Chapter 10 What does she want to do?
1005 Words
As she spoke such affectionate words, Qiu Yiyang felt a little embarrassed and quickly jumped off the dining table, escaping the situation. "I'll go get my school bag."
Qiu Xueyi couldn’t help but laugh, shaking her head. Why didn’t his personality take after hers a little more?
Today, Qiu Xueyi arrived at the office earlier than Gu Feibai. With some free time on her hands, she pulled out the demo she had recorded the night before to give it a listen.
Without her earphones, she played the audio softly, ensuring she could hear it but it wouldn’t disturb anyone outside.
Standing by the doorway, hands in his pockets, Gu Feibai leaned against the frame, listening intently to the work happening inside.
His assistant, standing by, noticed Gu Feibai’s unreadable expression and couldn’t help but feel a pang of worry for Qiu Xueyi. Was she really this careless, letting herself get distracted so early in the morning?
Once the song ended, Gu Feibai finally stepped into the room, signaling to Shen Mian behind him, "You stay outside."
"Understood," Shen Mian replied, feeling a twinge of sympathy for Qiu Xueyi. If he had stayed, he might have been able to help her out of this situation.
But now, it seemed like Qiu Xueyi’s time as his assistant might be short-lived before she was replaced.
Inside the CEO’s office, Gu Feibai's voice suddenly broke the silence. "Who composed that song?"
The unexpected question startled Qiu Xueyi, and she hurriedly turned off her phone, standing up to greet him. "Good morning, Mr. Gu."
Ignoring her greeting, Gu Feibai repeated, "Where is that song from?"
"I wrote it myself," Qiu Xueyi answered truthfully.
It was only then that Gu Feibai recalled Shen Mian mentioning before that this assistant of his was no ordinary person—she was, in fact, a world-renowned violinist.
"A world-famous violinist, and yet you’ve humbled yourself to be my assistant?" Gu Feibai commented, an amused smile tugging at his lips as he sat at his desk, sprawling comfortably in his chair.
"I told you......" Qiu Xueyi teased with a flirtatious smile, stepping closer to him.
Though it appeared as if she was trying to seduce him, she leaned back against the desk rather than towards him.
"I'm here for you, Mr. Gu~" she added with a playful glance, her gaze full of intent.
Her ability to charm had become more practiced. Gu Feibai, slightly flattered by the attention of such an alluring woman, felt his ego swell. However, despite her words of seduction, she never followed through with any actual action.
This made Gu Feibai curious. What was her true motive?
Suddenly, Gu Feibai sat up straight, wrapping his arm around Qiu Xueyi's slender waist and pulling her close. His presence engulfed her, causing her to instinctively press her hands against his chest in resistance.
Feeling the firmness of his muscles under her palms, she realized he was laughing. "Weren’t you trying to seduce me? Why are you trying to push me away now?" he teased.
"No, I wasn't," Qiu Xueyi replied, suppressing her discomfort as she wrapped her arms around his neck and rested her head on his shoulder. How many women had sat in this very position before?
"You just startled me," she continued in a playful tone, but Gu Feibai frowned, clearly irritated by her overly sweet voice, and pushed her away. "This is work time. Don't think about such foolish things."
Frustrated, Qiu Xueyi walked away, biting her tongue. He was the one who started it, after all!
Watching her storm off, Gu Feibai’s lips curled into a faint smile, one he didn’t even notice himself.
At the doorway, Shen Mian stood holding a stack of documents, swallowing nervously at what he had just witnessed.
Should he inform the CEO now that they had finally tracked down the woman from the airport? It turned out that the woman was none other than the 'Sophie' standing before him.
But Sophie had a son!
How could she have the nerve to try to seduce their CEO while having a child? What was going on in this woman's head?
For the past three days, Qiu Xuehuo had been bombarding Qiu Xueyi with emails, urging her for updates on the progress. Annoyed, Qiu Xueyi finally sent the demo on the third day, just to get her off her back.
The demo was sent from the office, and the suspense Qiu Xueyi had created was merely the appetizer. This was the real gift she had prepared for Qiu Xuehuo.
That day, Gu Feibai overheard the demo by accident, but this unplanned event only served to heat things up.
Qiu Xueyi timed everything perfectly. She knew when Gu Feibai would arrive home, and the delivery of the demo would coincide with his return.
When the butler went to the door to receive the package, Gu Feibai arrived home at the same moment.
Overwhelmed by the number of deliveries, the butler fumbled, dropping a few packages.
Gu Feibai bent down to help pick them up, ignoring the butler's frantic protest, "Sir, no need! I can handle it!"
Without a word, Gu Feibai picked up a small, lightweight package and examined it, his expression darkening.
The sender's address was the office, and the sender was Sophie, but the recipient wasn't him.
Gu Feibai checked the phone number, confirming that this ‘Sophie’ was indeed the same woman who had suddenly appeared and insisted on being his assistant.
Could she possibly know Qiu Xuehuo?
A cold gleam flickered in Gu Feibai's eyes.
Was Sophie planted by Qiu Xuehuo to spy on him? No wonder her appearance had been so abrupt and suspicious.
Sending a spy to seduce him? Gu Feibai was increasingly puzzled by what Qiu Xuehuo was plotting.
Meanwhile, Qiu Xuehuo stood in front of her mirror, inspecting her outfit one last time before turning to the maid beside her. "How do I look?"
"Beautiful! The master will love it," the maid replied sweetly, knowing exactly how to flatter her.
