"I disagree."
Shen Huai's voice was so cold that there was no warmth at all.
He pulled hard and pulled Lin Yeman to his side.
He held her waist domineeringly, took the playing cards in her hand with his other hand, lowered his head, and kissed her.
The soft touch, with a hint of perfume, instantly spreads between the lips and teeth.
Lin Yeman's body visibly stiffened.
She never expected that Shen Huai would come out of the blue like this.
Everyone else present was also shocked, their eyes widened and their mouths opened wide enough to fit an egg in.
"Mr. Shen, you..." Yuanyuan reacted first and stammered, "This, this is not good, right?"
"The rules of the game, who says it can't be done? Substitute?" Shen Huai raised his eyebrows with a hint of provocation.
He let go of Lin Yeman, threw the playing cards on the table, and said with a playful smile: "What's more, how can someone else do the punishment for Director Lin?"
Time seems to be here. There was stillness for a moment.
There was silence in the villa, and you could hear a needle drop.
Everyone's eyes widened and their mouths opened in an "O" shape, as if they had seen some incredible sight.
Shen Huai's kiss was overbearing and gentle, with a hint of punishment mixed with a strong sense of possessiveness.
Lin Yeman's mind went blank. She even forgot to struggle and just passively endured the sudden kiss.
The tie slipped off, and light flooded into Lin Yeman's field of vision again.
She saw Shen Huai's handsome face close at hand, and the deep emotions in his eyes, which were too complicated for her to decipher.
The surrounding air seemed to have solidified, and it was eerily quiet.
After a few seconds, Yuanyuan reacted and let out an exaggerated scream: "Oh my God! Mr. Shen, you...you..."
Others also came to their senses one after another, and the comments and exclamations started again, like a pot exploding.
"Mr. Shen, didn't you say you are not interested in Director Lin?" A male colleague asked boldly, with a hint of ridicule in his tone.
Shen Huai let go of Lin Yeman and raised an evil smile on his lips: "When did I say that?"
Lin Yeman's cheeks were flushed and his heartbeat was beating like a drum.
She glared at Shen Huai fiercely, but found that there was not much blame in her eyes, but a hint of... sweetness?
"Okay, the game is over!"
Shen Huai announced, then took Lin Yeman's hand and walked out of the villa, "You continue to play, I have something to talk to Director Lin alone."
Everyone was left looking at each other and talking about it.
"It seems that there is really something going on between Mr. Shen and Director Lin..."
"Let me just say, how can there be no spark between a talented man and a beautiful woman!"
"Do you think Director Lin came here because of love?"
"Hey, when you say that, it's very possible~"
Su Meng, Luo Xiaoya The three of them sat in the corner with Liu Shishi, holding wine glasses in their hands, but they couldn't take a sip. Their eyes drifted to the door of the villa from time to time, their eyes complicated and difficult to distinguish.
The scene just now, like the slow motion of a movie, played over and over again in their minds.
Shen Huai's domineering kiss, Lin Yeman's shy expression, and the indescribable ambiguous atmosphere between the two deeply hurt their eyes.
Su Meng held the wine glass tightly, her knuckles turned white.
She always thought that she was Shen Huai's first love and the one who was most likely to get together.
But now, she has woken up.
Now there is an insurmountable gap between him and Shen Huai.
Luo Xiaoya’s face was also ugly.
She always felt that she was the proud daughter of heaven and the object of all men's dreams.
But now, she realized that in Shen Huai's eyes, she had long been a thing of the past. Liu Shishi stood aside, surprisingly quiet.
She held a glass of champagne in her hand, and the golden liquid shone under the light, reflecting the complex light in her eyes.
She did not make a fuss like others, nor did she show obvious disappointment like Su Meng and Luo Xiaoya.
Her eyes were calm, even with a hint of relief.
"Shishi, you...are you not surprised?" Su Meng asked cautiously, for fear of touching her sensitive nerves.
Liu Shishi took a sip of champagne, with a faint smile on her lips: "Why are you surprised? Isn't this expected?"
Su Meng and Luo Xiao Ya looked at each other and saw doubts in the other's eyes.
“Director Lin is so good, isn’t it normal for Mr. Shen to like her?”
Liu Shishi put down her wine glass, her tone as calm as if she was talking about today's weather, "Didn't you notice? The way Director Lin looks at Mr. Shen is different from us."
Su Meng and Luo Xiaoya Stunned.
They carefully recalled every moment of this period.
The way Lin Yeman looked at Shen Huai and the way Shen Huai responded were different from them.
Their eyes were full of desire and ambition, but Lin Yeman's eyes were more like...appreciation?
Or rather...a close contest.
Thinking of this, Su Meng suddenly laughed at herself.
She actually naively thought that she still had a chance.
But now it seems that she is like a clown, self-righteously speculating on other people's thoughts, but in the end she finds that she is the stupidest person.
She lost, completely.
Not only did he lose to Lin Yeman, he also lost to his own self-righteousness.
“Actually, Director Lin has taken good care of me during this period,”
Liu Shishi broke the silence with a hint of gratitude in her tone, “She taught me a lot of things and introduced me to She has met many big names in the industry. She...she is really an outstanding woman."
Both Su Meng and Luo Xiaoya understood what Liu Shishi meant.
Since this period of time, due to company projects, Liu Shishi, as the secretary to the chairman, has often been busy behind Lin Yeman.
Lin Yeman indeed took special care of Liu Shishi.
Not only did he give her a lot of guidance at work, but he also often took her to various important occasions, giving her the opportunity to have access to higher-level human resources.
She saw a broader sky, a world she might never see in her lifetime working in the new media department.
Liu Shishi is very clear.
Her disappointment at this moment was not because of jealousy, but because she clearly recognized the gap between herself and Lin Yeman.
She knew that no matter how hard she tried, she could never reach Lin Yeman's height.
This gap is not in ability, but in structure, vision, and the kind of confidence and calmness that emanates from the bones.
She was convinced of her defeat.
......
Shen Huai pulled Lin Yeman to a secluded corner, with a hint of dissatisfaction in his tone: "Were you testing me on purpose just now?"
Lin Yeman raised his eyebrows and asked, "What? Are you jealous?"
Shen Huai did not deny it. He pulled Lin Yeman into his arms, held her tightly, and whispered in her ear Whisper: "Lin Yeman, you are playing with fire."
Lin Yeman did not struggle, but instead put his hand around Shen Huai's waist, raised his head, and blew gently into his ear: "I like to play with fire, are you afraid?"
< br>Shen Huai's eyes instantly turned dark.
He lowered his head and kissed Lin Yeman's lips. The kiss was more passionate and domineering than before, as if he wanted to swallow her whole body.
Lin Yeman also responded enthusiastically.
Like a blooming poppy flower, it exudes a fatal temptation that makes Shen Huai unable to stop. (End of this chapter)
