Chapter 1159: Chapter 1163: You Want to Defy Me?
After she slowly sorted out her thoughts from beginning to end, she turned back to look at his completely naked body and asked, "Yao, isn’t this a company matter? How did it become me? Doesn’t the company’s advertising arm have a lot of candidates?" How had the spokesperson for the HDC520 series suddenly become her? Wasn’t the casting still ongoing? How could they have chosen her? She had no experience, and she wasn’t pretty.
"This is a decision from the top. You planning to defy it?" His gaze on Xia Qingqian carried a hint of chill, and his hands started to misbehave.
She sucked in a sharp breath. "No! That’s not what I mean. I just don’t really get it. Won’t a decision like this affect the company?"
She was genuinely worried that if she really became the spokesperson, it would drag down the company’s performance. Thinking of this, her clear eyes looked at him again, tinged with worry. "Yao, I know I’m not suitable. How about you pick someone else, okay?"
"This project is something Nancy has been following from the start. He’s the one who recommended you to me." He said it lightly, his gaze turning distant, but he didn’t let her see it. He wrapped her in his arms, making her face away from him.
If it hadn’t been for that particular name, he wouldn’t have made such a hasty decision, nor would he have rushed the launch date to tomorrow.
Nancy... Hearing that he was the one who had recommended her to the Young Master, a faint sourness surged up in her chest.
So this wasn’t the Young Master’s idea at all, but someone else’s...
Since it was Nancy’s idea, and he was also the planner, it meant she would have to face him tomorrow. Just thinking about how Qiao Zhenyu’s heart was with him, she still hadn’t figured out what kind of mindset she should have to face him. She was even a little cowardly about it!
"What are you thinking about?" He was somewhat displeased with her distraction, that she would even zone out; it made him feel very unhappy!
She snapped back to herself, let out a soft sigh, and only shook her head lightly without speaking. Her mood was rock-bottom right now. As long as she thought of Qiao Zhenyu, she truly felt like she couldn’t breathe; she had no idea what kind of attitude she should have when facing Nancy.
As her small head moved
...
His hands rested on her waist, holding her tightly, and the two of them fell asleep in time with each other’s breathing.
Only then did she let out a breath of relief and sink into a deep sleep, but in the middle of the night she woke up feeling uncomfortable all over, her whole body sticky. She wanted to get up and take a shower; maybe that would make her feel better.
With that thought, all her drowsiness vanished. But getting out of bed wasn’t easy. His hand was resting on her waist, holding her firmly. That made her hold her breath. She turned her head slightly to glance at him. Moonlight spilled in, casting over his features, making them seem a touch gentle.
Maybe it was because he was deeply asleep; the usually cool, aloof expression he wore day to day was slowly fading away, and that resolute profile softened, becoming almost unreal.
She sighed softly in her heart. She still couldn’t imagine that she would have any intersection with a man like this, and even more unexpected was that he turned out to be such an incredibly gentle man.
