Chapter 272 Wu Xue is jealous of new secretary?

In the end, she found herself fighting to break free from his embrace, his continuous teasing making it unbearable for her to stay seated above him.

Wu Xue exclaimed, "This is too much! Can't you just have a straightforward conversation for once?" She tried to maintain a stern face, but a faint smile tugged at her lips.

Zhang Wei chuckled, thoroughly enjoying her adorable expression. "Where's the fun in that?" he quipped, giving her a playful nudge.

"But it's so confusing," Wu Xue protested, her laughter bubbling just beneath the surface.

"That's the beauty of it," he replied, a mischievous glint dancing in his eyes.

Wu Xue pressed her lips together in playful protest, looking incredibly endearing as she did.

Zhang Wei couldn't resist teasing her further, planting soft kisses on her neck and whispering, "You know, you're pretty cute when you're all jealous like this."

Wu Xue rolled her eyes. "Jealous? I'm not jealous. I just didn't expect to find a whole harem here." nove-LB(1n

Zhang Wei chuckled, his laughter infectious. "Oh, you're imagining things. They're just friends and colleagues."

Wu Xue challenged, "Just like me, right?"

Caught off-guard, Zhang Wei nodded with a grin, "Yes, just like you."

Wu Xue "..."

Her frustration bubbled to the surface, and she couldn't hold back any longer.

She launched into a fight with Zhang Wei, her small fists playfully raining down on him, and he caught them with a bitter smile. "Okay, enough about it. Tell me, what do you want to do? Do you want to take up the job or not?"

Wu Xue stopped her playful assault and turned serious. After a brief pause, she said, "I would like to stay with Lin Ruoxi."

"Really?" Zhang Wei raised his brows in surprise.

Wu Xue nodded, reminding him, "What do you need two secretaries for anyway? Just use that pink fox!"

Zhang Wei smiled, his tone slightly mocking, and Wu Xue realized that despite her claims of not being jealous, the words had slipped out.

"I-I believe I would be more helpful to you by being near Lin Ruoxi and Yu Lei, and assisting them," she said as she stood up, freeing herself from his grasp. She spoke awkwardly, avoiding his gaze.

Not willing to back down, Wu Xue responded, "... And I don't want to see you making out here with a new actress every day and lose my mind!"

The thought of Zhang Wei having fun here, surrounded by lush greenery, caused her to lose her cool.

She shot him a skeptical look, her eyes narrowing in suspicion. "Was that the real reason you bought an entertainment company!?" A sudden realization struck her like a lightning bolt.

Zhang Wei vehemently denied her accusations, attempting to downplay the truth. "That's just your imagination."

Wu Xue was momentarily left speechless, her mind racing. She sighed and shifted her gaze towards the door, seemingly lost in thought.

Unexpectedly, she took a bold step forward, her lips lightly brushing against his. "Remember, if you ever need anything, call me. E-even if it's something related to your women," she stammered nervously, her cheeks tinged with a blush as she tried to avoid his gaze.

A chuckle escaped Zhang Wei's lips as he watched her tough exterior melting.

Before he could react, she whispered something in his ear, leaving him blinking in surprise.

!?

He looked up just in time to see her making a hasty escape, and he couldn't help but laugh, shaking his head in amusement.

Wu Xue felt it was time to raise the stakes, so she unexpectedly proposed an agreement to share the bed alongside Lisa in the future.

The only condition? He had to convince Lisa to agree.

Wu Xue could faintly guess the reason he needed two secretaries for, and it was far from anything nobel!

Usually, she wouldn't dare such bold moves, but a newfound courage welled up within her when she recalled that even Leng Yan and Rose had shared a bed with him.

Why shouldn't she do the same?

She was spiraling deeper into unknown territory, especially after yesterday when she had discovered that Zhang Wei hadn't left her on her own and was covertly safeguarding her.

However, just as she passed through the lavish lobby, her expression suddenly shifted. "I forgot to ask him again... Sigh," she muttered in frustration, shaking her head. Her eyes brushed past Lisa and the others, her gaze distant and preoccupied.

She had meant to inform Zhang Wei that her mother wished to meet him and had extended an invitation for dinner, but once more, Wu Xue had let the opportunity slip through her fingers.

*Ahem*

Lisa walked in awkwardly, followed by the group of interns, her gaze darting slightly towards Zhang Wei with an uneasy expression.

Zhang Wei managed to maintain a composed demeanor despite the tension in the room. "Lisa, please lead them to the library. I need to have a private conversation with you."

The exclamation mark that followed sent shivers down Zhu Ran and the others' spines.

The library?

They exchanged nervous glances; there was only one library in this place, and it was undoubtedly in the chairman's personal room.

Lisa found herself momentarily dumbfounded. She had never expected Zhang Wei to be this direct.

Though they were all adults and understood the context, she wished he had chosen his words more tactfully.

The discomfort clouded Zhu Ran and the group, as they were escorted into the concealed room they had stumbled upon earlier during their explorations.

Zhu Ran whispered to his friend, "Sheesh, this is getting weirder by the minute. How did he ended he becoming the chairman! He won't exact his revenge later, right?"

His friend shot a nervous chuckle in response, "Guess we'll find out soon enough." Her gaze nervously, darted to huge bedroom inside.

Back in the office, Lisa felt the weight of Zhang Wei's gaze as he examined her carefully, making her nerves even more tense.

'What a cunning man! Master of disguise,' Lisa thought, her earlier positive impression of him now destroyed by this unexpected situation.

Despite her composure, she couldn't deny feeling uncomfortable.

Zhang Wei broke the silence, "So, Lisa, about the last event..."

She interrupted, her voice tinged with anxiety, "Chairman, I assure you, nothing of it would leak out from my mouth. Your personal life won't affect my work."

He smiled, a bit too knowingly. "I'm sure it won't."
