Tang Wu was never the coy type.
If he wanted to look, she was not going to hide it.
Although it was a bit embarrassing, she still took off her bathrobe.
She stood in front of the mirror and turned the camera toward it.
Through the mirror, Si Yanli saw her in her swimsuit.
The black bandeau swimsuit fit her perfectly, tracing the curves of her slender and graceful figure without leaving anything to the imagination.
Under the short skirt hem, her legs were long and straight.
She had a great figure, curvy where she should be and slim where she needed to be.
Her waist was so slender it looked as if it could be held in one hand.
Contrasted against the black fabric, her skin was as fair and smooth as a freshly peeled egg, without a single flaw.
The striking contrast between black and white was a strong visual stimulation.
Si Yanli's sharp, pale Adam's apple bobbed unconsciously.
Seeing that the man did not speak, Tang Wu pursed her red lips. This is already the most conservative swimsuit in my closet. If I wore a bikini, you definitely would not allow it, right!
Si Yanli thought of the photo saved in his phone album, and his deep, phoenix-like eyes darkened a fraction. As long as you only wear it for me to see.
Tang Wu was speechless.
She suddenly realized that he was quite secretly passionate beneath his reserved exterior.
Rest early. See you tomorrow, the man said, his voice warm and smooth.
Tang Wu nodded. Okay, good night.
Good night.
...
The next day.
Tang Wu woke up early. After doing her makeup, she drove to the Translation Institute.
Gu Lingwei saw Tang Wu downstairs at the Translation Institute and was both excited and happy.
Sister Wuwu, you resigned from the TV station and were not in Ye City. I thought I would not be able to see you for a long time!
Gu Lingwei affectionately linked arms with Tang Wu. I missed you so much while you were gone.
Looking at Gu Lingwei, who was like a little ray of sunshine, a smile curved on Tang Wu's lips. Me too.
Gu Lingwei leaned close to Tang Wu's ear and whispered some gossip. A while ago, Xu Dai even tried to seduce Vice Director Si. She was severely reprimanded by Vice Director Si in his office and was almost blacklisted.
Tang Wu had long seen that Xu Dai wanted to hook up with Si Yanli. However, a noble and aloof man like Si Yanli was not someone just anyone could seduce.
Tang Wu and Gu Lingwei arrived at the office. When Pei Yi, Sister Yao, and the others saw Tang Wu, they welcomed her warmly.
Tang Wu distributed the gifts she had brought back from Australia to them one by one.
Si Yanli and Xu Zhou came out of the conference room. He glanced at the bright and beautiful Tang Wu and lowered his voice to say to Xu Zhou, Have Tang Wu come to my office in a bit.
Xu Zhou understood Si Yanli's thoughts; the Vice Director wanted to use his position to make a move on Tang Wu.
Tang Wu had probably been scared off a while ago, which was why she suddenly went abroad.
But he did not expect Tang Wu to suddenly return, and even come back to the Translation Institute.
Could it be that Tang Wu could not resist the Vice Director's charm and was about to break her moral bottom line?
Xu Zhou sighed silently.
Vice Director Si, who had always been noble and elegant in his heart, was really ruining his image.
Seeing Xu Zhou's gaze occasionally land on his face, Si Yanli frowned slightly. Assistant Xu, speak your mind.
Xu Zhou immediately coughed. Vice Director, do you not have a wife at home?
Si Yanli's voice was flat. Divorced.
Xu Zhou was speechless.
He actually got divorced?
No wonder Tang Wu returned to the country. Did she finally know she could become the official wife?
Remember to have Tang Wu come to my office later.
Xu Zhou remained speechless.
Did he have to be so blatant about it?
...
After Tang Wu was almost done distributing the gifts, she saw Xu Zhou and walked over with a present.
Xu Zhou politely declined at first, but Tang Wu insisted on giving it to him, so he had to accept it.
Miss Tang, the Vice Director wants you to go to his office.
