Gu Nanxi placed both hands on Zhong Li’s office chair, leaning in close: "Are you stupid? Can’t you see I just wanted you to have dinner with me?"
"I saw, but didn’t I just refuse you in a subtle way?"
Zhong Li discreetly averted her gaze, a few strands of hair clinging to her pale cheek.
Gu Nanxi’s well-defined fingers pinched Zhong Li’s chin, forcing her to look at him: "Want me to kiss you again?"
"You better not touch me again, we’re not right for each other, and there’s no chance."
Gu Nanxi’s sharply cut thin lips curved slightly upward, and he unexpectedly lifted Zhong Li from the chair, turning around and pressing her against the desk, his lips meeting hers accurately.
Since they were at the company, Zhong Li didn’t dare scream out loud, only managing to push desperately, but the difference in strength between men and women was useless.
Gu Nanxi pinned Zhong Li’s flailing hands above her head, his other hand trailing down her waist, slipping under the edge of her blouse.
Zhong Li’s mind was as chaotic as a fallen ball of yarn; she was utterly unable to move.
She had no idea how long the kiss lasted, but her blouse was unknowingly undone, and Gu Nanxi’s marks landed on her collarbone, her neck...
Zhong Li screamed in panic, "Help!" If she didn’t find a way to stop it, she couldn’t imagine what would happen next.
Suddenly, the office door was pushed open from the outside. Zhang Ming from the Sales Department, having just finished his work, was preparing to go home when he heard Zhong Li’s cry for help and rushed in without thinking.
Confronted with the scene before him, Zhang Ming was too embarrassed to enter or leave.
Gu Nanxi quickly pulled Zhong Li up from the desk, shielding her with his embrace and wrapped her tightly in his coat.
"Who told you to come in without knocking?"
Gu Nanxi’s icy voice was tinged with annoyance. He was already known for his cold demeanor at work, but now it made him even more intimidating.
Zhang Ming felt a sudden chill run down his spine, feeling as if he had landed in big trouble: "I’m really sorry, President Gu, I’ll leave immediately."
"Stop. If there’s a second person in the company who knows about what just happened, you can go to the HR department to process your resignation."
"Yes, yes, President Gu, I didn’t see anything."
After closing the door, Zhang Ming took a deep breath, realizing he didn’t see their President Gu had such a habit of coercing female subordinates.
Zhong Li was almost scared to death just now. She fiercely pushed away Gu Nanxi’s arms that held her, hurriedly straightening her clothes, grabbed her coat, and ran out without a word.
Gu Nanxi lifted his hand to pinch his brow and quickly chased after her: "Zhong Li, stop."
Zhong Li continued walking forward as if she hadn’t heard, her eyes slightly red as she pressed the elevator button, hurriedly stepping inside.
Just as the elevator doors were about to close, Gu Nanxi rushed in sideways, frowning as he looked at Zhong Li, who was about to cry: "Just now... I just wanted you to agree to be my woman."
Zhong Li kept her head down, not looking at him. Ever since the scars from the fire, she had been particularly sensitive about others seeing them.
"Look at me."
Gu Nanxi pinched Zhong Li’s chin with his fingertips, slightly lifting it, and as he saw her tears, his heart ached slightly: "I’m sorry."
Before this, he had never apologized to anyone, even if he was in the wrong.
