Su Qinglan was a top assistant in the Gu Group, one of the top companies in the country. However, she never expected that she also had to babysit the six-year-old son of the boss, who took charge of the whole Group. It was simply tiring to manage the company during the day and take care of the kid at night. "Woman, since you are really good at telling stories, I'll marry you when I grow up!" said the little boss. "But I have no interest in marrying a man so much younger than me," said Su Qinglan. "What about marrying me, a golden bachelor who has a son?" said the father of the little boss. Su Qinglan was speechless. Compared to marrying a kid, she would rather choose the father of the kid. "Well, she still needs to tell me bedtime stories anyway!" thought the little boss.
"Miss Su, your baby has been more than four months. Its limbs are healthy and Its heartbeat is strong. It is a well-developed baby. Are you sure you want to abort it?"
"Miss Su, the abortion surgery requires the father of the baby to sign the Consent Form."
"It has come out! It is a boy. It weighs seven and half pounds!"
"Miss Su, wake up! Oh no, doctor, the patient is bleeding. Give her emergency treatment immediately!"
"Beep, beep, beep."
A sense of extreme oppression and fear engulfed her entire body, and Su Qinglan once again fell into a nightmare.
She kept shaking her head and tightly gripped the sheets, her forehead also breaking out in cold sweat.
She knew it was only a nightmare, but she could not wake up and could only sink into the despair of the dream.
At this moment, there was a sudden knock on the door, accompanied by a youthful but mature voice, "Woman! How do you do your work! The boss has already woken up, and you are still in bed?"
This voice jolted Su Qinglan awake from her dream.
She gasped for breath and sat up from the bed. As expected, her head and neck were already drenched in cold sweat.
She touched her lower abdomen, which was tight and solid, smooth and delicate. She did not look like a person who gave birth to a baby. Moreover, she was still a virgin until now. She had never even been in love.
But why did she have this nightmare whenever her emotions were unstable?
"Woman! Did you hear that?" The sound of knocking came from outside the door again.
Su Qinglan shook her head and gave up the thoughts in her mind. She rubbed her hair and got out of bed to open the door.
Outside the door stood a little boy about five or six years old. He was dressed in a delicate and exquisite tuxedo. He was sharp-featured and had large black eyes, a high nose, and perfect lips. He looked at Su Qinglan with an angry expression.
"Little President Gu, it's only seven o'clock. It's not time to go to work yet." Su Qinglan looked at her phone and yawned helplessly.
Little President Gu snorted. "If I were overseas, I would have already gone to kindergarten at this time! You adults always say that you guys are working hard, but in fact, the ones working the hardest are us, children! You guys begin your work two hours later than us! No! From today onwards, all the employees of our Gu Corporation will have to work at seven!"
Su Qinglan's heart was filled with a million curses. After a long sigh, she reached out and rubbed Gu Yize's fluffy and soft hair. She whispered, "Stop messing around."
"I am now the Acting CEO of the Gu Corporation! I am the one in charge! Woman, you must listen to my orders!" Gu Yize arrogantly raised his delicate little face and gave orders.
Su Qinglan couldn't help but rub his hair and made it messy. Then, she squatted down and kissed his fair face several times.
"First, you are only the Acting CEO. The one who makes the decision is me. Second, don't call me Woman. Did you watch too many soap operas? You have to call me Assistant Su, understand?" Su Qinglan said solemnly.
Gu Yize touched his face and looked at Su Qinglan in disbelief. "You, a woman who wants to be my stepmother, actually kissed me. Are you trying to marry me because you saw my daddy faint?"
Su Qinglan was rendered speechless. Ah, she really wanted to open this little brat's head and see what was inside!
"First, the relationship between your daddy and I is purely superior and subordinate. I have no interest in being your stepmother. Second, I kissed you only for the smooth skin on your face. I don't want to marry you at all!" Su Qinglan explained slowly.
Gu Yize looked like he was in a mess. He was stunned for a long time before he came back to his senses and shouted, "Then, then you are discarding me after making use of me! Bad woman!"
