“But when it comes to you,” he sighed, “I always feel like I’m never getting enough. This world is so big, and I haven’t given you everything yet. How can I say I have everything?”
Bai Shu blushed. This man was saying sweet words again—she gently tugged at his collar, “Xiao Shisan has been glancing this way several times. It seems he has something urgent to attend to. You should go ahead and do your work.”
The man remained unmoved, even shamelessly approaching her: "I'm not going, I just want to be with you."
Bai Shu sighed helplessly and gently comforted him, "Be good, it must be important business, we can't delay it."
Wait, how did this turn into her coaxing him? What a grown man, acting all coquettish!
However, the man became even more serious, his face stern, and his words turned into a shameless rant: "Kiss me, or I won't go."
"You..." Bai Shu was both angry and amused. Out of the corner of her eye, she saw that Xiao Shisan was so anxious that he kept bowing and begging her. She had no choice but to tiptoe and quickly rub his cheek. "Alright, alright, we're done kissing. You can go back to your work now."
Xiao Lingchen was extremely dissatisfied with this perfunctory attitude. Staring at the girl's fair and pink cheeks and her two pink and tender lips, he lowered his head and bit down on them, lingering and caressing them.
"This is what a kiss should be."
She's an adult now, and there are some things she's capable of doing, if only the time and place weren't wrong—
Bai Shu was almost breathless from the kiss, her body went limp in his arms, and it finally ended after a long while. Her eyes were filled with tears, and her lips were slightly swollen.
"Does it hurt..."
"Bear with the pain," Xiao Lingchen forced back the burning desire in his heart, gently biting her ear. "This is nothing, I'll call you sooner or later..."
The threatening words faded away, but even after the man had walked away, Bai Shu's flushed cheeks remained hot, and she felt as if she were about to burst into flames.
This man is shameless and a scoundrel!
She kicked the lawn angrily, mentally reciting the cold, rigid legal provisions three times before she could calm her flushed face and prepare to leave.
But then he turned around.
They met two big, dark eyes that were darting back and forth.

Oh no, I forgot my friends are still here!
And I watched the whole thing!
Bai Shu's deskmate seemed a little slow to react. Holding his juice cup, he pondered for a moment. Bai Shu's eyes darted around, preparing to take the opportunity to run away. Just as he had this thought, his deskmate's threatening sound of grinding teeth rang out.
"You dare to run and try."
Bai Shu turned around innocently: "Eek."
"Ah! Waaah! You're still waaah! You wailing monster! Holy crap, Bai Shu, you're amazing! What the hell just happened?!"
Bai Shu: "...Calm down."
My deskmate couldn't stay calm.
My deskmate even threw his juice cup away.
"How the hell am I supposed to stay calm?! The baby that Young Master Xiao mentioned—ahhh! Sister! So you're the Young Master's fiancée, right?! Sister! I need you to say it to me!"
My deskmate is a good girl. Even though she just knocked over her juice glass in a panic, after a series of roars and screams, her excitement was no longer so frantic.
Bai Shu briefly recounted her story of how she and Xiao Lingchen met and got together. She then jumped around wildly several times before finally gasping and exclaiming:
"No wonder the arrogant Miss Qiao Le is like a mouse seeing a cat when she sees you. She's just a distant cousin, while you're the future young mistress whom the eldest son of the Xiao family cherishes! How can she compare to you?"
