Chapter 274: Seduction that Backfired
Ever since the fierce conflict with Fang Wenwen at the party, Gu Qingyue clearly felt that Jiang Chengjun's attitude towards her had subtly changed.
In the past, although Jiang Chengjun was friendly to her, there was always a sense of distance between them. But now, when Jiang Chengjun faced her, there was a little more concern in his eyes and the communication was more frequent.
Gu Qingyue was secretly delighted in her heart. She was sure that this was a great opportunity for her to fight back against Fang Wenwen. As long as she could completely conquer Jiang Chengjun and become the closest person to him, she would be able to deal a fatal blow to Fang Wenwen.
In Gu Qingyue's opinion, seduction is the most direct and effective way to conquer a man. So, she carefully planned an action that she thought was perfect.
Gu Qingyue spent a lot of money to buy a sexy evening dress. It was a bright red off-shoulder dress that perfectly outlined her figure.
The neckline was very low, perfectly showing off her fair skin and graceful collarbone.
She also had her hair done, and her big wavy hair was casually draped over her shoulders, exuding a mature and charming vibe.
In terms of makeup, she chose a strong retro style, with fiery red lips and slightly upturned cat-eye eyeliner, making her look very charming.
After everything was ready, Gu Qingyue sent a message to Jiang Chengjun: "Brother Chengjun, I found a very stylish restaurant. Are you free tonight to try it together?"
Not long after, Jiang Chengjun replied: "Okay, I also have some work-related matters that I want to talk to you about." Seeing this reply, Gu Qingyue was secretly proud of herself. She felt that everything was going according to her plan.
In the evening, Gu Qingyue arrived at the restaurant early.
The restaurant is luxuriously decorated, with crystal chandeliers casting soft light. Each table is placed with exquisite candlesticks and beautiful roses, creating a romantic and ambiguous atmosphere.
Jiang Chengjun arrived on time.
When he walked into the restaurant, he saw Gu Qingyue sitting by the window.
He was slightly startled, a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes, but he quickly regained his composure.
He greeted Gu Qingyue politely and sat down opposite her.
"Qingyue, you are... very different today." Jiang Chengjun said, with an elusive meaning in his tone.
Gu Qingyue thought Jiang Chengjun was attracted by her beauty and was secretly delighted.
She tilted her head slightly, a charming smile appeared on the corner of her mouth, and said, "Brother Chengjun, do you like the way I look today? I dressed up especially for you."
As she spoke, she gently lifted the hair beside her ear, her eyes full of suggestion.
After hearing this, Jiang Chengjun frowned slightly, and a feeling of discomfort quietly rose from the bottom of his heart.
He didn't like this kind of suggestive conversation, and he was a little uncomfortable with such deliberate flattery and temptation. But his years of upbringing made him smile politely and didn't respond.
During the meal, Gu Qingyue kept finding topics to chat with Jiang Chengjun.
She deliberately moved closer to Jiang Chengjun, and the hot air she exhaled gently brushed Jiang Chengjun's cheek when she spoke, and the spring light on her chest was faintly visible.
"Brother Chengjun, how do you think we should proceed with this project next?" She said as she gently placed her hand on Jiang Chengjun's arm, her eyes full of anticipation.
Jiang Chengjun suddenly felt uncomfortable all over. He subconsciously tightened the muscles in his arms, as if to resist this offense.
He moved his body with some disgust, gently pulled back his arm, cleared his throat, and said, "Regarding the project, I think we still need to start with market research and deeply analyze user needs."
He tried his best to keep his eyes on Gu Qingyue's face and avoid looking elsewhere, but the boredom in his heart continued to spread.
Gu Qingyue thought Jiang Chengjun was shy, so she became even bolder.
She picked up the wine glass, took a sip of red wine, then licked her lips with her tongue and said, "Brother Chengjun, I understand what you said. In fact, I care more about your opinion of me. I am really happy to be with you during this period of time. I think there is a special tacit understanding between us."
Jiang Chengjun's eyes flashed with contempt. He felt that Gu Qingyue's behavior at the moment was vulgar and boring. It seemed that the rumors about her were not groundless.
He put down the knife and fork in his hand, his expression became serious, and with a hint of coldness in his tone, he said: "Qingyue, I have always regarded you as a friend, and I admire your talent. I hope that our communication will be based on work and common interests, rather than other aspects."
Gu Qingyue didn't understand what Jiang Chengjun meant. She thought Jiang Chengjun was pretending to be reserved.
She stood up, walked around the table to Jiang Chengjun, then slowly sat on his lap, put her arms around his neck, and said in a tender voice: "Brother Chengjun, don't say that, I know you have a good impression of me, otherwise you wouldn't be so nice to me."
Jiang Chengjun's face turned pale in an instant, and a feeling of being offended surged in his heart.
He pushed Gu Qingyue away from his legs with force, his tone full of disgust: "Gu Qingyue, you are too much! I have always respected you, but I didn't expect you to do such a thing.
Your behavior makes me feel sick. After you mess up our relationship, I'm afraid it will be hard for it to be the same again."
At this moment, his eyes were full of disappointment and disdain when he looked at Gu Qingyue, as if the person in front of him was an extremely strange and vulgar existence.
Gu Qingyue was shocked by Jiang Chengjun's reaction. She didn't expect that her carefully planned seduction would backfire. She hurriedly tidied her clothes and said, "Brother Chengjun, don't be angry. I just like you too much and acted on impulse."
Jiang Chengjun's eyes still showed undisguised contempt: "Gu Qingyue, your behavior will only make me look down on you even more. I like you because of your seriousness and hard work at work, not your vulgar seduction methods.
Let's just pretend that what happened today never happened, and let's keep a proper distance from each other in the future." After saying that, Jiang Chengjun turned around and left the restaurant without looking back, leaving Gu Qingyue sitting there alone, with tears in her eyes.
Gu Qingyue couldn't understand it. She originally thought that as long as she was sexy and charming enough, she could easily conquer Jiang Chengjun. However, she didn't expect that her behavior not only failed to win Jiang Chengjun's favor, but made him hate her even more.
She sat in the restaurant, looking at the night view outside the window, her heart filled with regret and loss.
At this time, other guests in the restaurant cast strange looks at her. Gu Qingyue felt like a clown, making a fool of herself in front of everyone.
She held back her tears, picked up her bag, and hurriedly left the restaurant.
The next day, Gu Qingyue received a message from Fang Wenwen.
"Gu Qingyue, I heard that you had a date with Jiang Chengjun last night. How was it? Did it go well? Did you make a fool of yourself and become disliked by Brother Chengjun?" Fang Wenwen's tone was filled with sarcasm.
Gu Qingyue's anger burned in her heart, and she shouted, "Fang Wenwen, don't be complacent, this matter is not over yet!"
Gu Qingyue knew that her plan this time had completely failed and had put herself in an even more embarrassing situation.
I returned home with a tired body, lay on the bed, staring at the ceiling, unable to fall asleep for a long time.
Gu Qingyue's heart was filled with confusion and bewilderment, but her eyes revealed a hint of determination.
She knows that the road ahead is full of challenges, but she will never give up easily.
She must find her own way out in this vortex of love and revenge, even at the cost of anything.
She knew that the road ahead would be even more difficult, but she had no way out and could only move forward.
She kept thinking and planning her next plan in her mind, trying to find a way to save the situation.
