Realizing that subtle hints wouldn’t work on this little vixen, Sun Jing decided to give her a dose of harsh reality in the workplace to make her back off.

Immediately, she decided to give the new girl something to do, “Tomorrow, several departments in the company will have a meeting together. I’ll send you the meeting materials to your email. Print a hundred copies, bind them, and arrange them neatly in the meeting room.”

Actually, the company’s printer had binding capabilities where you could select automatic binding after printing, eliminating the need for manual binding. However, this Fiona struggled even with operating the printer, let alone understanding the binding mode.

Sure enough, Sun Jing soon saw her foolishly struggling with each document using a stapler.

With her work done, Sun Jing left quietly, hiding her accomplishments and name. She smiled faintly and then popped a few digestion pills into her mouth.

Although Bai Tao had mentally prepared herself for experiencing office life, she didn’t expect the assistant’s life to be so tough—she spent almost the entire afternoon in the printing room. With a hundred thick documents to bind, she mechanically repeated the process until her wrists ached and the palms she used to press down were red.

Returning home that evening, Pei Shi was reading a financial newspaper. Bai Tao extended both hands in front of him, completely blocking his view, forcing Pei Shi to put down the newspaper.

Glancing at Bai Tao’s hands, he furrowed his brow. “What’s wrong?”

Bai Tao immediately adopted a petulant tone, mimicking the details of a news report. “Today, I bound a hundred documents. My wrists hurt so much, look, they’re all red…”

With her mind preoccupied with manga these days, Bai Tao felt she had been neglecting their relationship. To avoid Pei Shi noticing any changes, she decided to have a cozy evening with him tonight.

So, Bai Tao moved her hands closer to Pei Shi’s eyes. Suppressing her inner embarrassment, she professionally said, “I need my husband to massage and soothe them.”

“…”

As Bai Tao continued, Pei Shi’s face displayed an indescribable expression. Without hesitation, he coldly refused Bai Tao, “I’m not a professional. I’ll call a therapist to massage you.”

Bai Tao discreetly observed Pei Shi’s expression and sensed his anger.

Well, give and take—it wasn’t fair to always expect Pei Shi to take care of her. Since taking over five years ago, even when she pitied Pei Shi’s devotion, she hadn’t had a proper meal or even a sip of soup… It didn’t matter if she was his wife or not…

Thinking this way, Bai Tao couldn’t help but sympathize with Pei Shi. After some mental preparation, she boldly closed her eyes and pecked Pei Shi’s cheek, saying, “Okay, I’ve paid for the massage. Honey, massage my hands.”

She flirted with Pei Shi, “Our love is as solid as gold. Massages are very intimate. How can I let someone else do it? Only you can touch my hands.” Bai Tao morally manipulated, “Don’t you love me anymore? Didn’t you always say as long as I…”

Pei Shi took a deep breath, interrupting Bai Tao, “Alright, I’ll massage them for you.”

Despite his words, his expression remained grim, but he obediently started massaging Bai Tao’s wrist.

Bai Tao was quite demanding when it came to pleasure. After a while, she felt comfortable enough to start directing him, “Too light, Pei Shi, use more strength! Be more manly!”

“…”

“Pei Shi, faster! This isn’t a sensual massage. Why are you moving so slowly and in circles?”

“…”

“It hurts!! Ouch!! Gentle! Gentle! Treat my hand like a fragile princess! This is the hand of a manga artist, not your enemy, but your wife, Pei Shi!”

“…”

“Mm, that’s about right. You’ve massaged enough, now give me a little pounding!”

“…”

…

Half an hour later, Bai Tao sighed contentedly, “Pei Shi, I didn’t expect you to have such good massage skills. Look, practice makes perfect. With enough practice, you can master anything! There’s nothing difficult in this world as long as you’re willing to climb! If I ever go bankrupt and lose my job, at least I have this skill to fall back on!”

“Who told you to do the binding?”

Unfortunately, Pei Shi loved Bai Tao too much. Even though her wrists were only just beginning to recover after half an hour of his massage, Pei Shi felt deeply sorry for her. His tone now sounded like he was going to sacrifice someone for a ritual, his face was so dark, as if he had suffered a great indignity.

Ah!

It’s all love’s fault!

Bai Tao comforted him, “I wanted to experience this on my own. Only by truly working like an assistant can I gain more inspiration and material. Don’t ask who told me to bind them, and don’t punish your subordinates for me. There’s no need, really no need.”

Bai Tao looked lovingly at Pei Shi, “Honey, I feel your love and protection. Just seeing you at work every day, even if I have to bind a hundred documents, I’m willing…”

*****

Bai Tao was willing, but Pei Shi wasn’t. After all, her wrists were tired, and in the end, he suffered…

Pei Shi, with no expression on his face, massaged Bai Tao’s wrists for over half an hour. When he returned to the room, he immediately called Yuan Mu, “Tell the people below not to let Bai Tao bind documents anymore.” He thought for a moment, then added, “Don’t let her do any physical labor.”

What a joke. Bai Tao, this indulgent person, was too frightening when she was being dramatic. If her wrist was tired this time and he had to massage her for so long, what about the next time? Would he have to learn a full-body massage?

If he hadn’t wanted Bai Tao to suspect their “affectionate” status, Pei Shi would never have endured massaging this woman for half an hour…

However, Pei Shi’s words, as conveyed by Yuan Mu, took on a different meaning in Sun Jing’s ears—

Men are really not to be trusted!

Sun Jing lay on her bed, her heart unable to calm down for a long time—

Even President Pei, he actually… cheated!

She just let that assistant print and bind some documents! As a result, President Pei personally told Yuan to not assign any physical labor to that assistant in the future!

This pair of cheaters had already developed so quickly to this point! President Pei even refused to let that assistant do the binding! Could it be that this assistant’s hands were particularly precious?

Poor Teacher Bai Tao, still oblivious, continued to casually tell her “affectionate” story on Weibo, but… it was just an illusion of affection!

Sun Jing sympathized deeply with Bai Tao, feeling painfully that the gentle and quiet Teacher Bai Tao should not know these dirty things.

Difficulties are like springs, the weaker you are, the stronger they become. Sun Jing made up her mind— the more dominant the third party was, the harder she would work. Let these dirty things end in front of her!

Let her clean up this little bitch!

Let her wake up President Pei’s conscience!
