Chu Lingtian smiled, thinking that Liu Bingxue, this cold and domineering female CEO, was actually quite cute sometimes. She hadn't realized he had driven her home all along.
If it were Liu Huohuo, that little vixen, she would have known Chu Lingtian was the driver within three seconds of getting into the car.
It had to be said that Liu Bingxue was very serious and dedicated to her work, striving every day to expand the company, and thus failed to notice many other minor details.
"I missed you, and I missed your parents. I came to visit."
Chu Lingtian deliberately teased Liu Bingxue.
Liu Bingxue glared at Chu Lingtian and said sternly, "I remember I already told you we have no relationship. Last time, it was an emergency, so I let you pretend to be my boyfriend to deal with my parents. I paid you. We have an employer-employee relationship, and I made it very clear that after you left my house, you were never to see my parents or my sister again."
"Chu Lingtian, don't tell me you think that because I got drunk and we slept together that night, and by chance you met my parents and sister, you have a chance to truly be with me? I advise you not to harbor unrealistic fantasies and daydream."
"Sorry, I really haven't thought about being with you, at least not at the moment. Also, don't overestimate your beauty. Not every man will completely surrender when they see a beautiful woman, unlike me!"
Chu Lingtian knew Liu Bingxue looked down on him. He smiled indifferently and threw the car keys over after speaking.
Liu Bingxue caught the car keys Chu Lingtian threw, frowned, and asked, "Were you the one driving me home just now? Where is Wang Dagang?"
"Wang Dagang's mother suddenly fell ill, and he rushed to the hospital. He temporarily asked me to help him out." Chu Lingtian replied.
"Then why did you just say..." Liu Bingxue's words trailed off as her beautiful face filled with indignant anger. She glared fiercely at Chu Lingtian and cursed, "You scoundrel, you deliberately teased me!"
"Because you are much cuter when you're angry than when you're cold and frosty," Chu Lingtian said with a smile.
Liu Bingxue gritted her white teeth in anger. Never had any man dared to tease her like this.
"You can leave. Don't ever come here again. I don't want any relationship with someone like you!" Liu Bingxue said to Chu Lingtian with a cold gaze.
Chu Lingtian knew Liu Bingxue looked down on him, considering him a man without capability. Moreover, he had only been at Liu Bingxue's company for two days and had already violated company rules and caused trouble multiple times. So, it wasn't surprising that Liu Bingxue's resentment towards him grew.
"Bye-bye." Chu Lingtian waved his right hand at Liu Bingxue with his back to her and walked towards the exit with his hands in his pockets.
"Lingtian, Bingxue, you're back!" At that moment, Zhang Ping, carrying a bag of trash, came out of the elevator and saw Chu Lingtian and Liu Bingxue nearby, calling out happily.
Liu Bingxue was startled and instinctively looked at Chu Lingtian, only to see him pretend not to hear and continue walking forward.
Zhang Ping quickly walked up to Liu Bingxue with the trash, her eyes fixed on Chu Lingtian's retreating figure, and asked, "Bingxue, what's wrong with Lingtian? Did I offend him somehow last time? That's why he's ignoring me."
"No, no, Mom. He... he's in a hurry to find a restroom. He might not have heard you just now." Liu Bingxue was taken aback. Faced with this sudden situation, she could only continue to deceive her parents and maintain the pretense of being Chu Lingtian's girlfriend.
"This child, there's a restroom at home. Why are you so silly, letting him search for one in the underground parking lot? Go quickly and call him, let's go home together." Zhang Ping said to Liu Bingxue with a mixture of amusement and exasperation.
Liu Bingxue frowned. The thought of her parents discovering she had hired Chu Lingtian to pretend to be her boyfriend and deceive them made her realize that, given her parents' personalities, they might even disown her. The thought of her father Liu Shu's illness worsening, or even him passing away because of this, left her with only one option: to quickly catch up to Chu Lingtian and ask him to go home with her and continue pretending to be a couple.
Chu Lingtian was walking fast, and Liu Bingxue had to almost jog to catch up.
"Hey, wait a minute," Liu Bingxue called out.
Chu Lingtian stopped and turned to look at Liu Bingxue, asking, "What is it?"
"My mom just called you, didn't you hear?" Liu Bingxue walked up to Chu Lingtian and retorted with feigned anger.
"Your mom? Where?" Chu Lingtian looked around and asked again.
Liu Bingxue was silent for a few seconds and then said, "Let's go."
"Go? Where?" Chu Lingtian looked at Liu Bingxue with confusion.
"My mom just came down to throw out trash and saw us. She thought we were home to visit her and my dad." Liu Bingxue was already frustrated. She had always disliked Chu Lingtian, thinking he was not only incompetent but also arrogant. Furthermore, he had caused trouble at her company within days of joining, making her resent him even more. Unexpectedly, this sudden situation forced her to continue pretending to be his girlfriend.
"Oh." Chu Lingtian nodded, then turned and continued walking towards the exit of the underground parking lot.
Liu Bingxue hurried after him, her beautiful eyes glaring at Chu Lingtian, asking, "You scoundrel, what do you mean by that?"
"You're the one who just said you didn't want any relationship with someone like me and that I wasn't allowed to see your parents or sister anymore. I'm just following your orders," Chu Lingtian replied, looking directly at Liu Bingxue with a serious expression.
"You... you're doing this on purpose, aren't you? You know my mom just saw us together and already assumes we're here to visit. If you leave now, I won't be able to explain!" Liu Bingxue was so angry her full breasts trembled, and her beautiful eyes fiercely glared at Chu Lingtian.
"That's your problem. Who told you to speak first? A person's word should be their bond," Chu Lingtian shrugged and sneered, continuing to walk forward.
Liu Bingxue was almost driven to death, yet she couldn't do anything about Chu Lingtian. She didn't even dare to shout at him for fear that her mother, Zhang Ping, who was not far away, might hear and cause further trouble.
Suppressing her anger, Liu Bingxue gritted her white teeth, caught up to Chu Lingtian again, and asked, "You scoundrel, what exactly do you want for me to go home with you and continue pretending to be a couple?"
"Why are you like this? You just said you didn't want any relationship with someone like me and that I wasn't allowed to see your parents or sister again, and now you want me to be your boyfriend? What exactly do you want? You're too fickle!" Chu Lingtian asked Liu Bingxue with a frustrated look in his eyes.
Liu Bingxue suppressed her anger and said with slightly parted red lips, "State your conditions."
"Beg me. If you beg me, I'll agree," Chu Lingtian said to Liu Bingxue with a playful smile. Liu Bingxue had said such harsh words earlier, and Chu Lingtian wanted to teach this cold and domineering female CEO a lesson in return.
"You..." Liu Bingxue clenched her fists tightly, took a deep breath, and said through gritted teeth, "I beg you, I beg you to come home with me and continue pretending to be my boyfriend."
"Not enough. You have to kiss me, and then I'll agree," Chu Lingtian said with a mischievous grin, puckering his lips and demanding Liu Bingxue kiss him with her sexy, fiery red lips.
