After Reborn, I Became the Bigshots' Beloved novel Chapter 241

Chapter 241: Chapter 241: Gu Siyu Comes Knocking

Chen An’s "This is so embarrassing" was only half-spoken when he abruptly stifled it back.

From the rearview mirror, Lu Sheng could see that Chen An, who was initially in high spirits, suddenly wore a look of grievance and injustice, pitifully adorable.

She couldn’t help but let out a giggle.

"Li Muchen, why are you such a miser?"

Lu Sheng kneaded Li Muchen’s robust and firm pectoral muscles, pretending not to notice the man’s deepening gaze, turned her head jokingly and said, "Chen An, do you want to come be my assistant? I’ll secretly pay you a higher salary."

"...Who says I’m a miser," Li Muchen’s gaze grew intense as he grasped the girl’s hand that was roaming and teasing unchecked.

Looking into the rearview mirror at Chen An, he spoke indifferently, "The car you liked but didn’t buy, I had someone reserve it a few days ago. It should be delivered to your home tomorrow."

Hearing this, Chen An took a deep breath on the spot.

He had been listless before, but now suddenly perked up like he was on steroids, beaming with joy he said, "Ah, boss, I’m so embarrassed."

"Is it that favorite dark gray color of mine? When will it be delivered tomorrow? Boss, can I take some time off in advance? My stomach might hurt tomorrow."

Seeing this, Lu Sheng’s laughter deepened.

Li Muchen looked at her and asked, "Besides, you’re still in high school. What do you need an assistant for?"

"What’s wrong with being in high school; there are plenty of things an assistant can do."

Lu Sheng counted off on her fingers, serious in her explanation, "Like picking me up and dropping me off at school, helping me with those boring assignments, and waiting outside the school fence when I decide to skip class."

The first task might be considered normal, but writing assignments and aiding in skipping class, those did not seem like things a well-behaved high school student would suggest.

"Chen An is already working for me, so you probably cannot count on him," Li Muchen’s broad palm encircled the girl’s slender waist, his voice low and deep, "However, I can do these things for you, I can be your assistant."

"I don’t want that," Lu Sheng firmly refused, determined not to be swayed by the attractive man before her, and businesslike she said, "With your hourly rate already in the six figures, I definitely can’t afford you."

"You can afford it," Li Muchen lowered his head, first gently nibbling at the girl’s earlobe, "My fee... just requires a kiss from the boss."

As he spoke, the man’s cool lips covered hers, and the breathing that had been tightly interlocked became completely fiery and possessive.

Even before Li Muchen kissed Lu Sheng, Chen An, with quick reactions, had already let down the partition, and then couldn’t help but heave a sigh of relief.

...That was close.

If he had been any slower, he might have lost the car.

——

As Chen An was driving Lu Sheng back to the Lu Family home, at the same time.

In a five-star hotel presidential suite costing eight thousand yuan a night, Gu Siyu hesitated outside the door and finally summoned the courage to knock.

No answer to the first knock.

No answer to the second knock either.

Just as Gu Siyu was about to knock for the third time, the door suddenly swung open unexpectedly.

Startled, she took a big step back: "Duke, Duke Crohn..."

The man was so tall that Gu Siyu had to raise her head to see Chen Shu’s face.

"Miss Gu, you’d better understand something..." Chen Shu’s face still bore a smile, but his voice was chillingly cold.

"I could save you from those debt collectors, and I can just as easily throw you back to them. If this keeps up, your debt of $7 million could very well double to $10 million later."

"I..." Hearing the man’s words, Gu Siyu recalled certain memories and couldn’t help but feel goosebumps, immediately rushing to explain, "No, Duke Crohn, I did do some things!"

"The day before yesterday, I had someone leave my perfume scent on Muchen’s shirt. If that Lu Sheng got close to Muchen yesterday, she must have smelled it."

"No girl would smell another woman’s perfume on her boyfriend and not be suspicious; she would certainly wonder which woman left that scent."

"Although Muchen’s assistant came along today, after all, she also witnessed my private meeting with Muchen, as long as I help her understand..."

Before Gu Siyu could finish speaking, Chen Shu coldly interrupted her.

"I don’t care about the process when I judge a person’s usefulness, I only look at the results."

"If you think you can achieve the goal, then do it. If not, then face the consequences."

Gu Siyu’s face whitened, and after a long moment, she clenched the corner of her clothes tightly, taking a deep breath before saying, "Yes..."

---

At the Lu Family’s home.

When Lu Sheng finished her bath, it was already half-past ten at night. Muchen said he still had work and needed to return to the company to deal with it.

As she was drying her hair with a towel, Lu Sheng’s phone suddenly rang. Picking it up, it was a text from an unknown number.

[Miss Lu, hello, I am Gu Siyu, the Deputy Director of the Marketing Department of Shengda Real Estate, the partner President Li met today at the café.]

[My brother is friends with Mr. Lu, and I got your home address from him. I am currently outside your family’s villa, I wonder if Miss Lu has any time to see me?]
