Even when the two of them had returned to the car, Gu Anbao still had her head turned back as she nervously watched the man who was lying on the ground struggling to climb to his feet.

Thank God… he’s still able to get up. This means that… he’s not seriously injured…

“Let’s leave quickly,” she urged in her fluster. “Will they chase after us…?”

“What for?” The man offhandedly answered as he dipped his head and sent out the pictures he had taken earlier with his phone. “We’ve already destroyed whatever needs destroying… What’s the use of chasing after us?”

Nevertheless, she remained, clutching her seat as she looked back, thinking. What should we do if they come after us…?

Chen Yuheng noticed the robot’s nervous look when he was done sending the photos out and found it to be quite interesting. He reached over to rub her leopard ears. “What are you scared of? They won’t be able to beat me in a fight.”

Her body suddenly straightened right then. “Ah! They’re driving now!” Surely they’re not going to bump into us?!

The man, however, did not even bother to spare it a glance. Instead, he went on making a phone call—

She watched that car driving straight toward them… then pass by them and left.

It happened so quickly she could not believe her eyes.

On the other hand, Chen Yuheng’s call had been connected. “Have you received the photos…? Investigate this private detective agency; I want to know what online orders they have received in the last week, their clients’ identity especially. Yes… They’ve been following me since I stepped out of the house… It’s fine at my end… Yes, let me know as soon as possible.”

At the end of the call, he found the robot blankly looking at him and so, he leaned over to help her re-fasten her seat belt and patiently coaxed, “It’s all right now. There’s no need to be scared, Ruan Ruan.”

He moved on to caress her head.

She bowed her head in embarrassment at that.

Sheesh… I’m not scared at all. I was just shocked to hear the words ‘private detective agency’…

Due to the unexpected hold-up during their journey, they inevitably arrived a little later than usual at the company.

Gu Anbao was not sure if it was her misperception, but somehow, there seemed to be an increase in the number of security officers in RK today.

They took the CEO’s personal elevator up to his office floor and outside the security doors were two rows of security officers in black uniform!

How impressive…! They don’t look like security officers but rather, from the special forces… There are even foreigners among them.

Cheryl, who had long come out to greet them, beamed in delight. “Mr. Ace is back, Director Chen!”

The latter cocked a brow. “He should’ve been back long ago.”

Gu Anbao was familiar with this name, and she knew that the designer and creator of this body she was currently using was this legendary Mr. Ace.

… He was the winner of the last robotics competition.

Speaking of which, she had a rather high regard for this person. A girl like her, who usually only came into contact with comics and goldfish, could never imagine that someone in this world could actually create a robot to look just like a human being and even walk and talk. It was simply amazing.

At the thought of him being Chen Yuheng’s friend, she somehow felt a little honored…

As soon as she walked past the security doors, she heard a burst of exaggerated laughter coming from the CEO’s office!

“AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!”

“…”

Everyone from the secretary’s department seemed to be used to this situation as they kept their professional smiles plastered on their faces.

She noticed, from the corner of her eyes, the additional presence of a young blonde woman. Her body was as long and slender as a magazine model and was revealed when she unhurriedly got up from her seat when she saw the man’s arrival. She greeted him with a smile, “Long time no see, Director Chen.”

A faint smile graced his face. “The same to you, Lily.”

Gu Anbao peeked at her in astonishment as she stood behind the man.

She’s a foreigner… Her eyes are beautiful…

The woman looked at her in surprise, too… Due to her petite build, Lily even had to bend down slightly as she regarded her with novelty. “She’s Mr. Ace’s new creation? It’s impressive. It’s better than what was designed.”

Her spoken Chinese is fluent and accurate…

That was when the other woman smiled and introduced herself to her. “Hello, I’m Mr. Ace’s secretary. You can call me Lily.”

She felt a little nervous. “Hello, Lily… I-I’m… I’m Ruan Ruan…”

A hint of confusion flashed across Lily’s blue eyes as she straightened herself and regarded Chen Yuheng. “Her pronunciation doesn’t seem to be very smooth.”

The man stroked her head as if he was already used to it and explained, “It happens when she gets nervous, and she will even blush when it gets too overwhelming for her.”

Lily chuckled behind her hand. “How adorable…”

The people outside were still chatting away when a sudden burst of roaring laughter could be heard coming from the office. It was accompanied by the dull and constant banging sound of the table as if whoever inside was going to die laughing away… and that laughter eventually turned into hacking coughs.

The secretary pursed her lips as she smiled and turned her body slightly to make way for the expressionless CEO and his robot to pass. When he opened the door to his office—

The other party seemed to have received a huge shock. Before she got a clear view of that person, she heard a thump! It seemed that… someone had fallen off his seat.

Moments later, a young man with white hair slowly climbed up to his feet while holding the table as a support. He raised a hand and waved it at them. “Hi… Yuheng…”

The latter frowned when he eyed the mess on his table. “Don’t you have an office?”

“Well, I’m here to find you.” Ace laughed mischievously as he put the chair behind him upright, pretentiously dusting it for a bit. “Come, come, come. Please take a seat, big boss.”

Chen Yuheng did not buy his trick, though. Too lazy to be bothered about his friend, he walked over to take his seat, then lightly said, “Your return is timely. We need to discuss the new research and development project with the designers from Feng Hong; go fix a time for that.”

The former let out a slightly exaggerated cry. “Can you not talk about business as soon as we meet?!”

Alas, the other man had already taken his schedule and was beginning to pick a date as he asked carelessly, “If not, what do you want to talk about?”

A mischievous smirk appeared on Ace’s face. “Women, of course! Since when did you get yourself a woman? What a friend you are! How can you not tell me about it?! Quick, spill it. Which young and rich missy is she?”

Chen Yuheng shot him a confused look. “What woman?” At the same time, he made an internal call, “Cheryl, take a look at my schedules for 13, 17, and 21. If possible, arrange a meeting with Feng Hong’s Director Qin and their technical officers.”

Ace pushed his phone to him. “The one this Weibo post is referring to!” He boldly slid a finger across the screen and clicked his tongue in amazement. “In just a short time, more underwear vendors have come advertising their products under this posting!”

The CEO’s face sunk instantly…

He immediately scooted further away from him. “The photos were neither taken nor posted by me… so why are you glaring at me…?”

“Those were bought for Ruan Ruan.” The CEO spun his chair around to face his friend to discuss this matter with him.

“Ruan Ruan? That’s a pretty nice name. Haha, when are you going to let us meet? I promise not to fight you for her!”

Before he could complete his sentence, he saw Chen Yuheng pointing to the robot who was obediently standing there in the office.

“…”

He froze for half a second before he, like a little boy who refused to acknowledge something, suddenly shouted, “I don’t believe you!”

Are you kidding?! This is such a funny matter… How could that lingerie be bought for the robot?! I’ll never accept this explanation!

With a deadpan look, Chen Yuheng enunciated, “This is, ultimately all your fault.”

If it wasn’t because of her huge breasts…
