"Don't...don't call the police, President Li...it's me."
"Yang Chen?"
Li Yu leaned down to look, and indeed it was Yang Chen curled up and hiding inside.
"Why are you hiding in there?"
"I...how am I hiding in there...I, I..."
Yang Chen stammered in his haste, his demeanor exactly like his foolish self in the past.
Seeing him like this, Li Yu mused, "Could he be having an episode again?"
Fearing she might agitate Yang Chen, she cautiously asked, "Are you...playing hide-and-seek?"
"Yes...yes!"
Yang Chen, who couldn't find an excuse, immediately went along with it. He blinked rapidly, forcing out a few tears, and pretended to be scared, saying, "President Li, it was so dark and no one was looking for me...I was so scared!"
"Silly child, everyone already left work. Who would still play hide-and-seek with you? Come out quickly!"
"Okay."
Yang Chen crawled out from under the desk, his legs bent. As he suddenly stood up, not wanting to have been squatting inside for so long, his legs went numb, and he stumbled forward.
"Careful!"
Li Yu shrieked, trying to help him up, but with Yang Chen's 160-plus jin body, there was no way she could support him. Instead, Yang Chen lunged and knocked her to the ground.
"This feel..."
Afraid of crushing Li Yu, Yang Chen tried to push himself up with his hands. It was only then that he noticed his large hands were resting on the peaks of Li Yu's chest.
So big!
So springy!
"Yang Chen, you... get up quickly!"
Li Yu's scream jolted Yang Chen out of his reverie. He quickly scrambled off Li Yu, worried she would blame him. Trembling, he stammered, "President Li, don't hit me...don't hit me, I didn't mean to fall on you..."
Li Yu's face was flushed crimson, but seeing his expression on the verge of tears, like a child who had done something wrong, she quickly comforted him, "No... I won't hit you, don't cry!"
"Really?"
"I'm not lying!"
"Pinky promise."
Li Yu, both amused and exasperated, extended her pinky finger and hooked it with Yang Chen's.
"Now you believe me... Don't cry. Weren't you attending Elder Chu's birthday banquet with Chu Xiang tonight? Why are you back at the company?"
"After...after attending, Miss Chu had someone send me back to the company."
Yang Chen dared not say he drove back himself, or that would give him away.
"It was so dark here... I was so scared, so I... I hid under the table."
Li Yu slapped her forehead, thinking, "I didn't tell Chu Xiang about Yang Chen's condition. She doesn't know Yang Chen's mental state is unstable, and doesn't know he can't find his way home after dark."
"Don't be scared... don't be scared..."
Li Yu felt a pang of guilt. Without any hesitation, she hugged Yang Chen to comfort him, saying, "It's all my fault for letting you be wronged at the company. Don't be scared... don't be scared."
In her eyes at this moment, Yang Chen was a child with immature intellect. But Yang Chen was different; he was a normal man.
Now, as she held him in her arms, his head rested on her towering breasts. Smelling her faint fragrance, he instantly became aroused and trembled nervously.
Li Yu, believing he was still scared, hugged Yang Chen even tighter.
"It's too late... I'll take you home... Never mind, it's probably too late for your dad to be awake. Will you come home with me?"
"Okay...okay!"
With his head cradled in this soft comfort, Yang Chen agreed to everything Li Yu said without thinking.
...
Sitting in the passenger seat, Yang Chen's excited mood began to calm down.
"You lie down and get some sleep first. I'll wake you when we get home."
"Mm."
Yang Chen reclined the seat and closed his eyes to rest, reviewing the "Xiantian Dao Fa" in his mind, lest he start fantasizing again.
"The scriptures in my mind clearly originate from the Qiankun Bead, but these scriptures don't seem to be complete."
"Legend has it that gathering five Qiankun Beads can change one's fate. Could it be that it can help me learn the 'Xiantian Dao Fa' completely?"
"The portion of 'Xiantian Dao Fa' I have now contains cultivation techniques for Qi refining, combat skills like 'Nine Heavens Star Fist', and even medicine,蛊, and astrology... it's all-encompassing and boundless!"
"If I could truly learn the complete 'Xiantian Dao Fa', it's possible I could even embark on the path of cultivation!"
