Section 314

Xu Hao felt self-blame and guilt toward her, which only made her feel even more guilty.

Seeing her agree, Xu Hao smiled.

"President Lin… I should still call you Chuqing. Calling you President Lin feels a bit awkward."

"Whatever President Xu prefers."

Lin Chuqing felt a weight lift off her shoulders and revealed her first smile since waking up.

"You shouldn't call me President Xu either. You're about the same age as my Eldest Daughter, and I'm around the same age as your father, so just call me Uncle Xu…"

Xu Hao began, intentionally or unintentionally, to draw the two of them closer.

Besides, calling him "Uncle" also added a certain thrill.

If Lin Chuqing had kept calling him "Uncle" last night…

…then they wouldn't have just gone on until dawn, but until the sun set again.

Lin Chuqing was stunned for a moment, but she still said,

"Uncle Xu."

She felt a bit strange in her heart.

She couldn't help but think of last night, being together with Xu Hao, who was of an uncle's generation.

This made her feel even more intensely embarrassed and shy.

"Yes…"

Xu Hao responded.

Then, he stared straight at Lin Chuqing.

Not hearing any further words from Xu Hao, Lin Chuqing raised her head in confusion.

She found Xu Hao staring intently at her.

Only then did Lin Chuqing realize her current state.

She hurriedly tried to pull the blanket over herself.

But she was caught by Xu Hao.

"Chuqing, you are so beautiful…"

[Ding… Lin Chuqing is filled with guilt, Emotion Points +789…]

[Ding… Lin Chuqing is overwhelmingly shy, Emotion Points +987…]

Out of her guilt toward Xu Hao,

Lin Chuqing only put up a token struggle.

After that, she let him do as he pleased.

Afterward, the two of them finished washing up and went to a restaurant for a meal.

Seeing that it was a bit inconvenient for her to move, Xu Hao offered to drive her back.

Lin Chuqing declined.

She said she was fine.

Besides, she had to go to the company now.

A whole day's worth of work had gone unprocessed and was piling up again.

No matter what her relationship with Xu Hao was now, she couldn't let it be exposed in front of her employees.

Xu Hao expressed his understanding.

"Uncle Xu, goodbye…"

Bidding farewell to Xu Hao, Lin Chuqing drove back to the company.

At this moment, by the entrance of the company…

…a haggard figure was sitting.

From last night until now, Lin Chuqing's phone had gone completely unanswered.

Zheng Feifan's heart felt freezing cold.

Just how badly had she been bullied, damn it?

Just as Zheng Feifan was burning with anxiety and planning to call the police to search for her,

Lin Chuqing appeared in her car.

Looking at the security guards around, Zheng Feifan opened the gate to let her through.

He followed her by himself.

Parking the car in her space, Lin Chuqing got out.

Taking too wide a step, she immediately frowned.

Originally, it had been from last night until dawn.

And then Xu Hao had been with her again in the afternoon.

This resulted in adding injury to injury.

"President Lin…"

A voice trembling noticeably reached her ears.

Lin Chuqing looked back.

She saw a dumbfounded Zheng Feifan.

Zheng Feifan's heart was shattered at this moment.

He recognized Lin Chuqing's state at a single glance.

Her eyes were watery, her cheeks slightly flushed, she frowned as she walked, and there was a mature, feminine charm radiating from between her brows…

She had absolutely been ravished last night.

Strange, why did he recognize it at a single glance?

It was because he had seen this exact same state on his beautiful landlord, Xiao Wanling.

A deep wave of guilt and regret washed over him.

He had failed to protect Lin Chuqing.

This was his goddess.

And she had been ruined just like that…

He felt his heart twitching painfully, hurting intensely.

Soon after, all his emotions were replaced by rage.

"President Lin, what happened last night? Was it that Chu Xiaotian?"

"Chu Xiaotian?"

At the mention of this person, Lin Chuqing felt an uncontrollable rage.

It was all because that guy had drugged her.

Taking a deep breath, she calmed her emotions.

Lin Chuqing said coldly to Zheng Feifan,

"What I do is none of your business. Let me reiterate once more: you have been fired. Get out of my company…"

Zheng Feifan had beaten up two elderly people yesterday.

If she hadn't appeared in time to handle it, it would have brought a very negative impact on the company.

This Zheng Feifan was simply a jinx.

Last time, they made an enemy of the Chu family because of him.

And this time, it was also because of him that the company's reputation was almost ruined.

She had to fire this guy.

Sensing her thoughts, Zheng Feifan quickly explained,

"President Lin, those two old geezers were running a scam yesterday. I was framed."

"That only proves you aren't very smart. You don't even know how to handle a minor emergency. How can I feel safe entrusting the security department to you?"

"Go to the finance department yourself, collect your salary, and leave. Don't force me to make a company-wide announcement…"

Lin Chuqing paid him no more attention.

She turned and walked into the company building.

Leaving Zheng Feifan standing there, completely lost and dejected.

Meanwhile, on the other side—
