Honey, Open The Door. I Want To Give You The Room Key - Chapter 20

Liu Yu sat in the car, watching Lou Qingshuang’s back as she got out. There was a lightness in Lou Qingshuang’s stride that brought a faint smile to Liu Yu’s face.

The driver, Xiao Wang, started the vehicle. Watching Lou Qingshuang’s silhouette slowly vanish from sight, Liu Yu said in a low, deep voice, “See you tonight.”

Lou Qingshuang was dressed in a white, mid-length retro windbreaker that exuded both fashion and a sense of high-end elegance. As she brushed a long strand of hair behind her ear, she revealed her gentle yet sharp temperament. Watching her movements, the young girl at the front desk clutched her heart; President Lou was truly moving at every moment, and her sense of style was impeccable.

Lou Qingshuang walked in, bringing a gust of cold air with her. “Good morning, President Lou,” the receptionist hurried to greet her. Lou Qingshuang smiled and nodded at her. “Good morning.”

Standing upstairs, Bai Wan watched Liu Yu’s car while sleepily sipping her coffee. “And Shuangshuang says it’s nothing. If it’s nothing, how can she be dropped off at work two days in a row?”

Bai Wan had been staying at the company to oversee the finalization of plans and manage the public relations battle. Thanks to last night’s efforts, the sales volume for Wanshuang had risen significantly once again. Even the regional distributors had settled down considerably.

Bai Wan let out a yawn, set down her coffee, and prepared to go catch some sleep.

On the other side, a person hiding in the shadows sent the photos they had taken of Lou Qingshuang getting out of Liu Yu’s car to Zhu Rui’s assistant. They hadn’t managed to capture who was sitting inside the car; they only had shots of Lou Qingshuang as she stepped out.

Upon receiving the photos, Zhu Rui stared with a deep, dark gaze at the images of Lou Qingshuang exiting the Bentley. She let out a mocking laugh and forwarded the photos to her “dear daughter.”

Lou Qingshuang changed into her white lab coat, put on her goggles and disposable gloves, and began her work once more. She wanted to formulate a scent that mimicked Liu Yu’s perfume. That fragrance was actually quite pleasant.

Lou Qingshuang planned to create a different kind of scent as well—a piercingly cold glacial atmosphere—but it was proving difficult to blend.

Just thinking about how Liu Yu frequently sprayed the scent of her pheromones on her body made Lou Qingshuang feel a bit flustered and annoyed. What kind of decent person puts someone else’s pheromone scent on themselves? Fortunately, not many people knew the scent of her pheromones.

Lou Qingshuang intended to create a perfume that matched Liu Yu’s characteristics, hoping to get her to replace the rose fragrance. As for the rose scent she was formulating, she would keep that for her own use.

Lou Qingshuang focused intently on researching the perfume. Once she had the basic concept down, she set the perfume aside and prepared to continue developing new products.

After work, Lou Qingshuang breathed a sigh of relief when she saw that the familiar Bentley was not waiting outside the company gates.

She happily drove her own car home. Just as she reached her doorstep, she happened to run into Liu Yu. Only this time, Liu Yu was dressed in a luxurious black floor-length gown with her hair half-pinned up. With a flick of her eyes, she exuded an aura of supreme power and ultimate charm. Around her neck hung a gemstone necklace worth tens of millions; the necklace amplified the commanding presence Liu Yu carried. On her index finger, she wore a long ring set with an intensely vivid red gemstone, matching the necklace.

Liu Yu’s originally cold expression softened considerably upon seeing Lou Qingshuang. “You’re back.”

A flash of amazement sparked in Lou Qingshuang’s eyes. Liu Yu’s temperament and appearance truly did not lose out to world-class superstars. In fact, she possessed a certain charm that those stars could never match—it was the composure and calm of someone who had seen it all, the dominance and majesty of one who occupied a high position.

“Are you going out?” Lou Qingshuang struggled to pull her stunned gaze away. In that moment, she truly felt that this building and this neighborhood were unworthy of Liu Yu.

Liu Yu caught the amazement in Lou Qingshuang’s eyes. A light smile played on her lips as she offered an invitation. “Yes. Do you want to come and have some fun with me?”

Lou Qingshuang shook her head. She didn’t even dare to walk beside Liu Yu right now; she would feel eclipsed and inferior. Most importantly, she didn’t want to end up on the entertainment gossip headlines.

Liu Yu glanced up at the assistant beside her, who immediately led the others into the elevator first. Only Liu Yu and Lou Qingshuang remained in the corridor. Liu Yu raised her hand—the one wearing the long ring—and tilted Lou Qingshuang’s chin up. She took a step forward, bringing them extremely close together.

