She didn't understand him at all.
She had no idea about his temperament or what his identity truly was. Even when it came to the thoroughly understood Xiao Ruoyu, she couldn't manage him, so how could she possibly handle a man who was countless times more outstanding than Xiao Ruoyu?
Once bitten by a snake, she feared the well rope for ten years; she didn't want to repeat the failure she experienced with Xiao Ruoyu.
Accepting a new relationship wasn't as easy as she had imagined. Even though...
He could offer her care and warmth, sheltering her from the storm. Even though...
She had grown somewhat greedy for such an embrace.
"I, I..."
She opened her mouth, but the words of rejection lingered on her lips without the courage to be spoken. After all, she had already laid everything on the line last night; now to act coy felt overly pretentious.
Her voice caught in her throat, and her small hand pushing against his chest reflected her inner turmoil.
"Lady Night has come onto me twice and is still shy?"
Ye Yunfeng teased without restraint, causing An Nuan's face to flush crimson, almost as if it would bleed.
"Ye Yunfeng, the first time was purely a mistake. The second time was..."
“What is it?”
He pressed his nose against hers, his lips brushing lightly against hers, so close that a slight movement from her could lead to a kiss. An Nuan felt a wave of heat wash over her; she had never been teased like this before. Even with the sweet words of Xiao Ruoyu, if she wanted to refuse, he would never push further. But this was different; his closeness felt so natural, as if she was meant to be his.
“I—I’m at my wit's end. I didn’t expect it to be you. If I had known it was you…”
“What then?”
He kissed her lips softly, like a dragonfly touching water. This barely-there teasing made her feel unbearably hot, and all she wanted was to escape. In a moment of impulsiveness, she heard herself say, “It’s different with your eyes closed than with them open.”
“Then close your eyes.”
His large hand covered her eyes, and he placed a gentle kiss on her forehead. “This afternoon, I’ll have someone come to pick you up. From now on, she will be your manager. Lan Shuo Shuo has enough courage but lacks confidence. If you want to become famous, to rise to the top tier or even the super elite in the entertainment industry, just follow my arrangements. Rather than flaunting your charms to accompany an old lecher who may not even give you a chance, it’s better to win over your husband.”
With that, he left.
An Nuan stood there in a daze, her cheeks still flushed.
“Ye Yunfeng, you are the real lecher!”
Blushing, An Nuan muttered under her breath as she hurriedly buttoned up her clothes. Fortunately, the position wasn’t obvious; once she tidied herself up, it was well concealed. But his words still echoed faintly in her ears.
“Rather than flaunting your charms to accompany an old lecher who may not even give you a chance, it’s better to win over your husband…”
Is there a difference?
If one must point out a distinction, it would be the difference between one man and several men. Oh no, the truth is that one is a legal flirtation, while the other is an illegal cohabitation. If these were the only two paths to choose from... she would certainly opt for the first.
After Ye Yunfeng left, An Nuan calmed her thoughts, tidied up the kitchen utensils, and cleaned the table. It wasn't long before she heard the doorbell ring.
When she opened the door, a fair-skinned and beautiful woman stood before her.
"Hello, I am Rong Sijia. The big boss said that starting today, I will be your manager."
"Hello, I am Lu An Nuan."
Compared to Rong Sijia's enthusiasm, An Nuan appeared a bit awkward. She had never seen someone like her at the company; could it be that Ye Yunfeng sent her directly? Wouldn't that be too high-profile?
