Chapter 685: Su Monong's Mission

Su Monong asked playfully, "Oh, why not?"

Lin Yuan took a deep breath, suppressing the panic and helplessness welling up inside him.

Lin Yuan locked eyes with Su Monong and refused again unequivocally:

"No, Director Su, you must not mess around! Secretary Ning is innocent; she's just your secretary—we can't drag her into this. No matter what, I will not agree to this!"

Lin Yuan's stance was firm, with no intention of backing down.

Even in the face of Su Monong's domineering attitude.

Lin Yuan, too, did not want to let her continue her nonsense.

Upon hearing this, Su Monong not only didn't get angry—she instead… curled the corner of her mouth into a… richer, playful sneer.

The teasing in Su Monong's eyes deepened further…

She slowly turned her body, letting her gaze… fall on the meekly standing Sun Weiwei beside her.

Su Monong's tone… carried a hint of lazy probing as she softly asked:

"Good little sister, tell me—have I been messing around? I just want another one of our own to attend to Lin Yuan properly. Does that count as messing around?"

Sun Weiwei's delicate body tensed; she instinctively lifted her head and glanced at Su Monong.

Sun Weiwei quickly lowered her head again.

Sun Weiwei bit her lip, her tone respectful… yet with a touch of flattery, and she hurriedly said:

"No messing around, Queen Sister—you've always been proper and upright! What you're doing is for all of our benefit; how could that be considered messing around?"

Sun Weiwei dared not show the slightest defiance, so she could only go along with Su Monong's words…

Sun Weiwei feared angering Su Monong and exposing her own weakness.

Upon hearing this, Su Monong burst into a giggle.

Her laughter was full of triumph and playfulness.

Su Monong slowly stepped forward and gently patted Sun Weiwei's cheek.

Su Monong's tone was affectionate… with a hint of indulgence:

"Good little sister, you spoke wonderfully—you really know how to cheer me up. Come, say it again, let me be happy once more."

Sun Weiwei's cheeks flushed slightly…

Feeling Su Monong's touch, her body tensed again.

Sun Weiwei, however, dared not hesitate even a bit, and quickly lifted her head.

Sun Weiwei's eyes were respectful, and she repeated it once more, her tone even more flattering than before:

"Queen Sister, you haven't messed around; you've always been proper and upright. Everything you do is for our good—it's a blessing for me and Lin Yuan."

Su Monong smiled satisfied, reached out and gently stroked Sun Weiwei's hair, as if soothing a docile little cat.

Su Monong's eyes were full of satisfaction.

Su Monong turned her head to look at Lin Yuan, whose face showed resistance.

Su Monong's tone… carried a hint of provocation:

"Look, even Weiwei says that—I haven't been messing around. Lin Yuan, stop being stubborn, just obey and bring Ning Xue in too; the four of us can stay together nicely, isn't that good?"

Lin Yuan watched the scene before him, speechless yet helpless——

Su Monong was domineering and overbearing, while Sun Weiwei merely obeyed……

The two played off each other, leaving Lin Yuan utterly without room to rebut.

Lin Yuan furrowed his brows, his voice full of helplessness: "You two are utterly unreasonable! Even if Weiwei says that, I still won't agree—this matter is not up for negotiation!"

Seeing this, Sun Weiwei hurriedly stepped forward and gently tugged at Lin Yuan's sleeve.

Sun Weiwei's tone was humble… with a hint of persuasion:

"Lin Yuan, don't provoke the Queen Sister's anger—she's also doing this for our good, so just agree to her request; otherwise… otherwise, if she gets angry, the consequences will be severe."

While speaking, Sun Weiwei secretly gave Lin Yuan a glance, signaling him not to resist further.

Sun Weiwei feared that if Su Monong lost her temper, it would implicate her and her father.

Su Monong… watching Sun Weiwei's obedient, flattering demeanor, felt very pleased.

Su Monong… also glanced at Lin Yuan's clenched-teeth, helpless expression.

Su Monong burst into a giggle.

Her laughter was filled with triumph and ostentation.

At this moment, Su Monong shed some of her coldness, gaining a carefree laziness… and domineering presence.

Su Monong stopped wasting words, stepped forward, pressed her hand on Lin Yuan's shoulder, and at the same time signaled Sun Weiwei to stay put, speaking in a stern, forceful tone: "Speak plainly, don't waste time—I sought you out because I have an important matter to discuss."

Lin Yuan's whole body tensed; he instinctively tried to dodge her hand, brows locked as he said: "Director Su, whatever it is, we can talk properly—there's no need for this."

Sun Weiwei stood to the side, her demeanor restrained, hands lightly folded in front of her, eyes full of obedience, making no extra movements—she merely watched the two silently, waiting for Su Monong to speak.

