What a villainous capitalist! He was greedy and insatiable!
Once he saw a chance, he would enslave her.
However, there were no updates from Lombardi’s team, so she was forced to cautiously service her
big paymaster.
Nian Xiaomu rolled her eyes and walked to the back of his seat. She was about to reach out to massage the temples at the sides his head when her wrist was suddenly grabbed by Yu Yuehan.
His hand felt warm.
His big hand easily engulfed her small hand. At the angle that she was looking down from, his long and slender fingers were so beautiful that she could not bear to fling his hand away.
Nian Xiaomu was trapped in a trance.
For a long while, she kept staring at the hand that was holding hers.
Her throat turned dry, and she could not help but swallow some saliva.
Then, she saw that he was placing her hand on his shoulder.
My shoulders ache. Help me massage my shoulders.
Nian Xiaomu:
…
So it was just about massaging his shoulders. He could have just said it.
Why did he touch her hand for no good reason?
Was a goddess’s hand for just anyone to touch?
She was so riled up that she almost wanted to ask him if he liked her!
Nian Xiaomu kept grumbling in her heart.
The study room was very quiet with just the two of them.
A light breeze swept past the window sill. The curtains swayed to the side, revealing the remnants of the sunset.
The orange evening rays fell onto his perfect face and outlined the alluring profile of the man.
The tip of his nose cast a shadow, making his outstanding features even more three-dimensional.
Under the light, it was tempting to reach out to stroke the fine hairs that were standing up…
Yu Yuehan’s eyes were closed, and his whole body was very relaxed.
He did not notice that someone had been looking so intently at him that she had forgotten what she was supposed to be doing.
There were only the breathing sounds of the two of them in the study room.
After some time had passed, Yu Yuehan finally realized that something was wrong. He opened his eyes and looked to his side.
As the two pairs of eyes met, Nian Xiaomu, who had been secretly looking at him, felt a surge of panic strike her internally!
In agitation, Nian reached out and covered his eyes with her hands!
When she realized what she had done, she quickly pulled her hands away and stumbled backward in shock.
Raising both arms, she exclaimed,
Young Master, I did not do it on purpose… You suddenly turned around to look at me, so I got startled by you…
Yu Yuehan:
…
He had only turned to look at her. What had she done to react so guiltily?
Yu Yuehan looked at her with great suspicion.
Ring!
The sudden ringing of a cell phone broke the awkward atmosphere between the two of them.
Hearing the phone go off, Nian Xiaomu leaned over and asked,
Did you receive news about Lombardi, Young Master?
…
Yu Yuehan’s eyes narrowed as he answered the call and turned set it to speaker mode.
The voice on the other end of the call sounded very respectful.
Master Han, it’s already in the news that the people from Lombardi’s work studio have been infected with mass food poisoning. There are many reporters at the hospital, and it was not easy for me to reach Lombardi’s team. However, I was told that Mr. Lombardi had already sent word to the design department of the Yu Corporation to explain the current situation.
Hearing this, Yu Yuehan’s eyes turned toward Nian Xiaomu.
Shaking her head wildly, Nian Xiaomu exclaimed,
No way! We did not get any updates!
If the design department had gotten ahold of this information, they would not have looked for her so frantically today.
Lombardi had already contacted them yesterday, yet they still had not received word until today. What had actually happened during this process?
How is Mr. Lombardi’s condition now? Can I speak to him for a moment?
Nian Xiaomu grabbed Yu Yuehan anxiously and pulled the phone toward herself.
Those slender fingers were holding his hand tightly…
