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

Zhou Hanzhi is really sharp and can guess most of what I'm thinking. In front of him, I feel more and more that I have no secrets at all and he can see through me completely.

But, since he guessed that I did it to deceive Zhou Pinzhi and avoid Yan Dong’s entanglement, why couldn’t he guess that the reason I pretended to be a couple with Xiao Ye was also to avoid him?

I don't want to continue to be entangled with him. It's very dangerous. It will affect the implementation of my plans and also affect my mood.

I couldn't hold it in any longer, avoiding Zhou Hanzhi's dark and sharp eyes, holding the hot towel tightly with my fingers, but my tone was still firm: "No, Xiaoye and I are not acting, we really like each other and we are really together."

"You're lying!" Zhou Hanzhi's tone was urgent and heavy. He seemed to be unable to control his emotions. He took another step closer to me and raised his voice, "Meng Nanxu, you're lying. You can't possibly like him!"

The space in this bathroom is still too small. I took two steps back and I had nowhere to retreat. Zhou Hanzhi forced me onto the sink.

I tried my best to lean back, but still couldn't avoid the angry Zhou Hanzhi.

"You told me that you only treat him as your younger brother. You said that you don't like him and won't force your way into the Yuan family..." Zhou Hanzhi's emotions seemed to be even more out of control.

The distance between him and me was almost zero, but his body was still pressing forward. I couldn't hold on any longer and finally exploded, interrupting him in a hurry: "Just because I didn't like him before doesn't mean I don't like him now!"

Zhou Hanzhi was stunned. He finally stopped advancing, and I had a chance to catch my breath.

"Before, I did treat Xiaoye as my younger brother and thought that I might not be with him. Even when I was treated to a No. 1 red wine by the old man, I had no idea. But later it was different. Xiaoye treated me very well, cared about me and loved me. More importantly, he only had me in his heart. I was moved by him and fell in love with him. I didn't want to treat him as my younger brother, I wanted to treat him as my boyfriend. We are both single and unmarried young people, free and equal, so why can't we be together?" I stared into Zhou Hanzhi's eyes and continued.

It was not until this moment that I realized one thing: why did I feel so guilty towards Zhou Hanzhi?

Who I like, who I am with, who I choose as my boyfriend, what does it have to do with him? He is not anyone to me, why do you question me like this? And even accuse me?

Isn’t Zhou Hanzhi still together with Lin Xixi, loving and sweet, a perfect couple?

Why did he block me in the restroom and accuse me of not keeping my word with red eyes?

While I was speaking with confidence, I quietly moved my body away, escaping from the predicament of being forced and suppressed by Zhou Hanzhi.

Zhou Hanzhi's lips were tense. He seemed to be choked by my question. He was silent for a long time. After a while, he spoke: "Is it because of me? Because I am not a free man, so you don't want to wait for me, and you want to run away with someone else?"

"What?" I didn't expect Zhou Hanzhi to suddenly say something like that. Now it was my turn to be stunned.

"Xuxu, don't run, wait for me." Zhou Hanzhi held my wrist, and pleaded in an urgent tone, "Hubby will be able to take care of everything soon, don't be with others, wait for husband, okay?"

"Wait?" I paused in my quietly moving steps and stared at Zhou Hanzhi for a long time, trying to see his true intentions and thoughts from his dark, auspicious eyes.

But I was so confused that I couldn't see anything. I could only force myself to calm down, then sneered and said, "Boss Zhou didn't drink tonight, why is your head confused? Boss Zhou and I are just work friends, I'm not your mistress, why are you telling me all this? Why should I wait for Boss Zhou? I am more happy than anyone else to see Boss Zhou and Manager Lin's sweet love, I don't want to and don't want to get involved in your relationship."

"Xuxu! You are not a mistress!" Maybe my smile was a little cold and a little crazy, which irritated Zhou Hanzhi. He suddenly interrupted me and emphasized.

I raised the corners of my lips, smiled and nodded: "Yes, I am not anyone's mistress, I am Yuan Tianye's girlfriend, openly and honestly, the one and only."

Zhou Hanzhi suddenly stopped.

"Mr. Zhou, thank you for coming to celebrate for Xiao Ye and me today. But if you don't have anything else, please move aside. I have to go take care of my boyfriend." I dodged his body, walked around him, and walked straight to the bathroom door.

I also have to wipe Ono's face.

However, just as Zhou Hanzhi and I passed by, someone grabbed my arm, and then my body was pulled into a broad embrace.

The man's breathing was rapid, and his crisp breath hit my ears. I heard Zhou Hanzhi's fierce and low voice: "No, I don't allow it! I don't allow you to have another boyfriend!"

I was caught off guard and bumped into Zhou Hanzhi's shoulder, and my head felt dizzy.

"Why!" But the moment I heard Zhou Hanzhi's words clearly, I was instantly annoyed, "Why don't you allow it!"

"Just because I'm your husband!" Zhou Hanzhi moved again.

He kicked the bathroom door shut and pressed my shoulders against it. I felt my back pressed against the bathroom door and his fierce and powerful kiss pressed down on me.

That familiar cool breath enveloped me again.

There was no smell of alcohol or tobacco, only his unique scent and taste, a scent that I could never resist, which softened me and made me lost the moment my lips touched his...

I hate myself for not having any perseverance. I am always easily defeated by him. I hate that every time I make up my mind, he pulls me back to the starting point again.

Entanglement, confusion, loss of control, and growing obsession.

"Boom boom boom!"

At this moment, there was a knock on the door.

It wasn't the knock on the bathroom door, but the knock on the door outside the lounge.

The knock on the door woke me up instantly. I hurriedly pushed Zhou Hanzhi away, and I heard voices outside the door.

"Madam, are you looking for Miss Meng?" Zeng Zhi's voice was very polite. "It seems she went downstairs and is not here."

"Isn't she here?" Mrs. Zhang Si was a little surprised, but she smiled and said, "Then I'll wait for her here and check on Xiao Ye's situation."

"...Okay." Zeng Zhi's voice paused obviously, but he still agreed.

The door opened.

The moment Mrs. Zhang Si walked in, I quickly walked out of the bathroom.

"Hey, Xuxu, so you're here. Why did Assistant Zeng say you were out just now?" Mrs. Zhang Si looked surprised when she saw me.

"Yes, I'm here." I immediately waved the towel in my hand and replied with a smile, "I just went to the bathroom to iron the towel."

"So that's how it is." Mrs. Zhang Si nodded, but her eyes looked towards the bathroom.
