Inside the office.

As Zhou Yun spoke, she got quite close to the table. Seeing President Lu's smile deepen, she became bolder.

Her eyes flashed, and suddenly her foot slipped. The stiletto heel of her high heel slipped on the carpet, and she fell towards Lu Jingci.

The form in her hand fell to the ground, and she herself, with precise inertia and careful calculation, fell into Lu Jingci's arms.

The moment she lunged at Lu Jingci.

Xu Wuning's face immediately darkened. She clutched her chest, feeling a sour taste in her mouth, as if she had drunk something vinegar.

There's still a dull ache, like someone is taking something that's mine away. It's strange and very upsetting.

In that instant, Xu Wuning thought of many things.

If Lu Jingci hugs another woman and becomes dirty, she won't want him anymore. If he becomes a dirty gigolo, she'll find another one.

How could her gigolo hug someone else? She's the one who's the sugar daddy.

She wouldn't want him, yes, she wouldn't.

No matter how many times he had been sentenced to death before, most of that anger had subsided. But this time, she was serious. He would not be forgiven again and would be sentenced to a life without a wife!

Xu Wuning's lips were bloodless, and her whole body began to tremble, whether from anger or something else, it was hard to tell.

However, the scene she envisioned did not appear.

The embrace Zhou Yun had imagined did not appear. The warm chest, the hand supporting her shoulder, and the concerned "Are you alright?" that she had expected were all absent.

Zhou Yun felt a sudden emptiness in front of her, and she completely lost her balance.

"what!"

She screamed and fell hard to the ground, her knees hitting the floor with a dull thud.

Lu Jingci had already quickly moved aside, standing to the side with his hands in his trouser pockets, coldly looking down at her.

Zhou Yun lay sprawled on the ground, looking disheveled. Her knees, beneath her blue skirt, burned with pain, and she couldn't get up.

She looked up at President Lu in disbelief. She thought that with President Lu's gentle and kind nature, there was no way he would avoid her.

But when she met President Lu's gaze, her face turned pale instantly. She felt a chill run down her spine, her scalp tingle, and a general sense of dread.

That chilling gaze was something she had never seen before.

Lu Jingci's eyes churned with intense hostility, his gaze fixed on her with a chilling intensity.

He was already annoyed after being kicked out by Ningning, and this woman's arrival only added fuel to the fire. His voice was as cold as ice, utterly ruthless:

"You've been drinking too much tea, haven't you? Why are you being so teasy? What are you being teasy about? This teasy attitude is really annoying."

"And what about Ningning? Who gives you the right to criticize her?"

His gaze turned cold and menacing as he looked down at her. "Who do you think you are? You dare to speak up for Ningning and try to understand me?"

"How many days have you been with us? How long have you known me? Do you even know what happened between Ningning and me? You just stand here, constantly saying 'President Xu is really something,' what does this have to do with you? Are you sick in the head?"

Why do you keep bringing up the fact that Ningning kicked me out? Are you mocking me?

"Even if Ningning doesn't forgive me, so what? I will keep pursuing her until I die. In this life, I will never be interested in anyone but her. Do you understand?"

Zhou Yun's face turned from red to white, then from white to green. Her pale lips moved slightly, she was so frightened that she couldn't utter a single word.

She had never encountered anything like this before, and it was unlike any of the men she had met in the past. She could hardly believe her ears.

The pain in her knees made her start to cry, sobbing, "I...I absolutely did not laugh at you for being kicked out, I was just being understanding..."

Lu Jingci narrowed his eyes slightly, his face as cold as a frozen pool:

"Are you trying to say that I didn't mean anything by it, that I was just being considerate of my brother, unlike my sister who doesn't know how to be considerate of him? Is that what you're going to say?"

"I understand you, because I used to be a 'green tea' (a manipulative woman) too, and I really hate what you're saying."

"Why are you crying? Stop pretending, and stop being a 'green tea' (a manipulative woman). Nobody understands 'green tea' better than me."

"Let me tell you, you're fired. The company doesn't need employees like you who don't do their jobs properly and think about crooked ways all day. We also don't need interns like you who are always watching how I and Ningning get along."

Outside the door, Xu Wuning was stunned by the unfolding plot.

Especially when she heard Lu Jingci say, "I used to be a green tea bitch, and no one understands green tea bitches better than me," her lips twitched.

Inside the house, Zhou Yun stumbled forward two steps. The delicate demeanor she had displayed when she entered was completely gone, replaced by a panicked and distorted expression.

Her voice was shrill and trembling, her whole body shaking, her lips quivering: "Mr. Lu, please don't fire me, you can't do this..."

"Mr. Lu, you really can't fire me..."

But Lu Jingci had already dialed the number of the bodyguard downstairs, saying, "If you don't leave, you'll become the biggest obstacle on my path to pursuing Ningning sooner or later."

"You seem quite scheming, like you're incorrigible. What if you cause trouble again someday, and Ningning thinks I'm not clean, that I'm involved with other women, and misunderstands me? Wouldn't that make my road to winning her back even longer?"

"Since you won't leave on your own, we'll have to have the bodyguards escort you out."

The call connected, and amidst Zhou Yun's sobs and the bodyguard's response, Xu Wuning watched the entire process. Before the bodyguard arrived, she left through the door.

She made herself a cup of coffee, blew on the rim, and sat down in her office.

It was like watching a show, quite a lively one, a drama between a male and female scheming woman.

Tsk.

I'm speechless. Lu Jingci is hilarious; he's quite self-aware.

He not only knows he's a yandere, but he also knows he's a saint, a green tea bitch, and he's quite fashionable.

Although she hadn't forgiven him yet, Xu Wuning still smiled and laughed, amused by his words about being a "green tea" (a manipulative woman), and continued working on the documents at hand.

……

A dozen minutes later.

There was a knock on the office door. Xu Wuning looked up and saw Lu Jingci walk in.

He should have taken care of Zhou Yun's matter.

Xu Wuning was wondering what this guy was doing here again.

The next second, Lu Jingci appeared with an innocent and naive look on his face as he held up the document in his hand and said:

"Ningning, I didn't mean to bother you. I know that you kicked me out just now because you didn't want to see me again."

"However, I'm here on official business. This document I have here needs your signature."

His tone of voice was just like Zhou Yun's, and he seemed to do the same things.

Could it be that he got some inspiration from Zhou Yun's behavior just now and came up with some new idea?

Xu Wuning: "..."

Lu Jingci walked step by step toward the desk, a few thoughtful glances passing through his eyes beneath his eyelashes.

He just realized that Zhou Yun's method was ingenious—it was neither too daring nor too inappropriate, and it was something he could learn from.

Inside the house, just as he had walked a certain distance...

Suddenly, his eyes flickered twice, and his foot slipped. He imitated Zhou Yun, crying out in panic, "Ouch, my foot! I lost my balance!"

Documents flew everywhere.

He lunged straight into Xu Wuning's arms...
