After Letting My Guard Down, I Got Trapped by a Yandere CEO - Chapter 27:

Chapter 27: Bunnies Are So Cute, Of Course They’re For…

After walking for about 20 minutes, the employees of Lingxue Group finally arrived at the campsite.

Beyond layers of forest, there was a clearing at the center of the woods. Walk another ten minutes forward, and one would reach the Lingquan Waterfall. Since the whole area had been booked out, the camping zone was completely empty, with only a stack of tents and barbecue grills piled in a corner.

Fortunately, the clearing was large enough to accommodate 200 people with ease.

Jiang Zhao was excited—after all, this was his first time participating in a group camping trip.

Soon, under the management team’s instructions, the staff split into two teams. One group set up tents, the other started fires and prepared meals. Everything was clearly organized.

Jiang Zhao called over Gao Jianxiang and the other three and started assembling a grill, preparing to cook something quick to fill their stomachs.

Meanwhile, Qin Lingxue noticed something and walked toward a nearby bush. A while later, she returned, holding a small white rabbit that was struggling in her hand.

Seeing her return, Jiang Zhao—who had just finished setting up the grill—asked curiously, “You suddenly want to raise a rabbit?”

Could it be that his wife was finally showing some girlish interests? It made sense—rabbits were so cute. Who wouldn’t like them?

Qin Lingxue, holding the rabbit by its ears, looked completely serious and said, “I want grilled rabbit. With extra chili.”

Rabbit: “…”

Jiang Zhao: “…”

Clearly, he had overthought it. Who would’ve guessed that cold and aloof CEO Qin was also a hidden foodie?

“No problem. Leave it to me. I’ll roast it till it’s juicy and tender!” Jiang Zhao rolled up his sleeves, took the rabbit from Qin Lingxue, and pulled out a gleaming kitchen knife from behind him. He gave the rabbit a gentle smile and said, “Don’t worry. My knife skills are fast. It’ll only hurt for a second.”

Rabbit: “Squeak squeak!”

Don’t come near me!!!

Qin Lingxue found a small stool and sat beside the grill, propping her chin with her hand and watching Jiang Zhao focus on preparing the rabbit.

A man who worked seriously… was really attractive!

Seeing this, Gao Jianxiang—who was helping nearby—leaned in and chuckled, “Brother Jiang, how’d you manage to win over a goddess like CEO Qin? Do you have any secret tricks? Teach us, please?”

Yang Wei and Cai Kun immediately joined, their faces eager and attentive.

Jiang Zhao raised an eyebrow. “You really want to know?”

Gao Jianxiang said, “Of course! Brother Jiang, we’re begging you here!”

Yang Wei added, “Yeah! I want to confess to Hu Min. Teach us something useful!”

Cai Kun said, “Brother Jiang, how about this—you teach me how to flirt, and I’ll teach you basketball. I’m really good, and I have a secret killer move: Iron Mountain Lean!”

Seeing their desperate faces, Jiang Zhao coughed twice, leaned in, and whispered, “When it comes to chasing girls, the key is being assertive!”

“Think about it—if the girl has feelings for you, all she’s waiting for is you to take the first step. If she doesn’t, no matter how long you waste your time, it’ll never happen.”

Hearing this, the three of them had a sudden realization and gave him a thumbs-up with admiration.

Genius!

Absolutely genius!

No wonder he managed to win over someone as cold as CEO Qin. Truly a role model for the rest of us!

Soon, a rich aroma of grilled meat drifted from the grill, making everyone’s mouths water.

The once plump and white rabbit now had crispy skin and juicy meat, glowing golden from inside out.

After sprinkling on seasoning, Jiang Zhao tore off a rabbit leg and handed it to the long-drooling Qin Lingxue. She took it happily and began eating with satisfaction.

Not far away, rows of tents had been set up. Dozens of cooking fires were burning on the clearing, sending delicious meaty smells wafting through the air.

After eating their fill, Jiang Zhao and Qin Lingxue sat leaning under a big tree, enjoying the shade. Out of the corner of his eye, Jiang Zhao noticed two figures nearby.

It was Yang Wei and the girl he had liked for years—Hu Min.

Thinking about what Jiang Zhao had taught him, Yang Wei clenched his teeth, reached out, and wrapped his arm around Hu Min’s neck, causing her face to instantly blush. Then he said seriously, “Hu Min, I’ve liked you for a long time. Your presence is like a beam of light that brightened my gloomy life. Will you be my girlfriend?”

Behind another tree, Gao Jianxiang and Cai Kun nervously watched the scene, their palms sweating.

They saw Hu Min lower her head, her fair cheeks tinged with red, and then… she nodded gently.

That said it all.

Yang Wei’s face lit up with joy. He didn’t expect it to actually work! Overcome with excitement, he hugged Hu Min and gave a thumbs-up toward the tree behind them.

Gao Jianxiang, overwhelmed with emotion, said, “Damn! That really worked?!”

“No way, I’ve gotta try too. I’m going to confess to my goddess!”

Cai Kun, however, decided to wait and see if Gao Jianxiang succeeded before making his move.

Under the shade, Qin Lingxue watched the two embracing figures and felt a hint of envy rise in her heart.

Getting confessed to… must feel nice.

Noticing her expression, Jiang Zhao felt slightly anxious and began silently reviewing the steps for his confession plan that night.

Elsewhere…

Gao Jianxiang found Jiang Xiaoyu, who was reading a book in her tent. She glanced at him coolly and said, “What do you want?”

Gao Jianxiang gathered his courage, stepped forward, and said, “Xiao Yu, I’ve liked you since the first day you joined the company. Let’s date!”

The air fell silent for a moment.

Jiang Xiaoyu quietly closed her book, stood up, and picked up a spare kitchen knife from the corner of the tent. The sight of it made Gao Jianxiang jump and instinctively take several steps back. His voice trembled, “Xiao… Xiao Yu, what are you doing with that knife?”

Jiang Xiaoyu replied flatly, “Killing dogs.”

The knife’s edge pointed directly at him, and Gao Jianxiang took off running, too scared to stay any longer.

“Tch. With guts that small, and you dare confess to me?” Jiang Xiaoyu muttered as she watched him flee in panic. She calmly set down the knife, returned to her seat, and picked up her book with interest again.
