Pursuing Her Best Friend after Confession Failed-Chapter 131 - 98: Want Some Excitement? Then Have an Office Romance_2
"Li Yuan, you’re a big bad wolf! Please, don’t touch there... This is the office, I’m scared..."
"It’s fine. I’ve locked the office door, so no one can disturb us."
"Don’t do it here, Li Yuan, please! If you keep this up, I’ll really get angry..."
"Zhijin, my little treasure, what did you eat growing up? Your figure is amazing!"
"Sob, sob... Li Yuan, you just love to bully me..."
"Don’t bite my mouth! You bit the wrong place... a little lower..."
...
Just as the sounds in the office were getting softer and Xia Zhijin’s cheeks were growing redder, the phone on the desk suddenly rang, shattering the moment.
As if grasping a lifeline, Xia Zhijin blurted out, "Li Yuan, there’s a call."
Li Yuan didn’t mind at all and continued his expert maneuvers. "Ignore it. Let it ring."
Xia Zhijin broke free for a moment, but before she could finish speaking, Li Yuan sealed her soft, delicious mouth again.
"But... but what if it’s something really important?"
"Nothing is more important than you."
"Sob, sob... Li Yuan, please, don’t be like this, okay?"
"Who is so annoying, calling seven or eight times already?" Li Yuan muttered, but he finally let Xia Zhijin go. 𝐟𝕣𝕖𝐞𝐰𝕖𝚋𝐧𝗼𝚟𝐞𝕝.𝗰𝐨𝐦
With her face flushed, Xia Zhijin struggled out of Li Yuan’s grasp. She hurried to the side to straighten her clothes and fasten her buttons, her cheeks as red as blood as she trembled in the corner.
In front of Li Yuan, this big bad wolf, she was like a lamb to the slaughter, utterly unable to resist his advances as her defenses were swiftly breached one by one.
When it came to romance, she was as innocent as a blank sheet of paper. How could she possibly stand a chance against a seasoned veteran like Li Yuan? Layer by layer, her armor was stripped away, her defenses shattered...
Li Yuan glanced at the shy, trembling Xia Zhijin. He licked his lips with unsatisfied desire and sniffed the unique fragrance on his hands. Seeing her hiding in the corner like a frightened kitten, a radiant smile spread across his face.
This is the life. Truly thrilling. No wonder so many young people want office romances. There’s a reason for it; it really is exciting.
Picking up the phone that had been ringing for three or four minutes, Li Yuan saw that it was Xu Zhi.
Could something have happened to Xu Zhi? A sense of foreboding struck him. Otherwise, if it wasn’t particularly urgent, he wouldn’t have called seven or eight times in a row. After all, Li Yuan wasn’t his girlfriend, subject to a barrage of life-or-death calls.
Just as Li Yuan was about to call back, Xu Zhi’s call came through again.
Li Yuan hurriedly answered, asking anxiously, "Dazhi, what’s wrong? Has something happened?"
"Yuan, what could happen to me?" Xu Zhi’s tone was a bit strange. "What were you doing just now? Why weren’t you answering your phone?"
"There’s no emergency, yet you’re calling me frantically? You scared the hell out of me," Li Yuan said irritably. It was all this guy’s fault for interrupting his good time. "I was in the middle of something important. Hurry up and spit it out."
Hearing the edge in Li Yuan’s tone, Xu Zhi chuckled mischievously. "Yuan, you weren’t up to no good, were you?"
Li Yuan was speechless. The kid guessed right. If it weren’t for his incessant calls, I would have personally measured every inch of Xia Zhijin’s body with my hands today. This innocent treasure of a girl has no idea how to resist. In front of me, she’s as pure as a white lotus.
"Stop beating around the bush. Why are you calling me?"
"Looks like I guessed right! Not bad, you great author, finding a new love so quickly. If Bai found out, she’d cry for three days and three nights," Xu Zhi teased. He’d only asked casually, not actually expecting to be right.
