Chapter 43: You're Here to Discuss a Partnership, Aren't You?

Shen Miaoyu finally understood.

Why did Chu Fei rush to end the meeting, even sending Secretary Jin away in a hurry?

It was all just to take advantage of her!

"Chu Fei, let go of me!"

But these words did not come from Shen Miaoyu's lips.

They were spoken by Chu Fei himself.

Shen Miaoyu looked at him in confusion as Chu Fei suddenly called out the line with dramatic flair.

Chu Fei chuckled, "I don't even have to think—your next line is obvious to me."

"Shen Miaoyu, I just can't figure it out. That night, you wanted me three times. We had a great time together."

"So why have you been acting like some virtuous saint these past two days?"

Seeing Chu Fei's smug expression, Shen Miaoyu felt a surge of stubbornness. Was it possible for him to guess her every thought?

Immediately, she reversed the roles, grabbing Chu Fei's collar and pulling him down, taking charge in a bold, domineering manner!

Chu Fei was completely caught off guard by Shen Miaoyu’s sudden move.

He even forgot to stick out his tongue!

Watching Chu Fei’s expression shift from triumph to surprise, Shen Miaoyu smiled like a cat that had stolen cream—obedient yet alluring, beauty so breathtaking it sent tremors through his heart.

She didn’t know what had come over her to be so daring; perhaps it was simply that she couldn’t stand Chu Fei’s attempts to control her.

Chu Fei lowered his gaze, quietly studying the soft yet spirited lines of her brows and eyes.

His gaze dropped further, landing on her chest, which was heaving with excitement or agitation—he couldn’t tell which. It rose and fell like her heartbeat, pounding directly against his own.

"Why just one kiss?"

Chu Fei’s voice was husky.

Shen Miaoyu hadn’t yet answered when she felt his warm breath wash over her.

Chu Fei’s deep, seductive voice filled her ear.

Hearing such direct words, Shen Miaoyu blushed with shame.

Yet she didn’t push away Chu Fei’s hand; instead, she closed her eyes as though resigning herself.

Chu Fei wasted no time with politeness.

Shen Miaoyu hadn’t expected him to be so daring, especially here in the meeting room, bullying her like this.

If anyone saw them, how could she, the new CEO, ever face the world again?

Nowadays, many men pursue women just to sleep with them.

Chu Fei was different—sofa, balcony, kitchen, bathroom, living room, hallway, staircase, it made no difference to him.

If his partner wanted more excitement, then the street, park, cinema, bus, subway station, changing room, anywhere was fair game!

So the environment held no sway over him; a true conqueror overcomes all obstacles.

But Shen Miaoyu couldn’t be so indifferent to others’ opinions.

She could only grasp Chu Fei’s mischievous hand and say, "That’s enough!"

"Still not satisfied…" Chu Fei kissed her again.

Shen Miaoyu didn’t resist; kissing was still within the bounds of what she could accept.

But she soon realized Chu Fei was growing bolder, his intentions increasingly obvious!

She could only defend herself fiercely, "Don’t go too far, Chu Fei!"

Ignoring her protest, Chu Fei was about to press his advantage when she seized his hand.

"What’s wrong—regretting it now?" Chu Fei thought he could handle this little minx.

But Shen Miaoyu, for once, shook her head. "There’s nothing to regret… Just not here… Let’s go home."

Hearing this, Chu Fei immediately released her.

As Shen Miaoyu tidied her clothes, she shot Chu Fei a look.

"I almost thought you’d fallen for Zhu Qing."

"I believe in not wasting good girls, nor squandering bad ones," Chu Fei shrugged, "but I don’t eat just any garbage."

"Then why did you look at her like that? Your gaze was so—scrutinizing!" Shen Miaoyu was a little jealous.

"Didn’t you know?" Chu Fei replied openly, "To truly observe someone unattractive is a cruel thing."

Shen Miaoyu couldn’t help but laugh.

He could insult someone without using a single curse word—truly remarkable.

But her laughter quickly faded as Chu Fei suddenly pulled her closer.

"Let’s go home!"

"I just started work!"

"Work can never be as good as being with me!"

Without waiting for her agreement, Chu Fei dragged her downstairs in a hurry.

Even though just two hours ago he’d been with Song Yalan—

Youthful bodies, after all, are full of energy!

Watching his impatient manner, Shen Miaoyu felt no resentment; instead, she was oddly pleased.

Was this what it felt like to be wanted?

But just as the two reached the lobby, they ran into Shen Linglong, who had come to discuss a partnership.

It’s true what they say: enemies always cross paths. What terrible luck!

Though Shen Linglong wasn’t as beautiful as Shen Miaoyu, she had the air of a femme fatale—a trait Shen Miaoyu lacked.

Many men are drawn to this dangerous allure, which is how Shen Linglong so easily won over Meng Xinghe.

"Well, if it isn’t my sister, thrown out of the house!" Shen Linglong couldn’t help but mock Shen Miaoyu as soon as she saw her.

Especially now, having climbed up thanks to Meng Xinghe, she naturally looked down on Shen Miaoyu.

Shen Miaoyu ignored her, busy being pulled along by Chu Fei.

With more pressing matters at hand, she had no time for this foolish woman!

As they were about to pass each other, Shen Linglong grabbed Shen Miaoyu’s arm.

"So eager—rushing off to reincarnate with your pretty boy?"

Chu Fei turned, intent on slapping Shen Linglong.

His movements smooth as water; it had become muscle memory for him.

But Shen Miaoyu, not wanting to cause a scene at the company entrance, stopped him.

She then addressed Shen Linglong, "You’re here to discuss cooperation, aren’t you?"

"Of course. Young Master Meng has already agreed to partner with our Shen family!" Shen Linglong boasted. "The Shen family is about to soar, and it’s none of your concern, since you’re no longer part of it!"

"So, do you regret leaving the Shen family for this pretty boy?"

Shen Miaoyu reminded her, "Although the Chu Group has received capital from the Meng family, the largest shareholder isn’t the Mengs. So your Young Master Meng can’t help you at all!"

Shen Linglong burst out laughing, "What nonsense! Young Master Meng is heir to the Meng family. If he can’t help me, what makes you think you can secure this partnership for the Shen family?"

Shen Miaoyu blurted out, "Of course—it’s me…!"
