Chapter 178: A Blinding Scene   It was hard to associate the him she saw now to the man who was always passionate when around her.

It didn’t seem like both personas were, in fact, one person.

Not wanting to disturb him, she tiptoed out as quietly as possible. But the moment she took the first step, the man looked up at her.

He asked tenderly, “Baby, did you sleep well?”

Qiao Mianmian was speechless.

She bit her lip and turned to him a little abashedly. “Did I disturb you?”

“No.”

Mo Yesi put down the fountain pen in his hand and called her over with his finger.

Qiao Mianmian walked towards him and he reached out to pull her in. His strong arm was around her waist and he easily shifted her onto his lap.

He whispered at her ear, his every warm breath sending tingles down her spine. “You’re way more important than my work.”

Qiao Mianmian went red instantly.

Her face was a little red from her sleep, so the blush wasn’t too obvious.

Just a moment ago, he looked so unapproachable and nonchalant. But his vibes changed immediately.

Now, he was making her heart pump so quickly.

“W-Why didn’t you send me to school?” Qiao Mianmian tried to tilt her head away from him as his warm breath was too ticklish.

The man chuckled. “You fell asleep in the car. I couldn’t bear to wake you up since you seemed to be so soundly asleep, so I brought you here instead.”

Qiao Mianmian had already told Jiang Luoli that she might not make it back in time for the afternoon classes.

So it wasn’t a big deal that she was missing them.

“... Could you let me go?” Qiao Mianmian’s heart was pounding so rapidly against his chest.

So rapidly... she was getting scared.

This was a strange and new feeling to her, and it was making her flustered.

She never felt this way when she was with Su Ze.

Perhaps it was because she’d known Su Ze for too long, while she barely knew this man.

Hence, she wasn’t used to this level of intimacy.

“No.” The man chuckled again and stroked her hair as tenderness filled his eyes. “Baby, I like holding you like that. Don’t you like it?”

Qiao Mianmian was speechless.

“Hm? Do you like Hubby to hold you this way?”

When she still didn’t respond, the man tipped her chin upwards and looked at her deeply. “Answer me.”

Qiao Mianmian’s face was burning up. “Mo Yesi, I...”

...

Right then, someone could be heard knocking on the door.

A voice rang out from behind the door, “Chairman Mo, there’s a document that we need you to go through personally.”

Qiao Mianmian immediately pushed Mo Yesi aside.

The man tensed his arms, keeping her in place as if knowing that she was going to do that already. “Don’t move.”

Qiao Mianmian stiffened up.

Mo Yesi smiled upon seeing her embarrassed look and said to the person outside, “Come in.”

...

Wei Zheng opened the door and was greeted by a blinding scene.

His Chairman Mo was hugging Young Madam at the desk. He had a document in one hand, while his other hand was wrapped around her waist.
