Chapter 211
The lingering heat of the celebration banquet had not yet dissipated, and the air was filled with the scent of food and wine.
The table was a mess of cups and plates, and the scattered beer bottles bore witness to the revelry of this group of tech geeks tonight.
"Boss is awesome! Never fought such a rich battle in my life!"
"Burp... help me up, tomorrow... tomorrow I can still write another ten thousand lines of code!"
A few drunk programmers put their arms around each other's shoulders.
Talking nonsense, they stumbled out the door.
Li Si'nan looked at this group of "drunks".
She shook her head helplessly and resigned herself to cleaning up the mess.
"Teacher Li, leave it, find a cleaning lady to do it tomorrow."
Gu Ran's voice came from behind.
Li Si'nan turned around, only to see Gu Ran leaning against the door frame.
There was a hint of a drunken blush on his face, but his eyes were still clear.
"How can that be? It's so messy, the cleaning lady won't even be able to step inside tomorrow."
Li Si'nan said as she swept the trash on the table into a bag.
"Alright, listen to me."
Gu Ran stepped forward and took the trash bag from her hand.
"You go back first, I'll take care of this."
"You?"
Li Si'nan looked at him suspiciously.
"Didn't you drink too? Can you do it?"
"A man can't say he can't."
Gu Ran raised his eyebrows, took the rag from her hand, and started wiping the table.
Li Si'nan froze for a moment, then laughed.
She no longer insisted. Gu Ran looked young, but when he made up his mind, nine cows couldn't pull him back.
"Then... I'll withdraw first? Can you handle it alone?"
"Yeah, be careful on the road."
Li Si'nan nodded, walked to the door, and turned back.
Looking at the back of the young man who was seriously wiping the table, a complex emotion flashed in her eyes.
This "boss" who was a few years younger than her always had an incongruous sense of maturity about him, making people unable to help but want to believe in him.
The office door was closed.
Ye Zhenzhen originally wanted to help, but Gu Ran pressed her back into the chair with one hand.
The reason was—
"The boss's wife is in charge of supervising the work."
The young girl had to sit obediently, cupping her chin in her hands, her eyes glued to the busy figure.
As she watched, the fondness in her eyes almost overflowed.
"Come here."
Gu Ran tied the last trash bag, turned around, and waved at her.
Ye Zhenzhen walked over obediently.
As soon as she stood still, the masculine scent mixed with a faint smell of alcohol on the young man instantly enveloped her.
"You... are you drunk?"
Ye Zhenzhen looked at his cheeks, which were obviously redder than just now, and was a little worried.
"Yeah, a little bit."
Gu Ran frowned seriously, tilted his body, and fell towards her.
Ye Zhenzhen subconsciously wanted to dodge, but seeing his tightly closed eyes, she abruptly stopped her feet.
She let the young man press most of his body weight onto her.
Hiss, so heavy!
"So heavy..."
Ye Zhenzhen muttered softly, while struggling to support him.
At the same time, she reached out and felt his forehead.
"Are you dizzy?"
"Dizzy."
Gu Ran buried his face in her neck, his voice muffled, carrying a bit of softness and coquettishness that he didn't usually have.
Warm breath sprayed on the delicate skin of her neck, like a feather brushing lightly.
Ye Zhenzhen shuddered all over, her legs almost going soft.
"Then... then I'll help you to the sofa to rest for a while?"
Her voice trembled slightly.
"No."
Gu Ran shook his head, like a shameless large dog, rubbing against her neck even more vigorously.
"The sofa is hard, not as soft as you."
Ye Zhenzhen: "!!!"
How could this person be even more shameless when he was drunk than usual!
She felt her cheeks were so hot they could fry an egg.
"You... don't move around!"
Ye Zhenzhen wanted to push him away, but was afraid he would fall, so she could only let him cling to her like a giant pendant.
The two of them were deadlocked in an extremely ambiguous posture.
The office echoed with their rapid breathing.
"Zhenzhen."
"Huh?"
"You smell so good."
"..."
The young girl's mind suddenly flashed with the classic monologue of the heroine in the domineering CEO manga Pei Susu had shown her.
It's over.
