Chapter 29 Awake
When I open my eyes, it is already the next morning. The color of the sky outside the window is already very bright. My body is covered with soft bedding. The pillow has a faint sweet scent which exudes a serene and tranquil feelings. When I first wake up, my line of thought is sowhat fuzzy. I’ve the habit of stretching out my arms and waist. Suddenly, I realize there is a serious problem when I see my bare arms - when did I have the habit of sleeping in the nude ah!!?
A sluggish split second later, all sorts of unsightly images from last night rush forth into my mind. That burning soft lips, creamy warm skin and strong buff body …… My whole body becos stiff. Such a surprise ah! I did not expect a wise girl like , ultimately also could not escape the fate of becoming the boss’s xiao mi! (Note: a derogatory term used to describe the mistress of a married man) This unscrupulous and evil wolf actually took advantage of by eating and wiping his hands clean like this!. Not even a bit of dregs left ah! (Note: chi gan mo jing which is the title of this novel. Now you know what the title actually ans)
However …… it seems last night, I was the one who tried to steal from him first but failed. I ended up touching sothing which I should not touch. Moreover, I was the one who did not book two hotel rooms, resulting in us sharing a room ……
Ah ah ah …… from whichever angle, it also looks like a shaless female secretary’s planned seduction of a rich boss drama. This ti even if I really jump into the Yellow River, I also could not wash myself clean! (Note: cannot clear a person’s na)
I curl up my body. I dare not move, dare not turn round and also dare not turn my head but quietly wondering what big boss Lu is thinking and doing behind my back now. Is he still asleep or has already woken up?
Don’t know how long has passed, when I feel slight movent behind . I imdiately close my eyes nervously and dare not even breathe heavily. After a while, I feel light breathing sound getting closer. I seem to vaguely feel there is a burning gaze on my face.
This ti I am even more nervous. How will big boss Lu deal with what happened last night? Normally, what will the boss of large companies in general do? Will it be treated as an unexpected one night stand? Write a large amount check to settle it? Or let be his underground lover from now onwards?
I am utterly confused so I let my imagination run wild. Suddenly I hear comparatively large movent behind , as if he is intending to get up. After a while, I can hear light footsteps sound. Then a mont later, I can hear the dripping of water sound in the bathroom. When I am certain that he had gone to take a shower, I only dare to open my eyes and sit up. I look at the tousled bed sheets in a daze. Weren’t we on the sofa last night? To my surprise, I’ve no recollection when we shifted location! I am upset for a while. Then I could not help but blush slightly when I look at my naked body. I quickly look all over the place for my clothes. I look on the floor and discover all my clothes are scattered around the sofa.
I blush and hop off the bed naked. I gently and quietly pick up each piece of clothing and wear it instantly. The tragedy is that when I am halfway through putting on my clothes, I can hear the sound of the opening of the bathroom door!
Thus I appear naked in front of Lu Jun. He is casually wrapped in a bath towel and his hair is dripping wet. The sparkling and translucent droplets are dripping down to his smooth chest. His whole body emits the fragrance from the shampoo and body wash. He appears refreshed with a relaxed and contented smile on his face. He appears very natural and looks at when saying: “You are awake, do you want to take a bath?”
I nod with a lifeless facial expression, grab the remaining clothes on the floor and rush into the bathroom. I can clearly hear the sound of laughter from behind: “Be careful, don’t slip and hit the toilet bowl again.”
Indeed a jerk ah! After doing such a beastly thing to , he is still so calm and collected! The more I think, the more I feel it is unfair. Thus I beco even more not calm and collected!
In the bathroom, I look at the marks on my body and my face turns red again. I quickly bath in hot water and dressed neatly before I dare to go out. Lu Jun is also already immaculately dressed and leaning comfortably on the sofa. I breathe out a sigh of relief when I see him looking so natural. This is also good as I can pretend nothing happened last night. After all people will naturally believe as his secretary, I was the one who took the initiative to seduce the boss. I cannot afford to acquire a bad na as a vixen.
Thinking of that, I give a fake smile and greet him like usual: “Good morning general manager! How are you?”
Lu Jun narrows his eyes, looks at for a mont and nods slightly: “Very good, I slept very soundly ‘last night’.”
Seeing that he deliberately emphasizes on the two words ‘last night’, I shiver all of a sudden and brace myself to say: “Yes ah, you have a fever last night until you are muddled. You have been sleeping continuously until you woke up this morning.”
He seems to understand the double aning in my words because his face turns cold and looks askance at : “I was not feverish until muddled. I rembered clearly everything which happened last night.”
“Last night? Nothing happened last night ah, haha.” I give a hollow laugh and try to avoid his watchful gaze due to my guilty conscience. I change the topic by saying: “General manager, we should be going back today. The seven days itinerary has ended and the return air ticket was booked for 12 noon.”
Lu Jun does not continue the topic. He evokes a smile, beckons to and says: “Xia Ye, co over here.”
I instantly beco more alert, take two consecutive steps backwards and stare at him: “Why?”
Seeing my reaction, Lu Jun stops smiling. Instead he frowns and says: “What are you afraid of? Afraid I’ll eat you again?”
After hearing what he said, I imdiately look as if I’ve been injected with chicken blood (Note: fervent). Even my hairs stand erect. I clench my fists, storm to his side and rage at him: “You have the nerve to ask what I am afraid of? How can I not be afraid?! After you did such a savage act which is worse than a beast, how can I not be afraid? Didn’t you eat on this sofa last night!?”
He stares blankly at for a while before a smile appears in his eyes. He raises his eyebrows and asks: “Didn’t you say that nothing happened last night?”
