What are you doing, Mr. President? I'm just an extra!

A few screams could be faintly heard from outside.

That sounds terrible.

It was the sound of several burly men pressing and rubbing the ground.

Lu Li found it very satisfying.

Should.

I told you to cut the wires, I told you to ruin my good plans.

Ye Fan is probably already being treated like a cable thief by the security guards and dragged to the security room for "in-depth discussion".

But the problem now isn't Ye Fan, it's the woman in his arms.

Su Feiyan nestled into Lu Li's arms.

Her hands gripped Lu Li's shirt collar, her body still trembling slightly.

Even though Lu Li had just comforted her in that extremely ambiguous way, she still refused to let go.

"President Su?"

Lu Li tentatively called out.

"Um...should we turn on the lights first?"

There's a power outage now, but there should be a backup power source or a flashlight in this villa, right?

We can't keep holding each other like this in the dark.

Although it feels good.

Soft and fragrant like jade.

The fabric of the fishtail skirt couldn't block the heat emanating from her body at all.

Lu Li felt like he was a furnace about to explode.

"don't want."

Su Feiyan's voice muffled in his chest.

The once powerful and assertive female CEO is gone.

Right now, she's just a little girl who's afraid of the dark.

"Don't move."

"Don't go anywhere."

"Right here."

Su Feiyan raised her head.

In the darkness, Lu Li couldn't see her expression.

All that could be seen were a pair of eyes reflecting the faint light from outside the window.

It was watery.

With a hint of pleading.

"Lu Li".

"tonight……"

"Sleep with me."

Lu Li's mind went blank for a moment.

[Holy crap?!]

[Sleeping with someone?]

Is it really that direct?

【I'm a legitimate assistant, but this... is it considered a perk?】

[No, this should be considered overtime!]

Lu Li swallowed.

The Adam's apple moves up and down.

"cough."

"President Su, isn't this... a bit inappropriate?"

"A lone man and a lone woman."

"It won't be good for your reputation if this gets out."

He said no.

His body, however, was honest and he didn't push her away.

He even stroked her smooth back a couple more times.

That's the feel of top-quality silk.

It's also the back of a top-tier beauty.

Su Feiyan didn't seem to realize that he was taking advantage of her.

Or.

She doesn't care about any of that right now.

Fear gripped her nerves; all she wanted was a source of heat.

A presence that makes her feel safe.

"Sleep here."

Su Feiyan pointed to the leather sofa beneath her.

Very big.

It's very soft.

There's enough room for two people to lie down.

"I'm not going back to my room."

"The room is too big."

"null."

"You're here."

She spoke the last three words very softly.

But it struck Lu Li's heart like a hammer.

Lu Li sighed.

It’s over.

This woman is more destructive when she shows weakness than when she's enraged.

It's simply unbearable.

"Alright."

"As long as you don't mind, Mr. Su."

"I'm a grown man, I can sleep anywhere."

"but……"

Lu Li paused.

"We need to build something, right?"

"It's getting colder on this rainy day."

"Even catching a cold counts as a work-related injury."

Su Feiyan remained silent for two seconds.

He loosened one hand.

He pointed to the cabinet not far away.

"There."

"There are blankets."

Lu Li was just about to get up to get it.

My waist tightened.

Su Feiyan gripped his belt tightly with her other hand.

"Take me with you."

Lu Li: "..."

Goodness!

Are these real conjoined twins?

Do I need to bring it even when I go to the toilet?

resignedly.

Lu Li could only maintain this half-carrying, half-dragging posture, like a kangaroo carrying its baby, and moved two steps at a time to the cabinet.

I opened the cabinet door and found a cashmere blanket.

The two moved back to the sofa in the same manner.

This is how it happened.

Their bodies rubbed against each other countless times.

Thighs rubbing against thighs.

His chest rubbed against his arm.

Lu Li felt as if his iron kidneys were protesting.

This is too torturous.

It's tangible.

Unable to eat it.

That's pure torture.

