Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Qi Shenbai’s eyes were burning as he stared at her flushed face without blinking. His gaze moved down bit by bit and finally locked onto her thin lips. They were tender and tempting, crystal clear. Gradually, his breathing beca chaotic, and his protruding Adam’s apple kept bobbing, as if he was trying his best to hold himself back.
The atmosphere beca strange. The two of them looked at each other without saying anything or making the next move. Their eyes t, and sothing seed to intertwine in their gazes — sothing that could not be undone.
Eventually, Qi Shenbai pulled away and looked at her. “Got any inspiration now?”
Xu Jiaojiao looked at him blankly and asked belatedly, “Are you… helping find inspiration?”
Qi Shenbai nodded without changing his expression.
Xu Jiaojiao lowered her head in embarrassnt, blaming herself for thinking too much.
“Still no inspiration?” Qi Shenbai asked again.
“I… I got a hint of sothing.” Xu Jiaojiao answered in a panic, her cheeks burning. “I think I know how to draw it now.”
Qi Shenbai smiled and placed his warm palm on her hair. He did not rub her head, only saying gently, “Then I’ll leave you to your work.” With that, he got up and left.
Behind him, Xu Jiaojiao kept stealing glances at his back from the corner of her eye. Only once he was completely gone did she finally heave a sigh of relief. She pinched her face forcefully and said, “Xu Jiaojiao, wake up! He was just helping you get so inspiration!”
After spending a few minutes to calm herself down, she picked up her pen again and seriously began to and her draft.
Ti flew by quickly. By the ti Xu Jiaojiao put down her brush again, it was already noon. She stretched lazily and looked at her sketches with an expression of satisfaction, like a mother looking at her own child. The two characters who were originally kissing were now simply looking at each other. Even so, their gazes were suggestive and intimate, just the mood she wanted.
“I really am a genius! 1 got it in an instant!”
After putting away her art tools, she stood up and walked to the door next door. She knocked on it three tis, and the person who answered the door was Pei Yan. When he saw that it was her, Pei Yan said respectfully, “Hello, Mrs. Qi.”
He did not go out of his way to lower his voice. The higher-ups sitting in the living room all heard him, and they were dumbfounded.
M-Mrs. Qi?! Mr. Qi really was a pedophile!! The company was dood now, noooo!
“Are you guys still busy?” Xu Jiaojiao asked quietly, afraid of disturbing the higher-ups in the room.
The higher-ups were silent. They were not that busy. All they did was drink tea with their boss the entire morning.
“We’re almost done with our work,” Pei Yan replied calmly. “Are you hungry, ma’am? 1’11 get the kitchen to prepare lunch for you now.”
Xu Jiaojiao hurriedly waved her hand. “I’m not hungry. I just saw that you’ve been busy in your room all morning, so I wanted to remind you to rember to have lunch. Work is important, but your health cos first.”
Before Pei Yan could say anything, Qi Shenbai walked out of the room. Pei Yan tactfully retreated to the side and gave his seat to the CEO.
“Have you finished anding your drawing?”
Xu Jiaojiao smiled and nodded. “You haven’t had lunch, have you?”
Qi Shenbai nodded. “No, but I’m done with my work now.”
The higher-ups who were already full of tea had nothing else to say.
“Do you want to have lunch with ? My treat,” Xu Jiaojiao suggested. “Take it as a thank you for giving inspiration.”
The corners of Qi Shenbai’s lips curled up slightly. He did not refuse. “Sure, I’m hungry.”
The two of them turned around and walked towards the elevator. Before Xu Jiaojiao left, she did not forget to turn around and nod slightly at Pei Yan before politely saying goodbye.
“Hey… Is Mr. Qi really a pedophile, Mr. Pei?”
“That young lady looks sixteen or seventeen years old at most. How could President Qi do such a thing?!”
“Our company is dood…” One of the executives shook his head sadly.
These senior executives were all elites who had returned from studying overseas and had received higher education. They expressed deep disdain for Qi Shenbai’s immoral behavior!
Pei Yan was completely speechless. People kept judging the madam because she looked too young! “Who told you that Mrs. Qi is underage? She’s already twenty years old. According to the laws of our country, twenty years old is a perfectly legal marriageable age! Besides…”
Pei Yan cleared his throat. As everyone stared at him in shock, he said proudly, “Mr. and Mrs. Qi have already gotten their marriage certificate this morning. The two of them are now legally husband and wife!”
