"Beast, playing hooky again, do you still want to live?" Ouyang Xiaoya's voice came out furious through the phone.

"CEO, I'm on my way back now, heading back right now!" Lin Hai hurriedly spoke with a placating smile, as if Ouyang Xiaoya on the other end could see him.

"Hmph, you beast, don't show that sleazy smile of yours."

"Eh? When did this shoddy brick phone of mine start having a camera?" Lin Hai was utterly puzzled.

"I have lived with you long enough, President Ouyang, I have completely grasped your habits; just by seeing you lift your leg, I know exactly what you are up to."

"Brilliant, CEO, are you in a hurry to summon me for a massage? Or craving for the noodles I cook?" Lin Hai joked.

On the other end of the phone, Ouyang Xiaoya was fuming, an urgent matter had come up at the company, yet this damned beast was still fooling around, absolutely infuriating.

"If you can't make it back within ten minutes, wait to be fired, pack your stuff, and get lost."

Her tone was like eternal ice, so cold that even through the phone, Lin Hai could feel the frostiness on CEO's pretty face.

Having dealt with the CEO this long, Lin Hai immediately realized Ouyang Xiaoya must have something very serious for which she needed him, otherwise, she would not use such a serious tone.

That resolute attitude left no doubt that if he did not return within ten minutes, Ouyang Xiaoya would definitely fire him.

"CEO, I just had a bit of personal business, it's resolved now. I'm heading back immediately, please don't be upset."

Lin Hai then hung up the call proactively and sped towards the company in his Maybach.

Before long, Lin Hai scampered into Ouyang Xiaoya's office without even knocking on the door, rushing in.

"Whew, CEO, I'm back."

Inside the office, Ouyang Xiaoya, dressed in a CEO uniform, stood by the floor-to-ceiling windows, hands crossed, looking down below.

Hearing Lin Hai's voice, she raised her jade arm, glanced at her Patek Philippe luxury watch, nodded slightly, and said indifferently, "Nine minutes and thirty-seven seconds, you don't have to be fired."

Lin Hai frowned; at this moment, he could see clearly, there was another person in the office besides him—Wang Muxin.

Instantly, Lin Hai felt extremely nervous, could it be that the CEO knew about his affair with Wang Muxin?

Thinking that Liu Piaopiao seemed to be monitoring him recently, could it be that she dug up some explosive news and reported it to the CEO?

Feeling the deadly cold and stern air emanating from Ouyang Xiaoya, and seeing Wang Muxin's pale, beautiful forehead sweating, her nervous demeanor, all these details coming together made Lin Hai instantly want to bang his head against the wall and die.

"It's over, it's completely over, given Xiaoya's character and temper, not fighting with me outright could only mean she is fiercely suppressing her anger, and once it explodes... the consequences are unimaginable," Lin Hai thought, feeling extremely anxious.

Ouyang Xiaoya slowly turned around, each movement carrying the dominant aura of a fierce female CEO.

Where her gaze fell, Lin Hai faced her, his heart almost leaping to his throat.

"Right now, I am fiercely suppressing my inner rage!" Ouyang Xiaoya's voice was cold and clear.

"Just as I thought!" Lin Hai's heart sank.

Having said that, Ouyang Xiaoya then turned to look at Wang Muxin.

Feeling the strong gaze of the dominant CEO, Wang Muxin hurriedly lowered her head, didn't dare to make eye contact, her hands placed nervously by her feet.

"It's done for, totally done for, my lifetime of wisdom is about to be destroyed!" Lin Hai wished he could just bang his head and die.

"Lin Hai, you are aware of the matter, right?" Ouyang Xiaoya spoke indifferently.

Lin Hai dryly and weakly nodded, didn't dare to make a sound, his mind racing on how to possibly ease Xiaoya's heartbreak.

After all, Lin Hai couldn't bear to hurt the heart of a woman who once loved him. At this moment, he felt lower than a beast.

Love wounds, affection harms.

He engaged in acts with another woman because of emotions, and as those events unfolded, love gradually grew. Regardless of whether this love is normal or socially acceptable, love, after all, is still love, alas.

"Director Muxin, you know about it too, right?" Ouyang Xiaoya asked coldly.

Wang Muxin bit her red lips, hastily nodded, and whispered, "I'm sorry, President."

With a loud bang—

Ouyang Xiaoya, unable to contain her anger, slammed her hand on the table. The impact caused the small teacup that Lin Hai first picked up when he entered the CEO's office to fall to the ground and shatter.

"This CEO never thought such a thing could happen, it's utterly unforgivable!"

Her tone was filled with rage, an uncontrollable fury!

At this moment, Xiaoya's pretty face was full of anger, her small fists clenched tightly creaking, her beautiful shoulders visibly shaking, her chest heaving dramatically.

The fact that such a composed young woman was consumed by such rage made Lin Hai wish he could end himself before her.

Wang Muxin was so frightened that she trembled and could hardly stand.

Lin Hai was so ashamed he almost wanted to bury his head inside his pants.

Ouyang Xiaoya's face showed disappointment and frustration, her teeth almost clenched to the breaking point, her complexion ashen.

Taking a deep breath, Lin Hai finally mustered the courage. At this point, he knew he had only himself to blame. He had made a mistake and must have the courage to accept all consequences, even if they were unbearable.

"CEO, don't be angry, everything is my fault. At this point, there are some things I must say," Lin Hai said, eyes closed, not daring to look at Xiaoya.

"Speak!"

"CEO, it's my fault, I'm not a good man."

"At this moment, all I want to say is, please don't be angry."

"Since this has happened, it's destined that I must take the blame."

"But your health is important. No matter what, I hope you won't be heartbroken because of this."

"I'm sorry, CEO. If you feel it's not enough, you can kill me, I accept it."

After finishing, Lin Hai lifted his head, stretched his neck, a look of readiness for death on his face.

Wang Muxin, biting her red lips, quickly added, "President Ouyang, I'm sorry, it's my fault, everything is my fault, Director Lin has nothing to do with this. Please deal with me, but please don't fire Director Lin, he is actually innocent."

Lin Hai was deeply moved. In adversity, true feelings are revealed. He was not wrong to prepare to avenge Wang Muxin.

Unfortunately, such good girls are destined to part ways with him today, and it hurts his heart.

"President, it's not Director Muxin's fault, it's my fault, let this man bear all consequences! If you're not satisfied, beat me to death, cripple me, I accept it. Just please, don't hit the face, and don't castrate me," Lin Hai said again.

After speaking, Lin Hai closed his eyes and awaited death.

Ouyang Xiaoya gritted her teeth, "You two right now really seem like a couple."

"The company has a major financial issue, responsibility needs to be investigated, but it's not to the extent of killing you."

"Ah?" Lin Hai's eyes widened, completely off-topic.
