Chapter 387: 387, deliberately annoying me
After a brief silence.
“I understand.” Shi Huan responded in her usual business-like tone, “Does Mr.
Chu have any other orders?”
“No.”
“Then I’ll go and prepare.”
Once the door closed, a mischievous smile played on Chu Xiuhuang’s lips.
Secretary Shi dressing in a skirt?
Well, why do I suddenly look forward to it?

Tonight, there’s a jewelry exhibition banquet on the second floor of Huashang Hotel.
in such events, men usually showed off their riches while women competed in beauty and charm.
In the past, Chu Xiuhuang would always bring a female companion to such events, be it an internet celebrity, a model, a female star, or a socialite.
Born into nobility and blessed with handsome features, Chu Xiuhuang always made a showy appearance, capturing everyone’s attention and flooding Weibo and gossip forums the next day.
But today-
in the car heading to the hotel, Chu Xiuhuang, sitting in the passenger seat, looked at Shi Huan sitting beside him with a look of distaste.
He asked her to change into a skirt.
True, she did, but she chose a black A-line skirt that matched her black suit. The skirt’s length reached her knees and was impermeable, making her look old-fashioned.
What’s worse, she wore thick black stockings underneath.
Is this…
any different?
Did she not just substitute trousers for a skirt?
Therefore…
“Secretary Shi, are you really so fond of the color black?” Chu Xiuhuang asked, genuinely curious and raising an eyebrow.
She wore black suits year-round, and most of her other clothes were also black. Shouldn’t a girl her age like dressing up like Mo Weiyi, prefer brightly coloured, flashy clothes?
“Black is versatile.” Shi Huan’s reply was straightforward.
Chu Xiuhuang:”…”
After a while.
“Secretary Shi, take off your socks later.”
“…” Shi Huan quickly glanced at her boss beside her, “Mr. Chu, the temperature in Nancheng drops to minus one degree after 6 o’clock.”
Chu Xiuhuang’s mouth twitched, “The banquet is indoors, what are you afraid of cold for?”
Shi Huan frowned, “Taking them off and putting them back on is troublesome
and can easily cause a cold.”
Chu Xiuhuang felt like hitting someone, “When I tell you to take them off, just do it. Where does all this nonsense come from? Are you deliberately trying to provoke me?”
Shi Huan: “…Okay.”
Chu Xiuhuang clenched his fists out of frustration.
How could she be so verbose?
Are other people’s secretaries also this annoying?
A boss annoyed by his secretary?
Or has he been spoiling her too much over the years?
Upon this thought, Chu Xiuhuang’s face turned serious, his voice more stern and cold, “Secretary Shi, I don’t want to repeat myself a third time when I speak. You must do whatever I ask, understand?”
“I understand.”
Her obedient answer finally made Chu Xiuhuang feel a little better.