It seems it will be hard to walk out of this door innocently tonight.
!!!
What on earth was she thinking?!
Ye Zhenzhen!
Please stop your fantasies!!
The young girl blushed with shame, resigning herself to dragging this "drunkard", moving step by step to the sofa.
"We're here, we're here, let go quickly."
She had just put the person on the sofa and hadn't had time to straighten up, when her wrist was suddenly caught.
A burst of spinning.
"Ah!"
Ye Zhenzhen was tightly enclosed in the young man's arms, her nose filled with the good smell on him.
"What are you doing!"
The young girl was both shy and angry, struggling to get up, but was held even tighter.
"Don't move."
Gu Ran's voice sounded above her head, with a hint of hoarse magnetism.
"Let me hold you for a while."
With this tone, where was the slightest hint of drunkenness?
Ye Zhenzhen instantly realized.
"Gu 'Dog' Ran! You're pretending to be drunk!"
She raised her head, glaring at him angrily.
Gu Ran looked at the face in his arms that had become even more delicate and charming due to shame and anger, and chuckled softly.
He didn't speak, just lowered his head.
Accurately capturing that chattering little mouth.
"Mmm..."
All protests were blocked back.
Ye Zhenzhen's mind went blank, leaving only the domineering yet gentle breath between their lips and teeth.
She felt like she was about to suffocate.
This kiss was deeper and more aggressive than the one in the car before.
The young man's hand had somehow slipped under the hem of her clothes.
His fingertips slid across the delicate skin of her back, igniting a cluster of prairie fires wherever they passed.
"Don't... don't do it here..."
When the kiss ended, Ye Zhenzhen collapsed limply in his arms, her voice as soft as a mosquito's hum.
This was the office!
Although the door was locked, the immoral feeling of being caught at any time made her body soft.
"Then where to go?"
Gu Ran's lips pressed against her earlobe, his voice hoarse beyond words.
"Back to the car?"
Ye Zhenzhen's face exploded with a "boom".
In the car?
The image instantly flooded her mind, that was a place even more shameful than the office!
"No... no..."
"Then what should we do? Dr. Ye?"
Gu Ran's fingers gently pinched a piece of soft flesh, his tone teasing.
"Mmm..."
Ye Zhenzhen shuddered all over, letting out a suppressed moan.
She felt like she was going to be driven crazy by this bad guy.
"I... I'll drive, we... we'll go back to school..."
The young girl's voice carried a crying tone, sounding extremely pitiful.
"Okay."
Gu Ran stopped while he was ahead, kissing her swollen lips heavily, and finally released his grip.
He knew that a meal had to be eaten bite by bite, and a rabbit pushed to the limit would also bite.
Ye Zhenzhen climbed up from the sofa, her hair messy, her clothes disheveled, her cheeks so red they could drip blood.
She glared fiercely at Gu Ran, turned around, and ran out.
"I'll go get the car!"
Gu Ran leaned lazily on the sofa, watching the young girl's fleeing back, unable to suppress the smile at the corner of his mouth.
He slowly took out his phone, his fingers quickly typing a line of words.
[Silly Bear: The car key is in my pants pocket.]
Ye Zhenzhen, who had just run to the door, felt her phone vibrate.
She looked down, and her footsteps suddenly froze.
She turned around mechanically.
Looking at the young man lying on the sofa with a wicked smirk on his face, she stomped her foot in shame and indignation.
This bastard!
Gritting her teeth and blushing, she inched her way back step by step.
When her trembling hand reached toward Gu Ran's pants pocket, she felt as if she had thrown her dignity all the way to the Pacific Ocean.
"Did you find it?"
Gu Ran's voice was full of teasing.
"...No."
"Then reach a little lower."
"Gu 'Dog' Ran! Go to hell!!!"

