She was wondering if there was any way she could comfort Si Lijue, at least make him smile and feel better.

"ah!"

However, before Mu Baoer could finish what she was brewing, Si Lijue suddenly stood up, grabbed Mu Baoer's wrist and pulled her into his arms.

Mu Baoer's face suddenly turned red, and the tip of her tongue felt numb, "Boss..."

"Don't talk, let me hold you for a while." Si Lijue interrupted Mu Baoer, rested his chin on the top of her head, and said in a muffled voice, "It will be fine in a while."

Si Lijue's voice was hoarse as if it had been rubbed on sand, and it was a little trembling, which made people feel particularly distressed.

Mu Baoer's heart suddenly felt achy. He couldn't imagine that someone as powerful as Si Lijue would be forced to this point and reveal such a soft side. And the origin of all this was because of... himself.

Mu Baoer couldn't help but wonder, if Si Lijue hadn't brought her to the Tengfei Group's anniversary celebration, if Wang Minghao hadn't seen her, and if Si Lijue hadn't done anything to embarrass him in order to protect her, would things have been different?

The answer is no. The phone call that the man from the board of directors made when he left explained everything. Someone couldn't tolerate Si Lijue.

Even if there is no Wang Minghao, there will be Zhang Minghao, Li Minghao, and Chen Minghao. They will not let go of any opportunity to bring down Si Lijue.

The MR Group, which is rich enough to rival a country, sits in that position, deciding the life and death of everyone, like an emperor at the pinnacle of power, looking down on all living beings.

Si Lijue has been in this position for too long, especially because of his drastic decisions that affected some interests. They want to pull him down and see him fail miserably!

Mu Baoer felt even more distressed and twitched violently. She wanted to help him remove those obstacles in her own way, but her reason told her not to. This was not the world without rules.

Kings are always lonely. Is Si Lijue the same?

Mu Baoer closed her eyes, softened her body and pressed it against his chest, listening to the strong heartbeat in his chest. She closed her eyes, paused, and tentatively reached out to grab the clothes around his waist.

Seeing that Si Lijue did not refuse, she put her arms around his waist and a sweet smile appeared on her face.

Their breaths were so close together that Si Lijue stiffened for a moment, then he became calm and composed. His cold face also relaxed. He lowered his eyes and stared at Mu Baoer, with an unfathomable light in his eyes.

Little thing, do you know what you are doing?

In the quiet office, the years were peaceful, but on the opposite floor, someone was filming everything with a camera, with a sinister smile. Once a person has a soft spot, it is much easier to deal with him.

It took about a century before Si Lijue finally let Mu Baoer go. There was a fire hidden in his deep eyes, burning fiercely, burning Mu Baoer's whole body red.

She didn't even dare to look Si Lijue in the eye. She lowered her head and said in a hoarse voice, "President, I'll go get you a glass of water." It would be best if it was ice water to cool you down!

It was true that she liked Si Lijue a little, but she was not ready to devote herself to him.

There are so many secrets between the two people.

As long as those things cannot be expressed openly, this love will be shrouded in a veil.

Just as she turned around, someone grabbed her wrist again and looked at her with a smile, "No rush."

If you are not anxious, I am. Mu Baoer bit her lips, leaving blood-red marks.

"Bao'er, you just hugged me." Si Lijue approached her, wrapped her in his arms, hooked her chin, and slowly said something that Mu Bao'er was embarrassed to face, "Why did you hug me? You like me, don't you?"

boom!

Mu Baoer's mind went blank. She liked Si Lijue, but the feeling was completely different when she said it herself and when someone else said it, especially when that other person was Si Lijue himself!

Mu Baoer's face was flushed, which was pleasing to the eye.

This reaction pleased Si Lijue, and the smile in his deep eyes deepened, like a dazzling sea of ​​stars, luring curious people.

Mu Baoer suddenly calmed down, raised her eyes and looked directly at Si Lijue, with cunning hidden in her cat-like eyes.

If I remember correctly, I should have asked this question before. Just a few nights ago, when Si Lijue kissed me, she asked, "President, why did you kiss me?"

What did Si Lijue answer at that time? I invited him.

very good!

"Boss, narcissism is a disease that needs to be treated. I just saw you so pitiful and my motherly love overflowed, so I couldn't help but hug you. Don't think too much about it."

Look, this is Mu Baoer, who will never let go of any grudge.

There was a slight crack in the smile on Si Lijue's face, and the hand that was pinching her chin couldn't help but tighten a little.

Very good!

Not only did she deny that she liked me, but she also gave herself a higher generation with her overflowing maternal love!

His smile turned terrifying, and Si Lijue gritted his teeth and said, "Bao'er, I haven't seen you for three days, and your eloquence has improved a lot!"

Mu Baoer smiled modestly, "There are so many wolves, tigers and leopards around the president. If he doesn't learn to be more alert and worldly-wise, I'm afraid I won't be able to wait until you come back."

Si Lijue narrowed his eyes and said in a somewhat cold tone, "Are you still blaming me for not bringing you along?"

"Of course not." Mu Baoer's eyes flickered, and she smiled brightly, "I just want to learn more, so that I can work harder to help you, President."

He said it nicely, but actually he was still blaming himself for not bringing her along.

How could he bear to let her set foot in such a dangerous place?

Deliberately ignoring the resentment in her eyes, Si Lijue's eyes flashed and he tapped her nose affectionately, "Sophistry."

Mu Baoer hummed softly.

"I brought you a gift." Si Lijue suddenly said, turned back to his desk, took out a small square box from the drawer and handed it to Mu Baoer.

"It's for me, thank you, President!"

Mu Baoer happily took it, looked around the small pink gift box, and asked expectantly, "Can I open it now?"

Si Lijue nodded, "Okay."

Mu Baoer happily opened the box. It was Bulgari jewelry, but the packaging was very simple and elegant, which made people love it very much.

Mu Baoer couldn't let it go and sighed in her heart that Si Lijue finally knew how to give gifts.

However, when she opened the box with great anticipation, the diamond ring she saw made her feel suffocated and her vision went dark.

As expected, I didn't have any expectations for Si Lijue.

A ring on black velvet—no, it can't be called a ring, because no one else's ring has a diamond as big as an egg! Is this for wearing on your hand? Mu Baoer was speechless.

Noticing Mu Baoer's frozen smile, Si Lijue frowned and asked, "Don't you like it?"

Do you think my expression looks like I like it?

But, a diamond as big as an egg shouldn’t be cheap, right?

Considering the price, Mu Baoer decided to go against her conscience and said with a bright smile: "No, I like it very much!"
