Chapter 12: Her Waist Was So Slender and Soft

Her waist was so slender and soft,
the lower it went, the more it revealed.

The hot mist from the tea beside her gradually dissipated. She came back to her senses, put her phone aside, and continued to immerse herself in her own world.

A large oil project that involved a huge amount of money urgently needed to be dealt with. The intricate Arabic text was overwhelming, and she burned incense for a while, hoping for some divine efficacy.

She would probably have to leave Shanghai for a week once the No. 1 leather project was fully implemented.

Flying all over the world had become the norm, but now she felt that staying here was quite wrong.

The rain was heavy, and in the middle of the night, the pattering drops fell onto the lotus leaves in the back garden, until the leaves were full, they slightly bent, and some of the water dripped down, repeating the cycle.

This continuous rain, if it continued for another day under the sun, everything would become moldy.

It was good that the contract was signed today, the sky was vast and empty.

If she were in the wild, she would definitely be able to see a rainbow looming on the horizon.

After confirming some things again, Shen Muyan went to the Shanghai International Port and Trade Group, to Qin Yanzhou’s office to browse the contract details. There was nothing that needed to be changed.

Lu Lin had already arrived at the press conference venue, and the crowd was like a sea of people.

The fact that the Shen family, one of the top families in Shanghai, was collaborating with the Qin family, a leading enterprise in Shanghai, was enough to cause a stir in the financial circle. Any media outlet that could obtain the first-hand information would be able to raise its position within the circle.

“Mr. Qin.”

Qin Yanzhou looked up at the sound of her voice. A flash of surprise instantly flickered in his eyes, but it was quickly concealed by his usual indifference. He knew that when he acted out of character, he would be conscious of covering it up.

“You look different today.”

She was wearing a fixed-cloud fringed gauze silk cheongsam, her slightly curled hair was elegantly tied up, adorned with delicate pearl hairpins, her black hair and red lips, like a shy peony in a hazy brothel.

The cheongsam was tailored to her figure, making Shen Muyan look even more delicate and beautiful, her distant eyebrows, and her eyes like painted peaches, met Qin Yanzhou’s gaze.

“Mr. Qin, I got up early today to dress up, do you think it looks good?”

Shen Muyan had just finished speaking, her eyes blinking with anticipation for his reply.

Women dress up to please the ones they love. She felt that it was enough to dress herself up beautifully to cheer herself up, but hearing someone else’s unreserved compliment would make her even happier.

Moreover, she had just caught a glimpse of the surprise hidden in Qin Yanzhou’s eyes.

“Very beautiful.” Qin Yanzhou looked at Shen Muyan, who was simply listening to the compliment, and it was written all over her face, too obvious.

She was so innocent, easily flattered.

“Hmph, I’m so sleepy.” After being arrogant for more than a second, Shen Muyan acted like a lazy cat, resting her chin on Qin Yanzhou’s desk.

Their relationship was quite familiar.

Noticing her action, he didn’t speak, just curved his lips slightly, with a hint of pampering.

Only Shen Muyan dared to rest her chin on his desk while dozing off, and yet she was so angry about it.

After half a minute, Shen Muyan instantly realized her slight indiscretion, her eyes lifted, she retracted her chin, and sat properly.

Qin Yanzhou didn’t say anything.

The two of them went to the venue together, and at half past twelve, they were ready to go again.

The red carpet extended to the corner of the resting area. Shen Muyan and Qin Yanzhou were only half a step behind each other. The red carpet wasn’t laid flat, and she didn’t notice it.

She lost her balance slightly, and just as Shen Muyan was about to fall, a strong arm circled her waist, elegantly supporting her.

The warmth of his palm landed on the side of her waist, the temperature permeated through the fabric of her cheongsam.

“Steady.”

Qin Yanzhou’s expression didn’t change in the slightest, but in reality, his breath caught in his throat, and his tone was tinged with a hint of heat.

His deep voice spilled from his throat. Shen Muyan, her face flushed red, leaned against his arm, regaining her balance. The two of them were too close.

“Thank you.”

She took a step back from her awkwardness, but the temperature of Qin Yanzhou’s palm still lingered on her waist, a tingling sensation.

Qin Yanzhou formally retracted his arm, and then spoke.

In reality, in that fleeting moment just now, the man’s evil thoughts were aroused. Shen Muyan’s waist was like…

Truly uncontrollable.

So slender and soft.

Even a Buddhist monk would be tempted.

He knew that he was acting out of character today.

This was the first time.

The touch of her soft and delicate skin against his palm eroded his rationality, his steps quickened, he followed her closely behind.

…………

The press conference went smoothly, as for the photos, Qin Yanzhou had instructed beforehand that none could be released, and no media dared to act on their own accord.

The meeting was to sign the documents, the confidential parts had not yet been released.

The reporters didn’t need Qin Yanzhou and Shen Muyan to answer their questions personally. After signing the contract, they left, leaving the assistants of both sides to deal with them.

Shen Muyan went back to catch up on her sleep. Just as she was taking off her hair ornaments, she suddenly remembered that her bag was left in Qin Yanzhou’s office.

“Ugh.” She rubbed her temples, feeling that she must have stayed up too late, her memory was failing her.

As soon as she thought of Qin Yanzhou’s extremely handsome face, she would recall what happened today.

“Sister, it’s time for lunch.” Ning Qing knocked on the door, then entered the bedroom and saw the worried look on Shen Muyan’s face, she spoke softly at the dressing table.

“What’s wrong?”

“Nothing.” She shook her head and put the pearl ornaments aside, but the bright red lipstick on her lips made it impossible to ignore.

Ning Qing’s eyes flickered slightly, her words got stuck in her throat, but she didn’t say anything in the end.

“I’m not hungry, just have the chef heat up the dishes.”

“Okay.”

When the slanting sunlight shone into the room, Shen Muyan looked at the time, it was noon, she thought about Qin Yanzhou’s possible schedule, and then called him.

The call was answered after only two seconds.

“Where’s my bag?” Before Shen Muyan could even think about how to start the conversation, Qin Yanzhou spoke first, his voice was slightly hoarse, the ending of his words slightly raised.

It was as if he had guessed that she would make this call, waiting for confirmation.

“Yeah.” Shen Muyan stammered, “I’ll come over and get it now.”

“Let Lu Lin send it over. Next time pay attention, don’t lose things.” It was like an elder instructing a child, after finishing his words, he raised his eyebrows and stared at the pearl bag next to the computer.

“Okay.” On the phone, Shen Muyan obediently took the scolding, her voice soft again.

He always had this bullying demeanor, and Qin Yanzhou used this kind of expression on her all the time.

She would hang her head, her mouth pouted, and if he said two more words, she would probably run to complain.
