“Ha ha ha!”

She realized that the more she tried to rub off the lipstick, the more the stain spread—no. It should be that his lips had become more tinted with red than before.

Now, the man’s lips looked as though lipstick had been directly applied on them. The red was so evenly spread on his lips they looked very kissable.

She had an urge to bite his lips because they looked so delectable!

Her imagination was running wild as she rubbed his lips when, suddenly, the man’s hand grabbed hers.

“Er?” Returning from her fantasies, she realized what she had been doing when she caught sight of the man’s obsidian irises glinting coldly.

“I’m sorry!” she quickly apologized. “I was too engrossed in rubbing...”

His brows twitched when she lowered her head abashedly. “Are you having fun?”

“Yes, it’s really...” She reflexively admitted this but trailed off when her brain caught up to what she was saying and immediately corrected herself. “It’s really not fun at all!”

He cocked a brow at her silly look, lightly snorted, and remarked with displeasure inside, I actually got seduced by this dumb woman! Looking carefully, she is not even that beautiful and still looks the same as before. No matter how beautifully dressed she is, she’s still as silly as ever!

She blinked at him and moved to speak but was stopped by the man stretching his arm to her.

She subconsciously wanted to dodge, but his hand was already looped around her neck, pinning her in place.

“Wha-What are—” She cut her words short when she felt something cold and soft touch her lips.

Ji Ziming’s fingers are touching my lips?!

Her eyes widened infinitely and then she glared at him. Her eyes were lit up by the words: ‘The hell?! You must be sick!’

Just as her eyes expressed this, she thought to herself, What has gone into this annoying fellow’s head?! Is he alright?!

“Indeed. Very interesting.” He suddenly spoke these words while Pei Ge was looking at him as if he were a lunatic.

A tinge of interest could be detected in his voice.

His words made her even more certain that the man was off his rocker!

The hell?! He’s definitely sick in the head, and it’s at a severe level!

Some time passed, and he finally removed his fingers from her luscious lips.

However, by then, the red hue on her lips had already mostly been removed.

He felt a sense of accomplishment at the lightened color of her lips.

“This is very beautiful.” His tongue slipped.

Before she could react to his words, the man’s face darkened again, and he corrected himself.

“I’m not talking about you.”

“...” Her lips twitched.

F*ck! This neurotic b*stard! He’s really very ill.

She grumbled about him inside. Deciding to ignore a certain CEO, with a screw loose, she plopped onto the soft couch.

He also silently took a seat beside her.

The room was slightly cold as the two sat in comfortable silence, but it still felt cozy because of their presence.

Knock, knock, knock!

Someone suddenly rapped their knuckles on the door.

“Come in,” Ji Ziming answered with a slight frown.

The person outside pushed the door open upon his reply.

“CEO Ji, time is running out. If Miss Pei is done here, we can go now.”

The person that had just opened the door was none other than the man’s faithful assistant, Du Wen.

She realized at that moment that plenty of time had passed unknowingly.

“I’m done; I’m done!” She did not want to continue having a staring contest with the man, so she quickly stood up and announced this.

The man’s forehead scrunched up further when he caught sight of her panicky look.

However, before he could comment on it, the dumb woman gleefully rushed out of the studio.

“... That d*mn, stupid woman!” I still want her change into another set of clothes!

He could only helplessly follow her out of the studio thereafter.

“Ge Ge, wait! Put this on.”

When she stepped out of the studio, Lily, who seemed to have been waiting for her outside, quickly stopped her.

“Huh?” She looked at him in confusion. Suddenly thinking of something, she gave him a dubious look. “Don’t tell me that you’ve been standing here, eavesdropping on us, this whole time?”

“He he he! I’m not that bored! I’m just here to give you the necklace.” Lily laughed dryly.

He he! Of course, not only did I eavesdrop, I even peeked!

Tsk, tsk, tsk! Who would’ve expected that CEO Ji, a rich hottie of the best caliber, would actually fall for her? It really is...

She did not bother arguing with him further on this topic. Glancing at the necklace in his hand, she said, “Then, let’s hurry.”

As she said that, she pulled aside her hair to let Lily help her put on the necklace more easily.

At this point, a clear and low voice suddenly echoed in her ears.

“Let me.”

She opened her eyes wide at the sound of his voice. Before she could turn to look, she felt a cold palm gently caress her neck.

She involuntarily shivered at his touch.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

Following this, she distinctly sensed a strong wave of male pheromones surround her.

Hers eyes softened when she perceived his aura.

She lowered her eyes and saw his slender hands gently looping the necklace around her neck...
