Manipulative Harem God

Chapter 124 21st Century: Women can’t be easily bullied?

Zhang Wei, “Ms. Xue, could you kindly retrieve that for me?”

Narrowing her eyes slightly, Wu Xue couldn’t help but wonder, ‘Can’t he pick it up himself?’ Nonetheless, without uttering a word, she approached the desk and gracefully bent down to retrieve the fallen file.

As Zhang Wei caught a glimpse of her smooth, enticing rear, a sudden urge to spank her washed over him.

He extended his hand, eager to indulge in his desire.

However, rather than targeting her buttocks directly, he swiftly wrapped his hand around her waist and pulled her forcefully onto his lap.

!!

Wu Xue’s eyes flew open wide in surprise as she felt a jolt.

Startled by the unexpected motion, she instinctively shut her eyes.

But when she dared to open them again, she found herself seated on something warm.

Glancing down at the strong arms encircling her waist, she instantly realized her new position.

Her heart pounded frantically in her chest, while her entire face became flushed with a mix of nervousness and anticipation.

With a stiff expression, she spoke mechanically, her voice lacking any trace of emotion. “Mr. Zhang, I must warn you that there are cameras in the office,” she stiffly stated.

Zhang Wei let out a disappointed sigh and reluctantly removed his hands from her waist. “My apologies,” he mumbled.

As soon as she was released, Wu Xue hastily moved to stand in front of the desk, her gaze fixated on Zhang Wei with wide eyes and shock.

She could hardly believe that even after his audacious actions, this man was nonchalantly pretending as if nothing had occurred, with a smile on his face, no less. 𝑂𝑽𝓵xt.𝗇𝓔t

Her heart continued to thump loudly in her chest, making it difficult for her to gather her thoughts and find her voice.

For nearly half a minute, she dared not utter a single word.

Finally, determined not to be taken advantage of, she clenched her teeth and spoke with a hint of resentment, “I can report you for harassment,” she threatened.

Zhang Wei’s gaze lingered on her eyes for a moment before erupting into a villain like laughter. “Hahahaha….”

The sound of his laughter sent a shiver down Wu Xue’s spine, causing an immediate spike in her heart rate.

Goosebumps prickled her skin as she struggled to find her voice, determined to assert herself. “I-I can truly report you for sexual harassment! Don’t you dare think that just because you sit in that seat, you’re my boss and can do whatever you please!” Her thoughts spilled out in a torrent, her small fists clenched tightly, her entire body trembling.

Zhang Wei, however, remained completely unfazed by her threat.

Today, an unwavering determination to embrace his role as the villain burned within him.

As the tension filled the air, the scene seemed to unfold like a captivating movie. He was eager, almost craving this exhilarating game with her.

The thought of experiencing something entirely new exhilarated him.

It was a way to escape the bitter taste of defeat he had suffered at the hands of Feng Ruoyan.

In an instant, a loud “Boom!” reverberated through the room.

Zhang Wei surged to his feet with a sinister smirk, causing his chair to slide back abruptly.

The suddenness of his motion left Wu Xue wide-eyed with astonishment, her initial surprise morphing quickly into fear.

“….” She desperately tried to find her voice, but the words remained lodged in her throat, rendering her speechless.

Feeling her own voice trapped, an overwhelming fear gripped Wu Xue, compelling her to take a hesitant step backward.

Seizing the moment, Zhang Wei gradually stepped forward, his smirk widening as he played his part with undeniable confidence.

*Step!*

“….”

*Step*

“….”

*Step*

“….*

The tension in the air grew thicker, suffocating.

*Step*

A bead of sweat trickled down Wu Xue’s forehead as she slowly realized how close she was to the edge. It was as if time had slipped away, stealing her awareness until she felt the cold glass wall pressing against her back.

“Y-You…” Finally finding her voice, she managed to utter a few words, her voice trembling with fear.

But those words ignited a spark of defiance within her, bolstering her confidence. “What are you trying to do!?” she shot back, her voice laced with nervousness.

“This is the 21st century! Let me warn you, we women are not so easily bullied,” she spoke hastily, her words fueled by a mix of fear and determination. “Don’t come any closer, or e-else…” she stammered, grasping for a threat that could match the intensity of the situation.

“Else what?” Zhang Wei chuckled, his voice dripping with smugness. “Will you report me again?… to the police??”

In that moment, Wu Xue’s eyes shone with a flicker of courage, and without hesitating, she nodded.

“Haha,” however, the taunting only fueled Zhang Wei’s actions further.

He extended his thumb and rubbed it against Wu Xue’s soft lips, a wicked grin spreading across his face. “Hm? Are they waterproof?” he spoke suddenly.

“I-It’s called smudge-proof!” Wu Xue retorted, her voice laced with frustration, realizing in that moment that she was engaging with his nonsensical behavior.

Zhang Wei smirked, dismissing her correction. “Whatever, they’re both the same thing!”

“T-They are not the same!” Wu Xue instinctively objected, unable to let the matter go.

Zhang Wei’s face twitched, questioning her priorities. ‘Does she really want to fight me over this?’

Even the system was stunned by her choice of argument.

Regardless, Zhang Wei sighed, his gaze locked with Wu Xue’s eyes. “Girl, you’ve been staring at me for quite a long time, both today and yesterday… Did you, by chance… interested in me?” he asked, his voice filled with curiosity.

Wu Xue’s face instantly turned slightly red, caught off guard by the question.

“No!” she yelled, her response instinctual.

She closed her eyes tightly, her eyelashes trembling with embarrassment.

“Huh?” Zhang Wei showed a bewildered look, his mind questioning the unexpected reaction. ‘Did I stumble upon something I shouldn’t have?’ he wondered, slightly confused.

He had only spoken out of random curiosity, never anticipating that his guess would hit the mark.
