Gripped by Qi Bin, Huang Lin’s expression instantly turned somewhat unnatural, yet she still said, "Thank you for your concern, Chairman, I..."
Before she could finish, Qi Bin interrupted her, "Xiao Lin, you’ve been by my side for almost three years, right?"
Huang Lin’s lips moved slightly, her complexion becoming more rigid.
Qi Bin adjusted his posture to face Huang Lin, holding her small hand tightly, unwilling to let go, and said earnestly, "Xiao Lin, you’ve been with me for such a long time, always taking care of me devotedly, serving me, bringing me tea, pouring me water. I truly appreciate it."
"Chairman, serving you is my duty, it’s also my job, you don’t need to thank me for anything," Huang Lin could only respond so.
"No! It may mean nothing to you, but to me, it’s a great blessing from heaven!"
Qi Bin gazed steadily at Huang Lin’s beautiful face, saying seriously, "Moreover, as a young girl in your twenties, there’s no need to stay by an old man like me, taking care of me, let alone fulfilling my excessive, perverse desires. This is not something you should do! Xiao Lin, I feel like I owe you too much, I should compensate you better."
Huang Lin’s heart trembled, she quickly shook her head, "No need... Chairman, I mean, you’ve been good enough to me! No need for further compensation."
"No! Compensation is necessary. What I’ve said, I will definitely execute!"
Qi Bin raised his eyebrows, speaking in an undeniable tone, "Xiao Lin, I’ve made up my mind. I want you to marry me, I will give you a legitimate title, and also transfer ten percent of the shares of Tianlong Group to you! How about it, agree to be my woman?"
At this moment, Huang Lin’s face finally changed color drastically, she shook her head desperately, urgently saying, "Chairman! I... I’m not worthy of you doing all this, you don’t have to do this because of me..."
Qi Bin’s eyes twinkled, showing a faint smile on his lips, he grabbed Huang Lin’s two pale arms, stood up earnestly saying, "Xiao Lin, you think it’s not worth it? But I think it very much is! Are you thinking I’m joking? I’ll tell you, I’m very serious, and sincerely want to marry you. Just agree, and you can become the lady of the Qi family and Tianlong Group!"
With these words, Huang Lin’s mood grew even more flustered.
In her past view, her ultimate destiny seemed to be agreeing to become Qi Bin’s wife!
If it was a month ago, she would likely consider this; after all, her fate has long been in the control of the man before her, leaving her no room for resistance, her only choice is to submit!
But now, she extremely doesn’t want to make this choice, striving to escape Qi Bin’s controlling grasp. Because now she already has someone she likes, apart from that man in her heart, she doesn’t want to marry anyone, not even Qi Bin, who has controlled her for three years.
"Chair... Chairman, this matter is of great importance, I’m not quite prepared yet... Could you let me think a bit more?"
Huang Lin hurriedly said, she didn’t dare directly reject Qi Bin, she could only try to delay as much as possible.
"Hmm? Still need to think? Do you not want to marry me?" Qi Bin’s eyes squinted slightly.
"No... It’s not that!"
"Alright, I’ll give you a few days to think it over! But for now, it won’t delay us getting things done..."
Qi Bin’s eyes gleamed with lust, licking his plump lips, smiling evilly, "Little Linlin dear, come here and keep me good company! I’ve missed you so much all these days I’ve not added you!"
After speaking, Qi Bin rounded the desk, suddenly pounced forward to hug Huang Lin, lifting his mouth toward her face.
"Chairman, you... you shouldn’t do this! I’m a bit unwell today, maybe another day..."
"Chairman, this is an office, what if someone..."
Huang Lin’s small face turned pale, shouting while struggling, twisting her body incessantly, attempting to resist Qi Bin’s invasion.
However, Huang Lin’s struggle didn’t make Qi Bin stop, instead, it further stimulated his animalistic urges!
"Hmph! This is my office, without my command, who would dare come in?"
Qi Bin snorted coldly, pressed downward forcefully, suddenly throwing Huang Lin onto the desk.
Then, raising his claws, he attempted to tear off her clothes, preparing for in-depth development!
At this moment, a series of intense knocks came forth, interrupting the two inside the room.
Huang Lin immediately saw hope, hastily shouting, "Chairman, someone’s here, stop now!"
Qi Bin locked his eyebrows, cursing inwardly, feeling quite unhappy.
Earlier he boasted no interruptions, only for someone to knock now, wasn’t this a slap to his face?
Though unwilling, he had no choice, his mind was set on ensuring whoever interrupts without cause would face consequence!
"Xiao Lin, go and open the door!"
Despite his reluctance, Qi Bin had to stop now, supporting Huang Lin up, speaking softly.
More important than fleeting pleasure was maintaining his positive image in front of outsiders!
Huang Lin hurriedly stood up, fixing her clothes briefly, then ran to open the door eagerly like a reprieve.
The office door opened, a suited man in his thirties entered briskly, looking a bit anxious, glancing around the office, his gaze landing on Huang Lin.
"Secretary Huang, please step out, I have urgent matters to discuss with the Chairman!" The man spoke coolly.
On hearing this, Huang Lin felt relieved, knowing she’d been saved.
"Mr. Qi, understood!"
She promptly replied, then left the office, shutting the door behind herself.
"Yu’er, what brings you here?" Qi Bin looked at the suited man, curiously asking.
Unexpectedly, the one who interrupted his good deed was his own son, Qi Baiyu!
"Dad, have you heard about the recent Jade Pearl Nightclub incident?" Qi Baiyu walked forward briskly, asking straightforwardly.
"Of course, with such a big incident, I’ve heard about it!"
Qi Bin furrowed his brows deeply, speaking coldly, "To be frank, this is all your doing, getting caught with evidence by the police, such a large den was raided."
"I indeed am to blame for this, didn’t see how incompetent Xie Wending was, easily falling for their schemes, not only losing the Jade Pearl Nightclub but implicating our entire Qi family! The loss is enormous, just thinking about it enrages me, killing him is too easy."
Qi Baiyu looked full of vexation, speaking murderously.
Then, appearing worried, he muttered to himself:
"If the police really suspect and trace this back to the Qi family, it would be a major problem..."
