Chapter 396: 396, you want to get rid of him?

Shi Huan then asked him, “May I ask, CEO Chu, do you have any specific preferences or requirements for your other half in marriage?

Upon further thought, she has indeed been organizing Chu Xiuhuang’s affairs

all these years.

As for women, he didn’t have any specific requirements either. Each time it was her who arranged, and then he would say he was satisfied, not satisfied, or very satisfied.

She had been studying, trying to find a pattern, yet while traces could be found in everything else, Chu Xiuhuang seemed indifferent, yet also not so indifferent when it came to women.

What kind of woman he really liked didn’t seem to have a specific image.

Because every woman was dumped in less than a month…

Therefore, Shi Huan thought it was indeed necessary to understand him better.

Chu Xiuhuang gave a laugh, his attractive fingers picked up a lighter, and lit up

a cigarette.

Whisps of smoke rose in the office.

Soon, a scent of tobacco came wafting over.

After a bout of clouding smoke, Chu Xiuhuang began speaking slowly, “First,

she must be a woman.”

The pen in Shi Huan’s hand paused.

What kind of requirement was this?

“Cannot be a gay man, nor a crossdresser, I don’t like.

Shi Huan:”…”

Alright then.

“Second,” Chu Xiuhuang blew a smoke ring, tilted his head back, and looked at

Shi Huan from below, “She must be smarter and more capable than you.”

Again Shi Huan:”…”

“Why aren’t you writing?” Chu Xiuhuang laughed, “Do you think, you’re so

smart and capable, no other woman can compare to you?”

Shi Huan picked up her pen and while writing she said, “CEO Chu is

overthinking.”

Overthinking’s Chu Xiuhuang continued to laugh, “Third, she must be like you, Secretary Shi, ready to be called upon whenever needed, even if it’s two o’clock in the morning and I’m drunk, if I call you, you must come within half an

hour.”

All Shi Huan could do was continue writing.

“Fourth.”

Chu Xiuhuang watched her as she took notes, squinting.

One hand held the hardcover notebook’s back, while the other held a fountain pen. Her head was slightly lowered, allowing only a view of her cute, upturned little nose and the faint glimpse of her pink lips.

With a quick gulp, Chu Xiuhuang’s voice suddenly became somewhat husky, “She shouldn’t be too tall, best if she reaches up to my chest, easier to hug that way. She should have straight legs, they look good in skirts. Her skin should be light, the lighter the better. Her hair should smell good, she should not wear heavy makeup, no lipstick…”

The more Shi Huan listened, the more she felt something was off.

Unavoidably, she thought about that day at the club.

In the dark and luxurious private room, she fell onto the sofa, and he fell down

as well.

“Secretary Shi, why is your face red?”

The sudden approach of his deep voice and the faint smell of tobacco from his nose left Shi Huan in a daze.

Raising her head, she realized that Chu Xiuhuang had made his way over to her at some point.

The intense pressure made her step backward right away, “It’s a bit warm.”

“Warm?” Chu Xiuhuang tilted his head to look out the window, “It’s raining outside and the window’s open. How could it be warm?

“…It’s stuffy.”

ChuXiuhuang:”…”

Before he could say anything, Shi Huan immediately asked, “CEO Chu, do you

have any other requirements?”

Chu Xiuhuang held a cigarette in one hand, his wickedly handsome eyes mysteriously and deeply gazing at her, and then…

“No more, you can leave now.”

“Okay.” Shi Huan quietly heaved a sigh of relief.

She turned around and had only taken two steps…

“Wait a minute.”

Shi Huan could not help but roll her eyes.

As she turned around, her small face was as composed and indifferent as always, “CEO Chu, do you have any other instructions?”

Chu Xiuhuang put out his cigarette and began walking towards her.

One step.

Two steps.

Three steps…

He kept on walking.

Shi Huan backed away in a hurry, but Chu Xiuhuang kept moving forward until

Shi Huan’s back hit the hard door.

“CEO Chu, you…” she started.

Chu Xiuhuang stepped forward, raised one arm, and successfully pinned her against the wall, his action referred to as ‘kabedon’.

“So, is it that you will help resolve any issue I have?” Chu Xiuhuang’s effective stare made the room electric.

For a moment, his electric gaze seemed to redden her pale face even further, slowly seeping through her fair complexion, as though a layer of rouge had been applied to it.

