Ouyang Hao looked closely and realized it was a resignation letter. His face immediately changed, "You want to resign?"
Lin Yixun lowered her eyes and nodded.
"Why do you want to resign? Is it because I don’t pay you enough?"
"No, Mr. Ouyang, the salary you give me is already high enough. My decision to resign is not because of that."
"Then why?" Suddenly, Ouyang Hao’s smile disappeared, and he frowned, "Is it because of your mother’s health..."
"My mother’s health is fine." She had just spoken with Lin’s mother on the phone. Seeing that Ouyang Hao wanted to ask more, Lin Yixun quietly said, "I just feel I’m not quite suitable for this job."
Hearing this, Ouyang Hao’s face suddenly turned cold, and his eyes became sharp, "Not suitable? You just don’t want to work for me, do you?"
Ouyang Hao thought he had never been harsh with Lin Yixun, treating her even better than he did the Empress Dowager at home. Yet here she was, saying the job wasn’t suitable for her?
What an ungrateful wretch.
Lin Yixun could see Ouyang Hao’s face becoming increasingly gloomy, clearly furious. This might be the last time she saw Ouyang Hao; even if she had to bury her unrealistic hopes deep down, she still didn’t want to end things on a bad note with him.
"Mr. Ouyang, if there’s nothing else, I’ll go in first." Over the years, her pride had been worn down to nothing, leaving only timidity.
But Ouyang Hao didn’t give Lin Yixun a chance to escape. As she turned to leave, he reached out and grabbed her wrist.
"Lin Yixun, what am I to you in your heart?"
Lin Yixun’s heart trembled slightly. Ouyang Hao’s question struck right at her heart. What was he in her heart, exactly?
She had tried hard to keep him out of her heart, but at the moment of turning to leave, a prick of pain surged from the bottom of her heart.
She suppressed the turmoil in her heart, looked up at the man before her, and suddenly smiled sweetly, "In my heart, Mr. Ouyang is my boss, my benefactor."
"Boss? Benefactor?" Ouyang Hao laughed coldly. His grip tightened, almost crushing Lin Yixun’s bones.
Suddenly, he yanked her, pinning Lin Yixun against the cold wall at the doorway. He looked down at her and angrily said, "But Lin Yixun, I don’t want to be a boss or a benefactor!"
They were so close that Lin Yixun could clearly feel the man’s warmth. Ouyang Hao’s gaze, glued to her face, carried a multitude of emotions, leaving her at a loss.
Lin Yixun turned her face away, trying to push Ouyang Hao away, wanting to escape, but how could Ouyang Hao let her? Her cheeks were suddenly cupped tightly by his large hands, and the next moment, his domineering presence overwhelmed her.
This wasn’t the first time, but it was entirely different from before.
In the past, Ouyang Hao kissed her out of teasing and mockery. But this time, there was a compelling force, mixed with gentleness. That gentleness could make any girl in the world fall for him, and Lin Yixun almost got lost in it.
After a long while, he finally let her go, his forehead pressed against hers, gazing deeply at her, and softly asked, "Lin Yixun, can you feel my heart?"
Can you feel my heart?
Ouyang Hao’s words were like a gale, causing waves of turmoil in Lin Yixun’s heart. She stared at the man before her in a daze, struggling to maintain her calm facade while her heart trembled uncontrollably.
But in the next moment, her pretense was completely shattered by his words.
"Lin Yixun, I like you!"
