Heading to the Company

Su Chen's mind went blank. At this moment, he was utterly at a loss. He found it hard to breathe.

Finally, Su Chen managed to push away Yang Yuxin, this terrifying woman. Gasping for air, Su Chen quickly drank the water from the cup Yang Yuxin had used, feeling immediately refreshed. It was horrifying, truly terrifying. Thinking back, Su Chen was filled with trepidation. Was Yang Yuxin trying to suffocate him with this method? He had nearly died. Fortunately, he wasn't completely blinded by her beauty; otherwise, he would have been done for.

However, before Su Chen could recover, Yang Yuxin, seeming unsatisfied, lunged at him again, gripping his arms tightly. With no way to use his strength, Su Chen desperately tried to fend her off. "Crazy woman, have you lost your mind?" he exclaimed. "Look where we are. If you continue like this, I'll call for help."

Hearing Su Chen's words only excited Yang Yuxin further. She gazed at Su Chen's handsome face with greedy eyes. "Shout all you want. This is my territory. No one will come to save you no matter how loud you scream."

Of course, Su Chen might verbally resist, but his body was more honest, especially the inner monologue: ​

[.]

Yang Yuxin was incredibly excited. She used all her strength and eventually pinned Su Chen down completely. It had been Yang Yuxin's first kiss.

Since her first kiss was already gone, she felt there wasn't much to fuss about anymore. Seizing this opportunity, she intended to fully take advantage of Su Chen. Regardless of Su Chen's willingness, it didn't matter.

The main issue was that Yang Yuxin was too dangerous. Although Su Chen managed to push the troublemaker away, Yang Yuxin wasn't willing to give up. The two remained in a standoff.

Suddenly, a loud knock echoed through the room, accompanied by angry curses. "Yang Yuxin, you wretched woman, you've been inside for so long. Don't think I don't know what you're trying to do!"

Hearing Qu Xiaoqi's voice, Su Chen felt as if he'd found a savior. Su Chen never considered himself a man of restraint. Otherwise, he wouldn't have been seduced by Su Xian'er. If she wasn't one of the true main characters, Su Chen would have given in by now.

However, Yang Yuxin was different. Su Chen had experienced it firsthand. If he had given in earlier, the consequences would have been troublesome. Su Chen should be rushing to open the door for Qu Xiaoqi.

Yet, just when Su Chen let his guard down, Yang Yuxin shockingly disregarded any code of conduct.

She embraced Su Chen from behind and moved closer to his neck. At that moment, Qu Xiaoqi forcefully entered the room and witnessed the scene.

Yang Yuxin, with her seductive face, flaunted a triumphant expression, locking eyes with Qu Xiaoqi with a smile. After savoring the moment, she eventually released Su Chen, leaving a noticeable mark on his neck.

"Yang Yuxin, you wretched woman, who allowed you to do such a thing?" Initially, Qu Xiaoqi had decided to get close to Su Chen only to counteract Yang Yuxin's provocations. However, witnessing Yang Yuxin's behavior now, rage surged uncontrollably within her. She realized she had always harbored feelings for Su Chen, his impression on her from their youth being too profound. If Su Chen knew about this, he would surely exclaim in astonishment. As the saying goes, a wife should be nurtured from a young age.

Yet, Zhang Li remained unflustered, perhaps she never truly expected to have Su Chen to herself. Su Chen, the person at the center of all this, felt the tension and hostility in the room. Clearly, if he didn't intervene, the situation might escalate.

"Since there's no real issue, let's not linger here. Let's leave," Su Chen proposed. Qu Xiaoqi shot Yang Yuxin a furious glare. She snorted coldly and refrained from further words. After all, Su Chen also had feelings for Yang Yuxin. It was essentially a mutual attraction, so she couldn't say much.

Moreover, Qu Xiaoqi feared that Su Chen would use this as an excuse to further the so-called plotline. Of course, she would not give Su Chen any opportunity to infuriate her. However, just when Su Chen thought everything was about to conclude, Yang Yuxin suddenly licked her pink lips as if savoring the taste.

Su Chen secretly observed everything. But he believed he wouldn't be noticed since it was just a fleeting glance. 

[Interesting, Yang Yuxin smells so good. To be honest, I'm a bit reluctant to part, and Zhang Li's scent seems nice too. I kind of miss it.] 

[Hehe, if Su Xian'er saw this, she would surely be furious.] 

[But what's happening now? The system's standards have become so lax. Despite what happened between Yang Yuxin and me, there weren't even any alerts.] 

