Chapter 123: Is there a problem if the lover follows the sponsor?
Wall lamps cast a warm glow across the wallpaper.
"Change your sincerity." Lu Shiman's hands became dishonest again. His fingertips slid along the outline of the abdominal muscles. As soon as they touched the other's taut abdomen, they were captured by Ji Linshen's suddenly tightened palm.
He bit her fingertips with his canine teeth and rubbed them lightly, his Adam's apple rolling in a suppressed arc in the shadows: "Are you only greedy for my body?"
Lu Shiman curled up the fingertips that were bitten by teeth and deliberately scratched the other person's raised palm lines with his nails, with a cunning arc at the end of his eyes: "Who said that?"
She suddenly leaned in close, her nose almost touching Ji Linshen's taut jawline: "I'm also greedy for your face, your hands, and..."
The dim light sprinkled fine gold foil between her eyelashes, and even her hair was immersed in luster.
Ji Lin unconsciously rubbed her wrist with his fingertips and could clearly feel the rapid pulse beating under her skin.
"All of me?" he replied hoarsely, his eyes sweeping over the coral color that spread around her ears.
Lu Shiman suddenly pulled her hand back and pressed it against his chest. Through his pajamas, she could feel his intense heartbeat vibrating against her fingertips. A triumphant smile appeared on the corner of her lips. “You’re so smart, as smart as me.”
"Then guess where I want to taste you now?"
Ji Linshen's hand on her waist suddenly tightened. He suddenly stood up and covered her in shadow: "Then guess where I want to taste you now?"
She hugged Ji Linshen's neck, smiled softly, her eyes sparkling: "No matter where you want to taste, I won't give it to you tonight."
The moonlight outside the window reflected the snow, flowing on the floor-to-ceiling glass window into a Milky Way, but it was not half as bright as the stars in her eyes.
.......
The next day.
In the car, she and Qin Jiaojiao finalized the battle plan of "finding Huo Beiyan's white moonlight".
Lu Shiman held his phone close to his chest and shrank his neck as Qin Jiaojiao barked at him like a machine gun.
"Manbao, ask Ji Linshen indirectly. Don't let him know what you are asking, but it's best to get it out of his mouth."
"Don't ask directly, and don't ask too obscurely. It's best if you can get the answer. If you can't, try harder."
"But don't let him know. Ji Linshen and Huo Beiyan are in the same boat. If he knows, Huo Beiyan will know."
Lu Shiman was stunned. She didn't understand a word Qin Jiaojiao said.
"Do you understand? Manman."
"I understand...I understand."
"Then we'll each work on our own first, and then meet up to compare clues in the evening."
"Oh...oh...ok." Lu Shiman hung up the phone in a daze and turned his head to look at Ji Linshen. He was looking down at the documents, and his pen cast a blue-black ink mark on the paper.
Lu Shiman went over Qin Jiaojiao's words several times in his mind, thinking about how to ask the question so that he could understand it but not understand it at the same time.
Noticing her gaze, Ji Linshen closed the folder and glanced at her: "What's the matter?"
Lu Shiman was interrupted by him and forgot all the words she had prepared. The only thing left in her mind was asking about Huo Beiyan's white moonlight.
The words came out of his mouth: "Ji Linshen, are you Huo Beiyan's white moonlight?"
"What?" Ji Lin suspected that he had heard it wrongly.
Realizing what he had said, Lu Shiman immediately covered his mouth and shook his head.
The car drove to the downstairs of Big Brother's company. Lu Shiman still kept covering her mouth, afraid that she would let go of her hand, and uttered some strange words, which Ji Linshen noticed.
"Mr. Ji, the legal team has arrived early." The assistant in the passenger seat bent over and opened the car door.
"Yeah." Ji Linshen responded casually and took Lu Shiman's hand very naturally.
"Ji Linshen, don't be so arrogant in my eldest brother's territory." Lu Shiman wanted to pull his hand away.
Seeing that she wanted to retract her hand, Ji Linshen took the opportunity to insert his fingers between her fingers, clasping his fingers tightly together. The veins at the base of his thumb bulged slightly as he tightened his fingers.
"Ji Linshen, my eldest brother's eyes are everywhere here. Be careful that he will let my second brother out to beat you." Lu Shiman still felt a little guilty.
After all, in the eyes of his elder brother, the relationship between him and Ji Linshen is still a pure relationship between an assistant and a boss.
How can an assistant hold hands with the boss?
This doesn't make sense.
Ji Linshen thought about how Lu Chixu was furious with her last night, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, but the strength in his hands did not loosen.
"Brother won't say anything." Ji Linshen threw down a sentence and pulled her into the elevator.
"How do you know that big brother won't say anything..." Lu Shiman suddenly grasped the key point. In the past, he always called him 'Mr. Lu', why did he call him big brother today?
When the elevator reached the floor, Lu Shiman saw his eldest brother's secretary and began to shake his hands frantically, trying to break free from his restraints.
Not only did Ji Linshen not let go, but he held it even tighter.
"Mr. Ji, Mr. Lu is already waiting for you in the conference room. Please follow me." The secretary nodded and made a gesture of invitation.
"Ji Linshen." Lu Shiman lowered her voice and poked his waist with her other hand: "Why do you call me brother too?"
"Is there a problem if the lover follows the sponsor's call?" Ji Linshen's voice was not loud, but it was loud enough for Lu Yannan's secretary and his assistant to hear.
Lu Shiman poked his waist hard: "Tsk."
Ji Lin curled his lips deeply. He was not afraid of his lover, but the sponsor felt guilty.
Inside the conference room.
The four brothers of the Lu family sat in a fan shape on the east side.
Across from them, the neatly-dressed silver-gray suits of the Ji family lawyers formed an icy contrast with the navy blue uniforms of the Lu family lawyers. The leather filing boxes cast a shadow like the spine of an animal on the desk.
When the door was pushed open.
Twenty gazes were cast upon him like spotlights.
Ji Linshen's lawyers stood up immediately.
Lu Shiman was still shaking off Ji Linshen's hand. When she raised her eyes, she saw many pairs of eyes staring at her.
"Second brother?" Lu Shiman identified the most creepy pair from among the many eyes.
"Do you need your second brother to teach you about social distance among adults?" Lu Chixu threw away the pen in his hand and snorted coldly.
Lu Shiman withdrew her hand, smiled awkwardly at Lu Chixu and said nothing.
"Brother, let's start." Ji Linshen walked to the seat opposite Lu Yannan and sat down.
Hearing his call, Lu Yannan's hand on his leg unconsciously rubbed the seam of his trousers.
No, he still felt embarrassed to hear Ji Linshen call him "big brother".
"Mr. Ji, I thought I had made everything very clear last night." Lu Yannan said softly.
They did agree to give him a chance yesterday, but explicitly rejected his share transfer.
"Last night? Did you meet last night?" Lu Shiman leaned close to Lu Yannan and asked in a low voice.
