As soon as she stepped out of the automatic door of the office building, Adelle saw Guo Yun standing next to his car. He seemed to be on the phone with someone as his mouth moved. When he noticed her, he waved his hand at her.
Adelle didn't want to disturb him and walked over to him. When she finally stood before him, she didn't make a sound. After a minute, Guo Yun finally hung up the call.
"Sorry, some employees forgot to submit their papers for tomorrow's meeting, " said Guo Yun. The company's speed in taking care of their business has not stopped because Song Yu Han chose to go on a long break from work. But it only made his time to be preoccupied most of the time since he is the big boss' right-hand man.
Guo Yun was already used to the intensity of his work and the demands of his job, but that was before he had met someone he wanted to be close with.
In the past, he had casual relationships with women, who had shown their interest in him. He didn't mind agreeing to date them because he thought that working and dating someone wouldn't make much of a difference in his life. Besides, his mother's request to have him introduce his girlfriend to her had bothered him so much.
In the end, none of those girls he had dated before would last long enough to meet his mother. They had the same complaints about him after breaking up with him. All of them were fed up with such a dull and monotonous relationship. It made them feel unloved.
Guo Yun tried his best to change, but it seems that his change was not enough as they still complain about having less time to spend with each other than working. He could understand their reasons and feelings. But he simply couldn't relate nor empathize with them.
Thus, Guo Yun wondered if he was worthy enough to be in a serious relationship.
In the end, he chose not to date someone for the rest of his life and focus all his attention on his job.
But that was until before the foreign woman that Ran Xueyi picked to become her new manager.
At first glance, she looked ordinary and taller than most women, but once you get a deeper look at her, she seemed to bloom like a flower in spring. Guo Yun found himself unconsciously drawn to her. He initially thought that he wanted to get closer to her because she was the manager of Song Yu Han's wife. However, he dumbfoundedly found out that he was wrong in his previous conception.
He was not curious about Adelle because she was Ran Xueyi's manager, he was unknowingly falling for her.
Once he realized his feelings, Guo Yun was perplexed. But in the next second, he didn't want to let go of this feeling.
He decided to pursue Adelle even though it was only subtle so he wouldn't scare her. But lately, he felt that there was a need to hasten things up.
Right at this moment, the woman that his heart had been calling out to was sitting on the passenger seat. A thirty-four year old man like him didn't know what to do. He seemed to have returned to the time when he was still a teenager who gets worked up at a swimsuit magazine.
Adelle had a tall figure, her legs were especially long and slender like a model's. Guo Yun suddenly wondered how nice it would feel to have his waist and hips wrapped around with that pair of legs…
"So, where are we heading?" Adelle, unbeknownst to his thoughts, shifted on her seat and turned to look at him.
Gripping his hand around the wheel, Guo Yun shook off the muddledness in his mind. He felt ashamed and disgusted that he had just thought of the woman he likes disrespectfully. Then, he cleared his throat, and replied, "My colleague went to this sushi restaurant. It opened a few months ago and they seemed to be popular in this area." When the traffic light turned red, he turned his head to look at her and said, "But if you're not able to eat anything raw, I can get you something else."
"No need. I am able to eat 'dishes' that are raw," Adelle shook her head and looked away, slightly embarrassed by their word choices.
[A/N: The word 'Raw' has two meanings/pronunciations in this context. One is the raw which is fresh and uncooked. And the second meaning is to have 'unprotected sex'. Guo Yun accidentally used the second one.]
Guo Yun didn't notice it at first, but when the traffic lights turned green and he was about to press on the gas, he finally found where the strangeness in his heart was coming from.
My God!
What have I done?!
He blamed his thoughts that had gone down the drain, which led him to say things that were too weird. Of course, if others were to hear it, they might not react much, especially those who are na?ve and innocent. But the two of them were adults and have more experience in that area…
Of course, both Guo Yun and Adelle could hear the subtle meaning in his words.
But…
That's not what he truly meant!
He was simply and innocently asking her, but it was all due to his stupid male hormones that made him confused for a second there.
"Uhm… are you possibly not dating anyone?" While Guo Yun was still agonizing in his mind, Adelle was not affected by what had happened that much. She even teasingly told him, "Don't be too embarrassed, it's possible for people who haven't been in a relationship to have an accident like that. Anyway, I don't have much of a preference for what I eat so you can worry less."
Guo Yun's eyes were filled with shame and terror. But his face paled when he heard her and he couldn't help but ask, "Was it too obvious?"
Adelle: "What is?"
"That I'm desperate and frustrated?"
Adelle: "Not really."
Guo Yun: "Then, how did you find out?"
The corners of her lips turned upward. Adelle turned her head to look away while the tips of her ears were slightly red, "You've been shaking your legs this whole time. And… I didn't really want to mention it but… your little brother seems to be awake."
As if he was struck by a thunder, Guo Yun's body froze instantly.
He slowly, like a broken puppet, looked downward to check whether his little brother was awake. He wore dark pants today that fit his thick and sturdy legs very well. Though there was a bulge from the center where his zipper was located, it didn't look abnormal. Rather, it looked extremely normal like any other men who had a slight bulge in their center.
He confirmed that his brother didn't rise from his slumber because of his indecent thoughts.
As Guo Yun was about to release a relieved sigh, he heard a rollicking laugh from the passenger seat.
Slowly, like an outdated film, images of his previous actions appeared in his eyes. Guo Yun realized what he had done just now.
Adelle covered her mouth with her hand and twisted in her seat as she tried to contain her laughter.
But in the end, she couldn't continue holding it back.
"Pfft!...Ha…Sorry! Hahaha!"
Guo Yun: "..."

Poisonlily has something to say:
I'm really sorry for being away for a whole month. I was depressed and burnt out after consecutive personal problems keep on appearing in my life. I could hardly write a word because of this and needed some time away from everything. Thankfully, I was able to solve them one by one, but I still haven't recovered my full strength so updating more chapters daily may not be possible for now.
Thank you for the readers who stayed and waited until now.
I love you all!
