“Love?” This word covered Pao Mei’s face with a misty expression. Finally, she shook her head and said in an deliberately high-pitched tone: “Don’t talk to me about such unrealistic words. I only know that since I agreed to this arrangement, I have no choice. Anyway, whether I stick my head out or pull it back, it’s still a knife! As long as I can take care of the big picture!”
What stick out or pull back? A certain thought made Yue Qing’s expression change. He suddenly leaned close to her, “Are you really that eager to go to bed with me?”
“Hmm…” Pao Mei lightly coughed twice, wanting to nod in agreement, but involuntarily shifted her buttocks. Damn! Why is he sitting so close!?
“Okay, I’ll fulfill you,” Yue Qing pulled her up, urging: “But we need to be quick, at least finish before Shao Zun arrives.”
“What?” Pao Mei threw off his hand, her almond eyes wide, “Shao is coming?”
“We made an appointment to discuss something,” Yue Qing spread his hands, with a look of waiting to see what happens.
“Then you guys chat, chat slowly,” Pao Mei waved her hand, eager to say goodbye.
“No rush, even if he comes, let him wait downstairs while we finish our business.”
“No need, I said no need.”
Looking at the figure hurriedly saying goodbye, Yue Qing couldn’t help but smile.
Until she was far away, Yue Qing turned and went upstairs, returned to the room, and called Shao Zun – the fabricated visitor of the night.
He directly mentioned Xiao Yao’s matter. “Help her get a job in your company.”
“Given our friendship, of course it’s no problem. She can come and report for work anytime. But… who is this woman? When did you become so enthusiastic?” Shao Zun asked.
“A friend.” The answer couldn’t be more concise.
“Oh,” Shao Zun’s voice sounded strange, “Friends come in many types. Does that woman know about this?”
“Which woman?” Yue Qing deliberately played dumb.
“Of course, Su Pao Mei! Your wife!”
“You clearly know our relationship, no need to say it like that. She knows Xiao Yao, so she came specifically this time, but didn’t achieve her purpose and left,” Yue Qing said casually.
“Purpose? What was her purpose?” Shao Zun immediately asked.
“She came to sleep with me.” As soon as the words came out, Yue Qing clearly heard a suspicious loud noise on the other end of the phone. “Shao Zun? Are you still there?”
After calling for a long time, finally came Shao Zun’s weak groan: “I’m here, just not sure if I’m still in one piece.”
“What happened to you?”
“Nothing, just slipped. My grandmother’s words are true, you really can’t listen to ghost stories in the middle of the night.”
“Ghost stories?” Who talked about ghosts? Or… who is the ghost?
“Well, anything like spirits can be considered.”
Yue Qing laughed. This guy Shao Zun, speaking in a way that makes people want to die, his specialty is making the listener feel the same way. And the most classic effect is seen in his fiancée Su Pao Mei. Perhaps…
Yue Qing said seriously: “I think we should find time to talk about Su Pao Mei’s matter.”
The other end suddenly fell silent for a moment, then loudly said: “Okay, what’s the problem? But I’m saying this first, don’t expect me to give you sex tips to indirectly benefit that woman.”
“Then directly, how?”
The message was interrupted again. After a moment, Shao Zun sighed and slowly said: “Do you really hate me so much?” After speaking, he burst into loud laughter.
Yue Qing was also laughing.
But both had a thoughtful expression on their faces…
For Xiao Yao, all the good things were about to begin.
Her parents finally agreed to her relationship with Yue Qing and let her accept the job he introduced.
On the day of the interview, she got up especially early, with an extraordinarily excited and expectant mood… looking forward to meeting him.
As the number of meetings increased, this expectation also increased.
She would involuntarily miss Yue Qing after every parting.
She thought she had truly fallen in love with him.
Looking at herself in the dressing mirror, Xiao Yao’s expression was solemn.
Because she knew that every step she was about to take would mark the most important milestone of her life.
For Xiao Yao, love was naive. Even if some sense of gain and loss was vaguely at work, she still didn’t want to think too much. She only knew to look forward to and cherish every meeting, letting sweetness fill her entire heart.
That was enough.
Was it enough? Thinking of Zhima’s words, Xiao Yao couldn’t help but blush—
“What? Not even a kiss!? Oh my god! It’s the space age, and you’re still playing the hand-holding game? How did I teach you? Young lady! In the end, after all this time, nothing happened!”
Nothing? No! There really was!
Xiao Yao recalled the night in the park when they were nestled close together, feeling his heartbeat, touching his warmth, and capturing his breath…
Suddenly, the doorbell rang.
He’s here! Xiao Yao hurriedly got up to open the door, secretly glad that her parents were not home, sparing her some “running the gauntlet”.
“You… come in and sit down, I’ll be ready soon.”
“Don’t rush, take your time. I’ll wait.”
After showing him to a seat, Xiao Yao let out a breath in her room.
She had to admit that she truly had “desire” for him – seeing his elegant smile, she wanted to get closer, to nestle into his broad, solid arms, to embrace… to completely, thoroughly embrace him.
“I’m ready to go.” Picking up her bag, she walked out of the room.
“Ready?” He stood up, his gaze fixed on her.
A small jacket with a neutral suit collar, an A-line skirt in the same color system, the soft pink hues contrasting with her snow-white skin. Though it was a more formal outfit, it radiated a vibrant, bright charm.
“Yes.” Xiao Yao felt nervous under his gaze, hastily adjusting her pink-purple dress. “Is there… something wrong? Should I change into another outfit—”
“No need, no problem.” Jue Qing smiled and shook his head. The only problem was his overly stunning mood.
“So, do I look okay?” She wanted to fish for more compliments.
“Fine.”
“Oh. Just fine? Well, okay then.” Was it really just that?
Seeing her awkward restraint, Jue Qing couldn’t help but laugh. “Let me put it another way. You look beautiful today. Any normal man would be moved by the sight.”
“Uh—” Ah! She had gotten the praise she craved, yet he delivered it with this seemingly joking attitude. Was it really a joke? Xiao Yao, stunned for a moment, finally raised her face.
She asked playfully, “What about you? Are you normal?”
He said nothing, just gazing deeply at her, allowing their eyes to intertwine, unconsciously stepping closer.
Leaning in, he kissed her forehead, then quickly wrapped his arms around her.
Xiao Yao felt a hot current rapidly surge through her body, her breathing accelerating, her excited blood rushing…
Everything happened so suddenly, but, unexpectedly, it also ended abruptly.
His forceful arms suddenly loosened, draping over her shoulders, patting twice. “If we don’t leave now, we’ll be late.” As soon as he finished speaking, he immediately turned and strode out.
Did he have to leave so urgently? Xiao Yao followed behind, frowning.
Jue Qing, maintaining his lead, was giving himself more time to adjust his emotions.
He was afraid that if he didn’t take her away from that room, he might not be able to leave… How much he longed to feel her soft body pressed against him!
But did she know?
Feeling her unusual silence, he slowed his steps, reached out to catch her hand naturally, and whispered something.
This time, Xiao Yao heard it clearly! He said – “I’m definitely a normal man.”
In the CEO’s office of Shao Trading Company.
Xiao Yao studied the man sitting in the office chair.
