It Was Gu Lin's Good Fortune

It Was Gu Lin's Good Fortune

It was another Monday. Lin Su arrived at the company early. Why? What else could it be for? Of course, it was to avoid a certain domineering CEO.

The weekend had felt like an eternity. He had spent two whole days lying down, while his boss played the role of "caregiver." Just thinking about it made his nose sting. It was utterly humiliating.

He placed a cushion on his chair, his expression calm. No one else had arrived yet, so his straight back instantly relaxed. He stretched, trying to drive away all his exhaustion, and his slender hand rubbed at his neck—only for an uneven texture to brush beneath his fingertips.

His peach-blossom eyes widened abruptly. Oh no, he had forgotten to put one on. He looked around and only sighed in relief when he saw no one nearby.

He took out a scent-blocking patch from his backpack, but before he could unwrap it, a burst of laughter approached. Lin Su went pale with fright. His mind turned to chaos, and for some reason, he actually ran into Gu Lin's office.

A said, "Huh? Where's Assistant Lin?"

B said, "Yeah, I didn't see him when I came up. Maybe he went downstairs?"

"Maybe..."

Lin Su pressed himself against the door. Maybe what? Say it.

"Maybe he's waiting in President Gu's office for his Alpha husband!"

Lin Su's eyes widened. What the hell? Had everyone at the company discovered his relationship with Gu Lin?!

C said, "Can you stop making things up? How could an Alpha possibly be with a Beta? I think a powerful Alpha like President Gu would definitely be attracted to little Omegas with rose scents and the like."

"Betas who look half-dead like that should forget it, unless Assistant Lin differentiates!"

Lin Su: ...

How had they managed to get everything right? How was he supposed to work with them from now on? He touched the back of his neck. Would he get exposed at any moment? Maybe he should go to a salon and get extensions!

"Good morning, President Gu."

"Good morning, President Gu."

"Good morning, President Gu."

"Mm."

Lin Su was still pressed against the door, his thoughts already far beyond the clouds. He had not heard a word of what was happening outside.

The door opened just like that. Lin Su was already "physically weak," and with one careless move, his body tipped backward with its momentum. Thud. He fell to the floor.

A trace of surprise showed in Gu Lin's eyes as his gaze lowered, meeting the eyes of the person on the floor.

"President Gu, is something wrong?" A concerned voice came from behind him, drawing closer.

Lin Su's eyes widened. He tried to get up, but he used too much strength and pulled at somewhere sensitive again. His usual gentleness was replaced by sheer panic. His attempt to rise froze halfway, leaving him looking both pitiful and ridiculous.

Damn it, give me back my Beta body! Who wants to be this Omega?!

Wuwu, can someone close the door? I don't want to die of embarrassment. This is so humiliating.

Gu Lin's sharp thin lips curved into a smile, only to return to their usual calm an instant later. He resumed that indifferent expression and said lightly, "It's nothing. Continue working."

With that, he closed the door, leaving the female assistant utterly confused. Was it an illusion? It seemed like President Gu had smiled just now.

Lin Su let out a long breath, then remembered that he was currently sitting on the floor without a shred of dignity. His cheeks heated up.

Forget it, forget it. Better this than embarrassing myself in front of girls. Besides, a domineering CEO wouldn't care anyway.

"Good morning, President Gu."

Mm, I'm not embarrassed. Whoever feels embarrassed is the embarrassed one!

Gu Lin raised an eyebrow. The person on the floor seemed to have convinced himself; even the blush on his cheeks had faded. A teasing impulse rose within him.

He stepped forward and, amid Lin Su's astonishment, helped him up. His movements were gentle. If not for his indifferent expression, he would have looked like a warm and caring man.

Hiss, this gentleness is a little terrifying.

"There's no need to greet me, Assistant Lin. I left home at five-thirty and didn't expect you to be such a workhorse." A flicker of amusement actually passed through his clear, placid eyes so quickly that Lin Su wondered whether his eyes were playing tricks on him.

Lin Su stood there stunned for a long while. His red lips moved, but for a moment, he was speechless.

Did the domineering CEO just smile? Did he? Did he?!

"Why isn't Assistant Lin speaking?" The cool voice finally pulled Lin Su back to his senses.

He raised the scent-blocking patch in his hand, his peach-blossom eyes shifting away as he did not dare meet the man's gaze. "Sorry, President Gu. I didn't expect them to come back so early."

Gu Lin tilted his head slightly. At the back of Lin Su's neck were uneven marks. Gu Lin pinched the scent-blocking patch between his long fingers and, amid Lin Su's astonishment, slowly peeled it open before gently pressing it into place.

He had caused those marks yesterday. To be honest, he had nearly lost control of the desire inside him at the time, especially when he thought of how alluring and fiery Lin Su had been the day before.

The Lin Su from that night was completely different from the Lin Su now. With those countless seductions and movements, anyone would have gone mad.

Mm, cold on the outside but gentle underneath. As expected of the little white-flower heroine's chief husband.

He suddenly began to tremble a little. If the little white flower found out he treated employees so gently, would she take him offline first?

Wuwu, terrifying! Someone save me~

Gu Lin heard every word in his heart clearly. He more or less understood what was going on, and there was no need to explain how he had learned it.

Hearing the course of his future life from someone else's "mouth," Gu Lin's first reaction was disgust. First, with his self-control, he did not believe he would casually sleep with someone. Second, he did not think he would ever like a woman who was fickle in love.

Finally,

Gu Lin's gaze fell on the pale figure sitting on the sofa. His dark eyes deepened. If it were this person, he could barely accept it.

"You're an Omega, after all. Sooner or later, you'll give yourself away in front of Betas."

A sense of foreboding crawled up Lin Su's back. On the surface, he remained calm as he waited for Gu Lin's next words.

Gu Lin suppressed the smile at the corner of his mouth and stood up. There was not a single clue in his expression as he lowered his eyes to look down at Lin Su, his voice calm and firm. "This spot is just right. Move here this afternoon."

Lin Su returned to his workstation in a daze. The other three female assistants had already gone to their departments. Fortunately, he had not lost face in front of them, because something even more socially disastrous awaited him.

"Phew." Lin Su straightened his back. He still had work to finish, and as for what came later, he would deal with it when it came.

After a busy morning, Lin Su immersed himself in his work. Every document had to be detailed, and most importantly, flawless, because his boss was Gu Lin—a domineering CEO who could not tolerate even the slightest mistake.

Lin Su was extremely focused when he worked. Every document became more perfect under his annotations.

Through the glass window, Gu Lin quietly watched the person outside. His brows and eyes were gentle as he concentrated on the work in his hands. Whenever he spoke with others, he wore a warm smile. His intoxicating peach-blossom eyes curved slightly, his starry eyes gleaming. When he drank water, his slender fingers cradled the cup. Perhaps it was too hot, because he puffed out his red lips slightly and blew on it.

Today, he was Assistant Lin. The uninhibited person from the night before was Lin Su.

Perfectly blended together, such a person was truly rare.

Gu Lin laughed softly. So this was his good fortune.