Su Monong withdrew her hand from Lin Yuan's shoulder, her tone still carrying an unquestionable dominance: "I don't have time to waste on small talk—regarding Sun Weiwei's loyalty to me, I need her to demonstrate absolute sincerity…"

She then deliberately pinched Lin Yuan's arm.

She turned her head to Sun Weiwei, her tone softened somewhat but still carried a demand: "Weiwei, tell me how you will be loyal to me."

Sun Weiwei quickly nodded, her voice soft yet clear, without any shyness, only earnest: "Director Su, I'm sorry, I am willing… to offer genuine sincerity…"

Su Monong crossed her arms, her gaze sweeping over both of them, her tone suddenly easing as a hint of playfulness flickered in her eyes, she looked at Sun Weiwei with a half-smile: "Alright, no more small talk—the plan and data must be submitted this afternoon. However, Weiwei, you just said you were negligent; how should you pay a price to make up for your mistake?"

Sun Weiwei startled, then quickly lowered her head, her tone still obedient: "Director Su, however you say I should pay, it's fine—I'll follow your orders."

Su Monong chuckled playfully: "Oh, how to pay? Help me wash my feet."

Sun Weiwei lifted her eyes to Su Monong for a glance, then quickly lowered her head, responding softly: "I'll continue helping you wash your feet, as compensation for my oversight."

As soon as her words fell, she turned and walked to the tea room in the corner of the office, soon returning with a warm foot-washing basin; the water level was moderate, and it also held a mugwort sachet to ease fatigue.

Seeing this, Su Monong walked over to the sofa, sat down with her legs naturally extended, and said in a tone of lazy authority: "Not bad, you're being sensible."

Sun Weiwei carried the foot-washing basin, carefully walked to Su Monong's front and squatted down, gently helping her take off her socks and shoes, placing her feet into the warm water, her fingertips lightly rubbing, her expression serious and respectful, without the slightest complaint.

Her movements were light, avoiding the thin callus on Su Monong's ankle, with moderate pressure, just enough to relieve the fatigue from prolonged sitting.

Su Monong closed her eyes, enjoying the comfort, a hint of playful smile at the corner of her mouth, then suddenly opened her eyes to look at Lin Yuan standing not far away, her tone carrying an unquestionable authority: "Lin Yuan, what are you doing standing there? Come over."

Lin Yuan startled, subconsciously frowned: "Director Su, I still need to revise the plan; if there's anything, let me finish and we'll talk later."

"The plan isn't urgent right now." Su Monong opened her eyes, glanced at him, tone tinged with teasing: "Since Weiwei is making up for her mistake, let's do it thoroughly—wash my feet, then wash yours too; it counts as relieving your work fatigue."

Lin Yuan's face stiffened, he quickly waved his hand to refuse: "No need, Director Su, I can do it myself, no need to trouble Weiwei." He really wasn't used to such an arrangement, let alone having Sun Weiwei help wash his feet, his heart full of resistance.

Su Monong, however, remained unmoved, her tone growing more forceful: "If I tell you to come over, you come over—what's with all the nonsense? This isn't a bother; it's letting Weiwei properly make amends, and letting you take a break, don't stay so tense."

So, Sun Weiwei took over the foot-washing basin, took off Lin Yuan's leather shoes, and began to wash his feet……%

【The following content is purely about foot-washing, please don't think dirty……】

……

No words all night……

The next noon.

Sunlight filtered through the office blinds, casting mottled light and shadow.

Lin Yuan's office Li, had already returned to its former tidiness.

It seemed…… yesterday's absurdity and chaos…… had never happened.

Lin Yuan at this moment, was wearing a suit, sitting at his desk…… processing documents.

Just then, the office door was suddenly knocked lightly.

"Come in." Lin Yuan replied lightly.

The office door was pushed open.

Ning Xue walked to the desk in high heels.

She gently placed the folder on the desk, leaning slightly forward.

Ning Xue said respectfully: "Director Lin, hello. Director Su asked me to inform you that there is a contract for a pharmaceutical factory that requires you to go on a two-day business trip with me to handle matters on site; the specific itinerary and contract details are all in this folder."

Lin Yuan heard this, fell silent for a moment.,

Lin Yuan raised his eyes…… looked toward Ning Xue.

Lin Yuan's tone…… carried a hint of hesitation, he slowly said:

"I understand, please leave it here for now; I'll consider this matter and get back to you later."

He did not agree immediately.

Lin Yuan wanted to first clarify Su Monong's true intention, to avoid falling into her schemes again.

Ning Xue stood up and left the office.

After Ning Xue left, Lin Yuan then placed a call to Su Monong.

"Hey, you jerk, missed me? Sis prepared some benefits for you, how are they?"

