Official Career Storm
Chapter 582

Chapter 582: Chapter 582

Her fingers seemed to possess some kind of magic, igniting blazing warmth wherever they touched.

Her flirtatious tone made Song Guanchao already react.

He focused his eyes on his nose and his nose on his heart, saying, "I don’t know about my danger, but if Governor Qu keeps playing this game, you’ll be in very real danger."

Qu Xiangru giggled, her laughter as crisp as colliding silver bells.

Two fingers reached for the middle of his bathrobe, deftly unfastening the button. Her small hand wormed its way inside the garment, her warm soft palm caressing his chest, making Song Guanchao’s skin crawl.

And she didn’t stop there; she raised one leg, placed it atop his thigh, and slowly curled it, rubbing her thigh against his lower parts.

Feeling his hardness, Qu Xiangru’s laughter grew more joyous. "Seems like you’re uncomfortably hard?"

Song Guanchao took a deep breath and forcefully grabbed the soft flesh on her thigh. "Play with fire any further, and I won’t be polite!"

He could never quite discern what this woman truly meant.

A provincial high-ranking official, using her body to seduce a mere secretary—such a claim would seem absurd to anyone.

Under any other circumstance, Song Guanchao would have taught her a lesson.

But Qu Xiangru’s status, combined with her actions, left Song Guanchao unsure and opaque, hesitant to act rashly.

However, he could feel it too.

This woman was not as indifferent as she seemed.

Her thigh touched, her body also tensed up, and her heartbeat accelerated.

This instantly gave Song Guanchao confidence.

He turned his body, yanking hers toward him, pressing against her below, closing her legs around Xiao Song.

Then he grabbed her ample buttocks, stared into her stunning visage, and said, "Is Governor Qu getting heaty? How about I serve you well first, and then we discuss official matters?"

This sudden move didn’t unsettle Qu Xiangru.

She clenched her legs and even deliberately pressed her buttocks down. "Secretary Song, as I said, you are in real danger now."

Song Guanchao raised an eyebrow. "What, you’re sick?"

Qu Xiangru became stiff, taking a few seconds to grasp the implication of his words.

Does he think I have an STD?

That’s why it’s dangerous?

Even with Qu Xiangru’s composure, she found it hard not to get irritated by his remark.

She raised her hand to slap.

"Slap!"

Song Guanchao caught her wrist, twisted her body over, and pinned her under him, thrusting his hips.

Xiao Song, separated only by two layers of clothing, struck against her forcefully, sending tremors through her core.

Qu Xiangru took a deep breath and swiftly calmed down. "Some people are hoping for your death; would you say that’s dangerous or not?"

Song Guanchao chuckled, "There are plenty who wish me dead, yet I’m still living just fine."

That’s what he said, but Qu Xiangru’s words probably had a deeper meaning.

Was someone plotting against him?

And Qu Xiangru knew about it?

Qu Xiangru continued, "Give me the positions in Lingjiang and An County, and I’ll tell you who’s targeting you."

Song Guanchao narrowed his eyes. "Does Governor Qu want to play both sides?"

She probably knew who was targeting him because the other party had directly approached her.

Yet this woman turned around and betrayed them, using this information as a bargaining chip in negotiations with him.

Qu Xiangru didn’t bother to explain. "I’ve told you about the danger, and what I want. The choice is yours."

Song Guanchao asked, "If I don’t give in, does that mean Governor Qu will help them against me?"

"If you cooperate with me, I’ll ensure your career flourishes. Moreover, I can satisfy some of your other desires, such as conquering a provincial official in bed."

Qu Xiangru didn’t say what would happen if he didn’t cooperate but rather told him the benefits of collaboration.

As she spoke, she suddenly grasped Xiao Song, stroking up and down, gauging his size: "Do you want to see me biting my lip in silence, or hear me cry out loudly? I can satisfy you either way."

Had he not heard these words with his own ears, Song Guanchao would not have believed they came from her.

For a few positions, she was offering herself to a little secretary.

It was as if their roles had been completely reversed.

This woman is just too much.

Too much to the point where Song Guanchao really started to wonder if she had some kind of contagious disease!

He subconsciously jolted up, keeping his distance from her.

"I’m just a secretary, does Governor Qu really trust my abilities that much?"

"Song Guanchao, you’re a smart man, you know what I’m talking about."

She grabbed Xiao Song forcefully and said, "Don’t make a decision you’ll regret."

"Let go of me first."

"Are you ready to leave?"

"No, I’m afraid you’re sick."

"..."

This was the second time she had heard this, and one would think that with the experience from the first time, she would stay calm.

Yet, not only did she fail to contain her anger, but she was even more furious than before.

Because from Song Guanchao’s tone, she could tell that he really thought she was diseased.

It took her more than a dozen seconds to regain her composure: "Song Guanchao, you really have quite the nerve!"

"No, I’m very cowardly, otherwise I’d have acted on impulse without thinking by now."

"Song Guanchao!" Qu Xiangru couldn’t hold back any longer: "Do you really think I can’t touch you?"

"Let go first."

Qu Xiangru was furious, and she even had the impulsive thought of pulling down his pants right then and there.

In the end, she let him go.

"I’ll give you half an hour to tell me your decision."

She flung off the covers, angrily getting out of bed.

Song Guanchao took a deep breath, hurried off the bed, ran to the front desk for a set of new clothes, dashed to the shower room, scrubbed himself thoroughly with soap, cleaned his body, and changed into the new clothes.

Song Guanchao told himself that a man must maintain his integrity and not regret a moment of impulse for the rest of his life.

He found Wu Qiangwei’s VIP room, and when he entered, Wu Qiangwei was soaking in the hot springs in her underwear.

He couldn’t help but glance.

Then, he couldn’t help but take another look.

And look again, continue looking...

Glancing back repeatedly made Wu Qiangwei couldn’t help but ask, "What are you doing?"

"It’s polite to take a look."

"You looked more than once."

"Being polite means continuous looking."

"..." Wu Qiangwei felt she should have chosen the flower hot spring, at least then the petals would have obscured the view beneath the water.

All of a sudden, Song Guanchao asked, "Secretary, are you cold?"

"... I’m soaking in the hot springs."

"So soaking in the hot springs means you can’t be cold?" Song Guanchao said, "No wonder I feel a bit cold."

"..." Wu Qiangwei rolled her eyes, "If you’re cold, come on in."

"Sure."

That was exactly what Song Guanchao had been waiting to hear. He pulled off his clothes and with a splash, he jumped in, spraying her face with water.

Wu Qiangwei wiped her face with a dark expression: "Did Qu Xiangru leave?"

"She left." Song Guanchao whispered, "Governor Qu told me..."

"Speak up."

"Can’t the secretary hear me?" Song Guanchao suddenly realized, "The hot spring is too big, we’re too far apart, so you can’t hear me."

Wu Qiangwei stopped talking, knowing very well what he was up to whenever he started acting like this.

"Secretary, should I come closer and tell you?"

Wu Qiangwei still didn’t speak, silently watching his performance.

Ignoring her gaze, Song Guanchao shamelessly edged closer.

As he got nearer and nearer, Wu Qiangwei finally couldn’t stand it anymore: "Just say it from there."
