Jian Suiying knew when to quit while he was ahead. Having gotten his fill of cheap thrills, he had no desire to prolong the battle.
First, lingering any longer could be dangerous. Second, dawn was approaching. If Jian Suilin woke up, he wouldn't be able to explain it.
explain himself.
So the rogue Jian left behind Li Yu, who was flushed with shame and confusion after his sexual harassment, her mind and body reeling from the shock.
and refreshed, he quickly made his escape.
Upon returning home, he had no intention of going to work. He flopped onto his bed and fell into a deep sleep, planning to figure out his next move after waking up.
Young Master Jian had grown up so carefree and reckless, relying on one utterly despicable rule of thumb:
: "He can't kill me anyway."
He slept until past two in the afternoon. The moment he woke and turned on his phone, missed calls and text alerts started popping up like crazy
Most were from Xiao Linzi and Xiao Liang.
He replied to Xiao Liang first. Xiao Liang briefed him on work matters—a few schedule arrangements—then asked when he’d be coming back to work.
After hanging up, he thought for a moment and decided to reply to Xiao Linzi too, mainly to get some info about Li Yu from him. Xiao Linzi sounded pretty groggy, classic hangover symptoms.
"Bro, you finally picked up." "What's up?"
Jian Suilin pouted, "They kept forcing us to drink..."
"You need to work on your drinking tolerance. No man in the Jian family is a weakling at the table. Back when I was covering for Dad
drink for him. Now you'll have to drink for me."
Jian Suilin chuckled softly, his voice gentle. "Don't worry, brother. I'll take as much as you need me to."
Jian Suying snorted with a laugh: "You little bastard, always spouting sweet talk. Hey, where are you? Still at the hotel
?"
"Yeah, can't get up. Headache." "Then... where's Li Yu?"
"In the next room... Huh? Someone's knocking. Might be him."
After saying that, Jian Suiying heard rustling sounds and the rustle of someone getting out of bed. He suddenly felt tense, his heartbeat quickening.
He soon heard Li Yu's voice, sounding tired but deeply concerned. "Sui Lin, are you feeling any better?"
?"
"My head hurts. I don't even want to get up. How about you? Feeling better?"
Jian Suiying heard Li Yu enter and close the door. He said, "I'm okay. I had the lobby buy some medicine. I'll bring you some. Have you eaten? Eat first, then take the medicine."
Li Yu seemed gentle with everyone else, but with him alone, she rarely smiled. Now, she probably even disliked him.
He heard Li Yu ask, "Huh? You're on the phone?"
Jian Suilin let out an "Ah." "It's my brother..." He pressed the phone to his ear. "Brother, it's Li Yu. He woke up before me."
The thought of the look of disgust Li Yu would wear upon hearing his name suddenly made the usually carefree young master Jian feel a pang of sorrow.
Jian Suiying stayed home all day without going out. The next morning, his biological clock woke him promptly around seven. After getting ready, he drove to work.
Even with his thick skin, the thought of seeing Li Yu at the company entrance made him feel a bit uneasy.
Jian Suiying rubbed his nose and steeled himself to enter.
Jian Suiying deliberately cleared her throat.
The two people in conversation turned their heads simultaneously.
Li Yu's gaze was deep and icy. Jian Suiying felt a chill creep over her heart as she looked into his eyes, finding them unfathomably dark.
Secretary Liang wore a look of relief. "President Jian, you're finally here. Take a look at this—we've been waiting for your response."
..."
Jian Suiying took the documents, glanced hurriedly at Li Yu, and strode into the office first. Li Yu followed him in.
Li Yu tilted his head slightly, gazing at him coldly.
Jian Suiying felt uneasy. "Um, let's discuss work matters during office hours. We can talk about other things after work, how about that?"
."
Jian Suiying's breath caught, a strange, stifling ache tightening his chest. In an instant, rage surged through him.
. Not only did you reject me time and again, but you have the nerve to speak to me like this?
Sui Ying's eyes widened as he bent his knee and slammed it hard into Li Yu's thigh. The pain made Li Yu's grip loosen slightly, and Sui Ying seized the moment to shove him away.
. Who the hell do you think you are? If you weren't Jian Suilin's brother, a scumbag like you would get
every time I see you."
Jian Suiying's face flushed crimson with rage as he lunged forward to punch him.
Li Yu sidestepped the blow, grabbing his shoulder with an iron-clamp grip that nearly crushed the flesh.
landed squarely in Jian Suiying's gut. Jian Suiying nearly vomited, clutching his stomach for a long moment, unable to recover.
Li Yu grabbed her hair and glared at her viciously. "What other disgusting things did you plan to do to me? Spill it. Let's see how many fucking lives you've got."
Jian Suying felt as if he were meeting Li Yu for the very first time.
The Li Yu he remembered was steady and reserved, a man of few words but always courteous and measured. Sometimes he even thought Li Yu had
a touch of shyness. How deeply must that Li Yu have been offended to unleash such a terrifying side?
Jian Suiying couldn't fucking understand it. He'd given him a blowjob, served him well, so why did Li Yu look like he'd been raped, full of bitterness and resentment? Fuck!
Jian Suiying glared at him fiercely, then slammed her head hard into his chest. Startled, Li Yu stumbled backward.
elbow strike, delivering every ounce of the humiliation she'd endured straight into Li Yu's gut. Li Yu staggered back several steps before regaining his balance.
Both adjusted their expressions before lunging at each other and wrestling into a heap.
Though both were red-eyed with rage, the fight couldn't help but seem somewhat comical. Not only did they refrain from making
and avoided striking each other's faces.
