She lowered her hand, leaned on the windowsill, and looked out at the vast blue sky.
After a long while, a shadow loomed over from behind.
Xie Jingrun had a very clean and refreshing scent, like pine branches after the rain—fresh, with a touch of coolness…
Rong Qingqing was already a familiar face to her.
Upon smelling this scent, she knew Xie Jingrun had arrived.
She paused, and just as she was about to get up, the man's arms suddenly reached out from behind, bracing themselves on the windowsill and encircling her.
"What are you thinking about?"
The man's voice descended from above, magnetic yet with a touch of gentleness.
Rong Qingqing's heart trembled, and she tried to curl herself up into an even smaller ball to avoid his domineering and hot aura.
"It's nothing." She shook her head, not daring to turn around.
"Then what are you doing sitting here?" Xie Jingrun asked again.
"To see the scenery," Rong Qingqing blurted out. Afraid he wouldn't believe her, she even raised her hand and pointed to the vast blue sky outside and the bustling crowd on the street.
"What's so interesting about these?" Xie Jingrun looked at the crowd of people jostling each other on the street with some confusion.
"I was just looking around." Rong Qingqing felt extremely awkward and uncomfortable, her face flushed as she said, "Could you move aside a little so I can get up?"
Seeing that she had curled up into a tiny ball, Xie Jingrun found it amusing. "Am I some kind of monster that has scared you like this?"
"I'm not afraid of you at all." Rong Qingqing quickly turned around and said, afraid that he would overthink it.
Unexpectedly, Xie Jingrun leaned down, getting extremely close to her. She turned around abruptly and almost bumped into his handsome nose.
Her long eyelashes trembled, and just as she was about to pull away, the man's soft lips suddenly covered hers.
Rong Qingqing seemed to hear the sound of her own heartbeat, fast and loud, as if it was about to jump out of her chest.
Xie Jingrun pinned her against the windowsill, leaned down, and moved somewhat hastily.
Rong Qingqing felt dizzy for a moment.
Unlike the kiss in the private room just now, this time, his mouth was full of aggressive intent.
Her eyes widened, and she forgot to react.
Until the man's warm palm covered her eyes.
"Close your eyes," the man said in a low, hoarse voice.
A tingling sensation came from her lips, and Rong Qingqing subconsciously closed her eyes.
Looking at the girl's obedient and compliant manner, Xie Jingrun felt a sense of satisfaction growing within him.
His heart fluttered, and he slowed his movements, kissing her lips almost reverently.
Rong Qingqing's mind was completely blank until her body was lifted into the air, at which point she jolted back to her senses.
Her eyes were glistening with tears as she looked at him blankly. "What are you going to do?" Then, as if remembering something, the blankness in her eyes faded, replaced by a hint of wariness.
Seeing the wariness in the girl's eyes, Xie Jingrun's lips curled into a smile, and he leaned closer. "What do you think I'm going to do?"
The man's breath tickled her face, and Rong Qingqing quickly pushed against his chest, saying, "Whatever you're going to do, put me down first."
Seeing the flustered girl, Xie Jingrun stopped teasing her, put her down on the ground, and instead took her hand, saying, "I have some free time today, so I'll take you to see the scenery outside the city."
Before Rong Qingqing could react, he had already led her downstairs.
When they got downstairs, Rong Qingqing finally snapped out of her daze when she met the knowing yet somewhat ambiguous gazes of Manager Xu and his staff. Her face flushed, and she hurriedly tried to break free from his hand.
Xie Jingrun not only didn't loosen his grip, but actually tightened it, and led her out the door.
