Chapter 684: Su Monong Has Gone Mad

The knocking sound……was not urgent, yet carried a hint of probing.

Immediately after, a clear and respectful female voice came from outside the door.

It was Su Monong's female secretary……Ning Xue:

"Director Lin, are you in? I have an urgent document that needs your signature."

As the words fell, a slight "click" sounded from outside the door.

Evidently……Ning Xue reached out and turned the doorknob.

But the office doorknob……did not budge at all——

In the chaos just now, the room door had already been locked from the inside.

Ning Xue tried it and found the door locked.

Ning Xue then lightly knocked on the door again, her tone still respectful: "Lin Yuan? Director Su? Are you in there? The door is locked."

Hearing Ning Xue's voice, Su Monong and Sun Weiwei were instantly startled.

Su Monong's whole body stiffened; the laziness and obedience on her face……were instantly replaced by panic.

Sun Weiwei instinctively stopped her massaging hand.

Sun Weiwei's body trembled slightly, her eyes full of panic.

Sun Weiwei quickly looked at Su Monong, as if seeking instructions……

She was currently disheveled; if Ning Xue saw her……

Adding to that, recalling what had just happened, the consequences would be unbearable to imagine.

Lin Yuan nearby……was also startled by the sudden knocking, his heart tightening.

Lin Yuan instantly sat up a bit on the sofa.

Lin Yuan's bodily soreness……was considerably dulled by this panic.

He instinctively tugged at his shirt, his eyes panicked as he looked toward the door.

Lin Yuan then looked at Su Monong, fearing Ning Xue would break in.

In the panic, Lin Yuan……quickly raised his voice to respond to the outside.

Lin Yuan strove to make his voice sound calm.

Lin Yuan pretended to have just woken up, lazily: "I'm here, I'm taking a nap, Secretary Ning, what's up? Can't whatever it is wait until this afternoon?"

While speaking, he secretly used his eyes to signal Su Monong, urging her to think of a solution.

Su Monong quickly calmed down; the panic in her eyes faded, replaced by a hint of amusement and bold calculation……

Su Monong slowly leaned close to Lin Yuan's ear, extending a finger……lightly hooking his chin.

Su Monong lowered her voice, using……a tone only the two could hear……and slowly said:

"Don't panic, it's just my secretary Ning Xue. Or should I, sister, call her in??"

Su Monong's breath……carried a faint scent of sweat, brushing past Lin Yuan's ear.

In Su Monong's tone……there was full of allure and desire for control.

In Su Monong's eyes……sparkled with a playful gleam.

Sun Weiwei nearby……hearing this, instantly froze.

Sun Weiwei's eyes were full of disbelief.

Yet Sun Weiwei dared not speak further.

She could only clutch the corner of her clothes tightly, staring nervously at the door.

Sun Weiwei, fearing that Ning Xue outside……would notice something amiss inside.

Ning Xue outside……hearing Lin Yuan's response, paused, her tone still respectful:

"Director Lin, I'm really sorry to disturb your rest, but this document is truly urgent and must be signed by you right away, otherwise it will affect this afternoon's negotiations."

Upon hearing this, Su Monong's eyes grew even more amused.

Su Monong, immediately about to rise and open the door.

Su Monong's tone……carried a hint of impatient boldness:

"What's the rush? Sister will go open the door now, drag her in too, and we'll serve you together."

Saying this, she was about to stand up, utterly unconcerned about her current disheveled appearance.

Lin Yuan, seeing this, was terrified out of his wits, quickly reaching out to grab Su Monong's arm tightly.

Lin Yuan lowered his voice, speaking with a hint of helplessness:

"Don't make trouble! Director Su, sober up a bit! Still think things aren't chaotic enough?? I'm speechless!! You two are already enough of a hassle! Women are really troublesome!"

Su Monong, being pulled by him, saw her smile instantly fade.

Sun Weiwei also stopped the movement in her hand.

The two women turned their heads in unison, icy eyes fixed on Lin Yuan.

The two women, in unison, demanded: "Who are you calling troublesome? Lin Yuan, say it again!"

Lin Yuan, under the icy gazes of the two women……felt his whole body stiffen.

Lin Yuan instantly wilted, quickly waving his hands, explaining in a panicked tone:

"Uh……I didn't say you two, I didn't! I mean, this situation is too noisy, afraid of being discovered, not saying you're troublesome, don't misunderstand!"

Lin Yuan, while explaining, grew anxious, sweat beading on his forehead, fearful of angering the two women.

Seeing the two women's expressions slightly ease, Lin Yuan quickly lowered his voice, urgently saying:

"You two hurry and hide, go into the wardrobe, stay silent! I'll first get dressed, go open the door to deal with Secretary Ning, and after she leaves you can come out, quick!"

