Chapter 14: A Day's Plan Starts in the Morning (Part 2)

After being hauled to the emergency exit, Zhou Xiaoru crossed her arms over her chest and instinctively shrank back into the corner of the wall again and again.

What is he trying to do! She is still a maiden! She will absolutely not submit to his overbearing power.

Right now, Gu Liyan's tall, sturdy frame was blocking the stairwell entrance directly...

She looked at the narrow space on both sides of the man; with her somewhat sturdy build, unless she flew over this person's head, otherwise she would have to tunnel through the ground...

She cheered herself on in her heart; he is a bottom, just like her, she is not afraid of him!

Zhou Xiaoru couldn't help but let out two dry laughs to ease the current awkward atmosphere, and looking at that face which was already cold enough to flake off, her chest felt blocked in waves.

They say you shouldn't hit a smiling person, he wouldn't really beat her up, would he!

"Th... that... President Gu... why must you be like this... everyone is the same, it's not easy for anyone, why must you make things difficult for..." Why must a little bottom make things difficult for a woman.

Gu Liyan's brows instantly furrowed tightly as he listened to these words that were somewhat confusing, like a monk unable to grasp the head of the Buddha.

"What is the same?!"

Realizing she might have said the wrong thing again, she was so scared that she hurriedly waved her hands and said.

"Nothing is the same, nothing is the same, we are not the same... hehe..."

At this moment, Gu Liyan's face had already turned completely black; he just knew that this girl wasn't saying anything good.

Thinking back to that Zhou Xiaoru who had dated him for a year...

Gentle, quiet, shy, obedient...

Compared to the person in front of him with unique thinking and a mischievous, clever face, they were simply like two different people!

If it weren't for this face, he would really suspect that the Zhou Xiaoru in front of him was a fake!

He couldn't help but walk a little closer, pinning the person whose eyes were darting back and forth into the corner of the wall...

Zhou Xiaoru hugged herself with her arms crossed, staring nervously at that handsome face; she had known him for so many years and could be considered to know him inside and out, he wouldn't really want to kill her, would he!

At this moment, the man stretched out an arm and braced it directly against the wall...

Zhou Xiaoru's heart skipped a beat!

Had she just been... wall-pinned by a little bottom?

A dangerous light flashed in the man's eyes as he slowly opened his mouth to speak.

"This morning, when you were about to leave, you told me to remember to buy medicated plasters... tell me now, what kind of medicated plasters... and where to apply them..."

This question couldn't help but choke the person pressed against the wall!

How should she answer, and what else could she say?

This person clearly wanted to take the opportunity to get revenge on her! If she really told the truth, she shouldn't even think about leaving here alive today.

She had no choice but to give a fawning, dry laugh, and looking up at the man who was over 1.8 meters tall, she explained.

"No, no, you heard wrong, I was the one who needed to buy medicated plasters. I was sleeping last night and a bug bit my butt, leaving a big bump, and when I got up this morning I found it had actually swollen... hehehe... don't you think that's funny..."

After finishing, she was already breaking out in a cold sweat...

It was truly shameful! Even she herself didn't believe such nonsense, let alone this man with a super-high IQ in front of her!

Gu Liyan felt even more amused and annoyed by these words; a bump bitten on the butt? Was this implying something to him...

He instinctively lowered his head, staring at the person who had been circled within his range.

"Are you using an analogy to tell me to buy the same brand of medicated plaster as you?"

Zhou Xiaoru was instantly speechless and even more secretly shocked; she had been so cryptic, yet he could still hear the meaning in it. He really wasn't an ordinary bottom!

The man looked amusedly at that somewhat cute face and those unpredictable, interesting expressions.

Once again, he slowly explained, "Zhou Xiaoru! I will reiterate to you again, I do not have that kind of relationship with the Vice President!"

The person huddled in the corner nodded like a chicken pecking at rice, "Understood, understood! Very much understood!" Trying to cover it up only made it more obvious; she would be a fool to believe that.

A light flashed in the man's eyes at this moment, and he curled his lips as he said, "You seem to know quite a lot about the relations between the sexes."

It was simply beyond his imagination; he now suspected that he had known a fake Zhou Xiaoru all these years.

Zhou Xiaoru replied very modestly, "Not much, not much. Everyone has their strengths and weaknesses; I only know a little, just a little."

She had only dated him as a partner; back when they were dating, besides holding hands, the number of times they kissed could be counted on one hand.

She didn't have any practical experience; it was all learned from the seasoned fujoshi Xiao Lan.

Besides, even if you haven't eaten pork, haven't you seen a pig run?

Whether it was a domestic pig, a wild boar, a fragrant pig, or a Pietrain pig, she had seen them all! What was there to be so surprised about.

Gu Liyan almost laughed out loud; everyone has their strengths and weaknesses? To think this girl would use it in such a place...

He had really underestimated her before.

Just as the atmosphere of their conversation was gradually easing, the sudden appearance of someone instantly broke the current calm.

The person who arrived looked completely incredulous and shocked, and even pointed a finger at the two people in the corner and asked.

"You... what are you two doing?"

As soon as Zhou Xiaoru saw that person, her eyes widened in terror, and she hurriedly swiped away the arm braced beside her.

She hurriedly began to explain, stuttering.

"Su... Su... President Su, don't misunderstand... we..." But before she could finish her sentence, the person interrupted.

