“Brother my foot! You want to play with my legs? Weren’t you satisfied when you were inside my body?”
“Ah, General Manager Gu, you just don’t get it. It only feels good when you’re in your own body. Think about it—do you even enjoy touching yourself? It doesn’t really feel like anything. You’re just getting an eye-full.”
“You pervert! On behalf of all women, I hereby eliminate you, this scourge on society!”
Yu Xiaoduo: “…”
“Well then, you’d be a sinner, because you’d be depriving all women of happiness.”
Gu Wan’er was completely floored by Yu Xiaoduo. In the end, she gave up on eliminating the scourge, plopped down on the sofa, and panted heavily. She couldn’t catch him, and she couldn’t out-argue him. What a curse.
Ding~
Yu Xiaoduo, sprawled on the sofa, pulled out his phone and glanced at a text message. His brow furrowed immediately. “Hey, Gu Wan’er, didn’t you say you were going to give me a raise? Why hasn’t my salary gone up?”
Gu Wan’er’s mouth twitched. “Uh… it’s a bit complicated.”
“Did you lie to me again?” Yu Xiaoduo’s face darkened as he slowly walked toward her.
Gu Wan’er quickly explained, “I didn’t lie to you! But I need a reason to give you that much money, right? And Finance doesn’t report to me.”
“Then pay me out of your own pocket.”
“I… I don’t have any money either.”
Yu Xiaoduo: “…”
“Come on. You’re a rich heiress. Your whole apartment is filled with designer brands. Your walk-in closet alone is probably worth tens of millions. And you’re telling me you don’t have a few million in your pocket? Do you think I’m an idiot?”
Gu Wan’er said gloomily, “I don’t think you’re an idiot. My parents froze all my cards. For all I know, I might be even poorer than you right now.”
Oh crap. So after all this, I have to support you too.
“Fine. Great. You lied to me again. Goodbye. I’m done playing with you.”
Seeing that Yu Xiaoduo was about to leave, Gu Wan’er quickly chased after him. “Yu Xiaoduo, don’t go!”
“Don’t pull me.”
“Brother Yu! Brother Yu! What am I supposed to do if you leave?” Gu Wan’er had thrown caution to the wind. If Yu Xiaoduo really left, she wouldn’t stand a chance against those old foxes.
Yu Xiaoduo let out a cold snort. Aren’t you supposed to be the aloof ice queen? Go on, act aloof for me. “When things are fine, it’s ‘Yu Xiaoduo.’ When trouble comes, it’s ‘Brother Yu, Brother Yu.'”
Suddenly, Gu Wan’er’s expression turned plaintive. “I am, after all, half your woman. Can you really bear to push me into another man’s arms?”
Yu Xiaoduo nearly split in two. Here we go again with that line. Don’t you have anything fresh?
Seeing that this trick worked, Gu Wan’er was secretly delighted. Back when she was bored, she used to practice acting out scenes with her little sister. Now it was finally paying off. “I promise, as soon as I take full control of the company, I’ll pay you your entire salary in one lump sum.”
“Really?” Yu Xiaoduo had his back to Gu Wan’er. His somber expression had actually blossomed into a grin. Little Wan’er, you say your sister is naive, but you two are two peas in a pod.
“I promise.”
“Raise my salary.”
“Fine. I’ll double it.”
Yu Xiaoduo turned around and stared at Gu Wan’er. She took two steps back and crossed her arms over her chest. “What are you looking at?”
“What are you covering for? It’s not like I haven’t seen it before.”
Gu Wan’er rolled her eyes helplessly.
“Besides, didn’t you just say you’re half my woman?”
“Well, you were inside my body, and I was inside yours. That makes you half my man too.”
Yu Xiaoduo furrowed his brow deeply. Why do I feel like she just confused me? And why only half?
Ten minutes later, Yu Xiaoduo was spinning around in Gu Wan’er’s executive chair. He expertly turned on the computer and started playing games. He hadn’t farmed for relics lately, and he felt like he’d lost out on billions.
