After setting their lunch date, He Li sat there bored, admiring Yu Qingge’s beauty and occasionally sniffing the floral scent that seemed to linger naturally around her.
While Yu Qingge continued her discussion with the executives, she occasionally dropped her serious demeanor to chat softly with He Li. For the rest of the meeting, He Li didn’t speak up again. He spent the entire time slacking off and watching a beautiful woman.
It wasn’t until almost eleven o’clock that the meeting finally ended.
He Li finally stood up and stretched lazily. He was planning to head back to his studio, but Yu Qingge grabbed his arm. “Wait a sec!”
“What now?” He Li looked at her suspiciously. Yu Qingge glanced around to make sure everyone else had left, then smiled.
Before he could react, she threw her arms around his arm and hugged it tightly with a face full of reluctance. “Stay with me a little longer. Once you leave, I won’t see you for nearly an hour…”
“I’ll miss you so much I won’t be able to stand it!”
Damn, here it comes again!
That familiar tone, those new lines—still dangerously flirty.
A full-frontal big move—He Li’s heart pounded wildly.
Especially when Yu Qingge lowered her gaze, her willow brows slightly furrowed, looking pitiful beneath her flawless face—it stirred a strong desire to protect.
He Li could feel his mental defenses wobbling.
“Calm down, calm down. This is nothing.”
He tried to regain composure and pull his arm back.
But Yu Qingge held on tight. He didn’t dare pull too hard for fear of hurting her. Seeing him hesitate like that, afraid to use force, her pitiful look instantly shifted into a dazzling smile.
“You’re always thinking of me, aren’t you?”
“Hehe, I really am falling for you more and more.”
He Li let out a soft sigh. “You’re making it hard for me here.”
“Then don’t make it hard,” Yu Qingge giggled. “Just accept me already. Wouldn’t that be easier?”
“You don’t understand,” He Li muttered, giving up on pulling back his arm and instead began enjoying the moment. The soft sensation from Yu Qingge’s embrace was pressing firmly against his arm—it felt really… good!
A pleased expression slowly spread across his face.
Yu Qingge noticed the change.
“Feels nice? Want me to hold you even tighter?”
She narrowed her eyes teasingly. And before He Li could answer, she was already squeezing his arm more snugly.
Feeling the intensified sensation, He Li couldn’t help but start wondering about her size.
Was she a 36D? Probably?
His mind drifted into dangerous territory again.
He quickly shook off the dirty thoughts.
“So… what perfume are you wearing?”
“It smells really good. I think I’ll buy a couple bottles and spray it around the house.”
Trying to steer the topic elsewhere, he asked casually.
Yu Qingge’s eyes sparkled with amusement as she asked in return, “Buy a couple bottles for your place? So you want your home to smell like this too?”
Her smile widened even more.
She tucked a few strands of hair behind her ear, leaned close to He Li’s ear, and with a soft breath and sweet warmth, whispered with a gentle smile, “Then take me home. That way, your place will smell like me.”
His heart skipped a beat, and he felt flustered.
This woman was getting more and more outrageous!
“No, I was just asking where you bought the perfume…”
He tried to salvage the situation, but Yu Qingge’s next words completely shut him down.
“You can’t buy it. Because this is my natural scent.”
“But your home can still smell like this…”
“Because I am your perfume~”
Her voice was soft and sweet, her expression bashful and charming. The breath she whispered into his ear sent tingling waves down his spine.
This woman was terrifying. Every word and movement radiated intense charm, pulling you in completely. Even He Li, a transmigrator who had lived two lives, was starting to lose control.
Natural scent? No wonder it smelled so fresh and light—not like any synthetic perfume…
Wait, was now really the time to think about that?
He had to get out of here before he lost it.
He Li shook his head to clear away the tempting thoughts.
“CEO Yu, it’s about time you let go, right?”
“I still have work to do. I need to contribute to the company.”
He spoke righteously. Yu Qingge pouted, “What’s the rush?”
“What’s more important, work or me? If you cling to my thigh, I’ll take care of you. You won’t even need to work!”
“Hmph!” He Li snorted. “I’m a man in his prime—how could I live off a woman’s support? Woman, don’t shake my passion for work… wait a sec, cling to your thigh?”
“Do you mean that literally?”
“When? Now or later?”
His eyes darted toward her long legs wrapped in black stockings. They were slender and shapely like those drawn in comics.
Yesterday, when she wasn’t wearing stockings, he’d touched and even hugged those legs—the sensation was still fresh in his memory. Now that she had stockings on, he was kind of curious what they’d feel like today.
Yu Qingge nearly laughed out loud at his reaction.
Still blushing, she responded, “There’s no one around. If you want to touch, go ahead.”
“Hehe, I like you. I only want you to touch!”
“Tomorrow I’ll wear white stockings just for you.”
“And the day after, I’ll switch to nude-colored ones…” She even started planning aloud.
He Li, hearing her say that, couldn’t help but feel tempted. Since she was offering, it would be a waste not to accept. Just as he was about to reach out—
Footsteps suddenly echoed from the hallway, startling them both.
They instinctively pulled apart.
Outside, Yu Qingge’s secretary Wei Wei walked in quickly, looking a little off. Follow the newest chapters on novelping.com.
Just a moment ago, when she opened the door…
She vaguely caught a glimpse—was the new CEO hugging He Li?
And He Li seemed to be about to reach for her leg?
Wei Wei was stunned. She couldn’t quite believe what she saw.
Maybe she had misunderstood?
“There’s no way, right? After all…”
“CEO Yu is the daughter of the Jiuli Group’s boss.”
“Her standards in men surely aren’t ordinary.”
“Besides, she just started here. Even if she liked He Li, she wouldn’t be this forward.”
“Yeah… I must’ve imagined it.”
Wei Wei shook her head, convincing herself.
She quickly approached Yu Qingge and started reporting company matters. He Li, though a little disappointed he didn’t get to touch her black‑stockinged legs…
Now had a perfect excuse to escape. He cheerfully waved to Yu Qingge and slipped away.
Yu Qingge watched him leave, her eyes full of delight.
“It’s almost noon…”
“Soon we’ll get to have our date.”
“Hmm, I should plan out what we’ll do…”
She got lost in thought again until Wei Wei noticed her distraction and gently reminded her.
Snapping back to reality, Yu Qingge’s expression hardened, and her cold, powerful aura returned—the strong CEO mask back in place.
Wei Wei was dumbfounded. What just happened?
How did the soft, gentle CEO from moments ago suddenly turn into this intimidating woman?
Could it really be… because of He Li? No way, right?
Did the CEO actually have feelings for him?
Wei Wei’s gaze flickered with doubt. After a moment of hesitation, she cautiously asked, “CEO Yu, would you like me to help keep an eye on He Li?”
Hmm? Yu Qingge looked up at her, and after a moment’s thought, a small smile appeared on her cool, elegant face.
“Sure. Besides watching him, also send me more of his info.”
“Also, not bad. I’ll give you a raise later.”
Hearing that, Wei Wei lit up with joy.
“Thank you, CEO Yu. I’ll get it done right away!”
Yu Qingge nodded slightly.
This Wei Wei had a good eye for people and a knack for reading the room. She could stay.
If He Li wouldn’t be her secretary… then she would keep this one.
What Wei Wei didn’t know was—she’d just narrowly avoided getting fired.
