Roses in Flames

Ye Yuntang is indeed bold in private.

But at work, she still didn't dare to act recklessly.

After all, the two are public officials and need to be mindful of their image.

With her waist held down by the man's large hand, she couldn't move and could only sit on his lap in a panic.

She looked at him, her long eyelashes fluttering slightly. "Aren't you afraid?"

Xiao Lin leaned back in his chair, his tall frame with smooth, cold, and imposing lines, exuding an aura of rugged, aloof handsomeness.

Ye Yuntang noticed his sharp, sexy Adam's apple bobbing slightly.

She had a misconception that he was seducing her.

To be honest, seeing him like this, she really wanted to kiss him.

His eyes were long and deep, like whirlpools that could easily draw people in.

Ye Yuntang felt her ears burning slightly under his gaze. "Why aren't you saying anything?"

The man's brows furrowed slightly. "Were you mistreated at Old Master Fu's birthday banquet tonight?"

Ye Yuntang was stunned for a moment, then reacted. Like a proud peacock, she raised her chin and said, "What's all this grievance? I'll dominate tonight!"

She couldn't help but tell the story of how she turned the tables and embarrassed Fu Shili.

As she was talking, she suddenly felt something cold touch her wrist.

She glanced down and noticed a bracelet suddenly appearing on her wrist.

The bracelet is a new product from a major brand, and it starts at least in the five-figure range.

The fine diamonds gleamed under the light.

Ye Yuntang blinked, somewhat surprised. "Why did you give me this?"

This bracelet must cost him several months' salary!

Xiao Lin's dark eyes were unfathomable, his emotions unclear. "I bought it on a whim while on a business trip."

Ye Yuntang looked at the bracelet on her wrist, her delicate brows furrowing. "It's very expensive, no, why did you give me this?"

Xiao Lin's handsome, resolute face showed a slightly awkward expression. "You helped me before I went on my business trip."

Ye Yuntang glanced at her slender white fingers and understood what he meant by "help".

Her eyes darted around, and her expression became somewhat unnatural.

She didn't dare meet his gaze and muttered softly, "You didn't need to give such an expensive gift!"

She tried to take off the bracelet and return it to him, but he held it firmly in his large hand.

He said in a deep, authoritative voice, "Wear it, don't take it off."

Ye Yuntang pursed her red lips, raised her long eyelashes, and looked at him with bright eyes, "Why don't you give it to Bai Chuwei? She's in a vulnerable position right now and needs someone to care for her. If you give it to her, maybe she'll..."

Before she could finish speaking, he interrupted her coldly with a stern face, "Ye Yuntang, why do you always bring up Bai Chuwei?"

Before Ye Yuntang could say anything, she heard his deep, cold voice say, "You care about her? Are you jealous?"

"I'm not jealous at all, don't flatter yourself." She glared at him, annoyed. "I just feel that since something happened to her, as her ex-fiancé, you should feel a little sorry for her."

Xiao Lin's features were taut. "Didn't I say last time that I don't have Bai Chuwei in my heart?" He paused, then added, "You are my first woman."

Ye Yuntang looked at Xiao Lin in disbelief, a smile appearing in her beautiful eyes. "Really? You're twenty-eight and still a virgin? You've never slept with Bai Chuwei..."

Before she could finish speaking, the man reached out and covered her red lips with his large hand.

He glared at her, his ears burning, "Your voice could be any louder!"

Ye Yuntang was indeed somewhat shocked.

She never imagined that it was his first time, even though it was a one-night stand.

"Your performance in bed doesn't seem like someone who's never been in love before." Her eyes crinkled into a smile, bright and radiant. "You're exceptionally gifted, a natural-born talent."

Xiao Lin gritted his teeth so hard they almost broke. "Ye Yuntang, try smiling again!"

He kindly told her, but she still dared to laugh at him.

Ye Yuntang's eyebrows curved even more sharply, "I just laughed, and it swelled up... um!"

Before she could finish speaking, he silenced her with his thin, powerful lips.

Ye Yuntang's beautiful eyes suddenly widened as his kiss came fiercely, instantly robbing her of her sense of breath and taste.

A week later, when he kissed me like that again, the moment our lips touched, it felt like countless tiny electric currents were running through me.

His breath was warm and hot, as if it wanted to melt her.

He held her slender waist with one large hand and the back of her head with the other, pulling her tightly into his arms, leaving her nowhere to escape.

The office door was only slightly ajar, and someone could come in at any moment.

Ye Yuntang's heart pounded like a drum, filled with both fear and palpitations.

This sense of secrecy, this feeling of being unable to see the light of day, is as thrilling and exciting as having an affair.

He pried open her lips and teeth, and went straight in.

The scent unique to men permeated every corner of her lips.

"Boss..."

Suddenly, Cheng Lei's voice came from outside.

Ye Yuntang was startled and instinctively tried to stand up from the man's lap.

But the man didn't let go of her. He looked down at her, his deep eyes dark, his breath hot. "Are you still going to smile?"

Ye Yuntang panicked and quickly admitted defeat, "I won't laugh anymore."

He still wouldn't let go of her, his large hand around her waist gently caressing her through her clothes. "Are you going to mention Bai Chuwei again?"

Ye Yuntang was truly impressed by him.

She suppressed the itch in her waist and gritted her teeth, saying, "Let's not talk about it anymore."

Cheng Lei's footsteps approached from afar.

The moment the office door was pushed open, Xiao Lin released her.

Ye Yuntang quickly squatted down and tidied her clothes and hair.

She glared at the well-dressed man sitting in the leather chair and couldn't help but pinch his thigh.

"Boss, we've made a major discovery!"

Cheng Lei pushed the door open and came in.

At the same time, Ye Yuntang pretended to drop a document, picked it up, and stood up from the ground.

When her eyes met Cheng Lei's, she looked away guiltily.

Cheng Lei exclaimed in surprise, "Sister Yuntang, you're here too?"

After saying that, he noticed something was wrong. "Sister Yuntang, why are your lips swollen? Are you suffering from internal heat?"

Ye Yuntang secretly rejoiced, thankfully Lei Zi and the others were straight men and wouldn't make any bad connections.

"I got bitten by a mosquito." She glanced out of the corner of her eye at the cool and composed man sitting in the leather chair. He was the best at pretending. He was righteous and awe-inspiring in front of others, but a beast in human clothing in private.

Cheng Lei laughed and said, "Mosquitoes only bite pretty girls. They don't even want to bite rough guys like us. They'll only bite our arms at most, not our mouths."

Ye Yuntang smiled somewhat embarrassedly.

Xiao Lin glanced at Cheng Lei. "Alright, let's get down to business."

Cheng Lei took out his phone and opened a surveillance video. "We found a suspicious figure on the surveillance footage outside the Fu Family Manor. He has been appearing outside the manor around 7 to 8 pm for the past few days, and he is fully armed."

Xiao Lin narrowed his dark eyes slightly. "Have you found out his identity?"

Cheng Lei nodded. "Found it, it is—"
