Chapter 26 Chapter 26 Do you want to be my woman?
These words are so intimate and caring, far exceeding the relationship between a boss and a subordinate.
"I'm not feeling well." Qin Mian hurriedly explained, "I asked for leave from President Si, but I didn't expect him to remember."
"I'm so grateful." Qin Mian said, picking up the water glass and pretending to "toast" to Si Tu.
In other words, she did not let Si Tu know about her health problems privately, but learned about it through her work leave.
This indirectly clears up the possibility that the two have any private relationship.
She also interpreted Si Tu's concern as the concern of a boss for his subordinates.
Regardless of whether the people present believe it or not, at least it makes sense on the surface.
Especially since she took the lead in toasting Si Tu, others followed suit and toasted as well, so as not to embarrass her as the president's secretary and boss.
This episode just ended like this.
**
That night, Qin Mian was the only one who didn't drink.
Si Tu was in a good mood, and with the enthusiasm of the employees, he drank quite a bit.
Qin Mian had originally left for home after the dinner, just like everyone else.
But as his secretary, it would be unreasonable not to take care of him since he was quite drunk.
So after hesitating for a while, Qin Mian decided to take him upstairs after leaving the box.
As far as she knew, Si Tu had been staying in a hotel recently.
Although she was curious about the reason, she suppressed her curiosity since her boss didn't mention it.
After saying goodbye to the other employees, she accompanied Si Tu to the elevator and pressed the button for him.
Then go in.
The employee elevator that the two people took was different from the one used by customers. At this time, not many people were using it, so there were only two people when they got in.
Qin Mian helped press the floor button again and stood beside it, waiting for the elevator to close and go up.
Si Tu leaned against the metal wall of the elevator. Feeling too hot from the alcohol, he first loosened his tie and then began to unbutton his shirt.
Qin Mian heard the noise and subconsciously turned his head and looked back. As a result, he happened to see him unbuttoning the collar of his shirt with one hand.
The slender fingers are very flexible, as if they do this often. The joints on the back of the hand move along with the movement of the fingertips, which makes people feel inexplicably sexy.
He unbuttoned his shirt and pulled the collar to the side, revealing his collarbones.
Seeing that he was about to continue unbuttoning, Qin Mian called out to him in time, "Boss Si!"
She raised her eyes and met his gaze.
Unexpectedly, Si Tu was leaning there, staring at her without blinking.
"Hmm?" He responded softly, continuing to unbutton his shirt while staring at her like this. His lips were rosy and his eyes were flushed, and it was not clear whether it was caused by the alcohol or something else.
Qin Mian looked away, turned around and said, "The elevator is almost here, don't take it off yet."
Although this is an internal elevator and you won't encounter guests, you will inevitably encounter colleagues who are working overtime.
The president looked hungover, his eyes were blurry, and he had taken off his clothes. What would happen if other colleagues saw him?
Even if there were no other colleagues, she would still be here.
It's not appropriate to strip naked in front of her.
After all, there are differences between men and women.
Although she is his secretary, she can't be so shameless after all. It's too embarrassing.
Fortunately, the elevator arrived at this time.
Qin Mian reached out and pressed the door button, then turned his head slightly and reminded Si Tu, "We're here. Don't take a shower yet. I'll have the guest room bring you some hangover soup later. Drink it before you take a shower."
However, even after she finished reminding him, Si Tu showed no intention of leaving.
Qin Mian lowered his eyes, feeling a little unsure. His eyes flickered slightly in panic, and his eyelids slowly lifted up.
My eyes first swept over his long legs wrapped in trousers. His legs were crossed and he stood casually. The hem of his shirt was tightened around his trousers, creating a tight waist. Then, he crossed his arms over his chest with his collar open, and his muscular chest muscles were vaguely visible on both sides. His neck was slightly raised, his Adam's apple was protruding, his eyes were drooping, and his gaze was blurred.
He just leaned there lazily, unlike his usual high spirits, showing a bit of dejection, but surprisingly it did not disgust people, instead it added a bit of everyday atmosphere and charm.
Especially the blurred look in his eyes as he looked at her with his eyes downcast. His gaze was like a gentle golden thread wrapping around her, as if he was eating her up. It was ambiguous yet a little aggressive.
Is it her illusion?
That was clearly the look a man would have when he saw a woman he liked.
It must be an illusion, she thought.
"Mr. Si." Qin Mian lowered his eyes again and avoided his gaze.
Si Tu responded again with an ambiguous tone, "Hmm?"
Qin Mian clenched his hands and mustered his courage, "Can you not look at me like that?"
Si Tu smiled, lowered his crossed legs and arms, took a step forward, and suddenly closed the distance between him and her. "What kind of look?"
He is tall, and when the distance between them is closer, he seems to be looking down on us.