Upon reaching Huashang Hotel, Shi Huan parked the car in the VIP parking spot, “Mr. Chu, you go in first, I’m going to the restroom to take off my socks.” “Why bother going that far! Just take them off right here!
Shi Huan was taken aback, “Here?”
“I don’t like waiting for women. You take them off here, and we 11 go in
together once you’re done.”
“But…”
“It’s just a pair of socks, not anything else.” Saying so, Chu Xiuhuang’s handsome face broke into his habitual wicked grin, “What’s the matter, Little Huanhuan, are you shy?”
Shi Huan didn’t think she had anything to be shy about, so she casually said,
“In that case, it’s bothering Mr. Chu to close his eyes.”
“I won’t!” Chu Xiuhuang refused outright.
Shi Huan:
She looked at him, through the thick lenses, his eyes were clear and bright,
with a hint of incomprehension.
In the end, it was Chu Xiuhuang who compromised.
“Fine.”
He turned his face towards the window. “This should be enough, right? Did you know that you are the first woman in this world who doesn’t even let me look at her in front of me! So many women have stripped their clothes off, begging me to look, I don’t even give a damn about them, but you, heh.’
“Thankyou, Mr. Chu.” Shi Huan arched her brow sarcastically. Seeing him turn his face away, she immediately started.
At this moment, she was very glad for her summer office attire. She was wearing real stockings under her dress, not pantyhose.
Otherwise, she would rather die than perform this kind of act in the car.
She bowed her head, trying not to lift her dress, pulling the stocking on her left leg down to her knee from under her dress first, and then doing the same to the stocking on her right leg.
Then she bent over, took off the two shoes on her feet, lifted her legs, and took off the two stockings completely, one after the other.
Her heart was undistracted, but she didn’t know that Chu Xiuhuang, although his face was turned away, watched her from start to finish through the rear- view mirror.
He initially thought Secretary Shi was overly conservative, even making such a fuss over removing her stockings, asking him to close his eyes, as if afraid that he would see something indecent?
Only when he realized that the angle of the rear-view mirror on the right was not adjusted properly, he could see the woman’s movements from his position…
Chu Xiuhuang smirked and shamelessly watched.
He watched the woman carefully pull her black stockings from under her skirt, bit by bit.
Especially in the end, she lifted her leg, under her black dress, her calf was bent-
Straight, slender, beautifully proportioned, even her kneecaps looked delicate and beautiful, under the bright car lights, her legs looked white… it was slightly dazzling.
After her legs were returned to their position, Shi Huan rolled up her stockings and put them in her bag. She then fixed her skirt and calmly said, “All done, Mr. Chu. We can go now.”
But Chu Xiuhuang didn’t move.
Shi Huan frowned, “Mr. Chu?”
Following his line of sight out the window, she thought there might be a beautiful woman passing by that caught his attention, but instead…
“Get out of the car first and go wait for me inside.” Chu Xiuhuang’s voice finally sounded, but he sounded like he suddenly had a cold, his voice was hoarse. Shi Huan furrowed her eyebrows even more, “Mr. Chu, what’s wrong?
Chu Xiuhuang, with his face still turned to the side, said, “Wait for me in the banquet hall on the second floor.”
II II
Despite the confusion… Thinking of what Chu Xiuhuang had said earlier, not wishing to repeat himself a third time…
Shi Huan nodded, “Mr. Chu, I will go wait for you.”
Having said that, she immediately got out of the car.
Chu Xiuhuang remained seated in the same position, his head only turned after she had gotten out of the car, his eagle-like gaze following her slender figure through the car window.
Night fell, with the first lights of the evening shining.
The men and women coming and going on the first floor were all dressed up to attend the banquet.
Men in suits, women in magnificent dresses, and then there was her, in a simple and conservative black suit, with shoulder-length hair.
Perhaps because it was cold, after a few steps, she started to run.
“Damn!”
Chu Xiuhuang abruptly cursed.
His slender eyes were filled with shock and regret.
What the hell!
What is happening to him? Why again…
Chu Xiuhuang suddenly fell into an unprecedented confusion.

Second floor, banquet hall.
Shi Huan entered the hall and took a look, then walked towards the sofa area in the corner.
She was planning to wait for Chu Xiuhuang quietly, and then accompany him for the banquet. However…
“Shi Huan?”
Shi Huan looked up and saw the newcomer. She had to stand up. “Ms. Chu.” Chu Jingyi was wearing a red evening gown that accentuates her figure. She raised her hand and put them together, her meticulously made-up face was cold, “So tonight, are you once again ‘filling in’ as my brother’s date?
She emphasized the words ‘filling in’.
Shi Huan nodded indifferently, “Yes.”
“Shi Huan, how many times do I have to tell you? You can’t be that dense, can you?”
There was no one else in the sofa area. Chu Jingyi spoke without sugar-coating, “My brother only felt sorry for you back then, which was why he allowed you, a high school dropout, to work with him. Over the years, he has done more than enough for you and the Shi family. If you leave now and go to any other company, I guarantee your income would not be lower than it is at Huangyou, it might even be higher.”
“Ms. Chu, you have misunderstood,” Shi Huan’s voice was calm and undisturbed, “I have worked at Huangyou for five years and I’m accustomed to it. As long as Mr. Chu doesn’t fire me, I don’t see a reason to quit.”
“So you want to cling to my brother?” Chu Jingyi sneered, her eyes filled with contempt and disdain. “You used to be so secretive. Ever since I returned to Nancheng, tell me, how many times have you tried to get in touch with our Chu family?”