“What are you thinking about?” Liu Yu leaned close to Lou Qingshuang’s face, watching the flash of awe and the retreat of self-consciousness in her eyes. She understood that look; it was the kind that often-led people to withdraw out of insecurity.

Seeing such a grand beauty pressed so close to her, Lou Qingshuang’s heart skipped a beat. This outfit fully showcased Liu Yu’s charm and magnificent presence. And yet, this person, who usually met others with a cold face, would break into a smile the moment she saw her. It truly gave Lou Qingshuang a sense of being overwhelmed by favor.

It felt as though she were being uniquely cherished by someone, a thought that genuinely frightened her.

“I wasn’t thinking of anything.” Lou Qingshuang uncomfortably moved her chin away, her ears flushing red. She stared at Liu Yu’s neck—it was equally sexy and slender, a perfect “beauty’s neck.” Paired with the red gemstone necklace, it truly made one want to steal a kiss there.

Liu Yu saw the flicker of desire in Lou Qingshuang’s eyes and smiled with satisfaction. She tilted Lou Qingshuang’s chin up once more and leaned down, her lips brushing just in front of the corner of Lou Qingshuang’s mouth.

The elegant, piercingly cold rose fragrance made Lou Qingshuang feel as if she were standing on a vast tundra, seeing a great field of vivid red roses blooming in the ice.

Liu Yu pulled away after a momentary touch. She leaned her head close to Lou Qingshuang’s ear and whispered, “You look very beautiful too.” Having said that, she released her hand just as the elevator arrived. Liu Yu stepped gracefully into the elevator, turning back to flash a smile at Lou Qingshuang just as the doors were closing. She took pleasure in watching Lou Qingshuang stand there in a daze.

Lou Qingshuang watched the elevator close, the shock in her heart leaving her unable to react for a long time. Did Liu Yu just kiss her again?

Lou Qingshuang’s face turned bright red instantly. She had been hit by the full force of Liu Yu’s beauty.

“Why does an Alpha have to be so gorgeous!” Lou Qingshuang said huffily, stubbornly refusing to admit that she had just been completely captivated by Liu Yu.

How could such a person not be attractive? How could someone not be moved? Especially when that person treats you as someone special, giving you their best attention and tenderness—the mere thought of it made one’s breath hitch.

“Liu Yu,” Lou Qingshuang murmured the name softly.

It was too terrifying.

The way Liu Yu had turned around just now truly made Lou Qingshuang’s heart skip a beat. She unconsciously touched the spot where Liu Yu had kissed her; that piercingly cold rose fragrance seemed to still be echoing at the tip of her nose.

“I’m doomed. Liu Yu, how did you turn into such a temptress?” Lou Qingshuang cried out softly with a red face, quickly shaking her head as she hurried into her house, trying to erase the image of Liu Yu’s face from her mind.

Having successfully kissed her target, Liu Yu wore a faint smile. She lifted her skirt and gracefully lowered herself into the car. Tonight, she was attending a niche banquet. The attendees were all leaders in their respective fields; they gathered periodically to chat and understand each other’s likely next business moves.

Liu Yu rested her index finger against her cheek and closed her eyes to rest for a while. When they arrived at the mountainside manor, a woman acting as a greeter at the gate jogged forward to guide Liu Yu’s car into the estate, stopping only at the entrance of the banquet hall.

Liu Yu’s bodyguards parked the car first and then stood outside to protect her. Everyone entering tonight would bring bodyguards inside; the drivers and other guards would wait outside.

Liu Yu had a suit jacket draped over her shoulders to block the wind. She lifted her skirt slightly and stepped out of the car. A bodyguard held an umbrella over her. Her two assistants and secretary, also dressed in evening wear, followed behind her. The group entered the banquet hall with a grand presence.

As soon as she entered, someone offered her a hot towel to wipe her hands and whispered to her assistant where Liu Yu’s private lounge was located.

Liu Yu waved her hand to decline the towel and looked toward the exquisitely luxurious hall. Several acquaintances were already sitting together, chatting.

Back at home, Lou Qingshuang washed her face. She felt much calmer, and her stirred heart had settled down. This time, she truly felt that this “ill-fated relationship” seemed to be getting quite forceful.

Looking at her own rosy complexion, Lou Qingshuang patted her cheeks and prepared to put on a face mask. “I need to take good care of myself too.”

But looking in the mirror, she instinctively recalled the scene where Liu Yu had tilted her chin up. Her ears turned red again as she wailed, “Truly a temptress.”

The way Liu Yu looked just now was truly “yu” (full of desire)—both seductive and possessing the playful arrogance of someone in power. Lou Qingshuang quickly washed her face once more, determined to stay away from the temptress.
