The man dipped his head and nibbled on her earlobe . His long fingers clutched her chin, compelling her to look at him .
He whispered in his charming voice, “Why do you have an expression that seems to say I’m about to eat you alive?”
“That’s… You appear to be in a bad mood . ”
He closed his eyes slightly, his face laced with fatigue . “Just feeling a little tired . ”
He had three video conferences early this afternoon, and those were followed by some complicated matters that needed resolution .
He was unavoidably feeling a little frustrated .
She reached out to rub his temple with adequate force in an attempt to ease his aching nerves .
“Do you feel better?” asked the woman as she eyed his knitted eyebrows .
“I feel better!”
The man opened his eyes and grabbed her chin before giving her lips a peck . “Is there something you want to discuss with me?”
She nodded at first but shook her head next .
He chuckled, unsure of what she trying to convey . “Is there an issue or not?”
In the end, she did not mention her matter to him .
She initially wanted his help in clinching the ‘Lethal Beauty’ female lead role, but after considering it for a while, she decided against telling him about it .
Her lips tugged at the corner . “Nothing much . Why? Can’t I visit you if I want? Are unhappy that I’ve disturbed you?”
The man rubbed her nose .
“You’re free to come whenever you want!”
He captured her lips again after saying that . Taking a small bite, he licked her lips with his tongue unrestrainedly . The kiss was charming and gentle .
She pushed him away . “What time do you get off work?”
“At five . ”
“Okay! I’ll wait for you!”
She proceeded to sit on the couch and lifted a magazine at the side to while the time as she waited for him to head home together after work .
There was a knock at the door, and the man’s secretary walked in suddenly . Seeing her sitting on the couch, he gave her gentle smile and a nod before walking over to his boss’s side . He said warmly, “Sir, Huafeng Electric’s Director Wang has invited you to a banquet tonight . ”
“I’m not going . ”
“But… This banquet is very important . You’ve already postponed it thrice . If you fail to make an appearance again, I’m afraid that you won’t be giving him any face . That… isn’t good, right?”
The man furrowed his brows .
That company’s director had indeed invited him thrice already, but he had rejected them time and again .
It was due to… someone for him at home .
Thus, he had declined all dinner invitations .
Yun Shishi raised her head . “Mu Yazhe, you should go . ”
“Eh?” His eyebrows twitched .
“I’ll accompany you; is that okay?”
The man raised a brow . “You are willing to accompany me?”
“Yes!”
They were soon on their way to the banquet .
The woman in the passenger seat commented anxiously, “This is my first time going to a banquet; I am a little nervous!”
He was silent .
This dumb woman, it’s just a banquet; what is there to be nervous about?
She turned to address him . “What do I do if I am forced to drink alcohol?”
He cocked his brow . Lazily reaching out to rub her head, he smilingly said, “I want to see who has the guts to force a drink on you . ”
The woman was stunned .
This so-called banquet was just a gathering at a table to exchange benefits with one another .
As the Mu Group’s big boss, this was a common occurrence .
In China, there was indeed such a social circle where a group of people gathered to talk about work matters and get benefits over drinks .
However, with the status he had today, it was rare for anyone to be honored by an invitation from him . Most of the time, he was the one receiving grand dinner invitations from businessmen who had requests for him .
