Because the person standing at the door right now was none other than the very boy she had seen today—Lin Xiu!
How could it be him?
Liu Yun’s mind exploded with a bang, leaving her in shock for a long while.
After suspecting she might have been hypnotized, she’d doubted everyone in the company, doubted her friends—she could say she’d suspected everyone in her social circle.
But the boy she’d only met today… she had never, not even in her dreams, considered him.
Right after, an intense feeling of panic and unease welled up in Liu Yun’s heart, because didn’t this mean her act of cross-dressing as a man in the company today had been exposed?
And just like a clown, she’d put on an act in front of this guy. How humiliating. She wanted to die from shame…
At this moment, Lin Xiu stood outside the door, his gaze quietly sizing up the beautiful woman before him.
Looking at her alluring and intellectual face, accentuated by her gold-rimmed glasses, and the faintly open neckline that revealed her collarbone and the pale curve of her chest, his eyes darkened slightly.
Then, he broke into a bright smile.
“Lady, won’t you invite me in to sit for a while?”
At his words, Liu Yun’s delicate body trembled. She instinctively wanted to refuse, but to her dismay, her body’s response betrayed her.
“P-please, come in…”
Liu Yun could only stare blankly as she stepped aside and made a gesture for this bastard to enter her home.
By now, the Three-legged Crow had vanished, but the entire atmosphere of the house felt strange and off.
The boy sat down in front of the sofa, glancing at the documents and computer on the coffee table, while Liu Yun—unbelievably—poured tea for this villain who had trespassed into her home.
Her actions were disturbingly practiced. Liu Yun couldn’t even imagine how deeply she’d been hypnotized—yet she herself had only just realized it.
“Lady, I never thought you’d be my Grandfather’s Secretary. You’ve really surprised me.”
Just then, Lin Xiu suddenly pulled the dazed young woman into his arms, lifting her soft chin.
But knowing Liu Yun wouldn’t be able to respond, he simply continued talking to himself.
“But you know, now that things are like this, do you have any idea what a mess you’ve made for me? It took me a lot of work to set this all up, and now there’s a huge risk of exposure…”
The boy continued to mutter things Liu Yun couldn’t understand, but she had no mind to care—because right now, she was sitting in his lap.
As someone who used to be a man, Liu Yun was completely disgusted. This bastard! She didn’t even like men!
Yet no matter how she screamed inwardly, her body refused to react, continuing to shamefully nestle in the boy’s embrace.
Then she saw him slowly lower his head…
What is he doing?
Watching their faces draw closer and closer, Liu Yun grew terrified. All she could do was watch helplessly as the boy kissed her lips.
“Mm…”
For a moment, a soft moan escaped her lips, but Liu Yun was completely thrown into confusion. This feeling of being bullied, yet only able to watch, left her with the illusion of being a powerless husband…
Just as Liu Yun thought there was no escaping her fate tonight and she would inevitably be abused by this beast in front of her, the boy let go of her lips and said with a faint smile.
“Never mind, I won’t bully you tonight. Lady, I’m hungry. What do you think we should do?”
Then go die of hunger!
Liu Yun cursed in her heart, but once again her body betrayed her, dumbly replying.
“I’ll go make dinner…”
Looking at her useless body, Liu Yun was on the verge of collapse. Damn bastard, I’m going to kill you!
Meanwhile, Lin Xiu watched as the obedient woman walked to the kitchen to cook, unaware that Liu Yun’s mind had already cleared up and was no longer under his control.
After all, hypnosis was about controlling a person’s mind to give them orders.
A state like Liu Yun’s—where her thoughts were clear, but her body was uncontrollable—was extremely rare. Even Lin Xiu hadn’t expected this to happen.
He stood up and began to walk around the house of this woman who lived alone. The place was neat and cozy.
Soon, Lin Xiu entered the bedroom. This wasn’t his first time in Liu Yun’s boudoir—in fact, he was quite familiar with the room.
There was a faint scent of plum blossoms in the air, just like on Liu Yun herself, and it wasn’t from perfume—it was her natural fragrance, something Lin Xiu liked very much.
Thinking this, Lin Xiu simply flopped down onto the bed. Gazing at the Wedding Dress Photo on the bedside, and the blissful couple in the picture, he gradually felt sleepy and soon drifted off.
Half an hour later, Liu Yun had finished making dinner. If her body were under her control, she would have definitely put laxatives in the food!
She entered the room and saw the boy sleeping on her bed. Even having once been a man, she felt incredibly annoyed!
Liu Yun knew what her body would do next—just wake up this bastard, nothing more.
And sure enough, she climbed in front of the boy, shook him a bit, and said dully.
“Dinner’s ready…”
Lin Xiu blinked his eyes open in a daze, reached out, and hooked his arm around her slender waist, pulling her close.
“Let me hold you for a bit.”
He murmured softly, buried his head in the crook of her jade-like neck and inhaled deeply a few times, before getting up.
“Come on, let’s go eat.”
The following time was pure torment for Liu Yun. At this point, she even had the crazy thought that it might be less painful to just be unaware of everything—at least then her mind wouldn’t suffer so much.
Throughout the meal, she felt just like a servant girl from ancient times waiting on someone. Wasn’t this just too much?
Fortunately, the torment finally ended. The boy wiped his mouth, as if preparing to leave, then placed a hand on her shoulder.
“Lady, after I leave, you’ll forget everything that happened after I came in. You won’t remember a thing—you’ll just keep working as usual.”
“But next time we meet, if no one’s around, you’ll address me as Mistress. It’s just a normal form of address—you won’t find it strange, just like calling me Young President Lin.”
“Come, repeat what I just said.”
At that moment, the boy’s pupils suddenly turned deep, and their color changed to a faint gold.
Liu Yun felt her mind go fuzzy, and her mouth automatically repeated what he’d just said.
“Yes, after you leave, I’ll forget everything before, and I won’t remember a thing. I’ll keep working as usual…”
“When we meet again and there’s no one around, I’ll call you Mistress. It’s just a normal form of address…”
Looking at the dazed woman who had repeated everything, Lin Xiu nodded in satisfaction and gently patted her head.
“Good girl. Don’t worry, as long as you stay by my side, you won’t be in any danger.”
After saying this, the boy stood up and left.
And the moment the front door closed, Liu Yun found her body had returned to normal—she could finally control herself again.
