As if the pen had absorbed the scent of cosmetics from her bag, a subtle fragrance emanated from it and wafted into their noses.

Even the signatures on the contract exuded a faint scent.

The fragrance lingered in the air, seemingly determined to infiltrate every corner of their bodies through their breaths, assertive and dominant.

Gu Shiyan handed her the signed contract.

Fang Wen took it, glanced through it, and looked up at Gu Shiyan, smiling. “Mr.

Gu, it’s been a pleasure working with you. ”

“Likewise,” Gu Shiyan nodded, turning to leave.

However, Fang Wen took a step forward and walked up to him. “Mr. Gu, you must be tired. Let me assist you to the resting area for a break.”

Gu Shiyan raised an eyebrow, and his deep eyes suddenly seemed to turn into an eternal ice cave, emanating a chilling gaze as he looked at her. “You’ve got the wrong person.”

Fang Wen’s smile remained unchanged as she gazed straight into his eyes and said slowly, “Mr. Gu, I said you looked tired. Let me help you rest.”

It seemed like her eyes had captivated him. Gu Shiyan stared at her, and his profound eyes gradually became vacant.

Staring blankly at her, after a moment, he nodded in agreement, “Alright.”

Fang Wen smiled and reached out, taking hold of his arm, and they walked towards the CEO’s office, heading directly to the adjoining resting area.

Outside the room, Chen, the secretary who had come to find the CEO to sign some documents, saw Fang Wen holding onto his boss’s arm without him reacting at all, which surprised him.

What’s going on?

Though their companies had cooperated many times before, and Fang Wen had been here on several occasions, she and the boss hadn’t been familiar or close to this extent, right?

And they were heading towards the resting area?

Miss Fang was holding the CEO’s arm!!!

Chen was stunned by this information. Was the boss… planning to have an affair?

This didn’t seem right!

He hesitated for a moment before stepping forward. “Mr. Gu, there are a few documents that need your signature.”

Fang Wen spoke up directly, “Chen, Mr. Gu is tired and needs to rest for a while. If there are any documents that need to be signed, wait for the afternoon.”

Chen looked at Gu Shiyan, “Mr. Gu?”

Gu Shiyan, with an exquisitely handsome face, remained expressionless, gazing straight ahead without a word.

Chen felt something was off, so he reached out to shake Gu Shiyan slightly.

Fang Wen stepped in front of him, blocking his way, “Chen, what are you trying to do? Can’t Mr. Gu take a rest in the company?”

As she spoke, she reached out and held Gu Shiyan’s arm, intending to lead him to the other side.

Chen became more convinced that something was wrong and hurriedly grabbed Gu Shiyan’s other arm, about to call someone for help.

Gu Shiyan’s eyes flickered as he glanced at Chen.

Chen blinked, having been the boss’s secretary for many years, he could still read some expressions. Although he didn’t understand what the boss was planning, he instinctively let go of his hand.

“Mr. Gu needs to rest. You can leave now, Chen,” Fang Wen said directly.

Watching Chen leave, she locked the office door from the inside, then turned and led Gu Shiyan into the resting area.

Gu Shiyan was a workaholic, and staying overnight in the office due to work was not uncommon.

As a result, the resting area was a complete suite, filled with his clothes, shoes, toiletries, and many other personal belongings, bearing traces of his life all around.

Fang Wen glanced around and then led Gu Shiyan to sit on the bed, reaching out to lightly touch his cheek, seemingly entranced.

Her mind flashed back to the first time she accompanied Mr. He to the restaurant to meet Gu Shiyan.

Nervously pouring water for Gu Shiyan, she accidentally knocked over the glass and frantically tried to catch it, only to knock over the nearby cup and utensils as well.

Not only did she mess up her own clothes, but she also soaked a large area of Gu Shiyan’s attire.

At that time, she had only heard that Gu Shiyan was ruthless, and she thought she was in deep trouble. Scared to the point where her legs almost gave way, she could barely stand.

Unexpectedly, Gu Shiyan didn’t blame her. Instead, he took off his own coat to cover her and had someone bring her new clothes.

From then on, she worked tirelessly and climbed up the ladder, all to be able to come together with Mr. He to see him during each cooperation.

Finally, she became a project manager, and there would be even more opportunities to interact with him in the future.

Unfortunately…

Fang Wen murmured, “Mr. Gu, I’m sorry.”

With determination, she took off Gu Shiyan’s coat and unbuttoned his shirt, revealing his well-built chest.

Opening her bag, she took out a pair of scissors and several small transparent bags.

Carefully, she trimmed some of his fingernails and hair, putting them in the bags and placing them back in her bag. Then, she took out a black box with intricate patterns carved on it.

Opening it revealed a small glass bottle with a finger-thin yellow oily substance visible through the glass.

Removing the cork at the top, a strange and nauseating smell instantly filled the resting area.

It seemed as though layers of decaying leaves had fermented together or like years of accumulated garbage with various foul smells had tangled up.

Suppressing her nausea, Fang Wen hurriedly went to the window and opened it.

Taking a deep breath of fresh air, she then took out a cotton swab, dipped it into the bottle, and took it out.

A struggle flashed in her eyes when she looked at Gu Shiyan, but thinking about that person’s words, she closed her eyes, trembling, and reached her hand towards Gu Shiyan’s mouth to apply it.

Just as the cotton swab was about to touch Gu Shiyan’s lips, the seemingly lifeless Gu Shiyan suddenly grabbed her wrist.

Startled, Fang Wen exclaimed, “Mr. Gu, how…”

Just a moment ago, he had been completely unconscious from the aphrodisiac.

A sharp pain shot through her wrist, causing Fang Wen to cry out in pain.

In Gu Shiyan’s eyes, a bone-chilling coldness could be seen. He reached out, took the bottle from her hand, and then flung her away with force, using the cork to seal the bottle again.

Looking down at Fang Wen who was sitting on the ground, he asked, “What is this? Who asked you to do this?”

Fang Wen turned her head, unable to look at him, clenching her teeth tightly without uttering a word.

Gu Shiyan turned to the window and put the bottle back into the black box.

“You better tell the truth quickly. Your family may still have a chance,” he said coldly.

Fang Wen turned her head sharply, looking at him in disbelief. “Mr. Gu, what do you mean by that?”

“You should be asking yourself that question. Who did you make a deal with?” Gu Shiyan’s voice was ice-cold.

After hearing from Lu Miao yesterday about the strange scent and perfume on him, he had immediately ordered an investigation into everyone he had met yesterday..
