128: Chapter 128 Temptation

Song Yuan was stunned. It had been a while since Qiao Xi had asked him to deliver her birthday cake, and he hadn't expected to run into her here.

Song Yuan nodded politely.

"Long time no see."

After Song Yuan finished speaking, he pressed the number sixteen in the elevator. He saw the number before sixteen lit up, and there were only the two of them in the elevator. She was going to the fifteenth floor.

Qiao Xi had already forgotten about him sending her a red packet and returning her birthday cake. Now, she was more curious as to why he would appear here and what he was doing on the floor above her company.

She remembered that the company upstairs had moved out not long ago. Could it be…

Qiao Xi looked delighted.

"Song Yuan, did you rent the office upstairs?"

Song Yuan didn't want to say much to her. He didn't want to get involved with anyone related to Lin Xueyao.

Moreover, this woman had betrayed her good best friend and hooked up with her best friend's ex-boyfriend. In his opinion, Qiao Xi was someone with a deep scheming mind and a lack of morals.

For this type of person, he felt that maintaining a nodding acquaintance was enough.

Song Yuan just 'hmm-ed' and said nothing else.

The elevator stopped on the fifteenth floor, and Qiao Xi got off, turning back three times.

Song Yuan arrived on the sixteenth floor, and stepping out of the elevator led directly into his company.

Gao Tian from the Human Resources Department had put in a lot of effort recently, overseeing the renovation team to ensure the company was completely ready. The four large characters 'Fengxue Entertainment' were prominently displayed at the entrance.

Song Yuan stared at those words for a long time. They say a man establishes himself at thirty; he was twenty-eight this year. He hoped to make the company bigger and stronger by the time he turned thirty.

Song Yuan entered the company by typing the door lock password. What greeted his eyes was a bright, open office area. Gao Tian had thoughtfully placed green plants on each desk.

The desks were spacious, meticulously polished, just waiting for employees to move in.

A row of rooms along the side was designated as meeting rooms. Song Yuan's office was next to the meeting rooms and was the largest one.

He walked in with his laptop bag. The office layout was perfectly square, which, from a feng shui perspective, could absorb energy from all directions and was excellent.

A row of black leather sofas was placed in front of the floor-to-ceiling windows. His desk was at the other end, personally chosen by him and purchased by Gao Tian.

The office was a suite, with a small lounge behind it, furnished with a 1.6-meter bed for his midday naps.

The entire office style was modern and minimalist, fitting his aesthetic.

Song Yuan recorded a short video of the office and sent it to Gu Shiyu.

Gu Shiyu replied quickly:

"Not bad. I'll come visit after work. What do you need? I'll bring it over for you?"

Song Yuan sat in his boss's chair, crossed his legs, and replied to her message:

"Welcome, Boss Lady, for your guidance. No need to bring anything, just yourself."

Gu Shiyu sent him an OK emoji.

Song Yuan casually walked around the office area. After the main group arrived and everything was moved in, Song Yuan treated his brothers to lunch.

When they returned from lunch, a pizza was hanging on the company door.

Li Lei took down the takeout bag and saw a sticky note on it. He handed it to Song Yuan.

"Boss, this is for you."

Song Yuan peeled off the sticky note. A heart was drawn on it with a red pen, and the handwriting was delicate:

"TO Song Yuan: Came to deliver your lunch at noon, but no one was here. Your favorite seafood pizza. No need to thank me."

The single guys behind him gathered around.

"Boss, did Boss Lady come to bring you pizza at noon? Boss Lady truly loves you!"

"I'm so envious! When will I find a wife? Am I going to spend my whole life with a keyboard?"

"What? Boss Lady is tormenting us single dogs again? Nooooo!"

...

Everyone thought Gu Shiyu had come at noon to buy Song Yuan his favorite pizza, and they were all incredibly envious.

Song Yuan crumpled the sticky note. Not seeing a trash can, he casually stuffed it into his pocket. As for the pizza, he left it for Gao Tian to dispose of as she pleased.

Only after Song Yuan returned to his office did he take out his phone to text Qiao Xi.

"Thank you for the pizza. No need to bother next time; I'll order myself. This is for the meal."

Song Yuan checked the price of the pizza and sent a red packet for one hundred forty-nine yuan, not a single cent more or less.

Qiao Xi replied quickly, as if she had been staring at her phone, waiting for his message.

Qiao Xi: "???"

Qiao Xi: "Song Yuan, you're too much. Do you think I'm a delivery person?"

Song Yuan ignored her, but a few minutes later, he saw that Qiao Xi had accepted the red packet.

Gu Shiyu arrived near the end of the workday.

She held a bouquet of brightly blooming sunflowers, followed by her driver and assistant, making a high-profile appearance at Fengxue Entertainment.

Gu Shiyu never came empty-handed. She always brought snacks for everyone, and Song Yuan's group of brothers were used to her feeding them. When they saw Gu Shiyu enter, their stomachs all began to rumble, and they couldn't even write code anymore.

They all looked up at the Boss Lady, like hungry fledglings waiting to be fed.

Ms. Xu and the driver placed the food they brought on an empty table, and the programmers who had been burying their heads in code rushed over in a swarm.

"Brothers, time to eat, time to eat! The Boss Lady is here to feed us!"

Li Lei grabbed a few large meat skewers.

"Boss Lady just came to bring the Boss pizza at noon, and now she's bringing food again in the evening. We single dogs are really full of dog food. But please come more often! When you come, the Boss is in a good mood, and he'll be more lenient when we write bugs."

Gu Shiyu paused. She hadn't come to deliver pizza at noon.

It seemed someone was showing affection to her husband.

Gu Shiyu walked towards Song Yuan's office in her high heels.

His office door was open. Gu Shiyu knocked twice casually and walked in, her high heels making crisp sounds on the floor.

Song Yuan heard the sound, saved his code, and closed his laptop, looking at her.

Song Yuan saw her holding a bouquet in one hand and her other hand empty, and he teased her, asking,

"How come they have food, and I don't?"

Gu Shiyu shrugged, her expression pampered.

"I thought you ate too much pizza at noon, so you shouldn't be hungry now."

Song Yuan looked at her, chuckled softly, got up from his leather chair, walked to the door, closed it, and pulled down the blinds.

He walked behind her and put his arm around her slender, palm-width waist.

"I didn't eat the pizza; a colleague put it in the fridge. Boss Lady's news is quite well-informed. Could it be that you've planted spies here?"

Gu Shiyu chuckled.

"Do I need to plant any? Go outside and look, everyone is my spy!"

She poked Song Yuan's chest with her index finger, her action suggestive.

"Everyone here is my spy. I'm curious to see who dares to poach my territory?"

Song Yuan pecked her lips and coaxed,

"They can't poach it. Your territory is solid. Even if the Great Wall fell, yours would be fine."

Gu Shiyu pursed her red lips and asked,

"How solid?"

Song Yuan chuckled softly and replied,

"As solid as you want it to be."

He picked her up, and the moment his hand touched her calf, he felt the familiar smoothness in his palm, and he froze for a moment.

"Stocking temptation?"
