Chapter 48 Let Me Hug You for a While
A strong masculine aura emanated from him, causing Li Mai's heart to race and her almond-shaped eyes to widen.
Their eyes met, and the air became ambiguous and scorching.
Zhou Songyan's Adam's apple bobbed twice as he slowly approached, just as he was about to touch those two lips he had been longing for day and night.
But Li Mai avoided it.
Zhou Songyan paused.
The ambiguous atmosphere became slightly awkward.
Li Mai tried to get off him, but the large hand on her waist felt like an iron clamp.
"Zhou Songyan, let go."
"I won't let go, I won't let you kiss me, but can't I at least hug you for a little while?"
Zhou Songyan sounded quite aggrieved.
Then, he leaned closer, rested his head on her shoulder, and hugged her tightly.
Li Mai trembled all over, and her face was burning hot.
Even without looking in a mirror, she could imagine how red her face was.
"Limai, let me hold you for a little while, just a little while..."
Li Mai closed her eyes and stopped struggling.
Regardless of whether Zhou Songyan was sincere or not, she ultimately softened and allowed herself to indulge in this moment for a while.
...
Guan Qing arrived at the 22nd floor.
"I'm looking for General Manager Zhou."
A junior assistant looked at her awkwardly: "There's someone in President Zhou's office."
"who?"
"Secretary Li of the Ji family."
She turned out to be just a lowly secretary.
Guan Qing lifted her foot and continued walking towards Zhou Songyan's office.
The assistant shouldn't be too forceful in stopping them.
I heard that Ms. Guan, who just joined the company, has a special relationship with General Manager Zhou.
Guan Qing was about to knock on the door when Sun Yuanjie, who had just arrived, stopped her.
"Ms. Guan, Mr. Zhou is not available to see you right now."
Guan Qing squinted her eyes.
inconvenient?
What's inconvenient?
Is the Ji family's secretary a woman?
Could this be the person Zhou Songyan was talking about pursuing?
Guan Qing was inwardly turbulent, but her face remained impassive.
He smiled and said, "Secretary Sun, I have something to discuss with President Zhou. I heard it's Secretary Li from the Ji family. It's alright, I'll leave as soon as I'm done talking and won't bother them."
Sun Yuanjie: "Sorry, no, President Zhou said not to be disturbed."
"Miss Guan, please leave."
Guan Qing didn't dare to force her way in.
She created the illusion for the company that she and Zhou Songyan had an unusual relationship.
Some people even interpreted her as Zhou Songyan's ideal woman. She knew about this rumor but did not explain.
In reality, Zhou Songyan was very cold towards her. If it weren't for the fact that she had once saved him, he wouldn't have given her a second glance.
Sun Yuanjie knew the truth and treated her just as coldly.
She knew she wouldn't be able to get in today, so she gritted her teeth and left the 22nd floor.
...
Li Mai pushed Zhou Songyan: "Let go of me."
His voice was no longer harsh or stern; it was gentle and soft.
This instantly transported Zhou Songyan back to five years ago.
Sometimes he would linger on Li Mai and not get up, and Li Mai would gently push him a couple of times and say softly, "Zhou Songyan, get up."
It had absolutely no effect.
Zhou Songyan didn't move, but hugged her even tighter.
Li Mai pushed him hard: "Zhou Songyan..."
Zhou Songyan released her, his dark eyes fixed on her, as if he wanted to devour her whole.
Li Mai, flustered, got off him, picked up her bag, and said, "I'm leaving."
This time, Zhou Songyan didn't pull any tricks.
Li Mai knew that he hadn't told her anything about work at all; he was just lying to her.
Sun Yuanjie personally escorted Li Mai into Zhou Songyan's private elevator.
Upon reaching the first floor, the elevator doors opened.
Li Mai stepped outside and saw Miss Guan.
I didn't expect her to be here too.
Guan Qing was also looking at her.
At this moment, Guan Qing was 100% certain that this woman was the one Zhou Songyan was pursuing.
