Sheng Yuan started a business trip the morning after getting the certificate. After returning home, her schedule became even tighter. She was very busy for nearly a month and only set foot in Beijing at seven in the evening.

After arriving at the King's Landing Hotel, Sheng Yuan wanted Amy to go back first. Shi Yan didn't deserve a driver and always drove himself.

Sheng Yuan glanced sideways.

The neon lights on the viaduct were like dotted stars, and the flickering light and shadow jumped across the man’s tall nose through the light ink-colored car window.

Because I need to drive.

Shi Yan unbuttoned his suit jacket and buttoned his white shirt meticulously to the top. Above the collar was his Adam's apple that protruded like an icy cube, and below was his slender waist wrapped in the shirt.

His cold profile was focused as he turned the steering wheel. The metal watch dial occasionally reflected light, making his slender, bony hand have a different kind of sexiness, that of a mature man.

Noticing Sheng Yuan's gaze, he pursed his lips and whispered, "...What are you looking at?"

Sheng Yuan replied lightly, "I'm watching, Mr. Shi."

At this time, Yan's movement paused slightly.

This was not the first time Shi Yan had heard this name. Many people had called him that. It was obviously the same two words, but when hearing it from Sheng Yuan's mouth, it felt completely different.

Shi Yan frowned and said, "Sheng Yuan, don't call me like that."

Sheng Yuan was curious: "Why?"

At the traffic light, Shi Yan's dark eyes met Sheng Yuan's: "Because I like to hear you call my name."

…

Shi Yan's residence is a large flat in the city center.

After he and Sheng Yuan got their marriage certificate, Sheng Yuan did not stay there for a single night, but all her belongings had been moved over.

The first thing Shi Yan did when he entered the room was to record Sheng Yuan's fingerprints.

Sheng Yuan's schedule for the day was not completely finished, as she had an online meeting to attend later. She and Shi Yan went into the bathroom of the master bedroom and the second bedroom respectively.

The study is open-plan, in a corner of the living room, with a large table.

After taking a shower, Sheng Yuan and Shi Yan changed into their home clothes, and sat on opposite sides of the room to work.

Before the meeting, Sheng Yuan asked Shi Yan whether her loud music would affect him. Shi Yan said no. Sheng Yuan also had no intention of avoiding Shi Yan and continued playing the music generously.

The content mainly concerns the final handover work between Sheng and Xu before the official end of their cooperation.

The entire meeting was conducted in English.

Sheng Yuan spoke quite a few times, with a calm tone, fluent words, and concise meanings.

About forty minutes later, the meeting was almost over, and at this time -

"Sheng Yuan, go to bed early."

A deep male voice was spoken in Chinese, and there was obvious concern in the tone.

It’s Xu Lizhi.

Opposite the desk.

Shi Yan's fingers, which were originally tapping the keyboard, suddenly stopped and hung in the air.

Sheng Yuan seemed not to have heard what Xu Lizhi said. Her face showed no emotion as she closed the meeting interface directly and covered the laptop screen. Shi Yan, who was sitting opposite her, had already stood up.

"Is it over?" His eyes were solemn.

Sheng Yuan nodded: "Yeah."

Next second.

She saw Shi Yan take big steps towards her, then lean over, hold her chin with his hand, and kiss her without warning.

Sheng Yuan was caught off guard.

“…Hmm.”

She subconsciously raised her hand to hold Shi Yan's wrist, leaned back, and had just a moment's breath break when Shi Yan kissed her again.

No.

To be precise, it's a bit like biting, but with a strong connotation.

He clasped his knuckles under her chin and bit her lips.
