When she woke up, she was already lying in a strange bed.
Luo Shu looked around the unfamiliar place in a daze.
Yesterday was the department dinner, and she'd accidentally had a couple of drinks too many.
And then…
Her hands trembled as her mind snapped into focus.
His heavy, muffled groans, like a death knell, still echoed in her ears.
She cut off her own spiraling thoughts, wanting only to escape this problematic place as quickly as possible.
She picked up the shredded white shirt from the floor.
Could this even be worn outside…
Her trembling hands tossed the garment aside.
Beside the bed was a clean set of clothes, clearly left by that person—a professional skirt suit.
She put it on eagerly. The clothes weren't her usual style; they were likely bought randomly just to get by.
She discovered that her neck was completely clean, but below her collarbone, it was a total mess.
Hah! This man. Should she praise him for being a gentleman?
So afraid that others would find out he'd slept with someone!
Luo Shu sighed, walked out of the bathroom, and glanced around.
This was a large suite. It felt uninhabited, lacking any sense of a lived-in life. It wasn't like a hotel, yet it strongly resembled one.
She grabbed her bag from the bedside and walked out.
Sure enough, this wasn't a hotel.
Opening the door, a vast living room came into view.
A familiar man entered her line of sight.
He was sitting on the sofa wearing headphones, a pillow on his lap with a laptop resting on it.
Dressed in black loungewear, he had a lazy air about him.
Hearing the noise from the room, he lifted his deep gaze.
This person… was actually her boss, Yu Zhan…
Wasn't he known as the abstinent tycoon?
Judging by last night's state, his 'abstinence' didn't seem so restrained. He was more like a wolf that had been starved for decades.
She was stunned. Just as she was about to say something, Yu Zhan spoke first.
"I'm in a meeting," his voice was deep and husky.
Luo Shu immediately shut her mouth, understanding what he meant.
"Come over and have breakfast."
He leaned forward slightly, and his slender fingers pushed the glass of honey water in front of him, moving it toward another breakfast set on the table.
But he didn't notice that as he leaned forward, the hickeys on his neck were aimed right at the camera, clearly visible to all the executives in the meeting.
Luo Shu's face turned beet red with anxiety. Those… were probably her handiwork. She never knew her sucking technique was so potent.
She fervently wished this was a hotel, so she could just walk out the door and go home.
She sat down timidly, her eyes darting around, not daring to look at him.
She could only obediently drink the honey water and eat the same sandwich he was having.
Yu Zhan was famously cold. A cold personality, a cold temper—his whole being was cold.
So, Luo Shu had probably messed with the wrong person.
She must have gotten into the wrong car last night.
But even if she did, this cold-faced boss wouldn't have mistaken her for someone else, would he…?
Sleeping with an employee… did he not care about his reputation?
Fifteen minutes later, he ended the meeting, closed his laptop, and only then began to eat his breakfast in a slow, deliberate manner.
"Sorry, I didn't know it was your first time. I was a bit rough."
He was as cold as ever, no different from when he was making decisions in the meeting. His face was completely expressionless as he spoke.
"Cough, cough…" Luo Shu, who had just managed to compose herself, felt the blush creep back onto her face.
What's done is done, let's not dwell on it, okay!
"The family doctor will be here soon. Wait a bit before you go back."
Well, well. Tearing up the ticket right after boarding the ride.
Was he afraid she'd get pregnant with his royal heir and inherit his throne?
Luo Shu downed the last of her milk in one gulp, unsure how to respond.
He ate quickly and finished in an instant.
"You wait here. I have to go to the company today. I'll have Shen Yan take you back."
Luo Shu quickly interjected, "Mr. Yu, I can go back by myself. It's no trouble."
"Are you implying my performance last night was unsatisfactory?" He looked up slightly, a hint of grievance in his voice.
"Huh?!"
For some reason, Luo Shu's heart began to pound erratically.
How could she dare!
She was at a loss for words, unable to refute his statement.
This was the first time she had ever been verbally steamrolled.
If he weren't her boss, she would have flipped out and torn that mouth of his apart.
"Mr. Yu, Doctor Nan is here," an older maid appeared nearby.
He said nothing, just quietly looked at Luo Shu.
Luo Shu was beautiful, with fair skin and gorgeous, naturally blonde hair. She was a mixed-race girl, stunning beyond words.
Her figure was also outstanding, the epitome of the kind of girlfriend other people dreamed of.
She felt very uncomfortable under his gaze. Her already flushed cheeks began to feel hot.
"Follow me," Yu Zhan said, a barely perceptible sigh escaping his nostrils.
Luo Shu obediently followed. Who was she to defy a tycoon of the fashion industry?
Returning to the battlefield of last night's madness, she felt a lingering fear, her palms sweating as she looked at the bed.
However, the battlefield had already been cleaned spotless by the maid from earlier.
A female doctor walked in. Then Yu Zhan walked out, closing the door behind him.
Luo Shu had thought she would be given a morning-after pill or some kind of shot, but it was nothing of the sort.
It was an examination of that place, and the application of ointment…
It was utterly humiliating! To have last night's 'battle achievements' inspected by someone else.
But thankfully, the ointment really did provide a lot of relief.
She covered her face the entire time, feeling like she could die of embarrassment.
By the time she came out, Yu Zhan had already left.
Only Shen Yan was waiting for her.
Shen Yan was the same age as her, both twenty-two, graduates from the same university who had interviewed and started at the same time, just in different positions.
He was Yu Zhan's sole assistant, a very capable right-hand man.
Standing by the car, looking at Shen Yan's grinning face in the driver's seat, Luo Shu felt so embarrassed she wished the ground would swallow her whole.
Once in the car, she stared out the window and mumbled, "Did I get into the wrong car last night?"
"You did, future Mrs. Yu," Shen Yan teased, then began to recount with great drama and flair:
"I've known you for so long, and it's the first time I've seen you drink so much. You got into the wrong car last night, and the moment you were in, you hugged the boss, called him 'Big White,' and then started kissing him furiously. It was really intense!"
"Mr. Yu had a little to drink last night too, but he didn't dare move. You know, he's a germaphobe. You even ripped his shirt, and several buttons popped off."
"..." She hung her head, her imagination running wild as she listened.
"We were going to send you home, but considering you live alone, the boss was worried you couldn't take care of yourself, so he brought you to his place."
"Haha—" She forced a smile.
"So, you and the boss…" Shen Yan looked her up and down.
It had to be said, Yu Zhan was quite forward-thinking; he hadn't left a single mark on her neck.
"As you can see," she pointed to her clean neck.
"Looks like the boss is quite the gentleman after all."
"He is—" she drew out the sound.
A gentleman. A pseudo-gentleman—
