Chapter 024

Luo Yao thought for a moment and said, "Then punish me. You can punish me however you want when we get home!"

Lin Ran raised an eyebrow. "Is that really a punishment?"

How could you take advantage of the situation like that?

He casually sat down on Luo Yao's office chair. "Then be my secretary! Let me experience what it's like to live as President Luo."

Luo Yao immediately sat on Lin Ran's lap.

"What does this mean?"

Luo Yao's fingers slowly rose, gently tracing Lin Ran's chest.

"The boss is so handsome, and I don’t think I’m too bad myself. So, when there’s work, the secretary handles it, and when there’s no work…"

Lin Ran casually picked up the document that Liu Meng had just handed him.

"Then there’s work now. Secretary Luo, please review this document."

Luo Yao took the document with a puzzled look, quickly signed it, all while still sitting on Lin Ran's lap.

"Boss, it’s been reviewed. Please take a look."

Suddenly, there was a knock on the door.

Both of them froze, and a hint of killing intent flashed in Luo Yao's eyes.

"Come in!"

Liu Meng cautiously pushed the door open. "President Luo, the document!"

Luo Yao tossed the document over, and Liu Meng caught it perfectly.

"Thank you, President Luo!"

After closing the office door, Liu Meng let out a long sigh of relief.

It seemed President Luo's anger had mostly subsided. Oh my! Did I just see Lin Ran sitting in President Luo's chair, and President Luo sitting on his lap?

Wow! What a juicy piece of gossip! Excitement mixed with a tinge of disappointment.

Such a big scoop, yet I can’t share it.

Sigh!

Wang Fang asked, "Assistant Liu, is it done?"

Liu Meng listlessly handed the document to Wang Fang.

"Take it down to the operations department."

Wang Fang opened it and exclaimed excitedly, "It’s always you, Assistant Liu. The rest of us don’t dare show our faces in front of President Luo these days."

Liu Meng shook her head. "It’s not me. It’s all Lin Ran. He’s the one who made President Luo happy. Right now, she’s still sitting on his lap, flirting with him."

Wang Fang: "..."

"So, who exactly is Lin Ran?"

As if remembering something, she added, "Is he the handsome guy from that video conference the other day? You’re saying they’re... Oh my god."

"Is it really that intense?"

Liu Meng quickly covered Wang Fang's mouth. "Are you trying to get yourself killed, talking so loudly? I shouldn’t have told you."

Wang Fang also felt a chill.

"Right, right. I’ll go get busy now. Thanks for the reminder, Assistant Liu."

Liu Meng warned, "You better keep your mouth shut about this. If anyone finds out you leaked it, I won’t be responsible for cleaning up your mess."

Wang Fang nodded. "Got it, got it."

After delivering the document, Wang Fang returned to her desk, scratching her head in frustration.

The feeling of knowing such a big secret but not being able to share it was unbearable.

She turned to her colleague beside her.

"Little Zhang, go get me a cup of coffee, and I’ll tell you a secret."

Little Zhang immediately perked up and went to make the coffee without hesitation.

Back in the office, after Liu Meng left, Luo Yao turned around and froze.

Her desk was very simple, with just a computer, a water cup, and a few small decorations.

Lin Ran was staring at a small bottle on the desk, inside of which was a hidden note.

Curious, Lin Ran picked up the bottle, but Luo Yao snatched it back without a word.

Lin Ran teased, "Wife, I’ve noticed you’ve been keeping a lot of secrets lately!"

Luo Yao asked, "A-Ran, do you really want to see it?"

If Lin Ran wanted to see, Luo Yao wouldn’t stop him, but she felt a little conflicted.

Noticing Luo Yao’s hesitation, Lin Ran decided not to push her.

"If you want to show me, I’ll look. If you don’t, I won’t."

Luo Yao quickly put the bottle away, blinking her beautiful eyes. "I’ll let you know what’s inside someday."

Lin Ran sighed on the surface, but deep down, he wasn’t giving up.

It’s just a small bottle. He had a hundred ways to find out what was inside.

If he kept coming to the office, he’d eventually uncover all her little secrets.

Lin Ran was determined to see how many secrets the usually cold Luo Yao was hiding.

"A-Ran, I still want to be your secretary."

Lin Ran smirked. "I didn’t expect Secretary Luo to be so cooperative…"

From the office to the lounge, of course, since Luo Yao wasn’t feeling well, they didn’t take things further.

Luo Yao asked, "A-Ran, do you want to be the real boss of Luo Corporation? What if I gave it to you?"

Lin Ran was startled and quickly shook his head.

"No, I don’t. What would you do if I became the boss?"

Luo Yao gave a charming smile. "I’d keep being your secretary!"

Lin Ran chuckled helplessly.

"Stop joking. I just want to be a carefree slacker, not a workaholic."

Luo Yao teased, "Then why did you start a company?"

Lin Ran replied, "That’s different. I used your money to start a company so I could earn some extra cash to buy gifts for my wife."

"As for me, I’ll just wait for you to make money and support me. Why should I work so hard?"

Luo Yao’s heart was suddenly struck by a wave of happiness.

"Then I’ll support you for a lifetime."

Lin Ran grinned. "Of course. Did you think you could back out halfway?"

"It’s a promise."

"It’s a promise."

This life of being a kept man, Lin Ran was determined to hold onto it tightly.

Soon after, the two left Luo Corporation hand in hand.

Lin Ran’s appearance shocked the entire company, but no one dared to openly discuss it.

The executives, recognizing Lin Ran’s familiar handsome face, exchanged knowing smiles, while the regular employees were buzzing with gossip and shock.

"Did you hear? The entire executive floor is talking about President Luo’s young lover coming to the company."

"The whole company knows by now."

"If President Luo becomes gentler because of love, we’ll all be in for a treat."

"Apparently, this news is only supposed to stay among the executives, but the cleaning lady overheard it."

"President Luo isn’t the same as before. She’s been completely conquered by love."

"How does a security guard like you even know about this?"

"Of course, I do. I was the one who opened the elevator for that handsome guy when he arrived."

The company had seen many young men trying to charm Luo Yao and climb the ranks.

After all, who wouldn’t like a beautiful and wealthy female president?

But anyone who showed interest in Luo Yao would mysteriously disappear, so eventually, no one dared to try.

This icy female president might secretly be a cold-blooded killer.

She had scared off every man in the company.

She had even discouraged a few sapphic admirers.

Lin Ran frowned as he walked out of the building, holding Luo Yao’s hand.

"Why does it feel like everyone in your company is looking at me strangely?"

"Really? They dare to look at us? Their courage is growing."

"I’ll deduct their bonuses later."

Lin Ran felt a bit sorry for them, silently mourning their loss.

Luo Yao took Lin Ran to Huatian Plaza.

It was the plaza that had been transferred to Lin Ran’s name, with the mall being just a part of it.

This time, Luo Yao wanted to give Lin Ran a complete makeover.

Her man had to be the most dazzling guy around.