I want to slap myself silly for making this confession without being pressed. Even if I want to pretend to be muddled, I also can’t do it now! If I get fired because of what happened last night, I’ll truly be losing my job as well as my body. Misfortune does not co singly ah! (Note: an idiom aning a double whammy)
Suddenly, Lu Jun starts to look serious. He waves his hand and says: “Xia Ye, I think we should talk properly about it.”
My nerves montarily taut: “General manager, what do you want to talk about?”
He rubs both hands together, looks calmly at and says sternly: “I think, after what happened last night, we can’t continue our prior relationship.” Then he pauses, lifts his eyes to gaze at and asks softly: “Do you understand what I an?”
Really like this! My mood imdiately turns to disappointnt and I nod dejectedly: “General manager, I understand. I will do in accordance with your wishes.”
Lu Jun’s face shows a delighted smile. His eyelids flicker with a strange expression: “Very good, what do you intend to do?”
I solemnly and respectfully bow. Then I pledge in a depressed voice: “General manager, you can rest assured that I will hand in my resignation letter right away when we return to the company and will no longer appear in front of you.”
I lift up my eyes and see big boss Lu’s smile froze instantly, as if there is a burst of gloom and cold wind blowing around. I feel a bit numb.
Lu Jun lifts his eyes and looks at with rapt attention. His voice sounds a bit disappointed and cold: “Xia Ye, why can’t you change to a different perspective to think about the issue?”
I look at him in bewildernt. Think from a different perspective? How to change? Use which kind of perspective? How to think? Could it be that I ought to yell bitterly at him to get him to compensate ? However, I am largely to bla for what happened last night. Thus I cannot justify asking him to compensate ah! Moreover, he can easily find any woman with his qualifications. There is absolutely no reason why he would fancy an ordinary small staff like . No matter how I change my perspective, I am still in the wrong ah!
While looking at , suddenly Lu Jun gets angry and snappily says: “Go and pack up. We’ll go back to the company at noon today!”
I look doubtfully at him and ask uncertainly: “General manager, we are not talking anymore?”
He: “Don’t talk to .”
I: “Why?”
He: “If I continue to talk to you, I’m afraid I cannot help myself from strangling you.”
I: “……”
After being distressed in silent for a while, I quietly turn round to pack my luggage. As expected, big boss Lu bitterly regrets making a mistake last night, to the extent of wanting to strangle . = =
The flight is at midday. Since boarding the plane, big boss Lu has never spoken to . His face continues to look black and fierce like the King of Hell. I feel extrely depressed. Although he is considered a diamond (Note: eligible and rich) bachelor with good qualifications, the one who is losing out in this kind of matter is . Thus why is he showing black face ah!
Perhaps it is because an unexpected incident happened on this trip. Although I was away for only a short period of seven days, suddenly I feel hosick and miss my dear mother which is rather unusual.
After getting off the plane, I feel physically and ntally exhausted. I carry my luggage and return ho. The mont I open the door, I can see my mom’s familiar figure welcoming warmly. When I look at her benevolent smile and happy face, I could not help but feel warm in my heart. Family is the best!
Mom cos over with open arms and her face cannot conceal her excitent: “Daughter, you’ve finally co back. I have been looking forward to see you every day!”
Seeing that she is rushing over so enthusiastically, I feel emotionally moved and is about to run over to hug her: “Mom! I also miss you very much!”
However my mother walks past and heads for the luggage next to . While she is opening them joyfully and excitedly, she says: “Finally you’ve brought the special local products back. I told your aunt Liu and aunt Qi that you travelled to Guilin with the boss of your large company but they do not believe . With the special local products, see what else they can say!”
The arms I held out are stiff in the air. Mom, at this ti why are you concerned about the special local products? You should be concerned about your daughter ah.
Perhaps God heard my prayer because all of a sudden, my mom cos over with a crafty look: “By the way Xia Ye, tell mom honestly how is the progress of your relationship with your boss?”
My nerves taut instantly: “What do you an?”
“Aren’t the two of you ……” Mom gives a knowing smile. It goes without saying it is also mixed with hope and expectation: “You are not young anymore, so it is best to have your wedding earlier. A good man is few and far between.”
Wedding …… she must be kidding. Thinking of big boss Lu’s gloomy and terrifying complexion in the airplane today, I shiver all over my body again. Judging from his disgusted attitude on what happened last night, it is already good that he did not fire ! I promptly dispel mom’s intention: “Mom, don’t build castle in the air. My general manager is very eligible so why would he fancy ? There is really nothing going on between us!”
The smile on mom’s face imdiately disappears. She uses an investigative gaze to look closely and intensely at : “Really?”
I exert myself physically to nod: “Really, you’re my mom so do I need to lie to you?”
“You are right.” Mom nods and appears a little disappointed. After thinking for a while, suddenly she stares at and raises her voice: “It does not matter! Just continue to go on blind date. Aunt Li as well as Uncle Bo’s son are both pretty good. Go and give it a try to see if successful. If unsuccessful, I’ll change the candidate again. If once is not successful then go every day!”
“Mom, I don’t want ah! I don’t want to go on blind date so please spare .” Hearing this, my face starts to look sad. Two completely unknown strangers getting together under an ambiguous atmosphere. It is often very awkward. Thinking about it already gives a terrible headache.
Unexpectedly, mom is not pressing hard and pats on the shoulder: “Okay, you can don’t go on blind date, provided you bring ho a prospective suitor to let see within two weeks. No problem, right?”
I say weakly: “Can I say that there is a problem?”
Mom nods: “Yes, I heard our neighbour uncle Wang’s second son likes you very much. Hence, both of you can go and have dinner tomorrow night to get to know each other better.”
I: “……”
After receiving the ultimatum issued by mom, I start to feel sad and worried. Where to get a prospective suitor in such a short period of ti?
