"Living together, what else could it be if not cohabitation?" Chi Jun'an smiled faintly.
"You..." Ji Xiaonuan was too flustered by his teasing to say anything.
"Alright, I need to get to work." Chi Jun'an's voice softened a bit. "Xiaoxi, feel free to use anything in there."
"Okay." Ji Xiaonuan hung up the phone.
She walked into the lounge and couldn't help but be amazed.
Chi Jun'an really knew how to enjoy life. His lounge was much more fully - equipped and more comfortable than the staff lounge. It even had a bathroom.
Entering the bathroom, Ji Xiaonuan put the clothes into the washing machine.
She felt a bit thirsty, so she went back to the lounge and opened the refrigerator. There were many drinks in it. Seeing a very beautiful pink bottle, she thought it was a beverage, so she took it out, unscrewed the cap and took a sip. The drink was sweet and sour, with a fresh fruit aroma. It was very delicious, and Ji Xiaonuan couldn't help but drink half a bottle more.
Suddenly, Ji Xiaonuan was stunned.
Wasn't she supposed to go to the Human Resources Department to complete the employment formalities?
She had actually forgotten such an important thing!
Quickly putting the drink back in the refrigerator, Ji Xiaonuan opened the door of the lounge. Just as she was about to go out, her face changed, and she immediately hid back in the lounge and quickly closed the door!
Goodness!
When she came in, she had forgotten to lock the door of the president's office.
Just now, she had seen someone push the door open.
Ji Xiaonuan really didn't want to be seen by other people in the Chi Corporation. After all, she was in Chi Jun'an's lounge now, and it would be hard to explain.
But it seemed that the person outside had already noticed her. Ji Xiaonuan only heard the sound of high - heels, getting closer and then further away, and finally stopping outside the lounge door.
What should she do?
Ji Xiaonuan was anxious and awkward. If the person outside asked her something later, should she respond or not?
"Brother Muchen," Yang Wanrong said sadly, "do you really have to avoid me like this?"
Ji Xiaonuan raised her eyebrows in surprise. Seriously? It was actually Yang Wanrong outside? It seemed that Yang Wanrong had mistaken her for Chi Jun'an.
Forget it. She'd just hide behind the door and wait for the clothes to be washed.
Having a conflict with Yang Wanrong on her first day at the Chi Corporation was not what she wanted.
Outside the door, Yang Wanrong continued, "Brother Muchen, do you remember? When I was in high school, there was a boy who pestered me and followed me around all day. Later, when you found out, you beat him up so badly that he never dared to come near me again.
And another time, we were at a bar. A playboy tried to take advantage of me. You fought with them to protect me. But there were a lot of them, and they even had knives. Although you won in the end, you still had to stay in the hospital for over a week."
Ji Xiaonuan stood inside the door, listening with great interest.
Obviously, this was Chi Jun'an's past. She should have been a bit jealous, but now, she just felt a bit light - headed, as if she couldn't get angry at all.
"Brother Muchen, at that time, I swore in my heart that since you risked your life for me, I've decided that you're the one for me in this life." Yang Wanrong sobbed. "You actually liked me back then, right? We used to be so close. How did we end up like this?"
Leaning against the door, Ji Xiaonuan wondered if she should respond to Yang Wanrong or just open the door and face her directly.
"I've loved you for so many years. My heart and my body only belong to you. Brother Muchen, I'm not greedy. I don't expect to possess you completely. As long as you let me stay by your side, I don't care if I have no status." Yang Wanrong said emotionally.
Even though she sounded so sincere, Ji Xiaonuan somehow felt like laughing.
She suddenly wanted to know what expression Yang Wanrong would have if she knew that the one listening to this heartfelt confession was not Chi Jun'an but her.
"Brother Muchen, why won't you respond to me? Are you afraid that you'll be tempted when you see me?" Yang Wanrong said with tears in her eyes. "Even if you want to reject me, please come out and say it to my face. If you don't come out, I'll wait here outside the door. Brother Muchen, I'm yours."
After that, there was no sound outside.
Ji Xiaonuan waited inside the door, feeling a bit impatient. Was Yang Wanrong just waiting outside silently like this?
Suddenly, she saw a peephole on the door and looked through it with delight.
Yang Wanrong was indeed standing there, but she was taking off her clothes one by one.
Ji Xiaonuan was so shocked that she staggered. She quickly held onto the door, but there was a dull thud.
Yang Wanrong outside had taken off all her clothes. She smiled charmingly and said, "Brother Muchen, I know you're watching. Open the door..." Just then, the door of the president's office opened. Hearing the noise, Yang Wanrong turned around in surprise and saw Chi Jun'an and Han Siyuan walking in together.
Facing each other, Yang Wanrong looked at Chi Jun'an in disbelief, unable to say a word.
"What are you doing here?" Chi Jun'an frowned unhappily.
Yang Wanrong let out a scream, picked up her clothes from the floor with a pale - faced look, and covered her private parts.
Han Siyuan finally came to his senses and quickly said, "President, I'll go get the documents first!"
With that, he left the president's office in a hurry.
"What on earth are you doing?" Chi Jun'an's frown deepened.
"Brother Muchen, you just came back. Who's in the lounge?!" she asked, ashamed and angry.
"Sorry, you've been confessing to the wrong person." Ji Xiaonuan opened the door of the lounge with a smile and leaned against the door unsteadily.
Chi Jun'an's eyes fell on Ji Xiaonuan, and his eyebrows couldn't help but furrow slightly.
"You, you..." Yang Wanrong pointed at Ji Xiaonuan in panic and anger. She was trembling with rage but couldn't say anything!
She had said so much, and it had all been heard by Ji Xiaonuan?
Why was this woman here?!
Did that mean Ji Xiaonuan had been laughing at her all along? It was unbearable for her to make such a fool of herself in front of her rival!
"Aren't you cold?" Seeing that she still refused to put on her clothes, Ji Xiaonuan asked with a faint smile.
"Mind your own business!" Yang Wanrong shouted angrily.
"Okay, okay. I don't care," Ji Xiaonuan smiled even more happily. "I just think your waist is a bit thick. You should exercise more. And your arms have some extra flesh too..."
"You...!" Yang Wanrong was furious. She didn't mind Chi Jun'an seeing her body, but she couldn't stand being criticized by Ji Xiaonuan like this.
She put on her clothes as quickly as possible and ran out of the office, ashamed and angry.
"Hahaha..." Leaning against the door, Ji Xiaonuan laughed without much grace.
Chi Jun'an still had a frown on his face as he came up to Ji Xiaonuan.
Ji Xiaonuan staggered, and he reached out to support her.
"What's wrong? Are you unhappy?" Ji Xiaonuan stretched out her finger and playfully lifted his chin.
