Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Su Shen donned a sleek black short-sleeved shirt that accentuated his cold and austere demeanor. The dark hue seemed to amplify the icy edge to his profile, making him appear even more distant and unyielding.

His gaze sliced through the air with an intensity beyond its usual sharpness, akin to a chilling arrow poised to strike, casting an oppressive aura that hung heavily over everyone present.

Across from him, the few employees kept their heads bowed, their hands tightly gripping their attire, some even visibly perspiring with nervousness.

As someone called out, “Sister-in-law is here!” and attention shifted, Su Shen’s gaze turned, yet the glacial frost in his eyes hadn’t entirely subsided.

A secret tremor coursed through Gu Zi’s heart.

It was the first time she witnessed Su Shen losing his composure. No wonder he typically shrouded his emotions; once unleashed, the weight of his authority could be stifling.

Su Shen had heard all of Gong Xin’s words just now. Gu Zi felt a little guilty at this moment.

Approaching the desk, she intended to open the thermos when a firm grip seized her wrist abruptly.

Before Gu Zi could react, the man’s towering figure enclosed her before the desk.

“Su Shen, we’re still in the office. How about having some soup?” Gu Zits voice unintentionally softened in the tense atmosphere, adding a sweet note. And as the man heard it, there was a subtle lift in his natural demeanor.

He pinched the woman’s neck and let her take the initiative to kiss his soft lips. He licked them and parted her lips with the tip of his tongue to kiss them.

Gu Zi found herself momentarily lost in a whirlwind of emotions, her heartbeat drowning out all other sounds.

As she steadied herself, she instinctively pressed her hand against the man’s solid chest, trying to catch her breath.

Just as she felt she might collapse into his embrace, he released her lips. His rough hands moved to steady her at the waist, helping her regain her balance.

In a low, raspy voice, the man cautioned, “Don’t use such an enticing tone with other men, alright?” His jealousy seemed ready to consume him, disregarding any other consideration—he desired her for himself.

Gu Zi’s mind struggled for oxygen, and she numbly nodded in response.

Su Shen gently pressed his fingers against her lips, a gesture almost nostalgic.

“So, you thought I was a bald old man before meeting me for the first time?

Then why did you still come looking for me? You’re quite brave.”

Her eyes glistened with tears. As she met his gaze, his eyes appeared exceptionally dark, a rare hint of a wicked allure playing at the corner of his mouth.

She found herself enamored by Su Shen’s kiss, which felt incredibly natural and comforting. In that moment, her mind was consumed by nothing else but the desire for his kiss to continue.

It appeared that the man had sensed her longing, as he gently lifted her and settled her on the desk, leaning in to kiss her once more.

As they progressed, the woman’s attire became disheveled, revealing a portion of her pristine, snow-white bosom.

Her complexion was as fair and delicate as the exposed skin, the curves resembling fluid droplets in motion. Su Shen was captivated by this sight, instinctively covering it with his hand, moved by its allure.

Gu Zi felt an overwhelming sensation, almost as if she were suffocating, her eyes rolling in response.

He kissed her with a tender yet fervent passion, as though he aimed to engulf her entirely.

The depth of a man’s affection often transcends mere words. It is in his deeds that one glimpses the extent of his love.

Reluctantly, Su Shen released her lips, and Gu Zi immediately looked up, breathing heavily.

She assumed the moment was done, yet she found herself still unwilling to part from him. Unexpectedly, the next second, he tenderly drew near and kissed the upper curve of her chest.

An involuntary gasp escaped her, causing her body to slacken, unable to withstand the intensity of the sensation.

Driven by an uncontrollable impulse, he lightly bit her. Her skin was as soft and smooth as a ball of cotton, inviting him to sink into its velvety texture.

He planted kisses along her collarbone and trailed down to her neck, attempting to appease the frenzied longing coursing through his body—he yearned for her touch.

Gu Zi found herself deeply entangled in the man’s overwhelming desire. He was undeniably handsome; his broad and commanding forehead coupled with deep, captivating eyes exuded a potent allure. In that moment, his demeanor was saturated with lust, his prominent nose nuzzling against her skin, exuding a dominating fervor.

Her cheeks flushed crimson, adding an extra layer of beauty to her countenance. She was aware of the dampness between her legs, a mix of shame and elation flooding her. Eventually, she sought solace by burying her face in the man’s embrace.

Su Shen enveloped the woman’s elegant frame in his arms, his own body temperature rising with desire. With a bold move, his hand slipped beneath her skirt.

On the truck, Gong Xin engaged in lively conversation with Jin Long throughout the journey. She expressed her intention to treat Jin Long to a meal whenever the opportunity presented itself.

Jin Long, a man of integrity, found it uncommon for a woman to extend such a gesture. Without hesitation, he promptly replied, “If the chance arises, I’ll be the one treating you!”

“Agreed,” Gong Xin responded, feeling satisfied with the pleasant conversation. Curious, she inquired further, “Do you think your boss will be upset about what just happened?”

Jin Long flashed a reassuring smile as he pledged, “He won’t hold any grudge against a young lady like you. Besides, you’re a close friend of Sister-in-law’s. Don’t worry. Considering how much our Brother Shen cherishes Sister-in-law, he wouldn’t be upset.”

Speaking of which, Jin Long missed the old Su Shen. Back then, life was more relaxed, unlike the current period when he was incessantly occupied with tasks, barely finding a moment to pause..
