While she was giving her explanation in a rush, she did not notice that Han Qing’s car had gone in a different direction. They were supposed to be on the main road, but they were now driving on a smaller road. However, she only noticed when the car came to a full stop.
“W-Where is this place?” As Yan asked, she turned around and took in the view outside. She wanted to take a step further and stick her head out the car window.
When her head was only halfway out, however, Han Qing held her wrist and used his other hand to pull her head back in. “Don’t stick your head out of car windows like that. It’s dangerous.”
In an instant, her head was pulled back inside and the car window slowly went back up, quickly sealing the space they were in. Feeling doubtful, she turned to look at him. “I won’t stick my head out if you don’t want me to, but why did you close the window…” She started to stammer halfway through as she saw the longing in his eyes grow more intense.
“W-What is it?” Her body must have reacted before she did as her hands stuck out against his chest to stop him from getting close to her. She finally reacted. Did he drive us here on purpose? Did he intentionally change directions to stop here?
When Yan realized that, her heart started to race incredibly fast. Is he going to kiss me again? Her mind was running wild. The man in front of her was already leaning toward her. She retracted a few inches while using her hands to block his chest. “What the heck? It’s daytime now and we’re outside.” Even though we can stop the car here, people and cars will still pass by. How can we…
In contrast, Han Qing was not in a rush. He looked at her dark red lips and said in a low voice, “Did you know that I dropped all my work and went to you today just because of your message?”
She was taken aback as she did not think he would bring that up out of the blue. Still, she felt wronged and uneasy. “I-I merely asked you. I didn’t think you would actually come. Plus, if you were busy at work, you could have said no to me.” As she reached the end of her sentence, her breathing became unstable. Because of that, the strength she was using to push against him weakened, and he used that chance to lean even closer to her.
“How can I say no to my girlfriend?”
“Even so. If you feel like the request is irrational, you can always refuse.” Yan was so nervous that she broke into a cold sweat. The more he talked, the closer he leaned into her. She did not have the strength to push against him anymore.
Then, she heard his low mocking voice. “What if I don’t want to refuse?”
That low mocking voice was incredibly attractive to her. It penetrated right into her heart and enveloped it. She froze in her spot as she watched that handsome face in front of her get bigger and bigger.
The familiar breath pulled her in closer. Right before they kissed, she heard him say in his low voice, “Since I’m already here, I’m going to have to ask for some compensation.”
Before she could reply to him, he kissed her. Throughout the whole thing, Yan did not move on her own. After all, it was daytime and they were outside, so she was incredibly anxious. She did not dare to do anything else and just followed his lead. Halfway through, due to her nerves, she accidentally scratched his neck. Upon hearing him wince, she quickly let go.
“Do you have to hurt me at least once every time to be satisfied? What sort of peculiar fetish is that?”
“I didn’t do it on purpose…” After she was kissed, her eyes were dazzling. She looked adorable and especially delicate.
At that moment, he could not help himself and leaned in again. They did not know how much time had passed. Yan had also lost sense of where she was. She just knew that her hands were forcefully pulled by Han Qing so that they were around his waist and she was holding onto him. Then, he continued to kiss her.
Much later, she had fallen into a daze. Then, he started the car and left the place. When they arrived at the building of the Han Group, she finally had a sense of how much time had passed. What the f*ck?
She remained silent as she pressed herself into the seat and pretended she was dead. Just let me die quietly. Don’t come and look for me.
Just then, Han Qing opened her door. “Come out.”
Yan stayed in her seat and did not want to move. She just wanted to turn into a hamster and not go anywhere. Knowing that she was embarrassed, he smiled and tried to convince her, “Hurry. I still have some things to deal with later.”
Only at the mention of his work did she lift her head lazily and ask in a small voice, “What things? Is it work?”
“Mm.”
“You can go in by yourself. I’ll just wait for you here.” After she was kissed for so long by the side of the road, she felt like she needed to calm down for a bit and was unable to go in with him. She readjusted herself then continued to pretend she was dead.
When he saw that she was adamant about not moving, he bent down and stuck half of his body in the car to unbuckle her seatbelt then lift her in his arms.
“Ah!” she exclaimed. Both of her hands instinctively wrapped around his neck. “Let me down.”
“Didn’t you want me to carry you since you don’t feel like walking?” He held her tightly, then bent down a bit to indicate to her to close the car door.
She was about to cry. When did I ever want him to carry me? I really wanted to pretend to be dead in the car, okay? Also, letting him carry me into the company? What a joke. What kind of person will that make me?
Upon closing the car door, she immediately requested him to put her down. Han Qing was tall, while Yan was on the shorter side. In addition, she was thin, so she was smaller in frame overall. To him, carrying her did not strain him at all, so he did not see a problem with carrying her upstairs.
However, she felt out of place. At the moment, there is no one around because we’re in the parking lot. But when we get in the elevator later, what if we bump into someone we know? How will I meet people again in the future?
Nevertheless, her worst nightmare came true. Before they entered the elevator, they were met with Secretary Su who was coming out of it, along with a group of executives from the Han Group.
The whole elevator of people looked at the usually serious President Han carrying a young woman in his arms in front of them. She was squirming in his embrace but he had no intention of putting her down. Yan was silent and so was the group of executives.
Su Jiu’s eyebrows shot up, and she could not help but smile. When she met Yan’s eyes, she even winked a few times at her. To Yan, that scene felt like a bolt from the blue. Without waiting for Han Qing to respond, she quickly struggled to get out of his embrace then hid behind him; she was too afraid to meet anyone.
Han Qing smiled, then his expression went back to normal. “Not coming out? How long do you want to stand in there for?”
