The door to the CEO's office swung open.
A stunning figure appeared.
Lin Xuan recalled how Su Hua had pinned him against the wall just days ago, and a thought flashed through his mind.
Hua Bao (a term of endearment for Su Hua) had completely flipped the script.
This time, he was determined to show her that the man should be the one doing the wall-pinning—that was the proper way.
As Su Hua reached the doorway—
"Ah-Xuan, you're here." The icy glint in Su Hua's eyes softened instantly.
"Hua Bao."
Lin Xuan stepped closer to her.
"I was thinking…" He leaned down, his lips brushing against her ear.
Is Ah-Xuan about to…?
Su Hua's heart pounded wildly, her eyes shimmering with anticipation.
Suddenly, Lin Xuan tightened his grip around her slender waist—so delicate it could be encircled with ease—and guided her to the wall. One hand braced against the surface, he struck the perfect wall-pin pose.
Su Hua gazed up at him, her eyes glistening.
Meanwhile, a crowd of high-wattage spectators watched with sparkling eyes.
This time, they remained utterly silent, careful not to disturb the couple.
Last time, in a similar scene—when Lin Xuan had first visited the company and Su Hua returned from a meeting—they had followed her into the office to handle work. But the moment she reached the door, Lin Xuan had pinned her against the wall. Their shocked screams had ruined the moment.
They couldn’t afford to mess it up again.
After all, they were hoping for something even spicier.
The executives exchanged knowing glances, their eyes glued to the couple.
Jiang Qing: "…"
Oh no.
Putting herself in Lin Xuan's shoes, she could practically dig a three-bedroom apartment with her toes from sheer secondhand embarrassment.
This was too awkward.
But… she wasn’t Lin Xuan. She was just a bystander, and the more cringe-worthy it got, the more she loved it.
"I was thinking…" Lin Xuan chuckled against Su Hua’s ear, "I should be the one pinning you."
"And then what, Ah-Xuan?" Su Hua looped her arms around his neck, her eyes swirling with an unintentionally seductive glow.
"Then…"
Lin Xuan lowered his head and captured her lips.
Holy—!
The executives’ eyes practically glowed.
Lin Xuan, with his back turned, had no idea a pack of human-shaped lightbulbs were staring at them.
Su Hua knew.
But she was too lost in the moment to care.
As Lin Xuan kissed her, the stunning woman closed her eyes.
Their breaths mingled, the gentle press of lips quickly escalating into something deeper, more heated.
When they finally parted, a thin, tantalizing thread still connected them.
Lin Xuan straightened with mock seriousness. "Hua Bao, I'm the man. I should be the one pinning you—not the other way around."
The executives: !!!
That’s a lot to unpack!
So, the CEO acted like a domineering boss in front of her boyfriend?
Su Hua leaned against Lin Xuan’s chest, her eyes dewy.
"Ah-Xuan, my legs feel weak. Carry me into the office, okay?" Her voice was soft, almost pleading.
The executives were baffled.
This was their CEO? The woman who radiated icy authority? The way she clung to Lin Xuan—so sweet, so vulnerable—was something they’d never seen before.
Wait…
Could it be that their CEO had a dual personality—both cold and sweet?
Damn.
Lin Xuan was one lucky guy.
Under the collective gaze of the gossip-hungry crowd, Lin Xuan bent down and scooped Su Hua into his arms, carrying her bridal-style into the office.
The executives watched, reluctant to look away.
Just as Lin Xuan turned to close the door, he finally noticed them—all of them—grinning like proud aunties.
Lin Xuan: !!!
Here it comes—the grand return of public humiliation !
Wait.
Since when were there so many people?!
Hadn’t it been empty earlier?!
His hand twitched, and if not for sheer willpower, he might’ve dropped Su Hua right then and there.
Ahem.
The executives suddenly found the ceiling very interesting.
"Oh, look at the time! I’ve got work to finish."
"Yeah, me too."
"Mr. Lin, we definitely didn’t see you pin the CEO, didn’t see you kiss her, and certainly didn’t hear about you being the one getting dominated. Please, carry on!"
With files clutched in hand, they scattered like startled birds.
Lin Xuan: "…"
Yeah, sure. You heard nothing.
"Ah-Xuan, are you blushing?" Su Hua’s brows arched playfully.
"Obviously." Lin Xuan looked utterly defeated. "This is peak embarrassment. If there was a hole, I’d dive in headfirst."
"Ah-Xuan, I have one."
Su Hua’s breath tickled his ear, warm and teasing.
"Huh?" Lin Xuan blinked. Where?
Then it hit him.
"Hua Bao, a lady shouldn’t be so naughty." He groaned.
If this kept up, where would his dignity as a man go?
Su Hua’s eyes crinkled with amusement.
"We’re lovers now, and we’ll be husband and wife someday. No need to be shy, Ah-Xuan."
Lin Xuan surrendered.
Screw dignity.
He set Su Hua down on a chair by the dining table.
"Ah-Xuan, feed me?" She gazed up at him with misty, pleading eyes.
"Unless you’d rather crawl into that hole—"
Before she could finish, Lin Xuan hastily grabbed a shrimp. "Here, let me feed you."
Su Hua smiled as he peeled and offered it to her.
She took it between her teeth, then suddenly pressed her lips to his, transferring the shrimp into his mouth.
"Ah-Xuan feeds me… so I should feed Ah-Xuan too."
Lin Xuan’s thoughts raced.
She used to avoid men like the plague—where did she learn all this?!
Probably those books. He really wanted to burn them.
But even if it bruised his male ego… it was also incredibly sweet. And hot.
The office hummed with palpable tension.
Meanwhile, Shao Xingfan approached the door, hand raised to knock—until Jiang Qing stopped him.
"Assistant Shao, Mr. Lin is inside. It might not be the best time."
Shao Xingfan frowned.
That fox was here again?
What a joke. The guy had no skills beyond seduction.
"Secretary Jiang, whether he’s here or not, I have work for the CEO. Surely she wouldn’t neglect business over some man?"
Jiang Qing nodded. "Actually, she would—for this man."
But she shrugged. "Go ahead if you insist. Just saying."
Not my problem if you regret it.
Shao Xingfan knocked, and at Su Hua’s acknowledgment, he entered.
Jiang Qing sighed.
Still holding that grudge against Lin Xuan, huh?
Well, with Su Hua around, he’d have to swallow it.
If he spent more time with Lin Xuan, he’d realize—the man was more than worthy of her.
