Five years after my wife's death, she came back!

Shi Ying's expression was a little stiff. No one in the company had ever mentioned Mrs. Shang Chenyan before.

But for some reason, during this period, this person was always mentioned intentionally or unintentionally by the people around her. When she wanted to take her relationship with Shang Chenyan to the next level, it was as if there was a thorn stuck in her heart.

Jiang Mingxue put the magazine away: "There's nothing to see here. It's all gossip tabloids. I don't know where they got the nerve to publish about President Shang's private life."

Su Wan leaned closer and said, "This newspaper is finished. A few years ago, a magazine published a photo of President Shang and a little girl, and it went bankrupt just a few days after its publication."

Jiang Mingxue also recalled this matter: "Speaking of that little girl, some people said she was President Shang's daughter, is that true?"

Su Wan shrugged: "Who knows?"

The two chattered and gossiped for a while, then, seeing Shi Ying standing there blankly, Jiang Mingxue quickly glanced at Su Wan, and the two fell silent.

"By the way, Yingying, there's a report you didn't finish yesterday. Hurry up and finish it so I can submit it together."

"Okay..." Shi Ying sat back in her seat and absentmindedly turned on her computer to start working.

She spent the morning in a daze, and at lunchtime, she declined to go to the cafeteria with Jiang Mingxue and the others, and slumped into a chair.

There weren't many employees on the top floor, and soon the surroundings became exceptionally quiet.

Shi Ying then remembered to check her phone, but as soon as she opened it, she saw that Shang Chenyan had sent a lot of messages. The earliest one was at 9:10, ten minutes after they separated.

At 9:10, Shang Chenyan wrote: [I miss you.]

At 10:10, Shang Chenyan: [Want to come in and keep me company?]

At 10:30, Shang Chenyan said: [There's an international conference going on all morning. If you get hungry later, remember to eat something; I didn't eat much this morning.]

At 10:40, Shang Chenyan: [Yingying? Are you busy?]

10:45: Shang Chenyan: [Baby?]

At 10:50, Shang Chenyan said: [Who assigned you so much work? Bring it in, I'll do it for you.]

At 11:30, Shang Chenyan said: [I asked Zhang Ma to make lunch and bring it over. Come in and eat with me later.]

At 11:40, Shang Chenyan wrote: [If you don't reply soon, I'm coming out to find you. Don't blame me if someone sees me.]

Shi Ying pouted. How come she never noticed he was such a chatterbox before?

She checked the time; it was 11:45. Before she could reply, the office door opened.

Shang Chenyan walked over with a stern face. Shi Ying subconsciously looked around and breathed a sigh of relief when she saw that everyone had left.

To his surprise, her reaction only made Shang Chenyan's heart ache even more: "Am I so shameful?"

He walked over to her, placed his hands on the armrests of the chair, and looked down at her: "Why didn't you reply to my messages?"

Shi Ying leaned back: "I'm busy. I didn't come yesterday. I have a lot of things to do."

Shang Chenyan was displeased: "So busy that you don't even have time to say a word to me?"

Shi Ying found his unreasonable behavior somewhat amusing: "I'm working for you, so even if I'm busy, I'm still making money for you, right?"

Shang Chenyan bent down and picked her up: "All my money is yours. You just need to make sure I make money and don't overwork myself."

Shi Ying let him carry her into the office. The two squeezed onto a sofa, and the man wouldn't let her sit on her own, insisting on holding her on his lap.

There was a lunchbox on the table. Shang Chenyan explained, "I was worried you wouldn't like eating out, so I had Zhang Ma make it and send it over."

"Why go through all that trouble?"

Although Shi Ying said that, Zhang Ma's cooking was really delicious; she could smell the aroma even through the lunchbox.

Shi Ying reached out to try to open the lid, but for some reason, it was tightly closed and she couldn't pry it open no matter what she did.

"I don't usually have food delivered. These food containers have been sitting in the storage room for a long time, so they might be a bit old and require some effort to remove."

Shang Chenyan wrapped his arms around her from behind and pried open the lid for her.

He was very close, his chest pressed against her back, and when Shi Ying turned her head slightly, her lips could touch his cheek.

The midday sun was strong, and with the office curtains drawn, Shang Chenyan's expression became inscrutable in the dim light.

"Yingying".

"Hmm?" Shi Ying had just picked up her chopsticks when someone grabbed her hand.

Shang Chenyan pinched her cheek: "I'm hungry too, let me eat something first."

Before Shi Ying could push him away, he lowered his head, pressed his soft, thin lips against hers, and gently sucked on them.

The air in the office seemed to be heating up rapidly. It was very quiet all around. Perhaps because the location was a bit inappropriate, Shi Ying's heart was beating very fast, her eyelashes were trembling, and she was very nervous.

Shang Chenyan raised his hand and covered her eyes with his palm.

When Shi Ying was completely plunged into darkness and her vision failed, her other senses became exceptionally sensitive, and she was so hot that she was almost sweating.

Dizzy from his kisses, Shi Ying had only one thought in her mind.

Shang Chenyan really loved hugging and kissing her.

Whenever I'm with him, he seems to want to stick to me like a suction cup.

Shang Chenyan covered her eyes and felt her eyelashes gently brush against his palm, a tingling, itchy sensation that spread along the lines of his palm to his entire body.

"Stop...stop it..." Shi Ying finally managed to break free from him, glaring at him with wet eyes. "Stop messing around, I haven't eaten anything yet."

"You eat yours." Shang Chenyan hugged her from behind, lowered his head and kissed the back of her neck. "I'll eat mine."

Shi Ying's face turned bright red, almost steaming. She gritted her teeth, resisting her body's reaction: "How am I supposed to eat like this? Do you want me to starve to death?"

Shang Chenyan sighed and stopped what he was doing: "Alright, I won't tease you anymore."

Shi Ying then hummed in response and took a sip of hot soup.

"We'll continue when we get back tonight."

Shi Ying almost choked on her own.

Shang Chenyan wiped the corner of her mouth: "Is tonight okay, baby?"

"Don't call me that, it's so cheesy." Shi Ying felt weak all over when she heard it, because his voice was so nice and he was calling her by such an intimate and affectionate name.

"Also, you're almost thirty, you should know how to be moderate," Shi Ying deliberately teased him.

"I've already been very restrained." Shang Chenyan buried his chin in her shoulder and neck. "If I hadn't been restrained, would you still be sitting here now?"

Shi Ying blushed even more, unable to argue with him at all.

She shut up and focused on eating her lunch.

The midday sun was warm, and after Shi Ying finished eating, she leaned against Shang Chenyan and dozed off.

"Go to bed, okay?"

"Hmm..." she mumbled, and naturally reached out to hug him, "I don't want to move, carry me inside."

Shang Chenyan chuckled softly, "Okay."
