Several workstations inside were empty, but he only found Chu Yuan's pink straw cup on one of the desks.
Even so, it was a great relief to Shen Xizhou.
It's good that they didn't leave.
It's good that you didn't leave.
After a few minutes of calm, Shen Xizhou's chaotic thoughts vanished. He grabbed the person by the door and asked directly, "Is Jiang Yuan in this office?"
The person who was engrossed in his work looked up at him, recognized him at a glance, and smiled, "Judge Shen, it's you! Are you looking for Jiang Yuan?"
Oh dear, she was distracted while working and spilled water on the case files. The director was furious and punished her by making her run laps in the osmanthus grove behind the office to clear her head.
What do you want to see her about...?
Before the other person could finish speaking, Shen Xizhou had already disappeared with his briefcase.
The speaker's mouth was agape, and he wondered, "What's wrong? What's the matter that's causing such a commotion?"
Are they here to criticize Jiang Yuan as well?
I heard that little devil was demoted to the archives department because she made a mistake. Tsk tsk, with Director Yan's methods of disciplining and tormenting people, this is just the beginning!
Shen Xizhou ran all the way to the back garden behind the courthouse, a place for leisurely walks, and sure enough, he saw a figure jogging slowly along a path hidden in the woods.
A light rain was falling from the sky, covering her slender body. It was unclear how long she had been running. Her long, soft, black hair was wet and clung to her scalp, making her appear even more delicate and petite.
His fair cheeks were flushed from the exercise, he was panting, and his steps were slow and unsteady. Something was definitely wrong, but he still kept going step by step.
Shen Xizhou felt heartbroken; his heart, which had just been mended, felt as if it had been violently torn apart again.
At this moment, one has no time to worry about their own physical discomfort.
Shen Xizhou decisively dropped his briefcase and rushed over. Before Chu Yuan collapsed from exhaustion, he firmly caught her waist. "Why did you keep running even when you couldn't run anymore? How could you be so foolish?"
A familiar, magnetic voice reached her ears. Chu Yuan looked up in surprise and was astonished to find that Shen Xizhou had returned!
Her eyes widened suddenly, her hands fell to her sides, and her chin rested on his hard chest. The refined and wise man seemed to have suddenly descended like a god.
“Shen Xizhou, you…”
Before she could finish speaking, the man forcefully reached under her knees and lifted her up in his arms.
Chu Yuan was shocked, "Shen Xizhou, are you crazy? There are people here!"
"Where would anyone come from in the Osmanthus Grove right now?" Shen Xizhou chuckled lightly, his tone unrestrained and delighted. "Besides, so what if someone saw us? You've provoked me, and now you're scared?"
His lips curled up noticeably, as if all his worries and anxieties had finally been dispelled, and he was relieved of everything.
He's a grown man in his thirties; there's no way he's less courageous than a young girl.
She's right. If you like something, you like it, no matter the reason. That's enough!
She was willing to disregard the age gap and be his pet, so he didn't mind using love as an excuse to imprison and keep her as his own.
Love her, give her everything she wants, and the only requirement is that she can never turn away.
"Jiang Yuan, are you sure you're ready to be my lover? No regrets?" Shen Xizhou lowered his head, his warm, thin lips brushing against Chu Yuan's cool, damp earlobe.
A light sip, yet it stirs and entices.
Chu Yuan's already chilled body trembled slightly, a mixture of surprise and disbelief in her eyes. "Chen Xizhou, can I really do it?"
"You can, if you're willing."
Chu Yuan suddenly tilted her head back, her watery eyes looking straight into Shen Xizhou's dark eyes, "I'm willing. I've always been willing!"
Shen Xizhou held her tightly, letting her feel his possessive strength. "Think it over. I'm not someone who settles for less. Once I make a choice, I won't give you a chance to back down."
He disdained participating in the little girls' playhouse games; once he gave, it was all he had, forever.
Chu Yuan understood his meaning and smiled sweetly, "Alright, Shen Xizhou, I'm just afraid I haven't loved you long enough, how could I bear to leave your side?"
The young girl's passionate words flowed effortlessly from her lips. Shen Xizhou was both unaccustomed to it and delighted. He couldn't help but increase the pressure on her palms again, his eyes welling up with tears, his gaze filled with tender affection.
He stopped speaking, his lips pressed into a thin line as if he were suppressing something, and carried Chu Yuan away, striding towards the back of the osmanthus grove.
Passing through here, you'll find yourself at none other than the team-building housing unit in Shenxizhou, where Chu Yuan lives.
Chu Yuan anticipated what he intended to do, but she found it hard to believe that Shen Xizhou, at over thirty years old, had such good stamina. Not only did he carry her home in one go, but he also had the strength to pin her firmly against the door, his forceful and plundering kiss assaulting her lips and teeth like a large beast tearing away its gentle exterior...