[What exactly do these three women want? It seems I've taken all of their first kisses.] 

[This is just too satisfying. The protagonist would surely be upset if he knew.] 

[Yang Yuxin is talking about you. Why stare so blatantly? No need to be this forward, but it's fine, I prefer it passive.]

However, what Su Chen didn't realize was that everything he thought in his heart was overheard by the three women nearby with ulterior motives. Yang Yuxin was savoring the taste she experienced from Su Chen. Damn Su Chen, is this the reward for making me wait for so long? Once we're married, I definitely won't let you leave the bed easily. Yang Yuxin already regarded Su Chen as hers and believed they would inevitably marry in the future. However, she also understood that getting Su Chen's agreement seemed unlikely now.

No matter how much she tried to tempt him, it was in vain. However, with Chen Qing and Su Long's support, it would be a different story. With those two backing her up, she believed that Su Chen would certainly not be able to escape. Every problem could be easily solved. This was where she had an advantage over anyone else.

Zhang Li looked at Su Chen with amusement. She hadn't expected that Su Chen was constantly thinking about that particular matter. 

With an intriguing tone, she remarked, "It seems there are many who are not what they appear on the outside!" After saying this, she stared at Su Chen with a smile. 

Su Chen was taken aback, thinking, 'What's with that look? Why do I feel there's a hidden message in your words? Could she have any malicious intentions towards me?'

As Su Chen was contemplating, he suddenly felt his mouth, which had just caught a breath, being covered by something again. At that moment, he was filled with despair. Not just that, the intensity was even more fierce than Yang Yuxin's earlier advance, causing Su Chen noticeable pain. 

As their eyes met, Su Chen could see the playful glint in Qu Xiaoqi's eyes, as if saying, 'Weren't you complaining about me not being proactive? Isn't this proactive enough for you? Whatever Yang Yuxin can do, I can too.'

Meanwhile, Yang Yuxin was right beside them, watching the awkward situation unfold, leaving Su Chen unsure of how to react. 

"Damn woman, let me go!" Yang Yuxin immediately acted, pushing Qu Xiaoqi away from Su Chen.

"Officer Yang, you surely don't have the authority to intervene in this matter!" Qu Xiaoqi defiantly stared at Yang Yuxin. The anger in her eyes was about to erupt. 

"Enough of your nonsense. Weren't you claiming to be involved in what just happened? Now, come with me for a statement," Yang Yuxin said, hands on her hips, staring angrily at Qu Xiaoqi. In the end, both of them entered the interrogation room without a hint of a smile on their faces.

Only Su Chen and Zhang Li remained in place. Moreover, the condition of his neck wasn't much better either. The more Su Chen thought about it, the angrier he got. Zhang Li observed everything, trying to suppress her laughter. 

She wanted to laugh but couldn't let out any sound, looking quite bizarre. Su Chen's mouth twitched in frustration. 

Growing increasingly upset, he snapped at her, "Zhang Li, you went too far! After all I've been through, you didn't even help me."

"Hahaha!" Zhang Li burst out laughing, her laughter ringing like silver bells. But she quickly controlled herself, fearful that the two women inside might come out. It would be difficult for her to explain if they did. 

"From what I saw, it didn't seem like you were unwilling," she teased. "Besides, don't you usually fantasize about such things? You should consider yourself lucky to have had such an encounter with two beautiful women."

"It was actually three," Su Chen retorted, not willing to be the butt of Zhang Li's jokes.

"You," Zhang Li's lips trembled with anger as she glared coldly at Su Chen.

Su Chen hurriedly asked, "Do I have lipstick all over my face now?"

Zhang Li rolled her eyes and responded, "What do you think?"

"Qu Xiaoqi is alright, the young girl doesn't even use lipstick. But your dear Yang Yuxin, she uses internationally renowned brands," Zhang Li remarked, almost breaking into laughter. Seeing Su Chen in his current state, she found it increasingly hilarious. 

If she didn't have bigger plans in mind, she might have pounced on him earlier too.

Zhang Li made it clear that she's not like Yang Yuxin and Qu Xiaoqi, those thoughtless women. What's the significance of these minor gains now? 

"So, what should I do now?" Su Chen was hesitant to go out and face others in his current state. Even though he's a villain, he still cares about his appearance.

"Let's go to the bathroom, and I'll turn on the tap for you," Zhang Li offered, portraying a dutiful wife image. However, her words caught Su Chen off guard. 

