"It's so cramped." I complained half way into the journey.
He chuckled, dark and beautiful sound that made my heart feel mushy. "Say that again when you are not snuggled comfortably in my arms."
I rolled my eyes and pouted. Not like he was wrong.
He felt so warm and cuddly, that all the stress from the office just seemed to melt away. He smelled of sweet peach blossom flowers and I only realized now that he had always had that scent on him.
For the first time, in forever. It felt like I was in my mother's embrace when I was a child's
How I miss those times.
Snuggled closer into the warmth of his body, forgetting the fact that this was Yichen. Even ignoring the fact that he went rigid thanks to my movement.
I closed my eyes, and with rosy cheeks, I simply drifted off to sleep.
When I woke up, it was already 7:30 am, and Yichen was no where in sight.
Surprisingly, when I looked down, I was wearing my pajamas. Did he change me? My cheeks warmed at the thought and I found myself blushing furiously.
This was not the first time, he had seen my bare body, but just the thought of it was driving me crazy.
My heart raced and I yelled from overstimulation.
Glad I wasn't conscious when he was doing all that. And surprisingly I had no dreams again. Just bliss. A very good morning I must say.
Time to make breakfast.
I yawned and quickly got off the bed, set an alarm, and then with my flip flops I descended down the stairs to the kitchen.
Only to freeze at a cute pink note pasted on the fridge.
I turned to it, there were some words scribbled on it.
"I made egg and bacon, have some little Yi." My cheeks flushed.
Mo Yichen made breakfast?!!!!!!
The Mo Yichen!
The whole world was ending, my eyes widened at the note, and I had to squint my eyes a lot of times before I could get used to the fact that this was indeed Mo Yichen.
My mind flashed with Mo Yichen actually saying this to my face, while twisting his body like an obedient husband, and…. Gross.
"I thought he was meant to be a cold heartless tyrant? What happened to that?" I murmured to myself.
I shivered as I leaned back. Goosebumps rising on my skin.
I better not look at the fridge next time I come down to the kitchen.
Perhaps if it was someone else, they would have prepared a meal for themselves, but since it's mean, how could I let a good food go to waste?
The food had done nothing wrong.
Quickly taking a seat, I delighted myself in having a bite, but the more I eat, the more delicious it was.
"Yichen should totally cook more." I growled in utter bliss. Forgetting the fact that he could not bribe me with food.
Once I was done eating, I washed up and went downstairs, only to find a car waiting for me.
"I thought I told my driver that I would driving alone today? Wait—"
This was Yichen's car.
Don't tell me….
The driver quickly stepped outside and opened the door. Revealing an empty spot, and relief washed over me.
"Get in." He spat out, and I dragged my body stiffly into the car.
There was no way I could avoid him. So I could just do whatever he says.
"Good morning." I quietly said as I slid into the car. He didn't respond and continued working on his laptop.
How could someone work when they are inside a car?
The engine started and we were off for work. Except from the noisy engine, the sound of the wind whooshing past us, and the keyboard sounds, the ride to work was eerily quiet.
For some reason I was anxious.
"You look beautiful." He coldly stated, and I flinched, I turned to him but he wasn't looking at me.
I pressed my lips into a thin line.
"Thank you." I replied with a gulp.
"Did you enjoy the food?" He asked and I shifted in my seat. But didn't answer. The ride was once again quiet save for my beating heart.
Once we arrived at the office, I quickly jumped off, before the driver could open the door.
But I didn't know that, just from that single action, I would attract my staffs around who gave me their curious gazes.
I clenched my fist and wanted to walk away, when Yichen grabbed my arm and stopped me from moving.
For some reason, I felt fear engulf me, but I couldn't move.
I turned and gazed at him. His expression was soft and calm, and my heart ached, perhaps I was being too hard on him?
"Reply to my texts," he simply said and let go of my wrist.
My face flushed red.
I quickly raced into the office and didn't even notice Jing Xu near until we were in my office.
Immediately, I poured myself a cup of water and downed it one go!
"I can't handle this." I grumbled and flopped into my sit.
"Are you okay, Mrs. Mo?" Jing Xu asked, a skeptical look on his face, and I furrowed his brows a bit pissed.
"What do you think?" I snarled.
He clamped his jaws tight and quickly stepped forward and dropped a file before me.
Oh well, let's get back to work and forget Yichen's little antics.
My mind flashed to the soft look on Yichen's face and my anger erupted!
I grumbled, peeling the file open. My brows jumped at the sight before me, a smile slowly tugging at the corner of my lips.
There was no way.
"She wants to interview for the position of manager?" I asked with my brows corked.
For some reason my heart was swelling with joy. Because look what we have here.
"Yes, her credentials are very strong, and besides she has a very good society presence." Jing Xu stated and I scoffed.
Society presence.
She definitely does.
I quietly whispered to myself, "Zhen Rui, do you really know where you applied to work?"
