His gentle demeanor made her uneasy; every time he used this tactic, she was at a loss. Ah! Had he already discovered her soft-hearted nature? That’s not good!
“Stop changing the subject!” She found it strange to try to resume her cold expression.
“Okay, we were talking about you getting thinner,” he said in a very obedient manner. “Look, you’ve really gotten thinner, your waist is slimmer, and there’s less flesh here…” His large hand roamed over her body, causing her to feel weak.
“Long Jie!” she blushed and scolded.
“I really miss you!” He gazed into her eyes. “I miss these black and white, bright eyes of yours. There’s always a special radiance on your face that makes work feel like enjoyment. Seeing you enjoy work, I can’t believe you’d let go of all this, let go of the man who loves you.”
His sincere and serious tone touched her.
“Stop talking about love and all that, think about your image. Besides, you actually wrote those things in the public electronic newsletter…”
“Shh…” His finger pressed against her lips. “Of course I want everyone in the company to know I love you. I’m sorry for making you feel wronged before. I hadn’t tasted the flavor of loving a woman, so I was clumsy and awkward.”
Her slender hand fell into his large palm, suddenly strongly aware of the fact that he was a man and she was a woman. No matter how strong she was, he would always jump out to protect her when needed.
“It’s not necessary. Actually, I’m just not happy about people talking about me like that. After all, I never considered dating someone at the executive level before,” she said, pouting.
“I know I’m not up to par,” he smiled bitterly. “But please don’t abandon me because of that.”
She laughed. “Idiot!” She playfully hit him.
He held her hand.
Under his gaze, she suppressed the smile on her face. His focused look tightly gripped her heart. It was this occasional side of him that attracted her! That’s why she would disregard her principles and get entangled with an executive-level person.
His hand lifted her chin, his fingers lingering and caressing. His rough fingertips slid across her tender lips, and she gently sucked on them.
He trembled.