Qin Mian even wanted to step back, "We are just working together."
Si Tu suddenly raised his hand and placed it on the elevator door, trapping her in the corner of the elevator, leaving her with no way to retreat. His eyes looked at her even more passionately, "As long as you are willing, we can have another relationship."
The two of them were closer, and could even breathe each other's breath.
Qin Mian now felt a little regretful. He had bluntly pointed out that there was something wrong with the way he looked at him.
Sometimes, leaving some things unclear may be a good thing.
She turned her head away, avoiding his invading breath and gaze, clenched her palms even tighter, and said, "You are drunk."
She could only make excuses for him and try to cover up the matter.
Si Tu lowered his eyes to look at her red ears, chuckled, raised his hand, pinched her earlobe, and asked, "What if I say no?"
He probed further, and Qin Mian's heart beat like a drum.
Just at this moment, her cell phone suddenly rang.
Like a sudden life-saving straw, Qin Mian picked up the phone and took a look. The caller ID on the screen was still Zhu Yinglong!
"Me! My boyfriend is looking for me!"
Si Tu turned his head and took a look. There were three big words on the caller ID.
He narrowed his eyes slightly.
Before he could react, Qin Mian answered the call first.
"Hello?" She put the phone to her ear and pretended to be busy as she pushed Si Tu away.
This sudden phone call completely broke the dangerous and tense atmosphere.
The beauty was gone, and Si Tu's impulse was also greatly reduced.
He followed her force and moved back out of the elevator.
Qin Mian secretly breathed a sigh of relief, lowered his eyes, and reached out to press the floor button.
"Is the dinner over?" Zhu Yinglong asked her gently from the other end.
Just when they were about to get off work, Zhu Yinglong asked her to go home together.
She told him that she was going to attend the dinner.
"Just finished, getting ready to go back." Qin Mian said.
The elevator slowly closed at this time. She saw Si Tu's trouser legs and leather shoes, and did not dare to look up to meet his gaze.
But just before the elevator closed completely, Si Tu suddenly stepped forward. She felt his approach and pressure, and subconsciously looked up. Si Tu's hand was grabbing the elevator door.
The elevator sensed it and automatically opened to both sides.
Si Tu's bony fingers were clasping the door. Qin Mian looked up instinctively, and a dark shadow was pressing down on him.
He was facing away from her, so she couldn't see his face. She only felt his warm breath suddenly touching her lips.
Soft, hot touch.
Her heart stagnated, and at the same time, she heard Zhu Yinglong ask in her ear: "Do you need me to pick you up?"
Qin Mian even forgot to breathe until Si Tu stepped back and the distance between them widened. The light from outside shone in, and his face became clear in front of him. Qin Mian saw that he had a triumphant expression on his face with his lips curled up.
He…he just kissed her?
It all happened so fast, like an illusion.
Qin Mian didn't react at all.
Until the other end, Zhu Yinglong still didn't get her response, so he called her name.
Only then did she react and hurriedly pressed the elevator's close button again.
Only after the elevator closed completely did Qin Mian finally breathe a sigh of relief. He took two steps back, leaned against the wall, and tried his best to calm himself.
"Need not."
"What's wrong?" Zhu Yinglong seemed to hear something wrong.
Qin Mian looked up and glanced at the numbers jumping on the elevator display. "Nothing, I'm getting in the elevator. See you later."
"Okay, be careful on the road." Zhu Yinglong then hung up the phone.
Qin Mian took the phone from his ear and leaned against the wall, staring blankly at the jumping numbers.
Why did he suddenly kiss her just now?
She pursed her lips, the soft touch of lips against lips seemed to still be there, as well as his warm breath with the smell of alcohol.
Is he drunk, or...
Or did he just want to kiss her?
With a ding, the elevator suddenly stopped.
Qin Mian came to his senses and someone came in from outside.
A colleague from the same company recognized her and greeted her respectfully, "Qin Jing... Secretary Qin."
Qin Mian stopped, sorted out his thoughts, turned his head, and responded with a smile.
Until she got out of the elevator, she always maintained the image of a dignified president's secretary.
When they returned to their residence, Zhu Yinglong even heated milk for her.
"Did you drink a lot tonight?" He handed it to her with a smile.
Qin Mian took it subconsciously, but looked at the milk in his hand in a daze.
Only then did she realize why Zhu Yinglong was so unusual today?
His behavior these past two days really seemed like when he was just in love with her, attentive and considerate.
Instead, it made her feel a little weird.
"What's wrong?" Zhu Yinglong saw her staring at the milk in a daze, "Don't you want to drink it?"
Qin Mian calmed down and said, "Oh, no."
She took a sip and said, "Thank you."
**
The intelligent robot introduced from Shen Muzhou's company began to be debugged in the hotel.
On Tuesday morning, Si Tu went to the hotel to inspect the progress.
