Chapter 269: Gu Yan at the Door

Morning came, and Su Yuning arrived at the office early.

The Wang Group had called to say they would be coming in the morning to finalize the cooperation details, so she made sure everything was prepared for their arrival.

While waiting for the Wang Group representatives, she couldn’t help but reminisce about Wang Haoran’s actions…

“Seriously, how did he become like this?!”

“Kissing a married woman… what a jerk!”

Thinking about Gu Yan in his green shirt seeing her off this morning, guilt washed over her again.

She leaned on her desk, feeling more troubled than ever.

But somehow, she found herself justifying Wang Haoran’s actions in her heart.

“…Maybe he couldn’t resist because he thinks I’m prettier than Yunshuang… and I was the one who got drunk and acted up… I’m partly to blame too…”

“He promised to only see me as a friend from now on… should I forgive him this time?”

“After all, it was a moment of confusion!”

Lost in thoughts, Su Yuning was unsure what to do.

Just then, a knock on the door startled her.

“Come in.”

“President Su, the representative from the Wang Group is here!”

“So soon? I should go greet them!”

But she was stopped.

“…Uh… President Su, they’re already here…”

Her secretary awkwardly pointed at the door.

Since someone from the Wang Group was visiting, President Su had arranged for a grand reception, even stationing her secretary at the entrance to prevent any unexpected mishaps, like someone eccentric getting stopped by security.

Fortunately, everything had gone smoothly, and she had welcomed the guest.

However, before she could notify President Su, the guest from the Wang Group had stopped her, saying he wanted to surprise the President.

Being a diligent secretary, she should have informed President Su, but…

Remembering the handsome man who had left her head in a daze, making her swoon, she felt guilty for disobeying orders.

But she couldn’t help wondering if this charming man was President Su’s admirer… yet President Su was married…

Unaware of her secretary’s wild thoughts, Su Yuning commanded her, “Please bring them in!”

“Yes, President Su!”

…

Guided by the secretary, the guest from the Wang Group entered.

It was only one person—Wang Haoran.

“Thank you!”

After the secretary left and closed the door, Wang Haoran looked at the surprised Su Yuning.

“Hello, President Su!”

“Wang… Wang Haoran, why are you here?!”

“I work for the Wang Group, why shouldn’t I be here?”

“But… We are just a small company, and you personally…”

“I wanted to see you. Is that not okay?”

“…!”

Hearing Wang Haoran’s straightforward words, Su Yuning’s face instantly turned red, her heart racing, and she lowered her head, not knowing how to respond.

Wang Haoran walked over and placed the documents on her desk.

“Here’s the contract, take a look.”

“…Alright.”

Trying to hide her embarrassment, Su Yuning quickly picked up the contract to read it.

But suddenly, Wang Haoran sat beside her and hugged her waist.

“What are you doing?!”

Startled, she struggled to get up, but Wang Haoran held her down.

“Shh~ Keep your voice down, or your employees outside will hear us!”

“Let go of me!”

She was a bit angry—hadn’t he promised not to do this anymore?

“Mmm~”

Their lips met.

Several minutes later.

“Again?!”

“You promised me you wouldn’t do this anymore!”

“Yuning, I can’t help it. I’ve been thinking about kissing you all night!”

Wang Haoran pinned her down on the couch, looking into her eyes.

“Don’t you like it too? You know what it means to be ‘close friends’! And you agreed to it!”

“…No! I don’t!”

“I don’t believe you!”

“I really don’t! Get out!”

Su Yuning struggled even more.

“Wang Haoran, how can you do this?! I’ve always seen you as a friend!”

“Because I like you! If I didn’t do this, you’d never accept me!”

Wang Haoran smiled.

“You never thought about calling the police, which means you like me a little, right?”

“I know you’re not the type to be afraid of people’s opinions after being assaulted. You’re strong enough to fight back no matter the cost!”

“Since you know you have feelings for me too, I can’t hold back anymore. I have to have you!”

Hearing his words, Su Yuning slightly gave up resisting. But then she thought of Liu Yunshuang.

Both reminding Wang Haoran and herself, she said, “What about Yunshuang? She likes you so much. If she found out about us… it would hurt her!”

“Then don’t let her find out.”

“You…!”

She was speechless at his audacity.

“What a jerk! Was your love for her fake?!”

“Of course not!”

Wang Haoran hugged her tightly.

“And my feelings for you aren’t fake either. It’s not just about your body; I genuinely like you!”

“That’s a lie! You didn’t like me in college, and now after being apart for so long, you suddenly say you like me? How is that possible?!”

“Of course, it’s possible! In college, you had long hair. Now with short hair, I feel differently!”

“Hmph, I don’t believe you! Let go of me!”

What was supposed to be a business meeting had turned into this, leaving Su Yuning desperate to get away from Wang Haoran’s embrace.

Just then.

“Knock, knock.”

There was another knock at the door.

The two on the sofa froze.

Su Yuning tried to steady herself.

“Who is it?”

“Yuning, it’s me!”

The voice from outside was unmistakably Gu Yan’s.
