The Clever One

His steps toward Tang Ruan came to an abrupt halt.

Seven days and seven nights?

Just hearing that made his balls ache...

Seeing that Lu Mingyu did not continue forward, Song Shi'an was a little puzzled.

Why aren't you going? This is the perfect chance to play the hero and save the beauty!

Lu Mingyu suddenly felt it would be better to send someone else to stop them.

That way, he would not get tangled up with Tang Ruan again.

Seeing that Lu Mingyu seemed to be backing down,

Song Shi'an began to panic.

If the male and female leads did not get together, would not his dream of getting promoted and making a fortune fall apart halfway through?

Behind Lu Mingyu's back, he extended his evil foot.

As Lu Mingyu stepped backward, Song Shi'an stuck out his foot and tripped him.

Caught off guard, Lu Mingyu fell backward.

Song Shi'an hurried forward, shoved him toward Tang Ruan, and cried out with concern.

"President Lu! Are you all right? How did you suddenly fall?"

Lu Mingyu had not been hurt in the first place, but Song Shi'an's shove nearly sent him sprawling face-first onto the ground.

After finally steadying himself, Lu Mingyu found that all those people teasing Tang Ruan had turned to look at him.

Since they had seen him, Lu Mingyu could hardly ignore it.

He could only pretend to remain calm, sweep his gaze over them, and ask, "What are you doing?"

Hearing his voice, Tang Ruan immediately looked over with tear-filled eyes, as though one glance had lasted a lifetime.

The Lu family wielded great power in Sea City, and Lu Mingyu was their legitimate head. These rich second-generation heirs did not dare act recklessly.

They smiled and tried to brush it off. "President Lu, we were just fooling around."

Tang Ruan took two steps forward and tearfully complained, "President Lu, they... they were going to bully me..."

The rich heirs immediately warned her in low voices, "Don't talk nonsense in front of President Lu!"

Hearing that, Tang Ruan cried even harder. She raised her eyes to look at them and said earnestly, "Even though I work here, I have my dignity too! I am not some easy..."

The moment Lu Mingyu heard Tang Ruan launching into a long speech, his head began to ache. He interrupted, "Today is Tingting's birthday banquet. I do not want any trouble."

The warning in his words was obvious. Naturally, those rich heirs had to give Lu Mingyu face, and they quickly agreed.

They stopped making things difficult for Tang Ruan and turned to leave.

As soon as they left, Tang Ruan stepped forward and said gratefully, "President Lu, thank you for helping me out. If it hadn't been for you today, they definitely would have bullied me."

"It was nothing. Just a small matter," Lu Mingyu said, preparing to leave.

Song Shi'an eagerly followed and forcibly blocked Lu Mingyu's path.

He began apologizing sincerely. "President Lu, I'm sorry. It was all my fault just now. I almost made you fall."

Good thing I was quick and gave him a shove. Otherwise, the male and female leads would have had no chance!

Lu Mingyu smiled. "Since you know you were wrong, half a month's salary will be deducted."

Song Shi'an's eyes instantly widened.

Lu Mingyu said, "What? You have an objection?"

Song Shi'an said, "No. It was indeed my fault just now. President Lu, you reward and punish fairly."

Zhou the Skinner, Zhou the Skinner, there is no justice in this world! It was only one little trip, yet he docked half a month's pay! May he go impotent the moment he gets into bed and takes off his pants.

Lu Mingyu said, "?"

"Assistant Song, judging from your expression, you seem very unhappy?"

Song Shi'an forced out a smile. "No."

"Is that so?" Lu Mingyu's "wise" eyes were full of distrust.

Song Shi'an was speechless.

What? Does he insist on hearing me say I'm thrilled? What a pervert!

Yet he still wore the respectful expression of a slave. "Yes."

Seeing that neither of them intended to pay her any attention, Tang Ruan stepped forward and grabbed Lu Mingyu's sleeve, her gaze filled with affection. "President Lu, thank you for helping me out today."

Lu Mingyu had developed a stress response to Tang Ruan by now. The instant she touched him, he retreated three steps and pulled his sleeve from her grasp.

With a ripping sound.

Tang Ruan held half a piece of black fabric in her hand. Lu Mingyu looked down at his clothes and found that the side of his suit jacket had torn completely open, exposing the white shirt beneath.

Ah! His limited-edition French custom suit, which he had worn only once!

Seeing this, Tang Ruan's tears surged even harder. She stepped forward and apologized, "President Lu, I'm sorry, I didn't mean to..."

She reached out again.

Another ripping sound rang out.

This time, even the white shirt tore apart.

It exposed Lu Mingyu's perfectly sculpted body.

As the night breeze shifted, his abs could vaguely be seen.

The domineering CEO industry was so competitive these days. They were so busy, yet they still had to have abs.

Ahhh! His custom silk shirt! He had only worn it once too.

Standing to one side and watching the dramatic scene unfold, Song Shi'an could not help sighing inwardly.

As expected of an old-school domineering CEO novel. The quality of these clothes is way too terrible. Tang Ruan barely tugged on them, and they tore apart. Even heaven is trying to bring them together!

Tang Ruan looked at the two garments she had torn apart. Her tears stopped as she stared blankly at him.

At that moment, Lu Mingyu looked exactly like a respectable man who had been molested.

He covered his somewhat drafty lower back with one hand, his face dark as thunder.

The leads' scene was over. Now it was time for the NPC to make an appearance.

Lu Mingyu had barely opened his mouth. "You..."

Song Shi'an cut in and rebuked Tang Ruan, "Why are you so careless? Do you know that everything President Lu wears is custom-made? Can you afford to compensate him?"

After saying that, Song Shi'an was extremely satisfied with his performance.

How could a lofty domineering CEO possibly say such words himself? Naturally, he needed a lackey like Song Shi'an to convey them.

He could not let the male and female leads develop a rift.

Lu Mingyu said, "I..."

Song Shi'an said, "President Lu's clothes are torn. Why aren't you accompanying him to change clothes and apologize?"

His viciousness was perfectly measured, so cutting that even a passing dog would get slapped twice.

Lu Mingyu said, "You..."

Song Shi'an said, "What are you still standing there for? Hurry up and help President Lu upstairs to change!"

After saying that, Song Shi'an let out a lecherous laugh in his heart. Hehe~ I remember the domineering CEO has already been drugged by now. A lone man and woman, together in one room... wouldn't that spark a blazing passion?

I'm actually looking forward to it. Old-school domineering CEO novels always have the double-virgin setup, which means Lu Mingyu is still a virgin right now. Tsk, tsk, tsk~ I hope his performance doesn't disappoint the female lead later, or that would be so embarrassing!!

While Song Shi'an was hard at work indulging in his fantasies, Lu Mingyu's face had already turned as black as the bottom of a pot.

Every time he tried to speak, Song Shi'an cut him off!

"Assistant Song!"

Song Shi'an immediately got the hint and said respectfully, "President Lu, please go upstairs first. I will handle everything afterward."

Isn't he supposed to have triplets in one pregnancy? If he really sends him to buy condoms, what if she doesn't get pregnant? Should I secretly poke a few holes in them?

Lu Mingyu felt his fists harden.

Tang Ruan was quick to catch on as well. She immediately said, "President Lu, I'll take you upstairs to change clothes."

Lu Mingyu said, "No need. Assistant Song, you come upstairs with me!"

Afraid Song Shi'an would cut him off again, Lu Mingyu grabbed his arm the instant he finished speaking. With the strength of a bull, he dragged Song Shi'an straight upstairs, giving him no chance to resist.