It was incredibly appealing.

Chu Xiuhuang hadn’t forgotten the fleeting glimpse he’d had when he removed her glasses that day.

Unlike her usual traditional, old-fashioned style, Shi Huan without glasses was petite, exquisite, and beautiful…

A little delicate and pitiful.

I knew all along, considering that her elder sister was so attractive, the younger one wouldn’t have been far behind.

However, over these years, Shi Huan had always dressed this way from the day

I met her, and so I got used to it, always thinking that she was ordinary­looking.

As Chu Xiuhuang pondered…

“Chu, you’re standing too close,” Shi Huan warned hurriedly.

“Am I? I don’t think so.”

Seeing her panic-stricken eyes behind her glasses, Chu Xiuhuang’s thin lips curled into a devilish smile, “The other night at the club, we were even closer.”

Shi Huan:”…”

She dared not breathe!

She quickly pulled her laptop up to shield her face.

She finally felt a bit at ease.

But Chu Xiuhuang was displeased. He gave a contemptuous glance at that bothersome laptop between them, and squinted his eyes.

“Chu.”

Shi Huan had no choice but to push him away.

Such behavior was quite inappropriate in their current circumstance.

But Chu Xiuhuang grabbed her wrist. “Little Huanhuan, you haven’t answered my question. Will you solve any problem for me?”

In the past, Shi Huan undoubtedly would have replied, Yes.

This was her commitment she made on her first day as a secretary.

But considering the current scenario…

She had an ominous feeling.

Shi Huan could only graciously reply, “As long as I’m able to, I’ll certainly do my best to solve it.”

“Good,” Chu Xiuhuang smiled faintly, clutching her wrist, “Recently, I’m always in terrible pain, and strangely, seeing you triggers it. Do you want to… help me solve this?”

Caught off guard, Shi Huan didn’t know how to react.

Her laptop fell to the ground…

“Little Huanhuan.”

The next moment.

“…damn!”

Chu Xiuhuang blurted out a curse, sweat already beading on his forehead.

Was this secretary Shi trying to disable him?

It hurt like hell

Without waiting for his response, Shi Huan turned around, opened the door and ran away.

Someone was coming towards the corridor.

“Secretary Shi!” Shen Bingbing’s sharp voice was the first to be heard.

Shi Huan had no choice but to pause, pretending to be composed, “Director

Shen.”

It was a few representatives of Bingo Creative.

She remembered now, there was a work discussion arranged with Bingo at one o’clock in the afternoon today.

Shen Bingbing looked at her; her cunning eyes filled with curiosity, “Secretary Shi, what are you doing with a pen?”

Shi Huan looked down to realize she was left with just a pen, her laptop was left in Chu Xiuhuang’s office.

She maintained her composure, “Just went back to the office to get some stuff. Then she turned to an employee standing by, “Xiaoliu, please take the clients to the conference room.”

But Shen Bingbing asked, “Why go to the conference room? Is Mr. Chu not in the company?”

She glanced at the half-opened door behind them.

Secretary Shi just ran out from there, holding a pen. How could Mr. Chu possibly not be there?

Even so, she didn’t suspect anything, despite the gossip she’d read…

Because she never thought that Chu Xiuhuang would be interested in Shi Huan. After all, they had been working together for so long. If he was interested, he would’ve made a move long ago, right?

Not to mention, Shi Huan was plain-looking and from an ordinary family. Absolutely impossible, right!

“Mr. Chu is in the office.” Shi Huan’s lips tightened slightly, “but now, he is… probably not available.”

After all, she just kicked him. He might need some time to… cough, recover. Shen Bingbing nodded, assuming he was with other clients.

Although she was a bit disappointed not to see Mr. Chu, she could only smile and say, “That’s all right, we’ll go to the conference room.

As everyone turned to leave, Chu Xiuhuang’s voice suddenly echoed behind them, “I’m available now.”

Shi Huan:”…”

Shen Bingbing quickly halted and turned around, her voice much softer and sweeter, “Oh, Mr. Chu, you’re in the office after all. That’s great. Let s go to the meeting now.”

Shi Huan lowered her head.

Does Mr. Chu recover so quickly?

So quickly?

She couldn’t resist stealing a glance, only to find his gaze, as if looking to kill, met hers.

Shi Huan again:”…”

Uh.