e bizarre and supernatural had descended. The previous emperor was a thoroughgoing tyrant; no longer satisfied with human women, he had set his sights on a stunningly beautiful supernatural entity. He met his end in his bedchamber, drained of all his vital essence. As the legitimate eldest son and crown prince, Wang Hao was thus hastily enthroned, becoming the young emperor of the Great Zhou Dynasty. No sooner had he awakened the "Imperial Sign-In Intelligence System" than he was assassinated by a Son of Destiny—a classic villain's opening. The Great Zhou, ravaged by the former emperor's excesses, was in national decline. The great families within its borders harbored their own treacherous schemes, martial sects began to defy the imperial court's decrees, and border armies, their pay and provisions in arrears, grumbled incessantly against the central government. Fortunately, the central capital was still held secure by the half-million Imperial Guards and fifty thousand Imperial Forest Army who obeyed the court's orders, along with the royal family's hidden reserves of power, barely managing to suppress the realm. As the Great Zhou's finances worsened and supernatural activities grew ever more frequent, the court sat atop a volcano. Ambitious plotters everywhere dreamed of overthrowing the dynasty, and even some reclusive ancient powers emerged, attempting to sway the tides of the world. At the first grand court assembly, the civil and military officials nearly came to blows, fighting tooth and nail over the allocation of fifty million taels of silver from the summer tax revenues. The spectacle opened Wang Hao's eyes—the Great Zhou's bureaucracy was not only corrupt but also martially proficient, a cabinet of all-rounders. Some officials even had the audacity to suggest the emperor release funds from the imperial privy purse to address the emergency. Wang Hao suddenly felt weary. Let it all burn.
and couldn't return to the real world. Finally, I gave up and decided to go with the flow, only to discover that writing a diary could make me stronger. Since no one could read it, Su Luo wrote freely, daring to pen anything and everything. Female Lead #1: "Not bad. This diary helped me steal all the protagonist's opportunities. I just want to get stronger." Female Lead #2: "I don’t care about reaching the peak of the cultivation world. Right now, I just want to enjoy the chaos." Female Lead #3: "What? Everyone around me is a spy? I’m the Joker Demon Lord?" ... It’s so strange. Why is the plot completely off track, yet the ending remains the same? Are you all just messing with me?!
nd fell into a coma while saving his younger sister from an out-of-control car. He became a vegetable. No one knew that his consciousness had crossed into a world of cultivation. Over the course of sixty years, he began as the lowest kind of mine slave, struggling to survive amid mountains of corpses and seas of blood. By sheer chance, he eventually obtained the complete memories of a fallen Immortal King. Alchemy, medicine, formations, feng shui, physiognomy, artifact forging… Every great inheritance of the cultivation world was now his. But when he opened his eyes again, he discovered that ten full years had passed in the modern world. To pay for his treatment, his father had sold the family’s shop and house, leaving himself covered in lasting injuries and illness. His mother had cared for him day and night, and more than half of her hair had already turned white. His younger sister, who had been only fifteen back then, was now twenty-five. To help repay the family’s debts, she had been forced to lower her head and put on a smiling face in places of glittering lights and endless revelry. Only then did Chen Xuan understand that what he had lost was not merely ten years. He had lost the life his entire family was meant to have. The good news was that he had brought back the memories of an Immortal King’s entire lifetime. The bad news was that his soul had returned alone—his cultivation had not come with him. Spiritual energy was scarce, resources were depleted, and the modern world still had firearms, surveillance, capital, and laws. If he wanted to protect his family, break free from everyone’s control, and become truly invincible beneath the heavens, he would have to start all over again.
s the Eldest Princess, renowned for her cold and aloof detachment, became the most docile of lambs, obeying his every command without question. But when the final move was played on the chessboard, as Gu Chenghan seized everything and ascended on the verge of apotheosis, that very Princess suddenly embraced him from behind, her tone carrying a dependence never heard before: "Wait... you haven't yet... commanded me to love you forever." Gu Chenghan froze abruptly. She... hadn't been hypnotized?! ... [The Eldest Princess's Diary] [When my soul was extracted, becoming the sole spectator outside my own shell] [At first, there was overwhelming fury, until I saw] [How he used my sword to effortlessly shatter my inescapable doom] [How he wielded my authority to eradicate fatal conspiracies I had never even detected] [Like a deity, he rescued me from the deep mire I was trapped in] [If not for those annoying vixens, he and I would be a match made in heaven] [I think I am ill, gravely ill] [My deity should belong to me alone] ...
