Lin Mian felt her cheeks burning hot instantly, embarrassed and wishing she could find a hole to bury herself in. Just the night before, she had firmly refused him, only to end up rolling with him last night.
Her face felt like it was being slapped 'pop, pop'.
"I don't have anything more to think about," Lin Mian said awkwardly. "Regardless, thank you for taking care of me last night. I have to go to work now, goodbye."
She turned to the wardrobe to grab some clothes to change into and leave.
Shi Lin leaned lazily against the wardrobe, his tall figure leisurely relaxed as he spoke.
"No need to go. I've already requested leave for you, Qin Li has approved it," he said.
"What?" Lin Mian paused in grabbing her clothes, widening her eyes at him. How could he just take it upon himself to request leave for her without her consent?
"You have viral flu and residual virus in your body. To prevent infecting others, follow the doctor's orders and rest for a day," Shi Lin said calmly.
Looking at him strangely, Lin Mian asked, "Then why were you so close to me yesterday?"
Shi Lin's expression remained calm as he said, "That's why I also need to rest for a day."
Lin Mian was speechless. Shi Lin watched her reaction, a faint smile playing on his lips. He had taken antiviral medicine the night before, so he didn't hesitate to kiss her. For him, a kiss was just a kiss, and he wouldn't be foolish enough to let himself contract any virus.
But seeing Lin Mian looking even more melancholic, with a hesitant expression on her face, Shi Lin raised an eyebrow and asked, "What's wrong, are you so unhappy about getting time off?"
Lin Mian sighed in conflict, "Taking sick leave means losing half a day's pay."
Shi Lin glanced at her indifferently, "When you transferred fifty thousand to me the other day, you didn't seem reluctant."
Lowering her head, Lin Mian replied, "That's different."
She sighed again, realizing she couldn't explain it to him, so she decided not to say anything.
With some ingredients in the refrigerator, she felt hungry after going without food all night and started to feel a faint pain in her empty stomach. Lin Mian walked past Shi Lin, heading to the kitchen to make some breakfast.
As she passed by him, her wrist was suddenly grabbed, and she was pulled into his arms. His long and strong arms wrapped around her waist, and his distinct and refined features enlarged as he leaned in closer to her nose.
Wide-eyed with alarm, Lin Mian asked, "What are you doing?"
"Taking care of you all night last night was exhausting. I deserve a little reward," he said as his kiss descended without any explanation.
Lin Mian tried to struggle but was held firmly in his arms, unable to move, so she could only tilt her face upwards and let him kiss her.
His kiss was still forceful, not giving her a chance to catch her breath. His cool breath carried a hint of bitterness as it passed into her mouth.
Lin Mian, feeling dazed, tasted the familiar flavor of the medication. He had indeed taken preventive medicine before daring to kiss her so boldly.
Time Lin's kissing skills were surprisingly good, and she had absolutely no resistance experience. Coupled with her foggy head, she was completely defenseless in front of him. Finally, when it ended, Lin Mian's legs went weak, almost unable to stand. In the room, there were only the heavy breathing of the two, as the man's hand passed beneath the hem of her nightdress, slowly moving upwards... Lin Mian felt as if she had been shocked, pushing him away reflexively. "Don't go too far..." The woman's wet eyes glared at him like a fierce, prowling beast. "Don't think that just because I kindly took care of you all night, I'm some kind person?" Time Lin's tone was mocking, his gaze piercing, like a predator fixated on a long-awaited prey. "Lin Mian, I have never been a good person, and I don't like doing things without expecting anything in return. I'll say it again, I am interested in you. I will continue to pursue you, kiss you, and even sleep with you..." Crazy! Lin Mian's chest heaved violently at his words. Any trace of gratitude that had once existed in her heart was completely gone!
She really had him figured out too politely and civilized!
Wearing the facade of a doctor, doing paranoid and crazy things.
It's really absurd.
Lin Mian tried to go around him to leave, but was grabbed by the wrist and pushed down on the bed by Shi Lin, who then picked up the phone from the bedside table and tossed it into her lap.
"Someone called you yesterday."
"Who?"
"1367849..."
Shi Lin calmly recited a string of numbers.
Upon hearing those numbers, Lin Mian's face immediately turned extremely ugly.
She held down the power button on the phone, and sure enough, a bunch of missed calls and a flood of text messages popped up. The language was unbearable to look at, and she glanced at it before closing it, afraid of being seen by Shi Lin.
Shi Lin didn't even look at the screen, only staring at her increasingly pale and ugly face. He spoke in a detached tone.
"You can sell a person for fifty thousand, you're quite cheap You're quite cheap
