Mo Qingyun stood at the hotel entrance, and Ou Yunchen saw her from afar.
As he approached, he slowed his steps, gently and softly... then from behind Mo Qingyun, he gave her a big hug.
At first, Mo Qingyun was startled, but Ou Yunchen kissed the little mute on the cheek several times, which made Mo Qingyun lower her guard.
Ou Yunchen: "Why didn't you wait for me in the lobby? Standing here, aren't you afraid of mosquito bites?"
Mo Qingyun's sign language: "If you were any slower, I'd bite you back for every mosquito bite I get!"
Ou Yunchen gently bit Mo Qingyun's cheek, soft and cool.
Ou Yunchen: "Bite like this?"
Mo Qingyun's sign language: "You're so annoying!!!"
Ou Yunchen: "It seems you don't like it, so let's try a different way of biting..."
With that, Ou Yunchen cupped Mo Qingyun's face, aimed for her lips, and kissed her earnestly.
In less than a few minutes, Mo Qingyun's legs went weak. Fortunately, Ou Yunchen was so focused on kissing that he didn't notice.
Ou Yunchen: "Your place or mine?"
Mo Qingyun's sign language: "Of course, I'll take you home, and then I'll go home."
Ou Yunchen smiled. Didn't this little dummy's weak legs just now suggest they should find a place to continue that feeling?
Ou Yunchen: "You take me home, do you think I can let you go home by yourself?"
Mo Qingyun's sign language: "But you've been drinking, I should take you first."
Ou Yunchen: "Let me stay at your place tonight, okay?"
Mo Qingyun quickly shook her head and waved her hands. Her home was a mess right now. If Ou Yunchen saw the unwashed clothes piled on the sofa, wouldn't she be utterly embarrassed?!
She absolutely would not let Ou Yunchen go to her home!!!
Ou Yunchen: "Then I guess..."
Ou Yunchen suddenly scooped up Mo Qingyun. She was so scared that her legs clamped around Ou Yunchen's waist, but this was exactly what he wanted.
Mo Qingyun's eyes widened as if asking what he was doing. Ou Yunchen raised his hand and hailed a taxi.
Now they sat side-by-side in the back seat. Ou Yunchen gave his home address, then he leaned close to Mo Qingyun's ear.
His low voice swept past, making Mo Qingyun tingle from her heart outwards. Her flushed cheeks were so cute.
Ou Yunchen: "You're sleeping at my place tonight..."
All the way, Mo Qingyun was quiet, her head resting on Ou Yunchen's shoulder. She was both nervous and excited.
Perhaps after tonight, their relationship would deepen. In a sense, Ou Yunchen would become her first man, and she hoped he would be her only one.
She began to fantasize about what that feeling would be like, how it would start and end. She had no experience, would she just have to lie there...
But as she thought about it, her body grew hot, and she buried her head even deeper.
The taxi finally stopped. Mo Qingyun nudged the man beside her, but there was no reaction...
When she looked up, she realized Ou Yunchen had fallen asleep at some point...
Mo Qingyun pinched Ou Yunchen's face hard, and he woke up in pain.
Ou Yunchen: "Hmm? We're here. Thank you, driver."
With that, Ou Yunchen opened the door and got out by himself. He seemed to have forgotten Mo Qingyun beside him...
When Mo Qingyun rushed to pay and got out to catch up with Ou Yunchen, she wished she could punch this scoundrel a few times.
But Ou Yunchen opened the building's main door and waited for Mo Qingyun, which made her unsure if he had genuinely forgotten or had deliberately avoided the payment!
Seeing Mo Qingyun catch up, Ou Yunchen slung an arm over her shoulder, muttering, "I can't... I'm dizzy."
Mo Qingyun had no choice but to act as the scoundrel's crutch, to prevent him from falling!
Finally, they reached the door of Ou Yunchen's apartment. As the door opened, Ou Yunchen called out to turn on the lights, and instantly everything in the room lit up.
Mo Qingyun's mouth hung open in disbelief at what she saw.
This was the first time she had seen a decor that was almost entirely black. The walls were painted black, but the lighting was used perfectly, and the high-tech appliances gave the house a modern feel.
Ou Yunchen: "I'm going to sleep now. I have a morning meeting tomorrow. That's your room."
With that, Ou Yunchen pushed Mo Qingyun towards the guest room, separated from his master bedroom by a wall.
Sleep separately?
Then all the things she had been imagining wouldn't happen?!
Mo Qingyun wanted to turn back and ask for clarification, but Ou Yunchen slammed the door shut, locking her inside.
Ou Yunchen shouted from outside the door: "Your bedroom has a private bathroom. I'm right next door. Call me if you need anything!!!"
Mo Qingyun was about to open the door, but she withdrew her hand. She gave a wry smile. Perhaps she had overthought things, and perhaps their relationship hadn't reached the point where they could sleep together...
Ou Yunchen returned to his bedroom and sat on the bed, recalling Cai Yadong's words at dinner.
Could Crystal be so familiar that one would clearly remember where they had seen her?
When he decided to use Crystal to replace Ruby, Ou Yunchen had carefully reviewed Crystal's resume.
Combined with her outstanding performance in recent days, Ou Yunchen indeed felt that this beautiful woman was suitable for the position.
Could he be overthinking it?
Did Xu Shuming really dare to send someone to monitor him?
It seemed that Crystal's clean resume might also be fabricated...
