Laughter echoed from the office, one sentence after another, sounding incredibly grating.

Lu Jingci stood outside the door, his white fingers clenching even tighter. Half of his face was hidden in the shadows, and his black pupils were filled with an increasingly cold and deep color.

He turned around and took one last look at Xu Wuning's smiling face towards Jiang Xu'an.

Then, he closed the door, got on the elevator, and left the company.

An employee saw him in the elevator, bowed his head, and called out, "President Lu."

Lu Jingci didn't speak, but the employees saw his gaze and felt a chill run down their spines.

What's going on? Why is President Lu, who is usually so gentle and refined, so cold? It's terrifying! Is it just my imagination?

Until Lu Jingci was completely gone.

The employee, holding the documents, watched his retreating figure, his legs feeling weak, and he broke out in a cold sweat.

The aura emanating from President Lu was just like that of the ruthless, crazed villain in the short drama he had been watching last night.

He shook off the thoughts in his mind. He wondered who had offended President Lu. As an ordinary worker, he should just focus on his work; this was none of his business.

Outside.

Lu Jingci got into the car, as if nothing had happened, and his kind and gentle smile returned to his face.

However, through the rearview mirror, one could see that his eyes, behind his gold-rimmed glasses, were a dark and gloomy black.

……

An hour later, in the office.

Jiang Xu'an is gone.

Xu Wuning looked down at the contract with satisfaction. Sure enough, negotiating with an old classmate had a higher success rate.

Just reminisce a bit and have a laugh, and the contract is done—easy peasy.

She stretched, leaned back in her chair, and turned on her phone.

She glanced through her phone records, her eyes dimming slightly.

That's really strange. Why did Lu Jingci give up after only making one phone call?

Logically speaking, given Lu Jingci's personality, he wouldn't give up until he hit a brick wall. He would definitely make several phone calls, and she would keep arguing with him. After four or five times, her anger would gradually subside.

Actually, she got away with taking advantage of him and also played a trick on him, getting revenge for being tricked by him pretending to have amnesia before, so her anger wasn't that great anymore.

Last night's events can be considered a slight turning point.

She wasn't sure what her feelings for Lu Jingci were, but they had known each other since junior high school, going from bitter rivals to mutual pursuit. Step by step, she had grown accustomed to Lu Jingci's presence.

If she never spoke to Lu Jingci again, she would feel a void in her heart, a strange and inexplicable feeling.

If she marries another man, she will find it unacceptable. If she marries Lu Jingci, although this guy deserves a beating, she wants to kick him every day, but she is quite used to it.

The main thing is that they are quite compatible in bed.

However, she has a strong sense of self-respect and hates being played or teased. Lu Jingci's fake amnesia and deception seriously touched her sore spot.

However, if she slowly gets her revenge and her anger subsides, it's not impossible for her to do *that*.

However, her anger has not completely disappeared.

Xu Wuning sat at her desk, resting her chin on her hand, and began to think.

Suddenly, realizing that she had started thinking about forgiving Lu Jingci, her face darkened, and she quickly shook the thought out of her head.

She widened her eyes, stood up, and shook her head.

What's going on? Is Xu Wuning becoming love-struck? Instead of focusing on her career, she's thinking about forgiving Lu Jingci?

Lu Jingci must not be forgiven easily.

It felt like two little people were fighting in my mind, one crying and shouting "Forgive him," and the other shouting angrily "Get him out of here."

Xu Wuning was very annoyed and kicked the two little devils away.

Her face turned cold and stern again, and she resumed reviewing the documents.

There was a few light knocks on the door.

Xu Wuning looked up, put down her pen, and said, "Go in."

Secretary Liu walked over: "President Xu, this is the event plan submitted by the publicity department."

Xu Wuning took it and flipped through it a few times.

Secretary Liu stood there, not leaving immediately: "President Xu, there's something else I need to tell you. President Lu came by earlier, saying he wanted to see you, but since you were discussing the contract with President Jiang, he left."

Xu Wuning was taken aback: "Lu Jingci came? And he came while I was negotiating the contract with Jiang Xu'an?"

Secretary Liu hummed in agreement.

Xu Wuning continued, "What was Lu Jingci's reaction?"

Secretary Liu: "President Lu just smiled gently and said, 'Please focus on the contract first, there's no rush,' and then he left."

Xu Wuning was a little shocked. Based on her understanding of Lu Jingci, this guy would definitely go crazy if he saw her meeting Jiang Xu'an, regardless of whether they were discussing a contract or not, he would definitely turn evil.

What happened this time? Why did they leave so happily? They didn't just leave like they used to go crazy?

Has Lu Jingci truly repented and reformed?

If he has truly changed, as he himself said, he can start as a pursuer, sincerely apologize, and earnestly admit his mistakes. Given enough time, she might be able to give him a chance to start over.

Lu Jingci seems to be really different from before.

Although she wouldn't forgive him easily, and she still disliked him a bit, anything was possible once her anger subsided after a few more times.

Everything depends on Lu Jingci's actions and whether his apology is sincere.

……

night.

It was a cloudy night. The stars outside the window were obscured by dark clouds, and the entire sky was shrouded in darkness. A biting wind blew, whistling through the leaves, and a few leaves fell to the ground, broken and withered.

At the company.

Xu Wuning was still working overtime, carefully reviewing company documents.

She hasn't been in this position for long, so she needs to work even harder and learn more so that her father can retire sooner.

The entire company building was quiet. It had ten floors, and only a few people were working overtime at their respective workstations. Everyone else had gone home long ago.

Xu Wuning was alone in the general manager's office; she had already told Secretary Liu to leave work.

A gust of cold wind seemed to blow in through the French windows.

Xu Wuning felt a chill run down her spine, and inexplicably felt a bit uneasy.

She went over, closed all the windows in the office, and sat back down in her seat.

The gurgling sound of the water dispenser heating water came from the tea room outside the door, so muffled it sounded like it was seeping from under the floor.

She glanced at the time in the bottom right corner: 23:47.

Only her room was the only area of ​​light on this floor; the rest of the floor was shrouded in solidified darkness.

Xu Wuning's fingertips paused on the keyboard. Perhaps it was because she had watched a horror movie that Su Wanyue had sent her a couple of days ago, and for some reason, she had a sixth sense that made her feel a little scared today.

suddenly.

Xu Wuning heard footsteps outside the office door, one after another, approaching her, incredibly clear in the quiet night.

Strange, didn't Secretary Liu already leave? Who's outside so late?

A chill ran down her spine. She stood up and walked step by step toward the door. "Who?! Is one of the employees still here?"

Just then, the lights on that floor suddenly went out.

Holy crap, is it really haunted? Or is there a problem with the circuit?

Xu Wuning's pupils dilated violently, and she shuddered in fright. Her mind was filled with images from horror movies.

In the pitch-black darkness, her heart skipped a beat. She turned to get her phone, intending to turn on the flashlight and call the bodyguard downstairs.

She moved very quickly.

But she hadn't taken more than a few steps.

With a "click," the door was turned open.

Suddenly, a pair of hands reached out and covered Xu Wuning's mouth from behind, while another hand tightly restrained her waist.

"Well……"

The cold touch of fingers sent a shiver through Xu Wuning, and she struggled desperately.

Who is it?! Such strength! She can't break free.

What to do? She had to find a way to sound the alarm.

But it was too late; the world spun around them.

She was pressed firmly against the door, the man pressed against her from behind, his warm breath brushing against her earlobe, and something poked her lower back.

Her belt was ripped open by that man...