Su Qinglan was speechless again. Oh, oh, this little brat even knew how to use idioms.
Children nowadays were too intelligent and knowledgeable. It was really not easy to fool them.
Helplessly, Su Qinglan decided to change the topic.
"Little President Gu, why did you wake me up so early?"
Gu Yize went off the topic with her. He raised his chin and coldly snorted, "The buns made by Aunty Wang taste strange. I don't like to drink things made of beans either. I want to eat a sandwich, but she said that the sandwiches were cold and didn't allow me to eat it."
Su Qinglan compromised and said, "Got it, got it. Go downstairs and read some books first. I'll make you a sandwich after washing up."
After Su Qinglan coaxed the little brat downstairs, she quickly washed up and changed into a professional suit. Then, she went downstairs and made a sandwich in person. Then, she heated up the milk and gave it to Gu Yize for breakfast.
Looking at Gu Yize, who was sitting at the dining table, eating breakfast elegantly, Su Qinglan fell into deep self-reflection.
She was a top assistant with an annual salary of one million. How did she become a nanny?
It was a long story, and it was all because of her immediate superior, Gu Jinchi, who was crying wine and selling vinegar!
Half a month ago, Gu Jinchi suddenly fainted from illness. In order to prevent Gu Corporation from turbulence, he specially asked Su Qinglan to bring back his only six-year-old son overseas to take charge of the company. He called him the Acting CEO!
Therefore, Su Qinglan began to manage the company during the day and tell stories at night! It was a sad life!
"Little President Gu, are you done eating? It's time to go to the company." Su Qinglan looked at the time on her phone and urged.
"The company is not fun. I don't want to go there. I want to go to the amusement park!" Gu Yize said reluctantly.
Su Qinglan frowned and begged, "Sir! Why don't you go and show your face so that people won't say that I am plotting to usurp the authority?"
"A Family Bucket!" Gu Yize gave his negotiation conditions!
"You are so young, can you eat a whole Family Bucket? No, you can only eat one grilled chicken wing at most!" Su Qinglan shook her head vigorously.
"And an ice-cream!" Gu Yize said.
"No, no, your stomach will ache after eating cold stuff. I'll cook steaks for you when we come back tonight." Su Qinglan used her trump card, "Otherwise, I will let Aunty Wang make steamed buns with pickled vegetables!"
"Alright then." Gu Yize reluctantly agreed.
Seeing him nod in agreement, Su Qinglan hurriedly took her briefcase and took him into the car, heading straight to Gu Corporation Building in the city center.
Su Qinglan had been working here since she graduated from university and step by step, she became the special assistant to the president. She knew all the business of Gu Corporation like the back of her hand.
"Nice to meet you, Assistant Su and Little President Gu. This is your schedule today." Su Qinglan had just entered the president's office when her assistant handed her a schedule.
"Wow, so full! It will not end until eight o'clock! Are you going to starve me to death?" Gu Yize frowned, his face dark.
Well, he admitted that his heart ached for this bad woman! Humph!

For three years, Shane and Yvonne were wed, sharing heated nights, while his devotion clung to his ex.

"You're mine, little puppy," Kylan growled against my neck. A soft gasp escaped my lips as his lips brushed my skin. My mind screamed at me to push him away-the Lycan Prince who had humiliated me again and again, but my body betrayed me, leaning into him before I could stop myself. He pressed his lips against mine, and his kiss grew more aggressive, more possessive as I felt my legs weaken. What was I doing? In a split-second, I pulled away and slapped him hard across the face. Kylan's eyes darkened, but the smirk on his lips exposed his amusement. "You and I both know we can't fight this, Violet," he said, gripping my wrist. "You're my mate." "And yet you don't want me," I replied. "You told me you were ashamed of me, that l'd never be your queen, that you'd never love me. So please, accept my rejection and let me go." "Never," he whispered, his grip tightening as he pulled me closer. "Soon enough, you'll be begging for me. and when you do-I'll use you as I see fit and then I'll reject you."
