“A separate custom order?” The secretary who was delivering the original evening dress was taken aback.
In previous years, the president’s office and the public relations department had separately gone about making arrangements for the formal outfits on their own and had never done it together.
When Wen Yadai used to be around, she had asked to customize her outfit together with Yu Yuehan’s, but the request was rejected.
To think that the rule would be broken this year!
Hearing this, Nian Xiaomu turned to look at the assistant with a look of bewilderment.
Yu Yuehan was not even talking to her anymore, yet he would let her accompany him to the ball…
Furthermore, she had not even given him her body measurements before. How did he know what her dress size was?
Nian Xiaomu lowered her eyes to her bosom as her mind recalled flashbacks of the many times she had woken up in his arms.
Surely he had not based his estimation from those experiences… what a perverted jerk!
When the secretary heard that the original evening dress was not needed anymore, she left with it immediately.
The assistant also took his leave after relaying the message.
Nian Xiaomu was the only person left in the manager’s office.
She sat down again at her work desk, but could not focus on any of the documents in front of her.
Her eyes could only see images of Yu Yuehan’s face.
She could not figure who or what was behind his hot and cold behavior toward her…
–
On the day of the ball.
Nian Xiaomu had just finished her lunch and returned to her office when the assistant appeared.
“Manager Nian, I’m here to take you to try on the evening dress.”
“… try on the evening dress? Didn’t you say that you would send it to me directly?” a puzzled Nian Xiaomu asked why there was a sudden change of plans.
A streak of light flickered across the assistant’s face. He explained, “The evening dress was only just completed. As the work was rather rushed, we are worried that it might not fit well. It’s best to try it on at the shop and have it altered as needed.”
Hearing this, Nian Xiaomu did not think too much about the explanation.
Grabbing her handbag, she followed the assistant out of her office.
On the way to the car, she tried to find out where the boutique was.
When they arrived at the parking lot, she caught sight of a familiar-looking limousine, and her footsteps halted immediately.
The next second, the car door opened, revealing a distinguished Yu Yuehan seated in the back.
Watching Nian Xiaomu take her time to walk over, he lifted his eyes slightly. As his glance swept past her, it sent an electrical charge through her whole body and caused her to tremble all over!
Nian Xiaomu turned toward the assistant with a look of panic.
What sabotage!
She had thought that she was going to fitting for the evening dress on her own. Why didn’t anyone inform her that she was going together with the iceberg?
Had she known about it earlier, she would have put on a coat.
She was scared of the frostiness!
“Manager Nian, we don’t have much time. Get in the car.” The assistant by the side hurried her along.
Nian Xiaomu could only muster up her courage and crawl into the car.
Just as she was about to sit down on the seat furthest away from Yu Yuehan, she suddenly saw him turn toward her and snarl, “Afraid that I’ll eat you up?”
“…” As a chill went down her spine, Nian Xiaomu sat down right next to Yu Yuehan!
She was tempted to just stick herself onto his body to prove to him that she was not afraid of him!
Yu Yuehan saw her actions, and the the icy feeling on him started to disappear. He kept silent as he shut his eyes and leaned against the backrest.
In the quiet car, only the sounds of their breathing could be heard.
In contrast to his calmness, Nian Xiaomu’s heart was a tsunami of nerves.
She had been too anxious before, and her whole body was touching Yu Yuehan’s.
It was almost as good as leaning against him.
Although Nian Xiaomu’s posture looked like she was leaning against Yu Yuehan, she did not dare to rest her body weight on him. In the end, she was exhausted from maintaining this strained posture.
After a while, she felt numb.
Nian Xiaomu thought of shifting her backside, but was afraid it would stir Yu Yuehan from his rest.
However, if she were not to move at all, her waist was going to give way…
Gritting her teeth, Nian Xiaomu decided to just shift herself just a little bit, but the car jerked suddenly, causing her stiffened body to go crashing into Yu Yuehan!
