Dong Shan Zhong gently stroked Xinran's rosy cheeks and chuckled, "The taste of your lips is surprisingly delightful. I'm a bit dissatisfied; he got to taste them before I did..."
Hearing his teasing words, Xinran suddenly looked up, glaring at him. She disliked his flirtation and was even more frustrated that she had fallen so easily for it. If she hadn't snapped back to her senses just now, would she have already ended up in his bed?
"Compared to your red lips, your body must be even more wonderful! Have you two been to bed? Has he touched you here? And what about here?" Dong Shan Zhong ignored Xinran's glare, slowly moving his hand up to her chest, lingering for a moment before sliding down to her hips and giving them a light squeeze.
"Enough! I'm not yours! Whether I've slept with Shaoyang is none of your business. Let go of your hand!" Xinran could no longer tolerate Dong Shan Zhong's feigned invasion and forcefully pushed his hand away, stepping aside and saying angrily.
"None of my business? Really? I won't let go of your hand, at least not now!" Dong Shan Zhong smirked mockingly, implying something deeper.
Xinran knew that continuing this argument would lead nowhere. He was an arrogant and domineering man who seemed unwilling to let go once he had set his sights on something. Unfortunately for her, she was the one he had chosen. Therefore, there was no need for her to waste energy arguing further. Besides, her purpose for coming today was not this; if she couldn't persuade him to stop making things difficult for Chen Dao, then her visit would have been in vain!
Taking a deep breath, she softened her tone and sighed, "I don't want to discuss this matter any further. Who knows what will happen in the future? Maybe tomorrow I'll fall in love with you; you know that's not impossible. Or perhaps the day after tomorrow, you won't like me anymore. You also know there are plenty of women better than me out there. So why not leave it to fate?"
Dong Shan Zhong looked at Xinran with interest, noncommittal. From their two encounters, it was clear she was an extraordinary woman, leading him to question whether Shaoyang approached her merely for a rivalry with him. Could it be that Shaoyang might actually fall for her? He knew that wouldn't be difficult!
However, even if Shaoyang truly fell for her, it would only be his misfortune because Shaoyang knew he wouldn't allow him to have love—whether real or fake, they could never be together. If she fell in love with Shaoyang, that would be unfortunate for her; but if she fell in love with him, that would be her doom because Mu Shaosi would never love anyone—not even an exceptional woman like her.
"Since you haven't said otherwise, I'll take it as your agreement. Since you've agreed, can we stop making things difficult for Chen Dao? I admit that half of my reason for withdrawing from that play was to cut ties with you, but the other half is that I want to work happily. If this job is going to make me unhappy, I won't force myself to continue. So can we refrain from pulling back the funding just because of me?" Xinran lowered her tone slightly, sounding somewhat pleading.
"I've said before that you have complete rights regarding this play. If you think it will make you unhappy, you can tell the director to arrange something that makes you happy," Dong Shan Zhong replied casually.
"No, I don't need such privileges; it would make me feel like I'm being kept by you. So... if you truly like me, please agree to my request."
"Have you given up? Don't you feel it's a pity?" He had investigated, and her agent had been trying hard to secure her a role in Chen Jianliang's film, so she must have really wanted this opportunity. Otherwise, he wouldn't have thought of buying the film to get involved with her.
"I don't like to change decisions I've made!"
"Alright, then it's up to you!" Dong Shan Zhong said with a faint smile.
"So, you agreed?" Xinran smiled; she truly didn't expect him to be so easygoing.
"However, I need to do this one more time..." Before he finished speaking, he swept Xinran into his arms and instantly captured her lips, kissing her repeatedly.
Unprepared, Xinran was once again caught by Dong Shan Zhong's lips. This time, she didn't fall deeper; she hurriedly pushed him away and dared not linger, running out of his office!
