WARNING! Tsundere President

Huo Yunting put down his chopsticks, pulled out a tissue paper to wipe his mouth before getting to his feet, and looked condescendingly at her. “What has it to do with me?”

“You don’t know?”

He dropped the tissue paper into the trash bin beside his foot with the flick of his fingers. “How should I suppose to know? You already hurried me away before I could even tell Hou Li what to do. You know better than me.”

Was that how she thought of him?

Lu Zhaoyang lowered her head, realizing that she might have wronged him again.

Perhaps Lu Bai left by himself. After all, since Huo Yunting was there, Huo Chen might not be far away.

Leaving was the right decision.

The disinfectant smell on Huo Yunting wafted into her nostrils, reminding her of how he had saved her. It upset Lu Zhaoyang.

“Get some rest. I will wash the dishes.” She began to clean up the dishes.

Huo Yunting did not say anything but look at her.

Since it was late now, he would just stay for the night.

After Lu Zhaoyang finished cleaning up, she became self-conscious and self-blaming. So, she served him by bathing him.

She thought she must have lost her mind that she blamed him for something he did not do.

She lay in bed and could not sleep. She was worried about Lu Bai.

“Are you testing my self-control by wriggling in my arms?” The Huo Yunting’s teasing voice was heard saying.

Lu Zhaoyang froze. Now, her posture was as if she was hanging from his body with her head buried in his chest.

“Goodnight.” She arched against his chest like a kitten.

Her teasing movement was entirely innocent. She only knew that she was wrong and that she should not blame her.

Huo Yunting patted the back of her head so that she would be more restful.

Her graceful body pressed against his. He felt a thousand ants crawling on his chest and fire burning in his lower body; he was restless.

One more move, he was going to lose it.

The next day, when the two were having breakfast, Yan Se called saying that Chen Jiu had gotten away, and she would be back and on standby on the fourth floor. Huo Yunting did not mind it. After all, those who could escape hunting from the state were no slouch.

It was time to go to work. Yan Se, who was already waiting downstairs, greeted Huo Yunting with a broad smile on her face. Huo Yunting ignored her. He climbed into Huo Li’s car and took off.

On her way to the office, Lu Zhaoyang was spiritless. She was still worried about Lu Bai. She did not know if he was safe with no way of contacting Lu Bai. She pretty much had forgotten about Yan Se the whole day. It was only until the day ended that she was surprised to realize that Yan Se did not have her meals in the office.

It meant that Yan Se had spent most of her time outside.

“Are you hiding outside and having your lunch?” She looked at Yan Se who was behind the wheel.

“Boss texted me. He asked that I should not bother you in the office.” Yan Se looked helpless.

“Since the targets have been identified, I don’t think I need a bodyguard anymore.”

“We have not caught them. It is better to be safe than sorry. Who knows if they will attack in the dark? I should have informed the second master earlier and arrested them!”

In fact, Yan Se had notified Huo Chen when she arrived home last night.

Lu Zhaoyang slowly turned to gaze at the traffic outside the window. She had not seen him for such a long time.

From the corner of her eyes, Yan Se noticed that Lu Zhaoyang had had something weighing on her mind. So, they both said nothing.

Over half a month had passed in the blink of an eye. Lu Bai did not return. Yan Se was staying on the fourth floor and accompanying Lu Zhaoyang to work every day; they were like twins.

Huo Yunting seemed to be extremely busy; he would come over occasionally and left after dinner. While looking at the working reports today, Lu Zhaoyang got a call from Su Cheng.
