The Female CEO Falls in Love with Me

(Extra update on the 8th, still the 8th, I feel ashamed. Still 10 chapters left, and 10 days left in the month, the old debtor will surely pay up. Thank you to the brothers who voted for the monthly pass.)

At this moment, Li Yan smiled. The close distance allowed him to see the true intent hidden under her black-rimmed glasses. Her confusion and struggle made him realize that Hai Fu was not really angry or blaming him, so he was relieved. If there were time, he wouldn't mind having a friendly match with her, comforting each other a bit. But that wasn't the purpose today. The fact that he deliberately risked coming up here also revealed to him that he saw Hai Fu as more than just a one-night stand or sexual partner; he cared about her feelings and worried about her mood...

He showed a mischievous smile and asked slowly with an ambiguous tone, "Don't want what? What if? Going out at night for what? Hmm? President Hai... Hai Fu... Master... Sister Fu..."

Watching his smile and hearing his knowingly asking questions, Hai Fu felt her heart shaken and adjusted, making her eager to reply, which would make her feel less passive, yet it was a bit hard to say. And his change of address, each one, hit her defenses!

President Hai, this address brought her back to rationality, making her realize this is the office, and they shouldn't be playing this game here. It was playing with fire. If people found out, both of their reputations could stink.

Hai Fu, this address brought her back to her true self. Why do I have to be just President Hai? I can also be myself! I am Hai Fu. Even if I am a director, it's my private time now after work, as long as it's a voluntary choice between both parties, he's not forcing me, so why be afraid of this and that?

Master... This is a nickname given behind her back, which she really disliked, and anyone mentioning it in front of her would undoubtedly make her furious. Yet when Li Yan said it, it gave her a different kind of stimulus, arousing her desire to control this man like a queen rather than being continuously passive.

Sister Fu, this was the first time today Li Yan used this address. Due to her age and experience, others usually called her that, like Yurong Zhang, who would address her as President Hai in the business setting but would call her Sister Fu privately, as she had always been loyal to Zhang Tianyi, who had cultivated her, and knew her even before Yurong Zhang entered Paradise Group. But the same address coming from Li Yan, a man with a special relationship with her, carried a different connotation. She couldn't quite articulate it at the moment, only feeling a bit of goosebumps as she inexplicably recalled distant memories of her youthful, innocent times...

Seeing her bewildered gaze, Li Yan didn't expect his few words to have such a profound effect on her, and he didn't continue to tease her, lest the fire rise and he'd have to put it out himself. Thus, as he moved behind her shoulder, he laughed loudly, "What are you thinking about? I wouldn't force you to do anything in the office. I just thought you must be tired after working all day, so I came to give your shoulders a massage..."

Feeling Li Yan's large hands kneading her shoulders, Hai Fu just felt a bit sore and numb, then a tingling sensation spread instantaneously, softening all her nerves, making her unable to hold back a soft moan.

Hearing that melodious soft sound akin to a flute, Li Yan couldn't help but sweat a little, thinking she shouldn't feel this comfortable. Maybe it was related to her psychological response, so he didn't hold back and earnestly kneaded her shoulders thoroughly.

Real forceful kneading, while providing comfort, also bore a hint of soreness, and the initial electric numbness typically only happened the first time; once the nerves adapted, it wouldn't be so sensitive. As he kneaded, Hai Fu calmed down, realizing he was truly just giving her a shoulder massage, not trying to seize the opportunity to touch other places.

As she breathed a sigh of relief, there was also a slight tinge of disappointment. Last time, though unexpectedly attacked, the feeling was good...

"Anyway... if your work is making progress, just continue working hard. You're not getting any younger, and there isn't much time to waste. It's definitely better to have growth in the business department than in security. I won't bother you too much unless you call and explain, then I'll come out," Hai Fu murmured her thoughts while enjoying his massage.

Just like at the beginning, she originally thought she could separate emotions from desire, just treating him as a temporary companion. But she found herself caring more and more, unable to help but worry about his work, his future, his safety, everything about him.

"Alright." Li Yan readily agreed.

In fact, this wasn't the first time he'd heard similar talks; his wife Yurong Zhang had said it countless times, and Wen Qianyi even more so, urging him towards progress.

But his relationship with Yurong Zhang was initially too shallow, and while she spoke with her usual personality, in Li Yan's ears, it somewhat felt like a rich girl instructing a son-in-law, which naturally displeased him, making him lazier instead. However, recently, their relationship had changed, and Yurong Zhang, reminded by Yue Yao, also began to encourage him in other ways.

Wen Qianyi was very enthusiastic and personally guided him, making it more acceptable. But due to her strong presence, when going out with her, she would become the absolute focus, relegating him to a mere companion. Although he wouldn't mind and could endure all the attention, it was still somewhat awkward in public.

