Chapter 07 : A kiss

When the assistant saw Yan Xi, he was also slightly stunned and surprised by the change in her temperament. The gloominess and restlessness that used to characterize her were no longer there. She now struck people as a calm and graceful girl at first glance.

The assistant did not dare to look at her anymore and quickly looked away. He respectfully opened the car door for Yan Xi.

Yan Xi thanked him politely. She picked up the hem of her dress and got into the car, leaning close to Gu Shen.

As soon as she sat down, she eagerly said, “I am punctual this time, am I not?” She looked at him expectantly as if she was asking for his approval.

Gu Shen felt her burning gaze and said coldly, “Being punctual is what you are supposed to do.”

“Oh,” Yan Xi replied. She didn’t look disappointed. Instead, she moved closer to Gu Shen.

Her warm breath intertwined with his, and Gu Shen could smell the perfume on her body. At that moment, they looked extremely intimate.

“Do you think I look good today?”

Gu Shen took a deep breath and deliberately ignored her by looking at the document.

But his mind was entirely occupied by images of the girl who was wearing a silver fishtail dress and had bright red lips. She looked like a beautiful rose that was blooming in a diamond.

Gu Shen restrained himself and answered casually, “Yes.”

Yan Xi snorted unhappily. “But you don’t even wanna look at me!”

The assistant driving the car heard the conversation behind him and his hand trembled, almost letting go of the steering wheel.

Most of the time, the couple treated each other as enemies. When they met, it was rare enough if they didn’t end up quarreling. The assistant never dreamed that Yan Xi would take the initiative to talk to the CEO.

Gu Shen said quickly and casually, “I took a look just now.”

“Then take another look.” Her slender fingers landed on the document, attracting Gu Shen’s gaze.

Gu Shen followed her gaze and looked at Yan Xi coldly.

The two of them were already very close to each other. Gu Shen leaned forward again. They were only a nose’s distance away from each other.

Yan Xi was the first to panic. Her hands gripped the backrest behind her. No matter how nervous she was, she was also looking forward to it.

What did he want to do?

When she was expecting something to happen, Gu Shen retracted his gaze and looked at the document.

He then said in a casual tone, “Your hair is kinda messy.”

Yan Xi took out the makeup mirror from her bag and combed her hair. When she brushed her fingers past her earlobe, she found that she had not put on the left earring.

She left home in a hurry just now and the wound on her left shoulder was not fully healed, so she totally forgot about it.

The wound on her shoulder had not fully healed. When she raised her hand, her entire arm would tremble. Yan Xi tried a few times before deciding to give up.

She turned to look at Gu Shen, her voice clear. “I can’t wear the earrings. Can you help me?”

Gu Shen frowned. “Try a few more times.”

“But this will hurt my wound.” Yan Xi handed the earring to Gu Shen and said emphatically, “And I can’t control my strength well. My ear is turning red. It hurts. Just help me.” After saying that, she didn’t forget to add, “Please, please.”

The assistant in front sighed at Madam’s brilliant methods to use the accessories to get physical contact with the CEO.

To learn this flirting technique, she probably applied for more than one quick course.

Her earlobe was pinched by the man’s slightly cold fingers. It was not a strong pinch, but it made Yan Xi numb. His other hand picked up the earring and bent the needle to look for the hole in her ear.

Gu Shen leaned closer again. He carefully identified the needle and finally placed it in the correct position.

The car suddenly braked.

He subconsciously held the earring to prevent the sharp needle from hurting Yan Xi.

Yan Xi leaned forward with the car, her lips brushing past the man’s lips.
