On the early monday morning, the sky was bright and Li Suimo groggily turned off her last alarm clock.

She struggled for a while before getting out of bed.

She had become increasingly lazy living alone, it was easy and comfortable, unlike before when she used to have trouble sleeping.

She didn't even dream last night.

If she could change the direction of the plot, she would not have to be engaged to Qin Zhan and could enjoy the life of a wealthy heiress, traveling every day and shopping at all times, buying things when happy and buying things when angry.

Li Suimo shook off her thoughts and straightened her shoulders.

She put on stunning makeup and was ready to perform in today's play. As the saying goes, do your makeup well and do the play well!

She regained her composure, brushing away the gloom of the past few days.

Her face was bright and beautiful enough to walk on the red carpet.

Qin Zhan and Gu Linxi returned to the company with dark circles under their eyes.

They had worked overnight to make up for the loss of the project.

Qin Zhan led the team to go abroad and spent less than four days to contact the new project manager and successfully secured the project.

At the same time, he also developed a subtle revolutionary relationship with Gu Linxi, who had been with him all the time.

Upon returning from his business trip, Qin Zhan's first order of business was to gather the department heads for a meeting.

Gu Linxi, with dark circles under her eyes, glanced at the girl sitting by the window.

She was gorgeous, with exquisite features and a gentle smile.

Last night, when they worked overtime, her hair was loose, but Qin Zhan had combed it for her, and there was an ambiguous atmosphere between them.

Gu Linxi knew this feeling was inappropriate, but emotions were inexplicable.

She held her coffee cup and returned to her desk.

"Hey, you, can you help me with my coffee?" Li Suimo casually greeted Gu Linxi.

Gu Linxi frowned.

"This dress? Qin Zhan gave it to me when he was 18. It's nice, isn't it?"

Li Suimo's voice was as crisp as a jingle, very pleasant to the ear.

Several people surrounded Li Suimo, eager to please her.

When they saw Gu Linxi, they all waited to see the excitement!

"He has given me many gifts."

Gu Linxi walked over and took Li Suimo's coffee cup, then turned and went to the pantry.

There was a mirror in the pantry, and she saw her haggard face.

Her mind was heavy, and her eyes were shrouded in fog, not as clear as Li Suimo's.

Gu Linxi took out a lipstick from her bag, twisted it open, and applied it to her lips.

She admired herself in the mirror for a while before going to get Li Suimo's coffee.

The coffee in the pantry could be adjusted for temperature, but she took a hot cup and went back to her desk.

On the way back, Li Suimo's laughter became more piercing.

"Mr. Qin just secured a big project! He's really amazing. One of you is talented, and the other is beautiful! You two are a perfect match!"

Someone asked, "When are you and Mr. Qin going to get engaged?"

"Oh, dear," Li Suimo blushed and giggled, "soon, soon. I'll invite you all for drinks when it happens!"

Gu Linxi walked over and handed her the coffee.

The edge of the cup was scorching hot, and Li Suimo held it like a branding iron.

She opened her mouth and said, "It's a bit hot, could you help me hold it?"

Gu Linxi pursed her lips and took the cup.

Li Suimo handed it to her, but halfway through, she loosened her grip, and the coffee cup tilted over, spilling the coffee in an instant!.

"Ah!" The hot coffee poured onto her hem. "It's hot!"

The HR manager was frightened. "Gu Linxi, are you okay?"

There was immediately a commotion on the scene.

The door to the meeting room was pushed open, and people who were in the meeting began to come out one after another.

Qin Zhan walked in front and was reporting work to Qin Qing in a low voice as he walked towards the office.

"Slap!"

Everyone's attention was drawn over here.

There was a crisp sound of a palm hitting flesh.

Li Suimo shook her aching hand and sneered, "You gave me a hot coffee? If I hadn't reacted quickly, wouldn't the coffee have spilled on me today?"

The HR manager watched as the spilled coffee still emitted steam in the hot summer air, and drinking such a hot coffee was indeed...

The burn on the back of her hand was severe, and her clothes were also a mess.

Gu Linxi became increasingly embarrassed.

Li Suimo was afraid that her body would faint like a floating duckweed the next second.

"I didn't mean to. How much did your dress cost?" Gu Linxi asked.

She was already haggard today, and her complexion was even worse now.

She gritted her teeth and barely stood up straight to maintain her composure. "I'm sorry."

Li Suimo sneered, pulled her stained dress and chest flap, and coldly opened Gu Linxi's hand. "Can you afford to pay for this dress?"

"I'm sorry."

Li Suimo pulled out a chair, stood up, and faced Gu Linxi. "You should apologize! Gu Linxi, I will repay the revenge you calculated against me!"

Gu Linxi looked at her. "I don't understand what you mean?"

"Oh, it doesn't matter. I don't need a reason to mess with you," Li Suimo casually said.

The HR manager and a few employees were watching the scene, looking at Li Suimo and thinking that she was indeed arrogant and unreasonable.

Gu Linxi frowned. "How much is the dress? I'll compensate you for it."

Li Suimo tilted her head and smiled innocently. "Do you think I'm short of money? Just go buy a new one. It's not hard to buy."

Gu Linxi bit her lip, and Li Suimo patted her shoulder generously. "Gu Linxi, it's not hard to buy clothes. You can do it!"

The HR manager was surprised. How could they send Gu Linxi to buy clothes? She usually wears women's clothing that costs only a few dozen yuan per piece.

Where would she buy clothes?

"The male lead will help you," Li Suimo grinned and watched as Qin Zhan strode over, grabbing Gu Linxi's wrist.

Her hand was badly burned, with blisters of different sizes on the back of her hand.

Qin Zhan glared at her.

"Are you shouting at me, Qin Zhan?" Li Suimo's face turned pale.

Whispers spread around them. "The original wife can't even compete with the mistress."

"Tsk tsk, Gu Linxi has turned out like this..."

Gu Linxi was stung by their words and pulled her wrist out of Qin Zhan's grip. "Mr. Qin..."

"Third party!" Li Suimo exclaimed.

"Momo, you..." Qin Zhan raised his hand to strike.

Li Suimo felt the sickly sweet taste rising in her chest.

She was ready, but she didn't want to take this slap today.

She dodged, and at the same time, someone intercepted Qin Zhan's falling hand.

"Zhan'er!" Qin Qing's voice was angry.

In an instant, Li Suimo slapped Qin Zhan's left cheek!

She used all her strength, but her hand was small, leaving only a palm print on Qin Zhan's gentle face!

You two, one slap each. Consider it compensation for the original owner!

Gu Linxi was stunned.

Li Suimo laughed, "My head is so green and shiny!"

Qin Zhan's face suddenly turned black.

Li Suimo had a hint of red on her lips.

She couldn't do it!

She couldn't tolerate being controlled by an imaginary book!

Gu Linxi served a cup of hot coffee.

In the original book, the whole cup was spilled on the original owner. How embarrassed must she have been?

She smiled bitterly.

Li Suimo laughed, "Don't you feel sorry for her? Look at all those blisters on her hand, she might even have scars."

In a hurry, Qin Zhan took the person away to deal with the injury, and Zhou Kai drove away a group of people who were just there for the show.

Qin Qing asked, "Was it fun?"

Li Suimo pulled the corner of her mouth and stood at a safe distance, "If you want to scold me for hitting your brother, go ahead! If you hit me, I'll run!"

Qin Qing laughed, "Your dress is dirty, let's go."

"..."

Wasn't she going to hit her? And she didn't even scold her?

Has Qin Qing's character changed?!!

Translator's note: Yeah!, Seducing her is effective! 😂
