Passionate Devotion

Chapter 33

My Brother-in-Law is a Super Effective All-Purpose Medicine

Like a startled bird, Tong Lu quickly took a few steps back and hid behind the wall near the stairway.

It was strange. She thought that she was definitely paranoid. How did Leng Yejin possibly find out that she was standing right here?

She let out a sigh of relief and looked down at the plaza. She kept searching for Leng Yejin in the crowd, but she could no longer find him.

When she recalled that she had woken up in her brother-in-law’s arms, her cheeks became awfully warm. ‘What should I do? If other people find out about this, they would certainly despise me. Have I been an unchaste woman?’

Tong Lu was quite frustrated. Leng Yejin was engaged to another woman. Perhaps she should move out to avoid becoming the subject of gossip.

“Tong Lu, I heard from others that you got into a fight with someone and injured your face?”

“No. Where did you hear it from? Don’t you see that my face is alright?” Tong Lu flashed a relaxed smile. “The first rule we should obey as a volunteer is to serve our guests well and put them first. How could I possibly start a fight with someone?”

“True. By the way, I heard that Mr. President intends to select an outstanding college volunteer among us and hire that person to work as the administrative assistant at the president’s office. If I could work at the most powerful office in the country, I would have no more regrets in life.”

There was a wishful look in Tong Lu’s eyes. “It’s not that easy to get a job at the president’s office. There are two-thousand-and-five-hundred college volunteers in total. One out of two thousand and five hundred. It’s even harder than the college entrance exam.”

“You’re right. But who knows? Mr. President might notice one of us. We should work hard anyway.”

“Um, let’s work hard together.”

“Let’s work hard.”

Tong Lu perked up and resumed her work as a volunteer. She wondered how outstanding she had to be in order for Mr. President to notice her. She was quite tempted to ask her brother-in-law to get more information on that.

‘Never mind that.’ She had had drunken sex with her brother-in-law. She was too embarrassed to ever appear in front of him. She did not even know if he had secretly judged her. For some reason, Tong Lu was rather scared that her brother-in-law would see her as an unbearably shameless woman.

“Tong Lu, go to the VIP lounge on the fourth floor right now. A guest speaker asked for you and wants you to head over.”

A voice suddenly rang out from her walkie-talkie. She responded with a hum and started speaking to the person on the other end of the walkie-talkie while she walked away from the stairs. “Okay, I’m heading over right now. What’s the matter?”

“There could be a problem. Get over there and see if you can help. If you can’t solve the problem, let me know.”

“Alright.”

Tong Lu quickly rushed towards the VIP lounge on the fourth floor and knocked on the door. Someone pulled open the door for her. When Tong Lu saw that person, she was startled. Her first thought was, ‘Why is it Secretary Yu? Is the guest speaker who asked for me Leng Yejin?’

‘Seriously, why do I have to see him every time I try to avoid him?’

Leng Yejin was the only person other than Secretary Yu in the VIP lounge. He was sitting in front of the French window, leaning back in his chair. The morning sun shone into the room through the window and enveloped him in a halo of sunlight. Tong Lu walked over, stopped in front of him and gazed at his face. He was as stunning as a man could be. His long eyelashes cast a ring of shadow below his eyes. There was a cold aura around him, making him appear grim and unapproachable.

‘How could a man be so handsome even when he’s resting with his eyes shut?’

This man was genuinely the hottest of the hottest. She did not have the guts to complain about the s*x anymore. If one of them must take responsibility, it would be her, who appeared to have drunkenly taken advantage of someone out of her league.

“You’re here?” Leng Yejin did not even bother to open his eyes. He rapped the table with the tips of his long fingers and gave an order in an authoritative and bossy voice, “Read this out loud for me.”

Tong Lu was puzzled.

She picked up a script from the desktop. “Why do you want me to read this out loud?”

Secretary Yu walked over. “Young Master Jin says that my voice doesn’t sound good. Miss Tong, please do us a favor and read this out loud. Young Master Jin has to go onstage to give a speech later. But he hasn’t read the script yet. The young master says that he is exhausted today. He has no energy to read anything.”