"Alright, say no more..." After saying this, he had already turned around and quickly left the stairwell.

This really made Zhou Xiaoru anxious, and she shouted.

"President Su! You really misunderstood..."

She even followed Su Poyang all the way outside the office door, and seeing that lonely back return to the office, she anxiously urged the man following behind her.

"Hurry! Hurry and go in to explain, he definitely misunderstood!"

What was she to do now? She had just guaranteed that morning that she had no relationship with this person, and now she had been caught red-handed?

Oh my god!!

Gu Liyan could not help but rub his forehead again, feeling a bit of a headache; having Zhou Xiaoru alone already made him feel it was very troublesome, and now he had to deal with her drama-queen cousin as well...

These days ahead...

He was actually, somewhat looking forward to them!

At this moment, a small hand beside him was still tugging at his clothes incessantly, urging him to go in and explain quickly.

Zhou Xiaoru, already sweating profusely from anxiety, pulled hard on the hem of the man's clothes beside her, but no matter how she pulled, she simply could not move him.

"Go in quickly! Tell him we have no relationship whatsoever! I just gave him my word this morning, I can't let him misunderstand again!"

It was enough to drive someone crazy with anxiety! What was this person thinking, how could he be so indifferent!

Gu Liyan kept his brows furrowed and asked, "What did he say to you this morning?"

This Su Poyang, there was no telling what kind of medicine he was selling in his gourd, just following along and stirring up trouble.

Zhou Xiaoru paused for a moment, then waved her hands repeatedly, fearing that she would create another misunderstanding between these two, for which she would be to blame.

"No, no, no... didn't say anything, don't misunderstand! You should still hurry..."

"Zhou Xiaoru!"

"Ah?" Zhou Xiaoru could not help but stop her movements, looking in confusion at the person who had suddenly called her name.

She saw the handsome Gu, his gaze heavy, his expression also heavy, and then he leaned down slightly, moving close to the woman who was a head shorter than him.

He said gently, "You should know, what I like are women, not men."

Looking at the man who was within arm's reach and looking her straight in the eye, Zhou Xiaoru's heart was thumping.

At such a close distance, not only could she feel the unique scent belonging to the man, but she could also clearly see the pores on Gu Liyan's face.

With her eyes blinking blankly, she stared for a long time, and finally, she reached a conclusion.

Gu Liyan's face was so fair, so tender, so delicate!

Immediately, she blurted out her thoughts, "Your face is so fair!" Even fairer than hers!

As the words fell, the handsome Gu's face was already covered in black lines! What on earth was this girl thinking about all day long.

But just at this moment, a melodramatic scene happened once again...

Behind the two of them, the heavy office door opened once more...

Zhou Xiaoru looked over reflexively, and saw a handsome face behind the rosewood door, filled with shock and heartbreak!

It shocked her so much her heart almost stopped again, and she hurriedly stepped forward to grab the door that was about to close again.

"President Su! It's a misunderstanding! It's all a misunderstanding, President Su!"

She saw the person inside holding the door, replying in a 'sad and angry' manner.

"Don't explain anymore, I saw it all..."

After speaking, the person inside was already so amused they almost laughed out loud, while the person outside...

Although Zhou Xiaoru could not see Su Poyang's face, her brain had already imagined various scenes of heartbreak, pain, and utter despair!

She did not want to be the 'other woman'! She hadn't done anything! This was too unjust!

And to be the 'other woman' for two men at that!

Heavens! Was this a sin! She didn't want this!!

Using all her might, she hugged the handle of the big door and shouted at the man standing to the side with his hands in his pockets, watching the show.

"Gu Liyan! What are you doing! Come over here quickly!" If he didn't come over, his lover would be gone, and she would never be able to clear her name even if she jumped into the Yellow River, let alone hope to stay and work at Tengyuan in the future!

But that person was still standing to the side, watching leisurely, unmoved.

"Gu Liyan!! Are you even a man or not!"

She was so anxious she was about to curse, and he was still just watching!

But after shouting, she realized something was wrong. It seemed that this person, right now, probably couldn't be counted as a man anymore...

Gu Liyan's face turned black, setting a new record! He also felt very helpless again, and was even more speechless, rubbing his forehead...

He had just explained so much to her, but the moment Su Poyang appeared, it was all back to square one.

Sigh...

Finally, after a sigh, the man moved his long legs, his slender arms reached out, and he pulled the office door wide open.

Su Poyang, who had been on the verge of laughing out loud behind the door, now quickly wiped the smile off his face.

Zhou Xiaoru, who was as anxious as an ant on a hot pan, didn't notice at all that the person standing inside had been twitching his lips, and only busied herself with explaining a whole bunch of things.

"President Su, listen to me, President Gu and I really didn't do anything! Nothing happened! You can rest assured, one hundred percent, one thousand percent, ten thousand percent! President Gu is yours, no one can take him away!"

Hearing this, Gu Liyan, who was standing to the side, also had his mouth twitch.

Su Poyang really wanted to laugh, but the situation didn't allow it; otherwise, the act he had put on would be ruined, and that wouldn't be fun.

Gradually calming his somewhat fluctuating emotions, he asked suspiciously.

"Are you telling the truth?"

"Mm-hmm, mm-hmm..." Another round of nodding like a pestle pounding garlic.
