1Without making a sound, Yang Hanqing felt she was about to die.
Today, she had suddenly received a call from Xiao Ming, who, in his imperious manner, demanded she fire a middle manager and a senior designer from the company. She was naturally unhappy, but helpless, and so upset that she skipped lunch.
Later, Xiao Ming even asked for Jiang Xue's leave. Somehow, thinking about the sweet nothings the couple would be whispering to each other, while she was miserably working, Yang Hanqing felt so irritable and uncomfortable that she simply decided to go shopping to clear her mind.
She had planned to go home, take a shower, and change her clothes, but as luck would have it, even drinking cold water would get stuck in her teeth, the shower in her master bedroom was broken, so she had to use the guest bathroom.
And then Xiao Ming saw her in the altogether.
Remembering how she had her arms raised, completely exposed, not even her armpits spared, she wished she could bite Xiao Ming to death before burrowing into a hole and never coming out again.
Thinking this way, she fiercely grabbed the big hand over her mouth and bit down hard.
"Hiss... Do you belong to the dog family or what? Let go!" Xiao Ming growled in a low voice.
Yang Hanqing just glared at him, her eyes filled with schadenfreude, but then the schadenfreude turned to moisture, and her teeth unwittingly loosened their grip.
Because Xiao Ming's hand also started to exert pressure, as if charged with electricity.
"Do you have to suffer a bit to stay in line, are you a masochist or something?" Xiao Ming said irritably.
"I'm going to let go of you now, don't make a sound, just blink once if you agree."
A strong sense of grievance suddenly surged in Yang Hanqing's heart, her fan-like eyelashes fluttered, squeezing out a crystal-clear tear, her face a picture of pitiable loveliness with an astonishing charm.
Xiao Ming's heartbeat sped up, he let go of her hand, then turned and took a bathrobe off the wall to hand it over.
"So, um, sorry eh! It wasn't on purpose. And you can rest assured, I was too nervous just now to have seen anything."
Yang Hanqing hurriedly put on the bathrobe and wrapped it tightly around herself, lowering her head, "You... your hand..."
Xiao Ming subconsciously rubbed his fingers, "That was irresistible! I mean, normally in that situation, shouldn't you cover yourself quickly? Why did you just think of yelling? There's no one to rescue you."
Yang Hanqing got angry, lifting her leg and kicking him, "Bastard! You bully me, and it's my fault?"
Xiao Ming gave a wry smile, "Yes, yes, it's my fault, I'm sorry! Can we discuss this some other time, for my wife's sake? She's outside and she's less than two months pregnant; she can't withstand this kind of stress, someone could really get hurt."
Seeing his bowing and scraping, Yang Hanqing felt a bit better.
"You're not allowed to bully me again at the drop of a hat!"
Huh? Something about this sentence sounded off.
Xiao Ming murmured to himself, but the situation was urgent, and he had no energy to think about it, so he just nodded, "Okay."
"And you have to agree to a condition from me without questions."
"Hey! Don't get too cheeky!"
Yang Hanqing's eyes welled up again, and Xiao Ming could only raise his hands in surrender.
"Alright, alright, I'll do as you say, okay?"
Yang Hanqing was satisfied, wiped her tears, and said, "You go find an excuse to send Xue to the bedroom, I'll take the opportunity to leave."
Xiao Ming thought about it and not having a better idea said, "Then be careful not to make any noise."
"I'm not as stupid as you think, okay?"
Yang Hanqing stomped her foot, after speaking she realized her tone was quite coquettish, and her face turned red.
Xiao Ming didn't see, he shushed her and tiptoed to the door, opening it only to be so shocked his hair stood on end.
"Xue'er!"
Jiang Xue was standing outside the door, with her hand halfway raised, obviously about to knock.
"Why are you shouting so loudly? You scared me."
Xiao Ming's back was drenched in cold sweat, he forced a smile, "Err... I wasn't expecting you outside, it startled me."
Jiang Xue shook her head, "Go out, I need to use the bathroom too."
"No! I... I haven't gone yet."
"What have you been doing all this time then?"
"Sightseeing, you know."
"Sightseeing in someone's bathroom, are you sick or something?"𝑓𝑟ℯ𝘦𝓌𝘦𝘣𝑛𝑜𝓋𝑒𝓁.𝑐ℴ𝓂
"I've never seen such a luxurious bathroom before! Hehehe..."
Jiang Xue sighed, "I give up on you. I'll go to the maid's bathroom. Hurry up and don't dilly-dally, it wouldn't be appropriate if the maid saw you."
"Yes, yes! I'll be right out."
Xiao Ming quickly closed the door after speaking.
Jiang Xue turned and walked a few steps, then suddenly stopped, frowned, looked back at the bathroom door, and muttered, "Why is his chest wet?"
Inside the bathroom, Xiao Ming leaned against the door, gasping for air.
Yang Hanqing, also quite frightened at first, couldn't help laughing when she saw his state, thinking to herself, serves him right! Karma!
Xiao Ming had no mind to care what she thought, waited a moment, then cracked the door open again, just in time to catch a glimpse of Jiang Xue's retreating figure entering a small door in the corner.
"Okay, you can get out now."
Yang Hanqing went to the door to peek outside.
"Stop looking and hurry back to your room to hide," Xiao Ming urged anxiously.
Yang Hanqing glanced at him, stepped firmly on his shoe, humphed softly, and left with her head held high like a proud peacock.
Xiao Ming didn't know whether to laugh or cry, closed the door, and relieved himself.
Nor did they realize that the maid's bathroom door was slightly ajar, and through the crack, Jiang Xue saw everything.
