She was fired after she refused to be the CEO's dog licker.

Although the noise was small, it was very clear in the quiet study. The blood in my body froze at this moment, but my body's reaction was faster than that of my brain.

I quickly removed my hand from the safe door and turned around, walking towards the door.

I walked with my head down, I didn't even glance towards the door, my steps were hurried, and I called Jiang Yin: "Ah Yin, wait for me, what delicious dessert made you so greedy that you forgot about me here..."

I was gambling, gambling that my actions had not been discovered, gambling that my thoughts had not been noticed. Anyway, I hadn't done anything yet, and Jiang Yin and Zhou Pinzhi had only been out for a while. There was still time. I pretended to be left behind by them and chased after them. This would be very natural.

I walked halfway when I raised my head slightly and looked towards the door calmly.

I can't always walk with my head down, that would be unnatural, I have to act normal to better avoid suspicion.

However, the moment my eyes fell on the door, my steps paused.

It's Zhou Hanzhi.

The person standing at the door of the study was Zhou Hanzhi. The one who had just knocked on the door with his knuckles should have been him, and only him.

He was the one who scared me just now!

I wasted so much time!

If I hadn't been frightened by his knock on the door just now, I would have taken the small black box out of the safe and checked the contents carefully.

Thinking of this, I immediately turned around and rushed towards the safe.

Now Zhou Han is the only one at the door, so I'm not worried that he will tell others what I did. Besides, he's standing at the door just to keep watch for me, so of course I have to hurry up and do what I didn't do just now.

I would deeply regret missing this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.

However, just as I turned around, I suddenly heard footsteps coming from behind me, and a long, strong arm grabbed me around the waist. I could no longer move forward, and my body fell into a large, strong embrace and was dragged backwards.

"Zhou Hanzhi, let me go!" My feet suddenly left the ground while I was sprinting. My head was dizzy for a moment, and then I suddenly realized that Zhou Hanzhi was hugging me and taking me out!

He's stopping me!

But how could I give up? I had finally waited until today, and today was so smooth. I successfully entered the study and even saw the little black box. If I just did one more thing, maybe it would take less than a minute, and I would be able to get what I wanted and complete my plan.

At such a critical moment, Zhou Hanzhi actually stopped me!

But Zhou Hanzhi seemed not to hear my protest. He remained silent, but held me more firmly and forcefully as he walked towards the study door.

I was going crazy. I slapped Zhou Hanzhi's arms with my hands, pried his fingers apart, and kicked my legs in the air. But I didn't dare to make my voice too loud. I could only raise my voice and demand again, "Zhou Hanzhi, put me down quickly!"

Maybe it was because I was moving too much, or maybe it was because Zhou Hanzhi had been seriously ill recently and his strength was not as strong as before, after all my efforts, he finally put me on the ground.

As soon as I relaxed, I rushed towards the safe.

"Don't go!" Although Zhou Hanzhi put me on the ground, he held my wrist tightly and refused to let me go. His tone was low and full of deep warning.

I was extremely anxious.

Who said I can’t go? This is such a great opportunity. Whoever stops me will be my enemy!

Even if this person is Zhou Hanzhi, it would be the same.

Unable to pry his hands open, I simply lowered my head and bit the back of his hand, hard.

"Hiss." Above his head, Zhou Hanzhi took a breath of cold air and groaned, "You actually bit me, are you a dog, Meng Nanxu!"

Even though I bit me, Zhou Hanzhi had no intention of letting me go. He pulled me back into his arms with force, pressed me against the door of the study, and kissed me condescendingly.

He had ruined my chance, stopped me from doing what I wanted to do, and now was kissing me.

At this moment, I was not only impatient, but also angry. I reached out to push him, and even kicked his legs, but I couldn't stop him from pressing down on my lips.

The familiar, crisp woody scent that belonged only to Zhou Hanzhi, and a slightly tipsy smell of alcohol, mixed together and enveloped me.

If I hadn't seen it with my own eyes, I really would never have believed that there were such shameless people in the world. Zhou Hanzhi really made me angry to the extreme.

He made his attitude clear several times, saying that we were just in a working relationship as an investor and a project manager. He was even indifferent and distant to me, and was so polite as if we had never had any private interactions. But at this time, he held me tightly and refused to let go. He took advantage of the alcohol and pressed me here to kiss me forcefully.

So he delayed my work just for his own selfish desires!

I became more and more irritated and annoyed, and I just hated myself for being too weak and having no strength. If I had known earlier, I should have learned boxing and Sanda or something like that, then I could have kicked this scoundrel away.

However, at the moment when Zhou Hanzhi kissed me, I suddenly caught a glimpse of a figure out of the corner of my eye.

My blood was boiling just now and I wanted to smash Zhou Hanzhi's head into pieces, but at this moment, I suddenly came to my senses and the blood that had rushed to my head slowly retreated.

I saw clearly that it was the figure of a servant, the maid who had just appeared at the study door and asked Zhou Pinzhi and Jiang Yin to go downstairs. Zhou Pinzhi and Jiang Yin had already left the study, but the maid was still on the second floor and had not gone down yet.

Then why is she still here? Even if Zhou Pinzhi and Jiang Yin were walking too fast and she was walking a little slower, she should have been downstairs by now. Why is she still upstairs? Is she...

My mind became clearer and clearer, and some of my doubts were answered at this moment.

So the reason why Zhou Hanzhi tried every means to stop me from rummaging through the safe, even pulling me back despite being bitten by me, and pressing me against the door to forcefully kiss me, was not because he was drunk and crazy, but because he had sensed the danger.

"Did you see it clearly?" At this moment, Zhou Hanzhi's lips moved from my lips to my ears. His low, drunken whisper fell into my ear, and the wisps of hot air he blew made my whole body numb.

My heart was in a trance, and an indescribable emotion surged up, hitting me and engulfing me.

Zhou Hanzhi, he did it not for his own selfish desires, but to save me.

Zhou Hanzhi's low reminder sounded in my ears again: "Hit me."

what?

I heard his words clearly, but I didn't understand his intention.

He reminded me again: "Slap me and quarrel with me."
