Lin Qing worked diligently though she was only a junior employee. She apologized to the leaders for being absent in the morning and got no heavy punishment since she was a first-time offender. Only a small amount of salary was deducted. Nothing more serious happened.
n.o.body should act as a n.o.body. Lin Qing thought she did well in keeping a low profile. A n.o.body like this should not make splashes to invite discussions by other staff.
However, days for Lin Qing as a n.o.body like this might come to an end.
After work, all but Lin Qing left. Lin Qing was always slow. Just like now, she picked things up slowly and went downstairs.
She felt something weird when she reached the second floor: people looked at her in an unusual way. Some even returned upstairs and followed her.
All these made her felt uneasy.
Lin Qing stopped when she stepped out of the hall and headed towards the bus station as usual.
An eye-catching red sports car parked outside, opposite to the building. A man had been leaning against the door of the car waiting for her for a long time. It was Mu Li.
He was handsome in his suits.
The expression on Mu Li"s face changed when he saw Lin Qing.
He opened the door of the car when Lin Qing was still far away from the car.
Discussions took place around Lin Qing at the same time.
Two women talked with each other.
"Is that Mu Li? He looks more handsome than the photo!"
"It seems that he was waiting for Lin Qing. But they seem to be totally a mismatch."
"It cannot be true. It is probably a coincidence. Commander Mu would by no means be with such an ordinary woman like Lin Qing."
"That makes sense. In that case, we still have chances."
It was good that the slowcoach Lin Qing didn"t hear these words. She just stood there, staring at Mu Li at a distance.
"Why are you here?" Lin Qing asked from a distance.
Actually, she did not intend to talk to Mu Li. She was just talking to herself. But Mu Li read her mouth and answered.
"I"m here to pick you up, of course." Mu Li said in a forceful tone.
His reply smashed the dreams of other girls.
Lin Qing stepped down and got into Mu Li"s car in front of all the staff.
She was just being picked up by a car. Why were people wearing a surprising look?
Mu Li helped her to fasten the safety belt.
"Surprised?" Mu Li asked.
"Yes," Lin Qing answered honestly.
That was what Mu Li wanted.
He started the car.
"Actually, I can go back myself," Lin Qing said.
"Aren"t you happy that I pick you up?" Mu Li frowned.
"No. It"s just not necessary. I can go back by myself. How can I ask others to pick me up," Lin Qing felt uneasy to be picked up by Mu Li.
Mu Li had expected the answer.
That was it. He was prepared for hearing this answer from Lin Qing.
Glancing at the astonished look of the staff outside the hall from the rear mirror, Mu Li thought that he would no longer be neglected by Lin Qing in future.
He turned around to see Lin Qing, who leaned against the window. She was kind of tired.
Mu Li guessed that Lin Qing would keep this posture until they got home.
He was right.
Lin Qing could sleep all the way.
The parking lot.
When Mu Li parked the car, Lin Qing was still asleep.
"Lin Qing, we are home," Mu Li said gently.
Lin Qing was not awakened.
"Lin Qing?" Mu Li said again and got even closer to her.
Once again, he failed to wake her up, only her eyelash moved slightly.
He had nothing to do with it.
Mu Li had to switch off the motor.
He got off, walked to the front pa.s.senger seat, opened the door and then picked Lin Qing up steadily.
It was now that Mu Li realized that Lin Qing was really light. Even though she looked thin, it made Mu Li"s heart ache holding her like this.
The sleeping Lin Qing moved against his chest, making some sound.
Mu Li"s heart was kind of swept by a breeze.
How to say that. He felt like that there were ripples and breezes in his heart.
Lin Qing woke up immediately after getting home.
"How..." Lin Qing woke up. She was at a loss when finding she was not on the car.
"What how? I carried you home. You are so heavy that I took a lot of effort," Mu Li sat on the couch with his legs crossed and complained.
"Really?" Lin Qing felt sorry, scratching her head.
But, hey, this was not the key message, ok?
Mu Li sighed.
"Yes are too heavy. My arms got dumb," he replied.
Mu Li showed his arms to Lin Qing while saying this.
After close examination, Lin Qing felt even guiltier.
"How about I ma.s.saging you?" Lin Qing asked carefully.
Seeing that Lin Qing really meant it, Mu Li did not refuse.