Su Monong pursed her lips……

Although she was unwilling, she also knew……now was not the time to cause trouble.

Su Monong grabbed Sun Weiwei and hurried to the wardrobe.

The two women gently opened the closet door and slipped inside.

Lin Yuan casually closed the closet door, then carefully checked everything to make sure they wouldn't be discovered, before hastily grabbing the scattered clothes.

Lin Yuan quickly got dressed and tidied his attire.

He took a deep breath, then hurried to the door and opened it.

Ning Xue stood outside the door, holding a document, her expression respectful.

Seeing Lin Yuan open the door…

Ning Xue quickly stepped forward and said, "Director Lin, I'm really sorry to disturb your rest. This is an urgent document that requires your signature from the Wind Control Department."

Lin Yuan forced himself to stay calm, waved his hand, and tried to sound natural:

"It's fine, I'll take a look at the document."

As he spoke, Lin Yuan secretly prayed that the two people in the wardrobe wouldn't make a sound, his heart full of panic.

Ning Xue had no suspicions, nodded, and walked into Lin Yuan's office.

Ning Xue went straight to the desk, pulled out a chair, sat down, and handed over the document she was holding:

"Then I'll trouble you, Director Lin. This document is very important; please examine it carefully when you sign."

Lin Yuan took the document, forced himself to stay calm, and walked to the desk.

He picked up the pen on the desk, ready to lower his head and sign.

But as Lin Yuan bent down, he felt something off under his feet…

Lin Yuan's heart skipped a beat; he instinctively looked down and was instantly frozen stiff, his face turning deathly pale.

All that could be seen in the space beneath the desk was…

Su Monong's hair was still disheveled, a playful smile curled at the corner of her mouth, and her beautiful eyes were also full of mischief…

At that moment, Su Monong was staring at him with a half‑smile.

Lin Yuan's hand jerked, and the pen in his grip almost fell to the floor.

Lin Yuan was speechless!

Lin Yuan could only stand stiffly in place,

After gesturing, Lin Yuan took a deep breath, striving to restore his composure.

Lin Yuan clenched the pen in his hand, bent forward, and prepared to sign the document.

…

Lin Yuan's body instantly tensed as a wave of pain surged through him.

Lin Yuan sucked in a breath of cold air.

Rip! What the hell is this woman, Su Monong, trying to do?

Lin Yuan gritted his teeth,

Lin Yuan dared not move a muscle; he could only stay bent over, pretending to focus on the document.

Yet the tip of Lin Yuan's pen hovered over the paper, refusing to drop.

Sitting opposite the desk, Ning Xue kept her head down, intently looking at her backup document…

But gradually, Secretary Ning felt that something was off.

Ning Xue first lifted her eyes, noticing that Lin Yuan's expression was strange?

Ning Xue furrowed her brows, a hint of doubt and oddness rising in her heart…

Ning Xue instinctively raised her head and glanced at Lin Yuan.

She saw that Lin Yuan was still keeping his head down,

Ning Xue felt it was very strange, but she… couldn't quite put her finger on what exactly it was…

Ning Xue's doubts grew stronger, and she couldn't help muttering to herself: "Weird, why is Lin Yuan acting so weird? Why does this office feel so off?"

Lin Yuan sensed Ning Xue's gaze, and his heart leapt into his throat.

Lin Yuan could only force himself to pretend calm and lift the pen.

Lin Yuan, hastily signed his name on the document.

Lin Yuan silently prayed in his heart: "Please don't let anyone find out, please don't let anything go wrong!"

Sitting opposite, Ning Xue immediately lifted her head, her eyes full of suspicion, and set down her backup document.

Ning Xue looked at Lin Yuan, her tone tinged with concern and doubt:

"Director Lin… what's wrong? Are you feeling unwell somewhere?"

Ning Xue… always felt that Director Lin was especially strange today.

Ning Xue's doubts deepened further.

Lin Yuan panicked the instant Ning Xue questioned him.

Lin Yuan tried to avoid the contact under his feet; cold sweat trickled down his forehead, slid across his cheeks, and dripped onto his shirt, leaving a small wet spot.

Lin Yuan quickly waved his hands and stammered an explanation:

"No, no, it's fine, Secretary Ning… I'm fine… it's just, just a mosquito buzzing around my leg, a bit annoying."

To make his lie more convincing, Lin Yuan, while speaking, deliberately raised his hand in a natural‑looking gesture to cover and wipe away the cold sweat…

Lin Yuan even said with his mouth, "Watch me swat it dead!"

Su Monong's eyes instantly flared with anger as she glared at him.

Ning Xue merely frowned, her tone carrying a hint of helplessness:

"How can there be mosquitoes this season? Director Lin, are you okay? Did you not hurt yourself swatting it?"

