69: Black-framed glasses are a must-have item for a personal secretary!

Liu Ruyan pursed her lips and smiled faintly, her long, dan-painted fingers gently pinching the temples of her glasses, an elegant motion as if caressing a rare treasure, as she slowly put them on.

The frames of the glasses were slender and exquisite, exuding a low-key, luxurious matte texture.

Tiny, Broken diamonds water diamonds were cleverly inlaid at the temples, sparkling with a starlight-like glimmer amidst the interplay of light and shadow.

It was like a hidden brilliance in the night sky, perfectly complementing her vibrant yet elegant demeanor.

The moment Liu Ruyan put on her glasses, her eyes behind the lenses seemed to come alive.

They were so deep and profound, like mist hidden in a secluded pool, with strands of alluring cunning intertwined within, making one unable to resist falling into their depths.

Her originally bright and somewhat flamboyant face now gained a ripe charm because of these glasses.

A subtle blend of just the right amount of intellect was skillfully incorporated into her charm, like a peach, ripe and dripping with sweetness, on a fragrant branch.

The rich sweetness was intertwined with a hint of intoxicating tartness; just one glance could make one’s heart soften.

Liu Ruyan smiled slightly, her fingertips gently twirling the temple of her glasses.

These glasses were also one of the “small props” she had meticulously prepared.

After returning, she carefully studied knowledge related to how secretaries seduce their bosses and even specifically consulted her father’s secretary.

It was like opening the door to a new world; she learned a lot of useful information.

Finally, she came up with a perfect plan.

These black-framed glasses were one of the essential props.

She went through a lot of trouble to get these glasses.

Because these glasses were not ordinary black-framed glasses.

These glasses concealed a miniature camera, capable of precisely capturing images from a first-person perspective.

The previous bow was simply too dangerous; it could fall off at any time without anyone noticing, making it completely undetectable.

So this time, she switched to glasses.

This item was not easy to drop, and if it did drop, she would definitely notice, thus avoiding the risk of being discovered.

Once Lu Chen had any intentions towards her, she could capture it immediately!

“With it, Lu Chen will not escape my Dharma Eye from now on, no matter what improper actions he takes.”

Liu Ruyan mused to herself, the corners of her mouth unconsciously curving upward, an arc full of cunning.

Adjusting her clothes, she followed the maid upstairs, her high heels tapping rhythmically on the floor.

With each step up the stairs, Liu Ruyan felt her heart inexplicably quicken, and the explosive scenes she had rehearsed in her mind became increasingly clear.

Lu Chen would be engrossed in beauty, making a fool of himself, while she would hold irrefutable evidence, firmly controlling him.

Thinking of this, the smile on her face grew brighter, and she felt that her future was full of promise.

Soon,

Liu Ruyan followed the maid to the second floor.

The two tall maids standing by the door slowly opened the room.

Looking at the wide and bright doorway before her.

Liu Ruyan’s footsteps suddenly paused slightly, and she felt inexplicably nervous.

She had a premonition that the scene in this room might be very explosive, and she might very well capture Lu Chen indulging in lewd scenes of beauty.

Thinking of this,

Liu Ruyan felt a little shy, and a blush quietly crept up her cheeks.

How embarrassing would it be if she really encountered such a scene?

But then she thought again.

If she captured such a scene, wouldn't it be even easier to control Lu Chen?

“He dared to pressure me like that; what does it matter if I take some pictures?!”

Liu Ruyan took a deep breath, and her slender fingers pushed her glasses up.

As if injecting herself with a shot of courage, she then swayed gracefully forward.

The moment the scene inside the room came into view, Liu Ruyan’s body suddenly froze.

The imagined lewd scene did not appear, Lu Chen was not as engrossed in beauty as she had imagined, and nothing indecent had occurred.

On the contrary, Lu Chen lay on the bed, his face as pale as paper, looking very weak, completely lacking his usual vigor.

At the bedside, a woman was meticulously caring for him.

Liu Ruyan looked closely.

The woman had an elegant figure; her tall stature was no less impressive than hers, and the mature charm she exuded in her every move was even more graceful than Liu Ruyan’s.

A form-fitting qipao perfectly outlined her slender waist and exquisite curves.

The hem of her skirt hung gently, swaying slightly with her movements, like flowing moonlight, soft and dignified.

Her ink-black hair cascaded like a waterfall, smoothly draped over her shoulders, with a few wisps falling beside her fair cheeks, adding a touch of charm.

Her eyebrows and eyes were like a painting, her eyes like clear autumn water, transparent with tenderness and competence.

Her nose bridge was delicate, and her lips were elegant, like a rosebud about to bloom in spring, naturally vibrant and captivating.

She focused on tucking the quilt around Lu Chen, her movements gentle, her eyes full of concern, exuding a quiet and confident aura.

It was like aged fine wine, rich and intoxicating.

Liu Ruyan stood rooted to the spot, dumbfounded, filled only with shock and frustration.

If she could still claim a slight advantage in figure and temperament over the maid who had been hanging clothes earlier.

But against this woman before her, she had no chance of winning at all!

If she also considered the maid who had been hanging clothes earlier, then she was even more inferior in every aspect, utterly useless!

“How did such a beautiful woman appear again?”

Liu Ruyan unconsciously gritted her teeth, her hands unknowingly clenching the strap of her shoulder bag, her meticulously manicured nails digging deeply into her palms.

Her slightly furrowed brows were filled with unwillingness, and the arrogance in her eyes instantly shattered, replaced by a swirling mix of panic and bitterness.

“Lu Chen, that scoundrel, actually keeps such a golden bird! Surrounded by so many peerless beauties, he still doesn’t forget to provoke me!”

Indignation burned fiercely in her chest, making her cheeks flush.

But with a change of thought, a different kind of solace welled up in her heart.

“To be able to stand shoulder to shoulder with these beauties, doesn’t it just prove that I, Liu Ruyan, am exceptionally beautiful?”

Thinking this, she forced a smile, comforting herself in this manner.

Gao Xuewei noticed someone had entered and looked up.

The moment her gaze met Liu Ruyan’s, a flicker of surprise crossed her eyes.

The person before her was as dazzling as the scorching sun, flamboyant and charming.

Her exquisite attire and the confident aura she exuded were not to be underestimated.

Gao Xuewei instinctively straightened up, her hand unconsciously smoothing the wrinkles on her skirt, and a hint of wariness quietly crept into her originally peaceful eyes.

Her brows furrowed slightly, revealing a sense of crisis.

She pursed her lips, maintaining a gentle smile on her face, and softly asked, “And you are?”

Only the subtle clenching of her dress hem betrayed the tension and unease in her heart.

Liu Ruyan regained her composure, her chin slightly raised, regaining some of her haughty demeanor, and parted her red lips: “My name is Liu Ruyan, Lu Chen’s secretary. Seeing that he didn’t come to the company, I came to report on work.”

As she spoke, her gaze continued to scrutinize Gao Xuewei, as if trying to see through her.

Gao Xuewei nodded slightly, stepped aside a bit, and politely replied, “Lu Chen is unwell and just rested.”

Unwell? Why is that? Is it related to the events outside the manor? Or did he play too hard, causing his body to weaken... Liu Ruyan mused inwardly, but her face remained impassive as she gracefully walked towards the bed.

Her gaze swept over Lu Chen, her emotions complex and hard to discern, a mix of anger, resentment, and a touch of indescribable reproach.

This situation was far more difficult than she had imagined.

But since she, Liu Ruyan, had come, there was no reason to retreat!

Liu Ruyan smiled slightly, then turned and spoke faintly to Gao Xuewei.
