Chapter 56: A Deja Vu Illusion
Good grief!
Her senses were entirely filled with Dongfang She's unique, cool fragrance, accompanied by an aggressive and overbearing aura. Yu Jin panicked slightly, her hands insecurely wrapping around his neck as a delicate flush gradually spread across her small face.
"Assistant Yu, are you trying to seduce me?"
Dongfang She's lips brushed against her ear, his warm breath bewitching her mind.
Yu Jin turned her face away. "No. I have nothing to offer, and I hold no appeal for the CEO. I know my own limitations."
Was she trying to needle him?
"Learning to throw my own words back at me, are you? Hmm?"
Dongfang She's large hand pinched her slender waist as punishment—it was so delicate that he worried he might snap it in two.
How could this man's voice be so overwhelmingly sexy?
Yu Jin was losing her self-control!
"Actually, I prefer you using this."
Dongfang She extended a hand and gently stroked the corner of Yu Jin's lips.
He preferred the taste right here—pure, sweet, and green, making a man want to taste it again and again.
Yu Jin shifted slightly, turning her face away once more. Her face, devoid of color just moments ago, was now flushed pink.
Being held like this was actually extremely uncomfortable, yet she didn't find herself resisting his embrace.
Women could be so impossibly coy!
With a kick, Dongfang She pushed open the door to the lounge and gently laid her down on the bed. He bent down to tuck the blanket around her and turned on the air conditioner, setting it to a comfortable temperature.
"Thank you, CEO." Overcome with drowsiness, Yu Jin fell asleep the moment she touched the bed, her words trailing off into a hazy murmur.
With his hands in his pockets, Dongfang She looked down from above at her sleeping face, the irritation between his brows seeming to dissipate bit by bit.
Actually, aside from her slightly eccentric personality, this woman was quite nice in every other way. Should he give things a try with her?
Realizing he had actually entertained such a thought, Dongfang She was genuinely startled!
Ever since they met, a strange emotional pull had existed between him and Yu Jin. To call it love was too much of a stretch, yet to call it indifference was equally far-fetched.
Every time he laid eyes on her, every fiber of his being screamed at him to throw her down and make her his!
This must simply be a man's innate desire for conquest at work.
Yet this woman held a fatal attraction for him, like a poppy flower—knowing full well it was poisonous, he still found himself helplessly drawn closer!
Her silhouette was far too familiar, always giving him the illusion of a previous acquaintance. Every time he looked at her, his desolate and lonely heart seemed to instantly find a resting place, just like a long-lost rib finally returning to his chest! At the same time, an inexplicable sense of hatred lingered within him, a baffling resentment that made him want to tear away all her disguises!
His emerald eyes flashed sharply, a cold arc forming at the corner of his lips as Dongfang She turned and walked out of the lounge.
In the CEO's office, Qin Ye answered the internal line and walked in.
"Boss?" Seeing Dongfang She frown and hesitate as if wanting to say something, Qin Ye was utterly baffled. What was happening here? Did the boss actually have something troubling his mind?
"Still haven't found the leaker?" Dongfang She asked in a cold voice.
"No, but the matter has quieted down for now. Our system hasn't been breached again." Qin Ye was also puzzled. Given that those photos had been leaked, it was clearly meant to damage Air's reputation and deal a retaliatory blow. So why, after such a long time, had the mastermind still not made their next move?
"Don't lower your guard. Keep watching and beef up our defenses."
"Yes!"
"Have Dean run a background check on Yu Jin. Don't miss a single detail!" After hesitating repeatedly, Dongfang She ultimately still felt uneasy. He always had a hunch that Yu Jin's sudden appearance concealed some massive secret.
