"Hey? Is this book teaching him to speak to his online girlfriend in a boss's tone?" I felt a bit curious about the book. But I didn't have time to ask because the client arrived early.
I must say, Lu Jin's professionalism once again impressed me. He was confident and knowledgeable, and every time he introduced a product, he seemed to radiate brilliance, standing out especially at the dinner table. The client was very satisfied with the contract and signed it without waiting for Lu Jin to say much: "As Mr. Lu said, let's drink!"
Recalling Lin Yue's words, I quickly took the wine glass: "Mr. Gu, let me drink." I had a good tolerance for alcohol. Back in college, I had downed a whole case of beer for Lu Fu, who was bullied by the school bully, and he was completely impressed, becoming my close friend.
"No need," Lu Jin frowned. Just as he finished speaking, a glass of red wine went down.
The client was shocked and couldn't help but clap: "Mr. Lu, your secretary has quite the drinking capacity!" He poured me another glass: "If you like drinking, have some more."
I ended up drinking too much. My mind was clear, but my stomach felt bloated as I made several trips to the restroom. In the end, Lu Jin carried me back effortlessly, hoisting my staggering form over his shoulder: "I told you not to drink. Although he is a client, he's a stable one; you don't need to compete in drinking."
"I'm not drunk," I hurried to explain, but as he carried me, my stomach churned violently, making me feel nauseous.
"Don't pretend," he said.
"Is it Mianmian or Mianmian 29o22?" He carried me to my room and said, "I'll take good care of you tonight."
I was tossed onto the bed. He brought tea and water and even reached to unbutton my shirt. He averted his gaze as if summoning great courage: "I won't peek; I read that when someone is drunk, they should wipe their body."
"I'm not drunk." But since he wanted to unbutton it, I didn't object.
"Who drinks that much without getting drunk? To be honest with you, I'm a lightweight." He frowned, and in the quiet atmosphere, I could clearly hear his breathing.
His fingers fumbled awkwardly at my collar. His hands were so clumsy. After a long struggle, he only managed to pop off one button.
"Sorry, I'll buy you a new one tomorrow." Lu Jin stood up with his back to me: "Or we can skip wiping your body; just drink some water."
But Lu Jin's ears were red as he dared not look at me; water spilled from his hand onto the blanket.
I saw panic on Lu Jin's face for the first time. "I'm sorry, I didn't mean to. The bed is off-limits now. How about we go to my room instead?"
"But..."
"I don't mean it like that. I mean you can sleep in my room, and I'll watch over you while you sleep."
"Huh?"
"Don't worry, I'll keep my hands to myself and won't do anything inappropriate."
After saying that, Lu Jin fell silent. The formidable CEO of Lu Group seemed to struggle with words.
After a long pause, he sighed as if deflated. "This book doesn't teach anything useful; what kind of lines are these?"
"Then how about I teach you?" I wasn't drunk, but I was feeling a bit tipsy, especially with the alcohol coursing through me.
Before I could react, my hand was already resting on his abs.
Damn!
They felt so much better than in the videos!
I casually unbuttoned his shirt.
"This is how you do it; you don't just pull at it, got it?" In the dim light, I found a way to save face.
"Got it." Lu Jin was being surprisingly obedient.
"Good boy."
I reached out and tugged at his tie. Lu Jin's face loomed closer, his breath brushing against mine, and I could almost see each distinct eyelash.
So handsome.
A hundred times more attractive than in the videos.
"As long as you've learned, I'm going to sleep now." The atmosphere was thick with tension, but I chickened out; I admit I'm a coward!
I let go and fell back onto the bed.
But the next second, Lu Jin leaned down slightly and asked sweetly, "Can I... have a goodnight kiss?"
It would be a lie to say I wasn't moved, but he was my boss now; even if I wanted to flirt with him, there were limits.
Fortunately, I'd had some drinks—one kiss wouldn't hurt, right?
Lu Jin was just too tempting!
I lifted my head and captured his lips with mine. I felt him stiffen for a moment, but he quickly responded by cradling the back of my head with his large hand.
He deepened the kiss.
I was almost breathless from it.
In a daze, I thought I heard Lu Jin say in a pitiful tone, "I told you you were drunk; you didn't believe me."