On the phone, Su Monong's voice carried a hint of teasing; even through the line one could feel her smugness.

"Benefits?" Lin Yuan's voice full of helplessness, he gripped the phone and questioned: "Director Su, don't give me this act! I ask you, what exactly are you up to?! Can't you stop messing around? Secretary Ning is innocent, don't drag her into this!"

Lin Yuan really…… couldn't tolerate Su Monong's absurdity.

Su Monong, time and again, dragged innocent women…… into this chaos.

On the phone, Su Monong's voice sounded faint: "Because, after the manager's incident with Sun Licheng and his daughter, I now have no one I can trust around me. So I want to develop my secretary Ning Xue into someone I can trust."

He paused, on the phone Su Monong's tone…… carried a hint of complexity, she continued:

"Ning Xue is my most intimate female secretary by my side, daily contacting me and accessing the company's core secrets; her position is special, so I don't trust her either. I dare not gamble, nor can I afford to—if she harbors ulterior motives, for me and the Su Group it would be a disaster."

Lin Yuan gripped the phone, he had been silent for a while, his voice full of fatigue, he slowly asked: "Director Su, is there really no other way? Must we do it this way? Secretary Ning is innocent; can't we cultivate and trust her in another way?"

Lin Yuan hoped to change Su Monong's mind and let Ning Xue go.

From the earpiece…… came Su Monong's unquestionable voice: "No. Lin Yuan, I've already decided; this is the only way."

On the phone, Su Monong paused, her tone gaining a hint of calculation, she added: "Moreover, I've long found out that Ning Xue is currently single, without a boyfriend. She was previously…… deeply hurt by that rich-second-generation boyfriend, still hasn't emerged from the shadow; now is exactly her emotional vacancy, and also the best time to win her over."

On the phone, Su Monong's laughter rang out again, tinged with teasing and triumph……

Su Monong's tone ambiguous yet forceful: "I've already set up the conditions for you—two days of business trip, just the two of you, no one to disturb; whether you can win her over is up to you."

On the phone, her voice full of a sense of control……

She seemed…… already certain that Lin Yuan would definitely follow her arrangements.

Before Lin Yuan could rebut……

On the phone, Su Monong again lowered her voice, saying word by word:

"Lin Yuan, remember: your task is to make her your woman. Once she becomes yours, you'll have leverage in our hands, then I can fully control her, and she can truly let down her guard, becoming one of us, forever loyal to us. Lin Yuan, do you understand? This is no joke; it's a must-do."

Lin Yuan, after hearing Su Monong's words, instantly fell into silence.

In the earpiece…… only Su Monong's faint breathing remained.

Meanwhile, Lin Yuan's heart had already been overturned.

Lin Yuan opened his mouth, wanting to say something, but didn't know what to say.

Lin Yuan only felt a sense of speechlessness and absurdity——

A perfectly normal work business trip, actually turned by Su Monong into a tool to "win over" Ning Xue?

What the hell is this absurdity?!

Su Monong, to achieve her goal, is also too unscrupulous.

Lin Yuan remained silent for a long time, eventually he sighed.

Lin Yuan's tone…… full of compromise and helplessness.

He said to Su Monong on the other end of the phone, weak and feeble:

"I know…… I know."

Lin Yuan didn't argue further; he understood that Su Monong had already arranged everything.

Lin Yuan agreed to help Su Monong.

He couldn't get out of this matter.

Lin Yuan could only…… grit his teeth and agree, taking it one step at a time.

On the phone, Su Monong heard his reply and instantly burst out laughing,

Su Monong's tone…… was full of smugness: "That's more like it, you jerk. Be obedient, and later sis will treat you well. Remember, don't screw up, or I won't let you off."

Having said that, Su Monong hung up the phone……

Left alone, Lin Yuan held his phone, standing in place, his face full of helplessness.

How annoying!

Lin Yuan slowly put down his phone and slumped into his office chair.

He propped his forehead with both hands, his eyes full of fatigue and irritation.

He looked at the folder Ning Xue had left on the desk, only feeling a sudden headache——

For this two‑day business trip, how should he face Ning Xue?

And how should he fulfill Su Monong's ridiculous demand?

Lin Yuan didn't know; he only felt that this business trip was destined to be an ordeal that would torment him terribly.

After a long while, Lin Yuan finally picked up the phone and called Ning Xue's secretary.

Lin Yuan held the phone, his voice weary: "Secretary Ning, sure, this afternoon I'll accompany you on the trip."

On the other end, Ning Xue heard it and quickly replied, "All right, thank you, Director Lin; I'll book the rooms now."

"'Right……' Lin Yuan held the phone, thought for a moment, and said, 'Book two rooms; we'll stay separately.'"