She came down in Zhou Songyan's private elevator, an elevator she had never ridden before.
Li Mai felt that Guan Qing's gaze was a little strange.
Without thinking too much about it, I walked towards the door.
Guan Qing couldn't resist and followed them out.
As I walked to the door, I suddenly saw Old Mrs. Zhou.
She had originally intended to warn that woman, but she couldn't care less about that now.
Smiling, she walked towards Grandma Zhou: "Grandma, what brings you here?"
Grandma Zhou: "Do I need to inform you before I come to our Zhou family's company?"
Guan Qing looked embarrassed: "No need, I was just surprised to see Grandma."
Grandma Zhou: "Weren't you abroad? Why are you back?"
Guan Qing: "I've graduated and I'm working at Rongzheng now."
Grandma Zhou squinted and looked her over.
Although Guan Qing saved her grandson, she just couldn't bring herself to like this woman.
Grandma Zhou suddenly looked at a slender figure in the distance, and instantly became energetic and full of vitality. She pushed aside Guan Qing and hurriedly chased after the figure.
Although Grandma Zhou was almost eighty, she was quite strong, and Guan Qing stumbled a step after being pushed by her.
As she ran, Grandma Zhou called out, "Granddaughter-in-law! Granddaughter-in-law, wait for me!"
"Granddaughter-in-law!"
Li Mai stopped and turned around.
Seeing that Grandma Zhou was running and a car was approaching, she didn't care about anything else and quickly ran towards Grandma Zhou, stopping her before the car arrived.
"Grandma, there's a car! It's dangerous."
Grandma Zhou held Li Mai's hand: "It's alright, they're not driving fast at the company entrance."
"That won't work either. What if they don't see you and bump into you?"
Grandma Zhou grew to like Li Mai more and more the more she looked at her.
Her granddaughter-in-law cares about her a lot.
She laughed so hard that wrinkles appeared on her face.
"Grandma understands, I'll be more careful next time."
"Granddaughter-in-law, are you here to see my eldest grandson?"
Li Mai blushed: "Grandma, Mr. Zhou and I really don't have that kind of relationship."
Grandma Zhou: "I know, it must be that brat Zhou Songyan who made you angry. Don't worry, I'll take care of him for you."
Everything that's going to happen has happened, but the girl still doesn't want to give him a proper title. It must be because her eldest grandson did something wrong and hurt her feelings.
Li Mai thought that Grandma Zhou was a really good person.
"Grandma, no..."
Grandma Zhou patted her hand and said gently, "Don't be afraid. I am Zhou Songyan's grandmother. No matter how powerful he is, he has to listen to me. I'll teach him a lesson later."
"What's your phone number? Give it to Grandma, she can call you if she misses you."
Li Mai looked at the lovely old lady in front of her and couldn't bring herself to refuse.
So I took the old lady's phone and saved my number in her contacts.
Grandma Zhou: "Is this your WeChat ID? I'll add you on WeChat. If it's inconvenient for you to answer the phone, I'll send you a message on WeChat."
Li Mai: "..."
"Granddaughter-in-law, please approve."
Li Mai took out her phone and reluctantly accepted the old lady's friend request.
Li Mai thought to herself, "The old lady is quite clever; she even knows how to add her on WeChat."
Many elderly women don't know how to use smartphones and need young people to operate them for them.
Then, she saw that Grandma Zhou had changed her nickname to "granddaughter-in-law".
Grandma Zhou stubbornly believed that she and Zhou Songyan were a couple.
They used to be a couple, but not anymore.
"Grandma, where are you going?"
Grandma Zhou originally wanted to go upstairs to ask her eldest grandson for Li Mai's phone number.
Now that we're almost there, there's no need to go up.
"Granddaughter-in-law, I want to go to Sister Hua's cake shop, can you take me there?"
Li Mai thought she had driven, so she nodded.
He helped the old lady into her car.
Guan Qing's nails dug into her flesh, and her face turned pale.
Grandma Zhou actually called that woman her granddaughter-in-law!
