In short, Yan was a mess. She did not react while in a daze as she was kissed for a long time. As he had already finished his afternoon meeting, Han Qing’s schedule would be empty after this. As such, he patiently held Yan in his arms.
Yan was still dizzy when they were separated, and her body was weak. She could only lean into Han Qing’s arms while her fair little hands grabbed the shirt in front of her. The dark shirt was wrinkled by her, and one of the buttons was undone, revealing his collarbone and Adam’s apple.
Yan swallowed when she saw this scene.
“Do you like it?” Han Qing’s eyes were slightly darkened when he noticed her little action. He proceeded to unbutton his shirt while he asked that.
Yan suddenly widened her eyes and asked nervously, “What are you doing?”
“You don’t like it?” Han Qing did not stop his actions. Meanwhile, Yan’s face was red as she pressed down his hands to stop him. She immediately said, “I don’t have to watch it even if I like it!”
His hand, which was being pressed down by the young lady, suddenly paused and did not continue. Han Qing’s lips gradually curved as he looked at the young lady’s red face. “Okay, we’ll find a suitable opportunity to show you next time.”
Yan did not know how to respond to that. She could not help but gulp after seeing the man before her exuding this much charm. Why do I have a feeling… that this old man seems to have become coquettish? Or is it just me? All the while he was acting cold like an ice mountain, but now he’s warm like fire after the relationship is confirmed?
Someone knocked on the door from outside the office when Yan was in the middle of her shock and uncertainty. “President Han.” A man’s voice could be heard from outside, spoiling the atmosphere in the office.
Yan was stunned for three seconds and immediately stood up while distancing herself from Han Qing.
Han Qing was speechless. He had caught all of her movements. She was just like a little hamster that got caught stealing food. He coughed slightly, and his voice was hoarse as he spoke while doing up the buttons of his shirt, “Come in.” It was just that the moment he opened his mouth, he immediately reverted to his expressionless and indifferent appearance.
An upper management staff who was waiting at the door finally opened it and went in. When the staff came in, he felt that something was wrong because usually when he came over, President Han would always be sitting at the desk. Today, however, he was sitting on the sofa, and his clothes looked a little disheveled. He was a bit stunned by the sight. It was not that he had not heard of the recent rumors, but he just laughed them off. After all, the group of them had always said that President Han would be a bachelor until he was an old man. But what about now? The upper management staff had cleverly caught sight of a girl’s white-fringed shoulder bag next to Han Qing’s suit.
However, he only saw the belongings but not the owner. As such, the upper management staff shifted his attention back to the lounge area once more. The woman was here, yet she had hidden. Was it because she could not afford to be seen? Why could she not meet anyone? If that was the case, then it must be because they…
“What are you looking for?” A low voice interrupted his thoughts.
The upper management staff came back to his senses and no longer dared to let his gaze wander around. Smiling awkwardly, he said, “It’s nothing. President Han, you need to sign this document.”
Upon hearing this, Han Qing did not go over to take the document. Instead, the upper management staff slowly placed the document on the desk in front of him.
“Leave the document here first,” Han Qing said lightly.
The upper management staff understood what he meant and left the office after putting down the file. Yan was still hiding in the lounge area, not daring to make a sound. She was secretly squatting by the door and listening to the conversation outside. She found that Han Qing spoke in a cold voice when talking to the upper management staff who came in. He had returned to his indifference and alienation.
Oh, so is the slightly sulky, soft-spoken side of him going to be exclusively reserved for me in the future? Thinking of this, Yan felt happy—like her heart was filled with pink bubbles—even though everything still seemed like a dream.
Yan stayed in the office until the evening. When she left, it was Han Qing who brought her back home. When the car had stopped downstairs, she sat in the passenger seat in a daze. Then, Han Qing leaned over to unbuckle her seat belt. When he did so, his breath drifted over and surrounded her. After he unbuckled his seat belt, he did not hastily retreat and only looked at the woman in front of him before asking, “What are you thinking of?”
His low male voice drew back Yan’s soul which had flown away. After returning to her senses, she saw his handsome face that was before her. Taken aback, she began to stammer once more. “N-Nothing.”
“Nothing? Do you know where you are now?”
Where am I now? Yan looked out of the window and realized that she was downstairs of her house. Her face suddenly turned red as she said, “It looks like we’ve arrived. I was just thinking about some things.”
“Hmm?” Han Qing squinted his eyes. “Didn’t you say you weren’t thinking about anything earlier?”
There was only silence. Raising her head, Yan was met with his dark eyes again. Although today had gone by very smoothly, it felt like the most illusory day in her life. She looked at Han Qing, who was very close to her, and suddenly stretched out her arms to wrap around his neck and hug him tightly. She buried her small face in his neck, took a deep breath, and hugged him tighter.
Han Qing was slightly startled. He was not used to the young lady’s initiative as she had been passive since that night, but suddenly… He sensed something was off with her emotions, so he gently held her arms and pulled her away before asking, “What’s wrong?”
Under his gaze, Yan’s eyelashes trembled slightly and her voice was soft. “Do you know? Today might be the most surreal day of my whole life. I don’t know if this is real. I’m thinking that even if I’m making all of this up myself, then I hope to never wake up. But I know… if this is only my imagination, then I’ll certainly wake up from it one day, so I wanted to hug you for a moment more.” She genuinely thought so and naturally said so.
Han Qing smiled helplessly after she finished saying this. He suddenly used a bit of force and pulled Yan into his arms while rubbing her chin with one of his hands. “Do you really think so?”
The lighting in the car was dim, and the young lady lifted her head while nodding at him with a pitiful look. Her pinkish lips were attractive under the lights while Han Qing moved his fingers slowly to the part where he was thinking of. He touched her lips softly and said with a deep tone, “Do you want to make out a little longer?”
Yan was stunned. She blinked again and again, immediately shaking her head after three seconds. “No, no, I’m not that greedy. I’m easily satisfied. Let’s just hug.” She was afraid that she would wake up from her dreams if she was too greedy! By then, she might not even be able to hug him!
There was a trace of a smile and something else in Han Qing’s eyes. He thought she looked cute when she was acting silly like this. He slowly leaned toward her and asked, “You sure you don’t want a kiss?”
