Chapter 5 Drunken Confession Mix-Up
My mouth stuttered, but inside, my mind raced like ten thousand horses.
"You, you know everything? Then... what do you plan to do? For the sake of knowing each other so many years, can you not make it public?"
Scold me privately however you want.
Please, no public execution. I couldn't handle it.
Gu Zhaoyu's face sank.
"You're planning to hide it forever? If I don't ask, you'll never confess?"
"Uh... huh?"
I was utterly shocked, but joy filled my heart.
I escaped disaster.
He didn't know I was his archenemy.
The trouble was, he thought I liked him.
How could he slander me like that?
What I liked was money.
I raised my right hand, four fingers together, swearing to heaven.
"Gu Zhaoyu, I swear, I have absolutely no improper thoughts about you. If I do, let me never get rich in this life."
Gu Zhaoyu's brows drooped, his face even darker.
He pursed his lips tightly, his throat bobbed a few times. He seemed to want to speak but stopped, then finally squeezed out words through his teeth.
"Lin Zhiyue, you're something."
He looked terrifying now.
"Gu Zhaoyu, rest well. I'm leaving first."
I ran, my left foot tripping my right, almost falling.
That night, I tossed and turned, unable to sleep. When I finally did, I had a terrifying dream.
In the dream, Gu Zhaoyu turned into a handsome snake man. He was shirtless, his sturdy body oppressive, abs clearly defined. His lower body was a thick, long snake tail, coiled up, looking down at me from above.
"Lin Zhiyue, money or me, which do you choose?"
"Money, money, money, I choose money."
He got angry, eyes red, using his huge snake tail to wrap around me, asking fiercely.
"Asking again, money or me, which do you choose?"
"Money, I choose money. Rest assured, even with ten thousand guts, I wouldn't dare have improper thoughts about you."
The handsome snake raged, opened his huge mouth, and swallowed me in one bite.
In his belly, I heard his muffled voice.
"Now it's good. I choose you, you choose money, so I have both you and money."
I woke up scared, covered in cold sweat.
Terrifying.
Dreaming of my boss was too shameful.
Good thing Gu Zhaoyu was a snake in the dream. If he was human...
How could I think so lewdly? Brain, stop, no more wild thoughts, hear me?
I found a suitable time and submitted my resignation.
Gu Zhaoyu looked at the application, his face unpleasant. He raised his eyes to me, gaze deep.
"We've been together for thirteen years."
"Yeah." I forced a laugh. "A long time."
"If it's because of what I said yesterday, I take it back. You don't need to resign. If you don't want to see me, I can transfer you to a branch as general manager."
"No, no need. I've never been to other companies, want to see elsewhere. Staying in one place too long isn't good."
Gu Zhaoyu stared at me fixedly. His fingers pinched and pinched that thin paper.
"You're tired of it?"
"Uh, sort of..."
Mainly scared!
I always felt my cover was about to blow. Before that, I had to escape quickly.
I was a coward, no courage to face Gu Zhaoyu's anger.
"Let me think about it."
