Lu Xuan looked at the "artwork" on his phone screen; the clarity and angle were perfect, and he felt incredibly pleased.
He turned to look at Chen Yubing; she had already struggled to get up, straightening her torn T-shirt, but it still couldn't hide her disheveled appearance.
"Director Chen, can you stamp it for me now?"
Lu Xuan asked slowly, his tone relaxed with the confidence of a victor.
Chen Yubing's cheeks still held a lingering blush, but her eyes, which had been filled with fear and despair moments ago, now held a strange, alluring charm.
She raised a hand to brush back her messy hair, a gesture revealing a captivating allure never seen from her before.
"Call me Sister Bing, Director sounds too distant."
She spoke softly, her voice carrying an indescribable intimacy, completely different from her previous coldness.
"Of course, I can stamp it. From now on, I'll listen to whatever you say. If you tell me to go east, I'll never go west."
Lu Xuan couldn't help but shiver at her sudden change in address and overly sweet tone; he felt goosebumps all over.
This contrast was even more stimulating than the videos he had just seen.
"Alright, stop with the nonsense and stamp it for me quickly."
Lu Xuan urged, forcing down his discomfort.
"Alright, Xuan Xuan."
Chen Yubing responded, picking up the scholarship application form from the desk. She quickly found her stamp and, with a "thud," pressed it down.
After stamping it, she surprisingly went limp, struggled to stand up, and then, as if by some strange impulse, reached out and linked her arm through Lu Xuan's.
"Xuan Xuan, can you tell me where you got those photos and videos? How did you confirm it was me?"
She leaned against him, her voice soft and sweet, tinged with curiosity and a hint of probing.
Lu Xuan raised a hand to ruffle her hair, his action so natural it seemed he had done it countless times before. "You little slut, still trying to trick information out of me?"
He chuckled, his tone a mix of indulgence and warning. "Don't worry about those."
His gaze inadvertently fell on the office chair, where a patch of dried crimson was visible.
"Wipe off the chair quickly; don't let anyone see it," he reminded her.
Chen Yubing followed his gaze, and her cheeks instantly flushed crimson again.
She hurriedly pulled wet wipes from a drawer and frantically wiped the chair.
The wet wipes quickly turned a startling red.
After cleaning the chair, Chen Yubing again linked her arm through Lu Xuan's, leaning even closer.
"Xuan Xuan, I'm all yours now, just tell me."
Her tone held a hint of coquetry and stubbornness.
"Don't ask what you should and shouldn't ask. I have my ways," Lu Xuan replied indifferently, without directly answering.
Then, as if remembering something, he looked at her. "By the way, I'm very curious, why did you make things difficult for me? I haven't provoked you before, have I?"
Upon hearing this question, Chen Yubing showed a hint of embarrassment. She subconsciously played with a strand of her hair, a small gesture that made her appear somewhat shy, a stark contrast to her previous ice queen image.
"Actually, I wasn't targeting you..." She paused, seemingly choosing her words carefully.
"It was aimed at Bai Yanxi from the Finance Department. We used to be best friends, and our families are old acquaintances. Her father is also a Military Region commander, now a deputy political commissar."
Lu Xuan rolled his eyes. Good heavens, another military scion, and the daughter of a deputy political commissar at that.
It seemed Yan University was truly a place where hidden dragons and crouching tigers resided; any random administrative director could be linked to a Military Region commander.
"But Bai Yanxi always likes to snatch my things!"
Chen Yubing's voice suddenly rose slightly, carrying a hint of grievance and indignation. "That year in junior high, she came to my house and took my favorite doll!"
Lu Xuan: "..."
Just because of a doll? Was it worth causing such a fuss? Was this woman's head squeezed by a door when she was little?
"From then on, we became strangers!"
Chen Yubing grew more agitated as she spoke. "Whenever I found an opportunity, I'd get revenge on her. Who knew that when we started working, she'd also come to work at Yan University! And her department is closely related to mine; she always holds up my procedures."
She took a deep breath, her tone laced with helplessness and complaint. "So, we often clash... You just happened to get caught in the middle this time..."
Lu Xuan almost burst out laughing after hearing her "heartfelt" explanation.
Good heavens, he had gone through all this trouble, threatening and filming videos, only to find out it was all because these two women had a grudge over a doll! He had innocently become collateral damage!
He was torn between laughter and tears, and found it somewhat absurd.
He pinched Chen Yubing's chin, forcing her to look up at him, his tone playful and punitive. "You little bitch, you really know how to cause trouble for people."
Chen Yubing's cheeks flushed slightly as he held her chin, but her eyes were so alluring they seemed to drip with charm.
She seemed to enjoy being controlled and mildly insulted by him, her lips pouting slightly as she softly replied, "Husband, everything you say is right, I'm just a little bitch~"
Lu Xuan looked at her, and that intense sense of contrast was triggered again.
One moment she was a high-and-mighty, unapproachable ice queen of a director, and the next she transformed into a submissive, charming little woman beneath him, even seeming to enjoy being insulted.
This extreme contrast brought an irresistible thrill.
He lowered his head and kissed Chen Yubing, a dominant and deep kiss, carrying a hint of punishment.
A few minutes later, Lu Xuan released her, his gaze flickering as he looked at her lips, slightly swollen from the prolonged kiss.
"Since you're all mine now, do you want me to help you vent some anger?"
Lu Xuan suddenly spoke, his voice tinged with temptation. "I'll get revenge for you! I'll help you deal with this Bai Yanxi."
Lu Xuan calculated in his mind: he would have to deal with Bai Yanxi sooner or later anyway, so he might as well go with the flow, make Chen Yubing happy first, and also utilize her as a "connection."
Chen Yubing's eyes widened when she heard Lu Xuan was going to help her get revenge on Bai Yanxi. They sparkled like stars, filled with surprise, disbelief, and even more, the complete surrender and anticipation of someone utterly conquered by Lu Xuan.
"Can you? Really?"
Her voice trembled, seeking cautious confirmation.