Hai Fu was different. The last time she wanted to help Li Yan was in a way that went unnoticed, following Ye Jiahong's path. And now, speaking these words without the imposing demeanor of a director, it just sounded like the concern of an elder sister, allowing Li Yan to agree readily. Of course, there were still various problems in actual implementation. But nonetheless, he had already changed his attitude toward life, for the sake of 'their' organization, and more importantly, for the many people who cared about him.

...

The two of them didn't speak. Hai Fu closed her eyes, enjoying Li Yan's shoulder massage, while Li Yan silently worked. This was the first time between them feeling a connection of the soul, unrelated to matters, emotional expressions, or sex... Just this close distance, without a word, there was a kind of connection and communication.

The tranquility was shattered by the sound of high heels!

This came from outside. If it were during work hours, with closed doors, the footsteps outside wouldn't be audible. But now the entire floor outside was quiet, with no other sounds, amplifying the footsteps in the silent environment.

Both of them were suddenly startled. It certainly wasn't a ghost but rather someone coming, seemingly heading to the office!

Li Yan even somewhat doubted whether it was Yurong's footsteps, but through the door, it wasn't clear, and it wasn't just one person.

"What should we do?" Hai Fu was a bit flustered and turned to look at Li Yan.

Li Yan's gaze had quickly scanned the office. The office of the Administration Director wasn't particularly luxurious. The space inside was quite large, with several cabinets, but they were all for storing file materials, definitely not for someone to hide in.

"What to do? It should be Miss Zhang and Assistant Ke!" Hai Fu's voice grew more hurried and a bit quieter. The sound of high heels outside grew louder and was already at the door.

"Knock, knock"!

After the knock, a voice came from outside: "President Hai! Haven't you finished work yet? Miss Zhang needs to speak with you!"

There was no need to guess now; it was clearly the voice of Yurong's special assistant, Ke Yunyun.

Hai Fu slumped into the chair, with only one thought in her mind: It's over!

She had always been worried about being discovered. Now not only was she caught, but it was by President Zhang! How would she look at me in the future?

Having known each other for many years, Yurong had always respected her quite a bit, which made her very reluctant to let Yurong see this side of her. She usually despised other outstanding executives for flattering Yurong; now that she's been discovered having a private meeting in the office after hours with a subordinate, how could she face others or maintain her authority anymore?

In her moment of desperation, she heard a calm voice beside her: "Don't be afraid, they won't find out. Just go and open the door; I can hide right away!"

Seeing her appearance, Li Yan knew what she was worried about. He thought wryly to himself: Hai Fu, if you knew that Yurong is actually my legitimate wife, you might just faint from shock!

Hai Fu was panicking at this point and took Li Yan's words as dependence. She had to barely calm down, replied with a sound, then tidied her dress and went to open the door.

As she reached the door, she couldn't help but feel thankful that Li Yan had locked the door when he came in. She couldn't help but glance back, wondering where Li Yan was hiding. But when she looked, Li Yan was nowhere to be seen!

Of course, Li Yan wasn't invisible; he had hidden himself in the only place in the office where a person could hide: under Hai Fu's spacious desk!

This idea he learned from Mayor Yu Hong. Once, at Yu Xiaodi's home, Yu Xiaodi brought him to see Yu Hong, unexpectedly catching Mayor Yu and his wife Chen Mingying during their rare intimate moment, which took place right on the office desk. The Yu family's villa had plenty of places to hide. They were just caught up in the moment on the desk, so they hurriedly hid underneath.

Li Yan had no other place to hide now and came up with this temporary idea. As soon as Hai Fu stood up, he slipped underneath. The space was quite roomy; as long as someone didn't bend down to look, they wouldn't discover him for a while.

"Miss Zhang! Assistant Ke, you haven't left either?" Hai Fu opened the door and barely made small talk.

Outside, Zhang Yurong smiled lightly: "Director Hai, you're always so hardworking. I guessed you hadn't finished work yet. I didn't even call, just came over after hours."

"Is there something you need?" Hai Fu quickly asked, secretly lamenting inwardly that Miss Zhang's time was so precious; she wouldn't come over without a reason, would she?

With her usual straightforward and sincere personality, she didn't hear anything amiss from familiar people like Zhang Yurong and Ke Yunyun.

"There is a little something, let's talk inside!"

Zhang Yurong was not visiting Hai Fu's office for the first time, and after entering, she didn't hesitate with Hai Fu, walking right over to the desk and taking her seat!

This made Hai Fu very anxious. On normal days, she would of course let her sit, but not today! There was still a man underneath!