"Fine," he reached out his arms.
Lin Qing felt kind of awkward when ma.s.saging Mu Li. She soon got absent-minded and pinched him accidentally.
That pinch was nothing at all to Mu Li, but Lin Qing stopped still.
"Sorry, I got absent-minded..." Lin Qing apologized. ...She got absent-minded when ma.s.saging him?
Lin Qing got nervous at Mu Li"s silence.
"How about I cooking egg-tomato for you?" She decided.
She wanted to buy him with food?
"OK," Mu Li nodded.
Mu Li ate the egg only and Lin Qing ate up all the tomato.
After dinner, Lin Qing prepared some pitaya. Because Mu Li was not interested in fruit that had too many seeds, she ate it up.
She often ate fruit but when Mu Li asked about her favorite, she answered,
"I don"t know."
She cooked a lot as well, but when Mu Li asked about the same question, the answer was also
"I don"t know".
The placid light in her eyes convinced Mu Li that she meant it.
But these answers made Mu Li more interested in Lin Qing.
"Come to watch TV with me," Mu Li invited Lin Qing, patting the position next to him on the sofa.
"I want to take a shower and go to sleep," Lin Qing said.
Mu Li looked at the watch and nodded, "Go to my bedroom."
Lin Qing stepped back.
"Do I have to?" She turned around and asked carefully.
"Yes," Mu Li answered and switched the channel.
They had agreed on this last night. From today on, they would live in the same room because they had got married. They were married, and she had no reason to refuse.
But...
"Will you do something to me against my will?" Lin Qing asked in a low voice.
"What do you think?" Mu Li said, raising his eyebrows.
"I know you are a gentleman. I think you will respect my will," Lin Qin answered honestly with her face up.
Mu Li began to doubt whether Lin Qing mean to make him angry.
Lin Qing was nervous after finishing the shower. Mu Li was not in the living room. He was now sitting on the couch of the bedroom.
He was staring at the phone, a little bit absent-minded.
"Mu Li, I"m done..." Lin Qing stepped out of the bathroom in a bathrobe. There was water dripping from her hair.
With the soft voice, the scene was tempting for Mu Li.
But Lin Qing, the initiator, did not realize it at all.
"There was water dripping from your hair," Mu Li said.
"I know, but I cannot dry it with the towel," Lin Qing answered.
"But your robe got wet," Mu Li squinted and teased.
Lin Qing looked down and found that the robe in front of her chest was totally wet.
Her figure was highlighted.
"I...You go to take a shower," Lin Qing was nervous and she flushed. She even used the wrong subject "I".
Mu Li smiled and went to the bathroom.
Lin Qing felt even more embarra.s.sed when hearing the sound from the bathroom.
Mu Li didn"t find Lin Qing when he got out of the bathroom, but then he spotted something under the sheet.
Mu Li raised his eyebrows and lay on the bed.
"Lin Qing, you must be awake now. You sleep so much every day," Mu Li put his arms behind his neck.
"I am asleep," a m.u.f.fled voice came from under the quilt after a long time.
Mu Li smiled, "what if I do something to you after you fall asleep?"
"No, you will not." The person under the quilt was silent for a moment, and then revealed her head, "You won"t."
Her tone was so confident that Mu Li was stunned.
However, Mu Li suddenly turned around and approached her delicate face, "Are you sure?"
The exquisite fragrance from Lin Qing was tempting in the air.
"I"m a man. Sometimes things can get out of control," Mu Li further approached Lin Qing.
"Eh? But, you are Mu Li." At this moment, Lin Qing seemed to be afraid of nothing at all. Her big eyes flashed as she looked at him, "Because you are Mu Li, it"s impossible for you to do anything to me."
She was reasonable. At least she thought so.
But the tone was just...
too confident.
"You are wrong. Things can get out of control even if I am Mu Li," Mu Li held her cheek slightly.
He was flirted.
Lin Qing"s hands were on both sides of her body, shivering. But Mu Li cannot see it because Lin Qing was under the quilt, with only her head out.
The scene reminded her of what had happened last night.
That kiss...
Again?
The eyebrows of Lin Qing shook. Her crystal eyes added charm to her cheeks.
Mu Li approached her slowly with a deep gaze...
