Faced with Liu Yun’s pitiful plea, Ling Xiaoyu was momentarily struck by the illusion that Liu Yun was not a man, but a stunning beauty.
But she quickly dismissed that thought, then grinned mischievously.
“Brother Yun, although I don’t want to switch seats either, I already promised this little brother here.”
“Besides, given your relationship, I’d better not disturb you two. So please, continue—I absolutely won’t peek.”
As she spoke, the girl darted over to Lin Xiu’s former seat in a few quick moves, pulling out a pair of binoculars and staring intently in their direction.
Seeing this, Liu Yun’s face darkened. At this moment, she had every reason to suspect there was something off with the novels this girl wrote. Who brings binoculars to the seaside anyway!
But since there was nothing she could do about it now, Liu Yun could only take a deep breath, giving the youth beside her a disgruntled look as she spoke.
“President Lin, why are you here? What about the project you’re responsible for?”
Because they were on a plane, Liu Yun finally didn’t have to use that embarrassing form of address.
Lin Xiu, however, responded lazily.
“What about it? It’s not like the people at the company are useless—they won’t mess things up just because I’m not there.”
For the first time, Liu Yun actually agreed with him. Out of everyone in the project, this guy was the least useful.
Thinking this, Liu Yun could only feel speechless.
“Then why are you following me?”
Lin Xiu chuckled, brimming with confidence.
“Who says I’m following you? Can’t I go to Sanya for a vacation, Secretary Yun? Wouldn’t you say so?”
Liu Yun was momentarily at a loss for words, letting out a cold snort.
“I don’t care what you’re here for, but if you try anything out of line again, I’ll call the police and have you arrested, believe it or not?”
Although this kind of threat was almost meaningless to the young man, it was the only weapon Liu Yun had to fend off this scoundrel.
Yet Lin Xiu showed no sign of backing down. After all, from what he’d observed these past days, the woman before him had already gotten used to his antics.
And from the matter with her younger brother, it was obvious that this woman was tough on the outside but soft on the inside—her steely exterior was all just bravado.
At that thought, Lin Xiu immediately came up with a wicked idea. He slyly slid his restless hand along her clothes, landing on her soft, slender waist, making her let out a cat-like whimper.
“Secretary Yun, I still suggest you don’t do that. Otherwise, nothing will happen to me, but you’ll lose your job, and your wife will find out you’ve been lying to her…”
Liu Yun glared at him, biting her lip as she firmly pressed down on his misbehaving hand.
“You’re shameless…”
Lin Xiu shrugged, gazing at the woman’s large, sparkling eyes with a faint smile.
“It’s not like today’s the first day you’ve realized that, Sister Yun.”
Liu Yun was so furious she nearly trembled, yet there was nothing she could do. She could only try to soften her tone.
“You, you… stop it. Aren’t you trying to pursue me? Who chases a woman like this?”
Lin Xiu paused for a moment, then arched an eyebrow and grinned.
“No choice. Sister Yun’s heart is too hard—I can only try a roundabout approach, see if cooking rice before the pot boils does the trick.”
“Who knows, maybe when our bet is up, you’ll fall for me after all. Time makes the heart grow fonder, doesn’t it…”
Liu Yun’s body quivered at his words. Knowing just how little the girl’s morals amounted to, she truly believed he was capable of such things!
If he controlled her body, he really could do those things. How had she not realized this before…?
At that thought, a trace of panic finally flickered through Liu Yun’s beautiful eyes as she hurriedly said,
“No, you can’t do that…”
Looking at the woman before him—like a startled fawn, with such bewitching eyes—Lin Xiu’s throat bobbed involuntarily.
He’d only meant to scare her, but now, for some reason, he actually felt a bit tempted himself.
Liu Yun, flustered, frantically searched for a solution. In her anxiety, she came up with a rather weak idea and spoke,
“President Lin, a-actually these days, I haven’t been entirely without feelings for you. So, if you just act like you did before, maybe I’ll really fall for you.”
“You’re right—I am a woman now. It’s unlikely I can keep this marriage with my wife much longer…”
“But, if you go too far, I’ll only come to hate you. I’ll never like you, ever.”
This was a stalling tactic, but with Liu Yun’s clumsy and stiff acting, anyone could see right through it.
However, Lin Xiu had never intended to do anything in the airplane cabin anyway, so he put on a look of reluctant compromise and withdrew his hand.
“Alright, Sister Yun, you make a good point. I apologize for being impulsive just now.”
Hearing that, Liu Yun finally breathed a sigh of relief, hurriedly waving her hand.
“I-it’s fine. I’m just glad you think so.”
At this moment, most people in the cabin were either resting with their eyes closed or playing games on their phones without internet. Only Ling Xiaoyu was excitedly watching the secretive interaction between Liu Yun and Lin Xiu.
But she never would have guessed that in the CP she shipped, Liu Yun was actually a woman…
Just as Liu Yun was starting to relax, the young man leaned over again and breathed in her ear.
“By the way… Sister Yun, you weren’t just lying to me just now, were you?”
Liu Yun stiffened, forcing a laugh.
“Wh-why would I…”
Lin Xiu chuckled and snapped his fingers.
“How about this? There’s still a while before we land. Sister Yun, you said you might fall for me in the future, but I don’t quite believe it. So why don’t we run a little experiment right now…”
Liu Yun blinked in surprise. In the next instant, the young man leaned in and whispered several things into her ear, making her ear itch.
But what he said made her beautiful eyes widen in alarm as she protested anxiously,
“No, how can we do that? We’ll be seen…”
Lin Xiu spoke lightly,
“Relax, Sister Yun. Don’t you know about my ability? No one will notice…”
With that, he stood up and walked toward the narrow restroom at the very edge of the cabin. As he passed by, not a single person glanced his way—not even the flight attendants…
Yet Liu Yun felt uneasy about what the young man had just said. What did he mean by that? Could he have realized that she knew about being hypnotized?
For a moment, Liu Yun was restless, but after some hesitation, she gritted her teeth and got up, following him to the restroom door.
The next second, she was pulled inside by the young man!
In the cramped restroom, Liu Yun could feel the heat of the young man’s breath—it seemed to scorch her skin…
“Sister Yun, see? Didn’t I tell you no one would notice?”
Lin Xiu chuckled, but his hands tightly restrained Liu Yun as he looked at the mature woman who turned her head away, exposing a slender, faintly pink, jade-like neck. She pursed her lips and spoke awkwardly,
“You… why did you call me here? What do you want to do?”
Lin Xiu’s voice was low and enchanting.
“I already said, just a little experiment—to prove that Sister Yun could really fall for me.”
Liu Yun looked confused as she turned her head toward the young man.
“How do we do that?”
“Simple. All you need to do is kiss me.”
This was completely different from Lin Xiu’s previous forceful kisses—this time, she’d have to cross the line herself, without the excuse of hypnosis, and take the initiative to break the moral taboo by kissing him.
And in truth, this was a crucial step in Lin Xiu’s conquest of her. After all, once this first line was crossed, he would have plenty of ways to make Liu Yun fall further and further…