Back on the sofa, Lu Li first spread out the blanket.

Then he sat down carefully.

Su Feiyan immediately followed suit and pressed herself against him.

This time, she didn't cling to him like she had before.

Instead, he lay down on his side.

She rested her head on Lu Li's lap.

Lu Li's thigh muscles tensed instantly.

Su Feiyan was somewhat dissatisfied, so she moved her head and adjusted it to a comfortable angle.

That was an extremely dangerous location.

It was only a few centimeters away from the place that could explode with just a spark.

Lu Li gasped.

【Grandma!】

You're playing with fire!

Do you know what you're using as a pillow?

That's a strategic location!

[If it goes off accidentally, who will be responsible?]

Su Feiyan heard everything, but she didn't care at all.

She pulled the blanket over them.

The blanket is very big.

It covered Lu Li's lower body and her entire body.

It formed a small, enclosed space.

In this space, their body temperatures quickly mingled.

Steaming hot.

Su Feiyan's hands were also busy.

She slipped under the blanket, wrapped her arms around Lu Li's waist, and pressed her cheek against the inside of his thigh.

The skin there is very thin, and the temperature is very high.

She rubbed against him and let out a satisfied sigh.

"Lu Li".

"Um?"

Lu Li's voice trembled.

He was trying his best to control his breathing.

"Tell me a story."

I want to hear it.

Lu Li rolled her eyes.

[Tell a story?]

I'm your assistant, not your father.

Besides, with this atmosphere, are we supposed to tell a story about Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs?

"What are you going to say?"

Lu Li asked.

"casual."

Su Feiyan's voice grew softer and softer.

Feeling extremely sleepy.

The fright she just experienced had drained her of a lot of energy.

Now I'm in this warm, strong, and safe embrace.

Those fears slowly subsided.

All that's left is exhaustion.

Lu Li thought for a moment.

Once upon a time, there was a mountain, and on the mountain was a temple.

"There is an old monk and a young monk in the temple."

One day, the old monk said to the young monk...

Su Feiyan pinched the soft flesh on his waist with her fingers.

It doesn't hurt.

It's a little itchy.

"Change to another one."

"I won't listen to the monk."

"I want to hear...something nice."

This is a coquettish tone.

Lu Li was completely speechless.

He looked down at the woman on his lap, but couldn't make out her features.

But that silhouette, that breathing frequency, were telling him something.

She was truly exhausted.

She truly trusted him.

She actually dared to sleep on the lap of a virile young man, wasn't she afraid of being devoured by him in the middle of the night, leaving not even bones behind?

"OK."

"Then let me tell you a story about salted fish."

Lu Li spoke very softly.

It's very magnetic.

In this quiet, rainy night, it's like a lullaby.

Once upon a time, there was a salted fish.

"Its dream is to turn things around."

"But turning over is too tiring."

"So it decided to lie down."

"later……"

"It encountered a very fierce cat."

"That cat always wants to eat it."

"But the skin of salted fish is too thick for a cat to bite."

"So the cat decided to keep the salted fish."

"I sleep with it every day."

"Using salted fish as a pillow."

"Over time..."

Lu Li started making things up.

I could feel my breathing becoming steady and long in my legs.

Su Feiyan fell asleep.

She really fell asleep.

On this dark, powerless night.

She rested her head on Lu Li's lap and slept more soundly than ever before.

Lu Li stopped telling the story.

Only the sound of their breathing and the sound of rain outside the window remained in the room.

Lu Li lowered his head.

By the occasional flash of lightning outside the window.

He saw Su Feiyan's sleeping face clearly.

The usual overbearing and aggressive demeanor was gone.

That aloof and cold demeanor is gone.

At this moment, her brows were slightly furrowed, and her eyelashes were very long.

A small shadow is cast under the eyelid.

Her lips were slightly pouting.

It's like I dreamt about something unpleasant.

There was even a trace of glistening on the corner of her mouth.

That's... saliva?

Lu Li almost burst out laughing.