Lin Yuan spoke in a flustered tone: "No problem, no problem, I didn't hurt myself—I already swatted the mosquito dead, it's fine, it's fine."

He spoke while secretly watching Su Monong with his eyes.

He feared Su Monong would, after Ning Xue left, come to him to settle accounts.

Under the table, Su Monong rubbed her reddened cheek; the anger in her eyes gradually subsided, replaced by a hint of greater amusement and provocation.

Su Monong lightly pinched Lin Yuan's leg, as if taking revenge, or as if continuing to tease.

Su Monong's mouth corner curled up with a cold smile; she mouthed to him: "Wait, I'll deal with you later."

Lin Yuan forced himself to appear calm as he handed the signed documents back to Ning Xue.

Lin Yuan wore a stiff smile, his voice flustered as he said: "Secretary Ning, the documents are signed—take them quickly, don't delay this afternoon's cooperation."

Ning Xue took the documents, carefully checked the signatures, confirming there were no errors.

Ning Xue nodded at Lin Yuan, her tone still respectful: "Okay, thank you Director Lin—I won't disturb your rest; I'll go handle the documents first."

After saying that, Ning Xue picked up the documents, turned, and walked toward the office door...

Ning Xue's steps were light; she noticed nothing odd hidden in the office.

Ning Xue's figure disappeared behind the door.

Only then did Lin Yuan let out a long breath.

Lin Yuan's whole body relaxed instantly, his legs went weak, and he nearly slumped into the chair...

Cold sweat continued to trickle down his forehead, and the panic in his heart refused to subside.

Meanwhile, under the table, Su Monong had already eagerly pushed aside the desk's barrier.

Su Monong slowly rose, tidied her disheveled hair, and quickly walked to the door...

Su Monong gently opened a crack in the door, her eyes fixed on Ning Xue's retreating silhouette.

A flicker of amusement flashed in Su Monong's eyes, and the corner of her mouth curled into a cold smirk.

Only after Ning Xue's figure had completely vanished at the end of the hallway did Su Monong slowly close the door.

The moment the door was closed...

The amusement on Su Monong's face instantly faded, replaced by a hint of cold dominance.

Su Monong abruptly turned and quickly walked up to Lin Yuan.

She grabbed Lin Yuan's collar and violently pulled him toward her.

Su Monong's beautiful eyes were icy, her tone full of accusation: "You bastard, you hit me pretty hard just now, huh??"

Lin Yuan's cheek brushed against her hair again.

Lin Yuan looked at her icy eyes, his tone full of helplessness and confusion, and he couldn't help but ask:

"What exactly are you up to? Su Monong, Secretary Ning is just here to deliver the documents—stop causing trouble, okay?"

He truly couldn't fathom Su Monong's thoughts, fearing she would do something absurd again.

Su Monong let out a cold laugh, slowly loosening her grip on his collar.

Su Monong's fingertips lightly rubbed his cheek.

Su Monong's tone was icy, yet carried a hint of calculation as she slowly spoke:

"My female secretary is beautiful, capable, good in every way—except for one thing..."

Su Monong paused, the calculation in her eyes intensifying, then continued:

"Moreover I've heard she has high standards for the opposite sex, her eyes are very picky—which isn't a good thing either. To be honest, I've never felt at ease with this female secretary; who knows what she's plotting, whether she'll covet the Su Group, or have designs on you as well?"

Lin Yuan furrowed his brows, his tone full of impatience and helplessness.

Lin Yuan instinctively pushed her hand away, saying: "What does it have to do with me? Whether she's single or has high standards, it's her own business—none of our concern, so stop worrying about it."

He now just wants to quickly end this absurdity and get some proper rest.

Su Monong... seemed not to have heard his words at all.

Su Monong's mouth corner curled up with a meaningful smile.

Her eyes were full of bold calculation.

Su Monong again leaned close to Lin Yuan, forehead touching his forehead.

Su Monong, her tone ambiguous yet carrying an irresistible dominance, said word by word:

"How is it not your concern? I plan to properly cultivate her so she becomes a high‑level executive in the company later—what do you think?"

Beside them, Sun Weiwei had already walked out from under the desk... silently standing aside, tidying the stationery on the desk.

At this moment, Sun Weiwei heard Su Monong's words...

Sun Weiwei's eyes flashed with surprise... but she dared not speak more, merely lowering her head slightly...

Sun Weiwei clenched the corners of her clothes with both hands, her demeanor docile, willing to let Su Monong arrange things, with no intention of resisting.

And Lin Yuan... upon hearing Su Monong's words, instantly became dazed again.

Lin Yuan was like struck by lightning, standing frozen in place, eyes wide, his face full of disbelief...

"Are you crazy? Director Su!!"
