"Finally, I have a chance to spend some time alone with you."

He Yunshen's voice was deep as he gazed at Bai Yishu in the dim light, his eyes filled with suppressed longing.

What are you doing?

Bai Yishu was startled by his action and lowered her voice, not daring to speak loudly.

What do you think?

He Yun Shen chuckled softly, pinned her against the wall, supported her head with one hand, and gently pinched her cheek with the other.

"I'm going crazy thinking about you, Miss Bai."

Bai Yishu gazed at He Yunshen's face, which was so close to hers, and gently put her arms around his neck.

"You were putting on quite a convincing act just now."

"Of course, you have to maintain a certain image in front of your elders."

He Yun Shen recalled his feigned aloofness earlier and smiled helplessly, his breath brushing against Bai Yi Shu's lips.

"But now..."

His eyes darkened, and he suddenly lowered his head to kiss Bai Yishu's lips, instantly stealing her breath.

The temperature in the cramped storage room kept rising, and the air was filled with ambiguous and blush-inducing breathing and sucking sounds.

After what seemed like an eternity, He Yun Shen reluctantly released her, his gaze lingering on her lips, slightly swollen from the kiss.

I wish I could hold you like this forever...

His breathing was slightly rapid, and his heart was pounding in his chest.

Suddenly, footsteps came from outside the door, the sound growing louder as they approached. He Yun Shen leaned forward slightly, supporting Bai Yi Shu's head and pulling her into his arms, listening intently to the sounds outside.

He breathed a sigh of relief as the footsteps faded into the distance.

"We need to go back, or we'll arouse suspicion."

"Hold me a little longer."

Bai Yishu buried her head in He Yunshen's clothes, trying to calm her breathing.

She knew her face must be as red as a persimmon right now, and if she went out now, no one would believe her if she said she was fine.

"Okay, just for a little while."

He Yun Shen's heart softened, and he tightened his arms to hold her tightly in his embrace, closing his eyes to enjoy this moment of intimacy.

After a moment, he said reluctantly, "We really should go. If we don't leave soon, they'll come looking for us."

Bai Yishu raised her head and, taking advantage of his lowered head, quickly gave him a light peck on the lips before letting go.

He Yun Shen smiled indulgently, straightened his own clothes, and then helped her tidy her hair and collar.

"Alright, go out now, I'll stay a bit longer."

Bai Yishu opened the door to the storage room and, seeing that no one was around, immediately came out.

She walked quickly toward the restaurant, and on her way back, she inadvertently saw her reflection in the window. Her cheeks still had a slight blush, and her eyes were filled with a dreamy look after being aroused. The restlessness she had suppressed was starting to rise again.

Bai Yishu returned to the restaurant and sat down. Seeing that no one else had noticed anything unusual about her, she secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

He Yun Shen returned to the restaurant a few minutes later. He sat down calmly and composedly, picked up the water glass on the table, and took a sip.

"Sorry to keep you all waiting."

The elders at the table continued their conversation, while He Wanqing, while drinking water, kept glancing back and forth between her and He Yunshen with a gossipy look.

Bai Yishu secretly sent her a few messages under the table with her phone. Only after she saw them did she finally look away.

As the gathering drew to a close, Grandma He glanced at the time and smiled at Bai Yishu's parents, saying, "It's getting late, the children must be tired."

As she spoke, she looked at Bai Yishu again.

"Yi Shu, remember to come over to our house when you have time. If you've made up your mind about your internship, just tell Yun Shen."

Bai Yishu agreed, and after exchanging a few more pleasantries with her parents, she left the He family home.

He Yun Shen got up to see the guests off, and when the others weren't paying attention, he walked over to Bai Yi Shu's side and whispered something.

"Message me when you get home."

Bai Yishu glanced at him in response.

"Chairman Bai, Mrs. Bai, please take care."

He Yun Shen stood outside the door watching Bai Yi Shu leave, and only turned back into the house after the car disappeared from sight, only to be met with the gaze of his mother.

"Yun Shen, you can just see the guest to the door. Why are you staring at their car for so long?"

He Yun Shen's heart tightened, but he remained outwardly calm.

"Mom, what are you saying? I was just watching them leave."

Mother He snorted lightly, clearly not believing it, but did not press the matter further.

"Alright, stop playing dumb in front of Mom. Just keep some things to yourself."

She left those words behind and turned to walk towards the living room.

He Yun Shen returned to his room and picked up his phone to send a message to Bai Yi Shu.

"Are you home yet?"

"arrive."

A smile unconsciously crept onto He Yun Shen's lips as he quickly typed.

"Are you available to take this call now? I'd like to hear your voice."

Bai Yishu secretly rejoiced when she saw the message from He Yunshen. After getting out of the car, she quickly returned to her room, locked the door, and called him.

"What's wrong?"

He Yun Shen pressed the answer button almost immediately, and a lazy voice came from the other end of the phone.

"It's nothing, I just missed you. I was trying to find a chance to talk to you properly while we were eating."

He paused for a moment, his tone becoming somewhat serious.

"Also, I wanted to ask how your decision regarding the internship is going?"

"I haven't decided yet."

"No rush, take your time to think it over. I just... hope to have more opportunities to see you."

He Yun Shen really wanted her to come work at He's, but he was afraid that urging her to agree would put pressure on her, so he could only ask her tentatively.

"If you come to the He family, I can personally guide you."

Bai Yishu pondered for a moment, then walked to the computer and opened the He Group's official website to browse through it.

"So, what position do you plan to assign me?"

He Yun Shen was secretly pleased when he heard Bai Yi Shu's question, and pondered for a moment on the other end of the phone.

"Hmm...how about we arrange it according to your major and interests?"

Bai Yishu looked at the internship recruitment information displayed on the official website, and it seemed that the competition was quite fierce.

"However, if you don't have any particular plans, how about becoming my special assistant?"

"assistant?"

"right."

He Yun Shen chuckled softly, imagining Bai Yi Shu working beside him, his smile deepening.

"The job mainly involves assisting me with various tasks, and occasionally accompanying me to certain events. How about it? Interested?"

Bai Yishu frowned, recalling the usual behavior of her father's assistant, and felt a sense of resistance.

"I don't want that. Isn't that just doing menial tasks?"

He Yun Shen was amused by her answer, his voice full of affection.

"Fool, of course I'm not doing odd jobs."

He cleared his throat, trying to persuade her.

"My special assistant—this is a very important position, with access to the company's core business. Plus, I get to spend every day with her. Isn't that appealing?"
