He's spoiled rotten; that wolf cub knows how to flirt and be affectionate.

A fragrance lingered around her nose, and Qu Yi felt that the scent was somewhat familiar. She opened her eyes and realized that she was indeed in her own room.

Turning my head, I saw a small cake on the bedside table, about the size of my palm, and very pretty.

Lian He sat on the edge of the bed, his delicate collarbone visible through the collar of his shirt. He propped his chin up and stared at Qu Yi until Qu Yi opened her eyes, at which point he straightened up.

"you're awake."

"What are you looking at me for?"

When Qu Yi tried to speak, he found his throat was dry and his voice was several octaves lower.

Lian He quickly handed over a cup of hot water. Qu Yi sat up, tilted his head back, and drank it down in a few gulps. His throat finally felt a little better.

"Are you hungry? You can eat after you brush your teeth."

After Qu Yi finished washing up, Lian He pushed the cake toward her.

"this is……"

"These are homemade treats, not very sweet. Try them."

Qu Yi scooped up a piece with a spoon and put it in her mouth. The taste was all too familiar. She gave him a half-smile.

Made from chestnuts?

Lian He's eyes widened: "Have you ever eaten this?"

Qu Yi shook his head.

The taste was so familiar; it was his favorite chestnut. He loved anything made with chestnuts.

"What time is it?" Qu Yi asked.

"Around 12 o'clock."

"Noon?!"

"Hmm." Lian He looked away, embarrassed.

What is this concept?

Qu Yi's feelings were extremely complicated.

Lian He arrived yesterday around 5 p.m.

And now it's already noon on the second day.

I saw her take out her clothes to change, as if she was about to go out.

Lian He asked, "Are we still going to the company?"

Qu Yi nodded: "Yes, I have something to do today. I made an appointment with someone yesterday."

Lian He narrowed his dark eyes. Yesterday?

Could it be the man he saw?

He walked over, pressed her down onto the soft bed, and leaned down to bite her lips.

"Lian He!"

Qu Yi turned his head away, revealing a look of annoyance.

Lian He moved his lips down and sucked on her neck, leaving a clear mark.

When Qu Yi arrived at the company, her assistant lowered her gaze, widened her eyes, and blushed.

"Ahem, um, Mr. Qu, your neck..."

"Still not covered?"

"what?"

Qu Yi frowned and couldn't help but mutter under her breath, "That little rascal."

The assistant's ears perked up. Hearing Qu Yiming scolding, yet still with an extremely helpless tone, his gossipy nature ignited.

This was the first time she'd ever heard President Qu speak like that!

After the meeting, the team, who had only graduated a year ago, left seemingly calm but actually very excited.

Qu Yi watched them enter the elevator.

The elevator doors closed.

Qu Yi's expression instantly turned cold: "I have an identical proposal on my desk."

The assistant's expression hardened: "I'll check right away."

Companies with power and influence generally don't take these self-established small studios seriously. Sometimes, their things will be directly taken away, or they will be given a sum of money to buy them out.

This kind of thing happens quite often, but I didn't expect to be caught by Boss Qu.

Ugh!

The assistant silently lit a candle in his heart for the "predator" in the company.

When he got home, Lian He was no longer there.

She took out her phone and realized he had sent a message before he left, but she was too busy and only saw it now.

—【I'm back at school; I have an event tomorrow.】

--【good.】

She replied a few minutes later.

—I've ridden away on my bicycle.

--【Um.】

Lian He sent a voice message.

Click on the melody.

The sound coming from the phone was clear and pleasant, as bright and clear as the moon.

Are you free tomorrow? The event ends at 5 PM, and I'd like to see you... and grab a bite to eat while we're at it.

Qu Yi felt that familiar clingy feeling again.

—【I'll come pick you up.】
