38: You are just a secretary, not a lover, please don't act coquettishly in the office!

However... Lu Chen remained unmoved, not even bothering to lift his eyelids.

Lu Chen sat there calmly, at ease, as if he hadn't noticed her actions at all, and completely ignored her charm!

This made Liu Ruyan somewhat furious with embarrassment.

Was she dressed terribly today?!

She had specifically worn this dress today and put on light makeup. Could it be that such an outfit still couldn't catch his eye!?

She pursed her thin lips, her gaze fixed on him.

Finally, after a long standoff between the two, Lu Chen slowly put down his teacup, his gaze calm and unruffled as he looked at her, then slowly stood up.

Is he finally losing his patience...? Liu Ruyan's heart tightened, and there was a hint of excitement.

She secretly placed her hand on the opening of her bag, ready to pull out pepper spray at any moment if Lu Chen dared to make a move.

But—

She was mistaken. Lu Chen didn't reach for her, nor did he approach her. Instead, he walked past her, went to the wine cabinet, and poured a glass of red wine.

Liu Ruyan: "..."

Was she less attractive than wine??

Lu Chen held the stemmed glass, swirling the crimson liquid within, and casually asked:

"Is it hot?"

Lu Chen pointed behind him and said indifferently, "Since that's the case, I happen to have a cold storage room for red wine here. If you feel hot, you can go wait there for a while."

Liu Ruyan: "..."

What's going on?

Does this guy really have no interest in her at all?!

Impossible, absolutely impossible!

"Mr. Lu certainly knows how to joke." Liu Ruyan forced a smile that didn't reach her eyes, saying, "I'm just a little stuffy, it's nothing."

After speaking, she resumed her haughty demeanor and sat upright in the chair.

She understood.

Lu Chen was deliberately pretending to be a gentleman, playing hard to get to attract her attention.

Good, good, men really do like these tricks.

Liu Ruyan mused inwardly, a hint of mockery appearing in her eyes.

She wanted to see how long Lu Chen, this wolf in sheep's clothing, could hold out!

Liu Ruyan stood up, her long, beautiful legs moving gracefully as she walked to the sofa area next to Lu Chen and elegantly sat down.

Her body proportions were perfect; her slender waist could be encircled with one hand, her buttocks were round and perky with graceful curves, truly a golden ratio.

Especially the moment she sat down, her ample chest became even more prominent, beautifully rounded, as if announcing to everyone that her owner was well-endowed.

Liu Ruyan leaned back on the sofa, her long, fair legs crossed. She stretched, fully displaying the perfect curves of her body, and said lazily and casually:

"Mr. Lu, where's the contract? When are we signing it?"

The position she chose was carefully observed by her.

From Lu Chen's angle, he could perfectly see her flawless body curves and those alluring, soft contours that invited sin.

Liu Ruyan sneered inwardly. She refused to believe it; after all this, Lu Chen, this pervert, could still resist!?

As long as Lu Chen dared to touch her, she could absolutely ruin his reputation!

Lu Chen held his red wine, slowly took a sip, and then unhurriedly said, "No rush, let me finish this glass first."

Liu Ruyan subtly lifted her chin, a challenging look in her eyes, "Mr. Lu, you're just telling me to drink, but where's my wine?"

Lu Chen frowned and said in surprise, "I didn't tell you to drink. I said I'll finish this glass first."

Liu Ruyan: "..."

Lu Chen must be deliberately trying to annoy her today, right?!

Liu Ruyan clenched her teeth, wishing she could splash that glass of wine onto Lu Chen's disgusting handsome face!

She forced herself to suppress her anger, squeezing out a smile that didn't reach her eyes, "Then I'll wait for Mr. Lu to finish."

Lu Chen unhurriedly finished the entire glass.

Only then did he glance indifferently at Liu Ruyan, who was sitting on the sofa, and said coldly, "Liu Ruyan, do you know what your future position is?"

"I know, a secretary." Liu Ruyan answered carelessly.

Hearing this, Lu Chen smiled faintly, a hint of coldness lurking in his deep Phoenix eyes.

"Then, may I ask, do you know what a secretary needs to do when facing her boss?"

Upon hearing this, Liu Ruyan's heart skipped two violent beats.

However, precisely at this moment, she could not show any fear.

She lifted her chin and said proudly:

"Mr. Lu, are you saying I shouldn't be drinking? Then I apologize, I don't know what rules a secretary needs to follow, after all, I've never been one!"

Lu Chen nodded, "Very good. Since you don't understand, I'll teach you how to do it."

Liu Ruyan provocatively curved her lips. She wanted to hear what he would do!

"As a secretary, you should always remember that your duty is to serve your boss!"

Lu Chen's low, husky voice came, inexplicably shaking one's heart.

Liu Ruyan: "..."

She was a Young Miss, accustomed to a life of luxury and pampering since childhood. It was always others serving her; when had she ever served anyone!?

Moreover, it was a man!

Simply absurd!

Liu Ruyan forced herself to calm down, staring intently at him, "Then, Mr. Lu, what do I need to do?"

Lu Chen glanced at her, "Is your professional conduct merely sitting and talking to your boss?"

Liu Ruyan: "..."

She clenched her fists, her expression almost unable to hold!

However, in the end, she managed to restrain herself.

Liu Ruyan chuckled softly, her tone seductive and alluring:

"Alright, Mr. Lu, I understand."

With that, she stood up, swayed her waist, her posture utterly captivating.

Lu Chen paused, then continued, "Secondly, as a secretary, you must always be clear about your position and not fantasize about seducing your boss all day, understand?"

Upon hearing this, the smile on Liu Ruyan's face froze at the corners of her mouth.

She narrowed her eyes, looking sharply at Lu Chen: "What do you mean by that?"

Seducing the boss?!

Who wants to seduce him!

She, the dignified Young Miss of the Liu Group, had money and looks.

Who gave him the audacity to say she was seducing him?!

Lu Chen unhurriedly picked up the wine bottle, poured another half glass of red wine into the stemmed glass, his tone slow and calm:

"The literal meaning."

Liu Ruyan was so angered by Lu Chen that she laughed: "Mr. Lu, I'm afraid you've misunderstood something."

Lu Chen glanced at her indifferently, saying softly:

"Then you explain, what do you mean by being hot one moment and pulling at your clothes the next?"

Liu Ruyan: "..."

Seeing Liu Ruyan remain silent, Lu Chen clearly had no intention of letting her off, and continued,

"Miss Liu, I know I'm excellent, and you like me very much, but you are just my secretary, not my lover. Please don't flirt like this in my office anymore. If others see it, it will cause misunderstandings."

Lu Chen's tone was serious, looking like he was earnestly advising her, but it made Liu Ruyan's facial muscles tremble with anger, almost making her spit blood!

Lu Chen, this scoundrel, actually said she was flirting?!

When had she ever flirted?!

She was just testing him!

Lu Chen, this scumbag (scum man), actually turned around and bit her! And compared her to those women?!

Liu Ruyan was so angry that her hands were shaking.

She really wanted to slap his annoying handsome face!

But she held back!

She was a Young Miss, how could she stoop to the level of such a lowly and shameless person!

Liu Ruyan clenched her hands into fists, her nails digging into her palms, the pain bringing back some of her rationality!

She took a deep breath, forcibly suppressed the indignation and shame in her heart, and squeezed out a few words through gritted teeth:

"Yes, I understand. I will definitely not do it again in the future!"

Lu Chen continued to admonish: "It's good that you understand. Your own reputation doesn't matter, but don't tarnish my pure and innocent reputation."

"You!" Liu Ruyan almost choked to death!
