e for a short business trip, she hasn't even been in there. She thought it would be empty, but when she opened the cupboard door, she found that all the spices and dishes were neatly arranged. It seem...The more she thought about it, the angrier she got. She didn't want to stay in his office any longer and stormed out.

She was always accompanied by someone after she became pregnant, but today she came to the company with Gu Ruandong, so no one else came.

She walked out of Gus's on her own, originally intending to grab a drink and dessert at the nearby cafe. Now, she absolutely had to have some sweets to soothe her mood.

But because of her celebrity status, and being pregnant, she didn't want to go into the public eye alone, so she hesitated and didn't push the door open.

As she turned to walk back, the corner of her eye suddenly caught a glimpse of a figure flashing past beside her. But her entire spine suddenly went cold, because that fleeting person had met her gaze for a brief but terrifying moment.

Zhao Tingxing, with a sinister gaze, seemed to smile yet not smile as he met her eyes before vanishing without a trace.

Fearful of lingering outside, she hurried back to the residence, glancing over her shoulder. After passing through that revolving door, her pounding heart finally calmed slightly. She certainly didn't want to be dragged back into the mountains again.

While waiting for the elevator, she remembered that she had Zhao Tingxing's WeChat. He had messaged her a few days ago, and she hadn't replied. So, she took out her phone and asked, "Are you in Shenzhou"

I just sent it, and they responded almost instantly, but not a single word. Just a smiling face emoji, which is incredibly creepy. It has the same effect as the look I saw earlier.

Lu YaoYao immediately deleted the chat page, well, during pregnancy, she couldn't bear to see such unpleasant things.

As the elevator reached the top floor and its doors opened, Lu YaoYao caught sight of Gu Ruandong and his entourage seemingly just emerging from a meeting room. Besides Xiao Cai, there was also that female secretary, who was reporting something to him as he walked along, her words catching his ear intently. Just when Lu YaoYao's previously calmed mood had settled, it spiked again abruptly.

At that moment, Gu Ruandong also saw her standing by the elevator door. He had been looking serious before, but the instant he saw her, his eyebrows and eyes involuntarily lifted. He said to Xiao Cai beside him, "Be here this morning," then walked towards her, naturally putting an arm around her shoulders, as if pulling her directly into his embrace.

Behind him stood the high-ranking executives of the Gu Corporation. Lu Yaoyao still had to give him face, so she put on a gentle and generous smile on the surface, but cursed him a hundred times in her heart.

As soon as she was out of everyone's sight and back in his dressing room, she stomped on his foot hard, without any other physical contact.

Gu Ruandong was inexplicably kicked, and he couldn't understand how the clear skies from this morning had suddenly become overcast.

And to be stepped on by her, and also worry that she wouldn't stand steady and fall, so he had to hold her up. He might as well just pick her up and put her sitting on the pool table, this way it would be easier to control her and prevent her from moving around.

He guessed, “Hungry”

She just looked at him, wanting to see how long he would keep up the act

Gu Ruandong saw that she didn't answer, and asked again, "Are you tired I'll keep you company and sleep for a while"

She still wouldn't speak. Don't look at her usually soft and cute appearance, when she really gets angry, she is also very stubborn.

Gu Ruandong lowered his head, cupping her face, and said shamelessly, "If you don't speak, I can only use special methods."

He feigned a kiss, but she turned her head away and tilted it back. He leaned forward, but kept his hands firmly gripping her waist; she was the priority now, and he couldn't afford any slip-ups.

At this moment, Lu Yaoyao's mind suddenly flashed back to some previous scenes, also on this snooker table.

Even after all this time, thinking back to the way things were, my face flushed a little. This man, about to be a father, is still such a dog.

Seeing her blush, Gu Ruandong, who originally just wanted to tease her, couldn't help but be moved and pulled her into his arms for a real kiss.

Lu Yaoyao countless times felt that she was incompetent. This trick of hers always worked on him. She had just been sulking, but now she clung to him and responded seriously.

After the kiss, I realized I was angry!

"Not yet" he asked her in a low voice.

"Just think about it yourself."

Gu Ruandong carefully recalled every detail from the moment he left home that morning, but after a morning meeting, his mind was still preoccupied with various data and project reports from his subordinates. He really couldn't remember.

Not until the very end, when the image froze on her stepping out of the elevator, did it all become clear.

"Because of Han Secretary"

"Ms. Han" she said in a sarcastic tone, thinking to herself, "So your last name is Han. You call me Ms. Cai, but I've never heard you call anyone else 'Ms.' followed by their surname. How interesting."

She wanted to get off the pool table, but helplessly, her legs were pinned by his.

"Are you angry" he asked.

"You're not angry Secretary Han is good-looking and professional too. Taking him out would be better than taking Xiao Cai, he's most suitable for Mr. Gu." She said as she kicked his leg with her calf, wanting him to let go so she could get down.

Gu Ruandong was afraid she would hurt herself, so he had to carry her off the pool table. She turned and walked out, truly angry. How could she not be angry He had clearly said before that he wasn't allowed to hire a female secretary.

Gu Ruandong stopped her and explained, "Her situation is special, she'll be useful."

"It's quite special, of course I'd keep it close to me. I understand." Doesn't he just like this Which woman around him isn't there for a special purpose It's always been like this, hasn't changed at all. Her tears couldn't be held back any longer.

Gu Ruandong didn't expect her reaction to be so big. Seeing her cry, he was frightened and hurriedly explained: "She is Zhao Tingxing's ex-girlfriend."

He didn't care about gender, only whether someone could be useful to him. With her around, he wouldn't have any spare thoughts for other women.

Zhao Tingxing's ex-girlfriend took him quite a while to get in touch with. She's a very smart woman, highly goal-oriented and knows exactly what she wants and doesn't want, so they made a good team and hit it off right away.

"You kidnapped them too" Hearing Zhao Tingxing, she had a moment of confusion and thought he was retaliating. She asked the question before realizing how foolish it sounded.

"If she's useful, there's no need to have her as a personal secretary, is there" Her jealousy couldn't go to waste, and neither could her tears.

"Okay, let me think about how to arrange it."

It took him quite a while to calm her down, and then he accompanied her out for lunch. She went back to the rest room to sleep, and he returned to his office to continue working.

Lu Yao also didn't sleep soundly, always feeling that she had forgotten to tell Gu Ruandong something important. She was too busy arguing with him just now.

In a hazy nap, she seemed to hear someone calling for help. She suddenly woke up, only to find that it was the ringtone of her phone beside her.

Seeing that it was Chen Ning calling back, she immediately answered. The two hadn't been in touch since they met at the Beijing Foundation last time.

Chen Ling had contacted her several times before, but she was in the mountains at the time.