Gu Wan’er paced back and forth beside him, mulling over what had just happened. “I feel like they’re all trying to screw me over.”
“Your talent for realizing things after the fact is really something,” Yu Xiaoduo said with a laugh, his eyes on the computer.
“I was starting to think they’d actually sided with me.”
Yu Xiaoduo shot her a sideways glance and teased, “You were thinking too much. I’ll give them this—they’re good actors, and their scheme was definitely aimed at you. But do you know why you almost fell for it?”
“Why?”
“First, they declared they were on your side. Then Gu Xiao suggested robbing Peter to pay Paul. Gu Lin pointed out the downsides to gain your trust—but really, he was just setting the stage for holding back the remittance. When you hear that one opportunity is gone, you feel a little let down. But then another opportunity pops up out of nowhere, and that desire to seize it becomes even stronger. It makes you lose your usual good judgment.”
“And I’m sure they had everything ready, just waiting for you to say yes. You couldn’t even see through such a small trick. If I weren’t by your side, you wouldn’t even know you’d been sold out. In the future, if I’m not around, you need to watch out for yourself.” Yu Xiaoduo said this, but he also knew the saying, “the onlooker sees the game best.” Gu Wan’er just wanted it too badly.
Gu Wan’er pouted. “Then just stay by my side forever. Problem solved.” As soon as she said it, she felt the words sounded a bit strange.
She quickly explained, “What I mean is, I can hire you as my consultant.”
Seeing the little expression on Gu Wan’er’s face, Yu Xiaoduo grinned. “Wan’er Sis, you wouldn’t happen to have a little crush on your naughty little brother, would you?”
Gu Wan’er: “…”
“Who has a crush on you? Get up. You’re sitting in my chair playing games.”
“So stingy. Let me finish this commission.”
“You’re not getting any younger, and you’re still playing these anime games? Tsk, tsk, tsk.”
“None of your business. Don’t you dare touch me, Gu Wan’er.”
Inevitably, another wrestling match over the computer broke out. If they didn’t have at least one fight a day, they’d feel uncomfortable all day.
Seeing that it was already noon, Yu Xiaoduo said casually, “Go eat with them. Try to stay away from greasy stuff. Your medicine is on your desk. Take it after the meal.”
“Aren’t you coming?”
“I’m the secretary. If I have to follow you just to eat, does that mean I have to scrub your back when you take a shower too?”
“Hmph. In your dreams.” Gu Wan’er pursed her little lips and left first.
Watching Gu Wan’er walk away, Yu Xiaoduo let out a sigh. What am I supposed to do now? This really is a life-or-death situation. And it’s already Tuesday.
Looks like there’s only one option: have Gu Wan’er apply for a bank loan.
But that probably won’t work either. The process takes time, and they need results by next Monday.
Meanwhile, in Gu Xiao’s office, Gu Lin was also present. Two faces appeared on the screen on the wall. One of them was Gu Yuanli from the night before, still wearing his sunglasses. The other was a handsome man—the “crown prince” of the Gu family, Gu Mingqin. He looked very refined, with a mole under one eye, giving him an overall impression of an elegant, unconventional beauty.
“That man named Yu Xiaoduo. I want all the information on him.” Gu Yuanli’s voice was low and grim. He hadn’t expected such a good trap to be thwarted like that.
Gu Xiao quickly bowed his head in acknowledgment. “Second Young Master, I’ll have someone look into him right away.”
“Gu Lin, go make contact with the Liang family. See if we can buy up the shares they hold. Money is no object.” Gu Mingqin’s tone was flat, betraying no emotion whatsoever.
“Understood. I’ll get in touch immediately.”
“Brother my foot! You want to play with my legs? Weren’t you satisfied when you were inside my body?”
“Ah, General Manager Gu, you just don’t get it. It only feels good when you’re in your own body. Think about it—do you even enjoy touching yourself? It doesn’t really feel like anything. You’re just getting an eye-full.”