Tang Wu nodded. I know. I will go right away.
Looking at Tang Wu, who was smiling like a blooming flower, Xu Zhou roughly understood that these two were mutually affectionate now.
Tang Wu walked to Si Yanli's office door and raised her hand to knock.
Come in.
Tang Wu pushed the door open and entered. The man's phoenix eyes behind his glasses looked toward her.
After closing the door, Tang Wu walked up to the man's desk. Why did you call me in?
Si Yanli beckoned to her. Tang Wu walked up to him, and in the next second, he pulled her into his arms.
Tang Wu was startled and tried to struggle up from his lap, but the man held her waist tightly and refused to let go. I am going to the hot spring resort tonight. Would you consider bringing a family member?
Tang Wu pressed her hands against the man's chest. What family member? You do not count as one yet.
His long, well-defined fingers lifted her chin, and his handsome, elegant face leaned closer to hers. You really will not bring me?
The breath from his words brushed over her, hot and tingling.
A blush crept up Tang Wu's small face. Let go of me quickly. This does not look good.
The man chuckled softly. We are open and aboveboard. What is bad about it?
Tang Wu shot him a reproachful glare. I have not agreed to you yet!
Now that she held the initiative, she would not be as cautious as before.
She wanted to enjoy the process of being pursued by him during this time.
Si Yanli did not say anything more. Instead, he simply lowered his head and captured her lips.
The moment he kissed her, Tang Wu's mind went blank for a second.
Her long eyelashes fluttered gently like butterfly wings, and all her nerves pulled taut like a string.
This was his first time kissing her in the office.
Tang Wu gripped his shirt tightly. Aren't... aren't you afraid of being seen?
No. Right now, I am only afraid of failing to win you over.
Before Tang Wu could say anything, he kissed her lips once again.
Just as she was about to succumb to his temptation, the office door was suddenly pushed open.
Xu Zhou stood at the office door holding a document. Seeing the scene inside, he was completely dumbfounded.
Ah!
Who was he? Where was he?
Had he walked into the wrong place?
When Tang Wu saw Xu Zhou, she sprang up from Si Yanli's lap like a coiled spring.
I will go out first. She straightened her hair and, with her cheeks burning hot, ran out as if fleeing for her life.
Xu Zhou froze in place awkwardly, unable to decide whether to leave or enter.
Si Yanli's handsome features darkened at a visible speed. Do you not know how to knock before coming in?
Xu Zhou felt incredibly wronged. He had knocked!
Vice Director, this document is very important and needs your signature immediately, Xu Zhou said, bracing himself.
Si Yanli pressed his thin lips together tightly before letting Xu Zhou into the office.
Xu Zhou handed the document to Si Yanli, not daring to look at him at all.
After signing, Si Yanli glanced at Xu Zhou and said in a cool voice, Tang Wu is my ex-wife whom I divorced. I am currently pursuing her.
Xu Zhou was speechless.
Miss Tang was the Vice Director's mysterious wife?
He... he could not have heard wrong, right?
...
The tea room.
Xu Dai was about to make a cup of coffee. As she walked to the door, she heard Pei Yi and a few male colleagues talking.
Brother Pei, you do not have a secret crush on Tang Wu, do you? When she came over today, you were acting like a peacock showing off its tail feathers!
Pei Yi scratched the back of his head. Was I being that obvious?
Way too obvious. But Tang Wu is beautiful and talented, so it is not surprising that you like her.
Xu Dai could not stand listening to this for another second. She walked in with a sneer. "Sure, Tang Wu is pretty, but her morals are completely twisted. What good is a pretty face?"
Pei Yi bristled with annoyance. "What is wrong with my junior's morals? Just because you cannot compare to her does not mean you get to slander her. Xu Dai, I never expected a major celebrity like you to stoop so low."
Xu Dai gave a cold, mocking smirk. "The news of Tang Wu being a homewrecker is already trending all over the internet. Haven't you guys seen it yet?"
