179. Chapter 179: Adult Games

A flash of astonishment first crossed Lin Yeman's face, and then, a blush slowly crept up her cheeks, spreading all the way to her earlobes.

Even though she was standing quietly in front of Shen Huai at this very moment.

This sudden reversal of the plot made her feel as if she had boarded a runaway drop tower.

Her heart was beating rapidly, like a frightened little deer, crashing wildly inside her chest.

"Shen Huai, you..." She opened her mouth, but did not know what to say.

Shen Huai reached out and gently tucked a strand of hair behind her ear, his gaze deep and charming. "What? Unwilling?"

Lin Yeman bit her lip, her eyes flickering.

"This... this is the office..."

"So what?" Shen Huai raised an eyebrow, his tone carrying a hint of a smile. "Isn't Director Lin always sharp and fearless? Could it be that you are afraid of this?"

"Who... who is afraid!" Lin Yeman glared at him defiantly, though she could not help but swallow hard for a moment.

Watching this vivid and alluring scene before her, Luo Xiaoya coughed awkwardly, breaking the frozen atmosphere in the office.

"Ahem, General Manager Shen, this is the office, please mind the influence; don't scare the other colleagues."

Hearing this, the smile at the corners of Shen Huai's mouth deepened.

He withdrew his hand from teasing Lin Yeman's hair and turned to look at Luo Xiaoya, his tone carrying a hint of mockery: "Is Miss Luo worried about me? Or are you worried about Director Lin?"

Luo Xiaoya's expression stiffened, and she managed to squeeze out a smile: "I am just reminding General Manager Shen; after all, there are other colleagues in the company."

Shen Huai nodded with a smile, but his eyes never left Lin Yeman.

"Director Lin, regarding the game plot, I have some revision suggestions I need to discuss with you privately; I might have to make you work overtime."

His tone seemed plain, but everyone present understood the hidden meaning in his words.

Especially Lin Yeman; she felt her cheeks burning even hotter.

Even Xiao Li, who usually had poor emotional intelligence, realized what was happening. He awkwardly withdrew the hand holding his phone and said to Shen Huai: "General Manager Shen, about the remaining plot, you see..." Shen Huai said indifferently: "Leave the rest of the testing to the testing team."

Xiao Li felt as if he had been granted an amnesty, nodded hurriedly to acknowledge, and then fled the office as if escaping.

Watching the ambiguous atmosphere between Shen Huai and Lin Yeman, a trace of disappointment and helplessness flashed in Liu Shishi's eyes.

She understood completely that between her and Shen Huai, it was no longer possible.

Seeing this, Luo Xiaoya took a deep breath, said nothing, and turned around to leave.

Su Meng patted Liu Shishi on the shoulder and pulled her along as they walked out. Before leaving, she gave Lin Yeman a meaningful look.

The office returned to silence, leaving only Shen Huai and Lin Yeman.

An ambiguous atmosphere swirled between the two, like an invisible silk thread, binding them tightly together.

Shen Huai looked at Lin Yeman, his gaze deep and charming. "Director Lin, may I ask, do you accept overtime?"

Lin Yeman's heart was beating fast, as if it were about to jump out of her chest.

She bit her lip and said with feigned composure: "Overtime? Sure, but how does General Manager Shen plan to pay my overtime wages?"

Shen Huai chuckled, a flash of cunning light in his eyes: "Oh? What kind of overtime pay does Director Lin want? Just ask, as long as I can afford it."

"I want..."

Lin Yeman deliberately drew out her voice, her eyes shifting with a hint of provocation, "I want you... to play a game with me."

"Play a game?" Shen Huai raised an eyebrow, his tone carrying a hint of playfulness, "What kind of game?"

"Of course, it's... an adult game."

Lin Yeman leaned close to Shen Huai and whispered in his ear, her breath as fragrant as orchids. (End of chapter)
