Before she could react, she was already sitting on his lap, with his hands around her waist. Han Muzi felt as if her heart had stopped beating for a second. She looked at him, expressionless.
“W-What are you doing?” She stuttered.
Ye Moxuan kept quiet as he gradually lifted his hand to grab her by her chin. He leaned slightly forward with his shoulders and let out a warm breath on her face.
“Time to get off work.”
“Get off—mmph!” Han Muzi was still puzzled by the words that Ye Moxuan had just said before his eyes grew deeper. Suddenly, it was pitch black. He kissed her.
Han Muzi widened her eyes in disbelief. It was as if her mind had just gone blank. She could not remember a thing.
The only thing she knew was the intense masculine aroma emanated from Ye Moxuan’s body. She was so nervous that she did not know where to place her hands, which ended up grabbing Ye Moxuan’s dress shirt that was in front of her chest. She lifted her head, displaying her lean and fair neck while receiving his kiss.
She was still in disbelief; based on his attitude toward her this morning, she thought that everything that happened last night was just a figment of her imagination. But now, the warmth on her lips, her rapid heartbeat, and even his breath were all real.
The kiss lasted for a while before Ye Moxuan backed away from her, though his fingers were still holding her by her chin.
Han Muzi gasped. Her sleepy eyes had turned moist and shiny—they were as attractive and captivating as the surface of a lake during the evening during autumn.
Ye Moxuan moved his fingers up and softly wiped off the lipstick residue at the corner of her lips. His eyes became ever deeper. Then, his rough voice came out, “Please don’t wear lipstick in the future anymore.”
“W-Why not?”
Ye Moxuan leaned forward. “It makes it harder to kiss.”
Han Muzi did not say a word. Her face immediately turned red. She was intending to move backward but since she was in Ye Moxuan’s arms, where could she go?
This response of hers had alerted Ye Moxuan. Again, he leaned forward. “Where are you going? Did you hear what I just said?”
Han Muzi bit her lower lip and responded in a low voice, “I-If I don’t wear lipstick at work, I will look unprofessional. I…”
“You’re unwilling?” Ye Moxuan squinted and continued, “Forget it then.” This lipstick would not harm him anyway.
All of sudden, he thought of something. “Also, in the future, please don’t give me that look again when we’re at work.”
That look? Han Muzi was puzzled. “What look?” She was confused. Even though she might have stared at him a little longer this morning… what was wrong with the look that she gave him? Han Muzi blinked and looked at him, befuddled.
It was that look. Ye Moxuan squinted while his voice became deep. “If you give me this look again in the future, I can’t promise I won’t throw you out of the office.”
Han Muzi was confused.
“Don’t seduce me during work. Do you understand?” He put out his hand and squeezed her chin a little. “After work, you can give me whatever look you want.”
At this point, Han Muzi had finally understood what he was trying to say—he felt that giving him that look at work meant she was seducing him.
She became slightly upset when she thought about this. “I was merely looking at you a little longer this morning. A simple look and you think I’m seducing you? Why don’t you say you’re unable to control yourself?”
Han Muzi did not want to bear the responsibility. She clearly did not do anything today as she was merely feeling confused, and that was why she looked at him to confirm what she saw. Instead, he accused her of seducing him.
Ye Moxuan did not know how to respond. He suddenly felt that she was spot on with what she said.
It was indeed the truth that he could not control himself. Ever since the incident last night, he began to have the feeling that she belonged to him and he would like to spend every minute with her—to be intimate with her. Even to the extent of… possessing her.
However, the two of them had not known each other for too long. It was not even half a month yet. If he really did that, she would definitely be terrified. Therefore, Ye Moxuan could only suppress himself. Who knew she would visit his office several times that day and look at him that way.
If it was not during office hours, he would have pulled her over and… Ye Moxuan’s heart started pounding. Things that started this way usually only ended in one way.
He thought he was a sensible person. Yet, today he has lost his mind over a woman and locked her in his embrace to kiss her right after work. This… was never how he did things.
However, the woman before him was so pure and clean, and her lips were glossy. He was greatly tempted to indulge in those features of hers.
Han Muzi gave him an accusatory look. “I’m not seducing you, alright?”
Her lips were moving in front of him, and he had an indecipherable look on him. Before she could say the next sentence, he put his hands around her head and brought her face closer to him. He kissed her one more time.
He was, at the same time, mumbling, “You are right. I’m out of control…” He was totally immersed in the moment.
“Mmph…”
…
When Han Muzi came out from the office, her face and neck were as red as an apple. She surreptitiously looked around to confirm that there was nobody before she quickly made her way back to the secretary’s office.
After she quietly closed the door behind her, she rested her back on it and softly panted while her hands were patting her steamy cheeks.
She looked at the clock and realized that more than half an hour had passed. Even though it did feel like quite some time had passed when she was with Ye Moxuan, she did not expect it to be more than half an hour.
But in the last half an hour or so, she had only exchanged a few words with Ye Moxuan. So… for the rest of the time, had they just been kissing?
Han Muzi could not believe it. She covered her eyes in disbelief. She stayed in the secretary’s office for a while before heading down to eat at the cafeteria.
Just as she thought that the cafeteria should be empty at this hour, she bumped into Rory, who also just came downstairs.
“What a coincidence! I didn’t think I would see anyone down here at this hour. Muzi, it’s fate that we bumped into each other.” After saying that, Rory quickly came up to her and grabbed her arms.
Han Muzi pursed her lips and smiled. Then, they went to grab some food together.
After they sat down, Rory was staring at her continuously, making Han Muzi uncomfortable. Han Muzi then touched her face with her hands. “What’s wrong?”
It could be guilt but ever since Han Muzi left the office, she looked suspicious.
Rory’s eyes moved from her face to her lips. She pointed at them and asked, “Why are your lips peeling?”
Han Muzi kept quiet. As if she thought of something, she reflexively began biting her lower lip.
