Chapter 7 The Lustful Dream that Lingered On

The early morning sun shone into the simple and elegant bedroom. The man frowned, opened his sleepy eyes, and realized that he actually... had a night of good sleep.

It had been a long time since he had been able to sleep so soundly that he actually only woke up when the sky was already bright.

Li Shaojue rubbed his temples. The dream from last night also flooded in. Without a doubt, he dreamed of that night five years ago. However, the one under him... Why did it turn out to be Gu Ruoyan who was wearing a medical uniform?

The indescribable pictures did not stop as he was shocked, clamoring at his senses.

The most terrible thing was... As his memories advanced, his private place actually quietly stood upright.

Li Shaojue's pair of eagle-like eyes stared wide open. He was stunned for ten seconds in disbelief. He lifted the quilt and did not even have time to put on his slippers. He rushed straight into the bathroom and turned on the tap.

A sound of water splash was heard –

The cold water drenched his entire body, and only then did Li Shaojue regain some of his consciousness. How was this possible? A woman he had only met once made the dignified President Li... have a lustful dream?

After the shower, everything was over. Li Shaojue swore that no second person would know about this!

However, the development of the situation far exceeded Li Shaojue's imagination.

From the morning meeting to reviewing documents in the office, Li Shaojue's mood had never calmed down. The woman's delicate body, her tender skin, and even... the body fragrance that entered his nose became clearer and clearer, causing Li Shaojue to have an impulse to find Gu Ruoyan.

It couldn't be!

President Li would never believe that he really had feelings for Gu Ruoyan. In this case, the remaining possibility could only be –

There must be something wrong with Gu Ruoyan. She was a psychologist. During yesterday's therapy time, she must have given himself some psychological hints to guide him to keep her in mind.

Moreover, when he thought about it carefully, Gu Ruoyan looked somewhat similar to Gu Moyan, and it was possible that she deliberately dressed up and even had plastic surgery to get close to him.

The more he thought about it, the more suspicious he became. Even the nervousness that Gu Ruoyan showed yesterday seemed to be playing hard to get. Sure enough, it turned out to be another woman who wanted to rise up to the upper class. Then he, Li Shaojue, absolutely could not let her succeed. He would never go to Gu Ruoyan.

Li Shaojue set a rule in his heart.

When he thought of this, his messy heart calmed down a little. Just as he picked up the document and was about to deal with it, a sweet female voice followed, "Shaojue, are you busy?"

Li Shaojue really wanted to reply coldly with a simple word of "Yep". He wanted her to leave quickly, but he suddenly remembered that last time, he had rejected Yanyan's initiative for the first time, and now he even had a lustful dream with another woman behind her back...

"It's fine." Li Shaojue forced a smile, but he could feel how stiff his smile was. "Come here."

When Gu Moyan saw Li Shaojue put down his work to accompany her, she was indescribably excited. Step by step, she walked to Li Shaojue's side and leaned close to him. Her body was about to sit on Li Shaojue's lap. "Shaojue, you've worked hard recently."

Li Shaojue originally did not want to refuse the woman who took the initiative to throw herself into his arms, but when Gu Moyan was about to touch his trousers, he suddenly felt a strong sense of disgust.

Then, his body reacted naturally. He exerted force with his feet, and the chair with pulley wheels moved backward, avoiding Gu Moyan's body.

With a plop, Gu Moyan fell to the ground. She looked at Li Shaojue in disbelief, "Shaojue... What happened to you?"

"Sorry." Li Shaojue didn't know what was wrong with him. The disgust that had just risen up was so strong that it crashed into his consciousness, and even his brain was not working.

He thought to himself, "That Gu Ruoyan, what kind of bewitching drug did she use to me?"

He frowned tightly, his entire body filled with hostility, but he forgot that Gu Moyan was still sitting on the ground.

Gu Moyan wanted to hide her embarrassment, but her face kept turning red and hot. She simply did not get up and just looked at Li Shaojue pitifully, "Shaojue, do you not like me anymore?"

"How could that be?" Li Shaojue slightly restrained his emotions, but his expression was still terrifyingly gloomy. He reached out to help Gu Moyan up, but the moment Gu Moyan wanted to hug him, he was distancing himself from her. "Yanyan, I have too much official work today. I might not be able to accompany you."

"Ah... I see." Gu Moyan lowered her head sadly, concealing the impatience in her eyes. She softly said, "It's fine. Shaojue, whenever you need me, just look for me. Now I'm leaving, I won't disturb you anymore."

"Alright." Seeing Gu Moyan being so sensible, Li Shaojue blamed himself even more. He did not want to hurt Gu Moyan anymore, so he quickly sent the woman out of the office.

After Gu Moyan left, Li Shaojue took a deep breath, but before he could breathe out, there was another knock on the door.

Then, Ji Chucheng appeared at the door with a face full of smiles.

"Old Li, are you still angry with me?" His smile was so flattering that the corners of his eyes and the corners of his mouth almost met. He took out a bottle of red wine from his back with his right hand and said, "To apologize to you, I even cheated out my old man's aged wine. How can you not appreciate it?"

"Thank you." Li Shaojue snorted coldly. He still did not have a good expression on his face.

"Alright, you're such a big man. Why are you still wasting your time on something like this?" Ji Chucheng said with disdain, but his actions were full of flattery. He grabbed Li Shaojue's shoulder and handed him the red wine, "I won't mention it anymore, okay?"

Li Shaojue glanced at him, took the wine, put it on the table, and turned to the cupboard to fetch two wine glasses.

"How is your father recently?"

"The doctor said that he can't drink anymore. Everything else is fine," Ji Chucheng said with a chuckle as he opened the bottle, his hands lightly trembling.

"You should spend more time with him." Li Shaojue sighed, "Also, shouldn't you consider taking over the Ji Family?"

"Then you worry too much." The corners of Ji Chucheng's mouth suddenly curved up. He laughed out loud and exerted force in his hands. The cork of the bottle was violently pulled open, and there was a snapping sound. "If I intend to take over the Ji Family, won't my father get angry and his sickness become even worse?"

Li Shaojue did not reply, nor did he look at Ji Chucheng. He only placed the two wine glasses in front of him and motioned for him to pour wine.

Perhaps Ji Chucheng's laughter just now was too loud, making the sudden silence even more abrupt.

After pouring two glasses of wine, the two men each had their own thoughts and no one said anything more. They drank half a bottle of a wine glass after glass.

"Well, you should also comfort me a little." Ji Chucheng couldn't stand the silence and looked at Li Shaojue with some resentment, "Why do I have to make you my friend? You always remain silent. When I'm in need, I can't count on you at all. You are often impatient for no reason."
