blame me for not giving you a way out. Next week, I'll make sure that you crash and burn!"

"I can't wait." Yan Susu looked at her fearlessly. At that moment, she found herself beginning to appreciate Su Luoqi's spunkiness.

"The loser will have to kneel and beg forgiveness from the other party, and then leave the company without a word, never to return."

Yan Susu frowned. "Do we have to take it that far?"

Regardless of who won, this did not bode well.

"Well, scared?"

"Su Luoqi, giving others a way out also means you're leaving yourself a back door for future use."

Su Luoqi looked at her with ridicule in her eyes and scoffed loudly, "If you're scared, beg for forgiveness! Go ahead and behave like a dog with its tail between its legs. All this empty talk serves no purpose."
