When Liu Yun heard the young man’s words, her heart trembled, and she instinctively refused.
“No, no way, how could I possibly…”
He actually wanted her to take the initiative to kiss this annoying guy in front of her. How could Liu Yun possibly do that? It was already good enough that she didn’t bite him…
As for Lin Xiu, he had long anticipated the woman’s resistance, so he didn’t make any extra moves and simply stared straight at her alluring pink lips…
Liu Yun felt unbearably uncomfortable under the young man’s burning gaze, as if she was completely exposed before him…
“Yun-jie, if we keep this up, we’ll get discovered, you know.”
After all, the two of them were still squeezed together in the cramped bathroom of the cabin, at risk of being found at any moment.
At this moment, Liu Yun’s heart was starting to feel anxious. Things were already embarrassing enough—if they were discovered now, she felt she might as well jump straight out of the plane.
“C-could you use another way to prove your point? This is just too much…”
Left with no choice, Liu Yun could only lower her voice, a charming blush spreading across her delicate face from embarrassment.
But just by opening her mouth, she had already shown her surrender, so of course Lin Xiu would not yield. He chuckled softly.
“So it turns out Yun-jie was lying to me earlier. In that case, I’ll have to go with the ‘raw rice cooked into mature rice’ strategy. Even if I don’t succeed, a forcibly picked melon can still quench my thirst.”
As he spoke, Lin Xiu directly grabbed Liu Yun’s smooth, lotus-root-like wrist, pinning her delicate body against the cabin wall, pretending as if he was about to do something bad.
“N-no… Don’t, I—I promise you…”
Sure enough, Liu Yun was instantly frightened and flustered, surrendering under the young man’s wicked threat.
Only then did Lin Xiu release his hold and spoke softly.
“Yun-jie, it’s just a kiss. It’s not even that excessive, right?”
At this moment, Liu Yun’s face was burning hot. She looked at the young man’s handsome face, her heart in utter chaos.
That’s right, it’s just a kiss. She had already been forcibly kissed by this scoundrel more times than she could count, so what was one more time?
Trying to comfort herself, Liu Yun finally gathered her courage, her lashes trembling as she spoke.
“T-then close your eyes…”
Upon hearing this, Lin Xiu’s eyes flashed with a triumphant smile. He obediently closed his eyes and, thick-skinned, even moved his face closer.
Seeing this, Liu Yun’s heart was still full of shyness. After all, she had once been a man, and now she had to take the initiative to kiss another young man. This was something she wouldn’t even have dared to imagine in the past, yet at this moment, she had no room to refuse!
After hesitating for a moment, Liu Yun finally mustered up her courage, closed her eyes, and pressed her lips to the young man’s.
At that moment, something subtle seemed to shift within her, though Liu Yun herself did not notice this change…
“Mmm…”
Faced with such a mature lady taking the initiative to offer a kiss, Lin Xiu naturally enjoyed it thoroughly.
He could feel the woman in his arms was still a bit resistant at first, but soon, her body turned soft and helpless in his embrace, quickly becoming a little lamb without any resistance.
After a long while, Lin Xiu finally released the charming woman in his arms and chuckled.
“Yun-jie, you and your wife just got married, and she had to go on a business trip, right? Tell me, have you ever kissed her like this?”
Liu Yun was panting, her legs so weak she could barely stand. If the young man hadn’t been holding her up, she might have already collapsed on the ground.
She couldn’t understand why her body was so uncooperative. This kind of weakness made her feel ashamed…
And after hearing the young man’s words, Liu Yun’s heart trembled, and she suddenly came to her senses.
Thinking back to what had just happened, a tremendous sense of guilt surged from deep within her.
What had she just done? She had a wife, yet here she was doing such things with a young man…
With this thought, Liu Yun hurriedly pushed the young man away, lowered her eyes, and whispered so quietly it was almost inaudible.
“A-are you satisfied now? Let me out…”
Saying that, she skirted around the young man, her body swaying slightly as she walked out. Lin Xiu didn’t need to think to know that right now, this woman’s heart must be in torment, feeling that what she had just done was a betrayal of her newlywed wife.
But that was normal. After all, she wasn’t a bad woman.
However, this was exactly the result Lin Xiu wanted. After all, once there was a first time, there would be a second, and after enough times, she would naturally become numb, convincing herself that she was a bad woman.
And when that time came…
Thinking of this, Lin Xiu curled his lips into a smile and leisurely walked out as well.
Afterward, the two of them sat in silence at their seats. Lin Xiu glanced at the woman beside him, who was staring blankly out the window, and refrained from provoking her any further, deciding instead to take a little nap.
Until the plane landed at the airport, Liu Yun still seemed dazed and absent-minded. She didn’t understand how she had become like this.
Even she herself felt a little unfamiliar with the current her. Or maybe, she had always been a scumbag…
Watching the woman walk straight ahead as soon as they got off the plane, Lin Xiu quickly caught up and snatched her suitcase.
“Yun-jie, which hotel did we book?”
Upon hearing this, Liu Yun shot him a cold glance and replied coolly.
“President Lin, you should call me Secretary Yun. I’m here for business negotiations. If you’re only here for sightseeing, then let’s part ways here.”
As she spoke, she reached out to take her suitcase back, but Lin Xiu dodged her.
“You can’t say that, Secretary Yun. The Old Master told me to learn from you. Isn’t this cooperation the perfect opportunity? Let me learn a bit about Secretary Yun’s negotiation skills.”
Faced with the young man’s words, Liu Yun was left speechless and could only bite her lip in frustration.
“Whatever you want.”
Saying this, she strode ahead. Seeing this, Lin Xiu shamelessly dragged the suitcase and followed close behind.
The Ritz-Carlton Hotel.
It was only noon, but Liu Yun already felt physically and mentally exhausted. She just wanted to take a nap—mainly to escape the gaze of a certain scoundrel.
When they arrived at the front desk, since the reservation had already been made, Liu Yun quickly got her room card.
But seeing that the young man hadn’t checked in at all, a wary look flashed in her beautiful eyes as she looked at him.
“What are you up to?”
Lin Xiu feigned confusion.
“What do you mean, what am I up to? I’m helping Secretary Yun bring your luggage to your room.”
It was a rare opportunity, so of course Lin Xiu was scheming.
Liu Yun pursed her lips at his words, stretching out her hand toward the young man, wanting to take her suitcase back.
“No need, President Lin, go book your room. I won’t trouble you with my luggage.”
Naturally, Lin Xiu wouldn’t hand the suitcase to Liu Yun—otherwise, how would he find an excuse later?
“There’s no rush to book a room. Secretary Yun, you don’t have to be so polite. You’re my grandfather’s right hand, and I should respect you. This little favor, I can still manage.”
Saying that, he once again dodged Liu Yun and walked toward the elevator.
Seeing this, Liu Yun was stunned for a moment, and then, so exasperated she forgot about keeping up her disguise as a man, she stomped her foot like a little girl despite her age.
Dealing with that little rascal’s shamelessness left Liu Yun emotionally exhausted, but she could only sulkily follow after him.
