Hidden Beauty in the Dark: The CEO's Secret Lover

Chapter 122 In my heart, you are a monster
She adapted quickly to the job.I am busy every day, and my life is very fulfilling.

Gu Shanglu is a good boss, he always taught her a lot of things intentionally or unintentionally, which benefited her a lot.Although there are rumors in the company that she has an unusual relationship with the president, and that she came in through the back door.But she never cared, and she was still the same every day.Not overly enthusiastic about colleagues, nor deliberately indifferent.Doing your own work peacefully.

One day, when she was packing up her things and getting ready to leave work, Gu Shanglu knocked on the table, "Qing Yin."

"Huh?" She looked up, "Mr. Gu, is there anything else?"

Gu Shanglu nodded, "Get ready and attend a reception with me tonight."

Jian Qingyin hesitated. "this……"

Gu Shanglu smiled, "Don't worry, it's not a private reception, it's on behalf of the company. It's a business reception."

Since it was a business reception, she was his secretary, so she couldn't be absent.

"Okay then," she said, "I'll go back and get ready."

"Well," Gu Shanglu packed the things on the table, picked up the car keys, and walked out with her, "Dress nicely, and I'll pick you up at night."

"No need," Jian Qingyin said hastily, "I'll just take a taxi there."

"Okay then," Gu Shanglu didn't force it, "It's eight o'clock in the evening, don't be late."

"I see." Jian Qingyin nodded.

It was time to get off work, and the elevator was overcrowded.As soon as Jian Qingyin entered, the elevator sounded a whining alarm.She had to back out in embarrassment.

Gu Shanglu frowned, while grabbing her hand, "Come with me."

Under the watchful eyes of everyone, Jian Qingyin became even more embarrassed, "Mr. Gu, let me go first..."

Gu Shanglu ignored her and pulled her straight to the VIP elevator.This elevator is a special elevator for the bosses of all companies in the entire building.Gu Shanglu pulled her to the elevator, reached out and pressed a button.

Jian Qingyin realized that he was going to let her take the president's special elevator with him, so she couldn't help being startled, and hurriedly said, "Mr. Gu, this is not good, I'd better take the employee elevator. If there are too many people, wait a minute." Enough."

Gu Shanglu frowned, "Isn't it just taking an elevator downstairs? Why do you have so many worries?"

At this time, the elevator door just opened, and he pushed her in without any explanation.

Jian Qingyin was very helpless, "Shanglu, it makes me feel very uncomfortable when you do this." She can completely imagine that there will be a wave of gossip in the company tomorrow, and the fact that she and the president took the same elevator will definitely spread. All over the company, and the gossip that has been circulating since she joined the company will also be confirmed.It proved that she, Jian Qingyin, did have an shady relationship with the president.

She has a headache.I don't know if he did it on purpose.

Seeing her depressed look, Gu Shanglu smiled and said, "What? Are you afraid of those people's nonsense? I thought that after three years of cultivation, you have already become invulnerable to all poisons."

Jian Qingyin looked at the sky speechlessly, "You think I'm a goblin?"

Gu Shanglu looked at her deeply, "In my heart, you are a monster." His voice suddenly became low and charming, and there was an inexplicable color in his eyes. "A beautiful and charming fox demon that makes people dream about."

The atmosphere suddenly became ambiguous, Jian Qingyin's heart skipped a beat, her expression unconsciously flustered and at a loss.She forced a smile, and took a step back subconsciously, not daring to look at him, "Mr. Gu was joking, there are no goblins in this world!"

From "Shanglu" to "Mr. Gu", Gu Shanglu's eyes dimmed for a moment.Seeing her dodging eyes, he smiled, with complicated feelings in his heart.

"Qing Yin." He wanted to say something, but at this moment the elevator door opened with a ding.

Jian Qingyin felt relieved, and hurriedly said, "Then Mr. Gu, I'm going back first, please drive carefully on the road." Then he almost couldn't wait to get out of the elevator.

Gu Shanglu looked at her, his eyes flickered, and said, "Okay." Then he pressed the button for the parking lot on the basement level.

The elevator door closed slowly, and Gu Shanglu's face finally disappeared behind the door. Jian Qingyin patted his chest and let out a long breath.

She really didn't expect that Gu Shanglu would say such a sentence to her.What the hell does he mean?Are you kidding, or are you trying to express something?Thinking of the reception tonight, she had a headache.

Walking out of the building, a short message alert sounded on the mobile phone.

She opened it and saw that it was from Gu Shanglu: Don't forget, it's eight o'clock in the evening.The dress will be delivered to you in a while.

Even custom-made an evening dress for her?She thought that it would be fine to wear a more beautiful dress casually.

It seems that she has to go to this reception, and she has to go if she doesn't.She got more headaches.

……

As soon as Jian Qingli got home, she saw her sister's room door was open, "Hey, are you back so early today?"

She walked in curiously, and was immediately amazed by the beautiful and dignified woman in front of the full-length mirror.

The ice blue off-the-shoulder dress, showing thin and white shoulders and a tube top, her hair was coiled up, revealing a smooth and slender neck, wearing the latest Swarovski crystal necklace, under the lights, shining brightly shine.There is a white bow tie on the slender waist, and layers of ice-blue petals are blooming at the hem. Under the feet are a pair of diamond-encrusted silver stiletto high-heeled shoes. Standing there gracefully, reserved and gentle, noble and elegant, beautiful You can't take your eyes off it.