"But you wouldn't blame me for taking advantage of the situation, right?"
"We're boyfriend and girlfriend." It sounded like he was trying to convince himself of that fact.
But I never expected it; I just kissed him. I wasn't drunk, but Lu Jin was.
Red spots began to appear on his face, and soon his lips turned pale. Then, his body uncontrollably leaned toward me, pressing down hard. I was almost instantly awake.
"Mr. Lu?" I panicked a bit as Lu Jin's body heat spread from his shirt to mine.
I called an ambulance to take Lu Jin to the hospital. His complexion grew increasingly pale, and he struggled to breathe, yet he kept gripping my hand tightly, unwilling to let go.
I couldn't reach Lu Fu, so I had no choice but to inform Lin Yue.
In the middle of the night, Lin Yue rushed over and scolded me without hesitation.
"Is this how you take care of Mr. Lu?"
Lin Yue arrived as soon as he heard the news, his hair a bit disheveled: "Didn't I warn you that Mr. Lu can't drink? He has a severe allergy to alcohol that can lead to fatal symptoms! I told you to help him avoid drinking, not to land him in the hospital! Are you trying to kill your boss while accompanying him on a business trip? You wrote in your resume that you can hold your liquor well; does he really need to protect you from alcohol? Tell me, how much did Mr. Lu drink?"
He didn't drink at all.
I felt a wave of guilt wash over me; if I had known how severe Lu Jin's allergic reaction to alcohol could be, that goodnight kiss should never have happened.
"Why aren't you saying anything? One bottle? Or two?"
"There wasn't much; he just came into contact with a little alcohol." How could I explain?
"A little is still too much! For over ten years, I've taken great care of Lu Jin; he's never been hospitalized because of alcohol!"
Lin Yue looked at me with red eyes: "I'll take care of Mr. Lu tonight; I don't want to see you!"
I was pushed out, but I didn't leave.
I watched as Lin Yue busily attended to Lu Jin, caring for him deeply and clearly worried about him. Although Lu Jin was unconscious, they seemed like a perfectly synchronized pair.
And what about me? I was just an online girlfriend infatuated with Lu Jin's appearance, never having truly understood him.
The next morning, I returned to the office and submitted my resignation letter, leaving a message for Lu Jin: [Mr. Lu, I'm really sorry; we just aren't suited for each other.]
Then I deleted him from my contacts.
Upon hearing the news, Lu Fu rushed back from abroad immediately.
She boarded the private jet and turned off her phone, reassuring me, "I told you my uncle is unreliable; he's just not human! Luckily, you cut your losses in time! Let me guess how he treated you!"
"Did he hit you?"
Lu Fu examined my skin closely, frowning. "Or did he scold you?"
"No." Was her impression of her uncle really that bad?
"Then did he threaten you? Or imprison you? Did he make some bizarre demands? Or make you work like a mule?"
Lu Fu grew more agitated with each question. "Lemian, if he treated you like that, I would report him to the police!"
"Not exactly..."
"Is there something even worse?"
Lu Fu stood up in frustration. "Could it be that he has some special issues regarding relationships...?"
It seemed she noticed my swollen lip.
"Did your uncle do this to your mouth?"
What kind of outrageous accusation was that?
"No, I was just a bit sad and cried too much." I quickly changed the subject.
"Well, he's not a good person; his temper and personality are strange. I should call him and give him a piece of my mind!"
The plane hadn't taken off yet, and after hesitating for a moment, Lu Fu decided to call him for my sake. But it was Lin Yue who answered. "Who is this?"
Lu Fu, feeling timid, quietly hung up the phone. After a few seconds of contemplation, she asked me, "Why did Lin Yue answer the phone? Is the reason you broke up with my uncle because of her?"
"No, it's because I didn't understand him."
Actually, last night I had researched a lot about Lu Jin and discovered that before he established Lu Group's foothold, Lin Yue had helped him significantly. They seemed more like a couple—natural and in sync. Many matters abroad went smoothly because Lin Yue was involved, including every major project Lu Jin secured with her by his side.
I had come across rumors about Lu Jin that were also related to Lin Yue. One year, when Lin Yue drank too much and ended up throwing up, Lu Jin rushed to the scene and was photographed carrying her out of the hotel. There were even fans shipping them as a couple.