【puff.】

[Shocking! The icy female CEO's sleeping posture is surprisingly adorable!]

Lu Li complained inwardly.

But the movements of his hands were very gentle.

He held up one finger.

Gently, it was placed on Su Feiyan's brow.

There's a tiny "川" character wrinkled there.

It's like there are too many knots in my heart that I can't untie.

Lu Li gently massaged it.

Untie that knot.

Smooth that frown.

A delicate touch came from my fingertips.

That skin was even more smooth and supple than the finest mutton fat jade.

Lu Li's heart skipped a beat.

【actually……】

[This female demon isn't that scary.]

[His usual fierce demeanor is just a protective layer.]

[Once she takes off her makeup and falls asleep, isn't she just a little girl who needs to be comforted?]

【sometimes……】

[They're actually quite cute.]

Lu Li thought to himself.

He didn't notice.

Just as the thought "quite cute" popped into his mind.

Su Feiyan, who was resting her head on his lap, was breathing steadily.

There was a moment of chaos.

Those were extremely subtle changes.

If you don't listen carefully, you won't notice it at all.

Su Feiyan was not completely asleep.

She still retained a sliver of consciousness.

That was a habit of vigilance developed over many years.

She heard it.

I heard that voice in my heart.

It was as clear as if it were being spoken right in her ear.

[Quite cute.]

This guy.

They actually praised her for being cute?

In his heart before.

She's either a female demon or a ruthless tyrant.

Su Feiyan closed her eyes.

Feel the warmth of the finger between my eyebrows.

Rough.

powerful.

Is this what it feels like to be cared for?

There's no need to calculate it.

There's no need to be on guard.

There's no need to arm yourself into an invincible warrior.

All you need to do is lie down.

sleep.

Entrust everything to this person.

A warm feeling welled up in Su Feiyan's heart.

That felt even warmer than the cashmere blanket I was wearing.

She did not open her eyes.

In the darkness, however, her lips slowly curved upwards into a small arc.

fool.

If you keep thinking like that...

Then I'll...

I'll always be cute for you.

……

Late at night.

The rain was still drizzling, but the thunder had subsided considerably.

The villa was pitch black.

Lu Li remained in that sitting posture.

Not moving at all.

His legs were numb and he had completely lost sensation.

But he didn't move, nor did he push Su Feiyan away, and he didn't even change his posture.

I was afraid of waking the person on my lap.

【hiss……】

This is practically like practicing virginity training!

Leg numbness is a minor issue.

The key point is...

This really tests one's patience.

Su Feiyan doesn't sleep very well.

It would occasionally rub against me a couple of times.

Every rub.

For Lu Li, this was a life-or-death test.

He had to muster all his willpower.

To suppress that restless "Little Lu Li".

【no. 】

Don't think about that kind of thing.

That's worse than being a beast.

We need something else.

Think about pi.

【3.1415926...】

Think about the stock market tomorrow.

[Think about what that unlucky bastard Ye Fan is doing right now.]

Lu Li forced herself to shift her attention.

But his hand was on Su Feiyan's back.

But it was never removed.

I kept patting it gently.

a bit.

a bit.

It was an instinctive act of protection, and also a silent promise.

Time passed by, second by second.

Lu Li felt like he was about to become a Buddha.

This is the state of being able to remain unmoved even when someone is in your lap.

Even Liu Xiahui would have to call him "elder brother" if he came.

I don't know how much time has passed.

The rain outside the window has stopped.

The sky was beginning to lighten with the first light of dawn.

The faint morning light streamed into the living room through the floor-to-ceiling windows.

It spilled onto the two figures nestled together on the sofa.

The scene is beautiful.

If you didn't look at Lu Li's face, which seemed to say, "I'm in so much pain, but I can't say it."

Su Feiyan stirred.

Her long eyelashes trembled a few times.

He slowly opened his eyes.

That instant.

Her eyes looked somewhat lost.

Followed by.

She felt the sensation beneath her.

It's hard.

It's warm.