"What? You'll turn on the tap for me?" 

Zhang Li, with a stern face, responded, "Enough talk. Come if you want." Su Chen, of course, followed her. It's not like him to pass up a good opportunity.

Moreover, it seemed there was no chance for Zhang Li to remedy the situation at this point. Su Chen felt no need to restrain his relationship with her. If given a chance, he'd naturally flaunt his dandy side. 

"In a while, let your sister give you a gift," Zhang Li teased, flicking her hair. The feminine scent slowly wafted into Su Chen's nostrils. It smelled delightful.

"You're being so kind all of a sudden; are you scheming something?" Su Chen was somewhat taken aback. His initial reaction was to decline. It's not that he couldn't accept gifts from the female lead, but if it were something symbolizing love, it would be absolutely forbidden.

Su Chen has a sensitive stomach. When Zhang Li became annoyed, she moved to hit him on the head, and he hastily moved to block. Fortunately, Zhang Li wasn't as aggressive as the two women before, otherwise, Su Chen would have been overjoyed. No, wait, he would have been exasperated.

"Your birthday is coming up soon." Zhang Li stood up, bending over to reveal her stunning figure. "You're my most significant business partner. Of course, I need to get you a gift. Tell me what you'd like." 

Strangely, Zhang Li remembered Su Chen's birthday but forgot her best friend Chen Qing's birthday. If Chen Qing found out, she'd probably complain about her being a 'plastic' best friend.

Su Chen took a glimpse of Zhang Li as she bent towards him, and he felt like his eyes were wavering. They kept wavering, and he nearly lost control. 

"Isn't it obvious? Men love powerful mounts. Get me a cool one." Zhang Li chuckled, "Alright then, I'll give you my car." 

Su Chen rolled his eyes, "Your car is a feminine model; I don't want it." 

Zhang Li retorted with a hint of annoyance, "You don't have the right to refuse. If I ask you to ride it, you ride it." Su Chen was left speechless.

It has to be said, Zhang Li was genuinely captivating. Su Chen never believed in the allure of certain postures, but Zhang Li's bent-over position made him reconsider. 

[This young lady isn't bad. Maybe I should consider buying her company and making her my secretary.]

[By then, I wouldn't have to lift a finger. Whatever I need, Zhang Li can handle for me.] 

[Perfect.] 

The most skilled hunters often emerge in the form of their prey. Zhang Li's heart started to race uncontrollably, her expression slightly smug. In truth, she viewed Yang Yuxin and Qu Xiaoqi as competitors. In comparison, she believed her actions were the best.

Zhang Li's delicate cheeks turned rosy, making her appear even more bewitchingly beautiful. "I'm thirsty, get me some water." 

Su Chen handed her the bottled water he had just bought. However, Zhang Li didn't take it and said playfully, "Feed it to me." 

Su Chen had an idea. He opened the bottle, took a sip, and said unclearly with water in his mouth, "Come on, I'll feed you." 

"Get lost!" Zhang Li was in high spirits, her eyes curving like crescents. 

"You said you wanted me to feed you," Su Chen teased, "Missy." 

"Don't call me that!" Zhang Li was somewhat irritated. The thought that the one addressing her this way was her best friend's son sent shivers down her spine. She quickly regained her composure and said sweetly, "Little brother." 

Su Chen admitted defeat, "You win." Being addressed like that by such a beautiful woman felt like a humiliation to him. Zhang Li hummed in triumph. 

What are these two women up to? I don't want to wait anymore, I'm leaving. Su Chen felt it was best to leave the scene quickly.

Damn it, none of these female leads are reliable. Su Chen still harbored a glimmer of hope, thinking if the male lead, Qin Yu, were here, he wouldn't even dare to imagine the man's fate – he might just become the first male lead to die of anger. 

"I was about to leave too. Why don't I take you to my company? After all, you're a major shareholder," Zhang Li said with a mischievous grin. 

"I can't. I have important matters to attend to at home," Su Chen thought to himself, planning to get Su Xian'er to help him draw a bath at home. 

"It's still early, come on little brother, just come with me," Zhang Li was nearly laughing out loud. 

"Enough, okay? I'll go with you," Su Chen said, feeling a bit uneasy. Of course, he was curious to see what the rumored entertainment company was like, and maybe even meet some famous actresses. 

After all, they weren't the female leads, so it didn't matter. In the end, Su Chen chose to go with Zhang Li. The most crucial reason being, he was now terrified of the two women in the room, fearing he might not make it out alive today.