Leaning against the door frame, she couldn't help staring blankly.

I knew that my sister was beautiful, but I didn't expect that after careful dressing, she was even more beautiful like a celestial being.In front of her, Jian Qingli, who had always been praised by her neighbors for her good looks, suddenly felt ashamed, like a dim star beside the moon.

Born to the same mother, why are they so different?It seems that all the limelight has been stolen by her.Jian Qingli felt very uncomfortable.

She forced a smile and said, "Sister, where did you get this dress? It's so beautiful."

Jian Qingyin was in a daze, but she didn't expect Gu Shanglu to send not only the dress, but also the matching jewelry.Should he be said to be considerate, or should he be said to have ulterior motives?He seemed to know that she prefers ice blue, not only did he choose a dress of this color, but he also knew her measurements well, the dress was exactly the same.It was as if it was tailor-made just for her.

She can't afford such expensive clothes.With a guilty smile, she replied Jian Qingli, "It's rented."

Just treat it as a rented one, dry clean the clothes and return them to him after the reception, she dare not accept the clothes.

"Sister, are you going to attend some kind of dinner party?" Jian Qingli sat on the bed beside her, looking at her enviously.

Jian Qingyin tidied her clothes, didn't notice her strange expression, just smiled and said, "Well, the company has a business reception. I want to accompany the president to attend."

"That's great." Jian Qingli was so jealous.She dreamed of participating in such an occasion, but it was a pity that her status was there, she didn't have a good education, and she didn't have a good job, so she didn't have a chance at all.

Why did Jian Qingyin occupy all the good things by herself?Strong jealousy welled up in her heart.

"By the way, Qingli," Jian Qingyin asked her, "Are you really not planning to continue studying? If you miss it, don't worry about the family, I can continue to provide for you..."

See, she's talking to herself again in this Madonna tone, as if the family couldn't do without her.Jian Qingli said lightly, "I don't miss it anymore, I plan to find a job and go to work first." She didn't believe it, she, Jian Qingyin, could just find a CEO as a backer, but she, Jian Qingli, couldn't.

Knowing that she had made up her mind, Jian Qingyin could only say, "Okay then, think it over for yourself. If you need sister's help, just ask."

"Understood." Jian Qingli said calmly.

Because Jian Qingyin was in a hurry, she didn't pay much attention to her expression. She casually took a small white shawl with carved flowers and put it on, covering her exposed shoulders and arms, and went out.

The car that delivered the dress was still parked at the entrance of the alley.Unexpectedly, Gu Shanglu agreed to let her take a taxi to the reception by herself, but still sent someone over.Sitting here, she felt a little uneasy.She felt that Gu Shanglu's attitude towards her seemed to be beyond the scope of a boss towards a secretary, and, as an ordinary friend, his concern for her seemed a little too much.She thought, after the reception, she should talk to him.If it doesn't work, just quit this job and find another one.

Arrived at the hotel soon.

Gu Shanglu's car has just arrived.When the car door was opened, Jian Qingyin just bent down and got out of the car.When his eyes fell on her, Gu Shanglu felt his eyes light up instantly, and a stunning light flashed in his eyes.

On weekdays, she always looks bare-faced, and her attire is quite standard. She never expected that she would be so glamorous and charming when she put on light makeup and an evening gown.Her skin was already fair, and the ice blue dress on her body made her noble, glamorous, elegant and generous.

He has always known that she prefers ice blue, which is her lucky color.

As for the measurements.There was a charming smile on his lips.

"It's beautiful." He walked over and praised sincerely.

"Thank you," Jian Qingyin nodded politely, "You are also very handsome today."

Indeed, he is dressed in a hand-tailored tall and well-fitting suit like a tree facing the wind, coupled with a handsome and stylish face, he has captivated many girls who are full of spring.

Gu Shanglu joked, "Aren't I usually handsome?"

Jian Qingyin hurriedly said, "Usually handsome."

Gu Shanglu laughed, and stretched out his arms towards her like a gentleman, "Come on, my beautiful secretary and female companion, tonight, you will be the most beautiful scenery in the whole reception."

"Mr. Gu is too much." Jian Qingyin smiled faintly, put his hand into his arm like a gentleman, took his arm, and walked into the hotel venue together.

The venue is almost full of people.Clothes and temples are everywhere, and laughter is noisy.The entire venue was covered with red carpets, rows of white jade tables, filled with exquisite goblets, champagne red wine, rare and exotic fruits rarely seen in the market, and many unnamed delicacies.

The men at the venue were all in suits and ties, as formal as a groom; the ladies wore various small dresses, which were extraordinarily enchanting.Everyone was talking softly, and sometimes there was the crisp sound of lightly clinking wine glasses.Everything shows the self-restraint of upper-class people.

As soon as Gu Shanglu and Jian Qingyin came in, they immediately became the focus, and everyone greeted them one after another, raising their goblets as a signal.The organizer also came over with a glass of wine to say hello, "Young Master Gu, I'm so happy that you can come here. Who is this beautiful lady beside you?"

Gu Shanglu smiled and introduced, "Jian Qingyin."

He only briefly introduced her name, but didn't say her identity. The faces of the people around suddenly showed a clear expression. They looked at Jian Qingyin and smiled meaningfully.

The organizer also raised his glass to Jian Qingyin with a smile, "Welcome, Miss Jian. I hope to hear good news about you and Young Master Gu soon, haha."
