"Huh? Sorry, I didn't hear you clearly. Please say it again." (Slightly warming the sun.)
That damn vice president, why is he laughing so loudly all the time? He made her miss the important part.
“President’s wife!” Joel said each word clearly and concisely, but Sisi was slightly taken aback, then opened her mouth in astonishment, and then her face turned angry.
"I knew it, I knew it! I never imagined that a big CEO would be so bored as to tease a lowly employee. Is that really fun?"
"No? Does this position not meet your requirements?"
"Are you kidding me? If you can become the president's wife by appealing once, then I'll become the first lady by appealing a few more times!" It's such a waste of her time.
“I cannot make decisions about the First Lady, but you have always been my intended First Lady, in fact, you have been for ten years.”
"Huh?" Sisi stared blankly as the high-backed chair slowly turned around. When she finally saw who was inside, horror instantly spread across her face. She quickly covered her mouth with her right hand to stop a scream from escaping, while her left hand pressed against her stomach, trying to calm the violent churning in her stomach. She stared stiffly as Joel stood up, walked around the desk, and approached... When his fingers touched her clothes, she finally jumped back three big steps and turned to run away. But two strong arms quickly wrapped around her waist from behind, firmly holding her in a broad, familiar embrace, his hot breath brushing against her neck.

Chapter Three: "Twined threads of affection" by Yu Xin
The Du family was a prestigious clan in southern Taiwan, known for its scholarly tradition, but they amassed their fortune through the scrap metal trade and became tycoons due to the booming real estate market in Taiwan. Despite this, the Du couple remained proud of their noble lineage.
So they sent their children abroad to study at university one after another, and their mother, Shen Ruyou, went abroad to take care of them. Only their father, Du Tianhe, stayed in Taiwan to manage the company, and their daughter, Sisi, who only got into a vocational high school.
The couple was quite dissatisfied with their youngest daughter, not because she couldn't get into a public high school, but because she didn't like studying and was just coasting along with a "sixty-point" mentality.
Whenever summer or winter vacation arrives, Du Tianhe sends his youngest daughter to his wife's place to attend summer classes and learn English, so that she can take the TOEFL exam in the future.
Despite this, Sisi still drifted along. Although she spoke fluent English, she only learned skateboarding, rock and roll, and disco.
Shen Ruyou really didn't know what future her youngest daughter had. Besides wasting her time, she had no other talents.
But this time, during the summer vacation before Sisi entered her senior year of high school, Shen Ruyou finally discovered her youngest daughter's strengths.
The incident began with Du Lili, Sisi's second older sister, who was a senior at Harvard University. The naturally beautiful and intelligent Du Lili, together with her mother, chose Joseph, the heir of the New York Remson family, from among many suitors. He was also a senior at Harvard University and a handsome man with black hair and blue eyes.
In order to catch this big fish, Du Lili offered herself to Joseph, thinking that this would succeed. However, Joseph told her indifferently that she was not the first virgin he had met, and that he was already engaged to someone of equal social standing. He would not break off his engagement for a woman as easy to get as Du Lili.
Although the Du family were wealthy businessmen in Taiwan, they were just small businessmen in the eyes of the Remson family.
Upon hearing this answer, Du Lili was dumbfounded. What a case of trying to steal a chicken but losing the rice instead!
She was unwilling to accept it. She wasn't some frivolous girl, but now her virginity was gone just like that, without any consequences!
Ru You was also unwilling to give up. If the Du family could climb up to the powerful backing of the Remson family, Du Tianhe could move his entire business from Taiwan to the United States and fulfill his hope of immigrating to the United States.
Now, with one wrong step, it seems they are facing total defeat. Just then, Du Rendi, the second son of the Du family and a sophomore at Boston University, utters a whimsical and cunning plan that has simultaneously come to mind for them.
“You guys are so stupid. That playboy has slept with so many women, why would he care about a mere Eastern woman?” Du Renzhui said disdainfully. “Actually, you should have let him have you when he first started pursuing you. At least you could have used your underage status to seduce him. You should know that the thing that noble families like theirs fear most is scandal.”
He paused for a moment, then added, "And as far as I know, he has three younger brothers, so he's not the sole heir of the Remson family. If he gets into any scandal, the Remson family, which values reputation highly, will remove him from the position of heir. I don't think he'd want that to happen."
So, after the mother and daughter locked themselves in their room and chattered away for the entire afternoon, they finally reached a consensus.
That night, as soon as Sisi stepped through the door with her skateboard, her mother and sister pulled her into the living room and sat her down. They stared at her seriously for a long time.
"Do you think it's okay?" Shen Ruyou asked.
“It should be fine,” Du Lili replied, “but he might need to dress up a bit. He’s from high society and doesn’t like this kind of…” She gestured with her hand up and down the silk. “A casual outfit.”
Sisi couldn't help but look down at herself. T-shirt and jeans, simple and cool, what's wrong with that?
"Then let her try on your clothes, or you can buy her something else," Shen Ruyou said.
Du Lili nodded, then frowned, "Who will tell her about this?"
While Shen Ruyou was still hesitating, Sisi interrupted, asking, "Tell me what? Are you going to ask me to go for another university interview?"
The mother and daughter exchanged a glance, and then Shen Ruyou asked cautiously, "If I promise you I won't force you to go to university anymore, can you do something for us?"
Sisi glanced at them several times, "Tell me first." She answered cautiously.
So, Shen Ruyou told Sisi about Du Lili's situation in detail.
After listening with a frown, Sisi asked with even more suspicion, "This is her problem, how can I help? Do you expect me to go and beat him up?"
“No, I meant…” Shen Ruyou stared intently at her youngest daughter’s face. “I meant for you to seduce him into bed. Then we could use the charge of abducting a minor to blackmail him.”
For a long while, Sisi just stared at them in disbelief, unable to utter a single word.
Shen Ruyou coughed uneasily, "You know, this is the best way. Only in this way will he consider marrying Lili, or he can help your father move the company to the United States. Then we can be reunited as a family and no longer be separated."
"What about me?" Sisi still looked incredulous. "What am I supposed to do? Just let him take advantage of me like this?"
Shen Ruyou was speechless. Then she hurriedly said, "It's not without its price. Think about it, he'll marry your second sister. Otherwise, it would be so pitiful for your second sister to be played like this, and..."
“Please,” Sisi interrupted her impatiently. “Second Sister was pitiful to be played, but isn’t it pitiful for me to be played too? Besides, marrying a playboy like him might not be a good thing!”
“That’s my business, Sisi,” Lin Lili finally spoke. “Perhaps his background is one of my criteria for choosing a partner, but I also genuinely like him. As long as we can get married, I will have the time and opportunity to keep his love by my side.”
“And…” Shen Ruyou continued. “Your father has wanted to move the company to the United States for a long time, but it’s not easy. It’s quite difficult without a powerful backer. So, for your father’s sake, so that he doesn’t have to stay alone in Taiwan anymore, what’s wrong with you making a little sacrifice?”
Du Lili glanced at her mother. "Besides, I've already talked to Mom. As long as you can do this for us, we won't force you to go to university anymore, or force you to do anything else. You can do whatever you want, and we'll provide whatever you need unconditionally. Isn't that the freedom you want most?" Freedom!
