The smile in Xu Yuandao's eyes grew more pronounced as he ignored her unease and leaned in closer, almost brushing his lips against hers, his warm breath cascading over her neck.
His voice was deep, laced with amusement. "Your face is so red." How adorable.
"Ah? That's because..." It was all because of you, Manager, making her heart race and her mind wander! A hint of shyness and panic flickered in her gaze.
"Because of what?" He held onto the question, a teasing glint in his eyes.
"Manager, if you keep this up, it will make me misunderstand... and it's not good if others see us... I mean, colleagues might see us, and it could create a bad impression... um, do you understand what I mean?" Li Niannian stammered, her body trembling slightly.
"I don't understand," he replied bluntly, that mischievous smile still playing on his lips.
Manager, please don’t toy with me...
"We're here; hurry inside for your check-up with the doctor." The topic shifted abruptly as the Manager lost interest in their previous conversation.
Li Niannian felt as if she had just been scared out of a cold sweat for no reason. She let out a long sigh and patted her chest to calm herself.
Sima Zhao's intentions were known to all; Li Niannian wasn't naive enough to miss that her parents wanted to pair her with Xu Yuandao. But how could they bear to repeatedly push her into the jaws of the tiger? He was the Demon Boss!
What a waste of a perfectly good weekend to spend it with a cold-faced god; just thinking about it made her want to weep in despair.
Feeling dejected, Li Niannian let her head droop further, showing only the top of her head. She hung her head listlessly like a wilted eggplant.
"Being with me must be quite a burden for you," the man at the table elegantly sipped his coffee, yet his words were as cold as ice.
"N-No! Having lunch with Manager is truly an honor for a small girl like me!" Li Niannian immediately straightened up like a spring, a sycophantic smile spreading across her face.
Then why do you always turn your back on people? Have you returned all your upbringing to your parents?
Xu Yuandao shot her a cold glance before returning to his silence.
The two of them ate their lunch in silence, and just as they finished paying the bill, Xu Yuandao suddenly received an urgent phone call.
"If the shipping schedule is delayed, negotiate with the other company first..."
Seeing Manager's serious expression, it seemed to be work-related. Oh, how wonderful! Manager, please go ahead and take care of your business; there's no need to worry about someone insignificant like me. Feel free to work; I’ll just wander around by myself and won’t disturb you from enjoying your beautiful weekend.
Li Niannian was full of anticipation, her eyes sparkling with excitement, hoping that after the call, Manager would kindly let her go.
But her fate was not so kind.
"Let's go, where should we go this afternoon?" Manager's first words made Li Niannian feel as if she had been struck down.
Her smile froze instantly, despair filling her gaze.
"Um, Manager, isn't work more important? A shipping delay could be quite troublesome..." She desperately tried to jog her boss's memory, hoping he would remember to focus on work and strive for success! A hint of pleading shone in her eyes.
"That kind of small matter can be handled by Minister Chen; he's just visiting their company," the Manager explained calmly.
I hate you, Minister Chen! Li Niannian silently cursed in her heart.
Li Niannian glanced up at Xu Yuandao and then down at her toes, which were nearly touching his polished shoes.
Wait, did she zone out for too long? She hadn't even noticed that the Manager had walked over to her!
"Manager, I—"
Her words were cut off as his lips pressed against hers, his strong arms wrapping around her waist. His dominance left no room for her tongue to retreat as he savored the sweetness of the girl.
She felt like a sugary treat, irresistible and meant to be indulged. With a mischievous grin, he nibbled on her lips, causing her body to shudder.
Breathless and gasping, Li Niannian felt as if the oxygen was being forcibly taken from her lungs, leaving her weak against his chest. Her face flushed crimson, her gaze dazed, further igniting Xu Yuandao's desire.
He leaned in close and maliciously whispered in her ear, "Is this your first time?"
