Gu Yunxi looked at Xiao Tianyu in horror, wondering if there's any lock in the world that this guy can't handle?
Gu Yunxi was utterly puzzled. How is Xiao Tianyu faster at unlocking than she is with a password key? Seriously, how is he so incredible? And why doesn't this show-off become a thief? Why doesn't he fly to the heavens?
So, Gu Yunxi asked, "How did you get in here?"
"Of course, I walked in!" Xiao Tianyu gave Gu Yunxi a side-eye. If he didn't walk in, did he crawl in? This lady asks the strangest questions.
Wait, Tianyu, why does that sentence sound familiar to me?
Gu Yunxi was speechless and asked again: "I'm asking how you unlocked this door?"
But then, Xiao Tianyu reached out to touch her forehead, taking Gu Yunxi by surprise: "What are you doing?"
"I just wanted to see if you're feeling feverish!" Xiao Tianyu said earnestly: "Not feverish? Hmm, the temperature is normal; could it be an internal fever?"
"..." Hearing this, Gu Yunxi was left speechless. Why do I feel this bastard is getting more shameless? Feverish? Do you really think I'm a loose woman? Hmph...
If possible, Gu Yunxi really wanted to grab a kitchen knife and chop Xiao Tianyu into pieces—that might ease the hatred in her heart. Yet, this scoundrel is just so shameless.
Gu Yunxi snorted coldly: "Don't joke around with me. I'm asking how you got in here!"
"This woman is bizarre; I told her I walked in, yet she asks again?"
"You…"
And then Xiao Tianyu interrupted: "Whose house is this?"
"Mine!"
"Who gave it to you?"
"You did!"
"See, there it is!" Xiao Tianyu gave Gu Yunxi another side-eye: "Since I gifted it to you, I have a spare key, obviously. Ah~ This woman's intelligence is really worrying; I'm anxious for you!"
"..." How can this guy's words render me speechless?
Ring ring ring~
At this moment, a phone rang in Gu Yunxi's LV bag. Gu Yunxi casually picked up her LV bag, pressed the answer button, and soon a voice came from the other end: "Director, Murong Yunlong has gone to the Gu Corporation!"
"Got it!" With that, Gu Yunxi hung up the phone, her beautiful eyes fiercely eyeing Xiao Tianyu: "Come with me!"
"Where to?"
"To the Gu Corporation!"
"Not going!" Xiao Tianyu responded.
"Really not going?"
"I swear!"
"Alright!" Gu Yunxi suddenly smiled: "If you don't go, I'll take the Gu Corporation under my name. I guess you won't mind…"
"Hold on, I'll go!" Xiao Tianyu quickly interrupted.
Damn, this woman is thinking of embezzling under the guise of being the executive director of Tianyu International, huh? Don't even think about it. Also, I'd like to ask, how can you have such guts, daring to embezzle right in front of the CEO, and so openly at that.
Xiao Tianyu's thoughts were accurate; it was true that the Gu Corporation was originally Gu Yunxi's, but now it belongs to Murong Group. If Gu Yunxi acquires the Gu Corporation by leveraging her position as Tianyu International's executive director, then the Gu Corporation becomes under Tianyu International.
And now, Gu Yunxi wants to put it under her name. If this isn't using her position for embezzlement, then what is?
Gu Yunxi's beautiful eyes sparkled: "Didn't you say you weren't going?"
"Can't I suddenly change my mind?" Xiao Tianyu replied earnestly.
Ha~
Gu Yunxi smiled sweetly. Did I finally win for once? Should I open a bottle of red wine to celebrate? Seeing Xiao Tianyu embarrassed was the happiest moment for Gu Yunxi.
...
Gu Corporation.
Ever since Gu Corporation was acquired by Murong Group, even its name had changed. But at the financial conference recently, every staff member of Gu Corporation expressed their shock.
"Did you watch the news today?"
"Of course, I did. I can't believe our CEO's boyfriend is the CEO of Tianyu International. Incredible!"
"Yeah, Murong Bai was no match. No wonder the CEO dumped him!"
"Do you think our CEO will use Tianyu International's influence to regain control of Gu Corporation…"
"Shush… everyone, stop talking. Murong boss is here!"
A staff member made a silencing gesture, and shortly after, Murong Yunlong entered Gu Corporation accompanied by several suits-clad bodyguards. Murong Bai and Murong Pengfei were also present. Witnessing this scene, everyone opted to keep quiet.
Murong Yunlong then took the dedicated elevator straight to the CEO's office, unable to contain his anger upon entering.
"Failed, at the financial conference, I lost miserably!" Murong Yunlong's voice was venomous.
"Dad, it's just a temporary setback!" Murong Bai's lips curled into a sinister smile: "Once we deal with Xiao Tianyu and Gu Yunxi, those dogs, won't the entire financial world be ours again?"
"How do we deal with them? That's the CEO of Tianyu International, with countless bodyguards around him. To kill him is harder than ascending to heaven!" Murong Yunlong said.
"Dad, you're mistaken. Based on my investigations, Xiao Tianyu never has bodyguards around him, possibly because he's an Ancient Martial Artist. But still, how strong can an Ancient Martial Artist be?"
"Sure?" Murong Yunlong stood up. If that's the case, then it's doable.
"Absolutely sure!" Murong Bai licked his lips, chuckled darkly: "We just need to pay top dollar to hire a few Earth Level Realm assassins from the shadows, and Xiao Tianyu will be dead without a doubt!"
"Great, you handle this. If successful, you'll be the next head of Murong Group!"
Upon hearing this, Murong Pengfei had an unpleasant expression. But so what, even if Murong Bai were a eunuch, he was still Murong Yunlong's son, while Murong Pengfei was just some collateral branch of the Murong Family.
...
At this moment, in front of Gu Corporation's main gate.
Vroom~
A white sports car parked in the outdoor lot, instantly attracting the attention of many veteran staff of Gu Corporation because this car was all too familiar; it was the one that Gu Yunxi usually drove.
Click clack~
Luo Yan walked toward the parking lot in high heels and saw Gu Yunxi disembark from the car. Luo Yan spoke up: "President Gu, you've got some skills, even bagging the CEO of Tianyu International. I'm impressed!"
"Talking about what?" A chilly voice came from inside the car, and then the door opened, Xiao Tianyu stepped out.
Clang~
Seeing this, Luo Yan stumbled. What's he doing here too? Did he hear what I said earlier? Uh, CEO Xiao, I didn't mean it. If I knew you were here, I definitely wouldn't have said such things.
Gulp~
Feeling the cold aura emanating from Xiao Tianyu, Luo Yan gulped and tried to calm herself. In her eyes, Xiao Tianyu was like a killing demon. It's no surprise; his presence is damn intimidating now.