And that familiar taste.

Memories return.

She remembered.

There was a power outage last night, and she's afraid of the dark.

then……

Su Feiyan suddenly looked up.

It met Lu Li's eyes, which were covered in bloodshot veins.

And those huge dark circles under his eyes.

Good morning.

"President Su."

His voice was deep and hoarse.

Su Feiyan was stunned.

She looked at Lu Li, then at the spot where she was resting her head.

Then look at that blanket that hasn't moved at all.

She suddenly realized something.

This man.

I sat there all night.

To make her comfortable, he didn't even change his position, and he didn't even go to the toilet.

Su Feiyan's heart skipped a beat.

That feeling.

sour.

It's going up.

It looked like it was filled with something.

Men had done this for her before.

That was to please her.

For her money.

For the sake of the Su family's power.

But Lu Li is different.

She could hear his inner thoughts.

She knew what he was thinking that night.

He was complaining about his numb legs.

He was reciting pi.

He was cursing Ye Fan.

But he never thought of pushing her away, nor did he think of using this opportunity to do anything out of line.

Aside from that "quite cute".

Su Feiyan's expression changed.

that moment.

Much of the ice in her eyes melted away.

"morning."

Su Feiyan responded softly.

She did not get up immediately.

Instead, he reached out his hand.

He touched Lu Li's stubble-covered chin.

It's a bit tough.

"Are your legs numb?"

She asked the question knowing the answer already.

Lu Li gave a wry smile.

"good."

"It feels like these two legs no longer belong to me."

"Amputation may be necessary."

"If I really have to have my leg amputated, Mr. Su, you'll have to take care of me for the rest of my life."

He was joking, trying to cover up the awkwardness and ambiguity.

But Su Feiyan didn't laugh; she looked into Lu Li's eyes.

He said it word by word.

"it is good."

I'll take care of you.

Lu Li: "..."

【this……】

[This script isn't right?]

Shouldn't they call me dramatic and deduct my salary at this point?

Why are you suddenly being so affectionate?

Su Feiyan looked at his flattered yet somewhat frightened expression.

The smile on his lips deepened.

She propped herself up and slowly sat up.

The blanket slipped off.

Her slightly disheveled skirt and her snow-white waist were revealed.

The morning light shone on her, gilding her with a golden edge, making her breathtakingly beautiful.

Lu Li quickly looked away.

Do not look at what is improper.

If I look at it again, I'll have to memorize pi again.

"I'm going to wash up."

Su Feiyan stood up and stepped barefoot onto the carpet.

I took two steps.

She suddenly stopped.

Look back.

Looking at Lu Li, who was still rubbing his legs.

"Lu Li".

"Um?"

"last night……"

Su Feiyan paused.

A slight blush rose to her cheeks.

That was a rare display of shyness.

"The service was good last night."

"I am very satisfied."

"The ten million bonus doesn't need to be deducted."

Done.

She turned and walked toward the bathroom.

Their steps were light and quick.

[Ding! System notification: Su Feiyan's favorability has reached 50 (Intimacy and Trust)]

Lu Li sat on the sofa.

I rubbed my thigh, which felt like it was being pricked with needles.

But she was secretly overjoyed.

【Hey.】

[The favorability rating is there, and the ten million is saved!]

Although my legs are almost useless...

[But this is still a worthwhile investment!]

【but……】

Lu Li looked down at the spot where her body heat still lingered.

I remembered that gentle look in your eyes again.

This female demon...

Could it be that she's actually fallen for me?

Should I start preparing my dowry?

If only I could marry into a wealthy family and become a kept man...

It smells pretty good, doesn't it?

Lu Li grinned foolishly.

But he didn't know that.

in the bathroom.

Su Feiyan was brushing her teeth in front of the mirror.

Looking at myself in the mirror, with a smiling face and gentle eyes.

They were thinking about the same thing.

Marrying into another family?

No need for that.

This salted fish had already been branded with the Su Group's name by her.

You can forget about escaping in this lifetime.
