Ignored

A neatly dressed Gu Anbao was taken to the President's office.

As they stopped outside the door, the two ladies who were leading the way began to look a little cautious. Gu Anbao was gradually affected by their nervousness and began to feel apprehensive as well…

What… was… going on?…

Just then, a male assistant walked out of the office. Seeing that Cheryl and Lu Lu had got the robot, he lowered his voice and said, "The devil king is in a very bad mood today…"

Cheryl and Lu Lu exchanged glances as their expressions became increasingly more taut and fearful as if there was a fierce beast in the office.

Devil king? Who is that…

Gu Anbao thought blankly.

Cheryl knocked on the door.

"Come in." A low, manly voice laced with impatience was heard.

Cheryl pushed Gu Anbao in. "Director Chen, this is the custom-made robot you ordered."

…?!!

Gu Anbao stared at the man before her, astounded——

Chen Yuheng?!

A pair of deep-set, dark eyes swept over and landed fixedly on Gu Anbao.

So, so frightening…

She stood stiffly without making a single movement. In her heart, she thought about how she would most likely have suffered from a heart attack due to her disorderly heartbeat if she wasn't a robot right now.

"Director Chen, if you have no other orders, we will be leaving now." It was obvious that Cheryl and Lu Lu were hoping to leave the danger zone as soon as they could, to avoid the devil king's rage.

Chen Yuheng nodded his head slightly, and the two ladies retreated speedily, closing the door behind them.

Following that, Gu Anbao was forced to accept the President's scrutinizing gaze. She saw how he swept his gaze over her from head to toe before she witnessed… him furrowing his eyebrows.

Does… he… not like me? Gu Anbao thought.

Her fingers tugged at her skirt's hemline uneasily.

Her clothes were similar to that of a nurse, in an extremely soft pale pink color. The sleeves and hemline of her skirt were sown with indecent lace.

Yes, it was a feeling of indecency.

Lace on a nurse's outfit would definitely look indecent no matter how one looked at it.

So… Did he not like it because of her clothes?

The sound of buttons being pressed was heard. She raised her head, only to see him dialing a number on the telephone placed on his table while also turning on the phone's speaker.

"Duu—— Duu—— Duu…"

He looked at her with his eyebrows furrowed while waiting for the other end of the line to connect. He spun the black felt-tip pen in his hand rapidly between his fingers, displaying his frustration and foul mood.

The call finally connected.

"Hi! Yuheng! Is something the matter? I am in the middle of a meeting overseas right now, so please, keep it short."

Gu Anbao's eyes widened.

Wasn't he lying?… She could hear the clamorous singing and dancing from the other end of the line.

Evidently, Chen Yuheng was not interested in exposing the other party. He looked at Gu Anbao indifferently as he said, "I've just seen the product."

"Oh! How is it? Do you like the new model? Isn't it exciting? Haha!" A burst of reverberating excited laughter was heard.

Gu Anbao lowered her head uncomfortably.

Why… did he use the word 'exciting' to describe her…

Chen Yuheng slowly stood up and walked over to Gu Anbao impatiently. His expression… turned even uglier!

The man on the other line continued, "It is a robot that closely emulates a human being! It's microchip and sensor system is the best. The sensitivity and coordination are incomparable. It is definitely a win over the SOF11 model from Ghana Fly company…"

Chen Yuheng snorted coldly when he heard that.

The man seemed to have sensed something amiss, his voice lowering for no reason as if he had insufficient lung power. "… Ugh… Not only does it possess the technical abilities that a normal companion robot would have, but I've also implanted an autonomous system. Upgrading its software is not required, the robot can improve itself…"

Chen Yuheng used his pen to poke at Gu Anbao's fox ears carelessly. "Indeed, you did add quite a lot of things."

The man on the other line didn't dare to utter another word.

"What's going on with the ears and the tail, huh?" The pen in Chen Yuheng's hand glided down from Gu Anbao's head and stopped on her huge… bosom. He poked them a little. "And these breasts! Can you please explain to me, what's the substantial function behind giving a companion robot an F-cup bosom?"

In an instant, Gu Anbao's face turned extremely red!

He, he, he, he, he…. poked her bosom!

Chen Yuheng was increasingly dissatisfied. "You even added a skin warming system?" This robot could actually blush!

The other end of the line was completely silent…

After a long time, a weak voice was heard. "Didn't you say that you wanted a robot mate…"

Seemed like… There had been a huge mistake.

Chen Yuheng turned back and returned to his desk. He had a strong impulse to toss his phone out.

"Good… very good… A win over the SOF11, is that it?" Chen Yuheng sneered as he knocked the pen in his hand against the surface of the table. "SexOfLove11, sex, love, mate, companion, robot. Ace, I remembered that I told you that I needed a robot model that could be both a companion and a nurse, with capabilities to look after another! Did you not read the requirement file I gave you? Acting all smart and creating such a toy?! The nurses at the residence have been ousted by the Old Master left and right, and you want me to send an F-cup sized robot to him? Are you upset that my old man's life isn't long enough?!!"

The last sentence was forced out through the gaps of his gritted teeth.

Gu Anbao quietly… embraced her bosom with both her arms as she shrunk a few steps back…

It seemed as if… She was disliked…

The other end of the call remained quiet. Only the sounds of the chaotic music mixed with people having fun continued to be heard.

Chen Yuheng's voice turned increasingly gloomy and cold. "Ace, speak up!"

"… Ah?… Oh, oh! Yuheng, this… The reception here isn't really good, what did you say earlier? Hello?… Eh? Strange, why can't I hear anything… Hello, hello?…. Duu—"

The call was abruptly cut…

When he called again, the number was not within the area of reception…

Bang!——

The phone was smashed harshly onto the ground by Chen Yuheng!

Gu Anbao was trembling in fear… Silently, she took a few steps back.

… So fierce…

She lowered her head, trying her best to diminish her existence.

However, Chen Yuheng had looked over at her…

As Chen Yuheng looked at the robot that had retreated to standing against the wall, he massaged his forehead moodily.

Recently, his mood had been down in the dumps. It was extremely lousy!

One of the founders of the RK, Pei Lijun, had suddenly left the company, taking away not just a part of the technological achievements, but also a group of members that formed the backbone of the company. The company was thrown into unrest, affecting its stock value… With so many issues at hand, Ace was not only of no help but was hiding overseas… And now he was pretending to lose contact with him…

Nothing around him, be it people or matters, seemed to be able to progress smoothly.

For example, this robot before him…

With her ears drooping down, looking all pitiful as she cowered away into the corner. He really didn't understand what Ace was even thinking! A win over SOL11?… What was so great about surpassing an inflatable doll?!

Chen Yuheng picked up his coat angrily and opened the door to the office, slamming it behind him as he left.

Gu Anbao was the only one left in the President's office. Hugging herself, she leaned against the wall as she began to crouch down. Her mind was in a mess.

How had things turned out like this…

She recalled what had happened one week ago.

A week ago, she was still human. A week ago, she had just met him…
