Su Xiqin didn't expect such an action from Bai Yansen. Her body froze as she gazed at this man before her with fear.
At such a close distance, she could smell the faint scent of tobacco from him. She wasn't a virgin, but it was the first time she was so close to a stranger. Even with Mo Xigu, she had never come face to face so closely like this before.
Her heart raced immediately, and she raised her hands to push against this man who was leaning toward her. She looked at Bai Yansen, who had a serious expression, with astonishment.
A typhoon seemed to be building up in his calm deep eyes, about to be hitting her way. He was obviously furious, but he also expressed a sense of mysteriousness. Disregarding the sense of mysteriousness, Su Xiqin couldn't understand why he was furious.
Is it because I hit his car?
Her breath started to grow faster as she was being held like that. The anger in Bai Yansen's eyes dispersed when he saw her breathing so heavily. What was left was that unreadable deepness as he calmly gazed at her.
The intimate position and the silent gazes of the two people were like a silk ribbon tightly tying the two together. Su Xiqin was normally a calm and cold person, but in such a sudden turn of events, even her heart started to pound fast.
Just when she realized how inappropriate this was, the dark shadow on top of her slowly pressed down. Su Xiqin reacted by quickly turning her head to the side, and the warm lips pressed down her earlobe.
In the next second, she gave him a heavy push. Bai Yansen didn't seem to expect that she would react this way, so he was pushed back two steps. But, he quickly halted his steps. However, a smirk with disdain appeared on his face, and his words became mocking.
"Ms. Su, do you not know sometimes that one's abilities aren't actually important?"
Su Xiqin's face and ears grew red. She understood what he meant. She thought he must have heard the demeaning words that Mo Xigu said to her, so now he was shamelessly bringing up the unspoken rules. (TL note: basically means that you gotta sleep with someone to get the job or project)
She looked down and laughed slightly. After a while, she looked up and said in an icy tone, "Are you referring to the unspoken rules, Mr. Bai?"
Bai Yansen unconsciously raised a brow. Su Xiqin thought it was extremely pathetic how a big corporation would use the unspoken rules and not one's true capabilities to determine who they would work with. She was extremely disappointed.
Who was the one that said Bai Yansen isn't a lustful person? Bullsh*t! All the women he got in touch with probably had to sleep with him because of the unspoken rules. She took a deep breath and met Bai Yansen's gaze with an icy look.
She said, "So you, Mr. Bai, use such a method to decide which design draft is chosen? I'm sorry for not knowing better, but I do not accept this."
The deep gaze two steps from her was fierce like an eagle, and he stared firmly at her. Su Xiqin knew that she did her best to get the collaboration with the Zhuosheng Corporation.
She would find another way to get the divorce if she couldn't get this contract.
She turned around the next second and pulled the door to exit the suite. Then, she quickly disappeared from Bai Yansen's sight.
At the door, Bai Yansen gazed at the direction Su Xiqin took off, and his gaze grew deeper…
…
Su Xiqin went back to her private room where Tang Xi was after she left the luxury suite. Tang Xi and Little Milk Bun were so full that they were lying on the sofa. When Little Milk Bun saw Su Xiqin walk over, he immediately jumped up.
"Su-Su, you're back! Did you finish work?" the little boy asked as he slid off the sofa. As soon as his feet touched the ground, he skittled over with his short legs and bare feet.
Su Xiqin put away her disappointment and bent down to Little Milk Bun's eye level to embrace him who had run over to welcome her. "I finished work. We can go home now," she said. Then, she gently stroked his soft mushroom-shaped hair.
This kid ran back to the sofa immediately after hearing her response, and he picked up his backpack. He put it on and leaned over to put on his shoes.
Tang Xi was half lying down, and she seemed to have picked up the disappointment from Su Xiqin's face. However, she didn't comment on it. A few minutes later, the three left the private room.
Little Milk Bun, with his backpack, walked in the front. He gazed around while the two adults following him casually chatted.
Suddenly, Little Milk Bun saw a figure in the direction he was gazing at. He turned around and told Su Xiqin, "Su-Su, I need to go pee."
