Chapter 62: Is Being a Secretary High-Risk Now?
Although Shen Chi knew this guy had mistaken him for someone else, the sudden change was so drastic, as if he had become a different person, that Shen Chi felt a little at a loss.
“System, has Lu Chenzhou already come into contact with Ye Suxi?”
The system said, [In theory, they should at least have interacted online. But Ye Suxi doesn’t show his face during live streams. He only streams games, and because his voice sounds nice, his popularity has gone up a little now.]
Shen Chi had not seen Ye Suxi during this period. They had only chatted on WeChat a few times.
Ye Suxi was always very busy. Occasionally, when he messaged Shen Chi, it was to remind him that it would rain tomorrow and to remember to bring an umbrella, or that the weather was getting warmer and to remember sun protection.
More than once, Shen Chi could not help sighing. Who could bear to refuse such a considerate little Omega?
For a moment, Shen Chi was caught in his own thoughts and slightly neglected the sensitive big dog beside him. In just those few seconds, Lu Chenzhou captured it precisely.
Lu Chenzhou narrowed his eyes. Danger began to approach. “Baby, who are you thinking about?”
That “baby” instantly pulled Shen Chi back to reality. He held back the goosebumps that were about to rise and gave a soothing smile.
Who knew the other man would push further?
“Baby, do you not like me anymore?”
“Did I do something wrong?”
“Why won’t you pay attention to me? You’re not even willing to hug me.”
If he were facing a child, Shen Chi would have been very willing to coax him. But this guy was two years older than him. Facing such a handsome yet mature face, this was simply making things difficult.
Fortunately, Shen Chi was a professional.
“No, baby. I was just afraid you were angry or uncomfortable, so I was thinking about whether I should call Doctor Ji.”
As soon as he said this, Lu Chenzhou’s expression suddenly changed. “No doctor.”
Shen Chi only took it as his mentality regressing to that of a three-year-old, assuming that hearing “doctor” meant getting an IV or an injection. So he softened his voice and coaxed, “Okay, no doctor. Then shall I make you a cup of coffee? Don’t you like black coffee the most?”
As soon as he said this, Lu Chenzhou suddenly wrinkled his face.
“I don’t like black coffee.”
Shen Chi: ?
Lu Chenzhou said, “It’s bitter.”
Shen Chi was shocked. This guy drank a cup of black coffee every morning, and only now he was saying he did not like it?
“Then why did you drink it every day before?”
Lu Chenzhou hugged him like he was acting spoiled. Since Secretary Shen was unwilling to take the initiative, he could take the initiative himself. These were all small matters. As long as the person was in his arms, it was fine.
“I’m too sleepy in the morning.”
Only then did Shen Chi realize that he seemed to have accidentally discovered Lu Chenzhou’s little secret.
The cold, sharp-tongued domineering president was actually afraid of bitter coffee in private. Was this contrast really necessary?
Perhaps because of this tiny detail, Shen Chi felt that the Lu Chenzhou in front of him was not quite so frightening anymore. Holding back his laughter, he coaxed him with a little more sincerity this time. “Then should I add milk candy for you? Or should I make you a cup of warm milk?”
As an adult, Lu Chenzhou naturally chose both. After all, his wife was personally making it for him.
“I want both.”
The president’s pantry was right beside them. They did not need to pass by the secretary’s office, so Shen Chi was not worried about others seeing them. Although… even if they were seen, he had done nothing wrong from beginning to end. He was the victim. He simply did not want people to misunderstand.
At this moment, Lu Chenzhou was unexpectedly easy to coax. Aside from being a little clingy, he was manageable. In the end, Shen Chi really could not take it anymore and found an excuse.
“President Lu, I need to go to the restroom.”
Lu Chenzhou’s dark, deep eyes stared fixedly at him. Hearing this, the smile on his face gradually faded.
The relaxed atmosphere in the air disappeared instantly. When Lu Chenzhou stopped smiling, that violent, wild pressure swept over again.
A strong unease eroded Shen Chi. In the next second, he saw the other man reach out.
That large hand, with clearly defined knuckles and full of strength, first rubbed Shen Chi’s soft hair. The movement was gentle. Then it pinched his soft earlobe, intimate and familiar. But in the end, that slightly cool hand stopped at the back of his neck.
A chilling sense of danger instantly rose. Shen Chi froze, not daring to move at all. Then he saw Lu Chenzhou suddenly curve his lips.
He was clearly smiling, but his entire body was filled with a gloomy aura.
“Baby, I’m very unhappy.”
Shen Chi felt that he had been affected by him again. The damned patch of skin at the back of his neck began to faintly heat up again, and his breathing quickened slightly.
He had no idea what this guy was going crazy about now. He had already gone along with him. What more did he want?
A wronged look emerged in Shen Chi’s eyes. Those beautiful, slightly upturned eyes stared unblinkingly at the other man. The mad dog that had originally been on the verge of rage became even more excited.
Secretary Shen’s eyes were far too beautiful. When he was bullied too harshly, they would even grow misty.
With tears about to fall but not falling, he looked so broken that it could drive someone mad.
Thinking this, Lu Chenzhou became thoroughly delighted. He said, “Baby, you called me wrong. You should call me husband.”
Hearing that low, hoarse voice, Shen Chi’s eyes widened.
He could still treat being called “baby” as something a childish brat would say, but what the hell was “husband”?
Madness!
Everyone had gone mad!
His hesitation and pause made Lu Chenzhou’s gaze turn dark and vicious, but beneath that darkness was a trace of excitement.
He no longer wanted to play the obedient baby act.
If his wife was willing to call him husband, then he would be gentler later. If his wife was unwilling to call him husband… then that suited him perfectly.
The scarlet tip of his tongue licked the corner of his lips. Lu Chenzhou drew another step closer and asked, “Baby, you don’t want to?”
Shen Chi’s cheeks exploded red, and his toes curled.
This damned form of address was far too embarrassing.
He was a grown man, and he had to call another man… husband?
Good heavens, had being a secretary become a high-risk occupation these days?
Shen Chi anxiously and awkwardly grabbed at his own clothes. Then he realized—why was he grabbing his own clothes? The one forcing him was the guy opposite him. He should do something! At the very least, he should push him away!
The pressure from the other man made it hard for him to breathe. Shen Chi had no idea where his courage came from, but under that pitch-black, ferocious gaze, he pushed him away.
“I said I need to use the restroom!”
After saying this, he fled in utter panic.
As he ran, Lu Chenzhou’s terrifying eyes stared fixedly at his back. There was not the slightest trace of displeasure on his face because of Shen Chi’s escape. Instead, he sighed pleasantly. “Baby, this is the choice you made yourself.”
Using the restroom was only an excuse. He wanted to get the bite-stopper.
Inside the secretary’s office, everyone saw Shen Chi rush in like a gust of wind, and all of them showed horrified expressions.
But before they could speak, Shen Chi rushed toward the restroom at top speed.
The bite-stopper was one thing. There was also another matter: he had to call Ji Yanzhi and ask what was going on.
After Shen Chi ran into the restroom, he shut the stall door. After making sure no one could open it, he strangely muttered something.
“Strange. Why didn’t Lu Chenzhou chase after me this time?”
He had run the entire way, and the system had been even more nervous than him. That sudden sentence made it lean back.
[Human, you’ve changed. You actually want him to chase after you?!]
