Pei Yucheng didn’t press on. He merely nodded. “If you need any help, you can tell me.”
“By doing so, I would be skipping levels to look for the biggest boss… Isn’t that quite… inappropriate?” Lin Yan asked, looking a little hesitant.
Pei Yucheng grinned at her. “It’s indeed inappropriate to go to your boss, but it isn’t if you look for your boyfriend.”
Lin Yan almost fell off her chair in fright as she coughed violently.
It had only been a few minutes, yet she had almost been seduced by him. She’d even suggested spending an entire night together.
How could she dare to do so?
Lin Yan breathed deeply to calm her pounding tiny heart and steered the conversation out of dangerous waters. “Erm… Oh yeah! Did you get Ling Yue to look for me? I heard that she used to be the boss of Summit Entertainment. How could such a powerful person be my assistant? Isn’t that a waste of her talent?”
Pei Yucheng answered airily, “You don’t have to feel burdened. She has the liberty of choosing what she wants to do.”
In that case, did Ling Yue wish to be her assistant?
Although she had helped Ling Yue, she had merely helped put in a good word for her. She had done nothing to warrant such a huge compensation.
…
Initially, Lin Yan had been worried that the conversation would get awkward at some point in time. In the end, they had a casual, lighthearted conversation. Pei Yucheng would come up with a topic that interested her at appropriate times.
Unconsciously, two hours flew by in no time.
The bulk of the conversation was mainly Pei Yucheng showering her with concern. Lin Yan, who felt that she was duty-bound to do the same, asked, “Mr. Pei, how has your health been lately?”
Pei Yucheng adjusted the silver watch on his wrist out of habit. “I’m fine.”
“Even so, you have to be careful. Don’t go to sleep too late. You have to sleep early and get enough rest,” Lin Yan reminded him.
Pei Yucheng, who was settled comfortably on the couch, raised an eyebrow and peered at Lin Yan. “It’s fine to stay up late occasionally.”
Lin Yan suddenly thought back to what she had blurted out about chatting with him the entire night. Her heart leaped wildly as she blushed furiously.
She did not wish to stay with him the entire night!
“Rest early. Good night.” Pei Yucheng rose agilely as he caressed the girl’s hair.
“Goodnight…”
Lin Yan watched with a conflicted expression as Pei Yucheng stood up.
Seconds later, she called out to Pei Yucheng before he could reach the door. “Hold… Hold on!”
Pei Yucheng halted in his tracks. “Yes?”
Lin Yan scampered over to Pei Yucheng and scratched her head awkwardly. After a moment of hesitation, she swiftly tip-toed over and kissed his cheek.
Pei Yucheng’s eyes widened in surprise as he felt a pair of feather-light lips on his skin.
Lin Yan coughed to clear her throat. “That was… a tip…”
Pei Yucheng let out a chuckle as he caressed the girl’s cheek gently with a long-fingered hand. Casually, he quipped, “A tip? You seem like a stingy customer…”
Lin Yan was left speechless… Had he just called her stingy?
Before Lin Yan could respond, Pei Yucheng lowered his back and pressed his lips against hers…
The kiss wasn’t a light, chaste peck like Lin Yan’s. Pei Yucheng held her chin and deepened the kiss with passion.
Nobody knew how long it lasted, but the kiss only ended when Lin Yan was out of breath…
She panted softly as a deep, hoarse voice rang in her ears. “Thank you for your patronage.”
