"Holy crap, I'm a married man just like that? Wife, you have to take responsibility for me now!" Staring at the marriage certificate in his hand, Zhou Fan was in a bit of a daze. Yesterday he was a carefree bachelor, and today he had a wife. He casually draped an arm over Chu Yan's shoulder, wearing a pitiful expression as if he were afraid she would dump him.
"What company do you work for? I'll go with you to quit, then you can come straight to my company. You'll be my bodyguard and driver from now on!" Chu Yan rolled her eyes at Zhou Fan. After spending a night with him, she'd gotten a good sense of what kind of character he was, so she didn't make a fuss about his arm. After all, they were married. It was impossible to have zero physical contact.
"No need to quit. I'm in the sales department of your company!" Zhou Fan waved his hand, saying something that almost made Chu Yan fall over.
"So you're saying you knew who I was all along? And you still dared to make such an unreasonable demand? You even dared to spank me twice?" Thinking about last night, Chu Yan was so angry she nearly exploded. Forgetting all about her composure, she swung her handbag and started hitting Zhou Fan with it!
Chu Yan remembered. A few days ago, the head of the sales department, Chen Yi, had come to her, saying that an exceptionally talented person had applied for a job. The only catch was, it was a man. She had asked for approval because Fenghua International's sales department was staffed entirely by women; they'd never had a male employee before. At the time, Chu Yan had been stressing about company funds and hadn't given it much thought before nodding in agreement.
'To think it was this smirking guy right beside me!'
'And the most infuriating part was, this guy had now become my husband!'
"I'm warning you. You are not to harass the girls in the sales department, or you'll have me to answer to!" After they arrived at the company, Chu Yan remembered Zhou Fan's determination to solicit prostitutes. Worried he would prey on the women in the sales department, she felt she had to warn him.
"What are you talking about? Do I seem like that kind of person? They're the ones who harass me!"
"Enough nonsense. You're coming home with me after work tonight."
Helpless, Chu Yan could only offer a silent prayer for the women at her company. She composed herself and walked into the office building.
"Hey, ladies! Haven't seen you in a whole night. Miss me?" Arriving at the sales department, Zhou Fan leaned suavely against the doorframe, flashing what he considered his most charming smile as he greeted the ladies who were already there.
"Brother Fan, I missed you to death! Where's the breakfast you promised to buy me?" As the youngest and most vivacious girl in the sales department, Gu Feifei was the first to scamper over. When she saw he was empty-handed, her face fell.
"Huh?"
Zhou Fan was dumbstruck. He had promised to bring a few of the girls breakfast yesterday, but because he'd been busy getting married to Chu Yan, he had completely forgotten.
"Hmph. Men are all talk and no action!" Gu Feifei pouted, her big, expressive eyes blinking as she stared at Zhou Fan, looking as if she might burst into tears at any moment.
"Exactly! Brother Fan is so unreliable. Yesterday he was saying how his heart ached seeing us skip breakfast, and today he completely forgets!"
"Don't tell me Brother Fan found some other 'little sisters' outside? Forgetting all about us good sisters here after just one night!"
Instantly, the other few girls who were on good terms with Zhou Fan also chimed in to voice their complaints, while the rest of the women looked on with gloating smiles.
"Don't be ridiculous. What other 'good sisters'? I only have you all... one, two... five good sisters!" Zhou Fan counted with a straight face, provoking the girls into chasing and hitting him.
Jeez, talk about spreading the love around!
After some playful roughhousing, Gu Feifei and the others reluctantly let him off the hook once Zhou Fan swore he absolutely wouldn't forget tomorrow. Then, faces flushed, they straightened their clothes and scampered back to their desks.
Because during the horseplay, whether intentionally or not, Zhou Fan always managed to cop a feel from the girls here and there while dodging their blows.
"Zhou Fan, Feifei, come with me. I have a lunch meeting with President Zhang of Yunlong Group, and I want to try and get the contract signed."
As noon approached, a stunning figure appeared at the entrance of the sales department. Her impressive figure, clad in a tasteful business suit, seemed ready to burst the buttons. She wore a pair of black-rimmed glasses on her delicate, pretty face, lending her a mature charm. Her wine-red, wavy hair was draped casually over her shoulders. It was the head of the sales department, Chen Yi.
Zhou Fan and Gu Feifei exchanged a helpless glance. Who in their right mind discussed business during lunch?
Of course, if a free lunch was on the table, that was a different story.
"You two, quickly look over these documents. We're not the only ones after this Yunlong Group deal. A lot of other companies have people chasing it, so the pressure is immense," Chen Yi said as she drove, tossing the files to them.
"Zhou Fan, see anything?" Chen Yi had high hopes for the only male employee in her department, a man she had personally recruited. So she took the initiative to ask him. When she didn't get an immediate response, she turned to look, only to find the guy wasn't looking at the file at all. His eyes were glued to her chest.
"Enjoying the view?"
Chen Yi took a deep breath, her voice low and laced with murder.
"I wouldn't call it a 'view,' but they are quite large. Also, if I'm not mistaken, you seem to have a bruise over your heart on the left side. You should get that massaged immediately. If you leave it, it'll affect your circulation."
As if he hadn't noticed Chen Yi's murderous glare, Zhou Fan continued with a completely straight face.
"You..." Chen Yi was about to tell him to get lost but froze. She subconsciously glanced down. 'Even if the gap between my buttons is a little wide, and you can see a bit of my bra, you can't possibly see anything else, can you?'
'So how did he know I had a bruise over my heart?'
'No one else knew about it. I hadn't paid it much mind, figuring I'd just slept on it funny. But when I woke up this morning, it was actually a bit sore!'
"What do you think is wrong with it?" In the end, Chen Yi swallowed her curses. Taking advantage of a red light, she turned her head, a bewitching smile blooming on her pretty face. She even leaned forward slightly, as if to give Zhou Fan a better view.
"My preliminary diagnosis is that you were struck by a sharp object. But to know the specifics, I'd have to perform a hands-on examination."
Zhou Fan shook his head, then shot out a hand to hook around Chen Yi's neck, instantly pulling them closer. A roguish smile touched his lips. "Sister Chen, if you ever need anything, feel free to find me. My touch is the cure."
With that, Zhou Fan released Chen Yi and sat bolt upright, watching her with a playful glint in his eyes. 'You might exude the charm of a mature woman, and sure, every move you make is captivating, but I've seen it all. You think you can bewitch me?'
