Lin Xiaojin gritted her teeth in humiliation and anger.
She cursed inwardly. If Qin Ge truly cared about maintaining proper boundaries between men and women, he shouldn’t have asked her to massage him in the first place.
And he certainly wouldn’t have taken out a pair of black stockings and told her to put them on.
Wasn’t he obviously pretending to be righteous while trying to take advantage of her?
Did he really think Lin Xiaojin was an idiot?
She wasn’t stupid at all. In fact, she was very smart!
Whew!
Lin Xiaojin exhaled deeply.
A crushing sense of helplessness wrapped tightly around her entire body, leaving her almost unable to breathe.
Refuse?
Did she have the courage to refuse?
If the unpredictable CEO Qin fired her, where could she possibly go?
With a medical examination report full of abnormal indicators, what company would be willing to hire her?
Lin Xiaojin finally steeled herself.
Her face flushed as she silently cursed, “He already took advantage of me last night and even teased me about hiding cream puffs. If it’s to keep my job, I’ll do it!”
She opened the package and awkwardly slipped the black stockings over her toes and calves. Pinching the delicate fabric between her fingertips, she slowly pulled it upward, centimeter by centimeter.
“Not bad. Your skin is smooth, fair, and flawless. You’re just too thin.”
“But once you put on black stockings, those long legs look a little fuller and more shapely.”
Even Qin Ge, who possessed extremely high aesthetic standards, couldn’t help raising his thumb in approval after seeing Lin Xiaojin wearing the black stockings.
I’m a damn genius!
Lin Xiaojin wasn’t accustomed to the sensation of having her legs tightly wrapped in the fabric.
This was her first time wearing black stockings.
It felt strange and unfamiliar.
Her heart pounded wildly as she climbed onto Qin Ge’s large bed. She gently pressed one foot against his back and cautiously asked in a soft voice, “CEO Qin, I’ll start the massage now?”
Qin Ge gave a muffled acknowledgment, “Mm. Hurry up and massage me. Stop wasting time.”
Lin Xiaojin initially supported herself against the headboard. Then she slowly released both hands until, finally, she was standing entirely on Qin Ge’s back.
His muscles immediately startled her.
So strong!
So firm!
She didn’t know what other men’s bodies felt like, but she did know that even her father, who had once been covered in solid muscle, had never possessed a physique as powerful as Qin Ge’s.
As she massaged him, Qin Ge’s muscles felt like evenly distributed pieces of iron.
Standing on his back was almost like stepping on a steel plate.
Even through his clothes, she could imagine the sharply defined contours of the muscles underneath.
Compared with her mother’s painfully thin body, Qin Ge’s Physique seemed almost like the perfect human body!
CEO Qin’s body is incredible!
So this is what happens when you’re rich enough to eat well. Even your body becomes this strong!
Standing on Qin Ge’s back, Lin Xiaojin continued marveling inwardly.
Moreover, after spending time alone with him over the past two days, she had discovered that CEO Qin was genuinely handsome.
She had once seen Jiang Yingxue from afar. Back then, Lin Xiaojin had felt that CEO Qin’s appearance was nowhere near good enough for CEO Jiang.
But now that she looked at him closely, CEO Jiang, who was known as Yunhai City’s most beautiful woman, somehow seemed slightly unworthy of CEO Qin instead.
Unfortunately, CEO Qin’s moods were far too unpredictable.
His reputation within the company was terrible as well.
Otherwise, CEO Qin really would be the perfect dream man!
What am I thinking!?
Lin Xiaojin shook her head vigorously.
She threw all those ridiculous thoughts out of her mind and focused seriously on massaging Qin Ge’s back with her feet.
“Try some different techniques. Be more creative instead of only stepping on my back. And use more strength. Haven’t you eaten?”
Lying facedown, Qin Ge casually issued his instructions without the slightest concern.
Lin Xiaojin nodded, “Yes, CEO Qin.”
After being scolded, she hurriedly increased the force she was using and obediently continued giving Qin Ge his “rehabilitation therapy.”
A full two hours passed.
Qin Ge woke from his afternoon nap feeling relaxed and refreshed from head to toe. He didn’t continue making things difficult for Lin Xiaojin. Instead, he yawned lazily and waved his hand, “All right. That’s enough for today.”
After getting off the bed, Lin Xiaojin quickly removed the stockings.
There was absolutely no way she would have the courage to wear them outside.
However, as she held the soft, slightly warm stockings in her hands, she looked up at Qin Ge and nervously asked, “CEO Qin, I’ve already worn these stockings. Do you still want them?”
Qin Ge rolled over and leaned against the headboard. He picked up a glass of cooled boiled water and drained it in one gulp before tilting his head and asking, “What will you do if I want them? And what will you do if I don’t?”
Lin Xiaojin bit her lip, “If CEO Qin doesn’t want them, I’d like to take them home.”
Lin Xiaojin blushed, “To wear them under my pants when it gets cold.”
In reality, she wanted to take the stockings home for her mother.
They were quite warm.
Her mother’s legs couldn’t tolerate the cold. If she wore these stockings underneath her clothes, they would provide another layer of warmth.
Qin Ge didn’t think much of it and casually replied, “Do whatever you want.”
Lin Xiaojin carefully folded the stockings she had worn and placed them back into their packaging. Then she tucked the package inside her oversized suit jacket and bowed gratefully toward Qin Ge, “Thank you, CEO Qin.”
With that, she turned to leave.
Suddenly, her secondhand phone chimed.
Lin Xiaojin took it out and glanced at the screen. When she saw another transfer notification, she turned back in surprise, “CEO Qin, why did you transfer another 500 yuan to me?”
Qin Ge calmly replied, “Massage fee.”
“But CEO Qin, you already paid me last night. Isn’t 500 yuan far too much?”
Lin Xiaojin felt uncomfortable accepting so much money.
Qin Ge laughed, “Then send it back.”
The moment Lin Xiaojin unlocked her phone, Qin Ge continued, “Since I’ve already paid you a massage fee before, apparently there’s no need to pay you again. By that logic, since you’ve already received two months of internship salary, I’ll inform the finance department that there’s no need to pay you this month either.”
Lin Xiaojin looked up at Qin Ge and protested with an aggrieved expression, “CEO Qin, those are completely different things.”
Qin Ge waved his hand, “I’m joking. Keep it.”
“From now on, every time you give me a massage, you’ll receive a 500-yuan massage fee.”
Then, as though suddenly remembering something, Qin Ge rummaged through the bedside drawer and pulled out a large pile of stockings.
Afterward, he opened a cabinet, took out a meal card, and tossed it to Lin Xiaojin, “Take this meal card. From now on, eat on the second floor of the cafeteria. Three meals a day. The breakfast allowance is 20 yuan, while lunch and dinner are 50 yuan each. Stop surviving every day on cakes and milk tea from the snack cabinet.”
“Just look at your medical examination report.”
“You’re deficient in practically everything, yet your fasting blood glucose and glycated hemoglobin are absurdly high.”
“I’m seriously worried that one day you’ll collapse and die while massaging me.”
Lin Xiaojin pursed her lips.
Her eyes reddened with emotion, crystal-clear tears already beginning to gather within them.
However, Qin Ge immediately shattered the sentimental atmosphere, “Get out.”
“From now on, just eat proper meals in the cafeteria. It’ll cost the company less than all those cakes and milk teas you keep consuming.”
“I simply don’t want someone with your innate talent for massage to one day fall victim to the decadent path of cakes and milk tea.”
