Chapter 189: Okay, I'll listen to the arrangement

Huatian A Block office building.

Dingfeng Studio.

Xu Zhouyuan ran out to pick up Zhang Zixin, and as soon as he saw her, he stepped forward to hold Zhang Zixin's face and kissed her hard in front of Shen Li.

No, it was several times.

After kissing, Zhang Zixin patted his hand away, "Can you be lighter, my foundation is ruined."

"Husband take a look." Xu Zhouyuan leaned closer and really looked carefully, "It's not, wife looks good no matter what."

Shen Li watched them show affection on the side, feeling that she shouldn't have appeared here, and even standing felt extra superfluous.

"Yo, who is this? Isn't this my Sister Li, sorry, didn't see you." Xu Zhouyuan's way of speaking was also annoying to death, "Excuse me~ haven't seen Xinxin for a long time, miss her heart aches."

As he said, he also looked painful, covering his heart.

"It's okay." Shen Li curled her lips and looked at Xie Qin's office door, "I'll go find him."

As soon as Shen Li left, Zhang Zixin rolled her eyes at him, "Dead pretender."

"You don't understand! Wife... I'm paying back for what I got. You don't know how excessive this dog thing Xie Qin was last night. I'll tell you while walking..." Xu Zhouyuan pulled her toward the elevator, taking her to eat.

As soon as Shen Li walked into the office area, several gazes fell on her, she tried her best to ignore them calmly, stood at the door of Xie Qin's office, raised her hand to knock before entering, the door wasn't closed, it opened with a touch.

Xie Qin raised his eyes, looked at her, and continued to stare at the laptop screen: "Wait for me for two minutes."

"Mm." Shen Li nodded slowly, walked into the office and closed the door, didn't disturb him, sat on the sofa nearby, her gaze falling quietly on him.

Xie Qin probably noticed the gaze placed on him with ulterior motives, raised his eyebrows with interest, 'tsk'ed: "Can you... restrain your gaze, it's too exposed."

Shen Li was confused, he was saying words she couldn't understand again: "What's exposed?"

He looked at her lazily with lowered eyes, his tone slowed down, biting his words: "Your thoughts of having ulterior motives toward me."

Shen Li curled her lips, not wanting to spoil his fun, following his words: "Is it very obvious? Then... I'll try to restrain it, and not be so exposed."

His tone was playful: "I don't think you want to restrain, but rather want to deliberately seduce me?"

Shen Li didn't know where he saw it, she looked at him and it became seduction, her heart moved, he thought it was so, so she admitted: "Mm, yes, I want to seduce you."

"Sitting so far away, how do you want to seduce me? Not doing anything else?" Xie Qin put down his work, turned sideways, rested his head on his hand, and flirted with her with a lazy smile on his lips.

"..."

Shen Li stared at his brows, her eyes moved slightly, and an uncertain suspicion arose in her heart. Was Xie Qin actively inviting her to do something? If so, she was actually very willing. Her heart seemed to be pulling her, wanting to get closer to him, she stood up slowly, walked to his side, and then... threw herself into his arms, sat on his lap, hooked her arms around his neck slowly, and kept her gaze firmly locked on his face, "

Shen Li stared at his brows and eyes, her gaze flickering slightly. A sense of uncertain doubt welled up in her heart: was Xie Qin actively inviting her to do something? If he was, she was actually quite willing. Her heart seemed to be pulling her as well, wanting to get closer to him. She stood up very slowly, walked to his side, and then... threw herself into his arms, sitting on his lap. Her hands slowly hooked around his neck, her gaze firmly locked onto his face, never moving away. "Like this?"

When she took the initiative, she wasn't as calm as she appeared on the surface, nor could she remain unmoved; every time she got close to him, her heart would race rapidly.

Xie Qin's hand landed naturally on her soft waist, continuing to wait for her next move. After a moment of silence, seeing she had no other actions, he asked, "Just this?"

Isn't it enough?

Shen Li hooked her arms around his neck, her gaze slowly moving down from his eyes, finally landing on his lips. Tentatively, she leaned in and gave him a kiss as light as a dragonfly skimming the water.

"Is this okay now?"

Xie Qin raised a hand to pinch her chin, tilting his head to look at her reddened lips, and let out a low laugh. "You're still quite restrained, then. Just... kissed once."

Shen Li looked at his smile, finding it dazzling and also quite roguish. "There are people outside; it wouldn't be very good if someone walked in and saw us."

Xie Qin seized the loophole in her words, his eyes like polished lacquer, looking at her with a smile in his brows. "Are you saying... if we find a place with no one around, you can do whatever you want to me?"

Shen Li: "..."

Actually... she didn't have that thought.

She pressed her lips together and didn't speak.

Sometimes, she... didn't quite know how to respond to what Xie Qin said.

A while later, Shen Li finally recovered. What had she come to find him for? "Xie Qin..."

"Speak."

"I'm hungry."

Xie Qin looked at her steadily for a moment, and the few words that had been permeating the atmosphere between them instantly dissipated. Fearing he wouldn't believe her, fearing he would think she just didn't want to stay with him, Shen Li took his hand and placed it on her stomach. "I'm really hungry, I'm not lying to you."

Xie Qin looked down at where his palm was resting. "Didn't you just eat an hour ago? Hungry so soon?"

Shen Li: "Mm. I don't know why either, I've been getting hungry especially fast today."

"Alright! Pick a place to go eat."

"Mm."

Shen Li was sitting on his lap, and her phone was over by the sofa. Too lazy to get up and grab it, she simply took his phone. The password... she tried entering it, and it was still her birthday, unchanged. She opened an app to look for places to eat nearby.

After finding one, she opened it to show him. "Is this place okay? I think the environment looks quite nice."

Xie Qin didn't even glance at it. "I'm not a picky eater. I'll eat whatever you eat; I'm not choosy."

Xie Qin quickly finished handling the matter at hand. Shen Li had chosen a restaurant with a good environment that cost over three hundred per person. She had originally wanted to go to the Jiangchuan University cafeteria to try the food there, but thinking this was the first time she was treating him to a meal since returning, she decided it should be more formal.

Shen Li stood up. As the two walked side by side to the door, he suddenly reached out and took her hand into his palm, gently wrapping it.

Shen Li's heartbeat skipped a beat, and she subconsciously turned her head to look at him.

Xie Qin didn't speak, just held her hand and walked through the office area. Many people's gazes turned toward them.

When they reached the elevator, Xie Qin raised his hand to press the down button, but he didn't show the slightest intention of letting go of her hand.

His tone carried a bit of casual roguishness as he seriously made up an excuse: "Don't misunderstand. There are too many people in the studio who keep coming up to harass me; I'm just using you as a free shield."

Seeing she didn't speak.

Xie Qin turned his head to look at her: "Any objections?"

Shen Li pursed her lips, smiled, and shook her head: "No."

"Good, I should hope you wouldn't dare to have any. Next time, be a bit more observant and take the initiative. Understand?"

"Okay."

She remembered Xie Qin's words.

And she was also very willing to be his shield.

The two walked into the elevator, and Xie Qin pressed the button for the first floor, waiting for the elevator doors to close.

Shen Li looked at him again. "If you don't mind tomorrow, shall we go eat at the school cafeteria? I heard it's quite good, and I haven't had a chance to try it since I arrived two days ago."

Xie Qin met her gaze, raised an eyebrow, and said lazily, "It's not impossible to go now; no need to wait until tomorrow."

Shen Li didn't want to refuse. "Let's do tomorrow. Today I want to treat you to something good; it shouldn't be too casual."

Xie Qin beamed: "Alright, I'll follow your arrangements."
