Chapter 47.3

Indeed, in the education he received from society, trying to interfere in someone else’s relationship, even just in thought, was too much.

Meanwhile, Meng Zhengrong and Xu Yuan sat in the cramped office, having lunch. In the past, they would each occupy one side of the sofa, but today, Meng Zhengrong shamelessly settled beside her.

“Your desk is too empty,” Meng Zhengrong said, sipping his soup. “You should put some photos or something.”

Xu Yuan lowered her gaze, “Like what?”

“For example, our pictures.”

Xu Yuan knew why Meng Zhengrong had come today; she understood his intentions.

But strangely, seeing his boyish demeanor, she didn’t feel annoyed. Instead, it stirred a complicated emotion within her.

Between a man who usually acts childish but occasionally mature and one who is usually mature but acts childish in front of her, which one is more attractive?

For Xu Yuan, it was definitely the latter.

“Are there any photos of us on your desk?” Xu Yuan set down her chopsticks and said calmly.

Meng Zhengrong shook his head, pulled out his phone, and tossed it to Xu Yuan. “There aren’t any on the desk, but there are plenty in my phone.”

Xu Yuan took Meng Zhengrong’s phone and said helplessly, “Password?”

“You can try unlocking it with your fingerprint.”

Xu Yuan was taken aback, then tried the fingerprint unlock, and to her surprise, it worked. She looked at Meng Zhengrong in confusion. “What does this mean?”

“I recorded it after you fell asleep last night,” Meng Zhengrong said, pretending to be casual. He really didn’t want to act cool, but he truly was a good man. “You can look at my phone anytime you want.”

“Who wants to look at it?” Xu Yuan said, though she was secretly pleased.

Having been in this era for some time, she was gradually integrating into it. For contemporary people, a phone represents all privacy. His openness to give her access and let her look at it, although she wouldn’t check, still made Xu Yuan quite happy.

When she opened Meng Zhengrong’s album, the latest photo made Xu Yuan furious.

It was a selfie he had taken while hugging her from behind, seemingly while she was asleep. There was a kiss mark on her shoulder, and they were very close together, with Meng Zhengrong grinning at the camera, showing off his perfect white teeth.

Even though nothing was exposed, the photo was far too suggestive.

Xu Yuan shot Meng Zhengrong a glare and tried to delete the photo. Before she could, Meng Zhengrong snatched it back and pinned her to the sofa.

The sofa in Xu Yuan’s office was not very large; three people could barely fit.

Meng Zhengrong had just lifted his restrictions yesterday, and with thoughts of Xu Yuan from the previous day running through his mind, being on top of her triggered a reaction almost instantly.

In the past, he would have felt embarrassed, but now it was different; he even intentionally rubbed against Xu Yuan.

Xu Yuan felt the change in his body, her face turned red, and she pushed him away with all her might. “Get off, you’re too heavy.”

In Meng Zhengrong’s ears, the phrase “you’re too heavy” from Xu Yuan sounded incredibly suggestive, making it hard for him to maintain his composure.

“How am I heavy? I clearly have such a good figure,” Meng Zhengrong said, his face close to hers, chuckling softly.

“Stop joking. This is the office; hurry up and get off. What if they come back?” Xu Yuan saw the look on Meng Zhengrong’s face and genuinely thought he was going too far, and she was immediately filled with embarrassment and anger.

Seeing Xu Yuan’s porcelain-like face turn red, Meng Zhengrong couldn’t help himself and gently bit her cheek, controlling his strength so it wouldn’t hurt. “They won’t be back that soon. Besides, they can’t see in here; the curtains are drawn.”

Actually, Meng Zhengrong wasn’t that bold; he just wanted to tease Xu Yuan and get a little sweetness for himself.

Though the idea of doing something in the office was tantalizing, it wasn’t the right time, and someone could walk in at any moment.

Xu Yuan was infuriated, but Meng Zhengrong was much taller than her, so she really couldn’t push him off.

She had to resort to her ultimate weapon, frantically pinching and tugging at him, hoping he would let her go out of pain.

Meng Zhengrong truly felt the pain and grimaced. “Even if you’re going to kill me today, I won’t let go.”

Xu Yuan wasn’t sure whether Meng Zhengrong was genuinely trying to go too far or just teasing her. After all, at other times, she could discern, but in this moment, it was impossible.

If the employees walked in and saw her and Meng Zhengrong like this, she wouldn’t want to live anymore.

The more Xu Yuan thought about it, the angrier she got, and she bit down on Meng Zhengrong’s shoulder, inadvertently losing control of her strength due to her nervousness.

Meng Zhengrong couldn’t endure that kind of pain and immediately let Xu Yuan go, standing up and holding his shoulder in pain. He looked at Xu Yuan, frowning. “Are you a dog or something?”

How could she think he genuinely wanted to do anything?

Meng Zhengrong felt like he might be bleeding from his shoulder. If they had actually done something, it could be considered playful, but since they hadn’t, and he had just reacted, he was frightened into not being able to react at all.

Xu Yuan calmly adjusted her clothes and pointed to a certain part of his body. “Next time, it won’t be so simple.”

His shoulder was already hurting, but now that Xu Yuan pointed at him, even though they were at a distance, Meng Zhengrong felt something else beginning to hurt.

The saying “a man’s nature is a man’s nature” was indeed true. After the pain, Meng Zhengrong started to let his imagination run wild.

She had bitten his shoulder, but what had she just said? “Next time, it won’t be so simple,” and then pointed at him.

Heh heh heh heh.

Xu Yuan didn’t know what Meng Zhengrong was thinking, but she could tell that he surely wasn’t thinking of anything good. Otherwise, why would he be getting excited?

“What are you thinking about?” Xu Yuan couldn’t help but shout at him, utterly fed up because his expression was too infuriating and too lewd!

Meng Zhengrong, still lost in his thoughts, returned to reality when he heard her shout. With an innocent expression, he said, “I was thinking about you.”

Xu Yuan realized that compared to his shamelessness, she truly could only admit defeat, as he was utterly unashamed.