Thinking of this, Yang Chen felt a surge of excitement. But then he thought, "Now is not the time to be happy. Although Hei Zi was beaten into a stupor by me, Lao Ya escaped. The people from San Zu Wu will definitely not let this go. I need to be careful and guarded when I go out from now on!"
...
Half an hour later, they arrived at Li Yu's apartment.
"Come in."
As soon as he entered, he was greeted by a sea of pink everywhere: pink walls, pink furniture, a pink bed, pink bedsheets, and a pink Hello Kitty doll half a meter tall by the bedside.
Such a girlish heart!
Yang Chen was dumbfounded. Li Yu's home was filled with a girlish aesthetic, which was completely inconsistent with her mature, boss-like demeanor at the company.
What surprised Yang Chen the most, however, was that Li Yu lived in such a small apartment.
"President Li can afford to run an auction house, so she shouldn't be short on money. Why is she renting such a small place?"
But now, his role was that of a frightened idiot, so Yang Chen didn't dare to ask.
"I don't have any spare slippers at home, so you can wear mine for now."
Li Yu bent down and took out a pair of pink cotton slippers from the floor. She was wearing a loose t-shirt, and from Yang Chen's angle, he could clearly see the deep cleavage.
Deadly!
Afraid he would get another nosebleed, Yang Chen quickly put on the slippers and walked to the bed to sit down.
Creak...
Li Yu pulled a curtain across, separating them.
"Yang Chen, sit here for a while. Make yourself at home, don't be shy... I'll change into my pajamas."
The curtain was light and thin. Under the lamplight, Li Yu's silhouette on the other side was faintly visible, making Yang Chen stare.
Li Yu heard no response. She poked her head out from behind the curtain and, seeing Yang Chen's dazed expression, asked with a smile, "I'm talking to you, why aren't you answering me?"
"I...I..."
Under pressure, Yang Chen blurted out his true feelings, "President Li, you're so beautiful!"
After saying it, Yang Chen wanted to slap himself. Saying that would be like telling Li Yu his eyes were being dishonest.
Unexpectedly, Li Yu didn't get angry. Instead, she burst into laughter, "Silly boy, what do you know about beauty?"
"Of course I know!"
Yang Chen quickly said, "The actresses on TV are very beautiful... but none of them are even one ten-thousandth as beautiful as you!"
Women, from the age of eight to eighty, all love to have their appearance praised. Li Yu was no exception.
Especially since she thought Yang Chen had the mental capacity of a seven-year-old, his words were bound to be sincere. She laughed so hard that her eyes turned into crescent moons.
Creak...
The curtain was pulled back. Li Yu emerged, having changed into a loose-fitting pink pajama set that covered her upper body's graceful curves. Her fair, slender legs, however, were fully exposed.
Gulp!
Li Yu had seen Yang Chen's long legs before when she wore black stockings, but now, her unadorned legs displayed a different kind of allure, making Yang Chen involuntarily swallow.
"Stand up for a moment, I'll tidy the bedsheets."
"Oh."
Yang Chen's eyes were fixated on Li Yu's legs. Mechanically, he stood up, tripped over the Hello Kitty doll, and lunged forward, directly knocking Li Yu onto the bed.
The most fortunate thing was that this time, he buried his head directly into her deep cleavage.
"So fragrant, so soft!"
Li Yu was only wearing pajamas, and she was not wearing a bra underneath. The sensation was completely different from last time, immediately intoxicating Yang Chen, making him unable to extricate himself.
"Yang Chen, you... get up quickly..."
This time, Yang Chen was unwilling to leave this haven of softness. With a blissful expression, he said, "President Li, I want a hug. My mom used to hug me like this... She hasn't hugged me in a long time!"
Li Yu knew about Zhang Suqin's brain tumor and that she had been in a coma for a long time. Yang Chen's words struck a chord of empathy within her.
"Forget it, he's just a child of seven or eight. He won't have any impure thoughts."
Li Yu reached out and hugged Yang Chen's head, resting her chin on his head, and said pityingly, "Okay... okay, I'll hug you... Good boy, close your eyes and get some good sleep."
OMG!
Yang Chen became even more excited. If not for the sliver of rationality he still possessed, he would have eagerly attacked her right there and then.
"No... no, I'm already taking advantage of President Li by doing this secretly, which is really unfair to her..."
"Hold on, you must hold on!"
