Ni Sitian felt shy under his gaze and lowered her head to hide her blush.
Xu Tingchuan lifted her chin and gently stroked her lips with his thumb.
Ni Sitian avoided eye contact, and her ears gradually turned red.
She convinced herself that Xu Tingchuan was her husband, and any intimate behavior was appropriate.
Even after several attempts to persuade him, the heat on his face wouldn't subside.
In just two days, her relationship with Xu Tingchuan progressed beyond her capacity to handle.
They were husband and wife, and she had thought about spending her life with him, but she wasn't ready to have any intimate behavior with a husband she didn't know very well.
“Ni Sitian, you’ll have to get used to it.” Xu Tingchuan saw through her thoughts at a glance.
Ni Sitian gave a vague "hmm".
Xu Tingchuan glanced at his watch; it was almost five o'clock. He said to Ni Sitian, "Wait a moment, I need to take care of something before I leave work."
Ni Sitian was a little surprised. When had he ever left work on time? Didn't he always go home after nine o'clock on weekdays?
Xu Tingchuan had no idea what she was thinking and was completely absorbed in his work.
Ni Sitian sat back on the sofa and flipped through a magazine.
The office was so quiet you could hear a pin drop.
Ni Sitian showed little interest in the financial magazine; after flipping through a few pages, she closed it and set it aside.
Bored, she propped her chin up with her hand, her eyes darting around the office before finally settling on Xu Tingchuan.
Ni Sitian watched him work closely and thought to herself, "No wonder everyone says that men who work hard are the most handsome."
At this moment, Xu Tingchuan was so handsome that it was impossible to look away.
His brows were slightly lowered, his lips were pursed, and he was focused on the computer screen, his slender fingers sliding the mouse, the light from the screen softly reflecting on his handsome face.
His features were deep, with a high nose and bright eyes, like God's most outstanding sculpture.
Ni Sitian looked at his nose and recalled the Weibo post from this morning, and his actions that night...
Well, what Weibo said makes a lot of sense.
Her cheeks flushed slightly as she began to drift off into daydreams.
When Xu Tingchuan looked up, he saw Ni Sitian staring at him blankly, seemingly lost in thought.
Ni Sitian snapped out of her daze and met his dark eyes. She panicked and quickly looked away, grabbing a magazine and flipping through it haphazardly.
Xu Tingchuan turned off his computer, got up, and walked towards Ni Sitian.
"You're all done." Ni Sitian looked up and smiled, as if she hadn't been peeking at him at all.
Xu Tingchuan glanced at the magazine in her hand and said calmly, "That's the opposite."
Ni Sitian was stunned for a moment, not understanding why. She followed his gaze and looked down at the magazine, only to find that the portraits of the people in the magazine were all upside down.
"Hehe." She closed the book, placed it back neatly to the side, chuckled twice, and acted as if nothing had happened.
Just then, a knock sounded on the office door, resolving Ni Sitian's awkward situation. She quickly said, "Please come in."
Secretary Xue opened the door and went in. She gave Ni Sitian a slight bow, walked over to Xu Tingchuan, handed him a folder, and said respectfully, "This is what you asked me to investigate."
Xu Tingchuan opened the folder and immediately saw a photo of a man and woman holding hands intimately.
Although the photo wasn't very clear, he recognized that this seemed to be Ni Sitian's brother-in-law, while the woman in the photo was clearly not her sister.
He glanced at the contents, closed the folder, and looked at Ni Sitian.
For a moment, she didn't know how to tell Ni Sitian that the man who cheated on her with Zhang Yijia was her brother-in-law.
He remembered Ni Sitian once telling him in a very envious tone how much Li Shaoan doted on Ni Tianzhen.
If he were to hand this to her now, he would immediately shatter the fairytale marriage in her eyes.
Ni Sitian needs to grow up, but she doesn't want it to be in this way.
