Chapter 24: Trying to Slip Away Without Taking Responsibility

After that incident, Yu Jin dared not protest any longer. She sat obediently in her seat, diligently practicing her typing efficiency, appearing quite content with her work and offering not a single word of complaint. Dongfang She was a bottomless pit, and she refused to let him drag her down with him!

Dongfang She glanced up at her occasionally, feeling quite pleased with himself. It was strange; had anyone else dared to treat him this way, he would have eliminated them without a second thought. Yet, with this woman before him, he found he had completely abandoned his principles.

"Assistant Yu, you had best give my suggestion some serious thought, or I cannot guarantee the consequences." Dongfang She smiled with an inscrutable air, leaving Yu Jin’s scalp tingling. Why was he so wicked? Why?

"President Dongfang must have never truly loved anyone," Yu Jin muttered to herself.

"And how would you know that?" A flash of embarrassment crossed Dongfang She's eyes at being exposed, but he quickly ground his teeth. "When I was conquering the field of romance, you didn't even exist yet!"

Yu Jin decided she no longer wished to communicate with him; they were from different worlds, and there was no common ground to be found.

Feeling unwell, Dongfang She left early, slamming the door as he departed. Yu Jin finally breathed a sigh of relief. However, as the end of the workday approached, her heart began to race out of rhythm, as if something momentous were about to happen.

Sure enough, just as she was packing her things and preparing to slip away, the door to the president's office was kicked open. Dongfang She stood there, his red hair vibrant and his expression as bewitching as a demon’s, his arm outstretched to block her path.

The innocent little rabbit was baffled. "President Dongfang... why—why have you returned?"

"You think you can just slip away after injuring me without taking responsibility?" He scowled, leaving Yu Jin completely bewildered.

"Take responsibility? Why should I? Are you broken?"

"I am!" Dongfang She declared brazenly. He slowly and deliberately fished a medical certificate from his pocket and thrust it majestically into Yu Jin's hand.

Half-doubting, Yu Jin took the paper and scanned the doctor's wild, sprawling handwriting until she found a few words: "Testicular injury, erectile dysfunction?"

What?! It was that serious?

Yu Jin turned pale with fright. Dongfang She’s expression shifted slightly; he snatched the paper back, crumpled it into a ball, shoved it into his suit pocket, and gritted his teeth. "Do you believe me now? You’ve ruined my happiness below the belt! You must take responsibility!"

"But I... I didn't mean to! And it was clearly you who assaulted me first!" Panic set in, and abandoning any pretense of being a lady, Yu Jin began to argue with him.

Dongfang She had no patience for such logic. Wherever he stood, his word was law; if he said she had to be responsible, then she had no choice.

"Does Assistant Yu want to see me in court? I don't think making a scene would benefit either of us. I'm unmarried, and you're unmarried; if word gets out, people might think we went too far..."

The more Dongfang She spoke, the more absurd he became, until finally, Yu Jin couldn't take it anymore and roared, "What exactly do you want?!"

The president spread his hands, blinked, and looked utterly innocent. "Didn't I tell you? You need to be responsible for me!"

"I'm asking *how* you want me to be responsible!" Yu Jin looked at his radiant, blooming expression and deeply suspected he wasn't actually suffering from any dysfunction. But he was so shameless that she felt helpless.

"Think about it: I am the number one playboy of G City. Not only will I have a shadow over my heart regarding women after this, but I also won't be able to show my face in public. Furthermore, my spirit has been severely damaged. Therefore, until I complete my medical treatment and recover, you must look after me. Not only will you handle my daily needs and meals, but you must also help me regain my manhood!" Dongfang She’s conditions were finally laid out in full.