But then again, it makes sense. Li Yuan has the height and the looks, and now he’s famous at a young age, earning a million a month. What kind of girl couldn’t he get? The girls at Daxia University would probably throw themselves at him like moths to a flame once they learned his true identity. It’s a pity for Bai, though. One gentle refusal might have cost her a lifetime...
Li Yuan was startled and asked, "You know all about it?"
Xu Zhi cracked a sly grin. "Come on, Yuan, you don’t think I live in the last century, do you? I surf the internet too, you know."
"Besides, ’Battle Starry Sky’ is a huge deal now. It’s all over the internet, with every forum frantically reposting and discussing it. The book has gone mainstream! ’Monthly income of a million, Daxia University freshman, author pen name: Life Like Summer Flowers’...
"You can’t tell me that’s not you.
"Tsk tsk, Yuan, you kept that well under wraps. If I hadn’t heard someone mention it by chance, I wouldn’t have even known you’d given up martial arts for literature to become a great writer.
"Now I remember! No wonder you were hanging out in internet cafes every day after the college entrance exams. It turns out that after being rejected by Bai Weixi, you turned your sorrow into strength and just started hacking life..."
Xu Zhi rambled on excitedly. Suddenly, so many things made sense. He never expected their ordinary high school class would produce such a prodigy.
A million a month! That’s over a million, and it’s bound to be even more in the future. He’s truly a self-made, first-generation millionaire, making a living purely on his own talent. That’s what makes it so astonishing and why it’s spreading like wildfire online. A million a month, a freshman at a 985 university, becoming a legend with a single book... He’s got all the buffs stacked!
...
After a moment of shock, Li Yuan regained his composure. He had anticipated this day would come after his identity was exposed last night, just not so soon.
"So, Xu Dazhi, you called me all those times just to tell me this?"
Xu Zhi mumbled, "My dear great author, you haven’t forgotten what you said yesterday, have you?"
"What did I say yesterday?" Li Yuan asked. Having just emerged from a world of soft comforts, he truly couldn’t recall.
"Damn, Yuan! Wang Shuai and I are already at your school gate, and you’re telling me you forgot?
"You said just last night that we’d get together with our high school classmates, and you’ve already forgotten?
"To think that Wang Shuai and I skipped our afternoon nap just to rush over here on the bus. Damn, Yuan. Forgetting about this really hurts your brothers’ feelings."
Hearing Xu Zhi’s resentful tone, Li Yuan couldn’t help but feel embarrassed. He had indeed forgotten his promise to meet up with Xu Zhi and Wang Shuai. It had been over half a month since they had left their hometown to attend university in Modu, and they still hadn’t had a chance to get together.
Li Yuan laughed awkwardly. "It’s all my fault. I got so busy I forgot all about it. Where are you now?"
"Where else would we be? We’re at your school gate," Xu Zhi replied.
Li Yuan was speechless. "You’re already here? It’s barely past two in the afternoon."
Xu Zhi thought about Wang Yuchen. She had ignored him for three days, only to suddenly call and ask for a favor. He had a strange feeling that something special was going to happen today. He guessed she was planning to play matchmaker for the old flames, Li Yuan and Bai Weixi. But from the sound of it, Yuan might have really found someone new. The potential scene, he thought, would be incredibly exciting to watch.
"Wang Shuai and I were going to come this morning, but our plans changed at the last minute, so we’re a bit late," Xu Zhi said. "Yuan, you’d better be ready to treat us to a huge dinner tonight."
Li Yuan chided with a laugh, "You two eat like pigs. Aren’t you afraid of bankrupting me?"
Xu Zhi chuckled wickedly, "How could we? You’re the writer who earns a million a month. Even if our appetites increased tenfold, we couldn’t eat you out of house and home."
His best friends from high school had come all this way to see him; he had no reason to refuse. Li Yuan could only agree, "Alright then. Wait for me, I’ll be over in a bit."
