Chapter 168: I Won't Allow You to Treat Me Like This!

"A private talk?"

Lin Dazhi looked at Meng Ruolan standing before him; her gaze was intense, carrying the authority of one long accustomed to being in a position of power.

However, Lin Dazhi noticed that when she faced his gaze, she seemed to be deliberately avoiding it.

"Yes, a private talk. What, General Manager Lin, are you afraid? Afraid I might eat you?"

Meng Ruolan's voice was slightly husky, with a hint of sexiness. It had to be said that this mature, alluring quality, combined with her noble temperament, was truly lethal to men.

The corners of Lin Dazhi's mouth curled up slightly, and he said with a smile, "Meng, you're joking. What would I have to be afraid of? I just don't know what you want to talk to me about?"

"What to talk about? You'll know in a moment. General Manager Lin, would you mind buying me a drink?" Meng Ruolan raised her willow-leaf eyebrows and said with a touch of provocation.

"No problem. Shall we go upstairs then?" Lin Dazhi said with a smile, then walked to the elevator and made a gesture of invitation to Meng Ruolan.

Meng Ruolan smiled confidently, swayed her supple waist, and walked elegantly toward the elevator.

The private butler politely ushered the two into the elevator, and then the elevator started, carrying them upward.

In the narrow elevator, Lin Dazhi and Meng Ruolan stood face to face, the distance between them no more than half a meter.

At such close range, Meng Ruolan could clearly smell the strong, masculine scent on this man.

She felt a bit dizzy, and at the same time, her body began to heat up.

She tried hard to control her gaze, not looking at Lin Dazhi's face.

She was one meter seventy-two tall, which was definitely outstanding by female height standards.

But standing before Lin Dazhi, facing this man who was one meter ninety tall and sturdily built, she still felt an intense sense of oppression.

Especially now, as this man wore a well-tailored suit with a sophisticated white shirt underneath, looking gentle and refined, yet unable to hide that robust and domineering physique!

Especially when she lowered her head, her line of sight fell right on the man's chest. Two bulging pectoral muscles came into view, stretching the shirt high, and one could even faintly see two protruding little points.

She had never seen a man like this!

A certain instinct within her body was forcefully awakened, eroding her reason bit by bit.

Even she herself did not notice that her face was turning redder and redder, and her breathing was becoming heavier.

Her eyes were somewhat unfocused; she tried hard to look away, but her gaze was like it was attracted by a magnet, always unconsciously returning to that chest full of masculine charm.

"Thump, thump, thump!"

Her heartbeat was like a drum; in this narrow elevator space, every beat seemed to echo in her ears, intertwining with her increasingly heavy breathing.

"Meng, you don't seem to be feeling well. Is it too stuffy in the elevator?"

Lin Dazhi's magnetic voice suddenly rang out.

It was meant as concern, but to Meng Ruolan at this moment, it sounded more like a provocation.

Meng Ruolan opened her mouth, wanting to respond, but found her throat was terribly dry. She reached out in a panic and unbuttoned her collar, trying to make her breathing smoother, but she found it was of no use.

She felt as if she were in a sea of fire, and the strong man before her was the most fiercely burning flame, constantly scorching her!

"I... I'm fine, just feeling a bit hot," Meng Ruolan said in a somewhat disheveled manner.

At this moment, Meng Ruolan was already regretting her decision from just a moment ago!

Was such a man really someone she could control?

Damn it, wasn't he just an ordinary person from the bottom of society? How could he have such an aggressive aura?

How could she, the dignified Beauty Queen of Nan Province and an elite of high society with a net worth of billions, be so disheveled in front of him?

The private butler of the Presidential Suite naturally noticed the abnormality of this female guest, but he maintained his professional smile.

He could, of course, tell that this lady before him had become infatuated, and it was hard to control.

However, she was a guest invited by the distinguished Mr. Lin of the Presidential Suite, and he would not speak voluntarily until Mr. Lin gave the word.

His duty was only to provide service to Mr. Lin.

The elevator finally stopped.

It felt as long as a century; the moment the elevator doors opened again, Meng Ruolan practically "rushed" out of the elevator.

Her steps were unsteady, and her body nearly failed to stand firm.

Seeing this, Lin Dazhi naturally stepped forward to support her.

Meng Ruolan felt a thick, powerful hand cover her side waist. Despite the thin layer of leather clothing between them, the force and heat transmitted still made her body go limp instantly.

Lin Dazhi hurriedly pulled her closer to prevent her from falling.

He frowned slightly and asked with concern, "Meng, are you alright? Are you feeling unwell?"

"Oh my god, this man's voice is so gentle, so sexy!"

Listening to Lin Dazhi's voice, Meng Ruolan screamed wildly in her heart.

She felt the man's hot breath against her ear, and her earlobes turned completely red in an instant.

Meng Ruolan bit her lip, trying to stand steady, but the strength and temperature from that large hand made her feel somewhat powerless.

She shook her head slightly and said, "I... I'm fine, just a little dizzy."

Lin Dazhi helped her back to the lounge area of the room and let her sit down.

"Sit for a while and take a breather."

Lin Dazhi said, then stood up to pour her a glass of warm water.

Meng Ruolan felt that large hand leave her waist, and a sense of extreme emptiness immediately followed.

Every cell in her body seemed to be screaming wildly, wanting to hold onto that feeling from just a moment ago!

Even, wanting more!

"Thank you!" Meng Ruolan took the warm water the man handed her, took a big gulp, and only then did she come to her senses and say gratefully to the man.

"It's nothing. You look a bit unwell, so rest for a while. I happen to have some work matters to handle. If you need anything, you can press this bell, and the butler will come to help you. If you feel better, you can come find me in the study on the second floor."

After Lin Dazhi finished speaking, he turned and left the lounge area, heading up the stairs to the second floor.

Meng Ruolan stared fixedly at the man's back, a look of disbelief flashing through her eyes once again.

"He just left like that?"

"A stunning beauty like me, already like this in front of him, and he just left like that?"

At this moment, Meng Ruolan only felt that her sense of superiority from all these years, her pride from all these years, had been ruthlessly trampled underfoot by this man!

"No, I won't allow you to treat me like this!"

"Lin Dazhi, I will definitely make you pay the price!"

"I want you to kneel at my feet and submit to me!"

Staring at the corner of the stairs where Lin Dazhi's back had already disappeared, Meng Ruolan screamed frantically in her heart!

The knuckles gripping the cup had turned somewhat white from the force!