At that time, on the 23rd floor, in the corridor of the executive suite, a robot was delivering food to guests.
Zhu Yinglong, as the contact person on the SC side, was proofreading data with the people from the supply company. The director of the IT department brought Si Tu here.
"What's going on?" Zhou Quan asked, "Let President Si take a look."
Several IT people turned around and greeted the president when they saw him.
Among them, only Zhu Yinglong looked at him silently.
He had read the chat records between Qin Mian and Si Tu.
The office system that the two have been using.
Qin Mian's chat was very ordinary, just a normal communication with his boss.
But the message Si Tu sent her was worth savoring.
He was obviously interested in her private life and would invite her to private events.
Language also has the intention of teasing.
In other words, Qin Mian may not be interested in him, but it is certain that he is interested in Qin Mian.
If he wasn't the boss, he wouldn't be able to tolerate him trying to steal his employees.
But when you are under someone's roof, you have to bow your head, because you are his employee.
But it was impossible to expect him to be nice to him.
So now, Zhu Yinglong is unwilling to even call him "Mr. Si".
Amidst the chorus of greetings, his silence would stand out.
Si Tu noticed him immediately and met his gaze.
The two looked at each other silently, each with their own thoughts.
Si Tu raised the corner of his lip slightly, with an ambiguous meaning. He glanced at the robot next to him and began to care about the progress of the work.
That afternoon, Zhu Yinglong received a notice of assignment, asking him to follow up on the introduction of intelligent systems in other hotels under the group.
This is the top priority of the hotel's IT work recently, so it is reasonable to let him, the team leader, go there.
But Zhu Yinglong vaguely felt that Si Tu was probably targeting him and deliberately sending him away from the group headquarters.
But he was just a team leader and had no room for objection, so he could only accept the appointment.
"Will you miss me?" He asked Qin Mian as he packed his luggage that night.
Qin Mian sat on the bed playing with his phone and responded casually, "Yeah."
After hearing the answer he wanted to hear, Zhu Yinglong felt relieved. He carried the packed luggage outside, came back in, and was very affectionate with her. After confirming that Qin Mian had no other feelings for him, he went on a business trip with peace of mind the next day.
However, on the weekend shortly after he left on a business trip, Si Tu found an excuse to ask Qin Mian out as usual.
However, after his sudden kiss in front of the elevator last time, Qin Mian is now much more wary of him.
"Can I not go?" She made an excuse, "I want to rest."
This excuse is also reasonable because I can't stand working every day.
Therefore, Si Tu agreed readily, "Okay, have a good rest."
However, that morning, around lunchtime, Si Tu suddenly came to her residence to look for her.
"You...why are you here?" Qin Mian sat up from the sofa when he received the call.
"Don't you want to have a good rest?" Si Tu smiled, "I brought you some food."
Qin Mian sat on the sofa, holding the phone to his ear, and was silent for a long time.
The last time he brought her brown sugar ginger tea and medicine, she felt that it went beyond the boss's concern for his employees.
Especially since he kissed her in the elevator a few days ago.
Now, bring her food again.
Qin Mian lowered his eyes, found his slippers, put them on, and got up from the sofa.
There are some things she needs to face directly.
"I'll be down now." She hung up the phone, changed into her home clothes, went to the entrance to change her shoes, opened the door and went out.
Last time she had her period pain and couldn't take care of many things. Now when she came downstairs and passed the security booth, she saw the security guard's inquiring eyes and only then noticed that Si Tu came to find her like this. She didn't know what outsiders would think.
The security guard knew that she had a boyfriend.
So, when she walked outside and Si Tu handed her the lunch in his hand, she didn't take it. She just raised her hand, gestured, and said, "Let's talk in the car."
She didn't want the security guard to continue snooping, so she needed a relatively independent space to explain things to him clearly.
After the two of them got in the car, Qin Mian asked directly, "Boss Si, what do you mean?"
Si Tu had just found a place to put down the lunch in his hand. Hearing this, he raised his eyes and looked at her tense profile. He realized that this time, she seemed to be here to confront him.
When she came down just now, he noticed that she was in a bad mood today.
And he had long wanted to confront her.
If he hadn't considered that she had a boyfriend, he was worried that being too direct and impatient would scare her away.
Now that Qin Mian has taken the initiative to advance to this point, he couldn't ask for more.
"Don't you know what I mean?" He curled his lips slightly and looked at her with ambiguous eyes.
Originally, Qin Mian was just suspicious, but after he said this, she was basically completely certain.
She lowered her eyes and her hands on her knees couldn't help but curl up.
Her reaction was not so clear, and Si Tu stared at her carefully.
"How about it?" He adjusted his sitting position, turned sideways, reached out, lifted her chin, turned her face around, and met her eyes. "Do you want to be my woman?"
