"I don't know," Xie Jingyu answered with a shrug of his shoulders. "But even if she is not yet, she will be at some point in the near future."
Old Man Xie nodded his head; he had to agree to this, from what he could see, she treated this man as someone special.
The following day, Yu Huiyin once again awoke to find herself sticking closely to Xie Jingyu's body.
She was no longer feeling bashful or embarrassed by her own behavior. If in the beginning, she had been extremely emotional, she had by now gotten used to it, and could only shake her head at her reaction.
It wasn't like Xie Jingyu was forcing her to lay on top of him like that. In fact, she admired his ability to sleep with her fidgeting around on him like this.
Little did she know that it was, in fact, Xie Jingyu's fault. He was the one who had dragged her into his embrace in the beginning, but now she had gotten used to the warmth and couldn't stop seeking it out.
At the same time, she was also unaware that every night was like sweet torment to Xie Jingyu.
Although he seemed as if he had gotten a good rest and that he was not troubled by her moving around, he was truly constantly fighting against the evil fire within him.
All of these facts were hidden from Yu Huiyin, who had taken everything to be coincidences.
As she stirred in the bed, Xie Jingyu also awoke, but he did not get up before she headed into the bathroom. He did not want to show her how his lower body had risen in answer to her intimate sleeping posture.
Yu Huiyin was too busy getting ready. Today would be her first day at work, and she wanted to do well. She wanted to leave a good impression on her coworkers, as this was her first job that had some prospects.
Xie Jingyu was lying on the bed, continuing to think about varying dull stock prices, and slowly he felt the fire die out.
He then got up, found some clothes, and headed to the bathroom down the hallway. He, too, had to get ready since they were going to work together.
He could not wait to show the world that this woman was his, that she was not just his assistant but also his wife. Unfortunately, it seemed that that would take a bit more time.
After they had gotten ready, Xie Jingyu and Yu Huiyin met at the dining room to have their breakfast.
"When work ends today, we are going to visit your family," Xie Jingyu said. It was not a suggestion, it was a decision he had already made, and Yu Huiyin was not against it. She promised to introduce him as her boyfriend, so she had to do so.
As they set off from the manor, Xie Jingyu had picked a new sports car instead of his usual Maybach. They set off towards the office building, and both Xie Jingyu and Yu Huiyin were feeling immensely excited, but for varying reasons.
Yu Huiyin had never worked at a corporation before, so she did not know what it meant to show up together. Xie Jingyu, on the other hand, was fully aware that showing up like this together would prove that they were a couple, or at least very close. This was precisely what he wanted.
As they arrived at the office building, Xie Jingyu drove towards his parking lot, and here he parked the car before getting out and opening the door for Yu Huiyin.
It was in the middle of the rush hour; most of the upper management of the company was driving to work and were arriving at this hour, only to see their cold boss smilingly acting like a gentleman and opening the door for a woman.
They were full of disbelief; many even stopped in their tracks to rub their eyes in an attempt to see if they had indeed seen the right thing.
The woman who got out of the car was so stunning that they were all shocked beyond belief. She was wearing a chic black skirt that covered her knees, and a pair of stockings and a pair of stilettos alongside a white shirt.
She looked professional as if she was an office worker. She was not wearing any jewelry or the like.
Everyone began guessing about her relationship with their big boss, and many came to the conclusion that it was an unspeakable one. That she had offered her body in exchange for a job.
They were not completely wrong, but not really right, either.
As they entered the office building together, the many people who saw them together were stunned, and even more when they saw him taking her to the human resources department in person.
Here the entire department was as if in shock as they saw the happy smile on Xie Jingyu's face, and even more so when they noticed that she was going through the formalities of becoming his assistant.
They all looked at Yu Huiyin as if she was a fox spirit. How had she managed to bewitch their CEO completely? He, who was as pure as new-fallen snow and as clean as the brightest jade.
He had never had any relationships before with women, no one knew of him and his personal life, but even more surprisingly, he had now appeared with a woman by his side, and he was even doing everything to look gentle and warm in her presence.
It was as if the cold person he usually was, was nowhere to be found.
