Chapter 2: Slapped
1443 Words
In the CEO's office of Ji Group.
It was not yet nine o'clock. Ji Yunze's fair and slender fingers tapped on the desk, and his sharp eyes stared straight at that door.
Soon, Xiao Tongyu walked in holding a coffee cup.
"Mr. Ji, your coffee."
"Alright."
Unprecedentedly, Ji Yunze reached out to take it. The moment his fingers touched Xiao Tongyu's, he felt her body tremble slightly.
This was really strange. Clearly, she had been flirting with him so much before, but now she was like a little rabbit seeing a tiger. What on earth was this woman thinking?
Ji Yunze looked up and caught a glimpse of the red mark on the woman's exposed fair neck.
He frowned. "Button up your shirt."
Xiao Tongyu quickly lowered her head, blushed slightly, and immediately buttoned up the buttons. "Sorry, Mr. Ji."
Perhaps because of her childhood experiences, Xiao Tongyu had always disliked buttoning up her shirt completely, as it made her feel like she couldn't breathe. So, before going out, she had specially applied foundation on her neck, but unexpectedly, it still didn't cover it all up.
"Mr. Ji, I'll go out now."
"Alright."
Looking at the woman's graceful back, Ji Yunze thought of last night. Suddenly, his lower abdomen tightened, and his Adam's apple involuntarily slid up and down.
He considered himself not a man driven by lust. Over the years, he had been through thick and thin in the business world of the Imperial Capital, and there were many women who had been brought to him. But those women with a strong smell of rouge just made him feel disgusted.
At that time, Ji Yunze's assistant, Wu Yan, was on his wedding leave. And this Xiao Tongyu, not knowing where she got the courage, actually came to recommend herself as his personal secretary.
Ji Yunze knew very well that she was also a woman who wanted to climb into his bed. But he was just curious. With just a bit better looks, who on earth gave her the courage to do so?
He wanted to see how long she could last.
Sure enough, as expected, not long after, this woman always flirted with him intentionally or unintentionally, and even had the audacity to put her hand on his thigh.
If it were any other woman, Ji Yunze would have already thrown her away and broken her hand.
But for this woman, it seemed he couldn't bring himself to do it.
Last night, after attending a cocktail party, Ji Yunze was sent back to the hotel suite by Xiao Tongyu.
Suddenly, he picked her up around the waist, turned over, and pinned her down on the bed.
He had thought she would take the initiative to cooperate, but who would have thought that this woman would cry so pitifully, and her whole body was shaking.
"Didn't you want to get into my bed? Hmm? Scared now?"
"Mr. Ji, I'm sorry. I was wrong... Could you please spare me?"
"It's too late."
Ji Yunze couldn't remember how many times he had her. He only remembered that each time made him more intoxicated. It was as if this woman had a kind of magic that made him go crazy and become addicted.
Finally, she fainted.
Unexpectedly, it was her first time.
What on earth was she thinking?
……
Xiao Tongyu sat at the desk outside the CEO's office and felt a twinge of pain in her lower abdomen.
It was still a long time before her menstrual period, so it couldn't be that her period was coming soon. Could it be...
Was it because there were too many times last night?
She only remembered that she had been crying and begging for mercy, and finally, the pain made her faint.
This Ji Yunze was really heartless.
"Tongtong, do you have a stomachache?" Su Rou asked with concern when she saw that Xiao Tongyu didn't look well.
Su Rou was Ji Yunze's assistant secretary. She was one year older than Xiao Tongyu and had been working in Ji Group for three or four years.
When others were all speculating about what exactly Xiao Tongyu had relied on to get promoted from an ordinary administrative staff to Mr. Ji's personal secretary, Su Rou was actually very supportive of her.
"Xiao Tongyu must have her own abilities to have won Mr. Ji's recognition. All those who have nothing to do with it, please shut up."
Xiao Tongyu covered her stomach and lowered her voice. "It's okay. I'll be fine after drinking some hot water."
Just then, there came the sound of high heels clicking. The little girl at the front desk ran in behind a woman.
"Sorry, Secretary Xiao, Secretary Su. Miss Qin didn't make an appointment. She said she's here to see Mr. Ji."
Qin Mengyan gave her a disdainful look. "Do I need an appointment to see Mr. Ji?"
Xiao Tongyu stood up. "I'm sorry, Miss Qin. Mr. Ji is having a meeting in the office. After the meeting is over, I'll ask if you can go in."
"Xiao Tongyu, who gave you the right to stop me from seeing Mr. Ji?" Qin Mengyan looked at her disdainfully, and anger gradually appeared on her beautifully made-up face.
It was this face that had been intimate with the man Xiao Tongyu once liked the most. She would recognize it even if it turned to ashes.
No, besides that, during her junior high and high school years, Xiao Tongyu had been bullied by several rich and pretty girls in the noble school.
They threw her schoolbag, stole her homework books, pulled her hair, and laughed at her for being fat and rustic.
The one who took the lead was Qin Mengyan.
But Xiao Tongyu didn't dare to say anything. Since her parents had passed away, she was the only one left in the world, and no one would help her.
"Sorry, Miss Qin. Whether you can see Mr. Ji or not is not up to me. If I let you in rashly and Mr. Ji gets angry, you know his temper. Neither of us will end up well."
Qin Mengyan was so angry that her eyes widened. "You mean Mr. Ji Yunze won't see me and is asking me to leave?"
Qin Mengyan, who had been pampered since childhood and was arrogant, couldn't stand such words. She raised her hand and slapped Xiao Tongyu in the face. In an instant, the sound of "slap" resounded loudly.
"Xiao Tongyu! Who do you think you are?! You were a piece of trash in high school! Now that you've become Mr. Ji's secretary, you've gotten so arrogant?!"
Su Rou stood up angrily. "Miss Qin, this is Ji Group. Please behave yourself."
Xiao Tongyu covered her reddened left cheek. "Miss Qin, I'm working for Mr. Ji now. If I'm a piece of trash, then you're implying that Mr. Ji is someone who accepts trash?"
Qin Mengyan was immediately enraged. "You!!"
Just as she was about to hit Xiao Tongyu again, suddenly, a powerful hand grabbed her wrist.
Ji Yunze didn't know when he had come out.
"Which hand did you use to hit her? This one?"
He squeezed Qin Mengyan's wrist tighter and tighter, and she cried out in pain.
"Mr. Ji! My father's company is still in cooperation with Ji Group!"
"I asked you if it was this hand?"
There was a fierce look on Ji Yunze's face, and he looked so terrifying that he didn't seem human at all.
He was like a wild beast that had broken free from its shackles.
Xiao Tongyu quickly grabbed Ji Yunze's arm.
"Mr. Ji, it's okay. Miss Qin didn't mean it." She was afraid that the next second, Qin Mengyan's slender wrist would be broken.
After all, she had witnessed this man's strength.
Ji Yunze ignored her. He watched as Qin Mengyan's wrist gradually turned purple-red.
"Mr. Ji!" Xiao Tongyu grasped his arm even more tightly, as if it was a silent plea.
At that moment, last night flashed through Ji Yunze's mind, when the woman had clutched his clothes and begged him desperately.
He released his hand and slowly spat out one word: "Scram!"
Qin Mengyan rubbed her wrist. Her eyes were filled with tears from the pain, and her face was full of fear. She had never suffered such humiliation before. Her feet felt as if they were filled with lead, and she couldn't move at all.
Turning around, Ji Yunze said to his assistant, Wu Yan, who was beside him, "Call the security guards to drag her away and cancel all cooperation with the Qin family's company."
"Yes, Mr. Ji."
