I can do whatever I want? Yan looked at him at a loss, her eyes teary.
“Or do you never listen to me at all?” he asked.
Yan quickly shook her head. “No. I will never ignore what you say. I remember every word you told me.”
“So why are you still so afraid of me?”
Yan couldn’t answer that. Love begets worry, and worry begets fear. She couldn’t tell him that she was being afraid because she loved him too much, but he rejected her every advance back then. She couldn’t tell him she was insecure, and that she would wake up in the middle of the night, thinking that this might be a dream. She thought this dream was too beautiful and too good to be true. Yan sometimes thought that she was just a passerby in a dream world, a world where everything was not real.
“You silly girl.” He sighed, then the man hugged her and placed his chin on her head. He said with resignation, “You have to trust me more, or to be exact, you have to trust yourself more.” Yan closed her eyes as she leaned against him. “You love me, yes, but I love you too.”
He sounded gentle and soft as he told her what he felt deep down. Yan could feel herself being filled up by love, so she nodded, almost crying. “Okay.”
“Will you hide from me again?” he asked.
Yan shook her head. “No. I will face everything with you. I will never run.” After she had calmed down and thought about it, nothing really did happen back there. She overreacted because she was too nervous and insecure, so she had to conquer these emotions after this.
“Alright, then let’s talk about what you said earlier.”
Huh? What I said just now? What did I say just now? Yan blinked, then she had a bad feeling about what was to happen.
Han Qing backed off and stared at her. “I heard you said you want to…”
He smiled faintly at her and didn’t finish what he had to say. Even so, Yan blushed quickly, then the woman went to cover his mouth and gasped, “Nonsense! I said nothing at all!”
“Oh?” Han Qing smiled, then he breathed into her palm. She could feel his breath, and it was burning her hand like fire. It almost scalded her, so the woman quickly pulled her hand back, but Han Qing grabbed it. “Why are you avoiding me?” he asked raspily. “I thought you said you wouldn’t do this anymore. Did you forget what you just said?”
Yan replied, “What we said just now is different.” She was saying that she wouldn’t be so over-sensitive anymore, not this. “You twisted the meaning of what I said!”
“Oh, really? Weren’t you the one who said she wouldn’t run anymore?” No matter what she had to say, Han Qing didn’t plan to let her go. He leaned closer to her as they spoke, their scent mingling together.
“E-Even if I was the one who said it, s-so what? I-I was just—”
“It doesn’t matter.” Han Qing grabbed her hand again, then he kissed her forehead. “What matters is that you’ve said it.”
D*mn it. Yan had the feeling that she had gotten herself into trouble. She was just saying that for fun in the office earlier. He can’t really be dragging me out there, can he? As she dwelled in her thoughts, Han Qing scooped her up in his arms and exited the waiting room, much to Yan’s shock. “Wait!” She quickly grabbed his collar, her eyes wide. “Are you being serious? I was just joking, so…”
Han Qing stopped in his tracks and looked at her with a faint smile. “Oh, you were joking? But I took it seriously, so how are we going to deal with this?”
“Y-You took it seriously? Impossible.” Yan almost lost her voice. Her lips were chattering, and she started stuttering.
“You don’t believe me?” Han Qing put her on the sofa and held himself against the armrest, locking her within his arms, surrounding her with his pheromones.
Yan shrunk a bit, and for the first time, she knew what panic felt like. Holy sh*t, we’re in the office. I am not that kinky yet. She came here frequently, so if she and Han Qing were to do it in this place, the woman would be unable to treat everything here as normal ever again. At the thought of that, Yan felt that she should say something to save the situation. “Um, we’re in the office, s-so it’s n-not good if we do it here…”
“Really?” He smiled. “Don’t you think this place is perfectly fine?” He leaned over and kissed her on the neck and went down on her collarbone. When she felt his warm breath on her, Yan felt electrified and shuddered all over.
Yan’s hands that were on his collar were clenched, and she felt incredibly nervous. “L-Listen to me. I-It’s not appropriate here. Why don’t we change places?” What am I talking about? Why am I making it look like I want it? Yan really wanted to bite her tongue off and kill herself. Oh my god.
Just when she was about to cry from panic, Han Qing suddenly leaned against her neck and chuckled before tidying up her shirt. Then, he held the back of her head and patted it. “Alright, don’t be scared. I won’t do this to you at this place.”
Oh, are we not going on with this? Yan breathed a sigh of relief and slowly calmed down. “Don’t be scared,” he called her down and kissed her on her forehead. “Tidy yourself up. Muzi came earlier. I think she wanted to talk to me.”
When Han Muzi was mentioned, Yan remembered how she was left behind earlier, then the woman called Han Muzi a bad friend quietly. “Are you going to see her now?”
“Later. I’ll have lunch with you first, then I’ll send you home.”
“Okay.”
After ten odd minutes or so, Yan came out with Han Qing from the office, her face scarlet. When they were taking the elevator down, the couple bumped into the top management who were about to leave too. The moment she saw them, the woman quickly hid behind Han Qing, for she couldn’t meet their gaze. Han Qing nodded at them, his expression inscrutable. Then, he took his girlfriend with her and left in his car. After they had departed, the top management team looked at one another.
“What happened? Why did President Han come down so soon?”
“Could it be that even though he looks young and strong, President Han is actually…”
The man drawled, but everyone knew what he was trying to say, so their expressions looked grim. We seem to have bumped into something incredible.
“Shh. Don’t let President Han hear this, or we’re going to get it.”
“Let’s get out of here.”
Someone sighed. “It’s a pity though. The president is still so young, so why did he…”
